NOVPUB787: Chapter 787: Lure
787 -787: Lure
Jiang Liu’s so-called ordering takeout was naturally not the same as ordering takeout in his previous life.
He simply sent a message to Red Boy, informing him of the meal choices that Sun Wukong and his companions wanted to eat.
Then, after Red Boy prepared the meals, they would be promptly placed inside the Gang’s Treasury.
The Gang’s Treasury was a very magical artifact.
Though located within Flame Cloud Entertainment City, as the Sect Master of the Ming Sect, Jiang Liu could remotely control it, depositing and retrieving items from it.
Therefore, exchanging items over long distances was extremely effortless.
Once Red Boy had placed the meals inside the Gang’s Treasury, Jiang Liu could simply open it and take them out directly.
A dinner like this left Sun Wukong and the others very satisfied, as the flavor was indeed quite good.
Of course, this so-called way of ordering takeout, made them feel it was even more novel.
After devouring the delicious meal and leaving no leftovers, Jiang Liu and the others had no intention of continuing conversation, briefly chatting for a while before each went to their own room to rest.
Alone, Jiang Liu silently sat on his bed, sitting cross-legged.
He was not in a hurry to cultivate the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture but was instead quietly contemplating the situation in Lion Camel Kingdom.
Now that he had officially infiltrated Lion Camel Kingdom, his task in the coming days was simply to collect enough evidence.
Under the guise of righteousness, he would directly slay the three Demons of Lion Camel Kingdom.
If figures such as Manjushri or Samantabhadra intervened to hinder him, it would be perfect, as he would confront them with their crimes as well.
How could Manjushri possibly shield his mount after it had almost devoured all the citizens of Lion Camel Kingdom, such a heinous crime?
Of course, if neither Manjushri nor Samantabhadra appeared, Jiang Liu had no intention of letting them off.
After exterminating the three Demons, he would take the initiative to seek them out and accuse them!
However, this matter needed to be escalated significantly.
The bigger the uproar, the better.
Only if the matter blew up big enough would Manjushri and Samantabhadra not be able to act on their own accord.
“Hmm, so now I have two goals, one is to collect enough evidence to confront Manjushri and Samantabhadra, and the second?
That’s to find a way to make as big a deal of this as possible, ideally, if the entire Three Realms knew about it, that would be best!”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu silently nodded to himself, summarizing and organizing what he had to do next.
The current situation reminded Jiang Liu of his previous life.
In his previous life, many people must have done the same, right?
If ordinary citizens wanted to confront the powerful and influential, what should they do?
The logic was the same, firstly to collect enough evidence and secondly to make as big a fuss about the matter as possible.
That’s why, in his previous life, so many people wanted to tell their stories to media reporters, to expose the whole matter under the public’s scrutiny, making it impossible for anyone to bend the law for personal gain.
Knock knock knock!
Just as Jiang Liu was internally deliberating on what he needed to do in Lion Camel City, suddenly, he felt a gentle knock on his window.
“Who is it!?” Hearing the knocking from outside, Jiang Liu collected his thoughts and asked in a stern voice.
“Excuse me, are you the Scripture Seekers from the Great Tang in the Eastern Land?” Following Jiang Liu’s words, a woman’s voice sounded from outside the window.
“A woman!?
And she can reveal my identity with a single sentence!?
Who is she?” Hearing the woman’s voice from outside, Jiang Liu’s heart stirred slightly.
“Holy Monk, would you like to know the whereabouts of Princess Gaoyang?” Although Jiang Liu did not answer, the woman outside seemed certain of Jiang Liu’s identity and continued to ask.
As her words fell, not waiting for Jiang Liu’s response, the woman’s voice added, “If you want to know the whereabouts of Princess Gaoyang, please follow me!”
Lastly, Jiang Liu could distinctly hear the sound of rustling clothes fading into the distance.
“This is someone making up an excuse, deliberately trying to lure me out, isn’t it?” Jiang Liu’s brows furrowed slightly, murmuring to himself inwardly.
Knocking on his window in the dead of night, telling him news about Gaoyang, and then leaving without meeting him—wasn’t this a ploy to lure him out?
However, although Jiang Liu felt the other party was deliberately using an excuse to lure him, the matter concerned Gaoyang, and he did not wish to miss this opportunity, even if there was only a one in a million chance.
Thus, after a brief hesitation, despite understanding that he was being lured, his body seemingly moved on its own accord as he pushed open the window and chased after the figure outside.
Rustle!
Following the woman, Jiang Liu could see that the woman running ahead had transformed into the shape of a Hundred Spirits Bird in mid-air, her speed suddenly increased significantly.
“A Demon!?” Watching the woman transform into the shape of a Hundred Spirits Bird, Jiang Liu’s brow rose slightly, whispering to himself inwardly.
But Jiang Liu’s movements were not slow; stepping onto a white auspicious cloud, he chased after her.
“He’s actually following?”
The Hundred Spirits Bird flying in front turned its head to glance at Jiang Liu, feeling somewhat astonished.
Using the Art of Cloud Soaring in Lion Camel City?
Isn’t this just like using sorcery in the Immortal Realm?
Indeed, as if confirming the thoughts of the Hundred Spirits Bird, the moment Jiang Liu performed the Art of Cloud Soaring, within moments, a burly man appeared, stepping on black clouds, and flew up dust and sand as he blocked Jiang Liu’s path.
Looking at the man’s extremely robust physique, holding a trident in his hand, he glared viciously at Jiang Liu, “A Monk from the Buddhist Sect?
Daring to fly so brazenly in our Lion Camel City?
Seeking death!”
As the words fell, the man thrust the trident in his hands straight towards Jiang Liu.
“Indeed, seeking death!”
Watching the burly man who initiated the attack, Jiang Liu muttered to himself.
The Fire Tip Spear appeared in his hand, and Jiang Liu pointed at the burly man.
Immediately, a brilliant stream shot out from the Fire Tip Spear, piercing directly through the man’s chest.
“A mere Demon King Realm fellow, daring to yell in front of me?
Truly seeking death!” After easily dealing with the sturdy man with one move, Jiang Liu shook his head, his form unchanged, and continued to charge towards the Hundred Spirits Bird ahead.
Whiz, whiz, whiz!
However, Jiang Liu’s actions were like poking a hornet’s nest.
Following the killing of the Demon King who wielded the trident, several beams of light flashed, and several more demon creatures flew up and then densely blocked Jiang Liu’s path.
“As expected…”
Seeing so many Demon Kings, and even a few at the Demon Immortal level, Jiang Liu sighed quietly to himself.
Indeed, it was troublesome to employ the Art of Cloud Soaring of the Immortal Clan in Lion Camel Kingdom.
However, for Jiang Liu, who had reached the level of Taiyi True Immortal, what did it matter how many enemies there were?
They were but a mob.
After applying a Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra to himself to boost his attack power, Jiang Liu’s gaze fixed on the demons blocking his way, and he pointed with the Fire Tip Spear in his hand.
A strange glow appeared in mid-air and fell, exploding among the crowd of demons, turning into a gigantic lotus shape, which was Jiang Liu’s Lotus Spell skill.
Boom, boom, boom!
Under the attack of the Lotus Spell, countless demon creatures were directly blown to pieces by the skill’s assault.
Naturally, a series of system prompt sounds continually arose.
Of course, although Jiang Liu’s group attack skill was formidable, the remaining demon creatures also displayed their divine skills.
Some used spells, some used Dharma Treasures, and more concentrated attacks poured down like a torrential rain, aiming at Jiang Liu.
But against these attacks, Jiang Liu didn’t dodge or avoid at all, seeming as though he didn’t see them.
Then, these attacks fell on Jiang Liu like a dense downpour.
However, clad in the Green Lotus Buddha Robe, Jiang Liu’s defense had already broken through the 1 billion mark.
How could the Little Demons of Lion Camel Kingdom possibly shatter such a terrifying defense?
The attacks had no effect whatsoever on Jiang Liu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The Fire Tip Spear swept across, relying on the terrifying defense ability of the Green Lotus Buddha Robe, Jiang Liu moved in and out with ease.
In just a moment, those Little Demons who had flown up to block his path fell from mid-air one after another, like dumplings being dropped.
Having disposed of these demon creatures, Jiang Liu’s immense strength evidently had a deterrent effect.
For a while, no more demons dared to fly up to block Jiang Liu’s path.
Jiang Liu glanced over the Little Demons, then immediately locked his gaze onto the Hundred Spirits Bird in the distance.
Feeling Jiang Liu’s gaze upon it, the Hundred Spirits Bird tensed up and immediately turned around, flying away at full speed.
“Don’t go!” Jiang Liu shouted as he saw the Hundred Spirits Bird turn to flee.
Using the Art of Cloud Ascending Leaps in his spells, he pursued relentlessly from behind.
The speed of the Hundred Spirits Bird was very fast, and for a while, it wasn’t easy for Jiang Liu to catch up.
In the blink of an eye, they covered a thousand miles in a flash.
As they flew over a picturesque valley, the Hundred Spirits Bird folded its wings and rapidly descended.
“Have we reached the destination?” Watching the Hundred Spirits Bird descend, Jiang Liu’s brow furrowed slightly.
Clearly, the Hundred Spirits Bird deliberately lured him here, right?
“Friend, since you’ve come, why not come down for a chat?”
Just as Jiang Liu hovered in mid-air, hesitating not to descend, suddenly, a dignified and elegant female voice sounded from below.
(PS: Today I climbed a mountain all day, exhausted, my eyelids are fighting, and there’s one last chapter to write, should I write it?
I’ll consider it…)
