Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

Lu Qingxuan cupped his hands and said, "I dare not presume, may I ask who you are...?"

The envoy from the South China Sea stroked his beard and laughed, "I am a thousand-year-old turtle from the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea, and I am of the same kind as that one from your East China Sea."

"I have lived for thousands of years and have seen many people, but it is truly rare to find someone as young as Immortal Lu who has such cultivation and such a broad mind."

"I have heard that the immortal built the Three Immortals Shrine in Zhongnan Mountain, where people offer incense and he protects the peace of the region. This merit is something that many immortals may not be able to do."

Lu Qingxuan said, "Senior Turtle, you flatter me. I was just doing what I could, and it's nothing to do with merit."

"You are too modest, Immortal Master. In this world, there are not many people who are willing to do what they can."

He glanced at Ao Lie and smiled meaningfully, "Especially among young people, few can settle down to cultivate, and even fewer have the common people in their hearts."

Ao Lie blushed slightly and lowered his head.

Lu Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. Was there some juicy gossip going on?

However, he couldn't bring himself to ask in front of so many people, so he had to keep his thoughts to himself.

Ao Guang, however, seemed to have figured something out and waved his hand, saying, "Young people have their own ideas, and we old folks can't impose our standards on them."

"Come on, let's drink!"

"The Dragon King is right." Everyone raised their glasses.

After several rounds of drinks, Ao Guang clapped his hands, and the palace doors opened wide. Twelve mermaid singers filed in, their music filling the air and their dances graceful.

However, just as the demons were immersed in the banquet, a Yaksha hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! Trouble has struck Flower Fruit Mountain!"

Ao Guang's face darkened: "What's the panic? Speak slowly!"

Yaksha swallowed hard and said, "That One-Horned Demon Lord has returned, and he brought several demon kings with him. Now that he knows the One-Horned Demon King has been killed, he says... he wants the immortal to come out and face his death."

The hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to Lu Qingxuan.

Lu Qingxuan remained calm, stood up, and cupped his hands in greeting to Ao Guang: "Dragon King, this humble Taoist will be right back."

Ao Guang stopped Lu Qingxuan: "Immortal, please wait. That One-Horned Ghost Lord has brought several demon kings with him. I'm afraid they are up to no good. Perhaps I should send another troop of soldiers to accompany you."

Lu Qingxuan shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Dragon King, but this matter is between me and that one-horned ghost lord. The Dragon Palace should not interfere. Besides, it's just a few demon kings, so it's not a big deal."

Ao Guang was about to persuade him again when Ao Moang stood up and said, "Uncle, there's no need to worry. This prince will accompany the immortal."

"That's excellent." Seeing Ao Moang volunteer, Ao Guang nodded.

He was well aware of the strength of this Crown Prince of the Western Sea; dealing with ordinary demon kings was no problem for him. This could be considered as doing Lu Qingxuan a favor.

Seeing this, Lu Qingxuan didn't say anything more, and rode the clouds to fly towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

Ao Moang followed behind Lu Qingxuan.

Before long, Flower and Fruit Mountain was in sight.

From afar, four figures could be seen standing at the foot of the mountain. The one in the lead looked very similar to the One-Horned Ghost King, and was none other than his elder brother, the One-Horned Ghost Lord!

Behind him stood three demon kings, each with an imposing aura, clearly ruthless characters who had long held high positions.

At this moment, the One-Horned Ghost Lord was looking up at the Water Curtain Cave, cursing, "You Taoist who killed my brother, get out here! I'll make you pay for this in blood today!"

His voice, like muffled thunder, echoed through the valley, making the rocks rustle.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals stationed there hid in the shadows, not daring to show their faces;

The monkeys were so frightened that they hid deep inside the Water Curtain Cave, with only the old monkeys peering cautiously out from the cave entrance.

Lu Qingxuan descended from the clouds and landed in front of the mountain gate.

Upon seeing Lu Qingxuan, the One-Horned Ghost Lord's crimson eyes flashed with ferocity as he gritted his teeth and said, "So, you're the one who killed my brother?"

Lu Qingxuan said calmly, "That's right."

Enraged, the One-Horned Demon Lord brandished his trident and charged forward.

A demon king dressed in black robes behind him reached out and stopped him, whispering, "Ghost Lord, wait! This person's aura is not weak; we must not underestimate him."

Lu Qingxuan glanced at the black-robed demon king, a peak Loose Immortal, who was on par with the One-Horned Ghost Venerable.

At the same time, Ao Moang landed behind Lu Qingxuan, holding a silver spear.

Upon seeing Ao Moang, the One-Horned Demon Lord frowned: "The Crown Prince of the Western Sea? You're also going to stand up for this Taoist priest?"

Ao Moang coldly replied, "Huaguo Mountain is not far from the Dragon Palace. You brought your men here to cause trouble. Did you even ask my uncle's permission?"

The One-Horned Ghost Lord snorted coldly and said, "My revenge has nothing to do with your Dragon Palace. If you know what's good for you, step aside and I won't bother with you. If you don't, I'll take care of you too!"

Ao Moang's expression darkened, and he was about to speak when Lu Qingxuan raised his hand to stop him.

"Your Highness's kindness is appreciated."

Lu Qingxuan said, "However, since this matter arose because of me, I will resolve it myself."

Ao Moang hesitated for a moment, took half a step back, but did not leave, his silver spear still held horizontally in front of him.

Seeing that Lu Qingxuan was alone, the One-Horned Ghost Lord sneered, "Just you alone?"

Lu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Dealing with you all is more than enough for me alone."

"Arrogant! Today you'll pay for my brother's life!"

Enraged, the One-Horned Demon Lord thrust out his trident, transforming it into a streak of black light that pierced towards Lu Qingxuan's chest.

Lu Qingxuan neither dodged nor evaded; he drew his longsword, its azure light flashing like a bolt of lightning as he met the dark light head-on.

With a loud clang, the sword and fork clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

The One-Horned Demon Lord was so shocked that he staggered back several steps, his hands went numb, and he almost dropped his trident.

In contrast, Lu Qingxuan remained completely still, his robes not even fluttering in the wind.

Seeing this, the black-robed demon king, who was observing from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a hint of apprehension in his eyes: "This person's cultivation is unfathomable; we cannot defeat him by force. Attack together!"

Before he finished speaking, he took the initiative and struck with both palms, sending two beams of black light hurtling towards Lu Qingxuan.

The other two demon kings also knew how difficult this battle would be, and they immediately unleashed their strongest divine powers.

In an instant, the four demons joined forces, each using their unique skills, to block all of Lu Qingxuan's escape routes.

Facing the siege of four demons, Lu Qingxuan remained calm, tossing his longsword into the air. The sword instantly transformed into a streak of azure light, engaging in a fierce battle with the trident of the One-Horned Ghost Lord.

At the same time, the purple alchemy furnace flew out from the sleeve and hovered above the head, its purple light shining brightly, blocking all the black light from the black-robed demon king.

As for the remaining two demon kings, Lu Qingxuan didn't even glance at them. He formed hand seals, one on the left and one on the right, and two streams of true fire shot out from his fingertips, transforming into two fire dragons that went to meet them.

With a deafening roar, the two demon kings were sent flying backward, their hammers slipping from their hands and crashing heavily to the ground, blood gushing from their mouths.

The four demons joined forces, but Lu Qingxuan easily defeated them all by himself.

The One-Horned Demon Lord's face turned deathly pale, and he stammered, "You... what kind of supernatural power is this?"

Lu Qingxuan did not answer. He looked at the One-Horned Ghost Lord and said indifferently, "I did not want to kill you, but you did not cherish the opportunity I gave you. Since that is the case, do not blame me for being ruthless."
