After coming out of the Water Curtain Cave, Mu Qingxiao didn't hurry to leave. Instead, she sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist. She closed her eyes and released the power of her Celestial Soul to cover the whole mountain.
As time went by, a dark cloud flashed across the sky.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Mu Qingxiao opened her eyes and looked to the west.
She stood up and the space was distorted. She passed through the void and appeared in the sky above a small town.
The small town was located on the edge of a desert a few miles away from the mountain range. There were mud houses built with yellow soil, which could barely shelter the sand and dust in the desert. It looked quite miserable.
Because the small town was on the edge of the mountain range and was dozens of miles away from the Water Curtain Cave of the Mountain of Huaguo, Mu Qingxiao didn't notice it.
At this moment, it was late at night.
Standing in the void, Mu Qingxiao stared at several figures in the small town.
One of them had a long mouth, big ears, a mane behind his head, a rough body, and a face like a pig.
The other one had fluffy hair, bright eyes, and a face that was neither dark nor green. He was wearing a yellow cloak and had white vines tied around his waist. There were nine skulls under his neck and he was holding a Demon-subduing Staff.
Looking at the two figures with obvious characteristics in the small town, Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. How could she not guess their identities?
Both of them were in the Earth Celestial Stage. They must be Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha. Since Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha were here, the Supreme Treasure was most likely in the small town.
However, Mu Qingxiao didn't act immediately. Instead, she looked at the figures in the small town with great interest.
The black figures who had just passed through the mountain range and arrived at the small town were obviously not two people. Their auras were as strong as Yang Jian's. Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha couldn't compare with them.
Mu Qingxiao hid herself in the small town and jumped over the sneaky Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha without anyone noticing. Then, she rushed toward the east side of the town.
"Ha, ha, ha … Brother, you really caught Monk Tang and brought him to me!"
Suddenly, a burst of deafening laughter rang out in the quiet town. Mu Qingxiao's figure swept over and three figures came into view.
One of them was an ordinary-looking young man, while the other was a Jun Yi -faced monk with rosy lips and white teeth.
Standing opposite the two of them was a tall and sturdy figure who was laughing madly. On his head was a polished silver iron helmet, on his body was a set of embroidered golden armor, on his feet was a pair of pink suede boots, and on his waist was a three-strand lion belt.
His eyes were as clear as a mirror, his eyebrows were as red as a rainbow, his mouth was like a blood basin, his teeth were like copper coins, his laughter was so loud that it shook the mountains, and his actions were so awe-inspiring that evil spirits panicked.
"Bull Demon King!"
The young man cried out in surprise when he saw the figure of the man. He looked at the middle-aged man with red lips and white teeth and begged, "Quickly return the treasure box to me. I still have to save my wife!"
"Amitabha! Wukong, we still have to complete the great task of collecting scriptures. How can we start a family?!"
"Seeking scriptures?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the Bull Demon King laughed wildly. He stared at him with shining eyes, and saliva was about to overflow from his bloody mouth.
"Brother, since you really caught Tang Sanzang for me, I won't treat you unfairly. After I cook Tang Sanzang's meat, you can eat it too. When the time comes, you will be immortal and live as long as heaven and earth. Isn't that much better than collecting scriptures?"
As he spoke, the Bull Demon King waved his hand, and a terrifying gust of wind blew past. Tang Sanzang and the young man were lifted off the ground and flew into the air uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Mu Qingxiao quickly formed a series of seals with his hands. If the middle-aged man with red lips and white teeth was Tang Sanzang, then the young man was Zhi Zun Bao.
Since that was the case, the Moonlight Treasure Box was with them. How could he let the Bull Demon King take away what he needed?
In an instant, an invisible barrier gathered from all directions.
"Who is it!"
The Bull Demon King held the iron rod in his hand and found that the surrounding space had become incomparably heavy. Moreover, the entire town was enveloped by the barrier. How could he not know that someone was secretly tampering with it?
Tap, tap …
The young man stepped through the void. His eyebrows were sharp like swords and his face was like jade. His aura was indescribably holy and otherworldly.
Seeing this, the Bull Demon King roared, "Sir, what is the meaning of this? Do you want to have a share of Tang Sanzang's meat?"
"Tang Sanzang's meat?"
Mu Qingxiao glanced at the red-lipped, white-toothed monk who was imprisoned in the void. His eyes flashed with disdain. He had long been immortal and lived as long as heaven and earth. Why would he need to eat Tang Sanzang's meat?
With a wave of his sleeve, a black box flew out from Tang Sanzang's arms.
Mu Qingxiao held the black box in his hand. Immediately, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding! The host has obtained the Moonlight Treasure Box. Mission completed. Cultivation level increased by one."
Just as the system notification sounded, Mu Qingxiao felt a vast amount of energy from an unknown space entering his body. He kept the Moonlight Treasure Box and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!"
However, seeing Mu Qingxiao turn and leave, the Bull Demon King was furious. The black box must be a treasure. Or else such a powerhouse wouldn't have come here to steal it.
"Sir, you may leave now. Leave the treasure behind!"
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao squinted his eyes. Now that the energy from heaven and earth was entering his body, he had no time to waste with the Bull Demon King.
At once, a terrifying sword energy descended. An extremely sharp aura enveloped the Bull Demon King.
"Go!"
Screech!
The clear sound of the word was uttered. A blinding ray of sword energy sliced through the void.
Suddenly, before the Bull Demon King could come to his senses, a bloody wound appeared on his neck. Hot scarlet blood spurted out, and a huge bull head fell to the ground.
"Hmmph!"
Hissing, Mu Qingxiao's silhouette turned into a ray of sword energy and headed towards Chang An.
After his silhouette disappeared, Tang Sanzang and Zhi Zunbao fell from the sky. Looking at the lifeless body of the Bull Demon King lying in a pool of blood, Tang Sanzang swallowed his saliva.
If he remembered correctly, the Bull Demon King was known as the Great Sage who Pacifies Heaven. He seemed to be the elder brother of his disciple, Sun Wukong. Their strengths were on par. Yet, the Bull Demon King had fallen so easily.
"Amitabha …"
Tang Sanzang put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha to calm himself down. Zhi Zunbao stared at the direction Mu Qingxiao left in a daze.
…
…
After leaving the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, Mu Qingxiao appeared in an unknown mountain range a hundred miles away from here in just a few breaths.
Forming a seal with both hands, she set up a seal. The Black Lotus of Apocalypse flew out and she sat cross-legged on it. Her eyes were closed and her palms were facing the sky. She allowed the rich energy of heaven and earth to enter her body.
The vast energy flowed through her limbs and bones, crazily washing Mu Qingxiao's flesh, blood, and bones. Finally, it flowed into the black energy center in her abdomen, like a swallow returning to its nest.
On the black energy center, a black light flickered. After breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, the color seemed to have deepened.
