I am a fairy in Journey to the West

On Yunlan Mountain, the majestic and solemn Aoyun Immortal Palace shines with divine light in all directions.

The Celestial Fox Immortal was bound by a Binding Immortal Rope and locked beside the incense burner outside the Aoyun Palace. The wound from the Heavenly Arrow in his heart was still there, but the Celestial Fox Immortal's magic power and blood energy no longer flowed away.

Chi Ling took the elixir given to her by Xiu Huang Tong Zi, and her injuries healed quickly. At this moment, she was counting heads with Hua Yue Er Lang.

"In this battle at the Little Saint's Mansion, 167 divine generals were lost," said Hua Yue Erlang. "The remaining wounded vary in severity and have been arranged to receive treatment."

Chi Ling said, "Recently, many gods whose temples have been destroyed have been forced to wander around and escape without their temples and shrines. I think we can temporarily bring these people under our care."

Hua Yue Erlang said, "This matter still requires His Majesty's approval before it can be done."

Chi Ling said directly, "I will go and ask His Majesty." After saying that, she turned around and left, and soon arrived outside the main hall of Aoyun Palace.

"Should we still not announce it?" Chi Ling asked Xiu Huang Tongzi.

Xiu Huang Tongzi said impatiently, "Oh dear, how many times have I told you? His Majesty has already said that there is no need to announce your arrival. Just go in directly."

Chi Ling said, "Of course I have to ask. What if I need to report to the emperor someday? Wouldn't that make me an trespasser?"

Xiuhuang Tongzi said earnestly, "I will naturally stop you then. Don't ask again in the future, just go in directly."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Chi Ling smiled and walked into the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, Chi Ling heard laughter coming from the side. Turning her head, she saw Zhuang Yan playing a game of pitch-pot with Wu Lei Tian Jun, Ju Ling Shen, and others on the left side of the hall.

Chi Ling stepped forward and saw Zhuang Yan dressed in casual clothes, with a tall crown and wide belt, holding an arrow made of Northern Dark Iron in his hand.

A pottery jar would occasionally appear suddenly in the void ahead, only to disappear in an instant, moving at an extremely fast speed.

Zhuang Yan stared intently ahead when suddenly, a flash appeared in the void, and the pottery jar abruptly reappeared. Zhuang Yan immediately threw out the arrow in his hand, which shot out and landed inside the pottery jar the instant it disappeared into the void.

With a 'thud,' the arrow fell straight into the spout of the pot, and the Five Thunder Gods and Giant Spirit Gods around immediately burst into cheers, "Good! Excellent technique!"

Zhuang Yan laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and then noticed Chi Ling beside him.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Yan asked with a smile.

Chi Ling said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea that I would like to present to Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Zhuang Yan glanced at Chi Ling, then turned around and raised his hand to frame the void. He then said to Wu Lei Tianjun and Ju Ling Shen, "You guys play first."

The Five Thunder Gods and the Giant Spirit God bowed and said, "As you command."

Zhuang Yan then walked to the sandalwood chair on the other side of the main hall and sat down. A servant boy brought him hot tea, which Zhuang Yan took a small sip of before setting down the teacup and asking, "What are your thoughts?"

Chi Ling then reported to Zhuang Yan what she had discussed with Hua Yue Erlang. After listening, Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Instead of running away and hiding everywhere, why not do our part?"

After saying that, Zhuang Yan issued a decree and sent it to Chi Ling, saying, "This matter is entrusted to you."

Chi Ling accepted the imperial edict and immediately stood up, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly handle this matter well."

After saying this, Chi Ling bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and turned to leave the main hall.

Having received Zhuang Yan's edict, Chi Ling turned around and found Hua Yue Erlang to discuss with him the matter of gathering the gods from various places.

At the same time, Liang Nu and the Bull Demon King also arrived at Yunlan Mountain and landed outside Aoyun Palace.

Upon seeing the three large characters "Aoyun Palace," Liang Nu immediately stepped forward, but was quickly stopped by the divine general on duty.

"Halt! This is the palace of the Divine Emperor Shenxiao. Trespassers will be killed." A group of divine generals directly blocked Liang Nu and the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King hurriedly stepped forward, took out an imperial edict, and handed it over. "I am the Bull Demon King, the General of the Lingtai Dao Palace of Buzhou Mountain. This is my imperial edict of appointment."

Upon hearing this, the leading general's expression changed slightly, and he then took the imperial edict from the Bull Demon King's hand and examined it carefully.

This is indeed an imperial edict conferring the title of Bull Demon King, and it is stamped with the Jade Palace Seal of the Mortal Realm.

"So it was the Mighty Bull Demon King." After checking, the general's expression softened. He respectfully bowed to the Bull Demon King and then said to his colleagues, "This imperial edict is genuine."

He then handed the imperial edict back to the Bull Demon King and asked, "Your Majesty, have you come to see the Divine Firmament Emperor?"

"Indeed," said the Bull Demon King. "Please inform them that Lady Liang and the Bull Demon King have come to pay their respects."

The general glanced at Liang Nu, then nodded and said, "Alright, Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will go in and inform them."

Just moments later, the divine general led the giant spirit god out.

The gods hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects, but the giant spirit waved his hand and asked, "Where is Sister Liang?"

All the gods looked at Liang Nu and the Bull Demon King. The Bull Demon King looked at the Giant Spirit God and said, "Which of the two words, 'me,' 'Liang Nu,' and 'sister,' do you think applies to this?"

The Giant Spirit glared at the Bull Demon King, then stepped forward and said to Liang Nu, "Sister Liang Nu, His Majesty sent me to fetch you. Come with me."

"And what about me?" the Bull Demon King asked.

The Giant Spirit God said, "Come or don't come, it's up to you." With that, he turned and entered the palace gate. Liang Nu reached out and patted the head of the Seven-Colored Heavenly Crown, which immediately shot into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

The Giant Spirit God led Liang Nu to the main hall where Zhuang Yan was, and on the way they encountered Chi Ling and Hua Yue Erlang.

He certainly recognized the Bull Demon King Chi Ling, but he had never seen Liang Nu Chi Ling before.

"Giant Spirit God, what brings this young lady here?" Chi Ling asked.

The giant spirit introduced Liang Nu: "This is Chi Ling, the Grand Commandant of the Dust Jade Palace, and one of His Majesty's confidants."

Upon hearing this, Liang Nu quickly bowed to Chi Ling and said, "Liang Nu greets Grand Commandant Chi Ling."

Chi Ling returned the greeting blankly, then looked at Liang Nu and asked, "Who are you?"

Liang Nu smiled and said, "Reporting to the Grand Commandant, the Great Emperor Lingtai Dongming Shenxiao is my master."

"Oh my god!!!" Akaya exclaimed in surprise, "Really? You're His Majesty's disciple?"

The Giant Spirit God said from the side, "Grand Commandant, would anyone dare to impersonate him?"

"Alright, alright." Chi Ling nodded, then looked at Liang Nu and said, "What a pretty little sister, we should keep in touch more often in the future."

Liang replied with a smile, "Yes, Grand Commandant."

“Hey, what’s your name, Grand Commandant? Come on, call me sister.” Chi Ling said, clinging to Liang Nu’s shoulder.

Liang Nu was not intimidated at all and called out "Sister" generously. Chi Ling was overjoyed, "If you ask me, His Majesty has good taste and has taken on such a good disciple." The Giant Spirit God said, "Grand Commandant, His Majesty is still waiting in the palace."

"Oh, oh." Chi Ling came back to her senses and quickly said to Liang Nu, "Go see your master quickly. I also have things to do. See you later."

"Okay," Liang replied, and then Chi Ling left with Hua Yue Erlang.

Then the Giant Spirit God led Liang Nu and the Bull Demon King into the main hall. Upon seeing Zhuang Yan, the Bull Demon King immediately bowed and said, "The Bull Demon King greets Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "No need for formalities, please get up."

The Bull Demon King bowed in thanks and rose. At this moment, Liang Nu also stepped forward, knelt down, and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

"Alright, alright," Zhuang Yan said with a smile. "Don't kneel down so easily; it's bad for your knees."

After saying this, Zhuang Yan sat down on the sandalwood chair, and then invited the Bull Demon King to sit down as well. The Giant Spirit God bowed with his hands clasped and turned to do his own thing.

After Liang Nu took her seat, Zhuang Yan asked, "Fellow Daoist Bodhi told me that you came down the mountain in search of an opportunity to become an immortal. How was your journey?"

Liang sighed and said, "Master, Xiniu Hezhou is more chaotic than before. Before, only living beings suffered, but now even the gods in various places are struggling to protect themselves."

Zhuang Yan smiled but did not answer the question. Instead, he asked Liang Nu, "So what do you want to do next?"

Liang said, "Master, I want to do something, something within my power."

"I understand," Zhuang Yan said. "Since you want to contribute, then stay here as a general. There's no rank or salary for you, only danger and no benefits. Are you willing to do it?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Nu immediately stood up and said, "Master, this disciple is willing."

"Okay, then it's decided." Zhuang Yan said, then called out to the side, "Jiang Han."

Jiang Han, who was sorting pills with the Giant Spirit God, quickly put down what he was doing and ran over. "Your Majesty, did you call me?"

Zhuang Yan pointed at Liang Nu and said, "Her name is Liang Nu, and she is my disciple."

Jiang Han's expression turned serious, and he immediately bowed to Liang Nu, who quickly returned the bow.

“From now on, she is a divine general under your command, without any official rank or salary. Don’t favor her out of consideration for me. Let her do whatever the other divine generals do, understand?” Zhuang Yan asked.

Jiang Han said, "Your Majesty, I understand."

"Okay." Zhuang Yan nodded and said to Liang Nu, "Then you should go with him. Do whatever he tells you to do."

Liang bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Master."

Watching Liang Nu and Jiang Han leave, the Bull Demon King quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please assign me a task as well. I want to make a contribution."

"Hahaha." Zhuang Yan laughed, "You're not hiding anything. Alright, go find Commander Chi Ling later and tell her that I asked you to go help her."

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King was overjoyed and immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty!"

King Chongtai Jinming, King Dongji Taizi, King Beixiao Mingguang, and King Nanhe Liutu successively led their demon soldiers to Hanguang Cave. The power of the five great demon saints, spanning most of Xiniu Hezhou, converged together.

In addition to the five great demon saints, there were also demon kings from all over the country who came, all of whom were attracted by Liu Chenxiang's proclamation and the reputation of the five great demon saints.

Within a radius of two thousand miles outside Hanguang Cave, monsters from all over Xiniu Hezhou gathered, rallied under Liu Chenxiang's banner of "rebellion against Heaven," and traveled thousands of miles to join in the grand event.

Inside the cave, powerful demons filled the room, with tables laden with celestial wines, delicacies, and spiritual fruits. Within a radius of two thousand miles outside the cave, bonfires and black smoke filled the air.

Inside Hanguang Cave, Liu Chenxiang, along with the five great demon saints and demon kings from various regions, ate the meat of spirit beasts and immortal birds, and drank fine wine brewed from immortal fruits and herbs.

Outside Hanguang Cave, countless monsters gathered in small groups, lit bonfires, and ate the mortals they had abducted from the human world.

The scene was lively, but also bloody. Evil energy filled the sky, dark clouds were as black as ink, and the wild laughter that filled the mountains and fields was mixed with the cries that could not be concealed.

Inside the Hanguang Cave, King Tai Zi of the Eastern Pole raised his wine cup and said, "The power of most of Xiniu Hezhou has gathered here. We have assembled a total of 100,000 demon soldiers. This time, we will definitely turn the world upside down."

The crowd cheered and drank a cup. Then, the Great King of Nanhe Liutu said, "That Great Emperor Shenxiao dares to come to Yunlan Mountain. If my 100,000 demon soldiers arrive in the morning and evening, let's see if he panics."

"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter, as if they could already see Zhuang Yan sitting in the main hall of Aoyun Palace, looking panicked and terrified by their imposing presence.

"In short!" At this moment, King Chongtai Jinming also stood up. He had only said two words when the laughter in the cave quieted down.

King Chongtai Jinming continued, "In short, this is a golden opportunity. My 100,000 demon soldiers will surround the Yunlan Mountain Palace in one fell swoop. We must capture the Divine Firmament Emperor and then rescue Fellow Daoist Tianhu."

“Indeed,” said the Great King of the Northern Underworld. “After capturing the Divine Emperor of Shenxiao, we can advance with our power, overthrow the Western Mountain Divine Palace, and capture the Western Mountain Emperor. At that time, both emperors will be in our hands, and the Heavenly Court will have no choice but to submit. Then, whatever demands we make, the Heavenly Court will have no choice but to agree.”

The demon kings were extremely excited, their breathing quickened, and some even shouted, "I want to become an emperor too!"

Upon hearing this, all the demon kings shouted excitedly, and the morale inside Hanguang Cave soared.

Upon seeing this, Liu Chenxiang immediately stood up, and the moment he stood up, everyone quickly fell silent.

Liu Chenxiang said, "Fellow Daoists are in high spirits, which is a good thing. However, the Divine Firmament Emperor has many capable people around him, even though the Divine Firmament Emperor himself is a powerful cultivator."

At this point, Liu Chenxiang said in a calm tone, "In tomorrow's battle, I urge everyone to unite as one and advance and retreat together, so that we can achieve a world-shaking feat, and your names will surely resound throughout the Three Realms and Heavens."

Upon hearing Liu Chenxiang's words, the five great demon saints—Feilian Hanguang, Taijinming, Dongji Taizi, Beixiao Mingguang, and Nanhe Liutu—directly proposed: "We should swear a blood oath, acknowledge the Little Sage Equaling Heaven as our master, unite as one, advance and retreat together, and create great achievements together."

"Alright!" all the demon kings responded in unison.

Then everyone gathered together, with Liu Chenxiang at the center, the five demon saints in the middle, and the demon kings on the periphery. Each of them cut their middle finger and forced a drop of blood to fall into the wine jar.

Then, led by Liu Chenxiang, everyone scooped up a bowl of blood wine, recited the oath together, and finally drank the blood wine in one gulp.

After the oath was taken, the five great demon saints and the various demon kings returned to prepare for the battle the next day.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, countless black flags suddenly rose above the thousands of mountains and ridges outside Hanguang Cave.

From a distance, they looked like black clouds floating over the mountains. Each black flag represented a faction, with the leader naturally bearing the black flag that read "Little Sage Equal to Heaven".

Next came the five great banners: Feilian Hanguang Great King, Taijinming Great King, Dongji Taizi Great King, Beixiao Mingguang Great King, and Nanhe Liutu Great King. Then came the banners of the various cave demon kings, all of which were black banners.

Then, the thousands upon thousands of flags fluttered in the wind, like black waves surging, and coupled with the overwhelming demonic aura, they immediately shook the surrounding area.

At this moment, the struggle between the Brahma sect and the Buddhist sect ceased, and the demonic path also stopped causing trouble. The gods and immortals in heaven and on earth all turned their attention to Xiniu Hezhou and to the black tide that was surging toward Yunlan Mountain at an extremely fast speed.

This is exactly:
A thick, eerie mist shrouded the sky, while black flags rolled in. (End of Chapter)
