Chapter 731: Imps of Yaochi
Once he was next to Doulu Palace, Jiang Feng changed his appearance into that of a Celestial General. He then headed in as Zhu Bajie hid outside.
He had just stepped into Doulu Palace when he was greeted with the sweet scent of medicine. He felt refreshed as he took a deep breath.
While there was a huge cauldron in the palace, he did not feel the rising temperature after he came in. Instead, he felt somewhat invigorated.
There seemed to be some kind of array here blocking the heat.
After he came in, he then saw Taishang Laojun sitting cross-legged in front of the Bagua Furnace while the Golden-horned Child and Silver-horned Child were fanning it.
“Where are your manners! Doulu Palace is not somewhere that Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals like you can enter!” When the Golden-horned Child saw Jiang Feng, he rolled his eyes and yelled out at him.
“My apologies. Someone attacked the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor asked me to inform you to go over. As the messenger has something else to do, he asked me to come to inform you instead,” Jiang Feng said with a smile.
The Silver-horned Child then scoffed at him, “Huh. A messenger can give you orders? A Celestial General? How useless can you be?!”
Jiang Feng thought to himself, ‘What the hell... Just you wait, kids. Once the old guy is gone, I am going to teach you a lesson!”
“Enough. Both of you, take care of the palace while I am gone. I will return soon!” Taishang Laojun opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Feng who was smiling awkwardly. He then said to the Golden-horned Child and Silver-horned Child before leaving Doulu Palace.
Jiang Feng did not leave immediately. He bowed respectfully as he waited for Taishang Laojun to leave.
Of course, he was not going to leave. His respectfulness was just a ruse.
Once Taishang Laojun had left Doulu Palace on a cloud, he then straightened up his back.
“Garbage! Why are you still here?” The Golden-horned Child sneered at Jiang Feng who was still standing there.
“Garbage?” Jiang Feng looked at both of them.
Perhaps his eyes were too cold, both the Golden-horned Child and Silver-horned Child shuddered.
As he felt that he had lost his dignity because he was afraid, the Golden-horned Child then became angry and chided, “You garbage! How dare you look at us with that kind of eyes? Do you think...”
Whoosh!
In a flash, Jiang Feng had already appeared next to the Golden-horn Child. He caught him by the neck and lifted him up into the air. Next, the Chaos Lightning Orb appeared in his hand, and he violently slammed it into his head. Instantly, blood splashed all over the entire floor.
Just as the Golden-horned Child was struck numb by the Chaos Lightning Orb, he then threw him into the Lianyao Flask.
When the Silver-horned Child saw that he was so powerful, his face went pale from the shock. When Jiang Feng was dealing with the Golden-horned Child, he quickly flew out of the palace.
But before he even managed to fly out, he was slammed back into the palace by Zhu Bajie’s rake.
Next, Jiang Feng then took out the Chaos Lightning Orb and slammed it at the Silver-horned Child, and threw him into the Lianyao Flask as well.
“Gather!”
After capturing both the Golden-horned Child and Silver-horned Child, he then took out the Lianyao Flask and then threw it into the air. In the next moment, all the pills within Doulu Palace had entered the Lianyao Flask.
In just a short moment, all the pills within Doulu Palace had been taken in.
After he had gathered all the pills, his attention then shifted toward the Bagua Furnace.
He jumped up and landed on the Bagua Furnace. He took out Deicide and struck the Bagua Furnace away.
In the next moment, he saw the Jingu Staff being kept within it, and it was being burned by the Flames of Samadhi.
“Old friend, let’s go!”
He waved his hand and the Jingu Staff flew out of the Bagua Furnace excitedly. It then turned into a needle and entered Jiang Feng’s ears.
Once he had obtained the Jingu Staff, he did not stay any longer. He had Zhu Bajie sent back into the Lianyao Flask and quickly left Doulu Palace.
Once Taishang Laojun realized that he was lied to, he would definitely return as soon as possible. He would need to leave soon, or he would not be able to leave at all.
He only managed to get into the Heavenly Palace after so much effort. He would not leave before he had finished all his tasks.
This time, he did not transform into anyone but he turned invisible instead. His body was surrounded by the Demesne of Space. He then flew toward Yaochi as he disappeared into thin air.
He wanted to know why the bodies of the dead Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals were thrown into Yaochi.
Yaochi should be one of the most sacred places in the Heavenly Palace. Why would it become a place where they disposed of the dead bodies?
As he was no longer afraid of being exposed, he headed toward Yaochi as quickly as possible.
While on his way there, he saw Taishang Laojun on his way back with an angered expression on his face. He found it quite hilarious. It was obvious that he had lost his dignity before the Jade Emperor.
‘I wonder what kind of expression he would have once he realized that the Golden-horned Child, the Silver-horned Child, the pills, and the Jingu Staff had disappeared?’ Jiang Feng thought to himself. After about two minutes, he then arrived at Yaochi.
Yaochi was where the Mother Empress lived.
However, as soon as he had gotten close to Yaochi, he then smelled the scent of blood.
“Something’s not right!” Jiang Feng frowned as he sniffed at the scent of blood in the air.
Once he was close to Yaochi, he then looked at the pool. What he saw shook him to the core.
What was within Yaochi was not water, but boiling blood.
A group of Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals then threw the bodies of their dead comrades into the pools.
Squeak!
As soon as the bodies were thrown into the pool, many bald children surfaced from within Yaochi. The children were like crocodiles, shredding and biting the corpses. In but a short moment, not even bones were left of those corpses.
Once the children had eaten the bodies, green veins appeared on their foreheads. Their expressions were horrendous and they kept on crying with their heads raised as if they were not full yet.
As if knowing that the bald children were still hungry, an invisible force appeared from a palace nearby. Suddenly, all the Celestial Generals and Celestial Soldiers that had thrown down the bodies were pushed in.
“Ah!”
When the bald children saw the dozens of Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals fall into the pool of blood, they excitedly pounced on them as they began to feast on them. All the Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals let out a cry of pain and despair.
“Queen Mother! Why... Why...”
“I do not want to die... I do not want to die...”
...
The Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals begged in the direction of the palace.
Listening to their cries, Jiang Feng frowned as anger appeared within his eyes.
“Why is the Queen Mother keeping all these imps here? I should go down and take a look!”
There must be a reason why Yaochi had become like this.
If he could understand what was going on, he might be able to save Fairy Violetglow and the others.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he then jumped into the blood pool when the imps were still feasting.
Because of the Demesne of Space surrounding him, the blood within the blood pool could not touch him. That was why the imps and the Queen Mother in the palace did not realize that he was there.
Once he had entered the blood pool, in order to stop the powerful stench coming from the blood, he then set up a few more layers of barriers within the Demesne of Space to block the scent of blood from entering his nostrils.
Hiss...
He kept on swimming deep down into the blood pool, he then saw something that sent chills down his spine.
