Chapter 157: A Few Things About Red Boy and Taishang Laojun

Upon hearing Red Boy's words, everyone curled their lips in disdain.

The reason they curled their lips was that they didn't believe a single word Red Boy said.

First point: a kidnapped child whose cry for help could travel so far? This didn't look like someone who had been kidnapped.

Second point: where were the people who kidnapped him? Don't tell me they left first!

Third point: you, with a ruddy complexion, clear speech, calm expression, and logical flow—how could you look like someone who had been kidnapped?

Therefore, upon hearing Red Boy's words, everyone remained silent and made no move; they just watched Red Boy quietly.

Noticing the gazes and actions of the crowd, Red Boy was stunned for a moment, and then he knew he had been exposed, but he didn't panic.

"How did you discover me?" Red Boy looked at Xuanzang and the others with curiosity.

"Little child, you probably haven't lived among the human race, have you?" Yang Jian looked at Red Boy with a smile, but his hand behind his back was already suffused with magic power, ready to strike at any time.

"No!" Red Boy shook his head.

"That's right." Everyone smiled.

Red Boy didn't understand why Yang Jian would ask this, but his exposure was very likely because of this.

Thinking of this, Red Boy wanted to kidnap Xuanzang directly, but seeing the demons behind him, he dismissed this thought.

The next second, a flash of fire wrapped around Red Boy. Everyone immediately summoned their weapons, ready for battle. Fortunately, Red Boy did not attack Xuanzang, and after the fire disappeared, Red Boy had vanished from the spot.

"This little child is quite sensible!" After Red Boy escaped, Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"Do you think this little child will block us in this Dry Pine Stream?" Ao Mo'ang asked at this moment.

"Probably not, right? We have at least over a thousand people, and he's not stupid." Princess Long Ji rolled her eyes at Ao Mo'ang.

"That's true. This little child didn't attack Master Xuanzang just now, so he probably won't later either." Xiaoyue said.

"But I am quite curious about this little child." Dapeng suddenly said.

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

"First point: this little child has Samadhi True Fire. Second point: this little child has the aura of Six-Ding Divine Fire. Third point: didn't you notice that this little child has a trace of Jie Sect fortune?" Dapeng looked at Xuanzang and the others with a smile.

"We didn't really pay attention to that." Yang Jian shook his head.

"And the last point, which is also the point I am most curious about: this little child not only has Jie Sect fortune, but also Sea of Blood fortune." When mentioning the Sea of Blood fortune, a smile appeared on the corner of Dapeng's mouth.

"Hiss! This little child is quite something!" Upon hearing Dapeng say this, everyone gasped.

Not to mention the Six-Ding Divine Fire, just the two things—Jie Sect and Sea of Blood—were enough to make everyone imagine for a long time.

"Since this little child is so interesting, let's explore his background properly." Ao Mo'ang said with a smile.

"Okay!" Sun Wukong nodded.

"Then let's stay in the vicinity for now." Xuanzang said. To be honest, Xuanzang was also quite curious about this little child.

Action followed thought. Sun Wukong immediately pulled out a monkey hair and transformed it into a row of luxurious residences.

After settling down, Yang Jian and the others didn't immediately go to explore the little child's secrets, but rested for a while. Anyway, they had already remembered the little child's aura, so he couldn't escape.

This could also be considered finding some fun on the boring scripture-seeking journey.

The next day!

Led by Dapeng, and assisted by Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Ao Mo'ang, the few of them headed into the depths of Dry Pine Stream to find the little child from yesterday.

It was mainly because if Xuanzang and the others acted together, the target would be too large, so they dispatched Dapeng and the others to explore, and then return to tell them.

Soon, Yang Jian and the others found the Fire Cloud Cave. They didn't disturb the little child, but transformed into small flying insects and flew into the Fire Cloud Cave.

At this time, in the Fire Cloud Cave, Red Boy seemed to have forgotten about yesterday's events; he was riding on the back of the Earth Deity, playing. This scene was just seen by Yang Jian and the others who had flown in.

"This little child's identity is indeed not simple. This Earth Deity is at least a minor official of the Heavenly Court. Now that the Heavenly Court is controlled by the Demon Race, their methods are much tougher than when Haotian was there, and the current Heavenly Court is very protective of its own. If it weren't for an unusual identity, he wouldn't dare to bully the Earth Deity like this." Yang Jian looked at the Earth Deity being ridden like a horse and transmitted his voice.

"Can a person who carries the imprints of three major forces be a minor character?" Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"That's true. We are just here to explore this little child's secret. If his identity were very ordinary, we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths." Ao Mo'ang also said.

Soon, Red Boy got bored, and then he got off the Earth Deity's back.

"You can go." Red Boy waved his hand.

"Great King Saint Infant, this old one takes his leave!" The Earth Deity bowed to Red Boy, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and drilled into the ground.

"Sigh!" After the Earth Deity left, Red Boy let out a heavy sigh.

"Great King, is there something troubling you?" Seeing Red Boy sigh, a small demon on the side quickly came up to ask.

Red Boy glanced at the small demon beside him. He originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it. He turned around and lay on the throne on the high platform, and before long, the sound of even breathing came out.

"Let's go, let's go find the Earth Deity and ask about the situation first. This Earth Deity was actually willing to be bullied, which means he knows the little child's identity." Seeing Red Boy asleep, Dapeng said to the crowd.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

After flying out of the Fire Cloud Cave, they immediately summoned the Earth Deity.

"This old one has seen the Immortals!" Seeing Dapeng and the others, the Earth Deity quickly bowed.

"Earth Deity, what is the background of the demon in this Fire Cloud Cave? Why do you fear him so much?" Seeing the Earth Deity, Sun Wukong asked.

"To inform the Immortals, this place is called Hao Mountain, Dry Pine Stream. In this Dry Pine Stream, there is a demon cave called Fire Cloud Cave. The Great King in the cave is named Red Boy, also known as Great King Saint Infant." The Earth Deity looked at Yang Jian and the others and began to babble on.

"Get to the point." Dapeng interrupted the Earth Deity's words.

"This Great King Saint Infant is the son of the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan, so this old one simply didn't dare to resist him." The Earth Deity said.

"Bull Demon King? Princess Iron Fan? Who are they?" Dapeng and Yang Jian had a faint guess in their hearts, but they still wanted to hear the Earth Deity say it himself.

"This Bull Demon King is the mount of the Jie Sect's Tongtian Jiaozhu. Later, for some unknown reason, he became a Demon King, calling himself the Heaven-Leveling Great Sage Bull Demon King. I heard he also has five brothers." The Earth Deity said.

"Then this Princess Iron Fan?" Ao Mo'ang asked.

"This Princess Iron Fan is rumored to be a princess of the Sea of Blood, the daughter most beloved by Ancestor Minghe, but for some unknown reason, she became the Bull Demon King's wife, and even gave birth to a child for him. This child is that Great King Saint Infant."

"So that's it!" Upon hearing the Earth Deity say this, the confusion in everyone's hearts was finally resolved.

The Jie Sect fortune and Sea of Blood fortune on this Red Boy should come from the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan. Then where did the aura of this Samadhi True Fire and Six-Ding Divine Fire come from?
