Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

Buddhism and Taoism are not a monolithic entity! Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue, and wherever there is intrigue, there are various factions.

"Oh! I understand. Go ahead! Tell your older brother that I am the Great God Wutian."

"Yes, I've got it! May I ask where the Great God Wutian will take the Great Sage next?" The yellow-robed rich man bowed to Luo De and asked.

"Our next stop is the Flaming Mountain, where we'll lend a hand. Sun Wukong's elder brother, the Bull Demon King, will also retrieve his innate spiritual essence and dharma body from there," Rod said.

"Flaming Mountain. If you'd listen to my advice, after you cross Yellow Wind Ridge, you should go to Little Western Paradise! It's said that Sun Wukong's junior brother, Pigsy, has already set off for Little Western Paradise to search for him. The Great Sage is furious. If you go, you might run into him," the yellow-robed rich man said.

The Second Master's orders couldn't be ignored. The chosen one's route was planned; he had to go to Little Western Paradise first, then to the Spider Cave, and finally to the Flaming Mountain. The order couldn't be disrupted.

"Oh! You mean Pigsy has also appeared? And he's in Little Western Paradise," Rod said.

Xiao Xitian must be Huangmei Laoguai, right? This is Maitreya Buddha's disciple.

“Sir, you should know that Pigsy’s skills are indeed not that great. He can deal with some ordinary demon kings, but if it comes to that one who has ascended to Little Western Paradise, let alone the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha, he could even handle the Golden Dragon Lord.” The yellow-robed rich man said.

If Pigsy were to go to Little Western Paradise alone, that pig would be doomed, with no chance of survival.

"Alright, I understand. I'll pass this on to Sun Wukong. If you have nothing else to do, you can go now!" Rod nodded and said.

"Alright! There's one last thing I need to tell the Great Sage: tell him that my eldest brother, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, is waiting for him inside the Pagoda."

"If he can reclaim all his innate talents, he must come to the Little Western Paradise Pagoda." After saying this, the yellow-robed rich man bowed to Luo De again and then disappeared in a gust of yellow wind.

Rod smiled and threw the Wind-Fixing Pearl into the battlefield. At this moment, the Yellow-Robed Sable had already unleashed his Samadhi Wind. Just as Sun Wukong was about to be blown away, the Wind-Fixing Pearl suddenly appeared and directly stopped the yellow sand in the sky.

"Hahaha! Yellow-haired weasel, did you see that? This time, even the heavens are on my side," Wukong said with a cold laugh.

Without the divine skill of the Three Flavors Divine Wind, you yellow-skinned weasel are definitely no match for me, Old Sun. I will definitely take you down within ten moves.

"How is this possible? Why is this treasure here? That old thief, I cut off his head, why, why is he still going to oppose me?" Huang Feng Dasheng immediately showed an incredulous expression.

Damn it, to make sure I kill him, to make sure I kill that hypocritical master.

He cut off the other man's entire head. Couldn't that kill him?

"Heavens! Heavens! Haha, this is the will of Heaven, this is the will of Heaven, kill!" The Great Sage Yellow Wind let out a shrill scream.

Wielding his steel fork, he charged towards Sun Wukong without hesitation, fighting with a reckless abandon, even throwing the Buddha head in his hand at Wukong.

"Fine, fine, you're not sober right now, but I, Old Sun, will beat you awake." The monkey snorted coldly, waving his iron cudgel and striking at the Yellow Wind Great Sage's head.

After several moves, the two finally decided the winner. The Great Sage Huang Feng was knocked to the ground by Sun Wukong and knelt down, panting heavily.

"Since I've already lost, I have nothing more to say. Whether it's the chosen one or Sun Wukong, I don't care anymore. Go ahead and do it!" Huang Feng Dasheng seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and spoke.

“I, Old Sun, have no intention of killing you. You are quite a talent. I respect you as a man, so I will spare your life and even take you with me to do something great. Are you willing to come along?” Sun Wukong stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the Yellow Wind Great Sage, and asked.

"Hahaha! To accomplish something great? Impossible, impossible! I've failed, we've all failed. There's no hope. The highest beings in the world are gods and Buddhas," said the Great Sage Huang Feng.

Clang, clang, clang! Just then, the sound of a three-stringed zither rang out, and a headless monk wearing Buddhist beads suddenly appeared playing the zither.

"I never expected it, I never expected it, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven has actually been resurrected! You wretched creature, you stole the Great Sage's potential."

Having learned Erlang Shen's magic, he has now even taken my head. I must thank the Great Sage for retrieving this humble monk's head." After saying this, Lingji Bodhisattva transformed back into his true form, intending to take his head, but at that moment, an iron rod stood before him.

"Old monk, wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

"Great Sage, please speak."

"Back then, were you the one who turned all the people of the Kingdom of Sihali into rat demons? And were you the one who created these fleshy Buddha heads at Huangfeng Ridge?" Sun Wukong asked through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha! Amitabha, Great Sage is joking. How could a monk, who is compassionate, do such an evil thing?"

"All of this was done by my wretched disciple; it has nothing to do with me," said Bodhisattva Lingji with a smile.

Azeroth stared in astonishment at the headless monk before him, then leaned close to Rhodes' ear and asked:

"Are you kidding me? How can he talk like that? Can he talk without a head? Can he live without a head?"

“He must have used a spell or some other magic, but since this mythical world has no head, it is indeed possible to live there,” Rhodes said.

"Hahaha! Everyone thinks I did it! Why would I do it, Master? Why would I do it?" Huang Feng Dasheng asked with a bitter laugh.

“You wretched child, how could your master know why you would do such a heinous thing!” said Bodhisattva Lingji.

"You old man, you are the most shameless person in the entire Ling Mountain."

This fleshy Buddha head is your head, and you still dare to say it has nothing to do with you?

"Turning all the people in the city into rat demons—if this yellow-haired weasel really has such an ability, then I, Old Sun, wouldn't have dared to provoke him back then." Sun Wukong snorted coldly.

“Great Sage, everything has been arranged by Buddha. Now that you have come back to life, do you want to rebel against Heaven again?” Bodhisattva Lingji asked.

According to the Buddha, the monkey should be completely dead. Even if a new Sun Wukong is born, he will become his Buddhist disciple and obediently wear the golden headband. How come there is a change now?

Sun Wukong, wielding his iron cudgel, pulled the Yellow Wind Great Sage to his feet.

"Huang Feng, if you're still a man, get up and join me, Old Sun, to kill this harmful old monk," Sun Wukong said.

Seeing this, the Great Sage Yellow Wind gritted his teeth, grabbed his steel fork, and forced himself to stand up.

"Since the Great Sage wants to cause trouble, then I'll go along with him. It's just a matter of dying!"

"Hahaha! Since that's the case, then I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Buddha, you monkey, and put the golden headband back on you. I, uh uh!" The headless monk suddenly froze for a moment, then fell to the ground and fell silent.

A powerful aura of death enveloped him, and in an instant, it completely extinguished all his life force.

No matter what Bodhisattva status, golden body, or relics are, they are useless. This is the purest death energy, the most powerful death force.

"Old monk, you talk too much."

Chapter 420 Subduing Huang Feng, Heading to Little Western Heaven, Buddhist and Taoist Techniques

Luo pointed a finger at Lingji Bodhisattva's back, killing him completely. The death energy destroyed his soul and severed all life force.

The powerful beings in this world are indeed formidable. Even if their heads are cut off, their death power still has a dual effect on both the body and the soul.

The god who controls death is that powerful.

Everyone present was stunned. Who could have imagined that the Bodhisattva of Mount Ling would die so easily, killed by this great supernatural being with a single finger?

"Hahaha! He's dead! Lingji, you scoundrel! Lingji, you villain! You're dead! You're actually dead! Hahaha, good riddance! Good riddance!" Of all the people present, none was happier than the Great Sage Huang Feng.

He was terribly harmed by this Bodhisattva Lingji in his life. He originally wanted to protect a mortal land and only wanted to find a safe haven for the rat demons under his command.

Unexpectedly, he was framed by the other party in various ways. Even after becoming the other party's disciple, they never let him go, turning him into a monster.

"My goodness! Lord Wutian is truly amazing. This is a Bodhisattva from Mount Ling!"

Even if his cultivation was not as high as Guanyin Bodhisattva's, he was still a Bodhisattva, and yet he was killed with a single finger! The horse-headed man said.

Even the stone monkey Sun Wukong was extremely surprised at this moment. He had suffered a great loss when facing the Bodhisattva of Mount Ling. For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva could have captured him in an instant.

How exactly was Lingji Bodhisattva killed? Even though Old Sun couldn't figure it out at all, despite his Fiery Eyes of Truth no longer being there.

But the monkey still had sharp eyesight, yet it couldn't figure out how the Bodhisattva had been killed.

"Huang Feng, are you willing to follow me?" Rod turned to look at Huang Feng and asked.

"Huang Feng! I, Old Sun, am telling you about this person, who is called the Great God Wutian, a person of great supernatural powers."

"Following him will only bring benefits, not harm. I, Old Sun, was saved by this great god. You should think carefully." Sun Wukong immediately came to Huang Feng Dasheng and said.

"Hahaha! It seems that the Great God Wutian is indeed going to do something big."

"I am honored by the high regard of the Great God Wutian! Though I am not talented, I am willing to follow the Great God Wutian and serve as his vanguard." The Great Sage Huangfeng said with a hearty laugh.

“A wise choice, stand up and speak!” Rod pointed and a stream of life energy was injected directly into the body of the Yellow Wind Great Sage. He could see that the yellow-haired weasel had been tortured terribly.

He has very little life essence left in his body, and if it is not replenished, he could die at any moment.

In order to refine Sun Wukong's innate energy, he forcibly activated the Yellow Wind Formation for over a hundred years, which greatly consumed him, or rather, he also suffered some losses while at Mount Ling and with Bodhisattva Lingji.

With the infusion of vital energy, the Great Sage Huang Feng's condition improved at a visible speed. His originally frail and even somewhat hunched figure immediately became upright and tall, and his whole body looked more robust.

"Many thanks to the Great God Wutian for his help," said Huang Feng, kneeling before Luo De.

He was indeed a great master; he merely pointed at himself, and his life began to recover, even the lifespan he had lost began to return.

He originally thought he would live for another hundred years or so at most, but in his current state, he could live for at least another thousand years.

“Hmm! The creatures here shouldn’t suffer like this. Go and gather all the humans who have turned into rat demons and their offspring. I will turn them back into humans. As for those who were originally rat demons, they don’t need to come,” Rhodes said.

"Great God Wutian, you are merciful! Great God Wutian, you are so kind! The entire nation of Daishari thanks you!" The old king burst into tears and said.

More than 500 years, a full 500 years!

The people of their nation were transformed from humans into rats by Lingji, and even gave birth to countless offspring, all of whom were rat demons. Today, they can finally break free from this curse.

"The people of the city are deeply grateful!" said Huang Feng, kneeling on the ground.

He owes the people of this place the most. Because of him, the people of this place were punished by the gods and Buddhas in heaven, and as a result, they became this inhuman, ghostly, and demonic state.

For hundreds of years, he has been filled with self-reproach, constantly fantasizing about refining Sun Wukong's inner energy, thereby gaining great supernatural powers and magic to break the curse.

Unexpectedly, my wish has finally come true today.

After the Great Sage Huangfeng appeared, all the demons in Huangfeng Ridge quieted down and were reintegrated by the Great Sage Huangfeng.

The rat demons, who were originally from the demon race, naturally returned to the command of the Great Sage Yellow Wind. Some of the rat demons who were once human came, but some did not.

"Great God Wutian, the part of those who did not come are all descendants of the former citizens of the Shalli. Although we have all been turned into rat demons."

But very few people are truly capable of cultivation; most have long since died and entered the cycle of reincarnation. Most of the citizens of the Kingdom of Sihari were born as rat demons, and this has been the case for over a dozen generations.” The Sand King knelt before Rhodes and spoke.

For hundreds of years, they have been rat demons since birth, and even their parents and grandparents were rat demons. Suddenly turning them into humans is not much different from when the Bodhisattva Lingji turned humans into rats.

These people, who were transformed into rat demons, no longer wish to revert to human form.

“Great God Wutian, since that’s the case, let them continue to be rat demons. I will lead them. As long as I, Huang Feng, live, I will lead them.” Great Sage Huang Feng said.

Rhodes nodded, pointed downwards, and divine power enveloped all the rat demons who wanted to become human. Then, he used immense magic to remove their demonic forms and turn them back into humans.

This also includes the eldest son of the old king, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Shalli, who has gone completely insane.

"I...I've turned back." The eldest prince, who had lived in a daze for hundreds of years, looked at himself, who had turned back into a human, and said in disbelief.

“My son, for hundreds of years, you have become like this. For hundreds of years, we have finally returned to normal.” The old king rushed to his eldest son and said.

“Brother is back, everyone’s back, we’ve all turned back to normal,” the somewhat mentally challenged second son said.

"Hahaha! The five-hundred-year curse has finally been lifted."

After resolving the issues concerning the citizens of the Kingdom of Sharri, Rhodes used his life essence to restore the Stone Mother and allow her to manage the stone spirits within the mountains.
