The monkey waved his hand and said, "I just can't stand these guys' arrogant attitude. This guy under my feet could take on ten of them, but he's still called a Heavenly King, while I'm just a stable boy."
Upon hearing this, Li Tianwang, who was being trampled underfoot, turned pale.
"Monkey, don't be so arrogant. I know everything you know, and you may not know everything I know."
"cut……"
The monkey didn't refute this statement. He knew Bai Zhi, who had studied with him under the Bodhi Patriarch. He knew Bai Zhi well; aside from anything else, she must have thoroughly mastered the Seventy-Two Transformations.
Although he didn't know their cultivation levels, he estimated that they were about the same in terms of supernatural abilities.
"Alright, let Li Tianwang go. He was just following orders."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing, who was being trampled underfoot, cast a grateful glance at Bai Zhi.
That monkey is too barbaric. Doesn't it know that you shouldn't hit someone in the face? Only Bai Zhi Zhenjun is understanding.
"Humph……"
The monkey kicked Li Jing aside speechlessly, then hoisted the golden cudgel onto his shoulder. "Little White, you told me I couldn't keep fighting forever, but now it seems I really can."
Bai Zhi was amused by the monkey; this guy still remembered what she had told him.
"Good, good, you're amazing. Now you can accept the imperial pardon, right? Come back to Heaven with me and be a carefree immortal."
"If you tell me to go, I'll just go. Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
The monkey, carrying the golden cudgel, looked up at the sky with a disdainful expression.
"You impudent monkey, you've gotten so arrogant, haven't you? I'm in a hurry. If you don't come back to Heaven with me, don't come looking for me if anything happens later."
Chapter 644 The Power of Healing
"Brother Wukong... no, Great Sage, you should come back with us. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your monkey descendants."
Venus pointed to the monkey soldiers who were still fighting against the heavenly soldiers, and there were already quite a few corpses lying there.
Even though Sun Wukong crossed out the names of these monkeys in the Book of Life and Death, it doesn't mean they are immortal; it just means they won't die of old age.
If someone kills you, you will still become a corpse.
……
Looking at the monkeys and their offspring still fighting fiercely, Sun Wukong fell silent.
Since these monkeys and their offspring revered him as their king, he had to take responsibility. Although he could withstand the attacks of these gods, the repeated attacks of the heavenly soldiers and generals were still very frightening for the monkeys.
Although these celestial soldiers are not gods, but strictly speaking, they are all battle spirits who were raised from soldiers who died in the mortal realm. However, with the support of the Heavenly Court, they can't defeat powerful people, but they can easily bully weaker beings.
"Seriously... everyone, stop right now."
Bai Zhi said it softly, her voice not loud, but it could be heard throughout the entire Flower and Fruit Mountain.
The monkey demon and the heavenly soldiers, who were engaged in battle, looked at each other in bewilderment, and then heard their own Heavenly King Li's voice: "Didn't you hear what Immortal Baizhi said? Stop immediately and retreat!"
Then, Bai Zhi pressed one hand to the ground, and the power of the horse talisman surged into it. The Flower Fruit Mountain, which had been blown to pieces, quickly returned to its original appearance as if time had reversed.
The monkey soldiers who had turned into corpses were also infused with powerful life force, and the souls that were originally wandering around were immediately drawn back to their bodies and came back to life.
In this world, as long as the soul is still around, the difficulty of resurrection is much simpler than in other worlds.
Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong scratched his head. He really couldn't do this. He was unparalleled in battle, but when it came to healing, he was either completely ignorant or utterly incompetent.
Even Li Jing's eyes widened slightly; no wonder Laozi took Bai Zhi as his disciple.
Healing abilities are not uncommon; many deities possess some life-saving and restorative magic. However, the ability to restore an entire mountain to its original state on such a large scale, while also resurrecting the monkeys, is something that ordinary deities cannot accomplish.
"King Li, you must be exhausted from this battle. Here, have some treatment."
Bai Zhi smiled and waved to Li Jing.
"Thank you, True Lord!"
Li Jing hurriedly went over, and then felt a powerful healing force reverberating in his body. The injuries he had sustained from fighting the monkey were almost instantly healed.
Even his tattered general's armor returned to its original state, as if he had never experienced a brutal battle.
At this moment, Li Jing really wanted to ask Bai Zhi if she had ever considered coming to his service as a general or something.
If I had this healing ability, I wouldn't have been in such a sorry state during the fight with that monkey. I would probably have a huge advantage when facing some monsters that I need to conquer.
But when he thought of Bai Zhi's title and that she had been accepted as a disciple by Lao Jun, he regretfully put aside his idea.
With his position, he doesn't need to associate with roughnecks like us.
"Please have the Heavenly King take the heavenly soldiers back to report. I'll take care of things here."
"This……"
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. It would be too much for him to refuse the request after the other party had just treated him.
Of course, more importantly, he was no match for this monkey. If he stayed here and got beaten up again, he would lose face even more.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Li Jing shouted to some of the lower-ranking officers.
Suddenly, a metallic clanging sound echoed throughout Flower Fruit Mountain, and the heavenly soldiers and generals departed one by one on clouds.
However, after taking to the sky, Li Jing felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a long time, he finally realized what was going on.
"Wait, where's my tower??"
Li Jing stared wide-eyed at his right hand with some panic. That was his lifeline; without that tower, he might be in mortal danger.
"Did you see where I went before?"
He asked the heavenly soldiers and generals behind him.
"Your Majesty, the battle was too chaotic before, with things flying everywhere, so we really didn't see anything."
The heavenly soldiers and generals all shook their heads.
"broken!!"
……
"Are you satisfied now?"
In the restored Flower Fruit Mountain, Bai Zhi looked at Sun Wukong and said calmly.
"Hehehe, Xiaobai, thanks."
The monkey scratched his head sheepishly. He knew that without Bai Zhi's methods, it would be wishful thinking for him to restore Flower Fruit Mountain.
"Blindly following one's impulses, completely disregarding the lives and deaths of those around them."
"Stop talking, stop talking, Xiaobai. You're not my master, so don't go on with all this long-winded nonsense."
The monkey covered its head, looking like it wouldn't listen.
"I think you're suited for a job where you don't have to do anything but visit relatives and friends every day. This Monkey King position is a good fit for you, as long as you don't cause any trouble."
Bai Zhi said meaningfully.
If the monkey had obediently become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and cultivated himself slowly, he might have been able to advance even further.
If one chooses to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, although one may consume many elixirs in the end, one's escape route will likely be severely compromised.
"Okay, okay, I'm going back. Stop lecturing me. I can't stand all that lectures. It gives me a headache."
The monkey shouted.
Bai Zhi helplessly shrugged; it seemed this guy hadn't listened to a word she said.
The subsequent havoc in Heaven is probably unavoidable.
"That's all, sir. Let's go back together."
Bai Zhi looked at Venus.
"As expected of you, you put in a lot of effort to recall the Great Sage this time. I will go back and immediately ask His Majesty for credit on your behalf."
Venus gave a thumbs up; he had originally thought this trip would be very difficult.
After all, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, had led his heavenly soldiers and generals to fight the monkey, and so many demon monkeys had died. This feud had become very serious.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi restored Flower Fruit Mountain with her intervention and resurrected the demon monkeys, effectively resolving the root of the conflict.
“Serving His Majesty is my duty, sir, there’s no need for that.”
Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said.
"I understand, haha."
Venus wouldn't really stop talking just because Bai Zhi said that. Anyone with a normal IQ knows that it was just a humble way of putting it.
The rewards that should be offered must be offered.
Chapter 645 A Reward from the Jade Emperor
"Your Majesty, Bai Zhi Zhenjun has made a great contribution in this attempt to pacify Sun Wukong, and she has also prevented the situation from developing further. I believe Li Tianwang would agree with this."
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Venus bowed slightly and respectfully addressed the Jade Emperor, who sat on the throne.
"Oh? Minister Li, is what Taibai said true?"
Li Jing stood there, seemingly oblivious, his eyes glazed over, saying nothing.
"Ok?"
The Jade Emperor looked at Li Jing with a puzzled expression.
"Li Tianwang, Li Tianwang?"
Seeing this, Venus poked the absent-minded Li Jing in the waist.
"Uh... ah!"
Li Jing jumped as if startled by something.
"What's wrong with King Li? Why is he acting like this?"
Venus asked with concern, "How about we ask True Monarch Baizhi to examine you?"
Bai Zhi, standing beside him, smiled and nodded to Li Jing, "If Heavenly King Li has any hidden ailments, I can help treat them."
"No...nothing."
Li Jing's face turned somewhat pale, mainly because some terrifying images had just replayed in his mind: his exquisite pagoda had mysteriously disappeared during the battle with that mischievous monkey, and he had even returned to Flower Fruit Mountain to have the heavenly soldiers and generals search for it.
However, nothing was found.
According to his previous recollection of the battlefield, his tower was blown away during the battle with the monkey.
This shouldn't have been a cause for concern, because such a treasure should, in theory, be able to be recalled directly within a certain range—that's a basic function.
Even if those monkey demons take it away, they won't be able to suppress this pagoda. It can return with just a thought.
But... that exquisite pagoda just vanished in such a magnificent way. At that time, only Sun Wukong, Taibai Jinxing, and Bai Zhi were able to control the pagoda.
However, the monkey was still fighting him to the death and hadn't left his sight at all. And Taibai Jinxing wasn't that kind of person. As the Jade Emperor's special envoy and the God of War in charge of war, why would he need such a thing?
There's only one Angelica dahurica left.
But he was so kind to him. First, he helped him out of the predicament, preventing him from being beaten up by the monkey. Later, he even treated his injuries. He was such a good person.
Moreover, she had come all the way with Venus, so it was impossible for her to take the pagoda.
Therefore, he guessed that the fight might have attracted some powerful demon kings or something similar, who then took away his pagoda that had been knocked away.
This gave him an even bigger headache. In such a vast world, how could he possibly find the demon that had taken his magic weapon among all living beings?
He couldn't possibly abandon his duty to guard the Heavenly Court and instead arbitrarily descend to the mortal realm to search for magical treasures.
The most important thing, and also the terrifying scene that had just crossed his mind, was that his rebellious son would turn against the Heavenly Gang after discovering that the tower was gone.
Although he is a superstar, in terms of strength, he is no match for his son.
"Minister Li, is what Taibai just said true?"
The Jade Emperor repeated the question with a somewhat displeased expression. No matter where you are, being distracted and having your boss repeat the question is bound to make your boss very unhappy.
