I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 78: The demon-catching monkeys fight in Huaguo Mountain, and the gods and demons attack each other with a surprise plan

But at a command from the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the Nine Stars Officials took the lead in attacking and killing. It turned out that Sun Wukong had subdued the One-horned Demon King of the Flower-Fruit Mountain and the 72 Demon Kings of the Caves.

This time, the One-horned Ghost King, the 72 Cave Demon Kings, and the four generals Ma, Liu, Beng, and Ba came out to fight, but they were all killed by the heavenly soldiers led by the Nine-Star Official, and were blocked at the iron bridge.

The soldiers on both sides were shouting at the iron bridge when they suddenly heard a voice of "get out of the way" from behind them. Then they saw Sun Wukong pulling out his golden hoop and attacking all the way out.

None of the Nine Star Officials could stop him. They were all beaten back by Sun Wukong in an instant. They had to stand still and shouted, "You ignorant horse keeper! You have committed ten evil crimes. First you stole peaches, then you stole wine, disrupted the Peach Festival, and then you stole Laojun's elixir. You also stole the imperial wine and elixir to enjoy yourself here. You are adding crime to crime. Don't you know it?"

Sun Wukong laughed loudly and said, "These things were indeed done by me, Old Sun. What do you think?"

The Nine Stars official said, "We are following the Jade Emperor's order to lead the people here to subdue you. Hurry up and convert! Otherwise, we will flatten this mountain and overturn this cave!"

Sun Wukong was furious when he heard this: "How dare you, a bunch of hairy gods, speak so arrogantly? Don't leave, please take a beating from me."

After saying that, Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel and attacked. The nine star officials were all excited and worked together, leading their generals and heavenly soldiers to besiege Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong showed no fear at all. He swung his golden cudgel to attack left and block right, sweeping in all directions. In less than a moment, he had defeated the Nine Stars Official, who was exhausted and had to throw away his weapon.

The Nine Stars official reported to the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King: "That demon monkey is indeed very brave. We were unable to defeat him and were defeated."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately mobilized the Four Heavenly Kings, the twenty-eight constellations, the twelve zodiac signs, and the five direction Jie Di to lead the troops to fight. Sun Wukong then mobilized the One-horned Ghost King, the seventy-two cave demon kings, and the four strong generals to form a battle formation outside the cave and engage in a melee with the heavenly soldiers.

For a while, the wind was howling, the fog was thick, the helmets were rolling and shining, the layers of armor were shining, the sand and stones were flying, the sky was dark, the dust was flying and the universe was dark. All I could hear was the sound of soldiers fighting and shocking the world, and the fierce and powerful voices that shocked the ghosts and gods.

The battle started at Chenshi in the morning and lasted until sunset. In the end, the One-horned Ghost King and the seventy-two cave demon kings were all captured by the heavenly soldiers. Only the four strong warriors and the group of monkeys escaped and hid at the bottom of the Water Curtain Cave.

At this time, Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel and rushed up to the sky, resisting the Four Heavenly Kings, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and Nezha the Third Prince. Then, he fought fiercely under the siege of a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, but he showed no sign of fatigue. Instead, he became more and more courageous, and defeated the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers again and again.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Wukong saw that it was getting dark, so he plucked out his monkey hair, shouted "change", and blew out hundreds of clones, all rushing forward.

He quickly repelled the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Nezha the Third Prince and others, and then defeated the Four Heavenly Kings, the Five Direction Jiedis, the East and West Stars, the Two Gods of the North and South, and other heavenly soldiers and generals.

After winning a great victory, Sun Wukong immediately put away his hair, went back to his cave, and came to the iron bridge. He saw the four strong men and the monkeys there greeting him, but they all sobbed three times and laughed three times.

Sun Wukong asked: "Why do you cry and laugh when you see me?"

The four warriors said, "In today's battle, the One-Horned Demon King and the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings were captured by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, so they cried loudly. Seeing that the King defeated the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and returned unharmed, they laughed loudly."

Sun Wukong laughed loudly and said, "Victory and defeat are common in the military. Besides, the 72 demon kings who were captured were all tigers, leopards, wolves, insects, badgers, deer, foxes and the like. None of my kind was hurt, so why worry? Although the heavenly soldiers and generals were killed by my clone technique, they will not withdraw. Let's defend tightly, have a full meal, sleep peacefully and recuperate. Tomorrow, I will use my great magical power to capture these heavenly generals and avenge them."

The monkeys nodded in response to the order.

On the other hand, although the heavenly soldiers and generals were defeated by Sun Wukong, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King quickly reorganized his army and withdrew the war.

This time all the heavenly soldiers and generals came to report their achievements. Some captured tigers and leopards, some captured lions and elephants, some captured wolves, insects, foxes and camels, but they did not catch a single monkey spirit.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King rewarded them one by one, and then sent troops to continue besieging the Flower-Fruit Mountain while setting up camp in the First Heaven.

At this moment, in the Lingxiao Palace, all the gods and immortals were shocked to see the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals defeated.

"Where did this Sun Wukong acquire such abilities? Even a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals are no match for him." Taiyi Zhenren said in surprise.

Jade Ding Zhenren shook his head and said, "I can't tell the origin of his method."

At this time, the Thunder Chief, the Godly Mighty Demon-Subduing Thunderbolt True Lord, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, should we send more heavenly soldiers and generals to the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's camp to help?"

The Jade Emperor said, "Pass on my order to send the five Marshals of the Thunder Department, the Giant Spirit God, the Eight-Directional Cloud Thunder Generals, the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Generals, and the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Generals to assist. Also, send Marshal Tianpeng to lead the Tianhe Navy."

"As you command." The God of Power and Thunderbolt nodded in response to the order, then ordered his troops to go, and also sent a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to the lower world to help.

At this time, the Jade Emperor sent another order to the Four Heavenly Masters, saying, "Tell the four immortals to bring purple coins, golden flowers, and delicacies and immortal wine to reward the heavenly generals and soldiers. Tell them to convey my order again, saying that the heavens are merciful and tell the one-horned ghost king and the seventy-two cave demon kings that if they are willing to return to the right path and no longer follow the demon monkey to rebel against the heavens, they can all be released."

Hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren and other immortals bowed and said, "Great Heavenly Venerable, please have mercy."

The four heavenly masters took the order and left. Soon they arrived at the camp of the First Heaven. They first read out the Jade Emperor's reward decree and distributed all the purple money, golden flowers, delicacies and fairy wine to all the heavenly soldiers and generals. All of a sudden, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were all grateful to the Jade Emperor for his kindness. They swept away the defeat and their morale was greatly boosted.

The one-horned ghost king and the seventy-two cave demon kings were also brought out. After the four heavenly masters read out the Jade Emperor's order, all the demons swore an oath, vowing to return to the right path and never rebel against Heaven again.

So the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King followed the Jade Emperor's order and released the One-Horned Ghost King and the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings. After the One-Horned Ghost King and the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings were released to the lower world, they scattered and never returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

After the Heavenly Court sent reinforcements, Nezha the Third Prince immediately had an idea. He found the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and said, "Father, if the Heavenly Court sends reinforcements, we can attack the Flower-Fruit Mountain at night."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Tota Heavenly King asked, "A sneak attack?"

Nezha nodded and said, "I, Deng, Xin, Liu, Bi, Pang, the Giant Spirit God, the Eight-Directional Cloud Thunder Generals, the Thirty-six Heavenly Generals, and the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends Generals will attack the Flower-Fruit Mountain at night to capture the demon monkey."

Hearing this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately looked at the generals whose names Nezha had just mentioned and asked, "What do you think, generals?"

All the generals bowed and said, "We all obey the orders of the Heavenly King."

"Okay." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately issued an order: "Nezha, I order you to lead the troops to attack the Flower-Fruit Mountain at night and capture the demon monkey and bring it back to ask for credit."

Nezha immediately stepped forward to take the arrow order, then bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

After saying that, Nezha led all the generals out of the camp, and they all used their magical powers to hide and go straight down to the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the next heaven.

Nezha and his generals flew into the Flower-Fruit Mountain easily, only to see that there was a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps, and there were monkey soldiers patrolling and standing guard everywhere.

At this time, the seventy-two Earthly Fiends volunteered to come forward. They flew to various sentry posts and used a little magic power, and the patrolling monkey soldiers fell asleep.

Then the 72 Earthly Fiends took over the Flower-Fruit Mountain sentry post and supported them outside, while Nezha and the others continued to go deeper into the Flower-Fruit Mountain. They came to the iron bridge outside the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, where some of Sun Wukong's trusted monkey soldiers were standing guard. Seeing this, the 36 Heavenly Generals immediately flew forward, subdued these monkey soldiers with their magic power, knocked them unconscious, tied them up, and escorted them to the side.

Then Nezha and his companions went straight into the Water Curtain Cave, but unexpectedly, one of the four strong men, a red-buttocked horse monkey, was about to leave the cave and ran into Nezha and his companions head-on.

"Ah?!" The red-butt monkey was shocked. Nezha did not hesitate and raised a gold brick to hit the red-butt monkey in the face. The red-butt monkey fainted on the spot.

"Charge, capture Sun Wukong directly." Nezha shouted, pointing at the throne in the Water Curtain Cave.

Without saying a word, the heavenly generals manifested their Dharma images, rushed to the throne and pressed down, but this time they pressed down, there was nothing there. Nezha hurriedly uncovered the tiger skin covering the throne and saw that it was empty. Where was the Sun Wukong?

"Not good." Nezha was shocked. At this time, the other three generals were also awakened. They saw a group of gods surrounding their king's throne. They were immediately frightened and shouted in panic: "Come quickly, protect the king."

In a moment, the three generals had summoned hundreds of monkey soldiers, who came to attack Nezha and his companions. Nezha immediately turned around with his generals to fight.

These monkey soldiers and generals are so powerful that not only Nezha but also the thirty-six generals can easily defeat them.

In less than an incense stick of time, Nezha and his generals conquered the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and all the monkeys in the Flower-Fruit Mountain were captured by Nezha and his men.

But what surprised everyone was that only Sun Wukong was missing. There were clearly gods and heavenly soldiers everywhere, and they had set up a net to surround the Flower-Fruit Mountain, so how could Sun Wukong be missing?

At the same time, in the camp of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of the First Heaven, a mosquito flew over with a buzzing sound.

At this time, only the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Lie were present in the big tent. The mosquito first flew to Zhu Lie's face and circled for a while. Zhu Lie was affected by it and had to slap it with his hand.

The mosquito started to play around Zhu Lie's head, and Zhu Lie was annoyed and suddenly slapped it, but the mosquito dodged away unexpectedly.

There was a crisp sound of "pa", and Zhu Lie actually slapped himself in the face.

"Ouch." Zhu Lie cried out in pain. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King immediately raised his head and asked in surprise, "Marshal Tianpeng, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Lie quickly bowed and said, "Replying to Heavenly King Li, there was a mosquito just now that disturbed me."

"Mosquitoes?" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King asked in surprise, "Where do mosquitoes come from in this heaven?"

Hearing this, Zhu Lie suddenly woke up, and immediately took out the Shangbaoxun Golden Palladium and shouted loudly: "Who is this monster who dares to trespass into the Heavenly Army camp?"

At this moment, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was also shocked, but the next moment, a golden light flashed in the big tent, and Sun Wukong suddenly appeared.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was horrified and quickly kicked the table in front of him towards Sun Wukong, then turned around to take the pagoda.

Sun Wukong smashed the table with a stick, then flashed forward and knocked the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King to the ground with a stick, then reached out and took the glazed pagoda in his hand.

This scene horrified Li Tianwang so much that he shouted, "My pagoda!"

"Hahaha." Sun Wukong put the pagoda in his arms.

At this time, Zhu Lie held the Baoxun gold palladium in his hand and shouted, "You naughty monkey, stop being so presumptuous." Then he attacked.

Sun Wukong first used his magic power to trap the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and then fought with Zhu Lie with the golden cudgel in hand.

The two fought for only thirty rounds before Zhu Lie felt weak all over and his knuckles were cracked. He was horrified and fought while retreating, seizing the opportunity to perform a transformation and escape.

Sun Wukong did not chase him, but turned around and captured Li Tianwang, and took him back to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

At this time, Zhu Lie had already summoned 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and he led the way and shouted to Sun Wukong: "Monkey, don't let go of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, otherwise you will not be able to escape your fate today."

"Hahaha." Sun Wukong laughed loudly and looked at Zhu Lie and said, "Who the hell are you? How dare you block your grandpa's way?"

Zhu Lie snorted coldly and said, "I am the Marshal of the 80,000 naval forces of Tianhe appointed by the Jade Emperor, Marshal Tianpeng."

"Hahahaha." Hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed even more happily, "I was wondering who it was, it turns out to be the leader of the navy. Why are you here to join in the fun instead of going to your Tianhe?"

Zhu Lie snorted coldly again, and then without saying much to Sun Wukong, he led his 80,000 navy troops and went forward.

The 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals behind also surrounded them from all directions. Seeing this, Sun Wukong pulled out his monkey hair without saying a word, transformed into thousands of clones, and attacked in all directions.

For a moment, the world was shaking, the cry of killing was deafening, the colorful flags were fluttering, the shining armor was glittering like the moon, the black clouds were fierce, the wind was thundering, and the nets of all directions were rolling in from the sky.

Sun Wukong, with his thousands of clones, fought with the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals until the sky was dark, the stars and the moon lost their light, the sky was shaking, and the stars were shaking.

In less than an incense stick of time, Sun Wukong once again killed and repelled 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and captured alive the Heavenly General Tianpeng, the Five Directions Jie Di, the Twelve Yuanchen and other heavenly generals. They were captured by Sun Wukong together with the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and taken to the human world.

Sun Wukong captured the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and the celestial generals and returned with a great victory. As soon as he came down to the mortal world, he saw a group of people in front of him coming out of the Flower-Fruit Mountain and flying towards the sky.

Sun Wukong stopped immediately, and the figures in front flew closer and stopped after they discovered Sun Wukong and others.

When both sides stopped and looked at each other clearly, they were both shocked.

Sun Wukong only saw that Nezha and other gods had captured all the monkeys from his Flower-Fruit Mountain and were holding them behind him.

Nezha and others saw that Sun Wukong captured the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the Heavenly Peng Marshal, the Five Directions Jie Di, the Twelve Yuanchen and other gods, and held them behind him.

For a moment, the two parties met in mid-air, and the atmosphere became extremely subtle and awkward.

And in Daluo Heaven, inside the Lingxiao Palace, all the gods who saw this scene held their foreheads with their hands and sighed.
