Chapter 177

Upon hearing the words of the Black Bear Spirit and Xuanzang, the group's faces also looked a bit ugly, because Xuanzang was right; they were biased.

After listening to the Queen of the Women's Kingdom's statement and seeing those souls, they naturally thought that what the Queen of the Women's Kingdom said was all correct. After all, she was the Queen of a country.

It was precisely because of this status that they subconsciously ignored many things. Now, after hearing the Black Bear Spirit's account, they instantly felt that many things were somewhat unreasonable.

It was not that they doubted the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, but there were many suspicious places here. The Queen of the Women's Kingdom should be clean; otherwise, the human race's fortune would simply not protect her.

So what they needed to do next was to figure out the matter of the Women's Kingdom and the matter of the Fetus-Falling Spring.

"Yang Jian, you and Wukong go to Jieyang Mountain to understand some things about the Ruyi True Immortal. Dapeng and Mo'ang, come with me to the palace, and Bear, you come with us to the palace." At this time, Xuanzang said to the group.

"Yes!" The group nodded.

First, let's talk about Yang Jian and the others. After separating from Xuanzang, they soon arrived at Jieyang Mountain. When they arrived at the Po'er Cave, the Ruyi True Immortal was already waiting for them.

"Are you waiting specifically for us?" Upon seeing the Ruyi True Immortal, Yang Jian said.

"Exactly!"

"Do you know we are coming?" Sun Wukong continued.

"That Black Bear Spirit also shone brightly on the scripture-seeking journey, so it's impossible for us not to know him. So this seat concluded that you would definitely come." The Ruyi True Immortal said with a smile.

"You are quite smart!" Yang Jian said with a smile.

"Please! As for the things you want to know, this seat will tell you in detail." The Ruyi True Immortal made a gesture of invitation.

After entering the Po'er Cave, Yang Jian and the others found that this Ruyi True Immortal actually had no little demons. The entire Po'er Cave had only him, and the furnishings in the cave were also very simple, not at all like a mountain king who acted recklessly, but rather a cultivator who practiced hard.

"Are you very surprised?" Upon noticing the expressions of Yang Jian and the others, the Ruyi True Immortal said with a smile.

"That's right, we thought you would be a mountain king who acted recklessly." Sun Wukong said without any avoidance.

"This seat was not here to act recklessly. The purpose of this seat guarding here is just to let the Women's Kingdom commit fewer killing sins." The Ruyi True Immortal said.

"Why is this?" Yang Jian was somewhat puzzled.

"Do you want to hear my story?" The Ruyi True Immortal said. He did not use "this seat," but used "I."

"I would like to hear the details!" Yang Jian and Sun Wukong nodded.

"I was originally a small ox raised by the human race. By some coincidence, I opened my wisdom, and then followed my instincts to cultivate until I took human form. After taking human form, I left the place that raised me, but with my strength after taking human form, I had no self-preservation strength in this Primordial World. Soon, I was caught by a mountain king." When saying these things, there was no fluctuation in the Ruyi True Immortal's eyes, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Later, I met the Bull Demon King. He saw that I had some talent, and I was also an ox demon, so he saved me. Later, for some reason, he actually accepted me as his sworn younger brother. Just like that, I inexplicably became the Bull Demon King's younger brother." When saying this, a faint smile that was almost invisible appeared on the corner of the Ruyi True Immortal's mouth.

"What happened later?" Seeing the Ruyi True Immortal stop, Sun Wukong asked while scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Because I became the Bull Demon King's younger brother, my status changed instantly. But I was not free. I don't know why the Bull Demon King did this, but I instinctively thought that this matter was definitely not simple. When I first opened my wisdom, I once heard a sentence among the human race: there is no free lunch in the world, and everything has a price. So after I had some self-preservation strength, I left Jilei Mountain and finally ended up here." The Ruyi True Immortal pointed to the surroundings.

"What happened later?" Yang Jian began to get curious. He wanted to hear what this Ruyi True Immortal could say.

"After coming here, I found that there was heavy resentment here, and this resentment was still the resentment of the human race. You must know that the human race is now the first major race in the Primordial World, and the human race is protected by Saints. Who dares to slaughter the human race on a large scale? Holding this mentality, I stayed here. After observing for a period of time, I discovered the reason for the matter."

"What reason!" Seeing him pause again, Sun Wukong hurriedly asked.

"The resentment here was originally caused by the human race itself, so it was not discovered by the Ren Sect and the Holy Court. I was curious at the time why they wanted to do this, and finally, I discovered the reason." When the Ruyi True Immortal said this, a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

"You seem very angry." Yang Jian said.

"When I was among the human race, my little master was very good to me, and my little master's family was very good to me, so I have feelings for the human race." The Ruyi True Immortal looked at Yang Jian and said indifferently.

"You continue." Yang Jian signaled for the Ruyi True Immortal to continue.

"Those people in the Women's Kingdom coming here to drink the spring water of the Fetus-Falling Spring is actually not purely for abortion, but for cultivation." The Ruyi True Immortal looked at Yang Jian and the others and said.

"Cultivation?" Yang Jian and Sun Wukong looked at each other. They never expected the development of the matter to be like this.

"Are you very surprised? When I discovered it at the time, I was also very surprised. Actually using human lives as a price for cultivation, and this was still within the human race. This is equivalent to slaughtering the human race to improve one's own strength!" The Ruyi True Immortal's tone was full of mockery.

"Continue!" Yang Jian's tone was very calm. Sun Wukong looked at Yang Jian; he knew Yang Jian was angry.

"You all know that the water of the Child-Mother River can make people conceive life, right? That's because there is the power of creation in the Child-Mother River water, which is the power controlled by Nüwa. It's just that I don't know why it appeared here. Then do you know what power is contained in the Fetus-Falling Spring?" The Ruyi True Immortal looked at Yang Jian and Sun Wukong and asked.

Yang Jian and the others did not speak, but stared at the Ruyi True Immortal.

The Ruyi True Immortal did not speak, but waved his hand to take a drop of the Fetus-Falling Spring water.

Yang Jian and Sun Wukong looked at the Fetus-Falling Spring water in front of them, and soon a flash of surprise appeared in their eyes, because they felt a very strong aura in this Fetus-Falling Spring, and this aura was very close to the aura on Pan Huang.

"Did you feel it? There is a very strong aura in this Fetus-Falling Spring. This aura is full of masculine power. The power of the Child-Mother River water plus the power of this Fetus-Falling Spring can dissolve the soul of the infant, leaving behind the purest innate Qi, and this innate Qi is exactly what the people of the Women's Kingdom pursue."

"There is one more point. Basically, everyone in the Women's Kingdom will drink the spring water of the Fetus-Falling Spring. Do you know why the Women's Kingdom is called the Women's Kingdom?" The Ruyi True Immortal looked at the shocked Yang Jian and the others, preparing to release his big move.

"Why?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Because the Fetus-Falling Spring water can only dissolve baby boys, but not baby girls. As for why this is the case, I also know. So, the reason why the Women's Kingdom is called the Women's Kingdom is because men were dissolved by these people when they were just taking shape, turning into their cultivation." The Ruyi True Immortal smiled.

"What you said is just your one-sided statement. Why should we believe you?" Yang Jian reacted at this time.

"You can choose not to believe it, but this matter simply cannot stand up to investigation. You can go and investigate; this seat is not afraid of you investigating."

"Let's go!" Upon hearing the Ruyi True Immortal's words, Yang Jian stood up and said to Sun Wukong, then walked away without looking back.

After returning to the post house, Xuanzang and the others had not returned. Yang Jian did not rashly attack, but hid his figure with Sun Wukong and began to observe the Women's Kingdom.

This observation actually made them discover an incredible thing. More than 60% of the people in the Women's Kingdom had very good physical fitness, and there was a wisp of innate Qi in their bodies. It was precisely because of this wisp of innate Qi that there were basically no ugly women in the Women's Kingdom, and the physical fitness of the people of the Women's Kingdom was actually much stronger than that of ordinary men, which was probably also due to the nourishment of this innate Qi.

"It seems that what the Ruyi True Immortal said has a certain degree of credibility." Yang Jian muttered to himself.

After the investigation, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong returned to the post house. Not long after they returned to the post house, Xuanzang and the others also returned.

"Master Xuanzang, how is the situation on your side? Did you learn anything?" Yang Jian hurriedly asked.

"No, what the Queen of the Women's Kingdom said was all true, at least what she said was all true." Dapeng shook his head and said.

"What do you mean?" Sun Wukong frowned and asked.

"The Queen of the Women's Kingdom did not lie; she swore by the national fortune." Ao Mo'ang said.

"What about your side? Did you learn anything?" Xuanzang asked.

"Yes!" Yang Jian nodded heavily.

Subsequently, he and Sun Wukong told Xuanzang what the Ruyi True Immortal said, one after another. After Xuanzang and the others heard it, their brows instantly frowned.

"The Queen of the Women's Kingdom swore by the national fortune, and the national fortune did not backlash, which means that what she said was all true, at least what she knew was like this. But the Ruyi True Immortal had another statement, which means that there was someone in the middle who distorted the whole thing, and this person had been in the Women's Kingdom from the beginning. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Women's Kingdom to become what it is now." After Xuanzang finished listening to Yang Jian and the others' words, he said slowly.

When he said this, a flash of cold light flickered in his eyes. Someone actually dared to plot under the nose of the human race. This was not taking his main body seriously.

In a shop on the street of the Women's Kingdom, after Pan Huang received the memory sent back by Xuanzang, his eyes narrowed: "This is definitely not something an ordinary person can plot. It seems that this Women's Kingdom is not simple!"

Subsequently, he sent a sound transmission to Xuanzang, asking them to start investigating the Women's Kingdom. He wanted to see who was calculating against the human race.

After receiving Pan Huang's instructions, Xuanzang immediately arranged it. He even sent messages to those demon clans outside the city, asking them to change their appearances and then enter the city to investigate. He didn't believe that nearly a thousand people couldn't find anything.

Facts proved that more people meant things were easier to handle. In just one day, Xuanzang and the others discovered clues.

The State Preceptor—all the suspicious points pointed to the State Preceptor.

"It seems that the Queen of the Women's Kingdom should have been bewitched by the State Preceptor." Yang Jian said.

"Not just that!" Dapeng shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Women's Kingdom—this country is now called the Women's Kingdom. This country has existed for at least nearly a hundred years. Do you understand?" Dapeng looked at the group and said.

"Are you saying that this State Preceptor has been the same person from beginning to end? It is precisely because of her that the Women's Kingdom has become what it is now?" Upon hearing Dapeng's words, Ao Mo'ang immediately reacted.

"That's right, this kind of conjecture has at least 80% accuracy." Dapeng nodded.

"Whether it is like this, can't we just test it?" Seeing everyone guessing, Sun Wukong said.

"That's right, whether it is like this, we can just test it." Xuanzang nodded.

The next day, they went directly to find the State Preceptor. After a casual bluff, the State Preceptor immediately showed flaws and then fled the Women's Kingdom directly.

"It seems that this is indeed the State Preceptor's masterpiece. But what is the significance of her doing this?" Xuanzang was a bit puzzled. This didn't seem to have any benefits for the State Preceptor, right?

"What benefits this has for the State Preceptor, won't we know after we find the State Preceptor?" The Black Bear Spirit said and took the initiative to ask to find the State Preceptor.

"Alright!" Xuanzang nodded.

In half a day, the Black Bear Spirit stumbled back to the post house.

"What's going on?" Seeing the Black Bear Spirit like this, the group hurriedly surrounded him.

"That State Preceptor is at a place called Poison Enemy Mountain Pipa Cave outside the Women's Kingdom. Her true form is a scorpion demon. This scorpion demon's strength is not strong, but that horse-stabbing poison stake of hers is very strong." After the Black Bear Spirit finished saying this while enduring the severe pain, he fainted directly on the ground.

After seeing the Black Bear Spirit faint, Xuanzang and the others hurriedly helped him detoxify and heal his wounds. After some tossing, they finally stabilized the Black Bear Spirit's injuries.

"What a vicious toxin. This scorpion demon must not be an ordinary monster!" Looking at the sleeping Black Bear Spirit, Dapeng said.

Xuanzang did not speak. He already knew the cause and effect of the matter. He should have thought of it long ago. The reason he didn't think of it at the first moment was because in his past life, during this difficulty in the Women's Kingdom, Xuanzang left the Women's Kingdom first and was later captured to Poison Enemy Mountain. In his past life, Xuanzang and the others had very little contact with the State Preceptor in the Women's Kingdom, which was why Xuanzang didn't think of it in this life.

"It is written in the past life that this scorpion demon seems to be a monster at the foot of Lingshan. Is it the same in this life? If so, then why did this scorpion demon turn this place into the Women's Kingdom?" Xuanzang was a bit puzzled.

It didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out. As long as he caught that scorpion demon, everything would be clear.

On the other side, after Pan Huang received Xuanzang's memory, he immediately remembered. There was indeed a difficulty with the scorpion demon outside the Women's Kingdom. It seemed that things had changed in this life.

"After things are clear, it's time to take a trip to Chaos. Actually daring to plot against my human race, if I don't show something, they will think I am easy to bully." Pan Huang looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
