Chapter 62

Just now's incident, none of you can speak of it, heard me! With Sun Wukong's threat gone, Li Jing again became that mighty Tota Tianwang, as if just now he wasn't him at all.

I just don't know, when he learns Yudi Haotian just staged a live broadcast for all the immortals in the Great Hall to watch, what thought will arise in his heart.

"Heavenly King Li, can you capture the demon monkey?"

In the Great Hall, Haotian looked at the noticeably disheveled Li Jing and asked.

Although eager to report back, Li Jing still changed his pants.

But Li Jing now felt something was off, as if he had become the center of attention; he often went to the Lower Realm to subdue demons, yet each time he reported back, he never felt this way!

"Eh... reporting to Your Majesty, that demon monkey's strength is too overwhelming, this humble official is powerless." Li Jing broke out in a cold sweat, speaking cautiously.

He had just sworn a military oath, would Yudi Haotian really kill himself?

"Pfft!" Looking at Li Jing, Haotian still couldn't hold back his laughter.

Li Jing looked dazed, why did Yudi Haotian not only not get angry, but even laugh out loud?

"Yudi Haotian, what is this?" Li Jing probed.

Haotian coughed once, steadied his emotions, and said lightly: "Nothing, I just recalled a joyful matter."

Joyful? Joyful is good, if Yudi Haotian is joyful perhaps he won't blame him.

"Dare I ask Yudi Haotian, what joyful matter?"

"The dates in the Lower Realm seem to be ripening."

Pfft!

Another immortal was infected by Haotian's laughter, accidentally laughing out loud.

Li Jing eyed him suspiciously and asked: "What are you laughing at again?"

That immortal quickly replied: "I also thought of a joyful matter."

Strange and odd, Li Jing felt a bit unable to grasp the situation.

How come after I went out for a trip, the atmosphere turned somewhat eerie?

Haotian's expression turned solemn, letting himself fully calm down: "Heavenly King Li, you've worked hard, you may withdraw first."

"Who else dares to face the demon monkey?"

This voice made the previously somewhat chaotic Great Hall fall silent again; seeing no one step forward, Haotian's face also showed a hint of unease.

If it's fundamentally better not to provoke, since we've already fought, if we can't subdue it, wouldn't the loss be the Heavenly Court's dignity?

Haotian's chief aide, Tai Bai Jin Xing, pondered slightly and had an idea.

Stepping forward, he said: "Reporting to Yudi Haotian, this humble official has a candidate."

"Speak."

Tai Bai Jin Xing held the floating sink diagonally on his right side and said: "I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers exterminating the carp spirit, and being able to retreat unscathed after sparring with Guanyin—Tianpeng?"

Indeed!

Haotian's eyes lit up, how could he have forgotten Tianpeng? That Tianpeng previously displayed two moves with some depth; perhaps he could truly fight the monkey.

"Where is Tianpeng!" Haotian called out.

One breath, two breaths...

Haotian felt a hint of anger, he's actually not here again, this is too lax!

"Tai Bai Jin Xing, go summon Tianpeng here."

Tai Bai Jin Xing received the order and left; also, he was lucky, catching Tianpeng just as he returned from treasure hunting.

"What?" Tianpeng was stunned, "Yudi Haotian wants me to subdue the demon monkey?"

Isn't that the demon monkey already designated by the Buddhist Sect?

"That demon monkey's magical power is superb, even the Three Altars Sea Assembly Great God couldn't subdue it."

"Old Dao, after thinking it over, in the Taiyi Realm, only Marshal you has the ability to subdue this demon monkey; relying on your ability to retreat unscathed under Guanyin's hand, you've already surpassed by too much."

Tai Bai Jin Xing, as expected of someone who has long stood by Haotian's side as the foremost loyal minister for countless ages, this flattery comes out naturally, giving a feeling of extreme comfort.

These few words will directly be like an imprint on Tianpeng's heart,

making Tianpeng greatly pleased.

"As long as Marshal you subdues the demon monkey, Yudi Haotian will surely bestow great rewards!" Tai Bai Jin Xing began again to paint a big pancake for Tianpeng.

Good thing!

Tianpeng's eyes lit up, isn't that another chance to obtain a good magical treasure?

Just a demon monkey of the same realm as him; furthermore, having eaten so many dishes from Chef Chen, even if he hasn't awakened the third divine ability, those dishes have further solidified his cultivation.

Dwelling in Flower Falling Drifting Sway and unafraid of boiling water like a dead pig, he is confident he is invincible in the Taiyi Realm; a mere demon monkey, what's more, what's the Buddhist Sect's designated one to him?

Tianpeng will strike without error, rewards he has secured, Guanyin cannot stop him!

Tianpeng patted his chest, full of confidence, said: "This Marshal promises!"

Lingxiao Baodian.

"Reporting to Yudi Haotian, Marshal Tianpeng has been brought by this humble official." Tai Bai Jin Xing flicked the floating sink, nodded and said.

Haotian waved his hand to have Tai Bai Jin Xing return to his post, then looked toward the central Tianpeng, sized him up from top to bottom, quite surprised and said: "Tianpeng, you've advanced to mid-Taiyi Realm?"

"Yudi Haotian's clear discernment!" Tianpeng clasped his hands and began to bow.

Mid-Taiyi Realm? So fast!

All the immortals were astonished, it seems Tianpeng's initial entry into the Taiyi Realm hasn't been long.

Could it be that before, they truly underestimated Tianpeng? Tianpeng is of extraordinary spiritual talent?

Nezha, who has returned to the immortal ranks, feels indignant; he is of late-Taiyi cultivation, yet he can't even defeat that monkey, can a mid-Taiyi defeat it?

However, in Haotian's and the immortals' eyes, Tianpeng, who could retreat unscathed under Guanyin's hand, might indeed have this ability.

"Tianpeng, I desire to send you to the Lower Realm to subdue demons, dare you go?"

Tianpeng spoke confidently without hesitation: "Of course, with this superior nine-tooth rake in my hand, I will surely make that demon monkey flee with his head in his hands and surrender willingly!"

"Good!" Haotian laughed loudly: "Tianpeng, hear my order—I command you to lead a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, and you must capture that demon monkey!"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng shook his head and smiled confidently: "Why need a hundred thousand? I, Tianpeng alone, am sufficient!"

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the Southern Heaven Gate.

All the immortals looked on, somewhat dazed—Tianpeng really put on a good show of pretense!

Arriving above Mount Huaguo, Tianpeng gazed down at the dazed little monkeys staring at him and shouted domineeringly: "I am Bei Shuai, War God of the Heavenly Court, Tianpeng Marshal—demon monkey, come out and face death!"

This shout startled those monkeys greatly, and they hurriedly ran into the Water Curtain Cave.

While running, they shouted: "Oh no, a fat guy is coming over to attack!"

Tianpeng: Are you polite?

Sun Wukong was in a foul mood; he had originally wanted to drink a little wine, but instead was disturbed three or five times in a row.

After taking another big gulp, he surged forth with fierce vigor.

"Hold it, you fat one—why are you disturbing Lao Sun's drinking?!" Sun Wukong pointed the Ruyi Knife at Tianpeng and said.

Tianpeng let out a cold snort: "What fat one? I am Bei Shuai, War God of the Heavenly Court—seeing me here, why don't you quickly surrender and bind your hands?"

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, revealing a chill—this Heavenly Court really bullies monkeys too much; they even released that little girl and the pudding, yet still sent people here.

Could it be they truly think I am a soft monkey?

Today, if nothing gets resolved, nobody will have an easy time!

"You're asking for a beating!" Sun Wukong roared, his form flickering—he instantly appeared before Tianpeng, swinging the Ruyi Knife with such speed it left no time to react.

Oh my god!

Sun Wukong's speed was so great that Tianpeng had not anticipated it at all; instantly, he was frightened until his face turned pale.
