Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

Just thinking about the title "Princess Iron Fan," the maid was filled with resistance. This was no simple character. Both she and the princess were not adept at magical combat, and going into someone else's cave dwelling would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

However, Princess Jade-Faced showed a bitter smile on her face and said, "How could I not know about her character? But the situation is so pressing now, that we can only shamelessly seek her out; otherwise, we will have nowhere to be buried after death."

Hearing this, the maid was confused, but she saw that Princess Jade-Faced's expression did not seem feigned. She instantly understood the gravity of the situation and hurriedly commanded her people to prepare the carriage, while she carefully helped Princess Jade-Faced with her makeup and attire.

Ever since her child had been converted by Guanyin, Princess Iron Fan had been washing her face with tears every day, despondent and without joy, unwilling to take a single step out of the cave dwelling. Red Child was the apple of her eye and her pride, but now that he had been taken into Buddhism without freedom, he had not come to see her even once.

She had also fallen out with Bull Demon King over this. After all, there was a sworn brotherhood between the Monkey and the Bull Demon King. Now that the Bull Demon King had stopped visiting, Princess Iron Fan was left alone to guard the cave dwelling.

Suddenly, she heard a maid report that Princess Jade-Faced had come to visit. Princess Iron Fan immediately became angry and said, "What a shameless and vulgar thing, seducing someone else's husband and daring to show up and be arrogant. I want to see what kind of fox spirit is so bold as to have hooked away that foolish bull's soul."

Having said this, she took a treasured sword from her boudoir and stormed towards the outside of the cave.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw a snow-white carriage drawn by a snow-white fox. A beautiful woman lay reclined in the carriage, stunningly gorgeous, particularly her eyes, which carried astonishing allure with their every shift, making even Princess Iron Fan acknowledge, "Such a beautiful fox spirit."

"So you are the concubine my husband has kept?" Princess Iron Fan asked aggressively.

The maid by her side said angrily, "How dare you be so impolite."

Princess Iron Fan just sneered, "What? Did I say something wrong? Isn't she my husband's concubine?"

In that moment, Princess Iron Fan's presence erupted, and the maid, who had never seen such a demeanor, instantly went weak at the knees and involuntarily collapsed onto the ground.

Princess Jade-Faced gently helped her maid up, her face wearing a smile that could charm all living beings as she said, "Sister, why bother with a servant, it is beneath you. No wonder the Great King is not fond of you."

"Hmph! Did you come here just to have the upper hand in dialogue? Where is Bull Demon King? Let him come out and see me!" Princess Iron Fan's brow furrowed slightly, and her hand on the treasured sword was ready to unsheathe it.

"Sister might be wronging me. The Great King hasn't come over today; it's I who has business to discuss with my sister," said Princess Jade-Faced, seriousness replacing the charming smile on her face.

Princess Iron Fan also noticed the change in Princess Jade-Faced and felt puzzled, yet she still spoke relentlessly, "What? Has the old bull found a new love and abandoned you?"

"Sister must be joking. The Great King is so fond of me he can hardly bear it, how could he seek out another woman?"

Princess Iron Fan frowned and said, "Hmph! It's hard to say for sure, spit it out, what's the matter?"

Princess Jade-Faced looked around and then said, "Sister, can you invite me in? This is not a place to talk."

"What a pampered character!" Although Princess Iron Fan said this, she still let people welcome Princess Jade-Faced into the dwelling.

Deep within the cave dwelling, Princess Iron Fan asked with visible impatience, "What is it, speak!"

Princess Jade-Faced dismissed the attendants and said to Princess Iron Fan, "Sister, are you aware that a great disaster is upon us?"

At these words, Iron Fan stood up abruptly and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? The world is at peace, what great disaster could there be? Stop spouting nonsense."

Princess Jade-Faced quickly pulled her back to sit down, and then described the unusual behavior of the Bull Demon King in detail.

As she spoke, Princess Iron Fan's frown grew tighter. If Princess Jade-Faced could see the extraordinary implications, was she not able to see them as well?

"I don't know what the person behind the scenes is plotting, but whoever can pull off such a thing must not be someone with good intentions. We have become involuntary pawns; one false move could lead to our death and obliteration," Princess Jade-Faced said with a heavy heart.

What flashed through Princess Iron Fan's mind, however, was the image of the ancestral figure. With the realm and cultivation of the Bull Demon King, only this mentor of their past could possibly manipulate him without a trace.

Yet, no matter how much she pondered, she couldn't fathom the motive. What was it about them that the ancestral figure would bother to scheme against?

Princess Jade-Faced, with her keen observation, noticed the changing expressions on Princess Iron Fan's face and hurriedly asked, "Have you thought of something?"

"Nothing," Princess Iron Fan said softly, but her expression clearly told Princess Jade-Faced that she had guessed the truth yet dared not speak it.

Consequently, she dared not ask further. Judging by Princess Iron Fan's reaction, whoever was orchestrating this had vast Divine Skills. If they spoke too freely, they might draw attention to themselves, and a single mishap could cost her life.

Meanwhile, deep within the Underworld atop the Sea of Blood, the Patriarch of the Nether River opened his tightly shut eyes and thought to himself, "It seems I need to hasten the plan; Iron Fan is already suspicious."

He dared not speak, for he knew that Di Ting was closely monitoring him. If he left even the slightest clue, Ksitigarbha could ruin his grand scheme.

Just then, two beams of golden light shot towards the Underworld. Within the golden lights were the figures of two monkeys. They were fighting their way toward the Underworld, the wind from their blows ravaging the land that had decayed for many years.

"My god! Isn't that the monkey who was driven out of the Underworld years ago? Why has it returned?" Some Ghost Cultivators recognized the monkey and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Good heavens, one monkey was troublesome enough, and now there are two of them," another exclaimed.

The Ten Yama Lords were also quite troubled as they watched the two monkeys approach. King Qinguang was the first to speak up, "What should we do about this? If we let the monkeys continue causing chaos, the Underworld will be in utter disarray."

The other Yama Lords shook their heads one after another. This was a delicate situation; it concerned the transcendence of All Saints, and no one dared to make a decision lightly. Didn't the Heavenly Court kick the problem down to them?

"Isn't Ksitigarbha here? Doesn't he have Di Ting, who is said to be capable of hearing everything? Just push these two monkeys over to him. After all, they are from Buddhism; let them deal with it," King Chujiang proposed.

The eyes of the other Yama Lords lit up at once. That was indeed a good idea. When the two monkeys arrived, that's exactly what they would do.
