Chapter 159: Black Water River, Demon King Jiao?
Upon hearing Minghe ask this, Pan Huang nodded with a smile.
"That's right. I know a little bit about your personality, Fellow Daoist. If I hadn't come today, you would have definitely sent someone to Cuiyun Mountain, right? Or directly summoned Princess Iron Fan back. Am I right?" Pan Huang looked at Minghe and asked.
"That's right!" Minghe nodded.
"Drink, drink!" Upon hearing Minghe say this, Pan Huang said with a smile.
Since he had already come, the things he was worried about wouldn't happen, so now the most important thing was to reminisce and taste wine.
"Hahaha, right, drink, drink." Seeing Pan Huang say this, Minghe also laughed.
After staying with Minghe for a few days, Pan Huang took his leave. He came here mainly to persuade Minghe not to act rashly. Once they found Taishang Laojun's handle, they could immediately strangle Taishang Laojun's plan. If Minghe were impulsive now, he would be making a wedding dress for Taishang Laojun.
"Fellow Daoist, farewell." Outside the Sea of Blood, Pan Huang bowed to Minghe.
"Go slowly!" Minghe also bowed to Pan Huang.
"Send someone to Cuiyun Mountain to monitor Rakshasa Girl for this Ancestor. This Ancestor wants to know her every move. Also, monitor that evil obstacle." After Pan Huang left, Minghe's expression instantly turned gloomy.
"Yes, Ancestor!" Di Shitian bowed to Minghe.
"Right, also the Kui Ox." Ancestor Minghe said again.
"Yes!" Di Shitian nodded.
"Hmph!" After giving the instructions, Minghe snorted coldly, and only then did he feel a little better.
If it weren't for Pan Huang and the Howling Celestial Dog today, he would still be kept in the dark. By the time he knew, it would probably be too late.
"It's best not to let this Ancestor catch a handle. If this Ancestor catches a handle, your avatar will stay in this Sea of Blood as fertilizer." Minghe muttered to himself.
On the other side, after Pan Huang and the others came out of the Sea of Blood, they headed straight for the Women's Kingdom.
After arriving at the Women's Kingdom, Pan Huang hid his figure, and then the three of them set up a small shop in the Women's Kingdom to live the life of mortals.
"Husband, this Women's Kingdom is truly special. There isn't a single man." Xihe looked at the surroundings with curiosity.
"Did you see the Mother-Child River outside the Women's Kingdom?" Pan Huang looked at the two sisters and asked.
"Is there a problem with that Mother-Child River?" Changxi asked.
"The problem is huge." Pan Huang said with a smile.
"The reason the water of that Mother-Child River makes people here pregnant is because the river water contains very vast power of creation. If I'm not mistaken, the source of this Mother-Child River is very likely the mud pool where Nüwa created humans back then." Pan Huang rubbed his chin and said.
"Ah!" The two sisters were surprised.
"What's there to be surprised about?" Pan Huang said with a smile.
"It just feels very magical. This is the first time we have come into such close contact with the power of creation." Changxi said with a smile.
"Once we find the source of the Mother-Child River, you two can each take some of the source water to refine. It should have quite a few benefits for you. After your strength reaches the peak of Quasi-Saint, you can become Saints in my inner world." Pan Huang said.
"Hmm!" The two nodded.
After the shop in the Women's Kingdom got on the right track, Pan Huang took the Xihe sisters to find the source of the Mother-Child River.
After Nüwa successfully created humans back then, she didn't bother with that mud pool. Pan Huang hadn't thought of this back then, so he didn't bother with it either. He didn't expect that the mud pool would eventually evolve into this.
Three days later.
"Strange." Looking at the void before them, Xihe said.
They had been following the Mother-Child River to find the source for three days. After finding this place, the Mother-Child River simply disappeared. There was only a small spring on the ground. It was very clear that this spring was simply not the source of the Mother-Child River.
Because the spring water flowing out of this spring didn't have any power of creation at all. It was only after they flowed out for a distance that they very abruptly possessed the power of creation.
"Interesting!" Pan Huang said with a smile.
"Husband, what is going on?" Changxi asked.
"It should be hidden in the void. Let me explore it." After Pan Huang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to sense.
If the source of this Mother-Child River was really the mud pool where humans were created back then, Pan Huang should be able to sense its location. After all, when humans were created back then, Pan Huang had dripped essence blood into the mud pool.
Although so many years had passed, relying on that vague connection, Pan Huang should also be able to find the source of the Mother-Child River.
Not long after, a smile appeared on the corner of Pan Huang's mouth, because he had sensed the source of the Mother-Child River.
"It's here." Pan Huang said, and the next second his hand was inserted into the void.
After a few breaths, a crack appeared before them.
"Let's go, let's go in and see." Pan Huang said to the Changxi sisters.
After entering this void, what came into view was a mud pool that was neither big nor small. There was some green grass around the mud pool, and the outside of the green grass was a gray expanse. It seemed that the space was only this big.
After Pan Huang and the others entered, the gray expanse around them produced violent tremors, causing the mud pool before them to appear to boil. This was because this small space simply couldn't withstand the power of the three of them.
Seeing this, Pan Huang quickly scooped with his hand, and then took the Changxi sisters out of the space. Subsequently, he used Saint power to seal the place again. From now on, except for him and Nüwa, it was estimated that no third person would discover it.
"Here you go, I'll keep the rest." Looking at the mud ball in his hand, Pan Huang separated two small pieces and handed them to Changxi and Xihe, while the rest was put away by him.
"Okay!" The two of them nodded.
This small piece of mud ball contained extremely vast power of creation. If this mud ball were thrown on the ground now, and it came into contact with the Primordial World's earth vein energy, it would likely turn into a human immediately.
"Let's go, we should go back. The scripture-seeker will still take some time to get here."
After returning to the Women's Kingdom, their life became peaceful, and then the thing the three of them did every day was to use the water mirror to check where Xuanzang and the others were, just like Pan Huang watching TV after eating every day in his past life, very punctual.
When they opened the water mirror today, what appeared before them was a river. This river was somewhat strange; the river water was actually black, looking very eerie.
"Black Water River? It seems it's Ao Mo'ang's home field. Just don't know if this time it's his cousin." Pan Huang muttered in his heart.
"This river water is so strange, it's actually black. Could it be that there is something strange in this river?" By the Black Water River, Sun Wukong looked at the river water before him and said with confusion.
The Black Bear Demon casually picked up a stone, transformed the stone into a stone bowl, and then took a bowl of water from the river. It was indeed as black as ink.
"Truly strange, this is the first time I've seen such a situation." The Black Bear Demon muttered to himself.
"Whether it's strange or not, just go down and take a look." Ao Mo'ang said with a smile.
"Together, together!" In the team, a demon whose true form was a water ape said.
After speaking, he and Ao Mo'ang jumped into the Black Water River. After entering the Black Water River, their vision was not affected at all. The river water in this river was actually not black.
"Truly strange." Ao Mo'ang said.
"Husband, what is going on?" Xihe asked with confusion after seeing the scene in the Black Water River.
"It should be a trick of the eye. Keep watching." Pan Huang said.
In the Black Water River, Ao Mo'ang and the water ape soon saw a water mansion in the middle of the river. This water mansion was built very luxuriously, not inferior to their West Sea Dragon Palace.
"It seems the demon in this Black Water River is not simple. Just this water mansion is not something an ordinary demon could build." The water ape looked at the water mansion before him and said.
"Go and knock on the door first, see what kind of demon this is." Ao Mo'ang said.
Soon, they arrived before the water mansion, and then they were stopped by the guards of the water mansion.
"Where did you little demons come from? Get lost quickly, this is not a place you should come to." The guard before the water mansion gate looked at Ao Mo'ang and the water ape fiercely.
Seeing the attitude of the guard before the water mansion gate, Ao Mo'ang and the water ape immediately frowned. It seemed the demon in this water mansion was not an easy person to talk to, otherwise, the little demon guarding the gate wouldn't have such an attitude.
Ao Mo'ang and the water ape looked at each other, directly took out their weapons, and instantly killed the little demon guarding the gate. After that, the two of them directly fought their way into the water mansion.
In the water mansion, a handsome youth with two horns on his head was drinking. Suddenly, the water mansion shook, and the youth's brow immediately frowned.
"What's going on?"
"Great King, two demons came outside the gate, and they fought their way in. The little ones simply couldn't stop them." A catfish demon ran in, stumbling.
"Trash!" Anger flashed in the youth's eyes, and the next second, the catfish demon exploded on the spot.
The youth opened his mouth and inhaled, and the blood mist after the catfish demon exploded was sucked into the youth's mouth. After smacking his lips twice, a satisfied expression appeared on the youth's face.
"Take my weapon and armor." The youth said coldly.
In the water mansion, the expressions of Ao Mo'ang and the water ape were somewhat unpleasant, because the demon in this water mansion was not weak in strength; basically, they were all in the Earth Immortal realm, and some even reached the Heavenly Immortal realm.
You must know that the wild demons who occupied mountains and called themselves kings in the Primordial World were only at the Earth Immortal or Heavenly Immortal cultivation level. Unexpectedly, Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals here were just small demons.
"Where did you demons come from, actually daring to come to my Black Water River to act wild." Just as Ao Mo'ang and the water ape were thinking, a roar appeared in their ears.
The next second, a youth wearing cyan battle armor and holding a broadsword appeared before Ao Mo'ang and the water ape.
"Ao Yu." Upon seeing this youth, Ao Mo'ang directly called out his name.
"I wondered who it was; so it's the Third Prince of the West Sea. What? Not staying in your West Sea, and running to my Black Water River? Also, this King is not called Ao Yu, this King is called Demon King Jiao." Demon King Jiao looked at Ao Mo'ang with a frosty face.
"You know him?" The water ape looked at Ao Mo'ang with some confusion.
"I know him!" Ao Mo'ang nodded.
"Why are you here?" Ao Mo'ang looked at Demon King Jiao and asked.
"Hmph! Where this King is, it seems your West Sea doesn't have the right to manage, right?" Demon King Jiao said coldly.
"Is it you who turned this Black Water River into this?" Ao Mo'ang didn't dwell on why Demon King Jiao was here, and asked the question they cared about.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Demon King Jiao said coldly.
"We were just curious, so we came down to take a look. Since it's you, then we'll leave now." Ao Mo'ang didn't want to get too entangled with Demon King Jiao, so he said this.
"Get lost!" Demon King Jiao said, and then turned and left.
"Let's go, let's go back too." Ao Mo'ang said.
"Good fellow, it's actually Demon King Jiao. Interesting, Demon King Jiao occupies the Black Water River. Will the others appear later? Truly interesting." After seeing from the water mirror that the demon in the Black Water River was Demon King Jiao, Pan Huang habitually rubbed his chin, and began to mutter in his heart.
"Husband knows this Demon King Jiao?" Seeing the strange expression on Pan Huang's face, Xihe asked.
"Consider it knowing." Pan Huang nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that Pan Huang didn't want to explain, the two sisters didn't intend to ask more. Just keep watching.
"How is it?" After Ao Mo'ang and the water ape went ashore, Yang Jian and the others immediately gathered around to ask.
"There is indeed a Demon King in this Black Water River." Ao Mo'ang nodded.
"Then you..."
"I didn't fight him, because I know him." Ao Mo'ang knew what Yang Jian was going to ask, so he interrupted his words.
"You know him?" Everyone immediately became curious, and even Xuanzang gathered around.
"The Demon King in this Black Water River is named Ao Yu, the illegitimate son of the South Sea Dragon King. His mother was a woman of the Feathered Snake clan, so after Ao Yu was born, his bloodline was impure; he is a Jiao Dragon." Ao Mo'ang looked at the crowd and explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone basically understood. The status of Jiao Dragons in the Dragon clan was very low; Jiao Dragons were all used to pull carts for the Dragon clan.
"Ao Yu was squeezed out in the South Sea since he was a child, and the South Sea Dragon King also loathed him, even indirectly causing the death of Ao Yu's mother. After Ao Yu's mother passed away, Ao Yu left the South Sea. Unexpectedly, he would appear here in the end." Ao Mo'ang's tone was somewhat sighing.
"Since he is someone you know, we won't go and find trouble with him. Everyone, let's cross the river." Xuanzang looked at Ao Mo'ang's sighing face and said.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded. This could be considered giving Ao Mo'ang some face.
"Thank you, Master Xuanzang." Ao Mo'ang bowed to Xuanzang.
Just as Xuanzang and the others were preparing to cross the river, a figure arrived at the Black Water River water mansion. This was none other than Red Boy from Dry Pine Stream.
"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, I've come to see you." As soon as he entered the water mansion, Red Boy shouted.
Upon hearing Red Boy's voice, the gloom on Demon King Jiao's face was immediately replaced by a smile, and then he went out to welcome him.
"Nephew Saint Infant, why do you have time to come to your Second Uncle's place? Is your Dry Pine Stream too boring? No matter, Second Uncle's place is much more fun than yours." Seeing Red Boy, Demon King Jiao picked him up and said with a smile.
"Second Uncle, I'm here to ask for your help." Red Boy looked at Demon King Jiao and said.
"Help? No problem. You say it. As long as it's something Second Uncle can help with, I will definitely help you." Demon King Jiao didn't even ask what the matter was and directly agreed.
