Publicly embarrassed, anger rose within him, and in a fit of rage, the Young Master of the County Magistrate fiercely slashed his knife at the White Dragon Horse.
The ferocious deanor shocked the Prefectural Governor of Fengxian County, who was horrified and wanted to intervene, but he was too late.
With a "pop" sound!
However, when the knife struck, the Young Master only felt as if he had hit sothing incredibly tough, making it impossible for his knife to break through.
Looking at the appearance of the White Dragon Horse, not to ntion being injured, not even a single hair had fallen, which greatly shocked the Young Master.
With a clanging sound, the knife in the Young Master's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at the White Dragon Horse in disbelief, "Demon, demon..."
Indeed, a horse that is impervious to swords and spears, what else could it be but a demon?
"This guy is truly infuriating!" Jiang Liu and his companions looked at the Young Master with eyes full of coldness.
Although it was indeed impossible for a mortal's strength to harm the White Dragon Horse, the posture of their opponent was deeply infuriating.
"So? You have no ability to take my horse away now, is there anything else you'd like to say?" Jiang Liu stepped forward two steps with anger in his heart and spoke coldly.
"Demon, you, this horse is a demon, you, you are using this demon horse as your mount, you are also a demon monk, attack, everyone attack together, kill them!"
With Jiang Liu's words, the Young Master in shock and anger shouted loudly, summoning the surrounding guards to attack Jiang Liu.
Upon seeing the horse that remained unscathed after a slash, the guards who had been spectators were also horrified, and after glancing at each other, they each drew their swords from their waists.
"Wait, what are you doing, put your swords away!" Although the Prefectural Governor was also secretly horrified, he had seen the travel permit plaque and could confirm that Jiang Liu and his party were not demons, so he shouted for the guards to put away their swords.
Compared to the Young Master, the guards naturally listened more to the Prefectural Governor. Besides, fighting demons? They were secretly afraid, so they put their swords away.
However, the eyes staring at Jiang Liu and his party were still filled with apprehension.
"Master, it seems this horse is no ordinary steed!" Once the guards had put away their swords, the Prefectural Governor promptly said to Jiang Liu.
"Amitabha, traveling from the Great Tang to the Great Thunder Monastery, a journey of 108,000 miles, not to ntion the rugged mountains and harsh waters, there are countless demons and evil spirits along the way. Therefore, ordinary horses cannot reach the Western Heaven. This is a Dragon Horse transford by the third prince of the Western Sea Dragon King!" Jiang Liu replied upon hearing the Prefectural Governor's inquiry.
"I see, it is indeed not a demon horse but a Dragon Horse!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's explanation, the Prefectural Governor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in realization.
As the saying goes, 'Might is the deciding factor.' Whether it's a Dragon Horse or a demon horse, the fact that even the mount is impervious to swords and spears revealed to the Prefectural Governor's wife and son that Jiang Liu and his party were not to be trifled with.
Therefore, without saying much more, they all slunk away.
Regarding his wife and son's attitude of bullying the weak but fearing the strong, the Prefectural Governor sighed inwardly and shook his head quietly.
"Mage, you have co a long way as guests. It is already late, so let fulfill the duties of a host." After a brief chat, the Prefectural Governor invited Jiang Liu and his party to stay.
"Then we, master and disciples, will humbly accept your hospitality!" Jiang Liu did not refuse and nodded.
Originally intending to ponder ways to deal with the Jade Emperor, staying here was naturally the best option.
The Prefectural Governor instructed his people to prepare a vegetarian feast, and Jiang Liu and his group did not say much.
Fruits and vegetables were served, and although there was no at, from the perspective of a vegetarian al, it was quite sumptuous.
During the banquet, Jiang Liu and the Prefectural Governor of Fengxian County engaged in small talk, and while the atmosphere wasn't particularly harmonious, they managed to maintain a veneer of courtesy.
After the evening banquet ended, Jiang Liu and his party settled in under the Prefectural Governor's arrangents.
Usually, in the evening, Jiang Liu would delve into the awakening page to awaken his Silencing Zen skill. However, tonight he lay in bed pondering his next strategy.
After contemplating for half the night, a rough plan gradually beca clear in Jiang Liu's mind.
Using the tribulations from the original as a blueprint to mimic, Jiang Liu believed that he could embarrass the Jade Emperor by following suit with slight modifications.
"Hmm?" Just as Jiang Liu was contemplating his next move, he suddenly reacted, sensing soone approaching.
Spreading out his divine sense, Jiang Liu imdiately understood the situation.
The Young Master of the Prefectural Governor's family was currently dressed as a black-clad intruder, quietly and silently approaching Jiang Liu's location.
Although he believed he was treading lightly, ultimately he was just a mortal. How could he possibly escape the notice of Jiang Liu, who was in the Great Luo Golden Immortal Late Stage?
Stealthily reaching Jiang Liu's window, the Young Master then extended a bamboo tube into the room, and shortly thereafter, he blew so poison smoke inside.
After waiting for half an hour, estimating that the poison smoke had already taken effect, he took out a dagger to pry open the window and then jumped inside.
Covering his face with a mask, the Young Master of the County Magistrate swiftly moved to Jiang Liu's bedside after jumping in.
Seeing Jiang Liu had already been knocked out by the poison smoke, he tore off his mask, his face showing a cruel and angry expression. Raising the dagger in his hand, he stabbed directly towards Jiang Liu's heart.
What Monk from the Great Tang of the Eastern Land? Simply put, isn't he just an outsider?
If an outsider dies here, it's impossible for those in the Great Tang to trace it back here, right? Once killed, it's just a dead man, isn't it?
As the blade fell, the Young Master of the County Magistrate felt he had stabbed into sothing extrely tough.
Looking closer, the dagger was stuck at the opponent's chest and couldn't penetrate any further.
"What's going on!?" Seeing that Jiang Liu too possessed invulnerability to swords and guns, the expression on the face of the Young Master of the County Magistrate froze.
"Not to ntion my cultivation level as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, just this Green Lotus Buddha Robe alone is a non-saintly power that can't be broken. And a re mortal with a dagger wants to kill ?" Pretending to be unconscious, Jiang Liu naturally understood the actions of the Young Master of the County Magistrate, thinking to himself.
Just as the other party was shocked, Jiang Liu opened his eyes, staring steadily at the opponent.
"Ah!" Seeing Jiang Liu's bright eyes staring directly at him in the dark night, the Young Master of the County Magistrate shrieked in fear, took two steps back, and exclaid in terror: "You, what kind of person are you?"
"What kind of person I am, haven't you known all along? You have a ruthless heart, but your intelligence is a bit low. On my Journey to the West, I've encountered many demons and ghosts who couldn't do anything to . Yet you dare act against ? Isn't this seeking your own death?" Flipping up to sit, Jiang Liu looked at the Young Master of the County Magistrate in front of him and shook his head as he spoke.
"Master, Holy Monk, I was wrong, I apologize!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Young Master of the County Magistrate imdiately dropped the dagger in his hand to the ground, nervously and fearfully saying to Jiang Liu.
However, Jiang Liu had no intention of responding, but raised his hand, gently pointing at him.
Instant kill!
With Jiang Liu's current ans, killing a re mortal was certainly an instant kill.
At the sa ti, the sound of a system notification rang out in Jiang Liu's mind.
Notification: Kill a level 2 target, gain 4 experience points, gain 1 coin.
This system notification brought a slight smile to Jiang Liu's face. A single-digit experience point, huh? It had been many years since he last heard such a system notification.
A hurried sound of footsteps arose, evidently attracted by the Young Master of the County Magistrate's previous scream.
In no more than a cup of tea's ti, the County Magistrate, his wife, and several guards rushed into Jiang Liu's room, along with Sun Wukong and several others, making the room seem a little crowded.
"Oh my son!" Even though he was disappointed in his own son, seeing his son's corpse, the Prefectural Governor of Fengxian County wept bitterly, crying out in grief.
"Ah!" The County Magistrate's wife scread at the sight of her son's corpse, unable to accept the scene in front of her, and directly fainted with her eyes rolling back.
The nearby maidens hurriedly helped, and after a mont, managed to awaken the County Magistrate's wife.
For a while, the County Magistrate's wife was wailing and lanting.
"Demon monk, you demon monk killed my son in the middle of the night, I will kill you!" Under her imnse grief, the County Magistrate's wife shouted loudly from her mouth, at the sa ti rushing towards Jiang Liu.
Freeze!
Sun Wukong, having been instructed by Jiang Liu in advance, raised his hand with an Immobilization Spell at the sight of the County Magistrate's wife's frantic state, turning her into a wooden statue unable to move.
"Master Xuanzang, why did you do this?" The Prefectural Governor of Fengxian County, looking at Jiang Liu with anger, asked.
The enmity of killing his son naturally made him feel furious, yet he restrained his anger, fixing his gaze on Jiang Liu as he asked.
"Lord Prefectural Governor, in the dead of night, your son dressed in night travel clothes, wielding a weapon ca to assassinate but was accidentally killed by this poor monk!" Hearing the Prefectural Governor's inquiry, Jiang Liu replied.
Upon hearing Jiang Liu's response, the Prefectural Governor took a closer look and indeed, his son was dressed in night travel clothes. More importantly, this was truly the Zen Room where Master Xuanzang rested.
Yet even though his mind told him that Xuanzang was right, and reason told him that Xuanzang was not at fault, it was his son who was in the wrong...
But how could the pain of losing a son be suppressed by reason?
"Amitabha..."
Seeing the Prefectural Governor overwheld with grief, Jiang Liu chanted a Buddha's na and then spoke, "Lord Prefectural Governor, this person was accidentally killed by this poor monk, so if possible, this poor monk is willing to work with you to find a way to revive him!"
"Oh? Master, do you have a way to resurrect my son?"
