Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

The God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, standing to the side, was getting a little anxious.

"Senior brother, aren't you being a bit too blunt?!"

"Li Jing, this guy is clearly taking advantage of the fact that you're an educated person!"

"He's clearly afraid you'll steal his credit!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang displayed a very magnanimous demeanor.

"Hey, what's with all this talk of merit?"

"We are all His Majesty's subjects; all this credit belongs to His Majesty!"

At this point, Li Xuancang seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the Jade Emperor.

"Your Majesty! The demon monkey is causing trouble in the mortal realm. If Heavenly King Li takes action, he will surely return victorious and capture the demon monkey."

"In that case, why doesn't our Heavenly Court hold a banquet to celebrate the Heavenly King's return?"

Upon hearing Li Xuancang's words, the Jade Emperor was immediately astonished.

Good heavens!!!

Nephew...you're the one who's so sarcastic!

If Li Jing went there, he would surely suffer a defeat.

You want me to hold a banquet in Heaven to celebrate Li Jing's victory?!

This was clearly a huge loss of face for Li Jing...

How perverted!

But I love it so much!!!

Then, remembering this, the Jade Emperor suppressed his laughter and spoke...

"Marshal Li is right. It will be a piece of cake for Heavenly King Li to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals down to the mortal realm to capture the demon monkey."

"In that case, let us hold a banquet in the Lingxiao Palace to celebrate Li Tianwang's victory after he captures the demon monkey!"

To be honest, Li Jing already felt that something was not quite right at this moment.

Is Li Xuancang really that easy to talk to?

You should know that you had previously made things difficult for the other party. At that time, you sensed that the other party had Shangqing magic power and thought that they were a disciple of the Jie Sect in the prehistoric world.

I originally intended to take it to the Heavenly Court and hand it over to Guanyin Bodhisattva for processing, and ideally, to guide it to the Western Paradise.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a direct disciple of a sage.

Moreover, this guy and I have never gotten along.

Why are you suddenly speaking well of me today?

Li Jing didn't quite understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

The most important thing now is to fulfill Guanyin Bodhisattva's command to make that chosen one hate the Heavenly Court, and under no circumstances should he be allowed to side with the Heavenly Court.

When the time comes, all we need to do is take that monkey to the Demon-Slaying Platform and subject it to being struck by swords and lightning. The monkey will then surely hate the Heavenly Court, and Guanyin Bodhisattva's command will be fulfilled…

Thinking of this, Li Jing cupped his hands in greeting once more.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

"In that case, I will immediately muster my troops and descend to the mortal realm to subdue the demon!"

All that could be seen was Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, waving his cloak with great imposing manner, leading Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Giant Spirit God out of the Lingxiao Palace.

And the Jade Emperor did indeed begin arranging a banquet…

After the court assembly ended, in the Tongming Hall.

The Jade Emperor and Li Xuancang sat facing each other, drinking tea.

"Nephew, this is Enlightenment Tea. If you like it, please take some back with you later."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

Li Xuancang didn't stand on ceremony and picked it up to drink.

The Jade Emperor then asked a question.

"Nephew, are you really that confident in that kid Wukong?"

"You have to understand that Li Jing is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he also has generals under his command such as Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Giant Spirit God."

"Wukong is currently only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even if Wukong's supernatural powers are extraordinary and he can defeat Li Jing, can he really make Li Jing flee in disarray?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang smiled smugly.

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master. The Four Heavenly Kings and the Giant Spirit God are no match for Wukong. As for Nezha, you know about his relationship with Li Jing, Uncle-Master."

"It's already a miracle that Nezha didn't help Wukong beat up Li Jing!"

"Therefore, Li Jing will inevitably suffer a crushing defeat this time. I will then descend to the mortal realm to subdue Wukong, and incidentally, I can also recruit Wukong into the Heavenly Court..."

"Moreover, Wukong's beating of Li Jing was a demonstration of his abilities, and then he was assigned to work under me, so no one could say anything about it."

"Even Li Jing couldn't object!"

Upon hearing these words, the Jade Emperor burst into laughter.

"Hehehehehehehe..."

"My nephew is truly cunning. He just suggested that I hold a grand banquet to celebrate Li Jing's victory in the Lingxiao Palace."

"I think you, junior apprentice, clearly just wanted to attend the banquet yourself."

Li Xuancang also laughed.

"Hehehehehehe... Uncle-Master, you see through it but don't say it~"

For a moment, the old and the young foxes looked at each other and smiled again.

Hehehehehehehehehehe………

The Curtain-Rolling General, who was on duty outside the Tongming Hall, felt that the Heavenly Court had become increasingly cold and gloomy lately.

..............................

Meanwhile, Li Jing had already mustered 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, with Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Giant Spirit God as the vanguard, heading straight for the mortal realm.

Sun Wukong was living a carefree and leisurely life in Flower Fruit Mountain during this period.

I obtained a set of excellent armor and the Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff) from the Dragon Palace.

Then, in the underworld, they crossed out all the monkeys' names in the Book of Life and Death!

After returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, besides organizing the troops every day, he spent his time drinking and having fun with his other sworn brothers.

The seven demon kings will have a meal at your cave today, and another at his cave tomorrow...

On this day, all the demon kings gathered once again at Flower Fruit Mountain.

While the seven demon kings were feasting in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, had already led 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to the sky above Flower Fruit Mountain.

However, Li Jing hesitated for a moment because at this moment, the mountain of flowers and fruits was filled with demonic energy!

This is hardly the demonic aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Even ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals and Demon Kings don't have this kind of aura!

So Li Jing summoned the Giant Spirit God.

"Giant Spirit God, when the Dragon King and Yama went to Heaven to complain, did they say that Sun Wukong was a demon at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

The giant spirit nodded.

"Reporting to Marshal Qi! That's exactly right!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was even more astonished and suspicious. Could a demon at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level possess such overwhelming demonic energy?

Or is it because Sun Wukong is the chosen one of the Journey to the West's great calamity, and therefore somewhat extraordinary?

Little did Li Jing know that all seven demon kings were currently in the Water Curtain Cave!

Although somewhat surprised, things had come to this point, and they had to capture the demon monkey first.

Li Jing immediately ordered the war drums to be beaten and the troops to advance towards Huaguo Mountain!

In Huaguo Mountain, the seven demon kings were drinking and making merry when a little fox demon suddenly ran in in a great panic.

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"

"Many heavenly soldiers and generals are arriving on clouds, and they're almost at the summit of my Flower Fruit Mountain!!!"

Upon hearing this, the Water Curtain Cave fell silent instantly.

Sun Wukong sneered...

"Oh? It seems the Heavenly Court is here to cause trouble for me, Old Sun!"

The hot-tempered Lion Camel King immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Does the mere Heavenly Court dare to cause trouble for us brothers?"

"When we brothers swore our oath, we said we would share both good times and bad!"

"Since the Heavenly Court has come looking for trouble, let's show them what we're made of!"

The same was true for the Roc Demon King standing to the side.

"Hehe... Today we'll have a good fight with that Heavenly Court!"

The other demon kings echoed this sentiment.

The Bull Demon King looked at Sun Wukong and asked a question.

"Brother Sun, just tell me, are we going to take him down?!"

A fierce glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes as he held his golden cudgel...

"Hehehehehehe!!!"

"Everyone, follow me out of the cave!"

"Form ranks!"

"Let them see the might of our army!"

"Scare them to death!!!"
