When the old Taoist heard the boy say that the Great Sage Kui Long had come, his snow-white eyebrows furrowed, and he asked, "Where is he?"
“I arranged for him to rest next door,” the boy replied.
Then the two went to the neighboring courtyard, only to find that the person had already disappeared. The boy was dumbfounded.
The old Taoist priest quickly realized what was happening, cried out in alarm, and went to the quiet room in the front courtyard. Seeing that three magical treasures were missing, he couldn't help but curse, "That wicked beast!"
Upon seeing this, the boy realized he had let a wolf into the house and quickly stepped forward to apologize.
The old Taoist sighed and said, "So be it! This wicked child has probably been plotting this all along, so you can't be blamed."
He shook his head again and continued, "Now that he has obtained the spiritual treasure, he will surely cause trouble in the future. We should leave this place quickly to avoid this wicked creature causing trouble and ruining my peaceful cultivation..."
As he spoke, he bowed to the Taiji diagram, pointed at it, and the Taiji diagram on the wall flew up and landed in his hand. Then he got up and left the Zifu Temple, picked up the Taiji diagram and shook it. The scroll unfurled and enveloped the entire Taoist temple.
The Purple Mansion Temple vanished instantly.
"Master! Where do we go next?" the boy asked.
The old Taoist chuckled and replied, "Naturally, I've returned to Kunlun Mountain. I'll take you there to pay your respects to the patriarch..."
...
After obtaining the spiritual treasure, the Great Sage Kuilong did not dare to delay and pushed his escape speed to the limit. Before long, he returned to the sky and arrived at the camp.
He gave Bai Ze, the demon saint, an order to continue leading his men to guard the camp, and then found a quiet place to refine the spiritual treasure.
During the refining process, he found that the three spiritual treasures were being refined surprisingly smoothly. In just one day, he had refined each of the three spiritual treasures with a restriction.
That's enough for him.
Moreover, after understanding the power of the magical treasure, he was filled with confidence for the upcoming battle.
The next day, he ordered his men to remove the truce sign and led the demon soldiers out of the camp.
The Grand Marshal of Subduing Demons and the Marshal of the Heavenly River had tried to attack several times but had been unable to break through the protective formation on the demon camp. They were having a headache when they saw that the enemy dared to come out and fight. They were more than happy to see this.
So the two of them led their troops to meet them.
The Grand Marshal of Subduing Demons rode a celestial horse into the arena and shouted, "Kui Long! You traitor! You've finally dared to show your face."
Kui Long Dasheng also rode a striped tiger out of the army formation, pointed his spear at the Demon Subduing Marshal, and said: "Yuanzhen, do not be arrogant. Today I will surely cut you down from your horse."
"Bah! How arrogant! I wonder who it was that was beaten so badly by this marshal last time?" Yuan Zhen spat.
Although the Great Sage Kuilong was arrogant, he still had a sense of shame. When the other party mentioned the previous defeat, he couldn't help but blush.
"Hey! You dare bring up what happened last time? If you hadn't ambushed me with your magical treasure, how could you possibly be my match?" Great Sage Kuilong retorted forcefully.
Yuan Zhen sneered, "A defeat is a defeat. What excuses are you making? If you have the guts, fight me again this time and see how I beat you so badly you'll be running for your life."
"Pah! You bastard, stop bragging. Let's settle this with our skills."
After saying that, the Great Sage Kuilong stopped wasting words with him, gently squeezed his legs together, and the striped tiger rose into the clouds beneath its feet, leaping out suddenly.
Kui Long, the Great Sage, sat upright on the tiger's back, raised his long spear, and thrust the spear tip straight at Yuan Zhen's chest.
"Good timing!"
Yuan Zhen also urged his celestial horse forward, drew his Demon-Slaying Sword, and swept it across the spear.
As the two passed each other, the sound of clashing weapons suddenly rang out...
The two engaged in another fierce battle.
Seeing that the Great Sage Kui Long was already entangled with Yuan Zhen, Marshal Tianhe thought that his opportunity had come. He picked up an octagonal silver hammer, stepped out of the formation, and shouted, "I am Marshal Tianhe. Who among you dares to fight me?"
"Don't be so arrogant, I'll fight you!"
Before the words were finished, a general rushed out from the demon army, riding on a leopard and carrying a halberd, heading straight for Marshal Tianhe.
The two immediately engaged in combat, exchanging blows for only five or six rounds before Marshal Tianhe suddenly unleashed a palm strike of lightning.
With a loud bang, the ball of lightning exploded in front of the demon general.
The demon general and his mount could not withstand the force and plummeted from the sky, their bodies charred black, directly into the layer of fierce winds, thunder, and fire. Their fate remains unknown.
"Hahaha... They're utterly pathetic, like chickens and dogs, utterly defenseless!"
After winning the victory, Marshal Tianhe immediately burst into triumphant laughter.
After laughing, he looked at the demon race again, "Who else?"
Ji Meng glanced at the demon generals beside him and knew that their strength might be slightly stronger than that of ordinary heavenly generals, but compared to Marshal Tianhe, they were all no match. Even if someone went up, it would only be a pointless death.
"You scoundrel, don't be so arrogant! Let me teach you a lesson!"
Ji Meng immediately leaped out and arrived opposite Marshal Tianhe. With a flick of his wrist, he revealed a gleaming sword and engaged Marshal Tianhe in battle.
If he were to get serious, Marshal Tianhe would be no match for him at all; he could probably take him down in just a few rounds.
However, he had come in disguise, so he couldn't reveal his strength. Therefore, when fighting Marshal Tianhe, he deliberately concealed most of his strength.
On the surface, the two were locked in a fierce battle, with neither able to gain the upper hand for the time being.
Next, the Twenty-Eight Constellations of the Heavenly Court stepped forward to challenge them.
Yingzhao went into battle and clashed with the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
As they continued to fight, they began to question the meaning of life once again.
In their last encounter, the opponent fielded three opponents who fought to a draw. Later, the opponent reduced their force to two, but they still managed to fight to a standstill.
This time, the opponent was alone, but they had summoned the power of the stars and set up a battle formation, yet the opponent still handled it with ease...
Little did they know that their opponent was none other than Yingzhao, the renowned Demon Saint of the demon race.
With their meager strength, if Yingzhao were truly willing to fight, he could probably crush them all with a mere flick of his wrist...
On the other side, the Demon-Subduing Grand Marshal Yuan Zhen and the Great Sage Kui Long had already fought for over a hundred rounds, and it was still difficult to determine a winner.
Yuan Zhen was impatient and wanted to resort to his old tricks. He immediately made a feint, spurred his horse and jumped out of the circle. In a flash, he was about to unleash his magical treasure.
Unexpectedly, the Great Sage Kuilong did not pursue him. Instead, a jade bottle suddenly appeared in his hand, and he shouted loudly at him, "Grand Marshal Yuan Zhen, the Demon Subduer!"
"Why are you calling me grandpa?!" Yuan Zhen blurted out instinctively.
Unexpectedly, just as he answered, his body suddenly flew up involuntarily and disappeared into the jade bottle in the blink of an eye.
This sudden change was as swift as a rabbit leaping and a falcon swooping.
The outcome was decided in an instant.
"My darling!"
Kui Long the Great Sage praised it, put away the jade bottle, and looked up at the heavenly soldiers and generals opposite him...
