Suddenly, a beam of white light fell from the sky! A figure appeared abruptly! She was elegant and graceful, with a composed and unperturbed demeanor, yet possessed an air of domineering arrogance!
The cat swung the whip in its hand and immediately exclaimed, "It's you!"
Mu Jin grabbed the cat's hand.
The Crane-Hidden Venerable's expression changed, and he immediately smiled, "What brings the Queen Mother here? Don't you trust the Ninth Prince to handle things?"
Xi Yuan immediately replied, "Mother."
He seemed a little nervous, glancing at the cat as if he wanted to hide her away, hoping she wouldn't curse at him.
This figure was none other than the Queen Mother of the West from Kunlun Immortal Mountain!
Ye Mingshi and the others were so surprised that they fell silent.
"I think I heard... she is the Queen Mother of the West?"
Jiu Yebai frowned. "Isn't this the mistress of Kunlun Immortal Mountain? Cat Cat, she..."
The cat and she have a deep-seated grudge! He couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After observing calmly, Jiu Yunchi said, "This is not the Queen Mother of the West herself."
Ye Mingshi immediately asked, "Who is that?"
Jiu Yunchi glanced at him: "It is the Queen Mother of the West, but not the real person. This is just a shadow that appears here using magic."
The others looked closely and it seemed to be just as Jiu Yunchi had said, but... it was too realistic.
The Queen Mother of the West looked at the cat and said in a majestic voice, "Cat, back then you caused a great disturbance at my Immortal Banquet and injured so many immortals of my Kunlun Immortal Mountain. I spared you from being captured because you were reflecting in hell for a thousand years. Do you know your mistake now?"
The cat snorted disdainfully, "The cat spent a thousand years in hell because it was waiting for Ah Jin, not..."
It's not about reflecting on her actions, and she didn't do anything wrong!
However, before she could finish speaking, Venerable Crane Hidden flew down to the cat's side as if his eyebrows were on fire, interrupting her!
"Queen Mother! She knew she was wrong long ago! Ever since I brought her to the mortal realm, she has cultivated herself here, never indiscriminately killing the innocent. Instead, she has become a star revered and worshipped by countless families, gaining immense faith and accumulating immeasurable merit. She is no longer some bloodthirsty little witch!"
Cat frowned and looked at Venerable Crane Hidden. Why was this old man spouting nonsense to her?
She's right, that's all! Why should we admit it!
The Hidden Crane Venerable hurriedly used a telepathic technique to say to the cat, "My little aunt, you must listen to me! What did you promise me when I released you? Be a good person! I'm doing this for your own good, have I lied to you?!"
"Do as I say, and the Queen Mother will stop bothering you! Do you really want to be separated from Jin Shen for hundreds or thousands of years?!"
Cat paused, glanced suspiciously at Venerable Crane Hidden, and began to ponder.
However, she ultimately did not refute it.
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West nodded gracefully, "I have already asked Yama about this matter. You are right. This little witch has been able to restrain her murderous intent, so her repentance has not been in vain."
Judging from her tone, although she seemed aloof, she appeared somewhat satisfied.
Mu Jin glanced at Venerable Crane Hidden, who seemed to understand something.
For the past two years, Venerable Crane Hermit has been dealing with this matter. It's easy to imagine that he couldn't possibly report the cat's killing karma in the mortal world to the King of Hell. He probably orchestrated everything with him.
Otherwise, if the Queen Mother of the West were to inquire, Yama would certainly have to report the truth.
As for the rest, it's easy to guess what Venerable Crane Hermit would say.
He was sure he would talk about how the cat was sincerely reflecting on its actions in hell...
Upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West's words, the cat merely hummed softly and turned its head away.
This action was seen by the Queen Mother of the West, who was clearly displeased. "Lord Crane-Hidden, is this what you meant by 'reflecting'? I don't see how resentful she is."
Crane Hermit Venerable: "Ha... She just doesn't understand the rules of the Heavenly Realm, not that she's arrogant. The Queen Mother is magnanimous and shouldn't hold such a trivial matter against her."
The Queen Mother of the West composed herself and said with an air of elegance and nobility, "That is indeed true... Never mind, I will not take it to heart."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West finally looked at Mu Jin. Her expression was noticeably worse than before. "Hmph, you are supposed to be Ziwei's disciple, yet you are so reckless, destroying the Demon-Sealing Array, reversing the star orbit, and willingly becoming a demon. Each of these is a grave crime!"
"If Ziwei doesn't punish you, you must come back to Kunlun Immortal Mountain with me to receive your punishment!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Crane Hidden was completely bewildered!
Upon hearing this, the cat's temper flared up instantly! "You can forget about punishing Ah Jin!"
Crane Hermit Venerable glared at the cat. "I just resolved your matter, and now you're making such a fuss, aren't you just causing trouble!"
As expected, the Queen Mother of the West was slightly angered.
Even though it was just a shadow, her oppressive aura descended from the sky, which was quite terrifying!
The most obvious symptoms were felt by Ye Mingshi and his companions, who were lying in the drafty cabin, suffering some pain.
The anger of these gods was like a storm, indiscriminately affecting everyone around them.
Mu Jin calmly said, "Queen Mother, you must have already investigated and found that Ye Li was 'indispensable' in causing all of this back then, and Kunlun Immortal Mountain's supervision of him was flawed, so it is also partly my fault. It cannot all be attributed to me."
Furthermore, I voluntarily entered the demonic path, so even if I am to be punished, it is up to my master to decide, and there is absolutely no possibility of anyone else taking my place.
As for accompanying you to the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, I absolutely cannot comply.
The Queen Mother of the West immediately retorted, "I think you're just being sophistical! Have you forgotten the calamities caused by reversing the celestial orbits? This is a matter of great importance that has disrupted the Three Realms! How can you let this slide!"
Now that your soul is complete and your body has been restored, you should definitely return! Where can you possibly escape to?!
Mu Jin scoffed, "Queen Mother, you've misunderstood. I didn't escape; I simply don't care about the Immortal Realm anymore."
