The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 358 Sweeping the End
As long as it can avoid the wind and smoke, the monkey is indeed confident and capable of defeating the Tai Sui even with one eye closed.

While the monkey and Sai Tai Sui were fighting, Li Jingxiao quietly passed through the wall and entered the Xie Zhi Cave in Qilin Mountain.

When they found Lady Jin Sheng, she was sitting in front of her dressing mirror, looking worried and lost in thought.

Li Jingxiao thought about it for a moment and quickly realized that it must be Sun Wukong who transformed into Sai Taisui's confidant 'Youlai Youqu' and had contact with Lady Jin Shenggong.

The woman was currently thinking about how to trick Sai Tai Sui into giving her the Purple Gold Bell.

Li Jingxiao had already seen the monkey fighting with Sai Taisui on Qilin Mountain, so he didn't waste any time.

He blew a breath on the empress and several maids, and the women quickly drifted off to sleep.

He revealed himself, walked to the Empress's side, and looked at the five-colored golden robe she was wearing.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out his hand, but his fingers had not yet touched Jin Shenggong's arm.

A burst of golden light emanated from the golden robe, and rays of light pierced through it like needles.

However, it was easily blocked by the colorful clouds and mist of Taiyi Five Smoke Garland on Li Jingxiao's body.

To personally experience the power of the radiant glow, Li Jingxiao thought for a moment and then released the defense of the multicolored clouds and smoke.

But just as the rosy light touched his fingers, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared on them.

This was blocked by a max-level Golden Bell Shield.

Li Jingxiao shook his head with amusement, realizing that he had indeed gone a bit too far in layering armor.

Once all defenses were lifted, the rosy light finally pierced Li Jingxiao's fingers.

Although I could feel the pain, it was probably due to the continuous strengthening of my physical defense brought about by the continuous upgrades of the Pure Yang Everlasting Spring Technique.

Li Jingxiao only felt a slight stinging pain.

This made Li Jingxiao realize that the five-colored golden robe wasn't as powerful as he had imagined.

However, having personally experienced what this radiant light was and how powerful it was, Li Jingxiao also gained a general understanding of the principles behind this treasure garment.

Then Li Jingxiao thought of the colorful clouds in the Ninth Heaven.

If these rays of light were collected and used as raw materials to create a brand-new Taoist robe, its defensive and protective capabilities should be upgraded by one level.

Now that Li Jingxiao had made up his mind, he naturally wouldn't waste any more time staying in the Xiezhi Cave on Qilin Mountain.

In a flash, he passed directly through the wall and appeared at the Western Heavenly Gate.

Return to the Tushita Palace and find Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

He spent a hundred jars of Immortal's Intoxication and asked Golden Horn and Silver Horn to find someone to help collect the colorful rays of light from the Nine Heavens.

Only then did they return to the Kingdom of Zhu Zi, waiting for Sun Wukong to steal the Purple Gold Bell before stepping in to save Sai Tai Sui.

Sai Tai Sui truly deserves to be called a rare, devoted person among demons.

He was repeatedly deceived by Lady Jin Sheng and handed over the Purple Gold Bell to this woman.

The Purple Gold Bell was stolen by Sun Wukong again.

It was even like when they were at Lotus Cave on Pingdingshan, deceiving the Silver Horn King.

They used monkey hair to create a fake golden bell.

Then he said that the purple-gold bell in his hand was male, while the one in Sai Tai Sui's hand was female.

Therefore, the mother's golden bell was no longer effective.

Sai Tai Sui actually believed the deception and was eventually forced to engage in close combat with Sun Wukong.

There are indeed quite a few magical treasures and supernatural powers in this world that can restrain Sun Wukong.

But there are very few people who can fight Sun Wukong in close combat without losing.

Sai Tai Sui indeed only fought Sun Wukong for forty or fifty rounds before feeling weak all over and lacking strength.

They wanted to escape back to the Xie Zhi Cave on Qilin Mountain, but they were blocked by Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing before they got very far.

The three fellow disciples surrounded Sai Tai Sui from the front and back, and Sai Tai Sui immediately panicked.

Li Jingxiao, who had been watching the spectacle from the sky, knew it was his turn to take the stage.

He quickly revealed himself and shouted at Sun Wukong.

"Great Sage, spare his life!"

Having said that, he covered a hundred miles in a single step, appearing before Sai Tai Sui, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Great Sage. This humble Taoist has come here on the orders of Guanyin Bodhisattva to capture this wicked creature and bring him back to Luojia Mountain to be punished."

"I beg the Great Sage to show mercy and spare this wretched creature's life."

The monkey pretended to greet Li Jingxiao and then politely agreed.

Upon seeing this, Sai Tai Sui quickly lay down on the ground and transformed, revealing his true form as a golden-haired Hou.

He knelt down before Li Jingxiao.

The Immortal Binding Rope on Li Jingxiao's wrist flew out and directly tied to the nostrils of the Golden-haired Hou.

He was led by Li Jingxiao to Sun Wukong.

The monkey's expression changed, realizing that Li Jingxiao wanted the Purple Gold Bell.

His eyes darted away, and he refused to return it voluntarily.

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes at the monkey. "Great Sage, if you don't hand over the Bodhisattva's things, then I will go to Luojia Mountain and report to the Bodhisattva truthfully."

"Don't blame me when the Bodhisattva recites the Tightening-Headband Mantra!"

Sun Wukong immediately cowered.

Reluctantly, he took out the Purple Gold Bell from his bosom and said with a sense of helplessness and emotion, "Brother, after you have mastered the art of weapon crafting from Laozi,..."

"Please remember to forge a powerful protective treasure for me."

Li Jingxiao laughed heartily, saying that Sun Wukong was indeed powerful.

But it seems that the only good thing he has is the Golden Cudgel.

Even the three monkey hairs that saved his life were given to him by the Bodhisattva.

Thinking about it this way, Sun Wukong's fame is truly something he earned through his own hard work.

Unfortunately, when facing top-tier experts, they are often completely countered by various magical weapons.

No wonder he was much more low-key and patient on his journey to the West than he was back then.

After Li Jingxiao took control of Sai Taisui, he did not rush to take him back to Luojia Mountain.

First, I cleared out the minor demons in the Xie Zhi Cave on Qilin Mountain and gained over 20 million experience points.

The spirit of the Grand Duke transformed into a child and flew back to the palace of the Kingdom of Zhu Zi with Sun Wukong and the Golden Saint Palace Lady.

When the king saw that his queen, whom he had been longing for, had returned, he was so excited that he rushed forward to embrace her.

The queen was so excited that she forgot she was wearing a colorful golden robe.

The moment the king touched the queen's hand, he was stung by the golden light emanating from her robes.

The queen was immediately alarmed and instinctively tried to help the king up.

But the king was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

Many ministers, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and others all looked at Sun Wukong and Li Jingxiao.

Sun Wukong looked at Li Jingxiao, only to see Li Jingxiao shrug.

"This treasure belongs to the Purple Sun Immortal. It is not only unparalleled in defense, but can also protect the body with five-colored rays of light."

That Sai Tai Sui abducted the Empress for three years, yet he could never touch her.

Upon hearing this, not only did the king show a look of surprise on his face, but the courtiers also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lady Jin Shenggong saw that Li Jingxiao, a direct disciple of Laozi, was standing up for her, she was overjoyed and grateful.

Li Jingxiao then said, "When Your Majesty was young, you unintentionally injured the offspring of the Peacock King."

When the Sai Tai Sui learned of this, he took it upon himself to descend to the mortal realm and abduct the goddess.

All this was to please the Buddha Mother. Fortunately, the True Man Ziyang happened to be there and bestowed upon the Lady this five-colored golden robe.

A few days ago, when I attended the Peach Banquet with my master, I saw the Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva said that when he came to the banquet, he learned that the wicked Sai Tai Sui had bitten through the golden lock and gone to Qilin Mountain to do evil.

That's why they asked me to come and capture that wicked child and bring him back to Luojia Mountain to be punished.
