Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 604: Level 90 Golden Edition

"All right, Master, watch Old Sun's performance!"

Although he didn't know the distance, as long as he knew the direction, that was enough. Sun Wukong nodded, leaped into the air, and flew towards the direction the Immortal had pointed out, with his eyes emitting golden light, sweeping along the way.

Jiang Liu sat on the White Dragon Horse's back, flying behind Sun Wukong.

At the same time, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also followed on either side.

Despite the speed of Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud, they were merely searching for someone, so naturally, his flying speed wasn't fast.

Jiang Liu and the others kept up below and could even chat with each other.

"Master, what should we do if we find the Drought Demon? It won't be easy to deal with, will it?" Zhu Bajie, flying beside the White Dragon Horse, suddenly spoke up.

"Hard to deal with?" Jiang Liu looked at Zhu Bajie with some surprise, not understanding what Zhu Bajie meant.

"Legend has it that during the ancient battle between Chi You and the Yellow Emperor, Chi You, defeated by the Yellow Emperor, used the body of the Ancient Witch Clan and the Demon Refining Technique to create this legendary Drought Demon. It's extremely powerful and caused huge damage to the Yellow Emperor's forces! So, Master, it won't be easy for the few of us to subdue it," said Zhu Bajie with a serious expression to Jiang Liu.

"I have heard a bit about this legend!" Jiang Liu nodded upon hearing Zhu Bajie's words.

Yet, he had his own reservations in his heart, feeling that Zhu Bajie's account was somewhat different from what he knew.

According to the tales of his past life, it seemed that the Female Drought Demon was the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, and during the battle against Chi You, she should have provided significant help to the Yellow Emperor, right?

Of course, the myths and historical legends of his past life might differ from the mythical world of Journey to the West, which wasn't surprising.

"Wait, the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You!?" Suddenly, at that moment, Jiang Liu's heart stirred, and his spirit became solemn.

In his previous life, the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You was part of history, supposedly spruced with mythical elements due to its ancient nature, but anyway, they were ordinary people, weren't they?

In the world of Journey to the West, if it's said that there was a battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, that would be a battle of the Human Clan, and in that era, the dominion of the Human Realm was not ordinary.

The status of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors was almost on par with the Great Jade Emperor, right?

Who could assist Chi You in dealing a heavy blow to the Yellow Emperor in that era?

The strength of this Drought Demon was far more terrifying than he had believed, wasn't it?

Having traveled westward all this way, Bajie was aware of his own strength and even more aware of Sun Wukong's.

Still, it seemed to be the first time on the western journey that Bajie cautioned him that the opponent was strong and difficult to deal with, right?

"Understood, Bajie. I get it. I will be cautious, and we will find the Drought Demon first!" Jiang Liu nodded with a serious expression.

Seeing the Master's serious demeanor, Zhu Bajie knew the Master took the matter to heart and said no more.

Just that the Ancient Drought Demon, which had been imprisoned in the Great Thunder Monastery of the Western Heaven for so many years, remained somewhat daunting to Zhu Bajie.

"Master, we've found it!" Just then, suddenly, a loud shout from Sun Wukong resounded, catching the attention of Jiang Liu and the others.

Since the incident turned Wowo Village into a place of desolation and the temperature there was the highest, it was clear that the hiding place of the Drought Demon wasn't too far from Wowo Village.

Sun Wukong descended, and by that time, Jiang Liu and his companions had already arrived at a large mountain about a hundred and eighty li away from Wowo Mountain.

The Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team entered the big mountain, with Sun Wukong leading the way forward. Soon, they arrived at a cave, where he said, "Master, the Drought Demon we're looking for is inside this cave!"

"Indeed well-hidden, who could find this place!" Jiang Liu remarked to himself upon seeing the inconspicuous cave hidden deep in the mountain.

Immediately thereafter, he stepped forward and walked into the cave.

The cave was not large; after about dozens of meters, it suddenly opened up.

A figure with disheveled hair was bound by numerous chains inscribed with golden Buddhist Texts, and on the forehead was a piece of a golden Buddhist Sutra.

From the outside, the Buddhist Sutra seemed identical to the one that had held down Sun Wukong on the Five Elements Mountain.

"Phew, it seems Guanyin Bodhisattva hasn't gone crazy enough to release the Drought Demon but left it here, creating the appearance of a natural disaster!" Seeing the Drought Demon still under seal, Jiang Liu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Jiang Liu's gaze landed on the Drought Demon, and he silently uttered in his mind: Character Interface.

Soon, the character interface for the Drought Demon appeared before Jiang Liu.

ID: Drought Demon (Golden)

Gender: Male.

Profession: Corpse.

Level: 90.

Equipment: None.

...

"Hiss..." Looking at the Drought Demon's level and information, Jiang Liu couldn't help but draw a sharp intake of breath. A level 90 with a golden board? From the character board, it seemed this Drought Demon had touched, or even stepped halfway into the realm of Quasi-Saints, right?

No wonder. Only with such strength could it have heavily damaged the forces of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times.

"Is this the guy turning Wowo Village into the ghost town we see today? Doesn't look anything special to me!" Sun Wukong hopped a few times to come face to face with the Drought Demon. He sized it up and tilting his head, he said.

While speaking, Sun Wukong noticed the Buddhist Sutra sticking to the Drought Demon's forehead. His brows furrowed tightly, and a harsh light flickered in his eyes, "It's another one of these Buddhist Sutras. And when I, Old Sun, was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, it was also just a Buddhist Sutra. This guy has so many chains in addition to the sutra? Could it be... this guy is even more formidable than I, Old Sun?"

In the middle of talking, Sun Wukong took out the Golden Hoop Stick right away.

"Wait, Wukong, what are you doing!?" Seeing Sun Wukong taking out the Golden Hoop Stick, Jiang Liu's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly asked.

"Master, aren't we going to do something?" Holding the Golden Hoop Stick, Sun Wukong was actually puzzled as he looked at Jiang Liu, "Now that we have found the Drought Demon, the only way to relieve Wowo Village of the drought is to take care of it, right?"

"This..." The words of Sun Wukong made Jiang Liu's heart faintly tighten.

Indeed, he was not wrong. Finding the Drought Demon was the first step, and the second step was to eliminate it.

If they didn't eliminate the Drought Demon, how could the epidemic in Wowo Village be resolved?

"Could it be? Do we have to seek help from the heavens like in the original story, where we encountered an unbeatable opponent, and then turn to Bodhisattva Guanyin for help, and she then takes the Drought Demon away to Spirit Mountain?" After pondering quietly for a moment, a thought like this emerged in Jiang Liu's mind.

But as soon as this idea came up, Jiang Liu shook his head inwardly.

No!

If the Drought Demon was confined to the Western Spirit Mountain, it indicated that the Drought Demon was useful to Western Spirit Mountain. Otherwise, the Buddhist Sect could have simply wiped it out instead of keeping it prisoner, right?

Since Guanyin had brought out the Drought Demon to create this catastrophe for him, he should take this opportunity to eliminate it, which would also be an indirect way to weaken the power of the Buddhist Sect, right?

After pondering for a moment, compared to simply completing the mission and asking Bodhisattva Guanyin to take the Drought Demon away, Jiang Liu was more inclined to eliminate the Drought Demon.

However, with a level 90 and golden board, and an overall strength that had stepped halfway into the Quasi-Saint realm, it wouldn't be easy for the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team to kill it, would it?

Moreover, the Drought Demon, in legends, resembled the existence of a Zombie King, and the character board seemed to confirm this legend. Zombies were usually known for their Defense Ability, right?

Additionally, Zhu Bajie also mentioned previously that the Drought Demon was crafted by Ancient Chi You using a body from the Ancient Witch Clan with Demon Refining Techniques, and the Witch Clan was a symbol of formidable strength, wasn't it?

"Master? Master?"

As Jiang Liu was silently contemplating strategies, Sun Wukong looked at him curiously, calling out a few times.

"Master, should we finish off this Drought Demon? Say something!" Seeing Jiang Liu snap back to reality after his calls, Sun Wukong urged.

"Finish it off? Of course, we should finish off such a guy!" Coming back to his senses, Jiang Liu said assertively as if it were obvious.

"If that's the case, then I, Old Sun, will get started!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words and having confirmation, Sun Wukong expressed his eagerness.

The Golden Hoop Stick had been strengthened to Epic Level quality, and in these past days, Sun Wukong had been eager to find a formidable opponent to test the power of the Jingu Bang.

"Wait, we don't act just yet!" However, just as Sun Wukong seemed ready to act, Jiang Liu shook his head.

"Then what do we do?" Sun Wukong, suppressing his impatience, asked Jiang Liu.

"Like this..." After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Liu turned around, looking at the White Dragon Horse beside him, "Xiaobai, go to the Wuzhuang Temple immediately and ask Great Immortal Zhenyuan to come save me!"

"Ah?"

Jiang Liu's words surprised Sun Wukong, the White Dragon Horse, and Sha Wujing as they all looked at Jiang Liu in astonishment.

"Just go!" Jiang Liu, however, did not offer any further explanation. He simply waved his hand, signaling Xiaobai to hurry.

"Okay, Master, I understand!" Seeing that Jiang Liu had no intention of explaining further, Xiaobai didn't ask more questions either. He nodded, leapt up, transformed into his White Dragon form, and swiftly flew off in the direction of Wuzhuang Temple.

"Next, we should release this Drought Demon, right?"

After instructing Xiaobai to find Master Zhenyuan, Jiang Liu's gaze then fell on the Drought Demon.

After a moment of thought, he reached out, attempting to grab the Buddhist Sutra stuck on the Drought Demon's forehead...
