Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

"Soul Searching Technique!?" Upon hearing Sha Wujing's words nearby, Muzha's complexion drastically changed.

Muzha naturally knew what kind of means the Soul Searching Technique, such an evil spell, represented.

Had Sha Wujing claimed before that he knew this technique, Muzha would never have believed it. However, after Sha Wujing had been demon-possessed and even wandered through the Demon Realm, Muzha truly felt it was not impossible that he had learned the evil Soul Searching Technique.

"Soul Searching Technique, huh? Fine, this demon dare to pretend to be the envoy Muzha and deceive us, you should try using the Soul Searching Technique on him. I would like to see what this demon truly intends!" Upon hearing Sha Wujing's words, Jiang Liu also looked at him in surprise, then nodded and spoke.

"Wait, wait, I'll tell, I'll tell everything...." Once the Soul Searching Technique was cast, it would truly scatter one's soul, and Muzha cried out loudly.

"Then let's hear it!" Seeing Muzha's expression of not turning back unless he hit the wall, Jiang Liu spoke.

After a moment of silence and a helpless sigh, Muzha began to speak, revealing the true circumstances surrounding the Dragon King of Jing River's death.

The details matched what Jiang Liu remembered. Before the Dragon King of Jing River was killed, Yuan Shoucheng had directed him to seek Wei Zheng's help to save his life, with the only aim being to provoke Emperor of Tang, Li Shimin, to visit the Underworld and witness its dire conditions, thereby initiating the Journey to the West for Scriptures.

"So, you're saying that my father's death was merely a pebble thrown to pave the way!?" Upon hearing this purported reason behind his own father's death, the Tuo Dragon Monster next to him couldn't help but grasp the front of Muzha's robe and said hatefully.

"So that was it..." Unlike the Tuo Dragon Monster's hatred, the Little White Dragon and the Dragon King next to him were more of an aha moment amidst their shock.

They had long suspected there was more to this matter. Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be this.

The illustrious Dragon King was plotted to death, and the ultimate aim was merely to serve as a catalyst for the subsequent Journey to the West.

"Such scheming, the Buddhist Sect really is cunning!" the Dragon King muttered complexly.

Of course, his heart was also full of towering hatred; anyone in his position would feel the same.

"Dragon King, do you think this matter only involves the Buddhist Sect?" Hearing the Dragon King's words, Jiang Liu glanced at him and then reminded him.

"Besides the Buddhist Sect? Could there be..." Hearing Jiang Liu's reminder, the Dragon King was momentarily stunned, then he realized.

"Don't forget, previously Yuan Shoucheng had accurately stated the will of the Jade Emperor. If you say the Jade Emperor was unaware, I won't believe it!" Jiang Liu continued, reminding him.

The willingness of the Jade Emperor could be predicted in advance? Then wouldn't the Three Realms and Six Paths be in great chaos!?

"Right, right, what is truly going on here!?" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's reminder, the Dragon King and others also seemed to come to a realization.

"This matter was discussed and agreed upon between the Bodhisattva and the Jade Emperor, allowing the Bodhisattva to control Yuan Shoucheng's actions and then, the Jade Emperor issued his decree..." Having said everything that was to be said, Muzha did not mind adding this small detail as he answered.

"Heavenly Court, Buddhist Sect, so this is their true nature! That the Three Realms and Six Paths are controlled by these people is truly the world's biggest joke!" Fully understanding the truth of the matter, the Little White Dragon burst into laughter, filled with curses.

To think that previously he had thought about the Journey to the West for Scriptures, seeking an official title, was utterly ridiculous!

"Hehehe, indeed, it is filthy..." Sand Wujing, upon hearing this, also sneered continuously.

Initially, he had only broken a Colored Glaze Cup, and for that, the Jade Emperor had directly demoted him, at the time he had felt indignant. Now thinking about it, with the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect behaving so dirtily, how could they regard others?

"Heavenly Court! Buddhist Sect! I, Tuo, swear relentless vengeance against you!" The Tuo Dragon Monster, being quite straightforward and looking brave as a young calf not fearing the tiger, after understanding the truth, couldn't help but shout angrily.

Seeing Jiang Liu and their group all ready to rebel against the heavens, Muzha was inwardly shocked and realized the gravity of the situation.

This will not do, I must hurry back and report this matter to the Bodhisattva!

"Holy Monk, I have already proven my identity. I am indeed Muzha, please release me at once!" Having said what should and should not have been said, Muzha quickly spoke, addressing Jiang Liu.

"Do you think, knowing all this, that you can still leave!?" Jiang Liu's gaze, cold as he looked at him and said sternly.

"You, you actually want to kill me? I am an emissary of the Bodhisattva. If you kill me, the Bodhisattva will never forgive you!" Seeing Jiang Liu's calm demeanor which still gave off a chilling vibe, Muzha screamed in shock.

"Wujing, use the Soul Searching Technique and see if anything has been left out!" For someone about to die, there was no need for further nonsense. Jiang Liu turned his head to speak to Sha Wujing.

However, hearing Jiang Liu's command, Sha Wujing scratched his head and looked somewhat embarrassed as he said, "Well, master, I, I actually don't know the Soul Searching Technique, I was just...scaring him..."

"What!?" Sha Wujing's words made Jiang Liu turn his head back, looking at him incredulously.

In Jiang Liu's heart, Sha Wujing had always been seen as an honest and straightforward figure. Who would have thought, he could also deceive? Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

"Is that so? After becoming possessed by a demon, Sha Wujing's temperament has changed. We cannot view him through the same lens as before!" In his shock, Jiang Liu quickly came to this realization.

"Bajie, take action, let him be annihilated both in body and spirit!" Without saying anything more, Jiang Liu turned his head and spoke to Zhu Bajie.

Although Zhu Bajie seemed lazy in temperament following him on the Journey to the West for Scriptures, he was indeed ruthless and merciless, something Jiang Liu never doubted.

After all, when they first met, Zhu Bajie wanted to capture him and eat him, illustrating that devouring people was commonplace for him!

"Alright, Master!" At this moment, Zhu Bajie's eyes also carried a vengeful look. Hearing the words, he wickedly smiled, raised his Nine-Toothed Rake, and ferociously struck down!

Zhu Bajie would never forget that it was because of Guanyin's Bodhisattva's schemes that Zhuzhu died once, along with the child in her womb.

This vengeance for wife and child, beginning by killing one of Guanyin Bodhisattva's emissaries, served as a collection of interest, and Zhu Bajie was naturally unmerciful.

With a scream, under Zhu Bajie's attack, Envoy Muzha quickly died, his soul completely dispersing into smoke and clouds!

"Holy Monk, your great kindness and virtue, I, Little Dragon, shall never forget!" Watching Jiang Liu take action and avenge him, the Dragon King of Jing River spoke, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Liu.

"Holy Monk, I, I feel deeply ashamed and am willing to be as servile as a bull or horse to repay your great kindness!" Beside him, the Tuo Dragon Monster also spoke, recalling how he had transformed into a boatman, attempting to harm Jiang Liu, and felt deeply ashamed.

"Cousin, if you are to be the bull and the horse, then what shall I do?!" Before Jiang Liu could respond to the Tuo Dragon Monster, Little White Dragon Aolie couldn't help but speak up.

As he spoke, he even flicked his horse's tail.

"Uh..." Seeing his cousin already in the form of the White Dragon Horse, the Tuo Dragon Monster's mouth twitched, momentarily lost for words.

Of course, Little White Dragon's words were merely in jest. At this moment, Little White Dragon approached Jiang Liu, slightly bowed his head, and said, "Master, I know you and the other disciples aim to overthrow the Immortals and Buddhas by journeying to the West. I am willing to serve as your mount and battle the heavens for you!"

"Hmm, then I'll be counting on you!" Seeing Little White Dragon's appearance, Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction, reached out his hand, and gently stroked the White Dragon Horse's head.

From then on, even Little White Dragon had aligned with him on the Journey to the West for Scriptures, which greatly pleased Jiang Liu!

"Holy Monk, I also wish to contribute my strength!" The Tuo Dragon Monster said upon hearing this.

"Hmm, it's not just Tuo who will contribute his strength, we of the Jing River Dragon Clan are willing to work ourselves to the bone for you, Holy Monk!" Following the Tuo Dragon Monster's declaration, the Dragon King of Jing River also spoke up.

"Cousin, I'll return this to you!" After his uncle and cousin had expressed their intentions, the White Dragon Horse took off the Dragon Soul Bracelet and handed it to the Tuo Dragon Monster, saying.

The Dragon Soul Bracelet was a vessel for their father's lost soul. Naturally, the Tuo Dragon Monster did not hesitate to accept it and immediately placed the bracelet on his own wrist.

"Dragon King of Jing River, Tuo, you both head back to Jing River. If there is a chance, gradually infiltrate the Flame Cloud Cave and get in touch with Red Boy, he will naturally know how to arrange things for you!"

As the Dragon King of Jing River virtually pledged his loyalty, Jiang Liu did not bother with pleasantries and gave his orders.

During this conversation, Jiang Liu also opened his sect interface and added both the Dragon King of Jing River and Tuo to his sect.

"By the way, Holy Monk, what is the name of our Great Teaching?" The Dragon King of Jing River asked, having been added to the sect.

"Our sect, shall be called: Ming Sect!" Jiang Liu declared.

"Ming Sect!? A fine name indeed! 'Ming', as in Daming, bright deity revealing nature, supremely fair and bright, the implication is profound!" Hearing this, the Dragon King of Jing River also nodded and loudly praised.

"Alright, you may go now!" With a wave of his hand, Jiang Liu spoke.

"We shall obey the Sect Master's command!" Tuo and the Dragon King of Jing River declared, and then, they left Black Water River and headed back to Jing River.

Ming Sect, why Jiang Liu named his faction thus.

Firstly, as the Dragon King of Jing River said, indeed, it was to annihilate the false Immortals and Buddhas and return clarity to the three realms and six paths.

Secondly, in the martial arts novels of his past life, didn't Ming Sect successfully overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty? It was also a token of luck for his own overthrow of the rule of the Immortals and Buddhas.

"Hmm, I am now the Sect Master, the Ming Sect Master!? Quite good indeed!"
