I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 182 For Whom

"Who goes there?" Tian Bo Xun suddenly looked in the direction of the voice, and what he saw was an overwhelming barrage of fist shadows.

boom!
His body was smashed heavily into the mountainside.

A dazzling light suddenly burst forth from between Tian Bo Xun's brows. The moment the silver light appeared, all the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles came to a standstill.

Tianbo Xun was too confident. He was the most powerful demon king of the Asura lineage. Now that his true form had appeared here, with a single move, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles would stagnate. All ants below the level of Quasi-Saint would be suppressed by this stagnant state and unable to move.

His anger needed to be vented, and his voice was filled with arrogance. He struggled to crawl out of the mountain and roared, "Where did this dog come from, daring to ambush me..."

Gudong!

Tianbo Xun subconsciously swallowed, staring in disbelief at the countless heavenly soldiers and generals, and at the Zhenwu Emperor who was completely unaffected and slowly descending.

Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, He turned and disappeared into the mountain. His body began to twist as He tried to escape. Not only that, all His blood vessels burst, and blood engulfed Him.

Blood Escape!
One move is all it takes to know if someone is capable or not; Tianbo Xun is indeed decisive.

Unfortunately, he was facing the True Martial Emperor.

"Stop!" Emperor Zhenwu uttered a single word, and Tianbo Xun's distorted body began to return to normal, eventually reverting to its original form.

Tianbo Xun slowly turned around, his eyes beginning to bleed.

The True Martial Emperor laughed and looked to his side: "Laojun, look, He is actually resisting!"

Tianbo Xun stopped his tears of blood and looked to the side of Zhenwu Emperor, where he saw the figure of Taishang Laojun slowly appear.

Tian Bo Xun was dumbfounded.

Did the patriarch betray us?

The other side mobilized two big shots because of me alone?
It's no wonder that Tianbo Xun thought that way. Not only were there countless heavenly soldiers and generals, but the simultaneous appearance of these two was also quite unusual. If they hadn't set up the trap beforehand, who could have arranged it like this?
Tianbo Xun sat on the ground, his neck raised high, waiting to die.

He had considered rebelling, but as a mere emperor, it would be an honor to fight to the death for a posthumous reputation. However, facing these two at the same time, any means would only be a joke.

"Before I die, I have a question, and I ask Your Majesty to answer it: Was this scheme set up specifically for me?"

"You are not worthy!" The True Martial Emperor's sword finger fell, and a white light pierced directly through Tian Bo Xun's forehead.

Bang!
Tianbo Xun's body exploded, splattering blood and foam everywhere.

The moment the blood touched the ground, it seeped into the earth at lightning speed.

The True Martial Emperor looked at Laozi to the side and said, "Please, Laozi, make a move."

"You're too kind, Your Majesty." Laozi swept his whisk across the table.

Rumble!
Waves began to rise from the ground, and then an enormous alchemy furnace slowly rose from the earth.

As luck would have it, the furnace contained exactly the area where all of Tianbo Xun's bloodstains had fallen.

click!
The alchemy furnace was closed perfectly.

Lao Jun then smiled and said, "After this battle, the Great Emperor may not leave the mountain without the decree of a sage, and will fully take over the territory of Beiju Luzhou to establish his true title of Emperor."

The True Martial Emperor cupped his hands in thanks to Laozi: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Sage."

Laozi looked at the countless heavenly soldiers and generals again: "With the Emperor's strength, there's really no need for such a grand display." "After all, the Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms. He personally issued the decree, so how dare I disobey? This also serves as a warning to those who are wicked, and we can all be at His Majesty's command."

The True Martial Emperor spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and Laozi's lips curled up slightly: "The fact that the Great Emperor can prioritize the safety of the Three Realms is a blessing for all beings in the Three Realms."

"I dare not accept such praise." Emperor Zhenwu did not dwell on the topic. After all, he had now become the true ruler of Beiju Luzhou, and saying a few more polite words would save face for everyone.

The True Martial Emperor pointed to the alchemy furnace: "Laojun prepared this alchemy furnace very early. If Laojun hadn't personally taken action, even I wouldn't have been able to detect that there was an alchemy furnace here."

The True Martial Emperor's words were not a lie. He had guarded this place for many days and searched the entire area within a thousand miles, but he had never found the location of the alchemy furnace.

Unexpectedly, Laozi made a move and the alchemy furnace was formed on its own. If it hadn't been arranged in advance, He wouldn't have believed it.

"To be honest, it was left behind by Fellow Daoist Xuantian. I'm just here to collect it."

The True Martial Emperor remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "So, the time it took for this barrier to break..."

Lao Jun waved his hand without saying much: "All the causes have already been laid down. The Great Emperor lost three of his favorite disciples, which gave him the determination to kill them and the imperial edict that gave the Emperor a legitimate reason to act. I think this has already answered the Great Emperor's doubts."

"The medicinal value of this Heavenly Bo Xun is extremely high. When the Sage of Xuan Tian saw that I was obsessed with making medicine, he used this to entice me to take action. I was unwilling at first, but later I heard that this thing could guarantee the power to bring the dead back to life, so I came."

Laozi muttered a lot of things, then swept his whisk again, and the alchemy furnace transformed into a miniature form, falling into his sleeve.

"I need to go back and speed up the research on the Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill. I believe His Majesty will be very happy about it."

After Laozi finished speaking, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Zhenwu the Great and said, "This old man will take his leave now."

The True Martial Emperor hurriedly bowed and said, "Laojun, please proceed!"

Laozi left, and Zhenwu the Great looked at the barrier. At this moment, the barrier was not broken in the slightest. How could a barrier formed under the Great Vow, which had cost countless lives, be easily broken?

Judging from its current state, it seems that the barrier has become even more solid due to the opponent's breakthrough.

"Interesting! Truly interesting!" Even the True Martial Emperor couldn't help but clap his hands.

Laozi's previous words couldn't be clearer.

The two generals, Turtle and Snake, immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Ye Xuantian is no ordinary person. His scheming is so deep and his plans so far-reaching that they have already surpassed the methods of a sage and are no weaker than the Dao. Do we really still need to cooperate with him?"

"My three prized disciples have died, so I should vent my anger. Laozi has been researching the Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill for many years without any progress. Now, by sheer coincidence, such an opportunity has presented itself. The Jade Emperor is naturally even more concerned about this, so he issued an edict to give me a legitimate reason to act."

The True Martial Emperor seemed to be answering the questions for the Turtle and Snake Generals, or perhaps he was tracing the events leading up to this incident.

The True Martial Emperor recalled the question asked by Tianbo Xun earlier, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"This situation seems to have really been set up for Him, how interesting!"

……

"This whole scheme was designed for me!" The Styx Ancestor finally spoke as he watched the soul lamp belonging to Tian Bo Xun shatter.

Shiva looked on incredulously: "Is this all for you, Ancestor?"

"Yes! The reason I had you break through from Beiju Luzhou is because I sensed that the barrier there was loosening. As long as we go all out, we can definitely break it and create a passage that allows one person to leave. Although it will be short, it will be enough."

"I thought it was a loophole left for me by the Heavenly Dao, but now it seems that Ye Xuantian has really reached out to me."
