He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"hehe……"

In Lu Chen's mind, the low, suppressed laughter of Su Daji echoed.

"Master, this divine general... why does he seem as stupid as a pig?"

Does he believe everything others say?

No... he really does seem to be a pig...

As a nine-tailed fox demon, she had seen all sorts of beings.

But this kind of "easily fooled" top-tier combat power is truly a first.

Hearing the little fox's complaints, Lu Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for her.

Even though Marshal Tianpeng was only a projection of divine power, his rank was still frighteningly high.

If he were to overhear a little fox calling him a "stupid pig" behind his back, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even he himself might not be able to defeat the phantom in front of him.

"My husband, I think he seems... quite easily led by the nose."

Bibi Dong's voice carried a hint of amusement.

"How about you try turning it around and having him deal with those members of the demonic cult?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

That's a good idea!

Rather than confronting this terrifying phantom of a divine general head-on, it's better to shift the blame elsewhere!

At this moment, seeing Lu Chen remain silent, Marshal Tianpeng's anger intensified:

"Kid! Silence means you agree! Prepare to die!!"

He had limited time and needed to finish the battle quickly. The nine-toothed rake in his hand shone brightly with golden light as he was about to smash it down.

"There's hope!"

Huo Ming and the black-robed men, who were standing nearby, were overjoyed at the sight, waiting to see Lu Chen be killed by this divine general with a single swipe of his rake.

At this critical moment, Lu Chen suddenly raised his head, looked directly into Marshal Tianpeng's enormous eyes, and a majestic aura suddenly erupted from his body:

"Pigsy! Are you so easily blinded?"

Your master, Jin Chanzi

Is this how you were taught to distinguish right from wrong back then?

To act rashly without knowing the truth?

ah??"

These words came out like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

"Who...who are you?!"

The enormous phantom of Marshal Tianpeng shuddered suddenly, the rake in his hand abruptly stopping in mid-air, and shock appeared on his huge pig face.

"How do you know about Jin Chanzi?!"

According to the sacrificial contract with the Hidden Dragon, this world has no idea about his detailed history.

Where did this kid learn these secrets from?

Seeing that he had actually fooled the other party, Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet!

The world seems to have no record of the story of "Journey to the West".

Or perhaps, the origin of Marshal Tianpeng belongs to a higher level of secret.

"My husband, you're amazing!"

Hua Xiyu was overjoyed, her eyes shining, and she admired Lu Chen's quick wit and erudition immensely.

"Where did you learn these secrets?"

"It cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken..."

Lu Chen smiled mysteriously in the soul connection, temporarily brushing the matter aside.

Now is not the time to explain.

He steadied himself and said in a profound and enigmatic tone:

"I not only know that your master is Jin Chanzi, but I also know that your senior brother is the Victorious Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong!"

Pigsy, your real name is Pig Ganglie, also known as Pig Wuneng. You were banished to the mortal realm because of Chang'e...

Do I need to say anything more?

In the end, Lu Chen smiled and stared meaningfully at Marshal Tianpeng.

When his most shameful secret was exposed in public, Marshal Tianpeng's huge pig face instantly turned bright red.

He quickly put away his rake, flew to Lu Chen's side, then stretched out his huge hand, awkwardly patted Lu Chen's shoulder, and chuckled dryly:

"Hehe...this...it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Young brother, oh no, fellow Daoist, I'm so sorry, I, Old Pig, almost mistook you for an innocent person!

He immediately realized that the other party, who knew his background so clearly, was no ordinary person in this world, much less a lackey of demons.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you...you are not perhaps from this world either?"

Lu Chen's heart tightened again, his mind raced, and a hint of sorrow appeared on his face as he sighed:

"Alas... to be honest, I originally intended to go to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave, to become a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi and cultivate."

However, just as he entered the gate, he was caught up in a great calamity by chance, and was forced to reincarnate to experience the tribulations. His soul wandered and ended up in this strange world...

He fabricated a lie riddled with errors, his tone filled with helplessness.

"I see!"

Marshal Tianpeng's face immediately showed sympathy.

"Brother, I know you've had a tough time! When I, Old Pig, was reincarnated, it was a truly bitter experience!"

"Kid, no, junior brother!"

Marshal Tianpeng patted his large belly vigorously and said with great pride,

"Don't worry! Since I, Old Pig, have run into you, this time, I'll protect you, Senior Brother!"

After saying that, he turned his head sharply, and the anger that had just dissipated in his ring eyes was instantly ignited, and burned even more fiercely!

He stared intently at Huo Ming and the ten black-robed figures below, his voice booming like thunder, filled with the fury of being fooled:

"You bunch of weird bastards!"

How dare you deceive me, Old Pig! I almost accidentally hurt my own junior brother!

I think you're the ones who are like the demon's lackeys!

Prepare to die!

A burst of golden light flashed, and the enormous phantom of Marshal Tianpeng vanished from beside Lu Chen in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Huo Ming as if he had teleported!

The nine-toothed rake in his hand, carrying a terrifying power that could tear through space, smashed down mercilessly towards Huo Ming!

"not good!!!"

Huo Ming's expression changed drastically, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped his entire body!

Before he could think, a burst of red light erupted from his body.

Several life-saving defensive magical artifacts were instantly unleashed.

Layers upon layers of protective light enveloped him completely.

However, in the face of Marshal Tianpeng's divine weapon, the Nine-Toothed Rake, these mortal defenses were as flimsy as paper!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

A series of crisp cracking sounds rang out, and the protective shields couldn't even last a second before shattering completely!

"Bang--!!!"

The nine-toothed rake slammed solidly into Huo Ming's arms!

"puff--!"

Huo Ming was struck as if by a meteorite, spitting out blood. Like a kite with a broken string, he was slammed into the yellow sand below by the rake!

With a deafening roar, a huge crater tens of meters in diameter was smashed into the ground, and yellow sand shot into the sky, filling half the sky!
