Only a select few in the Three Realms possessed such divine skills, not even Lord Huo-De could control this fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All descriptions converged into two terrifying words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the flames did not weaken in the slightest because they were recognized; amongst pain and screams, these misbehaving Heavenly soldiers turned to ash, vanishing between Heaven and Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome figure slowly emerged from the flames, the raging fire around him seeming to bow in reverence, like a king of flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked slowly to You Lan, gently touched her little head, and said, \"Are you all right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Lan gazed at him, lost in a trance, warmed by his smile that gleamed against the backdrop of the fiery sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biting her lip, You Lan bravely nodded. Her parents were dead, and she had to be strong; her sister still needed her care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Fang sighed lightly. What a pitiful child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly soldiers around him had all been burned by the flames, but their souls were flying towards the Heavenly Court. Lin Fang wanted to stop them but found that their souls were bound by a special spell, making them impossible to detain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such tactics again?\" Lin Fang muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Soldiers of the Buddhist Sect were not much different; however, it seemed both had severe side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buddhist Soldiers would turn into madmen who only knew how to sing praises to the Buddhist Sect as death took its toll, while, Lin Fang thought as he watched the souls of the Heavenly soldiers grow darker, perhaps the desires of living beings in the Heavenly Court would become even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inwardly, he mused, \"No wonder these Heavenly soldiers are so vicious; their souls have clearly been nearly completely corrupted. It’s hard to imagine what their end will look like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, kind stranger, for saving our lives,\" an elderly woman stepped out from the crowd, leading the surviving Butterfly Demons to kneel before Lin Fang, thanking him for his great kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for thanks, it was but a helping hand,\" Lin Fang dismissed with a wave of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It may be just a helping hand for our savior, but for us, it is a life-saving grace. We Butterfly Demons may be weak, but we know how to repay kindness,\" said the old woman with firm conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang gave the old woman a surprised look, noticing the genuineness in her expression, and silently commended their honesty. It’s no surprise they struggle to survive, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Celestial River Naval Forces coming in full force, this place has become a land of strife. Do you have any plans?\" Lin Fang asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman’s face showed a trace of sorrow as she replied, \"Our lives are as fragile as grass; in Luzhou in the North, there is no idyllic sanctuary. We’ll start by rebuilding our homes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, why not seek refuge with a Demon King? That could also secure your safety,\" Lin Fang inquired with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We Butterfly Demons are born weak, what Demon King would want to protect a race like us? Moreover, some Demon Kings harbor ill intent, wishing to treat us as playthings,\" the old woman said, her voice laden with a profound sense of powerlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world of the survival of the fittest, weakness is the original sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang looked around and noticed that the faces of these Butterfly Demons were numb; they had grown accustomed to their own weakness and to the terrors of this harsh world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, why not follow me?\" Lin Fang sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man lifted his head in surprise, staring fixedly at Lin Fang. She never dreamed that such a powerful being would be willing to accept their allegiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that with Lin Fang’s strength, once he revealed his banner in Luzhou in the North, he could quickly gather a host of powerful little demons, as this land had grown accustomed to such a mode of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the thrill of excitement; with a strong figure as their backing, the lives of their clan would vastly improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, benefactor, or should I say, King!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Fang just waved his hand, \"There’s no need to call me King, just ’My Lord’ will do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of grassroots kingship was of little interest to him; it was merely self-entertainment for some vain monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, where is your territory? We will prepare to move immediately,\" the old man asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Territory?\" Lin Fang shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve just arrived in Luzhou in the North and haven’t found a territory yet,\" Lin Fang said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned, unsure what to do next. The boss they had chosen to follow didn’t have a domain, which left the long-established monster utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don’t worry, I have my ways. Just have everyone gather together with their belongings,\" Lin Fang assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the summons of the old man and several venerable village elders, everyone packed their belongings and stood in the center of the village, looking at Lin Fang with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang looked at the items in their hands and asked, \"Are you sure you have everything? There’s plenty of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s enough; carrying too many things is inconvenient for a long journey,\" the old man refused, after all, there were too many dangers associated with traveling with too much luggage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I have the means. Bring all of your belongings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone gathered again, Lin Fang then said with a smile, \"Get ready, and don’t be too shocked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd didn’t understand what Lin Fang meant, but suddenly they felt the world spinning around them, and in a flash, they found themselves in an unfamiliar heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, the old man was certain they were no longer in Luzhou in the North.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, they saw a majestic compound right before their eyes, with three little monsters waiting at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw the group of Butterfly Demons, the three little monsters walked up excitedly and said, \"Are you Butterfly Demons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They curiously circled around the newcomers, occasionally reaching out to touch the Butterfly Demon’s wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you are?\" the leading old man, still unclear about the situation, asked with some confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The boss sent us to greet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The boss? Lord Lin Fang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the three little demons nodding continuously, everyone finally relaxed. Followed by an intense feeling of joy—they wouldn’t have to live a life on the run, constantly on edge, anymore. The world now belonged to Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me, I’ll take you to the site where we’ll establish the village,\" said the Little Fox, speaking with a smile. This was the task Lin Fang had given him, and he intended to complete it flawlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a89346457d2ade56a5678015f744bb10bc356a029b61db1dc3f841d3c4553b1","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-161","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-159",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
