Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 249 Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox
Tang Xuanci flew to the monkey's side and, without saying a word, directly relayed Chen Xiaoke's military order, commanding the troops stationed in Azhou to completely surround the mountainous area where the monkey's clone had encircled it.

Hu Danxiao said in a fit of anger:

"Tang Xuanci, how dare you! You have the audacity to mobilize troops across state borders without authorization! I will report this to the regional government and have you punished!"

Tang Xuanci said with righteous indignation:

"Stop trying to fool me!"

"The Jin and Yin brothers led a group of demons to slaughter mortals tonight, causing 165 deaths and more than 200 injuries. Their crimes are heinous."

"There is also the fact that he led the interception and killing of celestial officials in the Xiangjiang River Basin at the beginning of the year, and now there is conclusive evidence."

"In addition, I have collected materials on your Fox A-Si, the Fire Department Immortal Official Fox A-Er, and the Mountain God of Broken Dragon Mountain Fox A-Qi for colluding with demons, abusing their power, acting as protectors, and transferring benefits. The documents weigh more than ninety pounds in total, and I will send them to the Thunder Department tomorrow."

"You dare to save them today? I'll arrest you too!"

"Everyone, listen up! Activate the enforcement beads to record the entire process, fire warning shots, and kill anyone who dares to obstruct celestial affairs or hinder military operations!"

All seven thousand police officers in Alabama agreed in unison, raised their AK47 Pro Max or Max2 rifles, and fired three shots into the air.

But then: ten thousand points of crimson light arrived first, followed by the deafening roar of spears!

The heavenly soldiers and generals of Jinxianling Military Prefecture were all dumbfounded, thinking to themselves, "This is... a celestial messenger from Azhou?"
They outnumber us, have better magical weapons, and even have a stronger aura. If a real fight breaks out, our regular army might not be able to win!
Hu Danxiao was also intimidated by Tang Xuanci, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, this law enforcement procedure can't be done so perfectly without a hundred or eighty years of experience."

Although it didn't quite believe that Tang Xuanci had concrete evidence of its crimes, everyone in the Baoxiang Kingdom knew that Golden Horn and Silver Horn were its sister's adopted sons.

Moreover, Tang Xuanci captured so many demons from Pingdingshan recently, so he must have been able to extract some information that would be detrimental to them.

If we strike first, and the matter escalates to the Domain Palace and the Thunder Department, they won't be able to absolve themselves of responsibility. The crucial point is that we can't win; whether we can even take advantage of the chaos to rescue the Jin and Yin brothers is a question.

After thinking it over, it looked at the veiled woman behind it, and this time... it shook its head.

Soon, the heavenly soldiers and generals of Azhou rushed into the mountains, set up a net of heaven and earth, and used military-grade demon-revealing mirrors to conduct a thorough search together with the celestial messengers and constables.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Wuneng, the two model celestial messengers, both drew their weapons, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.

Before long, even the God of War Chen arrived at the scene. Under the protection of Sha Wujing and several heavenly generals, he personally directed and deployed the operation to ensure that no possibility of the criminals escaping was left unchecked.

However, the cultivation levels of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn were billions of times more powerful and dangerous than Zhou Kehua's. They were likely also proficient in dozens of transformations or possessed some kind of concealment magic weapon, which slowed down the search.

During this time, Hu Danxiao naturally sought help from her elder brother from the Fire Department and other immortals from the Domain Palace.

But Tang Xuanci had anticipated that it would do this, and directly leaked the information to Kui Mulang's men.

Kui Mulang was overjoyed to hear this news. Of course, he couldn't be happier that Jinjiao and Yinjiao died first, and then he could force Chen Xiaoke to be transferred according to the plan. At that time, the entire Azhou would be within his grasp.

So it immediately started causing trouble in the domain, thus restraining the opposing faction.

The powerful figure in the domain was extremely shrewd. Although not a member of the Daoist sect, he was well-versed in the principle of "governing by non-action" and had always turned a blind eye to factional struggles. This time was no exception.

Dawn quietly crept across the horizon.

As the search area shrank and the Golden Horn and Silver Horn were about to be found, the fox clan of Yalong Mountain could no longer sit still. They requested to see Tang Xuanci twice, wanting to have a private talk with him.

"Lord Tang, City God, the Fox Clan has sent another message, saying that the Nine-Tailed Immortal from Broken Dragon Mountain requests an audience."

"They also said that they heard you recently recruited a large number of fox demon cultivators to work in your factory in Azhou, but they couldn't find them."

"So, I'd like to talk about cooperation."

In the mountain camp, Lord Baishan reported to Tang Xuanci.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanci temporarily suppressed his impatience to send the other party away and said:
"No wonder they can't recruit fox demons even with such high salaries in Azhou. They must be forming racial cliques."

It turns out, according to the analysis of demonic power resources—

There are some special races of monsters that greatly help the production of special products in the Three Realms, simply because they are naturally good at mastering certain spells. They don't need to study in a specialized field; they can start working after only simple training.

Fox spirits are of this kind.

Research has revealed that fox spirits can be broadly categorized into five types.

The four most common types are the white-faced fox, the jade-faced fox, the red fox, and the black fox, which respectively lean towards the four Buddhist attributes of earth, wind, fire, and water. They are naturally adept at intervening in four types of chemical changes widely used in production: "silicon-based reactions," "organic synthesis," "oxidation reactions," and "hydrogen bond polymerization."

In addition, the fox clan itself is large in number and relatively more likely to develop intelligence, so some of the simplest jobs can be done without even forming a demon core.

Therefore, Beaker suggested that Tang Xuanci recruit a large number of fox demons, as this would maximize the improvement of his current development.

After a moment's thought, Tang Xuanci said:

"This nine-tailed fox must be the godmother of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and also the person in charge of the fox clan of Broken Dragon Mountain."

"Since she is willing to come forward in person, it means that they are not a fake mother and son. Perhaps the rumors that they are an illegitimate child and his biological mother are not true."

"Why don't we meet them? Maybe we can extort a batch of Golden Core cultivators from them."

Sha Dingtian, who was standing to the side, said:

"Master, the multi-tailed fox is an extremely special species among the fox clan."

"When it forms a demon core, it is called a three-tailed spirit fox; after transforming into human form, it is called a five-tailed black fox; when it becomes a demon immortal, it is a seven-tailed immortal fox; if it truly cultivates to have nine tails, then it is a nine-tailed heavenly fox, whose cultivation is comparable to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"Back when the fox clan was at its zenith, the Fox Fairy had already cultivated to the nine-tailed form. Later, with her death and the dissipation of her cultivation, the fox clan also fell apart and could only maintain its status as one of the Eight Great Families by attaching itself to the maternal relatives."

"This Nine-Tailed Immortal is very mysterious. Although it may be a bluff, Master should still be careful if he wants to see her."

Tang Xuanci nodded and asked him to accompany them. They changed to a place where they could see the monkeys, and also called Zhu Ritian to his side before having someone lure the Nine-Tailed Immortal.

Before long, four beautiful maids carried in a luxurious palanquin, upon which sat an old hag, who was:

Her hair was disheveled and she looked old and frail. Her appearance... was somewhat like that of a female entrepreneur who made home appliances on her home planet.

However, she was quite large-breasted; even with her hunched body, you could tell she was at least an E cup.

Her spirits were also good, which made Tang Xuanci think of Ying Wo, who liked to deliberately turn into an old woman.

"So you're called the Nine-Tailed Immortal? Where's your tail?" Tang Xuanci asked very rudely.

The four maids stopped their carriages early, and the old hag lazily floated up, landing in front of Tang Xuanci. Her gaze was like that of a hungry wolf licking meat, sliding from his stunningly beautiful face to his sexy Adam's apple, and then landing on the devilish muscle that she should be looking at most.

"The tail is such a private part; now that it has taken human form, how can it be exposed so casually? If the Beauty King really wants to see it, why don't we find a place where there are no other people around?"

As she spoke, she chuckled, her narrow, fox-like eyes revealing a hint of allure, which, combined with the appearance of a female entrepreneur, made her look extremely eerie.

Pig-Head frowned as he looked at it, completely losing interest in bra sizes larger than D for the first time.

Tang Xuanci had neither interest nor the spinach, and was too lazy to waste words:

"These two apprentices of mine are no different from my own sons. Just tell me directly, what do you want from me?"

The old witch glanced at the monkey lurking in mid-air, her smile froze, and she sighed:

"I naturally want to plead for those two audacious godsons..."

"Actually, I advised them long ago not to be enemies with you and your master, and I suppose they already know how dangerous it is."

"If we can be lenient this time, I can take the initiative to give up Pingdingshan and ask them to withdraw from the territory of Azhou and never set foot there again."

"Furthermore, regarding your recruitment of demon cultivators, I dare not speak for the Black Fox lineage of Wanzishan, but the fox clan around Yalongshan will be friends of the Holy Monk from now on."

Holy crap, they're abandoning Pingdingshan? Are they serious or fake?
Tang Xuanci was genuinely moved by these words, but he showed no sign of it on his face, and said with righteous indignation:

"What do you mean by giving up Pingdingshan? Giving it to me?"

"Golden Horn and Silver Horn have violated the heavenly rules, so their shares and property should naturally be confiscated or auctioned off as appropriate."

"I am a celestial being, a cadre of the Heavenly Court. Which cadre wouldn't withstand such a test?!"
"Furthermore, when companies in Azhou recruit fox spirits to work in their factories, they are providing them with a job and a livelihood. They should be grateful to Azhou and thank the Heavenly Court."

"Do you expect me to beg them to come? Let me tell you, if the fox demons don't come, plenty of bull demons and horse demons will fight tooth and nail to get here!"
