Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

The Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord were hidden in the shadows, while a hundred and eight Heavenly Generals were also secretly prepared.

Although the Jade Emperor typically summoned tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to attack a particular force, this trap was set to deal with the black-clad mysterious figure, rendering ordinary Heavenly Soldiers and Generals ineffective.

The hundred and eight Heavenly Generals prepared were all at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Immortal level or above. Also, a large formation map had been prepared, which was for the Taiji Micro Dust Formation equipped by the Supreme Elder Lord.

Utilizing one hundred and eight immortals to arrange the Taiji Micro Dust Formation to deal with the black-clad mysterious figure could indeed be quite effective.

Throughout history, many formations have been capable of unleashing terrifying power.

For instance, there is the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, renowned as the strongest killing formation, and also, during the prehistoric battles of Witches and Demons, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Fiend Great Formation and the Star Dipper Formation of Complete Cycle used by the two clans respectively...

Of course, formations like Yellow River Town during the Era of Deification and Ten Thousand Immortals Formation were also famous.

"Your Majesty, do you think this True Wind of Nansun can lure in the black-clad mysterious figure?" Hidden in the shadows, the Supreme Elder Lord asked the Jade Emperor beside him.

The Supreme Elder Lord thought there was a possibility, but not a high one. After all, the Taiyin True Flame on the moon could also be suppressed by the Tai Chi Diagram, and if the mysterious figure was willing, he could also use the Tai Chi Diagram to suppress and take away the Taiyin True Flame, right?

But in reality, the black-clad mysterious figure did not appear.

"There's about a fifty percent chance..." After pondering the Supreme Elder Lord's question for a moment, the Jade Emperor spoke.

Indeed, the likelihood wasn't great, but it wasn't insignificant either. It depended on whether the black-clad mysterious figure was willing to take the True Wind of Nansun, which was almost a free gift.

If he truly appeared, that would be ideal.

If he didn't show up, it would merely be a waste of some effort, as not just anyone was qualified to take the True Wind of Nansun.

Even if it were taken, could someone hidden like himself allow the other to succeed?

The wait lasted several days, but the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord patiently held on.

When Jiang Liu appeared, the Jade Emperor frowned deeply.

If Jiang Liu had the ability to seize the True Wind of Nansun, the Jade Emperor thought this possibility wasn't absent. If it were truly taken, what would he do? Take action against him?

After some thought, the Jade Emperor nodded to himself. If it came down to it, the True Wind of Nansun couldn't be allowed to leave. A confrontation it would be.

It was indeed a chance to settle both new and old scores.

Watching Jiang Liu approach the origin of the True Wind of Nansun, relying on the Green Lotus Treasured Flag's defense, the Jade Emperor's tension mounted.

However, seeing him stand in front of the True Wind of Nansun without making a move, the Jade Emperor understood his situation, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed Xuanzang could rely on defense to approach, but he lacked the ability to seize the True Wind of Nansun.

Whoosh!

Just as the Jade Emperor was beginning to feel somewhat relieved, suddenly, a swift shadow appeared in the sky, rushing towards the True Wind of Nansun with lightning speed.

With the Green Lotus Treasured Flag protecting himself, Xuanzang was unexpectedly knocked away.

Then, this figure grabbed the origin of the True Wind of Nansun and dashed into the distance at an incredible speed.

"He has appeared!" Upon seeing this figure appear, the Supreme Elder Lord reacted swiftly, raising his hand and throwing the Vajra Bracelet, transforming into a golden light.

Protected by the Tai Chi Diagram, the Evil Corpse's speed slowed as the Vajra Bracelet struck.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Jade Emperor also wielded the Golden Divine Sword, blocking the Evil Corpse's path.

"Damn it, the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord have joined forces? And did they deliberately set up a trap waiting for my appearance?" Seeing this scene, Jiang Liu's expression changed, his heart sinking.

In the blink of an eye, the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord appeared together, clearly having hidden in the shadows, waiting for his black-clad mysterious identity to surface.

"Could it be? What Zhu Jiuyin said, that the Jade Emperor was going to act against me, was truly targeting the black-clad mysterious identity!?" Witnessing the current scene, Jiang Liu recalled the words that the White Mouse Demon had deliberately conveyed.

"You've finally appeared!" Holding the Golden Divine Sword, the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Elder Lord each blocked the Evil Corpse's retreat, speaking calmly.

At the same time, the hundred and eight Heavenly Generals, already prepared, took their positions, unfolding a large formation map, transforming into a formation, completely enveloping the Evil Corpse within.

"Recall!" Seeing the Supreme Elder Lord and the Jade Emperor join forces, Jiang Liu's heart stirred, opening the Severance of Corpses page to recall the Evil Corpse.

However, almost simultaneously, the system's prompt echoed in Jiang Liu's mind.

Prompt: The Evil Corpse is in a special environment and cannot be recalled!

"Indeed..." Receiving this system prompt, while disappointed, Jiang Liu wasn't surprised.

Previously, against the Jade Emperor, even his Random Teleportation Stone failed to work. The Jade Emperor had already made specific arrangements against space-related escape methods.

Since this time is to deal with the black-clad mystery man, he has used the recall ability to leave several times, so it is reasonable that the Jade Emperor and Supreme Elder Lord would make targeted arrangements.

"It seems that your True Wind of Nansun as bait is to lure me out, right?" Although escape was impossible, the Evil Corpse raised his hand and put the essence of the True Wind of Nansun into the storage space, while speaking to the Jade Emperor and the others.

Seeing the Evil Corpse put away the essence of the True Wind of Nansun, the Jade Emperor's brows furrowed slightly.

However, at this moment, the black-clad mystery man was already caught in the trap, and he couldn't escape himself, so it didn't matter that the essence of the True Wind of Nansun was put away.

"Today, you won't be able to escape!" Staring at the Evil Corpse, the Jade Emperor spoke in a declarative tone.

"Why did the two of you join forces to set a trap?" the Evil Corpse asked the Jade Emperor.

"There's no need to pretend ignorance! First, we want to know the origin of your Tai Chi Diagram, and second, we are after the Hongmeng Purple Qi on you!" the Jade Emperor replied.

"What if I say the Hongmeng Purple Qi is not on me?" hearing this, the Evil Corpse replied.

"Whether it's on you or not, we can't just take your word for it!" Hearing the Evil Corpse's words, the Jade Emperor shook his head.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi, determining the ownership of the final sanctified position, holds immense attraction for all Quasi-Saints.

At this point, the black-clad mystery man was already a turtle in a jar, so how could they believe him just based on his words?

"Things have become complicated!" Jiang Liu thought as he watched the Evil Corpse being besieged, unable to escape or fight back, his heart sinking quietly.

The Jade Emperor and Supreme Elder Lord join forces; their power is terrifying, and there's even a formation set up?

Isn't this fail-safe?

"Is it appropriate for me to act now? Besides, I might not even be able to save him!"

"But, relying solely on the defense of the Tai Chi Diagram, it's hard to even resist the Jade Emperor alone, let alone with the Supreme Elder Lord assisting!"

"Can't fight, can't escape, what to do? Seek help?"

"Fortunately, even though it's impossible to escape using spatial methods, using the storage space is still feasible, is there any treasure that can be useful at this time?"

"Buy a treasure now with premium currency to tackle the current disaster? Or ask someone for help?"

...

In the present situation, the Evil Corpse is practically on the brink of death, and Jiang Liu's mind quickly starts to contemplate how to help the Evil Corpse get through this predicament.

Spend money? Thinking about it, forget it. Not long ago, disguised as the man in silver robes, I bought an Immortal-Slaying Sword with real-world currency, now I don't have much wealth left, so that's not feasible.

Then, I can only ask for help.

But, given such a situation, if help is to be called, it must come from someone with Quasi-Saint level power, right?

Whom to ask for help? Besides Gaoyang, Ancestor Minghe, Demon Master Kunpeng, and even Master Zhenyuan would probably want to kick someone when they're down while vying for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, right?

Deadlock!

For Jiang Liu, the current situation has truly become a deadlock.

The Taiji Micro Dust Formation enveloped the surroundings, making it impossible for the black-clad mystery man to escape, yet the Jade Emperor wasn't in a hurry at the moment.

For the identity of the black-clad mystery man, the Jade Emperor was naturally very curious as well. How would he respond under such circumstances?

Or, who would come to help him?

The Jade Emperor also wanted to see who would assist him, from which he could probably deduce his identity.

"Gaoyang, quickly come to Gale Gorge, the Jade Emperor and Supreme Elder Lord have joined forces to set a trap! Now, I've been trapped as the black-clad mystery man's identity!" Jiang Liu directly sent a message to Gaoyang, asking her to come and help.

The relationship between the black-clad mystery man and Gaoyang is quite good, which is no secret. In fact, he even staged a scenario to have Gaoyang and the black-clad mystery man fight once.

So, Gaoyang coming to help is entirely reasonable and justified.

Thinking it over, Jiang Liu opened his friends list again, found Zhao Gongming, and sent a message: "Senior Zhao Gongming, the black-clad mystery man is surrounded by the Jade Emperor and Supreme Elder Lord, and now it's very dangerous..."

Jiang Liu wasn't absolutely sure if Zhao Gongming would come, but in Jiang Liu's view, there's more than an eighty percent chance that he would!

Firstly, the reason Zhao Gongming could break free from the Investiture of the Gods was because of the black-clad mystery man, which incurred a debt of causality.

Secondly, aren't the people from the Sect of Intercepting known for being emotional and righteous?

Knowing there's an opportunity to repay this causality, how could he not come to help?

With Gaoyang and Zhao Gongming both coming to assist, Jiang Liu felt somewhat confident in dealing with the situation...
