Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Sun Wukong secretly plucked a monkey hair, transformed it into his own appearance, and fought against Kui Mulang and the Giant Spirit God with his golden cudgel, while his true self quietly shrank and burrowed underground.

When the half-Bodhisattva Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Demon used the same trick again, once again using the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape underground) technique to prepare for a sneak attack.

Sun Wukong, disguised as an earthworm, suddenly appeared and punched the half-decapitated Guanyin's head before it could react.

The half-bodied Guanyin Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Demon's physical body instantly died out. Its soul tried to escape, but Sun Wukong opened his mouth and swallowed it. After chewing it a few times, he crushed its soul and swallowed it into his stomach.

The golden-nosed, white-haired rat spirit has completely perished.

The moment the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Demon perished, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, immediately sensed it. His face was filled with grief and uncontrollable rage.

This golden-nosed, white-haired rat spirit, nicknamed Half-Bodhisattva, does not mean that her cultivation is half that of Guanyin of the South Sea. Rather, it refers to the fact that her human form is extremely similar to Guanyin, only her temperament is different. She is merely a shell of Guanyin, hence the name Half-Bodhisattva.

Li Jing adopted her as his goddaughter, but she was entrusted by Guanyin of the South Sea. Legend has it that Guanyin of the South Sea transformed into a woman and used her physical body to give alms to the world. She married a mountain demon named Yufu in an attempt to convert him to Buddhism. It is unknown how many people converted in the end, but after that, a rat spirit with an appearance that was extremely similar to Guanyin of the South Sea appeared in the Three Realms.

Li Jing was a clever man. After a little thought, he guessed the relationship between the rat spirit and Guanyin of the South Sea. That's why, as the dignified Heavenly King, he took the rat spirit from the mortal world as his adopted daughter.

Now that he sensed the death of the rat spirit, how could Liu Qing not be filled with panic and fear? If Guanyin of the South Sea knew, wouldn't she blame him for not taking good care of her daughter?

Li Jing glared fiercely at the scene below, his heart already filled with rage and fear. Now, caught in a deadly predicament, he made a foolish move.

"Nezha, I command you to go quickly and skin that demon monkey alive to comfort your little sister's spirit in heaven."

Nezha was taken aback. Didn't they just say they were stalling for time and waiting for the Jade Emperor to summon Erlang Shen?

If I go down there, wouldn't I be expanding my occupation and losing the plan to buy time?

Besides, you old thief, you only lost a mere adopted daughter, yet you send my own son to fight Sun Wukong? That Sun Wukong is no weakling; I could skin him alive and pull out his tendons.
You treat outsiders better than your own son, you old scoundrel. Don't think I can't guess; you're having an affair with that rat demon.

Thinking of this, the nameless fire deep in Nezha's heart was rekindled, and he gripped the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand tighter and tighter, the tip of the spear exuding a murderous aura.

Li Jing raised the exquisite pagoda in his left hand and looked at Nezha with a gloomy expression: "You unfilial son, how dare you disobey me?"

This exquisite pagoda was bestowed by the ancient Buddha Dipankara. Inside the pagoda are the bones and flesh that Nezha cut off when he was young. Although Nezha's soul later resided in a lotus incarnation, the bones and flesh of his original body still had a restraining effect on him.

The exquisite pagoda contains his own flesh and blood from when he was born. If Li Jing controls the exquisite pagoda, he can command Nezha and make Nezha obey.

Otherwise, given Nezha's unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial nature, he would have already killed Li Jing with a single spear thrust.

"The Heavenly King has given the order, and Nezha dares not disobey."

Nezha gritted his teeth and squeezed out each word, then glared fiercely at the Tongguan Pass, determined to vent the pent-up frustration in his heart.

Nezha immediately rode on his Wind and Fire Wheels, carried the Universe Ring on his back, wrapped his arms with the Hun Tian Ling, and carried the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, Golden Brick, Yin Yang Sword and other spiritual treasures in his treasure pouch at his waist. Holding the Fire-Tipped Spear, he charged forward with murderous intent.

"You impudent monkey, prepare to die—"

The great god Nezha, riding on his Wind Fire Wheels, instantly appeared in front of Sun Wukong and thrust his spear at his face.

Sun Wukong's eyes sharpened, and he quickly raised his golden cudgel to block. Just as he blocked Nezha's fire-tipped spear, he saw the Universe Ring spinning rapidly, heading straight for him. Sun Wukong was immediately alarmed and quickly dodged, but before he could regain his footing, the Hun Tian Ling wrapped around him, obscuring the sky.

Sun Wukong was overwhelmed by a series of magical attacks and was momentarily suppressed by Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas.

Sun Wukong cursed inwardly at the Chan Sect's Taiyi Zhenren, thinking, "He's really good to his disciple, giving him so many magical treasures. I, Old Sun, have worked hard for half my life and only managed to snatch a golden cudgel."

Seeing Nezha's current combat power, Sun Wukong suddenly realized that when he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Great God Nezha of the Three Altars and Seas must have received instructions to secretly hold back. Now, with his cultivation level bursting out, he even has the cultivation of the Undying Realm, and with many spiritual treasures in his hands, he has gained the upper hand in combat power for a time.

Sun Wukong, the strongest fighter, was entangled by Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas. Only Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, the Many-Eyed Monster, and the Scorpion Demon remained on their side. Facing Kui Mulang, who could fight Sun Wukong for hundreds of rounds, the old Heavenly War God Julingshen, and Princess Longji of the Spirit Treasure Treasury, the four of them were forced to retreat step by step and were about to be defeated, captured, or killed.

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, on the Tongguan city wall, was completely out of control. Seeing that his side had the upper hand and influenced by the murderous aura, he completely forgot his earlier plan to stall for time.

"Wang Lingguan, come down with me and capture and kill all the thieves below!"

Wang Lingguan is the head of the five hundred spirit officials in the Lingxiao Palace. He is also known as the Huaguang Emperor and is popularly called the Three-Eyed Horse King. He has a steel whip in his hand and a third eye between his eyebrows, which intimidates all villains in the three realms. Everyone who hears his name turns pale with fear.

Wang Lingguan possessed the cultivation of an immortal being and countless supernatural powers, making him one of the most powerful warriors in Heaven. When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in Heaven, Wang Lingguan, unaware that it was all an act, fought Sun Wukong to a standstill. Later, the Jade Emperor informed him, and only then did he spare Sun Wukong's life. Otherwise, Wang Lingguan alone could have prevented Sun Wukong from causing chaos in Heaven, not to mention his five hundred lieutenant spirit officials. If they had all attacked at once, Sun Wukong would have been captured and killed long ago.

However, although Wang Lingguan was extremely powerful in battle, he was not good at commanding troops. Therefore, when he came down to the mortal world this time, the Jade Emperor ordered him to obey the orders of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Now that Li Jing had lost his temper, he ordered Wang Lingguan to fight alongside him. Although Wang Lingguan knew it was inappropriate, he could not disobey the military order and could only follow Li Jing, wielding a steel whip as they charged out of the city.

Wen Zhong glanced at Shen Gongbao, who smiled wryly and spread his hands, saying telepathically, "Grand Tutor, this time it's not because of some minor reason, but because they went down there themselves."

Wen Zhong frowned: "We originally planned to send the heads over in batches, but now they've all rushed over at once. Oh well, since things have come to this, let's inform our Master Uncle and let him make arrangements."

"It's alright, they're just a few petty tyrants, they can't cause any trouble."

Liu Qing replied to Wen Zhong telepathically, saying that although he focused most of his energy on refining the Golden Bell and the Human Seed Bag, he was not ignoring the outside world.

"Bull Demon King, Flood Dragon Demon King, you six go down and help Sun Wukong capture and kill all the trusted gods of the Jade Emperor."

"I will obey the orders of my master, Uncle."

The Bull Demon King grinned silently, having watched from the clouds for a long time, his hands itching to join in.

Li Jing was only at the late stage of the Divine Realm. He was only able to seize the position of Heavenly King in the Heavenly Court by relying on the Lingling Pagoda. In reality, his methods were quite mediocre.

Wang Lingguan is troublesome, but he is only at the Undying Realm. His combat power is limited to Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, and the other six guardians. Although none of them are as strong as him, it is not difficult for the two of them to capture him together.

Just as Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and Wang Lingguan descended from the clouds, several large demons leaped up from the clouds and blocked their way.

"Li Jing, Wang E, where do you two think you're going? I, Old Niu, am coming to get you!"

This Wang Lingguan's original name was Wang E. Later, he was enlightened by Master Sa and changed his name to Wang Shan. However, powerful beings in the Three Realms, such as the Bull Demon King, who knew his origins, all called him Wang E.

Wang Lingguan was most annoyed by people calling him "Wang the Evil." Upon hearing the Bull Demon King shout this, he immediately flew into a rage, raised his whip, and struck him on the head, shouting, "You wretched creature, you do evil and not good, you deserve to die!"

The Bull Demon King was prepared. He raised his iron cudgel to block the whip, and suddenly the Lion Camel King sprang out from the side, wielding a large knife, and slashed at Wang Lingguan.

Meanwhile, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was also surrounded and being beaten by the two monkey demons, Yu Rong King and Macaque King.

Of the six guardians dispatched by Liu Qing, only four were enough to hold off Li Jing and Wang Lingguan. The remaining two demon kings, Jiao Mo Wang and Peng Mo Wang, exchanged a glance, instantly understood each other's thoughts, and immediately jumped to Zhu Bajie's side to help.

With the addition of fresh blood and powerful fighters, the pressure on the previously suppressed group immediately eased considerably.

The Jiao Demon King and the Peng Demon King entangled the Giant Spirit God and Kui Mulang, while Pigsy and his companions focused their efforts on attacking Princess Longji and the Herbivore Star Lord.

In just a few rounds, the weak and vulnerable Jade Rabbit Spirit, who only had a pestle for self-defense, was killed by Sha Wujing with a single blow from his staff.

"Hey, hey, you blockhead! Such a beautiful woman, you cruelly destroyed her. What a shameless face you have, you don't understand romance at all. You might as well keep her to warm your feet!"

Pigsy watched as the Herbivore God was beaten to death, revealing his true form as a white-haired rabbit, and looked on with regret.

Sha Wujing glanced coldly at Zhu Bajie without answering. In his heart, apart from the Queen Mother, no woman in the world was worthy of his affection.

After killing the Herbivore Star Lord, only Princess Longji remained, relying on her many magical treasures to struggle against the combined attacks of Pigsy, Sandy, the Scorpion Demon, and the Many-Eyed Monster.

Princess Longji was still useful, so Liu Qing didn't want to kill her. He secretly summoned four spider girls to spit out spider silk and form a net to trap Lingbao. The scorpion demon quickly stepped forward, knocked her unconscious, and sent her to Master Liu Qing's small world to be suppressed for the time being.

As for its many spiritual treasures, they all belonged to Liu Qing. The Gathering Immortal Banner, a high-grade innate spiritual treasure specifically for defense, was something Liu Qing coveted.

Although protected by numerous magical treasures, his cultivation was ultimately too shallow. Faced with Spider Girl's web of spider silk, he was unable to unleash the full power of the magical treasures and was thus trapped.

If it were anyone else wielding so many magical treasures, Spider Girl wouldn't have been able to trap them so easily.

Others were wary of Princess Longji's background and dared not harm her severely; otherwise, with all her magical treasures, she would have been like a child carrying gold, swaggering through the streets, and would have been killed and robbed long ago. (End of Chapter)
