Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 157 - 156: Huo Qubing Steals a Horse

Known for his keyboard warrior tendencies, Jiang Chen’s words hit deep, rendering his opponents speechless. Driven by frustration, they decided to attack him directly.

Jiang Chen, a mere mortal in the face of these cultivators, posed no match despite their tender age. They were already endowed with magical powers, making him an easy target.

If not for the Magic Treasures bestowed by the Jiang family to protect him, Jiang Chen would have almost been beaten to death.

The incident created such a stir that even the patriarch of the Jiang family was alerted.

He arrived personally at the Ancestral Land, where he first reprimanded everyone at the Ancestral Hall from top to bottom. Then, he sought out the patriarch of the Yun Clan and beat him severely.

Only finally did he take Jiang Chen with him and depart.

...

...

At the end of this reminiscing, Jiang Chen stared at Yun Luo with a faint smile on his face, awaiting another person’s response.

His greatest joy was to bear witness to the displeasure etched on the faces of the Human Race of the Ancestral Land. Unable to retaliate against him, they were forced to swallow their resentment.

This fueled his satisfying sense of revenge.

Killing people was refreshing enough, but it wasn’t quite satisfying!

Hiss...

It does sound a bit sadistic to say out loud.

However, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that he was pleased, regardless of whether it was deemed sadistic or not.

Also,

What’s wrong with a man being even a bit sadistic?

"I am Dongzhuang, greetings fellow cultivator." Despite Jiang Chen’s disregard, that man did not react angrily but instead, introduced himself.

He had no reason to be angry, as he had not intervened during Yun Luo’s arrogant display earlier but had tacitly approved of it. Now that Yun Luo was humiliated, it was only fitting for him to be implicated as well.

"Dongzhuang!" Only the name was announced, not his background. This implies that he didn’t come from a prominent family.

That made sense. The Ancestral Land was a convergence of many prodigies from the Human Race. It was impossible for all of them to be from eminent families. Many of them hailed from the mortal world.

Presumably, this Dongzhuang was one of them.

The heroes from the mundane world, this was the third influential group in the Ancestral Hall. While the Buddhist Door was known for its numerous contests for power and benefits, the Human Race was no different.

Wherever humans gathered, conflicts breed. This saying was always correct.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Chen strike a pose and commanded the answer from the two men.

It needs to be mentioned that Yun Luo and the other man were Golden Immortals, while Jiang Chen was only a Mysterious Immortal.

However, Jiang Chen concealed his abilities well. Outsiders couldn’t see through his cultivation level. Adding to this, he was good at creating an air of mystery, appearing as an important person.

This had the two men seeing him as though through a fog, with uncertainty, thinking they had encountered a big shot from the Jiang Family.

Immediately, their attitudes became a bit more respectful, and they replied carefully, "Elder, we are the guardians and guides of the young soldier below. We are waiting for him to sever worldly ties so that we may bring him to the Human Race Ancestral Land for secluded cultivation."

Elder...

Jiang Chen was inwardly chuckling, yet didn’t show any expression on his face. He continued to inquire, "What’s the name of the young man?"

Yun Luo replied, "Huo Qubing!"

"Of course, it’s him!" Hearing this, Jiang Chen muttered to himself affirmatively. He had guessed it would be him. In the entire Great Han, there was only one Huo Qubing.

He had managed to accomplish the ultimate aspirations of generations of Huaxia military generals at a young age, one after another.

Through the ages, none compares to him!

It’s not surprising for such a figure to be favoured by the Ancestral Hall of the Human Race, who would even send Bodyguard Cultivators to protect him. Regarding his unresolved worldly ties, it was probably referring to the uncaptured Xiongnu.

Huo Qubing’s assertion in the past, "How can I settle home peacefully while the Xiongnu still exist?" had shocked countless people. Currently, he had not made his way to the Ancestral Land of the Human Race, most likely due to his oath.

Affter subduing the Xiongnu, will probably be the time for him to head to the Ancestral Land of the Human Race to focus on cultivation. No wonder Huo Qubing would have died young - it was probably a fake death to escape attention.

Meanwhile, as the trio was deep in conversation, a new situation sprouted where Huo Qubing was.

Sun Wukong returned.

Chasing halfway, the monkey started to cool down.

He recalled leaving his celestial steeds behind. Worried for their safety, he swung his staff once reluctantly at the Xiongnu army before returning to the original spot.

He planned to secure the steeds first before taking revenge.

However, upon his return, what Sun Wukong witnessed caused his eyes to bulge with fury. He saw Huo Qubing and his soldiers casting a large net, trying to catch all the celestial steeds.

During the short period when Sun Wukong was gone, nearly two thousand celestial steeds had been captured by Huo Qubing and his men and were now in their possession.

Keep in mind, compared to the Xiongnu, Great Han was in more dire need of horses.

Now, ten thousand celestial horses had suddenly appeared before Huo Qubing. They seemed unowned and Huo Qubing naturally did his utmost to capture as many as he could.

It was a win-win situation!

"Ah!"

Upon seeing this scene, Sun Wukong felt intense anger, promptly let out a howl, and once again transformed into the gigantic Zhu Yan, wielding the golden hoop to strike at Huo Qubing and his men.

"Brothers, retreat!"

Seeing Sun Wukong return, Huo Qubing didn’t engage him any longer. He put away his tools, took the spoils of war, and promptly escaped towards the Great Han army encampment on horseback. freewebnoveℓ.com

Even the Chanyu of the Xiongnu who led the royal elites were no match for Sun Wukong, Huo Qubing certainly didn’t believe that he or his soldiers could oppose Sun Wukong, who had defeated the Xiongnu’s elites.

This was unrealistic.

If he had the abilities, he would have annihilated the Xiongnu long time ago, instead of waiting till now.

Seeing Huo Qubing fleeing, Sun Wukong, for once, acted intelligently that was absurd. He put away the golden hoop, and sharply whistled.

"Whistle..."

The whistle was loud and resonated over the vast prairie, causing the Group of celestial steeds to grow excited.

They were seen stomping their hooves, panting heavily, and galloping towards the direction Huo Qubing and his men were escaping towards.

Rumble...

Ten thousand horses galloping, creating a scene that was incredibly spectacular.

With the horses’ hooves touching the ground, endless dust was kicked up, and the ground trembled. It was a formidable sight.

If Sun Wukong had used this move earlier, he wouldn’t have had to engage with the elite Xiongnu soldiers. The charge of the ten thousand celestial steeds alone could have crushed the Xiongnu elites into pulp.

You have to understand that these are celestial horses, not the ordinary good horses of the mortal world. The weakest among them possess strength equivalent to Earth Immortals, and the strongest are even no less than Heavenly Immortals or Mysterious Immortals.

This was indeed the most powerful weapon. No matter how vigorous his blood was, in the face of the mighty force formed by ten thousand celestial horses, it would disintegrate as if it was made of paper.

What a fool!

Sun Wukong was a fool once more!

Such a powerful method, and it seemed that he had not thought of using it earlier. This was...

Regardless, thankfully, the monkey has finally thought of this method now. At least he has shown a moment of intelligence.

Rumble...

The celestial steeds, being celestial in nature, were unique. Their bodies were as clean as jade, not to mention they had wings.
