Chapter 175

Benbo'erba pointed at his own face, his two protruding eyes becoming cross-eyed.

"Fuma, do you mean that we two spirits who haven't even fully taken human form should go and deal with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Judicial God, and the Great God of the Three Altars of the Sea, is that it???"

This was the first time he had felt such a shocking doubt about the meaning of "fish life."

Babo'erben also hurriedly said: "Fuma, not to mention the numbers, even if we were one-on-one, we'd still be one short."

"And just looking at the cultivation level, even if we added ourselves together, we wouldn't be a match for any one of those three; there's simply no comparison at all!"

Jiutou Chong snorted coldly. "A mere four pilgrims, look at how scared you two have become!"

"A? A mere?" Benbo'erba's voice of breakdown seemed even louder. "You call the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who fought ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals by himself and turned the Heavenly Court upside down, a mere person?"

"Or do you call the Judicial God who upholds the Heavenly Law of the Three Realms and is the Jade Emperor's own nephew a mere person?"

"Or do you call the Great God of the Three Altars of the Sea, who commands the three armies, sliced noodles with a knife at Chentang Pass, and later plotted to kill Li Jing and steal the pagoda, a mere person?"

Babo'erben added, "Fuma, we are the 'mere' ones."

"Go!" Jiutou Chong flicked his sleeve. "How dare you two boost others' morale and dampen your own?"

Babo'erben wiped his sweat. "Fuma, we aren't dampening our own morale, you are the one dampening our own people's morale."

Benbo'erba didn't speak, just nodded in empathy.

Jiutou Chong snorted. "You are truly as timid as mice, not knowing that only by taking risks can one achieve great things."

"The four of them have traveled all this way without eating any monsters who are Destined Ones; it's clear they are mounts sent down by the Heavenly Court or the Western Heaven Lingshan who don't dare to eat the Destined One."

"And those wild spirits who don't know any better must have been dragging their feet, not knowing the reputation of the Destined One's three disciples, which gave them the chance to save people."

"Once we kidnap the Destined One, we don't need to take her life, just carve off a bowl of her meat."

"Afterward, when those three great gods come looking and get angry, don't forget, this is the Wansheng Longwang's mansion."

Jiutou Chong had a sinister air, his smile even more venomous.

Benbo'erba and Babo'erben exchanged a glance; they wanted to smile too, but they couldn't smile at all.

They wanted to live more, but the Fuma was determined to drag them to their deaths!

Jisaiguo.

Tang An was dressed in a white, ethereal outfit that looked like a Daoist robe. Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha followed behind her.

Behind them were the monks who had been imprisoned and were prepared to be taken out for execution at noon.

Although Tang An didn't like the ways of Buddhism, monks were ultimately ordinary mortals, and these were many innocent lives.

To have innocent mortals wrongly punished and lose their lives just to vent the anger of those in power over a pearl stolen by a monster.

Sun Wukong was the first one who couldn't stand to see such a thing.

Therefore, they very straightforwardly raided the execution ground and saved all the monks who had been imprisoned and beaten.

Then, they brought them all to the King of Jisaiguo, prepared to teach this foolish King a lesson.

"Who dares to save the criminal monks? What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take them down." The person speaking was the leader of the guards watching the palace gate.

And as for those bailiffs and soldiers who had followed Tang An and her group all the way because the execution ground had been raided, did they not want to take action?

They did take action, but no matter how they tried, it was as if they had hit an invisible wall; they couldn't get close to Tang An's group at all, including the monks.

Tang An didn't care how those people wanted to take action; she simply moved a Grand Master Chair to the middle of the palace gate and sat down.

"Do you mean to say that you want to capture the Princess of Great Tang and go to war with Great Tang, is that it?"

She leaned against the back of the chair, her body tilted slightly, and took out her Princess identity token, dangling it from her middle finger. Her beautiful eyes were lowered, looking only at the token, yet it gave the guard leader in front of her a strong sense of oppression unique to a superior.

The lead guard didn't know whether to stop them or not.

He wanted to take the token to check if it was real, but because Sun Wukong and the others were guarding the side, he couldn't get close to Tang An at all.

"Let your King come out to see me."

"He has the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn to consider this; after one stick of incense, if he still doesn't appear, this Princess will immediately send a message back by carrier pigeon."

"My Great Tang Iron Cavalry should be able to flatten your Jisaiguo in just a few days."

After finishing, Tang An closed her eyes to rest, not saying another word.

It seemed she didn't care at all whether the guard went to report to the King or whether the King would come out.

The guard leader hesitated repeatedly; he didn't dare to make such a big decision, so he could only hurry to report to the King.

Jisaiguo, inside the royal palace hall.

The King stood up abruptly. "What? The Princess of Great Tang is here?"

"Judging by that person's aura and the token, it's eighty percent real."

"She even saved all the monks? And brought all the monks here?"

"Yes."

The King stood up abruptly, feeling a mix of fear, humiliation, and a loss of face.

"Does she think my Jisaiguo has no military generals left? Does she think my Jisaiguo is afraid of her Great Tang?"

"She brought so many damned monks here, isn't she just trying to slap this King in the face?"

"Go, go bring her here; this King wants to ask her properly what exactly she intends to do."

The guard leader was speechless for a moment and didn't go down to call anyone.

The King was displeased and asked, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you get out and bring her here?"

The guard leader knelt down to reply, "Your Majesty, she said... she said she's right there, waiting for you to go see her in person."

"And, she'll only wait for you for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn."

"Clatter!"

Hearing such arrogant words, the King, in a fit of rage, pushed everything off the long table in front of him. "Arrogant! Truly too arrogant!"

The guard leader was so scared he lowered his head, feeling as if he were risking his life to give advice. "Your Majesty, she also said that after one stick of incense, if Your Majesty has not appeared, she will immediately write to the Emperor of Great Tang, letting the Great Tang Iron Cavalry trample our Jisaiguo."

"Presumptuous!!!"

The King had nothing left to throw, so he flipped the entire long table over.

"Does she really think my Jisaiguo has no fierce generals to fight against Great Tang?" The King was so angry his chest was heaving.

The guard leader hesitated...

"Say what you want to say!"

"Your Majesty." Cold sweat broke out on the guard leader's back. "That Great Tang is said to be protected by the Kuimulang of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and they have never lost a battle on the battlefield."

"And there's also the God of War, Li Jing; his military genius and ferocity are rarely seen in the world."

"I fear Jisaiguo is..."

"Crash~"

The King threw a vase in front of the guard leader; the shattered pieces cut a long gash on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, and for the sake of the peace of my Jisaiguo, please humble yourself and go see that Princess of Great Tang."

"After all, whether it's true or false is not yet known, is it?"

The King of Jisaiguo seemed to have a sudden idea. "Hmph, take this King there then."

At the main palace gate, Tang An was still leaning on the Grand Master Chair, eyes closed for a nap.

"They're here." Nezha said.

Tang An opened her eyes slowly, unable to hide the excitement in them.

Yes, the new territory of Great Tang was walking right toward her.
