Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 268: The Godmother turned into a Godfather!?

At Pingding Mountain, the Gold Horn King and Silver Horn King, who were well known to Jiang Liu, were the Supreme Elder Lord’s two disciples; staying at Pingding Mountain was merely adding troubles for oneself.

If an Immortal from the heavens descended, Jiang Liu would have liked nothing more than to kill the adversary and let Guanyin wipe his butt, just as it had happened with the Floral Mink.

But could he, himself, kill these two disciples of the Supreme Elder Lord?

Thinking of this, a stirring desire emerged in Jiang Liu’s heart; if he truly could kill the Supreme Elder Lord’s two disciples, then Guanyin would surely have her hands full, wouldn’t she?

Although the Supreme Elder Lord was revered and high-ranking, he was after all just a split soul incarnation of the Saint Laozi.

Moreover, more importantly, as he remembered from the original text, the Gold Horn King and Silver Horn King had brought a great many treasures to the Lower Realm, hadn’t they?

Among them, there was the Purple Gold Gourd, the Jade Pure Bottle of Mutton-Fat Jade, the Seven-Star Precious Sword, the Shaking Golden Rope, and also a Banana Leaf Fan.

The Purple Gold Gourd and the Jade Pure Bottle of Mutton-Fat Jade had similar functions, both capable of containing people, seemingly used by Supreme Elder Lord to store Golden Pills and water, respectively.

And the Seven-Star Precious Sword was incredibly powerful; in the original text, although the treasures were tricked away by Sun Wukong, merely with the Seven-Star Precious Sword, the Gold Horn King was able to contend against Sun Wukong and his group—showing the extraordinary power of this treasure.

Of course, there is no need to go into detail about the Shaking Golden Rope, and then there is the Banana Leaf Fan, one used to fan wind in the hands of Princess Iron-Fan, while the one in the hands of the Gold Horn King and the others was used to fan flames.

"Two disciples of the Supreme Elder Lord? They are simply scattering their wealth!" Jiang Liu thought about the Gold Horn King and Silver Horn King possessing a series of treasures, feeling immensely tempted, and the thought of killing for treasure crossed his mind.

Since they specifically descended to create torment for him, whom could they blame if they were killed by him?

Moreover, first Floral Mink and now even the disciples of the Supreme Elder Lord had been killed, surely, Guanyin creating torments for him would become even more of a headache.

This, in turn, would indefinitely prolong the ninety-nine tribulations, and thus would offer him more time to grow and cultivate, right?

"This, master, even though you also have two demons protecting you, going there now is too dangerous, as Pingding Mountain is currently a den of demons!"

Leaving aside the murderous and looting thoughts in Jiang Liu’s mind, the bearded bandit hesitated for a moment and reluctantly spoke to Jiang Liu.

"What are you looking at? Demons? Are you calling me, Old Pig, a demon!?" Zhu Bajie, who was nearby, heard the bandit’s remarks and gruffly retorted.

"Benefactor, rest assured, my disciples are quite adept at subduing demons and eliminating evil. No matter how formidable the demons are, they can subdue them, so please entrust me with this task! I will subdue the demons of Pingding Mountain before we proceed," said Jiang Liu calmly, reassuring the bandit, enticing him to ask for his help.

"No way! Master! Although I am a bandit, I value loyalty. I cannot let others fall into danger for my sake!" However, the bandit refused decisively and with a passionate demeanor.

"You this fellow!"

While the bandit’s sense of honor was admirable, Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched slightly, his hand raising the Divine Tree Staff and striking it fiercely against a nearby huge stone.

With a loud bang, a stone as large as a water jar was completely shattered by Jiang Liu.

The fierce action caused the bandit’s complexion to change drastically, bewildered why the Little Monk had suddenly turned so ruthless.

"Enough with the nonsense! Speak up, ask for my help!" Trying to give a toast only to eat a forfeit, Divine Tree Staff pointed at the bandit, Jiang Liu spoke with a fierce demeanor.

This posture, holding the Divine Tree Staff and pointing at others, if he also had tattoos on his body and a cigarette in his mouth, one could believe he was just like a gangster of old.

This role reversal startled the bandit, who glanced at the shattered big stone nearby, nervously swallowed his saliva and pleaded, "Master, I beg you, please help me. Our Pingding Mountain has fallen into the hands of demons. I beg you to subdue those demons."

Almost simultaneously as the bandit spoke, the game system’s prompt sounded, indeed, a passive mission had been triggered.

"Ah, that’s more like it. Alright, you may leave now, rest assured, since you sincerely asked for my help, I will assuredly address it!" Having accepted the mission, Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction and spoke kindly to the bandit.

"Hehe, master, thank you!" Yet, seeing Jiang Liu’s kind and courteous manner again, the bandit’s mouth twitched, he reluctantly thanked him, then turned and ran off as fast as he could.

The sight of Jiang Liu seemingly appeared even more frightening than the demons of Pingding Mountain.

"Master, truly a person who is cold on the outside but kind at heart," Wujing, who had been silently observing all of Jiang Liu’s actions, quietly reflected to himself.

On the surface, the master looked fierce, but in reality, he was very proactive in helping them subdue demons and eliminate evil!

"Master, shall we take action now and subdue those demons!?" Unlike Sha Wujing’s thoughtfulness, Sun Wukong appeared somewhat impatient as he asked Jiang Liu.

There was a fight to be had, and Sun Wukong was feeling restless.

"No rush. Before we take action, let’s first go and scout out the situation. Knowing both ourselves and the enemy, we will not be endangered in a hundred battles!" Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Jiang Liu shook his head, his demeanor not urgent at all.

Indeed, their goal was to kill and seize treasures; it was best to scout out the situation first.

Anyway, after he had killed the Floral Mink, it surely must have alarmed the Immortals in the Heavenly Court, wondering if the Supreme Elder Lord’s two boys from the Lower Realm had given them some more magical treasures?

He couldn’t rely solely on the original story’s perspective when it came to the Gold Horn King and the Silver Horn King.

"Scout out the situation!? Then let me, Old Sun, go!" Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Sun Wukong nodded his head in agreement without any objections.

"Hmm, be careful not to be discovered!" Jiang Liu nodded slightly, agreeing to the plan.

With Jiang Liu’s approval, Sun Wukong leaped up and flew directly toward Pingding Mountain.

As for Jiang Liu? He wasn’t in a rush to enter the mountain but took out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion halfway there, waiting for the results of Sun Wukong’s reconnaissance.

"It seems that the demons of Pingding Mountain have quite the fortune!" Inside the Immortal Mansion, Zhu Bajie casually took an apple to munch on and suddenly spoke, expressing his feeling of wonder.

"Fortune? How so!?" Hearing Zhu Bajie’s words, Jiang Liu was slightly startled, looking at him in surprise, not understanding why he would make such a remark.

"That bandit just mentioned that two formidable demons had gathered a bunch of little demons and taken over Pingding Mountain. That means they haven’t eaten any humans, just chased them away instead! A demon that doesn’t eat people, isn’t that somewhat fortunate?" Zhu Bajie responded.

"Eh? That does make sense!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu nodded slightly.

Indeed, if those demons really ate people, how could he have waited for that bandit to ask for his help?

But thinking about it, it was right; after all, the Gold Horn King and the Silver Horn King were the Supreme Elder Lord’s boys, although they appeared in the guise of demon creatures, their essence was still that of the boys from the Doushuai Palace with Daoist cultivation, naturally, they wouldn’t eat people.

While Jiang Liu and others waited at the foot of Pingding Mountain, Sun Wukong had already entered the mountain and quickly found the demon’s den.

Then, his eyes twirling, he used a Method of Transformation and turned into a fly, stealthily flying in.

By this time, the weather was already summer, and it was natural for some mosquitoes and insects to be in the mountain woods, unlikely to draw attention.

Once inside the den, Sun Wukong indeed discovered a group of demons, though not many, only about twenty or thirty in total.

The two leading demon creatures looked fierce: one had a golden horn on his head, while the other had a silver horn.

These two demon creatures were currently lecturing a group of little demons inside the den.

"Listen carefully, you lads. From today on, I want you to patrol daily and check all humans passing by Pingding Mountain. If so, don’t act rashly; hurry back and report to us, understand!?" the Gold Horn King spoke, assigning tasks to the thirty or so little demons.

"Understood!" As the words of the Gold Horn King dropped, the little demons inside the den nodded and responded.

"Also, hurry and clean up the den. Once you have cleaned it up, I will have your Grandpa come to stay for a few days; you must serve him well!" After nodding, the Silver Horn King continued to speak.

"Grandpa!?" At the lower end, a few little demons looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.

"Your Grandpa, our godfather! Get it now!?"

...

Inside the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, Jiang Liu and the others were waiting, and about half an hour later, Sun Wukong quickly returned to the Immortal Mansion.

"How is it? Wukong? Did you manage to find out everything?" Jiang Liu asked as he saw Sun Wukong return.

"Master, I found out everything. Indeed, there are two new demon creatures on Pingding Mountain, and besides the two of them, there’s also a godfather!" Sun Wukong summarized the situation he had scouted.

"A... godfather!?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu was stunned.

He remembered the original story where the Gold Horn King and the Silver Horn King only had a godmother, who lived in the Dragon Pressing Cave. How had a godfather suddenly appeared!?
