Chapter 113: Laojun: As long as the pagoda isn't taken, it's not much of a problem

On the ground, Tang An was fanning the flames.

In the sky, Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Nezha were fanning the flames together.

Those on the ground were inciting the Qingshijing to seize weapons, while those in the sky were inciting the gods to take action together.

Just as the language grew increasingly heated and the situation spiraled out of control, they heard Nezha give an order.

"All Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Heavenly Court Water Army, hear my command! Follow this deity to capture the demon!"

"Yes!"

That was one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, plus one hundred thousand Heavenly Court Water Army troops.

With a force of two hundred thousand, if the Qingshijing still chose not to act, then even if their divine weapons were thrown down, the Qingshijing would be severely injured if not killed.

"Hmph! Do you think this Great King is afraid of you?" The Qingshijing snorted through his bull nose and immediately offered up the Diamond Bracelet.

Tang An stood by, silently cheering the Qingshijing on. "Right! Take them! You are Laojun's mount; how could you let them bully you?"

"And those gods, hurry! Hurry and show them the means of Great King Qingshijing!"

To use the Diamond Bracelet to collect the magic treasures of two hundred thousand troops, he inevitably had to go all out.

Once he went all out, every god holding a magic treasure in their hand—not a single one escaped—had their treasure sucked away by the Diamond Bracelet as if by a magnet.

"Wow! Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"

"Quick, quick, it's time for the trash-talking segment, scare them to death!"

Hearing this, the Qingshijing looked at the Heavenly Soldiers, Generals, and gods in the sky. "Without your magic treasures, what else can you use to fight this Great King!"

He had been completely brainwashed by Tang An and was so hot-headed that if she pushed him a little more, he could be incited to rebel against the Heavenly Court together with her.

"If you have the ability, go and call for reinforcements again. One comes, this Great King takes one; two come, this Great King takes a pair!"

"In this world, there is no magic treasure this Great King cannot take!"

"Right!" Tang An shouted along, "Our Great King is right."

The gods looked at one another.

While feeling the sting of their loss, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Was that person jumping around on the ground the captured Destined One, or the Qingshijing's military advisor?

They looked far too much like they were on the same side!

Thirty-Third Heaven, Doushuai Palace.

Taishang Laojun, who was meditating, suddenly woke up. He looked down, supported his forehead with one hand, and felt a splitting headache.

"Fortunately, fortunately, it was only the magic treasures of the Heavenly Soldiers, Generals, and gods that were taken. Fortunately, the mess made isn't too big yet."

"As long as Li Jing's pagoda isn't taken, this is all karma that can be resolved; it's not too difficult."

Saying this, Laojun looked at Tang An again. Forget it, he couldn't bear to look, he simply couldn't bear to look.

Laojun shook his head helplessly and continued his meditation.

Mortal World, Jindou Mountain, inside Jindou Cave.

The Qingshijing released all the magic treasures, piling them up to fill the mountaintop.

"Those gods aren't as powerful as you say; they are nothing more than that."

"Yes, yes, yes, you, Great King Qingshijing, are the most powerful." Tang An flattered him while picking up magic treasures from the ground.

It didn't matter; as long as she picked them up, they were hers. Anyway, what she was confiscating was stolen goods.

As for the gods who couldn't find their treasures afterward, what did that have to do with her, Tang An?

"It's Great King Dujiao Si." The Qingshijing didn't care at all whether Tang An picked up the treasures; he only cared about correcting Tang An's form of address.

Anyway, those treasures weren't his.

"Fine, fine, fine, Great King Dujiao Si." Tang An turned back and gave him a thumbs-up. "You are the best, the most powerful, the most invincible; you are invincible to the extreme!"

Under the wave after wave of Tang An's flattery, the Qingshijing's bull tail was almost pointing to the sky.

Laojun's instructions had already been completely cast to the back of his mind.

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

"Bang!"

The Jade Emperor slapped the table and stood up, shocked to the point of speechlessness, anxious and infuriated.

"They were all taken?"

"All taken."

"Completely taken?"

"Completely taken." Yang Jian answered calmly.

"No..." The Jade Emperor was both angry and anxious, his blood pressure soaring. "Where did such a monster come from to have such divine powers?"

Yang Jian and Nezha exchanged a knowing look, then their eyes glanced imperceptibly in the direction of Doushuai Palace.

Of course, they would definitely not say it out loud at this time, nor would they reveal anything.

Their own matters hadn't been resolved yet; how could they let the Jade Emperor resolve the Qingshijing first?

Nezha cupped his hands in a salute. "I request that Your Majesty issue an edict for the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King to lead troops as reinforcements."

The Jade Emperor looked at Nezha. Since when was he so polite?

However, that wasn't important right now. What was important was: would Li Jing's pagoda be taken by the Qingshijing the moment he went down?

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Others may not know the capabilities of that pagoda, but I, Nezha, certainly do."

"With the pagoda there, it will surely be able to suppress that monster."

Yang Jian also spoke at this time. "Your Majesty, only by subduing that Qingshijing can we give the gods an explanation."

Hearing Yang Jian say this, the gods were so moved they knelt on the spot, begging the Jade Emperor to issue an edict for Li Jing to subdue the Qingshijing.

After all, those were all their magic treasures; if they couldn't get them back, the loss would be too great.

Facing the pressure from the gods, it would be a lie to say the Jade Emperor felt no pressure.

However, the Jade Emperor still looked at Nezha. "You..."

Nezha remembered Tang An's words and immediately interrupted the Jade Emperor.

"If Your Majesty is worried, you can send another one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals down."

"If I have any suspicious movements, Li Heavenly King only needs to say one word, and even if I, Nezha, have three heads and six arms, I won't be able to move a hair of his."

Saying this, Nezha looked at the gods again. "The gods lost their magic treasures because of the tribulations on our journey to the West. I, Nezha, feel ashamed and have failed the gods."

Upon hearing this, the gods waved their hands, flattered and surprised.

Why was the Third Prince so good at speaking today? Why was his attitude unexpectedly good?

"I request that Your Majesty agree to the Third Prince's request. We trust the Third Prince's character."

"I request that Your Majesty agree to the Third Prince's request..."

"I second that."

"This minister seconds that~"

"This old minister seconds that."

Facing the pressure from the gods, although the Jade Emperor had concerns, he knew it was time to appease the public anger.

"Fine, go invite Li Heavenly King, summon the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Nine Luminaries Star Officials, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Five Directions Jiedi, and the Four Duty Gongcao to hurry to the mortal world and capture the demon!"

"Remember, do not reveal your magic treasures casually." This sentence from the Jade Emperor was specifically to remind Li Jing.

After all, he always felt this matter was strangely odd, though he hadn't figured out exactly where it was odd. Therefore, he could only urge Li Jing to hold his pagoda tightly.

By the time they redeployed troops and arrived again, more than seven days had passed in the mortal world.

Since returning from the Heavenly Court last time, Sun Wukong had been on Jindou Mountain, secretly protecting Tang An's safety.

As for Tang An and Jiuyue, they had eaten until they were almost a circle fatter in these seven days.

What was wrong with the Bull? He was just a polite, sensible Bull who knew how to treat them to good food and drink.

Those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were really something, why did they have to go and fight the Bull for no reason? They were really impolite.

When she thought about these things, she truly had no psychological burden at all. It seemed as if those troubles in the sky really had nothing to do with her. ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
