However, at this moment, their fates were in Lin Fang’s hands, so they could only pin their hopes on persuading Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, in your opinion, what should be done?\" Lin Fang asked with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my humble opinion, why not turn back to the Northern Sea? Although the Dragon Palace is powerful, the sea is even broader, and we are all from the Sea Clan, better able to hide our identities in the vast ocean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, that is actually not a bad suggestion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster’s face lit up with joy at these words, but Lin Fang’s next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked subconsciously, \"Why not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as you said, I am not afraid of the Heavenly Court’s Naval Forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the monster’s face fell, his heart feeling ashen, the future seeming bleak, with death looming before him. The thought of those mighty Heavenly Soldiers and Generals marching towards him made his calves tremble uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swallowing hard, he said, \"In that case, I will take my leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he was about to step out of the room, Lin Fang stopped him, \"However, you do have a point. That place is indeed too dangerous for you little demons. I will go alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Fang rose and entered the cargo hold, called forth the Glazed Pagoda, and with a thought, collected all the cargo into the space. Then, he smiled at the Demon Leader and said, \"Do you know what to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Leader replied very respectfully, \"Rest assured, my lord, I will keep my mouth sealed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, just tell the truth,\" Lin Fang said without a hint of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon cautiously observed Lin Fang’s expression, seeing it was genuine before carefully asking, \"May I ask, my lord, why is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it’s for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just tell the truth, and when the time comes, the Dragon King won’t blame you. You can carry on as usual. If there’s anything in the future, I will seek you out,\" Lin Fang said, his gaze piercing as he looked at the Demon Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you harbor any crooked thoughts, by the next day, you will see your words spread throughout the Three Realms. I believe the Old Dragon King would be more than happy to hand over such a blasphemer of the Buddhist Sect to them for punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the Demon Leader felt that this handsome man before him was a demon, yet he had no choice but to nod and bow in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang chuckled and waved his hand, exiting the room to the deck above. With a light leap, he soared into the air, heading straight towards Luzhou in the North.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters, watching his receding silhouette, finally relaxed, feeling fortunate to have encountered someone reasonably sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Catfish secretly vowed never to leave home again in his life, thinking that others could chase after money if they pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pack up, we’re heading back,\" the Demon Leader said, devoid of energy, a far cry from his previous arrogance. This time he had really run into bad luck; all the cargo was gone, and he didn’t know how to explain it to the Dragon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Fang, who had left the Treasure Ship, his mood was excellent, feeling the long-missed sense of freedom now that he was beyond the surveillance of the Buddhist Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, they had planned to snatch the treasure ship from the Dragon Palace, but after seeing the treasure ship of the Celestial River Naval Forces, they suddenly lost interest. If they were going to steal, it had to be this kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dense forests of Luzhou in the North, a group of monsters had established a village of moderate size, with well-spaced houses wrapped in green vines with purple flowers blossoming on them, swaying in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a typical monster village, inhabited by a clan of butterfly spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the most difficult clans to give birth to monsters, no one expected such a sizeable community of Butterfly Demons in this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp whistle blew, and the monsters that had been living leisurely in the village sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They skillfully opened their home’s cellars, and entire families hid inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene had played out countless times on this land, they were well-rehearsed; whenever this whistle sounded, it meant that those fellows from the Heavenly Court were coming to capture monsters again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, it wasn’t long after the monsters hid that a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals barged in, searching high and low for the monsters’ whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Search thoroughly, don’t miss any corner, the Marshal has ordered that we must capture at least five this time,\" the leading Heavenly General instructed his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Marshal is really demanding, how can we fulfill such a number?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know? Our Marshal has just been promoted and wants to make a good impression, that’s why he set this goal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, if he has the guts, catching one of those famous Demon Kings and bringing them to the Heavenly Court would be more prestigious than capturing lots of Little Demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think those Demon Kings are easy to catch? These guys have been around in these lands for who knows how many years, never been caught.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While several people were gossiping, the leading Heavenly General suddenly shushed them. He carefully pressed his ear against the wall, a smug smile spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he punched the wall, and the stone wall collapsed, revealing a hole where two trembling Little Monsters were huddled together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, brothers, we won’t return empty-handed this time,\" he laughed joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Turns out they are rare Butterfly Demons; these guys can fetch a good price. Many in the Three Realms are fond of this Race,\" said someone, rubbing their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to taking these fellows up to the Heavenly Court, selling them to those in need was more profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like it’s our turn to strike it rich!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, screams and blood began to permeate the small village; the once peaceful and harmonious scene was no longer visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving Butterfly Demons stared with eyes full of hatred at the people who were rampantly slaughtering, yet they could do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Lan held her younger sister, staring blankly at the killing Heavenly Soldiers, her heart filled with hatred, while her young sister trembled in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful with these, they are high-quality goods, don’t injure them,\" someone reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching a Heavenly Soldier with blood-stained weapons walk by, You Lan silently prayed for someone to kill these people, even if it meant offering up her own soul, she was willing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a fire igniting out of nowhere, started as a mere spark and in the blink of an eye, turned into raging flames, instantly flying towards the slaughtering Heavenly Soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piercing screams began to echo through the small village, but this time, it was the turn of the Heavenly Soldiers to make noise.\u003C\u002Fp>",1242,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","964a12006b4822f3d5d95157218dffb332d4d18248178af63f6c590f4bfce7cc","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-160","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-158",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
