Chapter 13 The waters of the Journey to the West world are too deep!
Before this.
The Jade-Faced Fox had heard of this patrolling deity before, but only knew a little about him and didn't really understand him.
She originally thought Chen Xuan was just a cultivator in the early stage of True Immortal.
Trying to defeat an enemy by leaping several minor realms is somewhat far-fetched, even like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—overestimating one's own abilities.
However, young people are prone to acting impulsively and showing off their power, which inevitably leads to fierce battles and life-or-death struggles.
The Jade-Faced Fox never expected this...
The opponent was able to kill a cat demon at the peak of True Immortal in one move!
Indeed, worthy of being personally taught by a sage!
The dazzling golden light and the orthodox Taoist thunder magic techniques startled her so much that she forgot to breathe.
"My lord, spare my life! This lowly demon was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please let me go!"
The demon cat, no longer arrogant and domineering, kowtowed and begged repeatedly.
He wasn't truly repentant; he was simply afraid of death.
"This bizarre snow disaster, this act of utter disregard for human life, was it all your doing? Are there any accomplices?"
Chen Xuan asked indifferently, his eyes still filled with murderous intent.
"Your Honor, you have wronged me! This lowly demon was misled and deceived, blinded by greed. I know I was wrong!"
Even as death looms, the demon cat still clings to a sliver of hope, so it tries to shift the blame, confessing all its crimes and pleading for leniency.
The reason was that this cat demon was secretly colluding with the local city god. In order to gain merit and promotion, the city god tacitly allowed him to refine snow with living people and harm living beings.
The local city god uses the lives of ordinary people to build his own political achievements; the demon cat, under the city god's protection, runs rampant in its demon lair, eating raw meat and drinking blood. The two benefit each other, disregarding human life, and each and every one of their crimes is heinous and outrageous.
Having learned everything, Chen Xuan said no more. Thunder crackled in his palm, and with a flick of his finger, he obliterated the wicked cat demon.
Before the opponent could even make a move, it turned into a wisp of ashes and vanished without a trace.
After the demon cat's remnant soul dissipated, the lightning in the cave gradually subsided, leaving only a mess on the ground. Afterwards, Chen Xuan destroyed the cave, buried some filth, and then chanted the Golden Light Incantation to simply perform a ritual to release the wronged souls of the human race who had died unjustly in the cave.
"May the heavens be mighty! Without further ado, let us immediately find that City God and expose his despicable deeds!"
After Chen Xuan finished his business, the Jade-Faced Fox eagerly grabbed his hand and said excitedly.
But the result was unexpected.
As soon as she finished speaking, a layer of brilliant golden light suddenly appeared around her, and the Taiyi Golden Light Mantra condensed into chains, binding her firmly.
Moreover, the binding techniques used in daily life are quite sophisticated.
Shaped and textured...
The jade-faced fox was immediately terrified and asked urgently, "God, what does this mean?"
Chen Xuan stepped forward slowly, his gaze as cold as frost, sweeping over her panicked face: "You led me here all the way, truly only to eliminate this True Immortal Cat Demon? Tell me, what exactly are you plotting!"
The Jade-Faced Fox was stunned, its expression changing slightly. It quickly composed itself, smiled slightly, and then lowered its head, saying, "The wisdom of the gods is indeed evident; nothing can be hidden from them. To be honest, this cat demon, relying on the support of that mere City God, wields immense power and has always disregarded the fox clan of Wansui City, repeatedly oppressing our people. It has long been a thorn in the side of my father, the Wansui Fox King."
However, he was protected by celestial officials and city gods, so our clan dared not act rashly and had no choice but to rely on the hands of the gods to eliminate this great scourge.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile, knowing that the other party's words were sincere, but incomplete.
He then took a few steps closer, grabbed the fox spirit's chin, and stared at her with eyes sharp as knives, piercing her heart, and asked again, "Do you think these words can fool everyone? When others learn of my identity as an inspector of the heavens, they all tremble with fear, but you remain calm and composed. Something is definitely amiss."
"Furthermore, you have been secretly following me ever since I arrived in the Huashan region. This was no accident; it was clearly premeditated. Don't think that I, a celestial being, am unaware of this."
Geek!
Chen Xuan's words revealed the secret, causing the Jade-Faced Fox to tremble and freeze in shock.
Then, the jade-faced fox gritted her teeth, turned her head away, and stubbornly said, "This servant doesn't know what the gods are saying!"
"Don't know?" Chen Xuan snorted coldly, and purple lightning flashed in his palm. The crackling lightning, carrying a chilling killing intent, went straight for the face of the Jade-Faced Fox.
The overwhelming pressure swept over her, making her hair stand on end, her lips turn white, and her alluring charm vanish.
It should be known that this Taoist palm lightning technique is the nemesis of demons, making all evil spirits in the world fear it as if it were a tiger.
The Jade-Faced Fox was only at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, and having been pampered and spoiled since childhood, how could she withstand such severe torture?
He could no longer maintain his tough stance, collapsed to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "I'll talk! I'll talk!"
She gasped for breath, no longer daring to conceal the truth, and said in a trembling voice, "It was...it was Father King Fox King's order. We bought some inside information from the Heavenly Court and learned that a patrolling deity in the Heavenly Court has recently been gaining popularity. He angrily confronted Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, in the Lingxiao Palace and has won the favor of the Jade Emperor. Moreover, you are a direct disciple of the Taiqing Sage and are currently experiencing the mortal world. Father King intends to curry favor with you, so...that's why he ordered me to take this opportunity to get close to you and lead you to eliminate the cat demon, so as to form a good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's pupils constricted sharply, filled with astonishment, and he blurted out instinctively, "News from the Heavenly Court can actually be bought and sold privately?"
He never imagined that the speed at which information spread in this Journey to the West world was no less than that of the 'Internet' in his previous life!
Whether it's their own identity and origins, or the Lingxiao Palace incident, they can all be bribed by the demon race in the lower realm to make advance plans and arrangements.
Thinking back on it this way, I guess the Buddhist sect already knew that I had come down to the mortal realm for training, given how I humiliated the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat in the Lingxiao Palace. They might even harbor resentment and try to trip me up in secret!
Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Chen Xuan's heart sank suddenly, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet, rushing straight to the top of his head.
Originally, I thought that my trip down to the mortal realm was just to handle a snow disaster murder case, but I never expected that it would involve the secret collusion between the demon realm and the heavenly court.
This shows that the world of Journey to the West is far more complex than he imagined!
The strict heavenly rules atop the Lingxiao Palace have long been riddled with holes in unseen corners. The intricate web of interests and complex power dynamics is truly terrifying to contemplate.
It seems he's still too naive.
Chen Xuan stared at the jade-faced fox lying limp and trembling before him, feeling dazed. He sensed that the trials of the mortal world were far more dangerous than slaying demons and monsters...
Therefore, we need to be more careful and vigilant in the future.
"You should leave now."
Gathering his scattered thoughts, Chen Xuan removed the Golden Light Spell binding him, spoke calmly, and turned to leave.
The Jade-Faced Fox froze, stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment, followed by disbelief.
As she watched Chen Xuan's departing figure, the panic in her eyes faded, replaced by a faint sense of reluctance and loss.
The dazzling golden light and thunderous methods she had just witnessed had already filled her with awe and a sense of inexplicable admiration.
She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her lips moved slightly as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end, it only turned into a barely audible sigh.
A cold wind swept in from the mountain pass, whipping the strands of hair at her temples. She stood amidst the mess, gazing at the figure in black, not moving an inch for a long time…
A myriad of thoughts swirl in my mind, impossible to unravel or untangle.
Oh no, it feels like I'm in love!
It's love at first sight!

afterwards.
Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to find the City God to punish him. Instead, he leaped into the air, placing the huge and majestic Mount Hua under his feet and looking down at all the other mountains.
The next moment, he raised his hand, formed a hand seal, and chanted a divine decree:
"Where are the Three Holy Mothers of Mount Hua?!"
