Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1019: The Dark Shadow Strikes

Heavenly Court, beneath the Heavenly River waters.

In a certain gloomy place at the bottom of the water, an altar quietly stands as if it has been there since ancient times, silent and dark.

However, at this moment, a beam of light falls onto the altar, and suddenly, the entire altar seems to come alive, with faint roars echoing from within.

At the same time, the whole altar begins to tremble.

This feeling seems as if something terrifying is trapped beneath the altar, now awakened and desperately trying to break free from the underground.

With the shaking and roaring, visible cracks begin to appear on the previously silent altar standing at the water’s bottom.

Mortal World, Long Eyebrow Temple.

Jiang Liu has gone to the Heavenly Court to return the Soul-Calming Stone, and Sun Wukong also left at the invitation of Fairy Zixia. Looking after the unconscious Long Eyebrow True Man, Zhu Bajie naturally shows no interest, so Sha Wujing is taking care of it.

Zhu Bajie is busy running around beside the White Mouse Demon with a cheerful disposition.

Even though his efforts have little effect, Zhu Bajie is thoroughly enjoying himself.

Just as Zhu Bajie is cheerfully chatting with the White Mouse Demon, suddenly, the sound of knocking resounds from the temple door, echoing boomingly.

Zhu Bajie, however, pretends not to hear the knocking.

"Senior Brother Bajie, someone is knocking at the door. Why don’t you go see who it is?" remarked the Little White Dragon, in the form of a white horse, unable to hold back.

"Opening the door at times like these, is that my responsibility too?" Zhu Bajie muttered inwardly, naturally unwilling due to his lazy nature.

However, with Junior Brother Sha taking care of the unconscious Long Eyebrow, Zhu Bajie had no choice but to show a grin to the White Mouse Demon and said, "Junior Sister White Mouse, please wait. Old Pig still has much to say to you. Let me first see who is at the door!"

As he spoke, Zhu Bajie turned around and jogged towards the temple’s gate.

Upon opening the door, Zhu Bajie was slightly taken aback. In front of him were two Heavenly Soldiers clad in armor.

Most importantly, Zhu Bajie was very familiar with these two Heavenly Soldiers.

"Greetings, Marshal!" Before Zhu Bajie could speak, the two Heavenly Soldiers saluted him.

"General Tidal Wave, Water Dividing General? Why have you come?" Zhu Bajie asked in astonishment, looking at the two Heavenly Generals before him.

Zhu Bajie was naturally very familiar with these two generals because back when he was Marshal Tianpeng, commanding eighty thousand naval forces of the Heavenly River, these two generals were his subordinates.

But now, without any reason, these two generals have unexpectedly descended to the Lower Realm, which naturally surprised Zhu Bajie.

More importantly, they seemed to have come specifically for him?

"Marshal, we have come specifically to find you!" The two generals said succinctly in response to Zhu Bajie’s words.

"For me? I’ve already been banished to the Mortal World by the Jade Emperor and have joined the Buddhist Sect now..." Zhu Bajie’s face showed a hint of self-mockery as he shook his head at the generals’ words. freёnovelkiss-com

"Marshal, although you have indeed been banished to the Mortal World, the Jade Emperor never officially issued a decree to revoke your position as Marshal Tianpeng. Moreover, your Water Mansion has been retained for you!" the two generals explained to Zhu Bajie’s self-mockery.

These words left Zhu Bajie speechless.

Indeed, though he was banished to the Mortal World and even reincarnated into a pig’s womb as punishment by the Jade Emperor, there was never a mention of removing his position as Marshal Tianpeng, and his Heavenly River Water Mansion was preserved, as if forgotten by His Majesty.

Thus, from a formal perspective, his identity still considered him as Marshal Tianpeng, and this was indeed the case.

Zhu Bajie, unwilling to dwell on this issue, changed the subject, saying, "What brings you to search for Old Pig today? Speak your mind!"

"Marshal, do you remember the Water Demon Beast you sealed under the Heavenly River a thousand years ago? It has broken free from its seal and escaped. This Water Demon Beast is powerful and possesses unique supernatural powers! Back then, you were the only one capable of subduing it, as you understand its powers best!"

The two generals, without further ado, explained their purpose for descending to the Lower Realm.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie’s brows furrowed slightly.

If it were just an ordinary creature, Zhu Bajie naturally wouldn’t care, but there had been enmity between him and the Water Demon Beast back then. If it had indeed escaped, it would be troublesome.

Even if he decided not to deal with it, in case it escaped, it would surely try to seek revenge. A situation where the enemy is in the dark and oneself is in the open is something Zhu Bajie naturally dislikes.

"Alright! In that case, I shall accompany you to the Heavenly Court for a visit!"

The Water Demon Beast’s strength lies in its unique innate divine abilities, but with his current Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level, Zhu Bajie is confident in handling it.

After nodding slightly, Zhu Bajie responded, then discussed the matter with Sha Wujing and the others, and left for the Heavenly River with the two Heavenly Generals.

Watching Zhu Bajie’s departing figure, the White Mouse Demon gazed for a long time without speaking...

However, Sha Wujing, standing nearby, noticed the White Mouse Demon constantly staring at Zhu Bajie’s departing figure, and felt a bit of suspicion in his heart, saying, "Junior Sister White Mouse Demon, are you reluctant to see Second Senior Brother leave?"

Indeed, Sha Wujing felt incredibly surprised in his heart. Could it really be that sincerity can open gold and stone? Has Junior Sister White Mouse Demon really fallen for him?

"Senior Brother Sha Wujing, that’s not the case!" Hearing Sha Wujing’s words, the White Mouse Demon retracted her gaze and naturally shook her head in denial.

Then, after a slight hesitation, the White Mouse Demon said, "Senior Brother Sha Wujing, don’t you feel there’s something fishy about this whole situation?"

"Something fishy? What do you mean?" The White Mouse Demon’s words made Sha Wujing gaze at her in surprise, completely confused by what she meant.

"Look, the Holy Monk went to the heavens to return the Soul-Calming Stone, Senior Brother Sun Wukong went to see the flowers in the Heavenly Court after being invited by Fairy Zixia, and now even Senior Brother Zhu Bajie went to the Heavenly River because of the Water Demon Beast breaking the seal there."

"Isn’t this a bit too coincidental?"

"Huh? It really does seem that way!" Women tend to be more meticulous, and hearing the White Mouse Demon’s words, Sha Wujing’s expression slightly changed, and he nodded in agreement.

If not for the White Mouse Demon’s reminder, he really wouldn’t have noticed this point.

Master, Senior Brother, and Second Senior Brother have all left? Doesn’t that mean all three Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team have left?

This matter really requires caution...

Seemingly to confirm the White Mouse Demon’s suspicions, just as her words fell, suddenly, a black shadow appeared.

Judging by the attire, this black shadow had some resemblance to Jiang Liu in the Shadow Robe, with a large black robe completely covering his figure, making it completely impossible to see his appearance, and then this figure directly entered the Taoist Temple.

"Who are you!?" As the black shadow entered the Taoist Temple, Sha Wujing naturally noticed him, his expression changing, and he shouted in a deep voice.

At the same time, raising his hand, the Flame Demon Battle Axe appeared in Sha Wujing’s hand, and blue-faced, ferocious-toothed Sha Wujing wielding the Flame Demon Battle Axe appeared quite imposing.

The black shadow ignored Sha Wujing’s blunt shout, and his figure directly rushed towards Long Eyebrow.

Obviously, his target was Long Eyebrow, and his speed was extremely fast!

Seeing the actions of the black shadow, Sha Wujing naturally couldn’t sit back and watch him make a move against Long Eyebrow, and with a swing of the Flame Demon Battle Axe in his hand, he chopped directly towards the black shadow.

This ax fell accompanied by billowing demonic qi mixed with flames, giving off an irresistible feeling.

With an epic-level weapon, a percentage increase after being used by the Demon Clan, and Sha Wujing’s current cultivation level of 77, in terms of momentum, it nearly approached the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal level, and was, of course, extraordinary.

With a resounding slap!

Despite Sha Wujing’s powerful strike, the black shadow’s reaction was even quicker, his hand flashing out like lightning, grabbing Sha Wujing’s wrist in an instant, stopping his ax from descending.

At the same time, twisting his waist, Sha Wujing, with a massive stature of three or four meters tall, was directly thrown out by the figure.

After throwing Sha Wujing away with a single move, the black shadow continued to pounce towards the unconscious Long Eyebrow.

Just at this moment, a dragon’s roar resounded.

It was the previously motionless White Dragon Horse, now transforming into its dragon form and charging towards the black shadow, its dragon claw reaching directly for the shadow.

Perceiving the Little White Dragon’s actions, the black shadow also raised his hand to slap towards the Little White Dragon.

When the dragon claw and the figure’s palm clashed, the Little White Dragon’s form was halted, but the black shadow was forced back several steps.

"How is this possible!?"

Although wearing a black robe, making it impossible to see the face under the robe, after being pushed back, the black shadow exclaimed in astonishment.

Obviously, losing in the power struggle left him extremely surprised.

The dragon-shaped Little White Dragon, hovering mid-air, blocked in front of Long Eyebrow, its eyes sharply staring at the black shadow ahead.

First consuming the remnant Dragon Ball of the Ancient Candle Dragon, the Little White Dragon’s bloodline evolved to a higher dragon clan bloodline, and later, it fused with part of the Zhurong bloodline...

In a pure power contest, the Little White Dragon was now nearly as strong as Sun Wukong.
