Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

As usual, when Jiang Liu arrived at the Blood Sea Palace, Ancestor Minghe still hid away, unwilling to meet with Jiang Liu.

However, this time it was not Tian Boxun who met Jiang Liu, but Great Brahma, one of the four demon kings under Ancestor Minghe.

"Master Xuanzang, everything well with you, I presume? What brings you here?"

Great Brahma's expression was also not pleasant, it seemed that the four demon kings had made a bet, and he lost, so he had no choice but to come out to meet Jiang Liu, and immediately asked Jiang Liu's purpose.

Obviously, he was also hoping Jiang Liu would hurry up and finish his business and leave the Blood Sea.

"Oh, I came here this time to see Qiongqi!" Hearing Great Brahma's words, Jiang Liu wore a humble and polite smile on his face and said.

"Alright, Master, please wait here, I will go find my little junior sister!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's purpose, Great Brahma was unwilling to linger any longer, leaving this sentence behind, he turned around and left.

Watching the hurried figure of Great Brahma leaving, Jiang Liu awkwardly touched his nose, chuckling despite himself.

It stands to reason that although I am the center of the great calamity, with the ties between myself and Ancestor Minghe, having my daughter as the link, I wouldn't act against them, right?

Yet, every time I come to the Blood Sea recently, the people in this Blood Sea treat me as if I'm a plague.

This feeling is really not good.

Feeling awkward, Jiang Liu then secretly shook his head.

What can be done? Ancestor Minghe is the most evasive person in the three realms; no one has ever seen his true form, he always meets others through avatars.

Now I am the center of the immeasurable kalpa, Minghe doesn't even want to meet me through avatars.

As they say, leading by example, Ancestor Minghe has been so evasive, it's natural that the four demon kings under him also act evasively.

Just as Jiang Liu was secretly pondering these things, very soon, a voice entered the hall, it was Lingyu.

Beside Lingyu was an old man looking around sixty years old, who was one of the ancient ten demon gods, Qiongqi.

"Father, I heard you're looking for Grandpa Qiongqi?" Lingyu had a blue rune on her brow, and she came before Jiang Liu, smiling as she spoke.

Although, in terms of status, Qiongqi is merely Lingyu's mount, a master-servant relationship, Lingyu was extremely polite towards Qiongqi, even addressing him as grandfather.

This point made Jiang Liu secretly nod, as he himself is also humble and polite, in this regard, the daughter follows the father.

"Yes, I have some things to speak with your Grandpa Qiongqi about!" Jiang Liu nodded, speaking as he patted Lingyu's head.

"May I ask, Holy Monk, what instructions do you have?" As Jiang Liu finished his words, Qiongqi beside him asked.

"I came today hoping to inquire about Feidan!" Jiang Liu spoke to Qiongqi.

"Feidan!?" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Qiongqi's face showed a surprised expression.

Being among the ancient ten demon gods, Qiongqi naturally knew about Feidan.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiongqi spoke: "As far as I know, after the ancient war, Feidan disappeared, I wonder what business Holy Monk has with him?"

"Here's the situation!" Jiang Liu did not intend to hide from Qiongqi, and narrated the destruction of the Eastern Temple, countless demons appearing, and his vow, all explained to Qiongqi.

"Now, it's been almost two months, the demons and ghosts across the four continents have almost all been eradicated, only Feidan has disappeared, so I came to ask you about it!" In the end, Jiang Liu explained.

"I understand!"

Listening to Jiang Liu's explanation, Qiongqi's face showed a sudden realization, and he nodded: "I didn't realize, Feidan was also imprisoned in the underground prison! I had no idea!"

Indeed, before becoming Lingyu's mount, Qiongqi was imprisoned in the Eastern Temple's prison.

Only later, after being schemed by Maitreya Buddha, did he come out of the prison, and by chance became Lingyu's mount.

But today hearing that Feidan had also escaped from the underground prison, Qiongqi? naturally felt emotional.

After all these years, I had no idea at all.

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising?

In that underground prison, everyone is held in solitary confinement, barely able to ever step out, not knowing Feidan was in there too isn't strange.

Perhaps Feidan didn't know I was inside either?

Just as Qiongqi was secretly pondering over the fact that he and Feidan were confined in the same prison but were unaware of each other's presence, suddenly, Qiongqi seemed to realize something, his complexion changed slightly.

Simultaneously, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What's wrong? What are you afraid of?" Seeing Qiongqi's appearance, Jiang Liu was slightly startled in his heart, and asked Qiongqi in surprise.

However, Qiongqi's gaze fixed on Jiang Liu was filled with vigilance, and he took a few steps back.

This reaction only made Jiang Liu more puzzled, and he looked at him completely baffled, not understanding what Qiongqi meant by this.

"Holy Monk..."

Swallowing his saliva, trying to calm himself somewhat, Qiongqi looked at Jiang Liu and said, "You just said? You made a grand vow to eliminate those demons who escaped from the underground prison; in that case, it seems I'm included too, right?"

"Uh..." Qiongqi's words made Jiang Liu pause slightly, and soon he felt a bit helpless and amused.

Well, back in the day, how imposing was Qiongqi as a Great Demon? A figure who couldn't be subdued by mere intimidation.

But, having stayed with Lingyu in the Netherworld Blood Sea for so long, has he also adopted that "survival" trait from the Blood Sea?

"You misunderstood. The grand vow I made is to eliminate those demons who escaped from the underground prison and are wreaking havoc in the Mortal World. If they escape without causing trouble in the Mortal World, this humble monk will not hunt them to extinction." Jiang Liu replied, explaining.

"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's explanation, Qiongqi silently breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Alright, if that's the case, then it's understandable to him.

After calming down, Qiongqi continued, "Actually, back when the Ten Great Demon Gods were formed, my relationship with Feidan wasn't very harmonious, probably due to our personalities!"

"My temperament is straightforward, but he is somewhat sly, even bully the weak and fear the strong, so, back in the Heavenly Court, we were quite incompatible!"

Qiongqi spoke, babbling on to Jiang Liu about various things concerning Feidan.

Jiang Liu didn't interrupt Qiongqi, listening silently and absorbing everything.

"Holy Monk, do you know enough about these things?" After narrating many details, Qiongqi asked Jiang Liu.

"Yes, not bad!"

Jiang Liu nodded and then followed to ask, "So, do you know what treasures Feidan has on him? Like weapons, armor, or any other Dharma Treasures?"

"Of course I know!"

Listening to Jiang Liu's words, Qiongqi nodded and said, "Feidan's weapon is a Jianmu Dragon Staff, which, when swung, is accompanied by dragon roars that captivate people's senses. As for Dharma Treasures, he also possesses a Soul-Breaking Needle, which can launch surprise attacks on targets, leading people to lose their minds."

"Good, understood, thank you!" After hearing the names of the two treasures, Jiang Liu nodded in gratitude.

Although this venture to the Netherworld Blood Sea was for inquiries about Feidan, Jiang Liu couldn't just ask questions and leave, right? How would Lingyu feel about that?

So, after expressing thanks, Jiang Liu stayed with Lingyu for a while.

They chatted about the interesting events on the Journey to the West for Scriptures, and Jiang Liu inquired about Lingyu's cultivation progress before finally bidding farewell and leaving the Netherworld Blood Sea.

As Jiang Liu left the Netherworld Blood Sea, the four Demon Kings Tian Boxun, Great Brahma, Desire Heaven, and Shiva emerged.

At the same time, they all felt relieved in their hearts.

After leaving the Netherworld Blood Sea, Jiang Liu naturally returned to the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.

To search for Feidan, Jiang Liu certainly couldn't go alone.

With only level 70, searching for a Great Luo Golden Immortal Level demon?

Is this offering up a hundred and more pounds of Tang Monk's Flesh for someone to eat?

Upon arriving at the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, Sun Wukong and the others naturally gathered around.

Even Tingdi couldn't locate Feidan's whereabouts; can Master find a solution at this time?

With Sun Wukong and others paying attention, Jiang Liu took out the Treasure-Seeking Mirror from his backpack space, then shouted to it, "Jianmu Dragon Staff!"

But, upon shouting the name of this treasure, the Treasure-Seeking Mirror showed no reaction.

This caused Jiang Liu's brows to frown slightly; it seems this treasure has been destroyed?

After pondering for a moment, he shouted to the Treasure-Seeking Mirror again, "Soul-Breaking Needle!"

This time, the Treasure-Seeking Mirror indeed reacted, with starlight collecting and forming into a needle pattern that rotated a few times and pointed in a direction.

"Found it!"

...

In the Heavenly Court, Emperor Ziwei sat quietly on his throne.

Before him, several Divine Generals spoke, recounting the recent events of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team to Emperor Ziwei.

"To find Feidan's whereabouts, Xuanzang visited the Supreme Elder Lord and Immortal Zhenyuan, didn't he? It seems that Xuanzang has indeed been a bit desperate these past few days!"

Emperor Ziwei spoke indifferently, and by the end, he couldn't help but show a strong smile on his face.

The more anxious Xuanzang becomes, the more valuable it will be for him to step forward at this time and inform him of Feidan's whereabouts, won't it?
