I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Ling Feiling carried Duan Kong Zhenren's head back to the Chanhe Water Mansion, which was now in complete disarray.

Fortunately, some of the divine generals have returned and are helping the Turtle Prime Minister of the Chan River Water Palace clean up the mess.

The old ginseng king was healing Ao Jun, while he himself was fine and looked full of energy.

Zhang Xianzong carried Li Zhicheng over and said to Ao Jun and Ling Feiling, "Dragon Lord, Grand Commandant, Brother Li is seriously injured. I need to take him to Lingtai Dao Palace for treatment."

Ao Jun glanced at Li Zhicheng on Zhang Xianzong's back and asked, "Please wait a moment, I will take you to Lingtai Dao Palace."

“No need,” Zhang Xianzong said. “I can go by myself. It’s not far from Lingtai Daogong.”

At this point, Zhang Xianzong looked at the old ginseng king and said, "Just the old ginseng king."

Ling Feiling threw the severed head on the ground and said, "I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzong immediately turned his gaze to Ling Feiling, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Grand Commandant."

After this battle, their wariness of Ling Feiling has lessened considerably.

Zhang Xianzong then took Li Zhicheng away from the Chan River and returned to the Lingtai Taoist Palace.

When he returned to Lingtai Dao Palace, Hongxian was already waiting at the palace gate. Upon seeing Zhang Xianzong return, she immediately said, "Master is in Xuanqing Book Pavilion. Please come with me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianzong realized that Zhuang Yan already knew they had returned, so he carried Li Zhicheng on his back and followed Hongxian all the way to Xuanqing Book Pavilion.

Upon entering the Xuanqing Study, Zhang Xianzong quickly carried Li Zhicheng to Zhuang Yan and set him down, saying, "Your Majesty, Brother Li..."

Zhuang Yan raised his hand to stop Zhang Xianzong, then pointed at Li Zhicheng. A beam of light descended upon Li Zhicheng, and his severed arm was immediately healed.

However, Li Zhicheng's severed arm did not grow back. Zhang Xianzong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhuang Yan.

At this moment, Li Zhicheng slowly woke up. When he saw Zhuang Yan, he hurriedly tried to get up and pay his respects, but found that his hands were gone.

"Your Majesty... my hand!" Li Zhicheng exclaimed.

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have a method to regenerate severed arms. However, how much strength the newly grown arm has depends on your own good fortune."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed at Li Zhicheng, and a talisman immediately appeared in Li Zhicheng's mind.

Zhuang Yan said, "This talisman is called the 'Rebirth Seal.' Go back to Buzhou Mountain and carefully observe and comprehend it. If you can grasp its mysteries within 108 days of its existence, you will gain more than just a pair of regenerated arms. If you cannot grasp any mysteries within 108 days, the Rebirth Seal will directly regenerate your arms, but you will not gain anything else."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhicheng understood that this was Zhuang Yan's reward to him.

Whether he can receive this reward depends on his own understanding and fortune.

Therefore, Li Zhicheng immediately stood up unsteadily and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, then said to Li Zhicheng, "Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow. Go back and rest for now."

Li Zhicheng bowed to Zhuang Yan again to express his gratitude, and then, supported by Zhang Xianzong, left Xuanqing Book Pavilion and went to rest in the refined residence within Lingtai Dao Palace.

The following day, Chi Ling led General Bi Huo, General Bi Zhen, General Tian Wu, and Gu Hanqing to the Lingtai Dao Palace.

The group first met Zhuang Yan at the Xuanqing Book Pavilion, after which Generals Bi Huo, Bi Zhen, and Tian Wu went to pick up Li Zhicheng.

After meeting Li Zhicheng, the four of them went to Xuanqing Book Pavilion again to bid farewell to Zhuang Yan, and then set off back to Buzhou Mountain.

Chi Ling and Gu Hanqing stayed behind to serve Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan looked at Chi Ling and said, "Now you and Zhang Xianzong will go to the Chan River Water Palace to supervise the affairs of the gods in the various places of the Southern Continent, as ordered by me."

Chi Ling bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Then Chi Ling took Zhang Xianzong to the Chanhe Water Palace, while Gu Hanqing stayed by Zhuang Yan's side.

After Chi Ling left, Zhuang Yan stood up and said to Gu Hanqing, "Let's go too."

Gu Hanqing quickly followed up, saying, "Your Majesty, are we also going to the Chanhe Water Palace?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "No, we're going to Huoshan."

After speaking, Zhuang Yan rose on auspicious clouds, carrying Gu Hanqing into the sky, heading straight for Mount Huo. A moment later, Chi Ling and Zhang Xianzong arrived at the Chan River Water Palace. Overnight, Ling Feiling had gathered all the surviving divine generals, totaling more than 3,700 people.

In other words, more than a thousand people died at the hands of Master Duankong last night, and so far, the Southern Mountain Divine Palace has lost two thousand divine generals in battle.

Therefore, when Chi Ling and Zhang Xianzong arrived at the Chan River Water Palace, the patrolling generals were on high alert.

Fortunately, Zhang Xianzong and the others recognized them, so Zhang Xianzong immediately stepped forward and revealed his identity, and only then did these divine generals let them in.

When Ling Feiling saw Chi Ling, her gaze sharpened slightly. Chi Ling was not wearing armor, but only a fifth-grade immortal robe.

But just by standing there, she naturally exuded a terrifying aura, and Ling Feiling's body tensed up, as if she were being stared at by a highly venomous snake.

Zhang Xianzong quickly stepped forward and said, "Grand Commandant Ling, Lord Long, this is Grand Commandant Chiling of my Zhechong Prefecture."

Ling Feiling's pupils contracted; she hadn't expected that it would be the Grand Commandant himself who had come!

Although both the Grand Commandant of the Vanguard and the Grand Commandant of the Five Sacred Mountains are fifth-rank celestial officials, it is clear that the Grand Commandant of the Vanguard of the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm has jurisdiction over the Grand Commandant of the Five Sacred Mountains.

It can be said that the Grand Commandant of the Vanguard was the direct superior of the Grand Commandant of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Therefore, upon hearing that it was Grand Commandant Chi Ling, Ling Feiling was briefly surprised, but immediately stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Ling Feiling, Grand Commandant of the Southern Mountain Divine Palace, pays respects to Grand Commandant Chi Ling."

Ao Jun quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Ao Jun, the water god of the Chan River, pays respects to Grand Commandant Chi Ling."

Chi Ling nodded slightly and said, "You two don't need to be so polite." Then, her gaze swept around and she asked, "Where is the old ginseng king?"

Ao Jun immediately sent someone to fetch the old ginseng king. Soon the old ginseng king was brought over. When he learned that the person in front of him was Chi Ling, the Grand Commandant of the Dust World Jade Palace, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Chi Ling looked at the old ginseng king and said, "You don't need to be so afraid, get up."

The old ginseng king quickly bowed in thanks, then stood up and stood there trembling with fear.

At this moment, Ling Feiling and Ao Jun hurriedly invited Chi Ling to take a seat. Chi Ling stepped forward and sat down in the main seat, followed by Ling Feiling, Ao Jun, Zhang Xianzong, and others who took their seats in turn.

Then Chi Ling asked, "Chan River God, you took on the case of the Old Ginseng King. Have you looked into this case?"

Ao Jun quickly replied, "Reporting to the Grand Commandant, I have already understood the situation."

Akaya then asked, "So, how do you plan to conduct the trial next?"

Ao Jun said, "Reporting to the Grand Commandant, the old ginseng king's testimony is entirely directed at the Huoshan God's Palace. I am about to send someone to invite the Huoshan Mountain God to come and confront him."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ling retorted, "Why invite him over? Can't you just go and investigate directly?"

“This…” Ao Jun paused for a moment, glanced at Ling Feiling, and said, “This minor official has little power and authority. He has no right to leave the Chanhe Water Palace, much less the right to go to the Huoshan Divine Palace to investigate and punish crimes.”

After hearing this, Chi Ling waved her hand dismissively and said, "I'll give you that authority."

Ao Jun was shocked upon hearing this and asked incredulously, "Grand Commandant, what...what did you say?"

Chi Ling smiled calmly and said, "You can use the name of my Zhechong Mansion to take the old ginseng king to Huoshan Divine Mansion to investigate the case and hold the perpetrators accountable."

"Is this okay?" Ao Jun asked, looking completely bewildered.

Ling Feiling, who was standing to the side, said, "That's fine." Then he added, "The Dust and Jade Palace governs the Five Sacred Mountains, and the departments within the Dust and Jade Palace also have vertical jurisdiction over the departments and divine palaces of the Five Sacred Mountains."

Upon hearing this, Ao Jun immediately had no more doubts and turned to look at Chi Ling.

Chi Ling asked, "When do you plan to set off?"

Ao Jun composed herself, then said firmly, "Tomorrow! We'll set off for the Huoshan Divine Palace to investigate the case first thing tomorrow morning!"

Chi Ling nodded and said, "Then I will stay at the Chanhe Water Mansion tonight and set off at dawn tomorrow to investigate the case at the Huoshan Divine Mansion. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feiling and Ao Jun immediately stood up and said, "We have no objections."

Chi Ling nodded and said, "Okay, then it's decided." (End of this chapter)
