Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 328 Second Campaign Against the Demons, Army Approaching Blackwater

Suddenly, a Buddhist-like person revealed evidence that the high-ranking generals of the Demon-Slaying Army deliberately sold out flaws to the anti-demon forces.

Tang Xuanci immediately led the Independent Army and the neutral immortals to put pressure on the Ministry of War to conduct a thorough investigation.

In the end, although they still couldn't definitively pin the blame on the commander-in-chief, they did kill several of Lu's direct subordinate generals to take the fall.

Grand Marshal Tianyou was not to blame and was dismissed and demoted. Overnight, he returned to several hundred years ago and became Grand Marshal Tianyou again, the same rank as Grand Marshal Tianpeng.

The Heavenly Palace Northern Garrison and the Northern Lower Realm Military Prefecture will be temporarily managed by the True Martial Emperor.

Meanwhile, the 70,000-strong demon-slaying army located north of Leiji Mountain, under the strong advocacy of Jiawu Divine Lord and a group of neutral immortals and gods, was all assigned to the Sandalwood Merit Heavenly King for command. They continued to cooperate with the independent army from the north, determined to quell the anti-demon rebellion in one fell swoop.

When Tang Xuanci took over the military command, he and Zhu Wuneng blocked the entrance of the Demon-Slaying Army's command tent in advance, slapping his old comrade-in-arms Tianyou in the face, and also rescued his former adopted daughter, A Yao, to his side, which was a way of venting his anger.

Immediately, he appointed him as his strategist and put him in command of 70,000 demon-slaying troops.

Finally, she put her arm around his shoulder and whispered in his large, fan-like ear:

"Ritian, don't worry."

"What you have lost, I will definitely help you get back tenfold."

"Once we take down the Heavenly Palace, I'll use the rope-tying skills from that movie yesterday to tie up the Queen Mother of the West and make her kneel before you!"

Ah this?

Zhu Wuneng was speechless and choked with emotion, then muttered:
"Damn it, that old hag who's been ridden by a thousand men, pressed down by ten thousand, and entered by a hundred million, you can have her!"

Despite the complaints, looking at the cheap master beside him, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

Tang Xuanci laughed heartily, his laughter as bright as the rising sun and as dazzling as a lotus emerging from clear water, and then he strode away.

Seven days later.

The well-trained and well-rested independent army has reorganized into 56,000 elite soldiers, divided according to the unique military science of the Three Realms—

Two tank divisions were specifically tasked with initiating the charge, holding the front lines and containing the enemy.

Three warrior divisions, mainly responsible for close combat, flanking maneuvers, and pursuit and pursuit.

One damage dealer, as the name suggests, is called an "AD" (Attack Damage) specialist.

One spell array master, as the name suggests, is abbreviated as "AP master".

One service support division.

There are also those directly under the command of the Central Army:
One artillery brigade is responsible for long-range bombing using mortars, Apache helicopters, and rocket launchers.

One electronic reconnaissance brigade uses a combination of esoteric technologies, such as drones, radar, and long-range surveillance, to conduct remote reconnaissance of enemy positions.

A group of assassins specializes in cutting off enemy backlines, disrupting their supplies, or carrying out decapitation strikes.

One propaganda company, as the name suggests, is responsible for work related to culture and media.

One Tang-character camp, mainly composed of the Imperial Guards of the Women's Kingdom and demons from the Poisonous Enemy Group, is responsible for the personal protection of the Heavenly King Tang.

With heads held high and chests puffed out!
They set off again toward the Blackwater River, embarking on their second westward expedition!

Upon hearing the devastating news, the anti-demon recalled that just a few months ago, their forces of 400,000 men had surrounded and annihilated the isolated and helpless Independent Army, yet they still failed to win.

Now, seeing that man make a comeback, most of the demon soldiers stationed in the Blackwater River are terrified and have already given up before the battle even begins.

The Independent Army, on the other hand, was completely different. Especially General Sun Wukong, whose ears were already itching for the staff, and who couldn't wait to put his newly mastered Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies dimensional reduction attack technique into practical training to improve his proficiency!

……

As the Independent Army advanced to the Blackwater River, a group of aquatic creatures from the Western Sea had been waiting for them for a long time.

It turns out that the Jinghe Dragon King was related to the West Sea Dragon King by marriage, being his brother-in-law, while the little alligator dragon in the Blackwater River was one of his nephews.

Firstly, they are related by marriage.

Secondly, this rebellious nephew was aware of the unspoken financial entanglements between him and his brother-in-law, and not long ago, he used this as leverage to "borrow" some benefits from him.

Therefore, the old Dragon King of the West Sea has been living in constant fear lately.

However, a rumor that Princess Wansheng maliciously posted on Douyin not long ago suddenly entered the Dragon Palace, saying that the Third Princess of the West Sea was not only ridden by the Holy Monk during her transformation into a dragon horse, but also ridden by the Holy Monk.

This gave the old Dragon King a flash of inspiration, and he saw hope in properly resolving the crisis.

So he sent his son, Prince Moang, hoping to use his daughter's connections to persuade the Tang Heavenly King to temporarily halt the attack by the Independent Army, giving the Dragon Palace a chance to persuade the evil dragon to surrender.

Nailong, who was staying in the propaganda unit to learn from experience, naturally denied it outright, which made his older brother and father disbelieve him! He refused to spread the word!

Tang Xuanci was amused, and outwardly followed her words to clarify... no, to cover up the truth.

But behind his back, he secretly hinted and clarified the lie, saying that if Ao Lingzhen really married him, then the affairs of the West Sea Dragon Clan would naturally also be his affairs.

The old Dragon King was overjoyed upon hearing the news.

After all, that poor monk who went on his pilgrimage to the West is no longer the same as before. Just based on his reputation and celestial position, neither the Buddhist nor Taoist sects would openly take action against him.

Moreover, it is clear to everyone that once the anti-demon campaign is successfully quelled, Tang Tianwang will undoubtedly be credited with the greatest merit, and his path to immortality will be immeasurable.

Marrying your daughter to him is better than marrying her to that old geezer, the Immortal Emperor.
So, the old Dragon King completely disregarded his daughter's outward humiliation and resentment, and ignored her true feelings. He even refused the betrothal gifts and unilaterally ordered the Dragon Palace to announce the good news, saying:

The Third Princess of the West Sea Dragon Palace is already engaged to the Holy Monk. Once the chaos in the West is quelled and the Celestial Court approves, a date will be chosen for her to marry him.

This news instantly became a trending topic, making female netizens extremely envious. They couldn't help but secretly wish they had been guarding the Jade Gate Pass back then, and had become white oxen, white sheep, or white eagles carrying the holy monk on his journey to retrieve the scriptures!
Of course, this news also caused a great uproar in Tang Xuanci's backyard, but he was already used to it and didn't care what happened.

Seeing that his father-in-law was so decisive and ruthless, Tang Xuanci immediately acted according to his brother-in-law's plan, putting great pressure on the Blackwater River, but not launching a full-scale attack for the time being.

He was also given the opportunity to meet the little alligator dragon alone, persuade it to surrender, and was given very generous terms of pardon.

However, the little alligator dragon turned out to be a tough guy. Not only did it refuse to surrender, but it also started fighting with its cousin who was cursing it as a "wicked creature".

One wielded a bamboo-jointed demonic whip, while the other held a three-sided divine tablet. They fought from human form to dragon form, battling for thirty rounds without a clear victor.

Finally, seeing that reinforcements were arriving, the little alligator dragon quickly turned around and hid back in the river formation.

Prince Moang informed Tang Xuanci that it refused to surrender.

Upon hearing this, General Wukong flew into a rage and, unable to contain himself any longer, decided to rush out and start a fight, as he had been holding his staff for days.

Seeing the worried look on his brother-in-law's face, Tang Xuanci smiled and said:

"Don't worry, since it won't take the soft approach, we'll just shove the hard one into its mouth. I'm in charge of this battlefield, and anything that's detrimental to our in-laws won't leak out."

After saying this, he gave an order and, according to the Plan B that Beaker had already decided, launched a fierce attack on the Blackwater River from three directions.
