Nangong Chen calmed himself down and said:

"The demon race in the Fumo Star Domain and the Heng Domain had long harbored resentment towards Buddhism, and they were forced to believe in Buddha in the first place."

They are the easiest force to win over, but the higher-ups in the Demon Subduing Starfield seem to have deduced our strategy and are waiting for us to come to them in the Hengyu.

Xiao Xi was captured by them as soon as she arrived in Hengyu!

After a moment of silence, Ling Yun asked:

"Did they threaten or even kill Fairy Xiaoxi from the Demon Subduing Star Region?"

Nangong Chen shook his head, "No! Xiaoxi's soul tablet is still here!"

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Yun said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the Demon Subduing Starfield is waiting for us to rescue it."

Rescuing her would mean facing encirclement and slaughter; not rescuing Nangong Xi would allow her to be used as a bargaining chip to disrupt the morale of the Tang army when the great battle began!

"Sigh~" Nangong Chen said with a sorrowful expression, "Given Xiaoxi's personality, if she knew that she was being used as a bargaining chip to harm Tangyu's interests, she would choose to end her own life."

Xiao Xi was my favorite descendant, and I truly cannot bear to see her perish.

After speaking, Nangong Chen bowed deeply to Ling Yun and his group.

"I, an old man, shamelessly beg you gentlemen to lend a hand and rescue Xiao Xi!"

Qiongqi helped Nangong Chen up and said solemnly:

"Wow!"

“I’ll go! I’m familiar with Buddhism!” the Great Sage said in a deep voice.

Ling Yun waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"The higher-ups of the Demon Subduing Star Domain must have deduced that either Brother Qiongqi or Brother Dasheng would come to the rescue."

"You two are both key targets of the Buddhist sect's manhunt. The moment either of you falls into the Eternal Domain, you will be detected immediately."

"So you're going?" Qiongqi asked.

Ling Yun looked at the Golden Lion:

“Brother Lion, go ahead! The main force of this ambush will definitely be a powerful Immortal King. They won’t expect you to go, so we can take them by surprise.”

After a pause, Ling Yun smiled meaningfully:

"I cast a divination for you yesterday, Brother Lion, and your marriage is just around the corner! Perhaps a Daoist partner who can accompany you for life is waiting for you in the Hengyu Realm!"

"Hmm?" The Golden Lion was speechless. "Brother Ling, you wouldn't be saying this on purpose just to get me to go, would you?"

Ling Yun laughed:

Even if I didn't say it that way, you'd still go, knowing your personality!

Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion felt a sense of anticipation.

Nangong Chen was deeply moved and quickly bowed to the Golden Lion.

"Thank you very much, Brother Lion!"

Golden Lion waved his hand and said seriously:

"I quite like that girl Nangong Xi too!"

"Do you have a map of the constant domain? Let's study the action plan!"

Ling Yun took out a talisman and drew hundreds of static talisman patterns on it, then stuck it on the golden lion's chest.

"With this talisman, your aura can be completely concealed."

Nangong Chen took out a map of the Hengyu Domain and pointed to the location of the Hengyu Demon Domain.

"Xiao Xi must be imprisoned near the Demon Realm. They must be planning to ambush and rescue her, thereby deterring the demon race."

I deduce that the place of imprisonment is not far from the Demon Lord's dojo, right here in this mountain!

Everyone looked at the mountain called Zhanshi Mountain.

"Slaying Lion Mountain!" Upon seeing this name, Golden Lion was immediately enraged.

Nangong Chen said:

"The ruler of the Demon Realm is a clan of blue-eyed, golden-eyed, red-haired lions. This mountain was named later to intimidate the Demon Lord."

"Hmph! I'll smash this mountain to pieces!" the golden lion said angrily.

How dare they name it Lion-Slaying Mountain? Do they think they don't respect the Golden Lion?!

Ling Yun patted the Golden Lion on the shoulder and laughed:

"It's just the name of a mountain. We must not impulsively smash this mountain and alert our opponents."

Golden Lion nodded. "Alright, I'll set off right away!"

Immediately, Nangong Chen and the Golden Lion headed to the starry sky, while Qiongqi, worried about them, lay in ambush in the starry sky, ready to rescue them if anything happened.

A day later, the Golden Lion arrived in Hengyu without a sound.

Just as Ling Yun had predicted, the Demon Subduing Star Domain had not expected the Golden Lion to come at all; they were on guard against powerful beings at the Immortal King level and above.

The Golden Lion even swaggered past a powerful Buddhist master, who remained with his eyes closed, not even looking at him.

Of course, it's mainly related to the talisman that Ling Yun drew.

At this moment, the Golden Lion arrived at the foot of Lion-Slaying Mountain.

At a glance, one could see that three True Immortals were lying in ambush around Zhan Shi Mountain: two from the Demon Subduing Star Domain and one Buddhist Bodhisattva.

They are using a unique Buddhist method of sensing the surrounding atmosphere.

The Golden Lion was very familiar with this method and easily evaded their divine senses to reach the building on the mountaintop.

This place is specifically used to monitor the demon realm.

Nangong Xi was imprisoned here.

The golden lion made no attempt to hide itself and swaggered into the building.

The high monk guarding the building immediately became wary upon seeing the handsome, blond-haired golden lion that had transformed into human form.

However, they quickly relaxed their guard, assuming that no one would dare to swagger in, and that it must be some powerful figure.

Furthermore, they could not sense the aura emanating from the Golden Lion, which further convinced them that he was a powerful being who was hiding his true strength.

The golden lion stopped in its tracks and approached a powerful being at the Divine Venerable Realm, asking:

"Who is guarding the Tang Dynasty spies?!"

After the Tribulation Transcending stage comes the Dao Integration, Dao Severing, Heavenly Venerable, Dao Venerable, God Venerable, and Supreme Venerable.

The Supreme One is the legendary Great Emperor.

Above the Great Emperor lies the Immortal Realm.

The powerful being at the Divine Venerable Realm immediately felt an immense pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down on him, and hurriedly said:

"Reporting to my lord, it is the Golden Lion Clan who are guarding the Tang Domain spies."

The Golden Lion Clan!

The golden lion was slightly taken aback, not expecting it to be a member of the same race.

The Grandmaster cultivator continued:

"That fairy lady said that no one is allowed to see the Tang spy without her permission."

"She's a female Golden Lion!" The Golden Lion's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself:

"Could she be the Daoist partner Brother Ling mentioned who will accompany me for life?"

The golden lion calmed himself and said in a deep voice:

"Understood. Be careful to conceal your presence to prevent the Tang Domain's rescuers from noticing."

"Yes, sir!"

The powerful being at the Divine Venerable Realm immediately responded respectfully.

Immediately, the Golden Lion strode towards the inner courtyard, sensing the presence of his kin there.

Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, the Golden Lion secretly probed with its divine sense and saw a woman with golden hair, a golden skirt, and an exquisitely beautiful face sitting cross-legged in the inner courtyard.

The moment he saw the woman, the golden lion clutched his chest.

"Oh no, this is what it feels like to fall in love!"

Back when it was Buddha's mount, the Golden Lion held a prominent position in the Buddhist universe, and countless women threw themselves at him, but he rejected them all.

He just didn't find the right one, even though he had met many stunning fairies along the way after following the Great Sage.

But none of them could catch the eye of the Golden Lion.

Only this fairy before him, the Golden Lion fell in love at first sight.

At that moment, his heart was pounding, and his love was uncontrollable. He couldn't wait to rush over and express his love.

"No way! I'm here to rescue people, not to pick up girls!"

Golden Lion forced himself to calm down, touched his face, and suddenly said:

"In terms of appearance, I am quite handsome, so why not use my good looks to my advantage?"
