I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Li Chen walked forward and looked at the unconscious man lying on the ground. He was a man with a strong crown and curly beard, and he was extraordinary and heroic. He was obviously not an ordinary person. He was wearing an ochre-yellow silk robe with nine golden dragons on it! He wore an elegant crown on his head and a belt inlaid with beautiful jade around his waist. His face looked very kind, but at the same time, it was filled with an inexplicable majesty!

He seemed to emanate an extremely powerful dragon aura, which made people dare not blaspheme. Li Chen already had a rough idea of ​​who this person was.

Li Chen injected his own power into his body to help him heal his injuries. There was still some time before he woke up, and Li Chen planned to absorb the spirit of the ancestor witch to enhance his own strength so as to cope with the next challenge!

Li Chen sat cross-legged in front of the Ancestral Witch's spirit, intending to absorb the power of the Golden Ancestral Witch to strengthen himself! This Golden Ancestral Witch's power was indeed a superior tonic! Li Chen could clearly feel that the wounds on his body from the battle were healing. With the help of the Ancestral Witch's spirit, he became more solid and stable, and his own strength began to grow stronger and stronger!

"Ah! It hurts so much!"

Li Chen suddenly felt a horrifying pain coming from his body and hurriedly stopped absorbing the spirit of the ancestor witch. Feeling the pain coming from his body, Li Chen couldn't help but gasp for air.

Rushou, the ancestor of gold, is indeed a great god from ancient times. The power of this ancestor's spirit is indeed very strong! With Li Chen's current strength, he cannot fully absorb this power and use it for his own benefit!

"Where is this place? Wasn't I just swallowed by that evil god? Who are you? Why are you here beside me?"

Hearing this voice, Li Chen couldn't help but shudder with fear. This voice was full of domineering power, with a majesty that no one dared to blaspheme easily. Li Chen turned and looked behind him. The person who came out of the body of the Golden Ancestral Witch had woken up and looked around in confusion.

"Before you ask someone's name, can you please tell me who you are?"

Li Chen looked at him and said indifferently.

"I am Li Shimin! Where is this place? Who are you?"

Li Shimin continued to ask questions to Li Chen, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, as if in the next second, if Li Chen showed any hostility towards him, he would draw the sword without hesitation and kill Li Chen!

"Are you His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Your Majesty is sorry to have frightened you. I have just eliminated the Ancestral Witch of Gold. Chang'an City should be safe now!" Li Chen explained to Li Shimin that he had eliminated the Ancestral Witch of Gold and was safe in Chang'an City.

After hearing the details of how Li Chen had slain the Ancestral Witch of Gold, Li Shimin hurriedly bowed to Li Chen and asked devoutly, "So you are the unrivaled hero who slew that evil god! I apologize for being rude and not asking for your name!"

"My last name is Li Chen. I just came to Chang'an City to see the scenery. I saw injustice and helped it!" Li Chen answered loudly.

"Brother, so your last name is Li. Maybe you and I were a family hundreds of years ago!" Li Shimin said with a smile and then patted Li Chen's shoulder gently.

As the two were chatting happily, a large amount of dust suddenly rose in the distance, and in the dust, a large group of people were approaching. Li Chen stepped forward and protected Li Shimin behind him, then took out the Jiutian Staff from his backpack and prepared to fight!

In Li Chen's eyes, this large group of people is most likely a dying counterattack by the remnants of the Jin Zuwu. He must protect Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin!

A large group of people were getting closer and closer to Li Chen and Emperor Taizong of Tang. Only then did Li Chen and Emperor Taizong of Tang see clearly that they were not monsters, but an army that came to guard Chang'an and slay monsters to protect the emperor!

"Your Majesty! Please forgive us for being so late in coming to your rescue!"

The leading general hurriedly dismounted and knelt on one knee respectfully to apologize to Emperor Taizong. The soldiers behind him also knelt on one knee in unison to apologize to Emperor Taizong.

"What crime have you committed, my dear ministers? This demon is extremely powerful. If it weren't for the help of this heroic warrior, I would have been injured and killed!" Li Shimin told the soldiers about the terrible scene when the Ancestor Witch of Gold led the demons to attack Chang'an, and introduced Li Chen and his great feat of killing the Ancestor Witch of Gold to everyone.

"This extraordinary hero, please come back to Chang'an with me, and I will reward you handsomely!" Li Shimin said excitedly as he was about to kneel down and ask Li Chen to return to Chang'an with him. However, Li Chen did not dare to accept such a great gift. He helped Li Shimin up with both hands, but suddenly heard the voice of the system in his ears.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the 'Gold Covering Chang'an' mission and successfully killing the Golden Ancestral Witch! Received as a reward a pet evolution inner elixir and a top-quality mount training gift pack! Also, 30 resurrection pills and 30 level 4 enhancement stones!"

Listening to the system's prompt, Li Chen was confused. When did he trigger the task?

"Because the Golden Ancestral Witch was attacking urgently when the quest was triggered, to prevent the host from being distracted by the quest or the quest reward, this system temporarily secretly recorded this quest. Now that the host has completed the quest, the quest reward will be automatically issued!"

Listening to the system's explanation, Li Chen suddenly remembered that he hadn't chosen a top-quality mount that he liked yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a place to use this top-quality mount training gift pack!

Just as Li Chen was still pondering what kind of premium mount he should choose, he was about to open the Premium Mount Gift Pack to see what was available. Just as he was about to check it out through the system space, Li Chen's body was suddenly lifted high up and thrown into the air. Li Chen had been contemplating the mount and had completely ignored his surroundings. Now, seeing himself being suddenly thrown into the air, he quickly reacted and assumed a fighting stance, ready to meet the enemy!

Li Chen thought that there was another demon attack. Just as he was about to fight back, he saw that the people who threw him into the air were actually soldiers who came to protect Chang'an City!

The soldiers couldn't hide their excitement on their faces, because Chang'an City was more than just a city; their parents, wives, and daughters were all in this city! They had heard that a group of vicious demons and monsters had taken over Chang'an City, killing innocent people and imprisoning the emperor, so they rushed back in a hurry!

Upon returning, they learned that the demon had been subdued by a young man, and naturally they were overjoyed! But when they went into the city to see their families, some were happy, some were sad! Some smiled, some wept bitterly! Some families of soldiers had all five of their members killed by the demon! Others had only minor injuries, and could recover in a few days!

The joyful voices of reuniting with surviving relatives and the cries of grief of discovering that the entire family had been slaughtered by demons continued to echo over the sky of Chang'an City!

"Without Tang Monk and his disciples, it seems that I can only rely on myself! I will never let the tragedy happen again!" Li Chen thought to himself. He clenched his fists and was determined to eliminate these demons as soon as possible!

After returning to the palace, Li Shimin ordered that all the victims in the country be buried with honor. At the same time, he ordered a three-day fast and appointed a monk to chant sutras at the Da Ci'en Temple to pray for the souls of the victims!
