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

Rakshasa Girl felt her ears tickled from his breath and playfully pushed the Bull Demon King away.

"They are just people who know they have caused trouble, or who want to profit from it, so they come to you, my husband, as a shield."

"Only you are still patient enough to explain things to them."

"There will always be some ties and favors left."

The Bull Demon King reached out and grabbed her soft hand, laughing:

"Furthermore, I, Old Niu, now have a family. How can I continue to shout for violence? What do you say, Madam?"

A faint blush rose on the Rakshasa woman's face. She withdrew her hand and spat lightly:

"Pah, what nonsense are you talking about? You're so powerful now, you're worried about your reputation."

I just hope those reckless fools won't bother us anymore. My ears are practically calloused from their noise these past few days.

"rest assured……"

The Bull Demon King pulled her closer, his tone resolute, and said with a forced smile:

"Everything that needed to be said has been said, and everything that needed to be blocked has been blocked."

These past few days, I've been keeping my wife company in this cave, enjoying some peace and quiet, letting the winds and waves rage outside...

Just then, they heard a maid's urgent report coming from afar outside the cave.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! We have guests visiting from outside the cave."

The Bull Demon King raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "Who goes there? Don't you know I don't receive guests today?"

"It is said that the Azure Mirage Demon Saint, the Moon Devouring Demon King, the Bone Luo Demon King... a total of nine, have arrived together and are waiting outside the cave, saying that they have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King's brows slowly furrowed, like layers of mountains.

The Rakshasa woman also sat up straight, her lazy smile vanishing completely, replaced by a cold and solemn expression.

"Even that old monster Qing Shen has emerged from seclusion? And with such a grand display..."

A hint of seriousness flashed in the Bull Demon King's usually bold bull eyes, and he slowly sat up straight.

Before he became famous, Qing Shen had already achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, reaching the perfect state of a Celestial Immortal. Whether he has now glimpsed the threshold of a True Immortal is unknown to anyone.

It is an old monster who has lived for many years, whose whereabouts are mysterious, and whose magical power is unfathomable. He would never act rashly.

The Moon-Devouring Demon King is a powerful demon king who occupies the border area between Beiju Luzhou and Xiniu Hezhou. He is domineering and powerful, and is no ordinary person.

As for the Bone Demon King, although his reputation is not as illustrious as the previous two, he has always been known for his cunning and secretive nature, making him an extremely difficult character to deal with.

In addition, there are several other great demon kings with different names, none of whom are easy to deal with...

Such a large entourage, arriving at the gates of Cuiyun Mountain, was no ordinary visit.

"It seems that I won't be able to enjoy this peaceful life anymore."

The Rakshasa woman gently pressed down on the Bull Demon King's arm and whispered:

"We had just sent away a group of scouts when the main character himself came to our door."

And they chose this time of year; their intentions are ill-intentioned, for good intentions don't come.

The Bull Demon King snorted coldly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

These old guys are determined to put him on the hot seat.

The languid look on his face vanished. He patted the Rakshasa woman's hand and said in a deep voice:

"Whether they are good or bad, you can only know by seeing them. If you avoid seeing them, it will make it seem like I, Old Niu, am afraid of them."

I want to hear what kind of elaborate and outlandish reasoning they can come up with.

Having said that, the Bull Demon King straightened his robes and gave an order to the person outside the door:

"Open the doors to welcome guests, and serve tea in the front hall. I will arrive shortly."

…………

…………

Front hall of the cave dwelling.

The once spacious hall now seemed somewhat cramped.

The main position is vacant; the Bull Demon King has not yet appeared.

At the head of the guest seats, an elderly man in a wide, plain white robe shrouded in mist was resting with his eyes closed. His face appeared sometimes clear and sometimes murky in the misty air, seemingly real and sometimes unreal.

It was none other than the Azure Mirage Demon Saint.

Sitting to his left was a middle-aged man in black robes, whose eyes seemed to shimmer with moonlight as they opened and closed; he was the Moon Devouring Demon King.

Further down, there was a man wearing a dark red cloak with a sinister face, who was none other than the Bone Demon King.

The remaining few also possessed profound auras and were usually powerful demon kings who dominated their respective regions.

No one spoke in the hall; only the soft sounds of the waiters adding tea.

The steam from the tea rose gently, yet it couldn't dispel the invisible heaviness in the air.

Footsteps sounded, and the Bull Demon King's imposing figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

He strode in, took his seat in the main seat, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over the demons present. He laughed heartily and boomed:

"What wind has blown you all here today, fellow Daoists, to this desolate wilderness?"

The Azure Mirage Demon Saint slowly opened his eyes, a faint azure light flickering within them. He merely nodded slightly and said:

"We have come here uninvited and disturbed the peace of the Ox King. We hope you will forgive us."

"It was a matter of urgency, and we had no choice but to come together to pay this visit."

The Moon-Devouring Demon King picked up the conversation and sneered:

"Tranquility? Where can you find true tranquility in Xiniu Hezhou these days?"

The Bull King must have heard that the True Lord of Heaven has been very powerful lately, causing my demon clan's men to tremble with fear, and many of our fellow cultivators' foundations to be on the verge of collapse.

Such wanton slaughter, what do they consider the demons of my Western Continent to be?

"If he comes to hunt and slaughter today, will any random star or celestial general be able to lord it over us in the future?"

"good!"

A demon king with a deer's head said angrily, "That True Lord is ruthless in his actions, often using thunder to kill without any room for maneuver."

If this continues, how will the demon race of Xiniu Hezhou maintain its dignity? Won't it be ridiculed by the demon races of the other three continents and four seas?

Could it be that it has become his Heavenly Court's backyard, where he can take whatever he wants?

Could it be that it has become his Heavenly Court's backyard, where he can take whatever he wants?

The Bone Demon King gently set down his teacup and said:

"The Bull King is truly the most outstanding member of the demon race in our Western Continent. He is highly respected and possesses great supernatural powers."

Now that our fellow practitioners have suffered calamity, the demons are filled with dread.

If the Bull King doesn't step in to take charge, it will likely chill the hearts of countless demon warriors and make the Heavenly Court True Lord feel even more that there is no one in the Western Continent to bully at will.

The Moon Devouring Demon King snorted coldly and added, "Besides, whether it will cause harm or not is up to the Heavenly Court to decide."

He says you are guilty, so you are guilty! Today the golden ring and black ring are killed, but tomorrow the butcher's knife will fall, and who knows if it won't be you or me?

This is not to advocate for a few petty villains, but to fight for the pride and survival of my Western Continent demon race!

Could it be that even a dignified True Immortal and Demon Saint like the Bull King is afraid of a mere True Lord from the Heavenly Court?

The Bull Demon King stood quietly listening, his face calm, but inwardly he frowned.

These guys are clearly using this as an excuse to make trouble.

That True Lord may be flamboyant, but to obtain this position, he is not someone easily matched.

Their contempt is either genuine stupidity or feigned ignorance, a way to push him into a position of power.

"I understand the righteous indignation of my fellow Daoists."

After the demons' voices subsided slightly, the Bull Demon King slowly spoke:

"However, the Heavenly Court has its own rules and regulations when it sends generals on inspection tours."

Since they have come with the decree of Heaven, even if we are dissatisfied, we must consider our actions carefully.

That True Lord may act forcefully, but so far he has not crossed any lines; direct conflict with him is probably not the best course of action.

The Azure Mirage Demon Saint slowly shook his head and said:

"King Ox, it is not that we want to cause trouble. The Heavenly Court is powerful, this is common knowledge."

However, how could Xiniu Hezhou tolerate such arrogance from outsiders? That True Lord's cruel actions had already stirred up widespread resentment.

The Azure Mirage Demon Saint paused, looked at the Bull Demon King, and said earnestly:

"I'm a few years older than you, so let me say something that might not be pleasant to hear."

If the demon race of the Western Continent is a disorganized bunch, today he will wipe out a clan, tomorrow he will slaughter a mountain, and sooner or later it will be the turn of all of you here.

"King Niu, your cultivation is profound; you may be able to protect yourself. But what about your descendants and your shared legacy?"

"There's no need for the Bull King to fight him to the death. All you need to do is step in, stop him, and ask him why he's acting so cruelly."

He needs to give an explanation and tone down his tone.

In this way, we can appease the hearts of the demons of the Western Continent, show that we are not to be trifled with, and let the Heavenly Court know that the Western Continent is not a land without a master.

With the abilities of the Bull King, he could naturally grasp the proper measure.

Otherwise, how would the demon races of the four directions view my Xiniu Hezhou?

In the future, when my fellow cultivators from Xizhou are abroad, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage? Your Cuiyun Mountain base is here, and you, Ox King, are the face of Xizhou.

There are some things that only you can do, things that only you are capable of doing.

Bone Demon King added, speaking sincerely, "What the Azure Mirage Demon Saint said is absolutely right."

All it takes is for the Bull King to step in and slightly dampen its momentum, making it back down and more cautious during its patrols.

At that time, all the fellow practitioners in the Western Continent will be grateful for the kindness and righteousness of the Ox King.

We are not leaving Brother Niu to deal with this alone; if necessary, we will come to his aid.
