The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 400 Don’t leave
After agreeing to subdue the nine-headed lion first thing tomorrow morning.

The rest, naturally, was drinking and eating meat.

They made a ruckus until midnight, and everyone got drunk.

That's when things calmed down.

The next morning, Li Jingxiao and Sun Wukong went to the Nine-Bend Cave early.

Sun Wukong descended from the clouds and landed outside the cave, shouting and cursing.

The monkey's ability to curse is certainly not as dirty as Pigsy's.

But when the monkey is really angered, the way it curses can be quite infuriating.

When cursing a Bodhisattva, one might say that the Bodhisattva "deserves to be without a husband for this lifetime."

When cursing the Black Bear Spirit, one should directly call the black bear a piece of charcoal from a kiln.

When scolding Princess Jade Face, he said that the Jade Faced Fox Spirit was a vile woman who used her family's wealth to bribe the Bull Demon King.

She paid money to marry him.

He also likes to refer to himself as "your maternal grandfather" all the time, which doesn't sound offensive at first glance.

But upon closer reflection, it's incredibly dirty.

When Sun Wukong scolded the Nine-Headed Lion this time, he directly called the old monster a useless person who couldn't have children.

That's why he likes to recognize the scruffy lion as his grandfather.

He also said that he became someone's ancestor but failed to properly educate his godson, so it was only right that the Yellow Lion Spirit was beaten to death.

These words struck a nerve with the Nine-Headed Lion, enraging the old monster to the point where he wanted nothing more than to tear Sun Wukong apart.

Even if Li Jingxiao reveals himself in the air and says that he is acting on the orders of Taiyi Tianzun.

When they descended to the mortal realm to capture him and bring him back to Miaoyan Palace, the old monster was only stunned for a few moments.

He gritted his teeth, looking as if he wouldn't surrender until he killed Sun Wukong.

They relentlessly pursued Sun Wukong.

It even transformed into its true form, with nine heads that occasionally used its grappling techniques.

If Sun Wukong hadn't been so fast, he would definitely have been captured by the nine-headed lion again.

However, the monkey was still being chased and dodged by the old monster, and began to regret that he had cursed so rudely.

Li Jingxiao sighed helplessly.

I had planned to give this old monster some face and let him surrender on his own and come back to Heaven with me.

Since this old monster is not listening, the only option is to take out the Haotian Mirror and shine it on the nine-headed lion.

Sun Wukong also knew that this old monster was the mount of Taiyi Tianzun.

So even though the nine-headed lion was immobilized, it didn't swing its golden cudgel to kill the old monster.

However, the monkey had been chased around in all directions and was now filled with anger.

He put away his golden cudgel, stepped forward, and swung his fist, giving the nine-headed lion a brutal beating.

After only a dozen or so punches, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but admire the nine-headed lion's skills.

He also thought that there might be a time in the future when he would need to use this old monster.

Incidentally, I also want to see if the Haotian Mirror can freeze Sun Wukong.

So, with a thought, the divine light emanating from the Haotian Mirror also illuminated Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong, who had raised his fist, was frozen in place.

Sun Wukong immediately became anxious.

He hurriedly called out, "Brother, you were wrong, you were wrong! Let go of me, Old Sun!"

Li Jingxiao smiled. It seemed that the Haotian Mirror could indeed completely restrain Sun Wukong.

I shook my wrist a few times.

The Immortal Binding Rope on his wrist transformed into a silver iron chain tens of meters long.

They descended from the sky and bound the nine-headed lion.

Li Jingxiao then put the Haotian Mirror away.

Although the nine-headed lion was bound, it secretly struggled a few times and felt that the iron chains were not particularly tight.

He immediately mistakenly thought that Li Jingxiao had deliberately left it unlocked to avoid causing him any trouble.

She felt a surge of gratitude towards Li Jingxiao. Little did she know that Li Jingxiao had already realized that his strength was still inferior to that of the Nine-Headed Lion.

The Binding Immortal Rope's ability is to bind anyone weaker than Li Jingxiao.

However, if someone is stronger than Li Jingxiao, the Binding Immortal Rope might not be able to bind the target.

Since it's highly unlikely that we can restrain the nine-headed lion, we might as well just go through the motions.

As expected, the Nine-Headed Lion felt that Li Jingxiao was giving him face, so the old monster stopped chasing after Sun Wukong.

He knelt down on the ground and transformed himself.

It transformed from an enormous nine-headed lion into an ordinary lion that is three meters long and one meter eighty feet tall.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao had a thought, and the Immortal Binding Rope transformed into a chain and flew back to his wrist.

Then he ordered the nine-headed lion to personally enter the cave and carry Tang Sanzang out, before flying back to Heaven with the nine-headed lion.

Upon entering Miaoyan Palace, as expected, they were personally greeted by Taiyi Tianzun, many Miaoyan Palace officials, and disciples of the Tianzun.

After some courtesy.

Li Jingxiao noticed that the Celestial Venerable had mentioned expressing his gratitude several times, and also saw that while the Celestial Venerable held a whisk, he was actually carrying a celestial sword on his back.

A thought suddenly crossed my mind.

When speaking to the Celestial Venerable again, he couldn't help but test him.

After a few words, the Celestial Venerable quickly understood Li Jingxiao's meaning.

He thought to himself that this kid really liked listening to people preach.

Not only did he frequently stay at the residences of Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun to listen to their lectures, but it is also said that he repeatedly begged the Jade Emperor to give him teachings.

He was also taught by the Old Mother of Lishan, Zhenyuan Daxian, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Queen Mother of the West.

Now they've set their sights on him again, which amused Taiyi Tianzun.

I was actually quite pleased with myself.

He even felt that if Li Jingxiao didn't take the opportunity to ask him to preach to him, it would be a great loss.

They simply look down on themselves, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower.

As for Li Jingxiao's desire to hear about swordsmanship, Taiyi Tianzun nodded in satisfaction.

Judging from the fact that this old man always carries a celestial sword on his back, you can tell that his skill in swordsmanship is definitely not simple.

Sure enough, Li Jingxiao's eyes lit up after only one incense stick's time.

When the Jade Emperor taught swordsmanship, proficiency increased by 100 at a time.

However, when Taiyi Tianzun teaches swordsmanship, proficiency increases by 150 at a time.

It's obvious at a glance that Taiyi Tianzun is definitely more powerful than the Jade Emperor in swordsmanship.

In just three days, his proficiency increased by 16.

The cultivation-themed version of "Sword Control Technique" has already been upgraded to Legendary (38/60).
Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes and decided to stay in Miaoyan Palace and not leave.

However, he wasn't stupid. If he wanted to continue listening to Taiyi Tianzun's sermon, his blatant cheating would only annoy people.

Even if the Celestial Venerable were willing to continue preaching, he would most likely just give a perfunctory response.

So, although Li Jingxiao refused to leave, he found an excuse to spar with the disciples of the Celestial Venerable.

While fighting to gain experience, he also diligently taught the Celestial Venerable's younger disciples martial arts.

For the disciples of Miaoyan Palace, Li Jingxiao was a truly formidable figure who could fight Yang Jian and Sun Wukong to a standstill.

In terms of martial arts alone, even Taiyi Tianzun might not be much better than Li Jingxiao.

So in just a few days, Li Jingxiao did indeed improve the martial arts skills of several of Tianzun's junior disciples.

Seeing this, Taiyi Tianzun could only sigh helplessly.

He realized to himself that he was being entangled by Li Jingxiao.

However, this also shows that Li Jingxiao is indeed insightful, which makes the Heavenly Venerable somewhat proud.

After all, Li Jingxiao was Laozi's personal disciple, so why didn't he learn swordsmanship from Laozi?

But he insisted on learning from me, an outsider.

Doesn't that mean he's even better than Lao Tzu in swordsmanship?
Although Taiyi Tianzun's face showed displeasure at this, he was secretly quite pleased.
