Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 475 : Disbanding the Water Clan
Green Wave Pool, Wansheng Dragon Palace.
A woman who looked young and beautiful, apparently in her early twenties, quietly sat in front of her mirror.
Gazing at the peerless visage in the mirror, she smiled faintly, quite pleased with her own beauty—Princess Wansheng felt extremely satisfied.
However, moments later, a deep sigh escaped from Princess Wansheng's lips.
Although in these years, she and the Nine-Headed Serpent had faced many difficulties before they could finally be together, and although the couple had been very loving, there was a significant regret.
That is, after so many years, she and the Nine-Headed Serpent had not conceived a child.
Even though the Nine-Headed Serpent had married into the Wansheng Dragon Palace, the absence of a child for so long made Princess Wansheng feel somewhat guilty towards him.
Even in recent years, her father had been hinting about matters of the bedchamber, presumably anxious for her to hurry up and become pregnant.
"Princess, you truly are beautiful..."
By Princess Wansheng's side, a maiden was helping to clean the room. Glancing at Princess Wansheng sitting before the mirror, the maiden spoke up.
"You, girl, have such a sweet tongue!" Hearing the maiden's words, the corners of Princess Wansheng's lips lifted slightly; obviously, she was very pleased to hear someone else praise her beauty, and the disappointment in her heart dissipated considerably.
"Princess, this isn't just flattery, these are words from the bottom of my heart!" Hearing the princess's words, the maiden replied earnestly.
"Alright, I admit you have a way with words. Are we done now?"
With a gentle smile, Princess Wansheng spoke, and as if thinking of something, she added, "By the way, do you know where the Prince Consort has gone? These past two days, I seem to have not seen him at all!"
"Princess, I encountered Baboerben, the attendant of the Prince Consort, and he mentioned that the Prince Consort has been busy preparing a gift for you these few days! Isn't your birthday just two days away? The Prince Consort is really good to you, Princess!" Hearing the inquiry, the maiden answered.
This response made the corners of Princess Wansheng's mouth rise, feeling equally happy.
Whoosh!
But just at that moment, suddenly, a figure burst into the bedchamber like a whirlwind—it was the Nine-Headed Serpent transformed into human form.
"Husband, why such a flustered look, what has happened?" Seeing the Nine-Headed Serpent rushing in like a gust of wind, Princess Wansheng was slightly startled and asked him in surprise.
"Let's go, we need to leave quickly, disaster has struck, a great disaster..." The Nine-Headed Serpent looked urgent, with no time to explain much, and started to pull Princess Wansheng towards the outside.
"Husband, wait, what exactly happened? What disaster?" Seeing the Nine-Headed Serpent's appearance, Princess Wansheng was inwardly amazed and asked in confusion.
"Aolie, Aolie has already arrived near Green Wave Pool, and he may reach us at any moment!" Hearing Princess Wansheng's anxious questions, the Nine-Headed Serpent hurriedly explained.
"Aolie?!" Upon hearing the Nine-Headed Serpent's words, Princess Wansheng's face changed, revealing a complex expression.
Although she did not regret what happened in the past, whenever she remembered betraying Aolie on her wedding day, Princess Wansheng also felt a bit of remorse.
And because of her, Aolie, the Crown Prince of the Western Sea Dragon Palace, had been punished to atone for his sins beneath Eagle Sorrow Stream.
"Aolie? Wasn't he punished by the Jade Emperor to do penance under Eagle Sorrow Stream? How could he be here? And although Aolie is formidable, your abilities are not weaker than his!"
Although feeling remorseful, Princess Wansheng also found it strange.
Aolie was formidable, but the Nine-Headed Serpent was even stronger than him, so what was there to fear?
"Aolie did not come alone; he came transformed as the mount of the Tang Monk, and as for strength? Just now, I fought with him for a while; his cultivation level has increased a lot, and I can't beat him!" Shaking his head, the Nine-Headed Serpent replied.
Having said all this, the Nine-Headed Serpent urged Princess Wansheng to hurriedly leave the bedchamber and headed towards the main hall of the Dragon King Wansheng.
At the same time, the Nine-Headed Serpent continued, "That Tang Monk possesses an immense strength; even the Ten Thousand Years Iron Turtle of Black Sand River was killed by him with just a few punches!"
"Moreover, there are three disciples accompanying the Tang Monk: General Juanlian of the Heavenly Court, Marshal Tianpeng, and finally the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. If Aolie brings the entire Pilgrimage Team from the Journey to the West here, then even if we want to escape, we won't be able to!" Shaking his head, the Nine-Headed Serpent urgently continued.
"Hiss, Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong!? Even the Tang Monk has killed the Ten Thousand Years Iron Turtle of Black Sand River!"
Hearing the Nine-Headed Serpent's words, Princess Wansheng finally understood the current situation; but for this very reason, she inhaled a breath of cold air in her heart.
```
No wonder the Nine-Headed Serpent was so frightened; Aolie need not worry, but the reputation of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, was truly too terrifying.
Even the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas had been utterly suppressed by him, so how could the Dragon Palace of Green Wave Pool stand against the might of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven?
"Let's go, let's hurry up and leave!" Having realized the seriousness of the situation, Princess Wansheng nodded and said hastily.
In the midst of speaking, she found her father and recounted the current situation to him.
"What!? Aolie of the Western Sea Dragon Palace has already joined the Journey to the West pilgrimage team? Even with Sun Wukong? It's over, hurry, pack up, we need to lay low for a while!" The Old Dragon King Wansheng, hearing the name Sun Wukong, was also visibly frightened and spoke in a rush.
Watching the shrimp soldiers and crab generals decisively start packing their belongings, after thinking it over, the Dragon King Wansheng stopped them: "Wait, no need to pack, just hurry up and leave! We don't have that much time to pack our things now! Let's quickly leave and talk again after two months!"
"Yes, Dragon King!" The surrounding shrimp soldiers and crab generals nodded in succession, heeding the words of Dragon King Wansheng.
Knowing that danger could strike at any moment, the Water Clan of Green Wave Pool, following the order of Dragon King Wansheng, quickly sprang into action, scattering and fleeing, to return after two months.

If nothing unexpected happened, by then the Journey to the West pilgrimage team might have already left.
...
Jiang Liu and his companions, of course, were not aware of the situation in Green Wave Pool, where even now, Xiaobai, the Little White Dragon Aolie, looked somewhat lost. Clearly, he had no definitive plan on how to deal with Princess Wansheng and the Nine-Headed Serpent.
After pondering for a moment, Aolie simply said they should first go and take a look at Wansheng Dragon Palace.
Perhaps after seeing Princess Wansheng and the Nine-Headed Serpent, he would know what to do.
"Amitabha, since that's what you feel is best, Xiaobai, we naturally respect your decision," said Jiang Liu in response to Little White Dragon Aolie.
With that, everyone knew what to do. The master and disciples leaped into the sky one by one, all flying toward the direction of Chaotic Stone Mountain and Green Wave Pool.
Within moments, Jiang Liu and company arrived above Green Wave Pool.
However, looking down from their high vantage, the expressions of Jiang Liu and the others subtly changed.
Because they could see that the Water Clan from Green Wave Pool, especially the higher cultivation-level demons capable of leaving the water, had all left, scattering in all directions.
"What's going on!? Could it be..." Seeing the escape of the demons of Green Wave Pool, Jiang Liu and the others were first surprised, then seemed to guess something, formulating a hypothesis in their minds.
Having a guess, they naturally sought to verify it.
Jiang Liu raised his hand, and from the three special equipment slots, the Ninth-Grade Black Lotus heart moved on its own, directly flying out.
A bright light suddenly shot out from the midst of the Ninth-Grade Black Lotus, directly enveloping a crab demon marshal with a human body and a crab's head, and snatched him from the water.
"Who are you people, daring to act recklessly in my Green Wave Pool!" Having been captured by the Ninth-Grade Black Lotus, the crab demon marshal instead threatened Jiang Liu and the others.
"It seems you wish to die!" Seeing the crab demon marshal dare to threaten him, Jiang Liu's brow slightly rose, and he spoke.
With the fall of Jiang Liu's words, driven by his will, the light emanating from the Ninth-Grade Black Lotus carried not just a controlling effect, but also a damaging one.
Having reached level 59, Jiang Liu was only a step away from the Peak of the Returning Void Realm, far above this marshal's level by more than a dozen ranks. Coupled with the equipment like the Ninth-Grade Black Lotus, the attack power attribute activated, the crab demon marshal immediately began to scream in agony.
At the same time, the health bar above his head deflated like a punctured ball, dropping by about one-third in an instant.
"How about now? Ready to cooperate properly?" Jiang Liu asked following the near-instantaneous reduction of the marshal's health by one-third.
"Master, please ask your questions! This little demon will spare no effort to answer fully and truthfully!" After suffering pain, the crab demon marshal became quite aware of the current situation and hastily spoke.
"Good!" Seeing the crab demon marshal being so cooperative, Jiang Liu nodded and asked, "What's happening with Green Wave Pool? Why does it seem like all the Water Clan members are fleeing for their lives?"
"Well, Master, I'm not quite sure myself! It was an order personally given by the Dragon King, telling everyone to leave Green Wave Pool and hide out for a while, apparently because we've provoked some very powerful figures!" Hearing Jiang Liu's question, the marshal struggled to answer, but he relayed what he knew to Jiang Liu.
"Really? It must be that the Nine-Headed Serpent was so afraid that he ordered all the Water Clan members of Green Wave Pool Dragon Palace to disperse, right?" Upon hearing the marshal's answer, Jiang Liu inwardly nodded, confirming his suspicion.
"Then, do you know where Dragon King Wansheng, Princess Wansheng, and your Prince Consort are?"
