Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"Something happened!?" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, the White Mouse Demon is not in the city, Jiang Liu's brows furrowed slightly.

Jiang Liu is very clear that even if the White Mouse Demon goes to buy those cups and bowls, it is absolutely impossible for her to leave the city.

Since she is not in the city, then something must have happened.

The reason for keeping the White Mouse Demon by his side is partly to use her as bait to lure the people among the Immortals and Buddhas to make a move.

Now, has someone made a move again?

With a slight movement in thought, Jiang Liu's reaction was not slow, and he directly took out the Treasure-Seeking Mirror from the package space.

Then, he shouted at the Treasure-Seeking Mirror: "Mystic Yin Twin Swords!"

These twin swords are the White Mouse Demon's personal weapon. As long as the whereabouts of the Mystic Yin Twin Swords can be found, naturally, the whereabouts of the White Mouse Demon can be found.

With Jiang Liu's shout, starlight gathered on the Treasure-Seeking Mirror and quickly transformed into the shape of an arrow, pointing in a direction.

"Master, let's go quickly!"

Among the disciples, the one most worried about the White Mouse Demon's situation is naturally Zhu Bajie. Realizing that something had happened to the White Mouse Demon, seeing the direction the arrow pointed, Zhu Bajie quickly said.

"Wukong, you guys wait here. Master and Bajie will go and come back!"

Both he and Zhu Bajie have reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. If the two of them go together, it is thought that there would be no problem, Jiang Liu said to Sun Wukong and the others.

Sun Wukong and the others naturally wouldn't worry about the safety of their Master and Zhu Bajie. They nodded and stayed behind.

Jiang Liu and Zhu Bajie's movements were not slow, rushing rapidly in the direction indicated by the arrow on the Treasure-Seeking Mirror.

Quickly, the two left the city.

"Indeed, she is not in the city!" After leaving the city, Jiang Liu murmured to himself.

Yet his steps remained quick, continuing to chase in the direction indicated by the Treasure-Seeking Mirror.

...

About twenty miles south of the city on a small hill, the White Mouse Demon's embroidered shoes had long been burned, leaving her bare jade feet, bound to a large tree.

Without the embroidered shoes, naturally, the corresponding innate divine abilities could not be displayed. At this moment, the White Mouse Demon being bound was completely at the mercy of others.

"You two, my flesh doesn't really have the effect of prolonging life, you've been deceived!" Facing the two elders before her, unable to escape, the White Mouse Demon could only speak to justify herself, hoping the other side would listen.

However, having reached this point, the two elders naturally wouldn't believe the White Mouse Demon's words.

"Senior, let's act quickly. After all, she is Master Xuanzang's maiden. If Xuanzang and the others arrive later, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

The two elders, one fat and one thin, quickly made a decision. Soon, one took out a sharp small knife and walked directly toward the White Mouse Demon.

"No, no..."

Seeing the elder approach with the small knife, terror filled the White Mouse Demon's face as she struggled fiercely.

But bound as she was, the two elders' cultivation levels surpassed hers, and she could not escape.

Licking his lips, the slightly fat elder showed no mercy as he came directly to the White Mouse Demon's presence.

"Amitabha..."

Just as the two were about to act, suddenly, splendid Buddhist light appeared, and at the same time, a Buddhist chant rang out, echoing through the heavens.

The fat and thin elders were stunned, looking for the sound source. They saw Jiang Liu's figure bathed in the Buddhist light, descending toward them.

Not just Jiang Liu, accompanying him was Zhu Bajie.

Two Great Luo Golden Immortal level powerhouses, the aura surrounding them gave a suffocating feel.

The chubby elder swallowed, a bead of cold sweat slipping down his forehead.

The two senior brothers only had cultivation at the Taiyi Middle Stage, facing two Great Luo Golden Immortal entities, the outcome was clear.

"Greetings, Master Xuanzang!"

The thin elder beside him also had a bead of cold sweat trailing down his face, but his reaction was quick. He signaled to the elder to put away the knife, simultaneously greeting Jiang Liu.

"Holy Monk, save me, save me..."

Seeing herself nearly killed, at the critical moment, Master Xuanzang descended from the sky to rescue her, bringing great joy to the White Mouse Demon, who loudly called to Jiang Liu.

Regarding the White Mouse Demon's cry for help, Jiang Liu only nodded slightly, signaling her to calm down.

Immediately, Jiang Liu's gaze fell upon the two elders, with modest and courteous demeanor, he returned the greeting: "Greetings, may I know who you are? Why are you treating my maiden like this?"

"Master Xuanzang, we are two Righteous Gods of the Heavenly Court, originally under the command of the Great Emperor Qinghua..." The two elders spoke to Jiang Liu, first revealing their identities.

"Amitabha, so it turns out, you are Righteous Gods of the Heavenly Court! I apologize for my disrespect!" From the words of the two elders, Jiang Liu understood their identities.

Indeed, this flesh that extends life is not just tempting to demons and ghosts; even the Immortals and Buddhas in the heavens find it hard to resist such temptation.

However, all of this was within Jiang Liu's expectations, so in the face of these two deities, Jiang Liu maintained a humble and courteous demeanor.

"The Holy Monk is too kind!" Seeing Jiang Liu's humble and courteous manner, the two Righteous Gods were naturally flattered and astonished.

"May I ask, what did my maiden do to offend you two, that you would treat her this way?" On the surface still maintaining great courtesy, Jiang Liu asked.

"Holy Monk, this Gold-Nosed White-Furred Rat Demon did not offend us. We just heard that she once stole the fragrant offerings from the Tathagata's altar in the Great Thunder Monastery, leading many in the Buddhist Sect to pursue her. We happened upon her by chance, so we acted."

"Little did we know she had already become the mage's maiden, it was indeed a misunderstanding!"

Regardless of whether Jiang Liu believed them or not, fighting was not an option, so the two elders simply claimed it was a misunderstanding.

"You two are liars!"

The nearby White Mouse Demon couldn't hold back and cried out, "You clearly said you heard my flesh was effective in extending life, and that's why you wanted to taste it! You weren't after me for capture at all!"

"Holy Monk, we are being wronged!" Hearing the White Mouse Demon's words, the two deities quickly shouted their innocence.

Their aggrieved expressions were so convincing that someone unaware might really think they were truly wronged.

"Amitabha, both sides have differing accounts; how is this monk to decide..." Jiang Liu's face showed a troubled expression.

Of course, both the White Mouse Demon and the two deities hoped Jiang Liu would believe them.

Thus, each insisted that their words were the truth.

"You are my maiden. Ordinarily, I would naturally not doubt your words!" Jiang Liu spoke, his gaze falling upon the White Mouse Demon.

Hearing this, the White Mouse Demon felt much better in her heart, but the two elders, overhearing these words, became somewhat anxious.

"But as for you two, being deities of the heavens, I naturally wouldn't doubt your words either..." Immediately, Jiang Liu's gaze shifted to the two elders as he spoke.

"Master, since both sides have differing stories, what's to be done next?" Zhu Bajie asked Jiang Liu.

"Here's what we will do! Regardless, my maiden was startled under my care, and although it's a misunderstanding, you two should still make some gesture, right?" After a brief silence, Jiang Liu then looked at the two elders and spoke.

"Of course, of course..."

Jiang Liu's words clearly indicated that they should offer compensation, so the two elders quickly nodded in agreement, after some thought.

There was no other way!

Although offering compensation was indeed painful, now that Master Xuanzang was already here, if they were to fight, the two brothers would definitely end up destroyed.

If they could avert disaster by losing some wealth, it would already be the best outcome.

The two elders each took out a ring and a spirit pill, presenting them to Jiang Liu as they indicated their willingness to compensate.

"Dispel Curse!"

Jiang Liu raised his hand, pointing at the White Mouse Demon, and a Dispel Curse was cast, directly lifting the constraints on the White Mouse Demon.

Then, he said to the White Mouse Demon, "After all, they are deities of the heavens, so you should accept their apology!"

From Jiang Liu's words, it was clear he intended to make a big issue small and a small issue nothing, which left the White Mouse Demon a bit puzzled.

A few days ago, even a Buddha from the Buddhist Sect was frightened away by him, so why wouldn't the Holy Monk dare pursue these two Taiyi Realm deities?

"White Mouse Demon, my junior sister, just listen to the master and take the items!" Watching the White Mouse Demon hesitate, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but urge her.

"Alright then..." Hearing Zhu Bajie's urging, the White Mouse Demon thought for a moment, then nodded, extending her hand to receive the spirit pills and dharma treasures from the two elders.

"Mage, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, my brother and I will take our leave and not disturb you further!" Watching the White Mouse Demon accept the items, the two elders spoke.

"Amitabha, until we meet again..." Jiang Liu slightly nodded, not intending to keep them.

After exchanging glances, the two elders dared not linger any longer and quickly turned to leave.

"Master, you deliberately let them go, right?"

As the two elders departed, Zhu Bajie finally asked Jiang Liu.

Indeed, he had been relentless with Manjushri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva before, even scaring them off. Killing them, two deities under the command of the Great Emperor Qinghua, with mere Taiyi Realm cultivation, wouldn't raise any questions.

"Indeed, you've made some progress. But do you know why I spared them?" Jiang Liu nodded slightly, showing a look of satisfaction, and then asked in return.
