Journey to the West: Starting with the True Lord of the Pure Land

Upon hearing this, Wu Huan Tai Sui stopped smiling, turned his head to stare at the black iron cage, and hissed twice.

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Golden Ring King, and he continued:

"To eat her directly would not be as effective as refining her into a precious elixir."

But this rat demon is imbued with Buddhist power; its essence, blood, bones, and flesh are all highly nourishing, enough to help us cultivate our spiritual power and solidify our demonic arts.

"Eating her will have an immediate effect. Even if the heavenly soldiers bring in more reinforcements, my brother's power will greatly increase, and he will have even more confidence."

Upon hearing this, Wu Huan Tai Sui's ferocious face instantly blossomed into a terrifying smile, and he hissed as he laughed:

"Brother's words are exactly what I was thinking!"

This little wench has a sharp tongue and dared to insult us before. I've long wanted to devour her flesh and drink her blood!

Instead of waiting agonizingly for the pill to be refined, why not steam it now, dip it in minced garlic and salt, and let us brothers feast on it? Wouldn't that be delightful?

He stared greedily at the white figure in the cage, as if he could already smell the aroma of flesh and blood imbued with Buddhist power and spiritual energy.

Seeing his brother's agreement, King Jinhuan nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to shout at a blue-faced little demon below:

"Did you hear that? Hurry up and get ready!"

They gathered up the largest black iron cauldron, placed it in the center of the cave, prepared plenty of firewood, and lit a fierce fire!

Go to the cold pool behind the mountain and fetch some yin water. Since the body, imbued with Buddhist power, is too fiery, it needs to be cooked in a way that balances yin and yang to preserve its nourishing properties!

The little demon readily agreed and scrambled off to make arrangements.

Not long after.

Several burly demon soldiers then laboriously carried over a massive, dark cauldron, about ten feet in diameter, with three legs and two handles, and placed it in the center of the cave with a loud thud.

Then a little demon brought a large pile of shiny black firewood and placed it under the cauldron.

A clever little demon approached with a tinderbox and blew on it.

A ghostly green flame suddenly shot up, licking the bottom of the cauldron and casting eerie shadows throughout the cave.

In an instant, steam rose from the cave, mingling with the crackling of burning firewood and the bubbling of boiling soup, adding to the eerie chaos.

Inside the cage, Bai Susu watched all of this, feeling a chill run from her feet to the top of her head, making her limbs and bones stiff and cold.

The last shred of hope that arose from the arrival of the heavenly soldiers and generals has now been shattered by the sight before them.

She had originally hoped that renowned celestial deities like Li Tianwang and Nezha would quickly capture and kill the two demons and rescue her.

At worst, it could cause chaos in the cave, giving her an opportunity to take advantage.

But now...

Judging from the tone of these two scoundrels, even Li Jing and his son failed to gain the upper hand and were instead defeated by their supernatural abilities!

Thinking of this, Bai Susu felt even colder.

Even someone as powerful as Nezha couldn't do anything to these two long snakes; his own magical powers were sealed, and he was trapped in an iron cage.

Isn't it just like fish on a chopping board, left to be slaughtered at will?

Looking at the blazing green flames, and thinking that he would soon be thrown into that giant cauldron...

Bai Susu trembled uncontrollably, all color draining from her delicate face, leaving only boundless fear and despair.

She instinctively curled up even tighter, muttering to herself, but couldn't even utter a complete curse.

Before long, the water in the cauldron was boiling like raging waves, making a bubbling sound.

Seeing that the time was right, King Golden Ring abruptly stood up, pointed at the black iron cage, and said in an icy voice:

"Open that cage for me! Skin and clean that thieving rat spirit, and throw it into the cauldron!"

The skin, flesh, tendons, and bones must be thoroughly cooked until tender, and the marrow must also be boiled to extract its juice.

The soup... was then shared among the children, so that they too might absorb some of the Buddhist spirit and blessings!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Second King!"

Upon hearing this, the group of lesser demons' eyes lit up with excitement, and they were so happy that they scratched their ears and cheeks.

Carrying the unlocking talisman and sharp blade, they rushed to the black iron cage and began to frantically try to unlock it.

Bai Susu was shocked and furious, her pale face suddenly flushed with shame and anger.

"You damned worms! You rotten-hearted, stinking devils! How dare you touch me, your grandma?"

Anyone who dares to harm a single hair on my head will be struck by heavenly lightning and earth-shattering fire, and will never be reincarnated!

She struggled desperately in the cage, but her magic was sealed and the black iron cage was exceptionally sturdy, so how could she break free?

It was all in vain.

"Damn it! He's about to die and he still dares to talk back!"

Wu Huan Tai Sui was already resentful of Bai Su Su's insults, and seeing that she still refused to back down, his anger flared up instantly.

He kicked aside the little demon blocking his way and strode to the black iron cage.

A pair of snake-like eyes glared fiercely at Bai Susu, and she snarled:

"You little slut! I've wanted to tear your foul mouth apart for a long time!"

"Today, I'll start by using your tongue as a drinking snack!"

As he spoke, his large hand, covered in black scales and with sharp, hook-like nails, slipped through the gaps in the cage bars, carrying a stench, and headed straight for Bai Susu's cheek!

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were created, suddenly exploded from outside the cave, penetrating straight into the mountainside!

The entire Wujin Cave trembled violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over, and the dust and gravel accumulated over countless years on the ceiling poured down like rain!

The cave was full of monsters, from the Black Ring Tai Sui who was about to make a move to the Golden Ring King who sat serenely.

Or perhaps those little demons with bared teeth and claws were all thrown about by the huge tremor, staggering and falling.

In an instant, shouts of surprise and angry curses erupted, and chaos ensued.

The boiling cauldron was churning and splashing water, scalding several nearby demons who screamed in pain.

King Jinhuan grabbed the trembling stone seat, his vertical pupils suddenly contracting, his face contorted with shock and anger, and he roared:

"Where did this thunder come from? Could it be that heavenly troops have returned and come knocking on our door?"

He was filled with doubt and unease. Li Jing and his son had clearly been defeated and left, so how could they have made such a comeback so quickly and caused such a commotion?

The Black Ring Tai Sui was also shaken so much that its hand swayed and grazed Bai Susu's cheek, leaving a trail of sparks on the cage bars.

He was both shocked and furious. Before he could even speak, a little demon guarding the gate tumbled and crawled into the cave, his face ashen, his teeth chattering, and pointed outside, saying:

"Great, Great King! Disaster has struck!"

"What's the panic! Speak slowly!"

King Jin Huan's heart sank, and he shouted sternly.

"Just now, a very bright and powerful bolt of lightning struck down from somewhere and hit our cave entrance right there!"

That...that thousand-year-old black ironwood gate, cast from bronze, was blasted into pieces by a single bolt of lightning!

Even the two stone demons guarding the cave entrance turned to ash!

"What?!" Jin Huan and Wu Huan shouted almost simultaneously upon hearing this.

"The cave entrance was destroyed?"

King Jin Huan's face turned ashen, and he felt a buzzing in his head, a surge of evil fire rushing to the top of his head.

Hit people without slapping their faces, and curse people without revealing shortcomings.

For demons like them who rule the mountains, the entrance to their cave is like their face.

This is ten times more hateful than slapping them in the face!

"Wow!"

Wu Huan Tai Sui was so enraged that his three corpse gods were about to leap out of their skins, smoke practically spewing from their seven orifices, as he jumped up and down, cursing angrily:

"That ignorant and reckless Li Jing! How dare he be so rude!"

Don't hit someone in the face, and don't tear down a temple's door!

You're like a boil, unable to fight back, so you call on the Thunder God for help! How dare you destroy my cave entrance, how dare you bully my brother and me like this!

That's absolutely hateful!

He subconsciously assumed that Li Jing and his son had returned and had even invited a divine general skilled in thunder to help him, which was why he dared to display such power.

King Golden Ring's face was so dark it seemed to drip water, his snake eyes flashing with cold light, and he gritted his teeth as he said:

"Good! Li Jing! I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you've already come to my door to bully me and ruin my reputation!"

"This time I will not let you get away with this. I will capture you and make you repair the cave entrance yourself!"

In his view, the humiliation of having his gate destroyed was more hateful than the loss of soldiers and generals.

"Brother is right!"

Wu Huan Tai Sui roared, "Men, bring me my armor and weapons!"

"I won't be satisfied until I've annihilated that gang of Maoists to the last man!"

The little demon hurriedly presented the two demons' armor and weapons.

The two demons hurriedly gathered their armor while fuming with anger.

The Black Ringed Tai Sui donned its black iron scale armor, then suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Bai Susu in the cage, and asked in a gruff voice:

"Brother, this rat spirit...should we throw it in the pot and cook it first? When we return victorious, the meat will be tender and the broth rich, and we can enjoy it directly!"

Inside the cage, Bai Susu heard these words and gritted her teeth in hatred, cursing inwardly:

"Two vile devils who deserve to die a horrible death!"

"I hope that lightning bolt was even more ferocious and struck directly into the cave, blasting you both to ashes!"

King Jinhuan, now fully armed and wielding his steel-tipped spear, paused briefly upon hearing this, then shook his head and said coldly:

"No need. Lock her up first and keep a close watch on her."

After capturing Li Jing and repairing the cave entrance, we will use the blood of Li Jing and his son to sacrifice to the cauldron!

Cooking this rat spirit together is the only way to show the grandeur of my victory celebration banquet at Wujin Mountain!

"If we cook it now, what if we overcook it and the meat becomes tough? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"Big brother is so thoughtful!"

Wu Huan Tai Sui chuckled in agreement, then glared fiercely at Bai Susu:

"Stay put in your cage and wait for Grandpa to come back so he can have you as a snack with his drinks!"

Having said that, he stopped looking at the iron cage.

Each wielding their weapons, King Jinhuan mustered their demon soldiers, and, filled with rage, stirred up a gust of demonic wind and charged out towards the broken cave entrance.

…………

…………

Above the clouds, a fierce wind howled.

Chen Jiao sheathed his halberd and stood there, the blazing white thunder halberd in his hand pointing diagonally into the void, its tip slightly drooping.

The blinding lightning that had been coiling around it receded like the tide, leaving only wisps of tiny electric snakes crawling across the blade.

The blazing white lightning that shattered the entrance to the demon cave and shook the mountains just now actually burst forth from the tip of this halberd.
