Chapter 148: Scripture Seekers Who Remain Stunned
After Xuanzang and the others were transferred out, Yang Jian and the other two looked at each other, anger flashing in their eyes.
Boom—
The three of them, Peng included, simultaneously erupted with the aura of Da Luo Golden Immortals. After the aura of the Da Luo Golden Immortals erupted, they briefly broke free from the suction of the purple-gold red gourd and the mutton-fat jade clean bottle.
After getting rid of the suction, the three of them instantly arrived beside Golden Horn and Silver Horn. Seeing this, Golden Horn and Silver Horn hurriedly raised their weapons to resist, but how could they be the opponents of Yang Jian and the others?
With just one strike, the two of them were knocked flying by Yang Jian and the three others. While in the air, they spat out a large mist of blood, and when they landed, their consciousness was already a bit unclear.
"Demon Saint Bai Ze!" After his consciousness disappeared, King Silver Horn roared at the sky and then fainted.
Bai Ze on Mount Pingding frowned slightly after hearing King Silver Horn's roar, but in the end, he still chose not to make a move. His original intention was not to block Xuanzang, so he would not offend Xuanzang at all.
Bai Ze's only purpose here was to watch Xuanzang receive these Demon Race disciples and then embark on the westward path, so that in some future period, the Demon Race could share a piece of the pie in this Great Calamity.
On the way to Mount Pingding, the expression of the Yalong Great Immortal suddenly changed, and the next second she disappeared from the sedan chair, which made Jingxi Gui and Lingli Chong look at each other in dismay for a while.
"This..."
"Let's run away, otherwise if the Great King and the Second Great King find out that we didn't bring the Old Madam back after we go back, they definitely won't let us go." Lingli Chong rolled his eyes and said.
"Good!" Jingxi Gui thought about it and felt that what Lingli Chong said made sense. The Old Madam was missing now, and going back would be death, so it would be better to run away now; at least they could survive.
After receiving Jingxi Gui's reply, the two demons threw away the sedan chair directly and disappeared here in a few breaths.
These two demons made the wisest choice by mistake. If they went back now, there would only be death; if they ran away, they would really survive.
After the Yalong Great Immortal disappeared from the sedan chair of Jingxi Gui and Lingli Chong, she appeared again on Mount Pingding, and at this time, Yang Jian was holding his three-pointed two-edged blade, preparing to kill Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
As for whether killing them would make the Saint Taishang Laojun angry, this was not within Yang Jian's consideration. After all, even if the Saint Taishang Laojun was angry, he couldn't return to the Primordial World. Tang Valley only had a clone of the Saint Taishang Laojun, Taishang Laojun, and Taishang Laojun only had the strength of a peak Quasi-Saint. Yang Jian's master could solve this trouble.
But just as Yang Jian's weapon fell, an attack flew from afar, directly knocking the three-pointed two-edged blade away.
Everyone looked back and saw a middle-aged woman dressed in goose-yellow palace attire, still possessing charm, appearing in the distance.
"Quasi-Saint!" After this woman appeared, Peng and the others immediately became vigilant. The woman in front of them was actually a Quasi-Saint, and it seemed like she was here to save Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
After this woman knocked Yang Jian's weapon away, she arrived beside Golden Horn and Silver Horn in the blink of an eye.
Afterwards, this woman waved her hand gently, and Golden Horn and Silver Horn woke up leisurely. Then this woman waved her hand again, and the purple-gold red gourd and the mutton-fat jade clean bottle appeared in her hands. It was obvious that she was the one controlling the two spiritual treasures before.
"Godmother!" After seeing the person who came, Golden Horn and Silver Horn called out in surprise.
"Godmother?" Yang Jian and the others were stunned by the address of Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
Golden Horn and Silver Horn were the boy attendants of the Saint Taishang Laojun. Someone who could make them willingly call her Godmother must not be simple.
"Hmm? People from Qingqiu?" After seeing this woman, Pan Huang's brows immediately furrowed.
The Fox Clan of Qingqiu had been allied with the human race since the time of King Yu. The Fox Clan of Qingqiu would only marry human cultivators, but what was going on with this woman in front of them?
Pan Huang originally came to eat melons, but now it seemed that the appearance of this Qingqiu clansman was definitely not an accident.
In Pan Huang's previous life, this Yalong Great Immortal was just an ordinary yellow-haired fox, but the woman in front of him was obviously a nine-tailed red fox, a royal family of Qingqiu.
Qingqiu had two major clans: one was the Tushan clan, and Tushan Nüjiao was the clan leader of this clan; the other clan was the Su clan. The most famous person from this Su clan was Su Daji, but the Su Daji of this life did not appear in Zhaoge.
In Qingqiu, the Tushan clan were white foxes, which were the imperial family, while the Su clan were red foxes, which were the royal family. This Qingqiu Fox Clan, which was originally allied with the human race, actually appeared on Mount Pingding and had an unclear relationship with the Saint Taishang Laojun, which made it hard for Pan Huang not to associate it with other things.
After all, Laojun was a person who could even fool Duobao for the sake of fortune, so fooling a Qingqiu Fox Clan shouldn't be a difficult task.
Just as Pan Huang was thinking about whether the Saint Taishang Laojun had any other plots, the woman in palace attire spoke: "Leave now, and I can pretend that this matter never happened."
After hearing the words of the woman in palace attire, Golden Horn and Silver Horn wanted to refute something, but in the end, they opened their mouths and said nothing.
"Nothing happened? That sounds nice!" After hearing the woman's words, Yang Jian snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Just a mere Quasi-Saint, it's not like we haven't seen one!" Peng also snorted coldly.
After hearing the words of Yang Jian and Peng, a trace of anger flashed on the face of the woman in palace attire.
"Then what do you want?" The woman in palace attire said coldly.
"Kill!" Peng said coldly.
"Some people, some things, you can't afford the consequences!" The woman in palace attire looked at Peng, her eyes cold.
"Hahaha! There is no consequence in this Primordial World that my Ren Sect cannot afford." Yang Jian said disdainfully.
"If your Ren Sect can afford it, what about the human race?"
"Are you threatening us?" Peng's eyes narrowed.
The expressions of Yang Jian and Sun Wukong also instantly darkened. They didn't expect that the fox demon in front of them would dare to threaten them with the human race. What great courage!
"It seems I have to go find Dayu and Nüjiao. How many years has it been, and people from Qingqiu dare to say this?" After hearing what the Qingqiu fox demon said, Pan Huang said coldly.
"Husband, leave this matter to us. You are a Saint now, so you don't need to come forward for this kind of thing." Chang Xi said.
"Hmm!" Pan Huang thought for a moment and nodded.
"I am Su Wan'er of the Qingqiu royal family. I think what I said still carries some weight." Su Wan'er looked at Yang Jian and the three others and said coldly.
"Very good! It seems I have to go find Senior Brother Dayu to have a good talk." After hearing Su Wan'er's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Peng's face.
Hearing Peng's words, there was a trace of unnaturalness on Su Wan'er's face, but she hid it very well.
"Get lost!" After Peng finished speaking, Yang Jian said at this time.
Because they really didn't dare to make decisions on their own. If they left Golden Horn and Silver Horn here, causing some accident between the human race and Qingqiu, they really couldn't afford the consequences.
"Hmph!" Hearing Yang Jian's words, Su Wan'er knew that her previous words had played a certain role, so she snorted coldly and left with Golden Horn and Silver Horn.
Tang Valley.
Taishang Laojun didn't speak, but his expression was a bit ugly. Su Wan'er doing this would easily expose him to some people, and then the things he was plotting would be exposed.
"Sigh! Let's take it one step at a time." In the end, Taishang Laojun sighed.
Bai Ze had been paying attention to the situation of Xuanzang and the others. Seeing that Golden Horn and Silver Horn were saved by Su Wan'er, Bai Ze knew that it was his turn next.
"Change the plan set before, you guys decide for yourselves. Remember, you must join the scripture-seeking team, and I will also speak for you." Bai Ze said to the minor demons beside him.
After hearing this, the minor demons nodded and then disappeared from the spot. He had to convey Bai Ze's words to the ears of those Demon Race members as quickly as possible, otherwise, if the matter was delayed, Demon Saint Bai Ze would not let him go.
Very quickly, Bai Ze's words were known to the Demon Race. In fact, they had also been paying attention to Xuanzang and the others. When they saw the fate of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, they actually didn't have much thought about fighting Xuanzang and the others and then becoming disciples.
But becoming disciples directly seemed a bit degrading, so these Demon Race members had been struggling, until they heard this sentence from Bai Ze, and everyone had a plan of their own in their hearts.
After Golden Horn and Silver Horn were saved, Peng and the others returned to Xuanzang's side.
"That Golden Horn and Silver Horn were saved by the fox demon from Qingqiu." After seeing Xuanzang, Peng said.
"Qingqiu? How could Qingqiu have anything to do with Golden Horn and Silver Horn?" Ao Mo'ang was a bit puzzled. Wasn't Qingqiu an ally of the human race? How could it have anything to do with the Demon Sect?
"This is also where we are puzzled. Do you know what Golden Horn and Silver Horn called that fox demon?" Yang Jian asked at this time.
"What?" Everyone asked curiously.
"Golden Horn and Silver Horn called that fox demon from Qingqiu Godmother. They are the boy attendants of the Saint Taishang Laojun. Someone who can make them willingly call her Godmother, the hidden identity of this fox demon must be unusual. In the end, we let this fox demon take Golden Horn and Silver Horn away." Sun Wukong said.
"After passing this Mount Pingding, I plan to go to Qingqiu to see Senior Brother Dayu and ask what is going on. I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it looks on the surface." Peng said.
"Then let's go. There are even greater difficulties waiting for us on this Mount Pingding." Xuanzang nodded.
"Also, let's get over the difficulties in front of us first." Yang Jian looked at the Quasi-Saint aura on Mount Pingding and said with a smile.
Very quickly, Xuanzang and the others arrived at the top of the mountain, and then they saw Bai Ze and Jimeng on the top of the mountain.
"Greetings, Holy Monk, greetings, fellow Daoists." Bai Ze smiled and bowed when he saw Xuanzang and the others.
Although Jimeng was not as kind as Bai Ze, he also symbolically bowed to everyone, which made Xuanzang and the others stunned. This was a bit different from the scene they imagined!
"What is going on? It seems a bit different from what we imagined!" Sun Wukong quickly transmitted his voice to everyone.
"I don't know, let's take a look first. As far as the current situation is concerned, they don't seem to have any hostility towards us." Peng transmitted his voice.
"Then what should we do next?" Ao Mo'ang asked.
"Ask them their purpose first. They must have some purpose for waiting here." Xuanzang thought for a moment and said.
The reason why Xuanzang said this was also because of Peng and the others. Didn't they join the scripture-seeking team for merit and Western fortune? Then maybe Demon Saint Bai Ze and the others here now also had such purposes to a greater or lesser extent.
"I wonder if Demon Saint Bai Ze has any instructions for waiting for us here?" Xuanzang walked out and bowed to Bai Ze to ask.
"Holy Monk, we of the Demon Race want to make friends with the Holy Monk." Bai Ze said with a smile.
"Make friends? How so?" Xuanzang frowned. What kind of medicine was in Demon Saint Bai Ze's gourd?
"I have settled quite a few of my Demon Race clansmen on this road from Mount Pingding to Wuji Kingdom. The Holy Monk can take them under your command. When necessary, they might be able to bring the Holy Monk quite a bit of help." Bai Ze looked at Xuanzang and said.
Hearing Bai Ze's words, a flash of light flashed in Xuanzang's eyes. To be honest, he was moved. If he could have the help of this batch of Demon Race, when he arrived at Mount Ling, he would have enough confidence.
"Then many thanks to Demon Saint Bai Ze." Xuanzang bowed with a smile.
"Holy Monk is too polite. Although this poor Daoist brought these Demon Race disciples, whether they are willing to follow the Holy Monk depends on the Saint's ability."
"Rest assured!" A confident smile appeared on Xuanzang's face.
"Then this poor Daoist will take his leave. I hope the Holy Monk can return fully loaded." Bai Ze bowed and left Mount Pingding with Jimeng.
"I didn't expect it to be like this in the end. To be honest, I am a little stunned." After Bai Ze and the others left, the Black Bear Spirit said.
"Actually, we are still a bit confused until now. At first, we thought there would be a tough battle to fight, but we didn't expect it to be this result in the end. This really made us a bit stunned." Ao Mo'ang said with a smile.
"Since there is no tough battle to fight, let's take a rest first, and then continue on our way to see how many Demon Race members we can subdue along the way." Xuanzang said with a smile.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded.
A day later, Xuanzang and the others set off again.
After coming down from Mount Pingding, they encountered a wolf demon, and the strength of this wolf demon was at the Golden Immortal realm.
"Is the person coming the monk going to the Western Heaven to seek scriptures?" The wolf demon asked after seeing Xuanzang and the others.
"Exactly!" Xuanzang smiled.
"I want to join the Holy Monk's team. I wonder if the Holy Monk is willing to accept me?" The wolf demon asked.
"Yes!" Xuanzang nodded.
After receiving Xuanzang's response, an excited expression appeared on the wolf demon's face: "Greetings, Holy Monk!"
"No need for formalities." Xuanzang quickly helped the wolf demon up.
"I want to take you as a disciple. I wonder if you are willing?" After helping the wolf demon up, Xuanzang said.
"Ah?" This wolf demon didn't react for a while. There was no item about becoming a disciple in the things Demon Saint Bai Ze ordered!
"You should have heard a piece of news, that is, eating my flesh can lead to immortality and bring the dead back to life, right?" Seeing the wolf demon hesitating, Xuanzang asked.
"Indeed, we have indeed heard this rumor." The wolf demon nodded.
"You become my disciple, and I will give you my flesh and blood as a meeting gift." Xuanzang at this time was like a strange uncle coaxing a child with a candied hawthorn, and that wolf demon was like a child holding a candied hawthorn.
"Can I?" The wolf demon swallowed hard.
"Of course!"
"Master, disciple Xiaoyue kowtows to you!" After receiving Xuanzang's reply, the wolf demon Xiaoyue knelt down without saying a word.
"Good disciple! Good disciple!" Xuanzang quickly helped Xiaoyue up.
After helping Xiaoyue up, Xuanzang grabbed his left arm and tore it off directly, and blood sprayed out instantly.
But the next second, the sprayed blood floated in the air. Xuanzang stroked the severed arm unhurriedly, and the blood stopped immediately. There was a glowing white light at the wound, which was preparing to grow an arm.
