The Ox King

  Titled, The Great Sage Who Pacifies the Heaven.

  While he was not as powerful as Sun Wukong, he was still very powerful.

  Logically speaking, he should be in Dragonquarry, but he was in Silvermoon.

  That meant that he was quite heavily injured, and he had lost much of his power.

  Perhaps that was why the quest would appear.

  Ling Luo was the one that triggered the quest. While Jiang Feng was the one that captured Red Boy in the end, the final quest still fell on Ling Luo.

  Bajia Cave. It was close to the Fire Cloud Cave, but far from the Flaming Mountains, and within a mountain that had good scenery.

  ***

  A green field in front of Bajia Cave.

  The very beautiful Princess Iron Fan was guiding a yellow ox to have a walk under the sunset.

  The yellow ox would eat the grass, and would sometimes moo at her.

  Maybe it was tired, the yellow ox lay on the ground and looked up into the sky, its pair of oxen eyes seemed to be looking at something.

  Hope? Despair? Regret? Yearning?

  Princess Iron Fan looked at the yellow ox next to him and then lay on it lightly by its side. “You stupid ox. All those years ago when you joined Sun Wukong during the Great Divine-Infernal War and had only received the ‘The Great Sage Who Pacifies the Heaven’ title in return. Have you ever regretted it?”


  “Moo…… I do not. The reason that I accompanied Little Brother Sun to fight in the Divine-Infernal War was not only because of our final dignity as Shifters but also for you. If not, I would have never met you!” The yellow ox mooed, “If I am given another chance, I will still accompany Little Brother Sun, to break this earth and shatter that sky! All of that for the Shifters’ dignity, and your appearance!”


  Princess Iron Fan’s eyes were also filled with tears as she embraced the yellow ox’s next, “Ox, you are an idiot! It’s all my fault. If you did not help me block that attack, you would not have become like this!”


  The yellow ox smiled and mooed, “Hehe, I have sworn to protect you and not let you come to harm. Not even a little!”


  Princess Iron Fan held the yellow ox even more tightly and said to herself, “Worry not. Next time, I will protect you!”


  ***

  A secret room underneath the Imperial Palace, Tianzi City.

  King Zhou frowned as he looked at the alchemical furnace in front of him, and said, “No, we failed again. We have the bloodlines of all Six Sacred Tribes. What else are we missing?”


  An old man that guarded next to the alchemical furnace smiled and said, “My King, while we have all the bloodlines of the Six Sacred Tribes, we are still missing a Catalyst!”


  King Zhou looked at the old man next to him and began to fan the alchemical furnace and asked, “What kind of Catalyst?”


  “Indeed, the Six Sacred Tribes possess great bloodline power. But My King, you have forgotten about the word ‘Sacred.’ That word does not point toward the Six Sacred Tribes, but it points toward the Soul of a Great Sage. The more powerful pills could give birth to pill spirits. We have all the ingredients for the Sacred-Six Pill, but it has no Pill Spirit. When we have the pill spirit, only then will we successfully create the Sacred-Six Pill!” The old man stroked his white beard and said with a smile.

  “The soul of a great saint?” King Zhou asked.

  “Correct, and it must be the soul of a Great Sage that is of Rank Nine and above because the Sacred-Six Pill is a Rank Nine Greater Sacred Pill!” The white beard man said again.

  “Rank Nine Great Sage, you must be joking. Other than I, even those that have the power of a Great Sage would not surpass Rank Five on Silvermoon. Does that not mean the Sacred-Six Pill could not be created?” King Zhou’s face became sour.

  The white-bearded old man said, “My King, you must be too busy until you have forgotten some important things. Have you forgotten that there ias someone on Silvermoon with power that has surpassed yours?!”


  King Zhou frowned and said, “Who? Who has the power to surpass me on Silvermoon?”


  “Ten thousand years ago during the Great Divine-Infernal War. Did the Ox King, the Great Sage Who Pacifies the Heaven and Sun Wukong’s eldest brother, not escape to Silvermoon?”


  “You mean……”


  “Yes. His injuries are quite severe. He can only polymorph for two hours each day, and the rest of the time he was just a normal yellow ox. Even if he polymorphed, his powers were far reduced. At most, he would have the power of a Rank Three Great Sage. He will not be able to defeat you!”


  “Haha, Xu Fu! As expected of Emperor Qin’s most trusted minister! You have done me a great service!”


  ***

  The sunset was beautiful.

  In the sunset, the beauty and the yellow ox embraced each other. While it did not look harmonious, it gave the sunset a different shade of color.

  Whoosh!

  At this time, a figure broke the silence between the beauty and the yellow ox.

  “Haha! To think that the Great Sage Who Pacifies the Heaven from ten thousand years ago was just a herbivorous yellow ox now, how sad!”


  When Princess Iron Fan and the Ox King who were enjoying their quiet happiness heard the laughter filled with scorn, they immediately stood up.

  Princess Iron Fan immediately took out her Bajia Fan and looked at who it was while the Ox King subconsciously used its large body to block in front of Princess Iron Fan.

  “King Zhou!”


  When Princess Iron Fan saw who it was, her face became pale.

  On Silvermoon, there was only one person that worried them the most that would come for them. That person was the ruler of Silvermoon, King Zhou.

  Because in this place, only King Zhou could threaten her and the Ox King.

  “Hehe, no need to be so nervous. The Great Sage Who Pacifies the Heaven is still my senior. I am not malevolent in my intent for coming here this time. I only wish to borrow something!” King Zhou looked at the very beautiful Princess Iron Fan with interest and smiled playfully.

  “There is nothing here that you will want. Even if there is, we will not lend it to you!” Princess Iron Fan detected vileness in how King Zhou was looking at her, so she replied to him with loathing.

  “My pretty, whether you will lend it or not is irrelevant. I will take it away!” King Zhou smiled wickedly and continued, “Besides that, my harem is also quite empty. You will go back with me too, my pretty!”


  Moo!

  When the Ox King heard King Zhou say that, it raised its head and mooed. A white light flashed, and he became a handsome man with a pair of horns. However, his face was very pale.

  After polymorphing into the Ox King, he said to King Zhou coldly with fury in his eyes, “If you do not want to die, leave now!”


  When King Zhou saw the Ox King’s polymorph, he sneered at him, “Ox King, you only have the power of a Rank One Great Sage. You dare to speak to me that way?”


  The Ox King extended his palm, and a dark-red Ringed Saber appeared in his hand.

  In that instance, the entire space seemed to have been filled with the scent of blood. It was a testament to the number of people slain by the Ringed Saber.

  “I suppose I can tell you the reason that I came here today. The reason is that I want your Great Sage Soul! Originally, I wanted to let you have an easier death. But since you are going to make this difficult, forgive me if I am going to be extremely vulgar with my methods!

  When king Zhou saw that the Ox King was already prepared for battle, he took out his Dragon Saber and snorted coldly, then quickly rushed toward the Ox King.

  “Iron Fan, stay aside!”


  The Ox King said to Princess Iron Fan softly, then danced with the Ringed Saber in his hand, and two bloody bulls rushed toward King Zhou, attempting to trample him.

  “I have fought both Heaven and Earth, and a junior like you wish to steal my soul? Die!”


  The Ox King roared out angrily as his aura became intense, and he followed after the two bloody bull artifact spirits and slashed his Ringed Saber at King Zhou.
