Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"What a treasure!" In contrast to the Little Witch's surprise, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's eyes were fixed on the Nine-Ring Staff in Jiang Liu's hands.

It was obvious to Sun Wukong and the others that Jiang Liu's remarkable performance today was not solely reliant on his own strength, but also on the staff in his hand and the defensive capabilities of the kasaya he wore, which made him so powerful.

Though Sun Wukong had always known about the existence of the Nine-Ring Staff and the Brocade Kasaya, this seemed to be the first time he truly witnessed the power of these two treasures.

Even a Demon Immortal could be killed with just one strike from the Zen Staff?

The quality of this Zen Staff was extraordinary.

And that kasaya he wore was even more terrifying—seemingly nullifying any attack!

...

"Are you sure you really won't fight back? Cough, cough, cough…" Seeing that the demons seemed to have been frightened by him, Jiang Liu deeply regretted it, while coughing a few times as if ill, seemingly tempting the demons to strike.

"That's too fake, isn't it?" Seeing Jiang Liu covering his mouth and coughing, the corners of the demons' eyes twitched slightly, and they inwardly sneered.

The ethics of the demon clan were completely opposite to those of humans, so the term cunning and deceitful was a compliment among the demons, who were accustomed to all sorts of devious tricks.

Jiang Liu pretending to cough to provoke them into acting? How could these demons be fooled?

"Master, we are willing to submit, truly and sincerely willing to submit!"

Despite their inward mockery, the leading Demon Immortal still opened his mouth to respond earnestly, not daring to show his real feelings.

"So, I just came from the Human Realm and killed one of your companions, and none of you want revenge?" Jiang Liu still asked, somewhat unconvinced.

"In our demon clan, it is completely natural for the weak to be killed by those with greater strength! We will not be angered, nor will we think of revenge! Please be assured, master!"

The more Jiang Liu wanted to fight, the more fearful the heart of the Demon Immortal became; he lowered his head and hurriedly said.

"Ah…" Seeing that these demons truly had no intention of fighting back, Jiang Liu felt somewhat helpless and sighed deeply, then said no more.

Well, since these demons no longer intended to fight, Jiang Liu naturally had nothing more to say.

He looked down at the Nine-Ring Staff in his hand, which had about 70 hours left in its unsealed state—this was the time spent waiting for Sun Wukong to return at Foutu Mountain, and he didn't have much time left.

"Since you are willing to submit to me, then that's great. I have a question for you!" After a brief silence, Jiang Liu spoke to the Demon Immortal.

"Please ask, master. I will withhold nothing and will tell everything!" With his head bowed, the Demon Immortal answered in a submissive posture, while the other demons behind him, all severely injured, also kept their heads down, not daring to look at Jiang Liu.

"I ask you, there is a weapon in the Demon Realm called the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade. Do you know whose weapon it is?" Without mincing words, Jiang Liu looked at the demon and asked.

"Of course, we know!" Hearing this, the demon nodded vigorously and said, "The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade is indeed the treasure of Demon Venerable Yu Hua of our demon clan!"

"Indeed, it's Yu Hua!" Hearing the Demon Immortal's words, Jiang Liu secretly nodded.

"Demon Venerable? So, is this so-called Demon Venerable equivalent to the Daluo Golden Immortal of the Heavenly Court?" Hearing the Demon Immortal's words, Jiang Liu also roughly understood Yu Hua's abilities.

"Do you know where this Yu Hua is?" Without mincing words, Jiang Liu continued to speak to the Demon Immortal.

"Of course, Demon Venerable Yu Hua naturally stays in the Blood Knife Cave, but alas, it is far from here, at least eighty thousand li away!" The Demon Immortal nodded and continued to respond.

"Eighty thousand li away!? In what direction?" Jiang Liu nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, and followed up with a question regarding the location of the so-called Blood Knife Cave.

Having learned what he needed to know, Jiang Liu waved his hand and dismissed the demons.

"Brother Xuanzang, are you going to the Blood Knife Cave?" From the other side, the Little Witch, having heard Jiang Liu's words, moved forward two steps and asked.

"Yes, I indeed need to make a trip to the Blood Knife Cave!" Jiang Liu nodded slightly in response.

As he spoke, he paused and said, "At this moment, I have already brought you to the Demon Realm; now it is time to part ways. I hope we meet again..."

"No!" However, hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Little Witch shook her head and said, "Brother Xuanzang, if you are going, let me accompany you. You helped me, and now, I want to help you!"

"Eh? You seem to have become a good person too! Aren't your demon clan the ones who see loyalty and righteousness as shameful?" Listening to the Little Witch's words, Jiang Liu was somewhat surprised as he looked at her and said astoundedly.

"I, I…"

Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Little Witch suddenly became aware, lowered her head and thought. Indeed, wasn't the idea of repaying kindness scorned by the demon clan? Why then did she want to do it?

Could it be? Was she really being transformed by Brother Xuanzang?

"Queen!" The countless demons from the Underground Demon Cavern who had followed the Little Witch back to the Demon Realm were startled by her words and looked at Jiang Liu in alarm.

Indeed, the monks among humans were the most frightening, with their transformative abilities invoking fear.

Unexpectedly, even the Queen was about to be converted without realizing it?

They opened their mouths, a few Demon Marshals wanted to speak up and persuade her, but thinking about the overwhelming power Jiang Liu had just displayed, the words of these demons ended up stuck in their throats.

Forget it, it's better not to anger this terrifying monk.

"Since you want to go, let's go together!" Although surprised by the Little Witch's words, Jiang Liu thought about it and then nodded in agreement.

For Jiang Liu, although the Little Witch's level was only 50, her Samadhi Demonic Fire was indeed a powerful weapon, which could somewhat help when things got rough.

Moreover, most importantly, the Little Witch's level was 50, not much different from his own, so they could form a team!

So, while she fought monsters, he could gain experience. What could be more thrilling than that?

"Okay! Brother Xuanzang! Let's go together!" Although the Little Witch was also surprised by her own grateful mindset, hearing Jiang Liu agree, she was very happy and nodded vigorously with a laugh.

"Alright, you all just wait here. I'll be back soon!" After getting Jiang Liu's confirmation, the Little Witch immediately turned around and spoke to her subordinates.

"Yes, Queen!" Hearing the Little Witch's words, these demons from the Underground Demon Cavern all nodded in unison.

"There's no time to delay, let's set off!" There was a time limit to experiencing his two great treasures, so Jiang Liu did not intend to waste time and spoke up.

As he spoke, Jiang Liu jumped onto the back of the White Dragon Horse.

Understanding Jiang Liu's intentions, the White Dragon Horse kicked up clouds and trotted off directly into the sky.@@novelbin@@

Naturally, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the Little Witch also flew, heading toward the direction of the Blood Knife Cave where the Great Luo Demon Venerable Yu Hua resided.

Eighty thousand li was neither near nor far.

After all, this was not the Journey to the West for Scriptures, where one needed to walk step by step, enduring eighty-one tribulations along the way.

"Master, considering the existence of the Great Luo Demon Venerable, he must be very formidable. Should we perhaps plan more thoroughly?"

After running in the sky for half an hour and neither master nor brothers having uttered a word, White Dragon Horse, unable to stay silent any longer, spoke up.

A Daluo Golden Immortal was an influential figure in the Heavenly Court; by the same logic, the power of the Great Luo Demon Venerable would certainly not be weaker than Sun Wukong and the Erlang God, Yang Jian.

Just rushing over so openly to persuade Third Brother to come back? Isn't that a bit too straightforward?

The saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, but the current situation was like a strong snake trying to suppress the local dragon!

The eldest brother is not known for subtleties, straightforward as he is, and the second brother, naturally lazy, doesn't bother to exert himself or even think too much about it.

But for Master to also act this way? This forced White Dragon Horse to speak a word of caution.

"Xiaobai, sometimes overthinking is pointless!" Hearing White Dragon Horse's words, Jiang Liu shook his head and said to him.

Not to mention the 10 million attack boost from the Nine-Ring Staff, with the 1 billion defense of the Brocade Kasaya, Jiang Liu felt he was already in an invincible position.

Below a Saint, nothing could be broken, so what was there to fear from a mere Great Luo Demon Venerable? Besides, why worry?

Moreover, the Great Luo Realm? Although Sun Wukong is only at the level of a Taiyi True Immortal, his golden status panel's strength is almost comparable to the Great Luo Realm.

If I give him another couple of Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantras and Protective Mantras, surely, Sun Wukong will not be weaker than that Great Luo Demon Venerable Yu Hua, right?

Not to mention, Zhu Bajie and the others are by our side.

For Jiang Liu, that so-called Blood Knife Cave was the real place to gain a substantial amount of experience points.

"No need to overthink things!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the White Dragon Horse looked a bit perplexed and somewhat baffled.

"Correct, it's safe to think carefully before acting, but sometimes, overthinking only leads to missed opportunities. Yu Hua clearly won't expect us to raid his lair so swiftly, so going now will catch him completely off guard!" Jiang Liu nodded seriously and explained.

Besides, in a frontal battle, Jiang Liu saw himself having a greater chance of winning. So what was there to be scared of? A monk! should be exactly this resolute!

Tip: Complete the task "Demon Protecting," gain 15,000,000 Experience Points, and receive an Epic Level Treasure Chest*1.

Tip: Level increased by 1, current level is 48.

Just then, suddenly, a system notification appeared, a cooling sensation spreading from the inside out, making Jiang Liu feel completely refreshed.

His level had now reached 48, a step closer to the significant milestone of level 50.

Thrilled, Jiang Liu opened his inventory space, his gaze falling on the epic-level treasure chest...
