Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

After finalizing the candidates to go to Muya Kingdom to obtain the artifact, Gesar remembered something else and knocked on the golden throne with his fingers. "The Jiadi army is not easy to deal with, especially the elephant soldiers. Among the tribes in Lingguo, the warriors trained by Jiacha brother during his lifetime were the most proficient in military tactics and battle formations. After the brother's death, this tribe was inherited by my nephew Zara. This time, I need to recall Zara to go to Jiadi together." He laughed and said cheerfully, "Since he married the princess of the Tang Dynasty, he returned to his own Lingdi. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss him a little."

The old chief steward Rongcha was about to object subconsciously. He had always been wary of Jiacha, a general and prince with Han blood. The more Jiacha used the military tactics from the Han people and the stronger he trained his troops, the more vigilant he became. During the years that Gesar stayed in the Demon Kingdom, Rongcha almost dreamed of keeping one eye open to see if Jiacha rebelled. In the end, he found an excuse to ask for Gesar's marriage and squeezed Jiacha out. For the same reason, when Zhumu was kidnapped, he repeatedly stopped Jiacha from sending troops to rescue people, fearing that he would take the throne while rescuing people.

The loss of a concubine was nothing, but if the golden throne of Ling Kingdom was sat by a half-blood, Rongcha would never be willing to close his eyes even if he died.

But who would have thought that although Gyacha was dead, the Tang princess he married on behalf of Gesar would marry his son Zara? This princess brought a powerful army as a dowry, and would give birth to more mixed-race royals with Han blood in the future. Zara is now even more threatening than when Gyacha was alive!

We must not give Zara the chance to go any further!

Rongcha was about to speak when he saw Gesar looking at him. There was unquestionable majesty on his handsome face, and his eyes contained scrutiny and warning.

Rongcha's beard trembled and he could not utter another word.

Outside the palace, the first rays of sunlight from the early morning had already pierced through the clouds and shone onto the earth. A man rode hurriedly out of the city. It was the messenger sent by Gesar to the Zara territory to summon him.

Jiadi country.

People huddled in their houses for a long time before they confirmed that the sky outside was indeed gradually getting brighter. Someone took the lead, but men, women, and children all rushed out of the house and onto the street, cheering for the red sun rising from the horizon: "The sun is back!"

The gentle morning light fell on their faces, filling their eyes that were used to the darkness with tears. But they still looked at it reluctantly, as if they were afraid that the sun would slip away again in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, a sharp gong sound drowned out the cheers. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a gorgeous lady in colorful clothes standing on a high platform, shouting, "Blindfold your eyes! Don't look directly at the sun! Otherwise, your eye demon will scare the sun away!"

When everyone heard this, they frantically looked for blindfolds. Soon, no one was looking directly at the sun anymore.

Ji Zun put down the hammer and smiled. She knew that if she told the people that they had been in the dark for a long time and that they would be blinded if they looked at the sun for too long, it would go against the public's jubilation and no one would believe her. But if she threatened them that the sun would go away, they would not dare to gamble.

This should have been something that the local officials should have reminded people of, but Ji Zun had noticed from sunrise until now that he had not seen a single official-looking person come out to organize the people. It seemed that during these nine years of darkness, everything had withered, and the officials of Jiadi Kingdom had lost their energy and spirit. Apart from distributing food, they had no intention of managing anything, so he had to do it himself.

She threw out a paper donkey and rode on it. When the master broke the magic weapon that blocked the sun and the sky last night, he sensed the location of the caster. Fearing that he would escape, he immediately chased after him. Since Jizun could not fly, he left her behind to walk slowly. Jizun thought that he could meet his master in three days at most, but seeing the loose posture of Jiadi Kingdom after the sun came back, he would inevitably be delayed along the way.

The warmth of the sun illuminated the entire Jiadi Kingdom, but only the corner of the palace was not as lively and lively as it had been for a long time. Instead, it was in a tense and busy state. In just half a night, the palace servants hurriedly made a huge tent frame covered with thick black cloth, which tightly covered each palace, like a black pottery bowl, covering the food inside.

When Wen Jiao followed the magic weapon's induction and rushed to the sky above the capital of the Jiadi Kingdom, she saw exactly this scene. She raised her eyebrows and immediately noticed a place in the center of the palace. Covered with thick cloth, that palace looked particularly dark and heavy. It was unknown whether the area of ​​the palace itself was more magnificent than other places, or the number of defense layers covered was particularly large, or both.

She sank down, about to fall towards the palace. When she was a hundred feet above the palace, her heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she subconsciously rose to the sky again. She saw a golden light burst out from the place where she had just flown, turning into a faint light shield, tightly protecting the entire palace. Above the light shield, a strong man in golden armor stood majestically, holding a long pestle, with a golden ring on his earlobe shining brightly, and his leopard eyes wide open, staring in the direction of Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao smiled at him warmly: "Just passing by." Then she rode away on a cloud.

The warrior in golden armor watched her go away in a long cloud trail, and only when he was sure that she had no intention of coming back did he slowly disappear, and the light shield also disappeared quietly.

A hundred miles away, Wen Jiao landed beside a watery lake. When she met the golden-armored warrior just now, she had an idea of ​​the strength of both sides. The warrior seemed to be very powerful, but in fact, his cultivation was similar to that of the spiritual officer under the command of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable, and he was much weaker than the two generals, the turtle and the snake. If they really fought with real swords and guns, she had no doubt that she would be the winner in the end, but it was inevitable that there would be noise during the fight. At that time, unless the people below were blind and deaf, it would be difficult not to notice that there were people fighting in the air. If the person who cast the Heavenly Clothes Sari to block the three lights was scared away, wouldn't that be alerting the enemy?

But with the golden-armored warriors standing guard there, it would be extremely difficult for her to sneak into the palace. Then... or, could she think of a way to get the people inside to invite her in?

Thinking of this, she flicked her green sleeves, and two streams of light fell to the ground, revealing two sleeping children. They were born with chubby heads, fair round faces, and red moles between their eyebrows. They were as cute as jade dolls. But their hair was very rough. Even if they were combed into the simplest high braid hairstyle, you could see that their hair was straight and stiff, just like the hair of a wild animal. What was even more strange was their limbs. Where the hands and feet should be, there were four green claws with sharp nails like knives.

"Exorcise evil spirits and suppress evil. If you don't get up, the sun will burn your butt!" Wen Jiao said.
