Chapter 229: Meeting the Styx

The Jade Emperor said coldly, "Oh, if that's the case, then how about you go and call the Purple Star Emperor back?"

Li Jing's face changed drastically and he screamed, "Ah!" What a joke! He wanted to go see Emperor Ziwei by himself, wasn't that courting death?

The other gods couldn't help but smile playfully, secretly praising the Jade Emperor for his brilliant move.

"What? Li Jing, didn't you say that Ziwei Emperor was extremely evil? Now I just asked you to go and call him back, but you don't want to go?" The Jade Emperor slammed the table and said angrily.

Li Jing shuddered all over and almost fell to his knees. "I... I..." He didn't know what to say for a moment. Was he afraid of being killed by Jia Hu?

"Well, well, I...my strength is too low." Li Jing could only speak stutteringly.

“Haha, don’t worry, I promise that Emperor Ziwei will not hurt you.” The Jade Emperor said slowly.

Li Jing's face suddenly turned bitter. You promise? What a joke. Jia Hu is simply a killing god. Who knows what he will do to me?
"Your Majesty, you should find someone else. Well, I think Nezha is a good choice." Li Jing no longer cared about anything else. He directly refused and began to recommend.

Nezha, who was originally smiling at Li Jing's misfortune, was almost angry to death after hearing this. Although he was not afraid of Emperor Ziwei, he could not sell himself out, especially to Li Jing.

"Li Jing." Nezha shouted angrily.

The other gods couldn't help but look at Nezha with pity. It was really hard to describe how miserable it was to have such a father.

Li Jing took a few steps back when he saw Nezha's angry expression.
Then he put the exquisite pagoda in front of him and said, "Humph, what are you yelling about? I'm your father. What's wrong with asking you to do something? Do you know what filial piety is?"

Nezha's eyes were already red. If he hadn't been concerned about the exquisite pagoda, he would have rushed forward and stabbed Li Jing to death with a single shot.

The other gods showed disdain, isn't this Nezha his son? They couldn't help but whisper.

Li Jing felt humiliated and his face looked extremely ugly. He was about to continue scolding Nezha.

"Enough." The Jade Emperor naturally would not let things go on like this. He shouted coldly, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

The Jade Emperor looked at Li Jing coldly. "Hmph, is it time for you to be picky? If you don't want to go, that's easy. Come, take Li Jing to the Heavenly Prison and release him after five hundred years."

Immediately, several heavenly soldiers and generals came in. Li Jing's face changed drastically. "Ah, no, Your Majesty, I will go, I will go."

"It's too late." The Jade Emperor said coldly, then with a wave of his hand, Li Jing was suppressed by the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Li Jing did not dare to resist. He was afraid that the Jade Emperor would suppress him directly, which would be counterproductive. So he could only follow the heavenly soldiers and generals.

The gods looked at Li Jing's back with some gloating. Li Jing was really inflated today.

"Okay, let's adjourn the court." The Jade Emperor stood up and strode away.

The gods left in groups of two or three after discussing their opinions. They knew that the matter would be left unresolved.

In the underworld, Jia Hu slowly fell to the ground, and the aura on his body slowly dissipated, becoming harmless to humans and animals.

Xuan Ming admired and said, "First you defeated Donghuang Taiyi, and then you killed the golden body of Tathagata. Your reputation in the Three Realms must have soared."

Jia Hu shook his head and said, "It's useless. It's a pity that I couldn't kill him." There was some regret in his tone.

Xuan Ming shook his head helplessly. It was not so easy to kill Tathagata.

Suddenly, Jia Hu's ears moved and he looked in one direction. "Xuanming Zuwu, you go back. I'm going to the Sea of ​​Blood to see an old friend." After saying that, he flashed and went towards the Sea of ​​Blood.

Xuan Ming was stunned. How could he agree? He said without thinking, "I'll go too." Then he followed.

"That old man of the Styx is not a good person, you'd better be careful." Xuan Ming followed and couldn't help but remind him.

When Jia Hu saw Xuan Ming following him, he didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, "Well, thank you for reminding me, I understand."

Xuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I'll follow you. After all, you were invited by my Wu clan, so nothing can happen to you."

Jia Hu didn't care about it. Xuan Ming thought it was fine for him to follow him, as he didn't have anything shameful to do.

Sea of ​​blood. As soon as you arrive here, you can feel the bloody and murderous aura all around. The sea of ​​blood is rolling. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an extremely dangerous place.

At this time, a blood-red lotus appeared on the sea of ​​blood. The flower had twelve petals and sat on it. A young man in a red robe was sitting on it. His long hair was flying and his temperament was a bit cold.

Jia Hu walked over, saw the familiar young man, and nodded slightly.

"You're here?" Minghe looked at Jia Hu with curiosity.

"Well, I'm here." Jia Hu said in a flat tone.

Xuan Ming looked at the two of them strangely. Why did he feel that there was a weird atmosphere between them?

"Haha, I didn't expect that you would cause such a big noise as soon as you came out, and even killed Tathagata's clone. Tsk tsk, I'm afraid that I am no match for you now." Minghe laughed.

Jia Hu looked Minghe up and down, nodded and said, "Well, you are indeed no match for me."

"Uh" Minghe choked when he heard this, and looking at Jia Hu's serious expression, he was speechless for a moment. Can they still chat? This is just killing the topic, okay?

"Puchi." Xuan Ming couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. He felt that Jia Hu was really interesting.

Noticing that the two were looking at him, Xuan Ming quickly put down his hands and restored his cold expression, but his rolling eyes were obviously not so calm.

Minghe shook his head. "You are still so straightforward."

Jia Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "Minghe, just tell me what you want to say."

Minghe nodded, "I want to form an alliance with you." His tone was serious.

"Alliance?" Jia Hu was stunned and looked at Minghe in confusion. "What's the purpose of alliance?"

"Of course, we will deal with Tathagata together." Minghe said impatiently.

Jia Hu shook his head, "No, I can deal with Tathagata."

Minghe didn't expect Jia Hu to refuse, and quickly said, "I'm talking about dealing with the entire Buddhist sect. No matter how powerful you are, how many people can you deal with?"

Jia Hu fell silent immediately. Minghe was right. Lingshan was very powerful. As long as they found a few people to hold him back, he would not be able to do anything to the Buddhist sect.

He is not arrogant. Although he has the power of Heaven to use, he cannot use it too much, otherwise he will attract the attention of Heaven if he is not careful.

If it were to discover that a thief was secretly stealing the origin of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao would probably immediately deal with the Heavenly Dao Gu.

Minghe saw Jia Hu was silent and immediately smiled. "What do you think? There are only benefits and no harm in forming an alliance with me."

Jia Hu looked at Minghe again, "Okay, then you should prepare well, and then we can attack Lingshan together."

Minghe breathed a sigh of relief, he finally convinced this guy. There was no other way, he had already realized that Lingshan was going to take action against him, they wanted Asura.

But how could I agree to this? There must be a fight.

But he did not say these things out loud. As long as they formed an alliance, he believed that when the Buddhists attacked, Jia Hu would not stand idly by.

Jia Hu said indifferently, "You asked me to come here just for this?"

Minghe was stunned. "Isn't this important?"

Jia Hu shook his head slightly and turned to leave. Minghe was stunned but did not stop him. He had wanted to let him take a good look at his territory, but now he just left.

Jia Hu has decided to leave the underworld, and the matter is almost done.

Xuan Ming followed behind him, his eyes flickering. Perhaps the Wu Clan could also form an alliance with Jia Hu, but she had to discuss it with her sister. She couldn't make the decision alone.

But she had made her decision and intended to make it happen.

Jia Hu suddenly stopped and turned to Xuanming and said, "Thank you, Xuanming Zuwu. I am leaving now."

Xuan Ming came back to his senses and looked at Jia Hu in front of him. A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and a red stone appeared in his hand. "Here is yours. If you need my help, crush it and I will come."

Jia Hu looked at the mysterious aura on the stone, hesitated for a moment, then put it away and nodded, "Okay."

Then he also took out a jade centipede and handed it to Xuan Ming, "You crush the centipede, and I will come to help."

Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment, then took it with surprise, "Then I won't be polite." He carefully put the centipede away.

Jia Hu nodded and his figure slowly disappeared.

Xuan Ming stood there, feeling a little lost. After a long time, she turned around and headed towards the depths of reincarnation.

After leaving the underworld, Jia Hu flew towards the heaven. He still had to inform the Jade Emperor about the birth of Donghuang Taiyi.

Although the Jade Emperor already knows about it, we still have to see what he plans to do.

In Heaven, Yaochi, the Jade Emperor and Jia Hu sat together, with peaches and fine wine on the table.

The Jade Emperor looked Jia Hu up and down, and said with some joy, "You are getting stronger and stronger. Even Donghuang Taiyi and Tathagata are no match for you."

Jia Hu shook his head and said, "They probably didn't use their full strength, otherwise they wouldn't be beaten away so easily by me."

The Jade Emperor's face became solemn. "Yes, even if Tathagata didn't tell me, Donghuang Taiyi was the protagonist of the ancient war between witches and liches, and he was also a listener of Zixiao Palace. He is very powerful."

Jia Hu looked calm and just nodded slightly. Others only saw that he defeated Donghuang Taiyi, but he knew that was not the case.

He even suspected that Donghuang Taiyi had lost on purpose in order to reduce other people's attention to him. After all, the return of an ancient powerful man would make many people uneasy.

The Jade Emperor obviously thought of this as well, and sighed, "Alas, these are troubled times."

Jia Hu looked at the Jade Emperor and asked, "So what are you going to do? Are you going to send someone to capture Donghuang Taiyi?"

The Jade Emperor was stunned and looked at Jia Hu speechlessly. "How to catch him? With his strength, who else in Heaven can bring him back except you?"

Jia Hu narrowed his eyes and looked more serious. "I can go and catch him."

The Jade Emperor was stunned. Looking at Jia Hu's expression, his heart trembled. He instantly understood what Jia Hu meant. If the Jade Emperor wanted him to capture Donghuang Taiyi, then all the cause and effect between them would be gone and no one would owe anyone anything.

The Jade Emperor immediately shook his head and said, "No, the one that Donghuang Taiyi is most worried about is not me, but Tathagata."

Jia Hu looked at the Jade Emperor in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Haha, have you forgotten? Now is the time of catastrophe, and the protagonist of this catastrophe is Buddhism. The first thing Donghuang Taiyi has to face is Buddhism." The Jade Emperor said with a smile.

Jia Hu was stunned and nodded slightly. It was true. Buddhism planned to spread eastward and converted many monsters, but also killed many. As the demon king of the demon clan, he must rescue those monsters.

Jia Hu didn't say anything more. Since the Jade Emperor was not going to let him take action, it didn't matter.

The two chatted for a while, and the Jade Emperor suddenly talked about Li Jing. He did not hide anything and told Jia Hu Li Jing's identity.

Jia Hu's eyes flashed coldly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand."

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, and said that it was good that Jia Hu could accept the favor.

Jia Hu left afterwards and went to the Heavenly Prison first.

When the guards of the Heavenly Prison saw that it was Jia Hu, they were all shocked and knelt down to call him the Emperor.

Jia Hu said calmly, "Everyone, get up and take me to see Li Jing."

The guards shuddered, knowing that Li Jing was in big trouble.

In the prison, Li Jing was sitting cross-legged, trying hard to resist the evil spirit and strong wind. This was the environment inside the prison, and it was not a place for prisoners to enjoy themselves.

"Li Jing." Jia Hu stood outside, looking at Li Jing inside, and said lightly.

Li Jing, who had his eyes closed, heard a familiar voice, opened his eyes suddenly, and screamed "Emperor Ziwei."

Jia Hu said calmly, "You want to cause trouble for me?"

Li Jing's face changed, and he couldn't help but groan in his heart. He didn't wait for the Buddha's salvation, but waited for this evil star. "That misunderstanding..."

Jia Hu shook his head, suddenly raised his hand, and extended a finger, "I'll kill you once, and it won't happen again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black light shot out from his fingertips.

When Li Jing saw the black light, he felt that he would be destroyed in the next moment. How terrifying it was.

He hurriedly took out the exquisite pagoda and used it to block himself, and the black light hit the pagoda in the blink of an eye.

Before Li Jing could breathe a sigh of relief, the exquisite pagoda disappeared bit by bit, as if it had been wiped out by something.

Then the black light still shot into Li Jing's body.

Li Jing's whole body stiffened, fear appeared in his eyes, and then he turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The guard next to him was almost frightened to death when he saw this scene. Did Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, die like this?
Jia Hu turned and left. It was just a small problem that was solved. Although Li Jing's true spirit would be resurrected in the Investiture of the Gods, it should teach him a lesson.

Jia Hu returned to the Ziwei Palace. He was planning to plot against the Star Stone. He first gave an order to have everyone in the Ziwei Palace keep an eye on Beijuluzhou and report to him if anything happened.

He believed that Donghuang Taiyi would not remain silent and would definitely cause trouble.

He just had to wait.

On the other side, Guanyin came to Gao Village, and her face turned dark in an instant.

Because she saw an incredible scene: under a big tree in a yard, Fahai was playing chess with Zhu Bajie. Fahai even picked up the teacup and took a sip from time to time, just like he was a guest at a friend's house.

Suddenly Fahai and Zhu Bajie raised their heads at the same time. Zhu Bajie couldn't help laughing and said, "Ha, see, I said that Buddhism couldn't help itself."

Fahai's eyes flickered, "Alas, it's been exactly one month, and I lost."

Guanyin's eyes twitched when she heard this. What did that mean? They were risking themselves, right? She almost couldn't help but slap the two men to death.

But she didn't dare. Not to mention that Fahai, the pilgrim who was seeking the scriptures, could not be killed, even Zhu Bajie had the Emperor Ziwei behind him, and she couldn't bear it now.
