Traveling Through Journey to the West: I Am the Dragon King

After hearing Yun Chonghua's words, Huang Mei was first taken aback, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Huang Mei laughed, "Boy! Are you still half asleep? How dare you speak so arrogantly! I was defeated by you today only because I couldn't defeat the magic weapon you possess. Jin Chanzi is the second disciple of the World Honored One. Even if you are a celestial immortal, you are probably no match for Jin Chanzi."

"Jin Chanzi has already apologized to you today and promised to clean up the mess for me. When we return to Mount Ling, the Buddhist precepts will punish us. You little thief, why are you still so relentless! Could it be that you are using this as an excuse to extort some 'favors'?"

Yun Chonghua wasn't angry after hearing Huang Mei's words, because he was right.

Although Yun Chonghua has magical treasures protecting him and his own extraordinary abilities, he is probably still a bit short of the skill level to face Jin Chanzi.

After all, Elder Jin Chan was the second disciple of the Buddha Tathagata, and even Zhenyuan Daxian, the ancestor of earth immortals, treated him with great respect.

Even though Tang Sanzang had been reincarnated for ten times, he still thought of sending him two ginseng fruits as a gift.

Regardless of whether Zhen Yuanzi is respecting himself or the Buddha behind him, one thing is certain: such a figure is probably beyond my current ability to defeat.

Now that he sees Jin Chanzi descending to earth to protect Huang Mei, he's in a bit of a bind.

Yun Chonghua pondered, "We were careless this time. We only encountered Huang Mei before, but we didn't expect to involve Jin Chanzi as well. No wonder the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld dare not interfere even when they are bullied."

"It wouldn't be wise to let this go so easily. Huang Mei has suffered such a great loss; what if he comes after me later? After all, quite a few people know I've come to exorcise demons. If any of those ghost immortals, or the Dragon King's uncle and nephew, let them keep quiet, things will get complicated. If I really let them go, I'm afraid I'll have to take responsibility if anyone investigates later."

"The White Crane Fairy repeatedly warned me not to associate with other factions. Now I wonder if the Western Sect is among those forbidden. If I secretly collude with these people, I fear I will lose His Majesty and the Empress's trust. My current glory comes entirely from His Majesty and the Empress. Alas! I must be extremely careful!"

Yun Chonghua quickly came up with an idea: "The best course of action now is to make a big scene. After all, I'm still in the right. Huang Mei's behavior of being idle and doing nothing is indeed a violation of the Heavenly Laws. My actions against them are aboveboard and just. It's a matter of upholding justice and eliminating demons. If this matter is simply swept under the rug, and old grievances are brought up later, I won't be able to clear my name. After all, it's better to catch them in the act now than to rely on one side's story."

"Fine! Let's make this a big deal. Once someone comes down from the sky, they can absolve me of responsibility. Besides, it'll teach these Westerners a lesson. They can run wild in their own West Niu He Zhou, their own territory. Don't come to my Eastern Divine Continent to act recklessly!"

After making up his mind, Yun Chonghua looked at Huang Mei and smiled, "Personnel? I'll be grateful if you don't ask me for personnel; I don't expect you to give them to me. Besides, whether I can win or not, we'll only know after we try. Your golden body and immobilization technique just now were indeed impressive. But you didn't see all of my abilities."

After Yun Chonghua finished speaking, he chanted an incantation and made hand gestures.

After blowing three times, he blew on the two of them.

Then, a powerful divine wind of Samadhi blew out from Yun Chonghua's mouth. In an instant, the sea waves surged and the floating clouds dispersed.

The gale, carrying seawater, pounded directly onto Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei.

Although Jin Chanzi could tell that Yun Chonghua was a Dragon Lord, he never expected that he could unleash such a powerful, all-encompassing Samadhi Divine Wind. Caught off guard, he fell into Yun Chonghua's trap.

All things in nature have their own characteristics.

Yun Chonghua's divine wind was so powerful that even Jin Chanzi could only passively parry it. He protected himself with his six-winged golden body, but he couldn't care less about Huang Mei beside him.

Seeing this, Huang Mei quickly hid behind Jin Chanzi and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! It's that thieving rat's Samadhi Divine Wind! Although this kid's wind isn't as fierce as that thieving rat's, neither you nor I have the wind-fixing magic weapon of Bodhisattva Lingji. Although he can't defeat you, we can't do anything to him for the time being. It seems that the immortals of the Southern Continent aren't all cowardly officials and greedy villains who bully the weak and fear the strong."

"This divine wind can darken the heavens and earth, and cause even ghosts and gods to grieve. If it truly alarms the Heavenly Court and attracts the attention of Master and the World Honored One, it will be disrespectful to everyone. This kid also possesses a magical treasure that allows him to fly no slower than the Roc. Being entangled with him is truly unlucky. What should we do now?"

While Huang Mei and Jin Chanzi were discussing the matter, Yun Chonghua was also feeling a bit apprehensive.

Without his treasure, Huang Mei is nothing more than a brute with nothing but bravery. As long as I use my speed and avoid getting entangled with him, he will be defeated in no time.

However, the Golden Cicada before him posed a significant challenge for Yun Chonghua. Even after unleashing his trump card, the Samadhi Divine Wind, he could only suppress him.

But it's unclear whether Jin Chanzi was deliberately feigning weakness, or whether Yun Chonghua's divine wind was truly formidable.

After Yun Chonghua finished blowing his Samadhi Divine Wind, the barrier of golden light with Jin Chanzi's six wings was also shattered.

Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei were both driven back.

Seeing that his move had actually broken through Jin Chanzi's defense, Yun Chonghua laughed and said, "Hehe! It seems that the dignified Elder Jin Chanzi is nothing special after all."

After regaining his footing, Jin Chanzi plucked the prayer beads in his hand and replied, "Amitabha, the Divine Lord is truly extraordinary. It is truly remarkable that the Divine Lord, being a scaled insect, has cultivated this Samadhi Divine Wind to such a level."

"This humble monk has no intention of being an enemy of the Divine Lord. The fault in this matter lies entirely with this humble monk and Huang Mei. This humble monk will do his best to handle the aftermath. However, if this matter truly escalates to the Heavenly Court, I fear that everyone will lose face. Even if we disregard the monk's reputation, we hope that the Divine Lord can grant us a favor out of respect for our master, the Tathagata Buddha. In the future, our Vulture Peak will certainly open the door of convenience for the Divine Lord."

Jin Chanzi's words showed that he wasn't afraid of being punished himself, but rather that his and Huang Mei's actions would bring shame upon the entire Ling Mountain.

If they had truly ascended to heaven, the Great Celestial Venerable would not be the only one to adjudicate this matter.

Another force that has consistently opposed the eastward spread of Buddhism will certainly seize this opportunity. After all, they don't want the influence of Western religions to extend into China.

His arrival in this Eastern Land with Huang Mei was also to pave the way for the spread of Buddhist scriptures in the Eastern Land hundreds of years later.

However, Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei had different philosophies and different methods of testing mortals, which led to their disagreement.

Huang Mei was highly competitive and also desired the great merit of spreading the scriptures to the East. This led to all these absurd incidents.

Back at Mount Ling, he and Huang Mei didn't care what punishment they received. But if they hindered the great cause of spreading Buddhism eastward, even if their souls were banished to the Netherworld, they would still be held responsible.

Therefore, Jin Chanzi, facing Yun Chonghua's provocation, had no choice but to back down and plead with him to show mercy.

Upon hearing Jin Chanzi's words, Yun Chonghua burst into laughter. He chuckled, "Hahaha, I never expected the dignified Elder Jin Chanzi to be so impure, even resorting to petty tricks! But you don't need to intimidate me with the Buddha. He's currently far away at the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Ling in the Western Paradise. Besides, if he were to find out about this, he probably wouldn't tolerate you. If you wish to leave, it's simple—just ask the halberd in my hand!"

Seeing Yun Chonghua's "aggressive" attitude, Jin Chanzi shook his head helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then this humble monk will have to offend you. However, this humble monk has no intention of making an enemy of the Divine Lord; I just want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Immediately, the Buddhist beads in Jin Chanzi's hand transformed into a nine-ringed staff. A brocade kasaya appeared on his body, and a Vairocana hat appeared on his head.

At this moment, his appearance was no different from that of Tang Sanzang, who had reincarnated ten times. However, compared to the old monk with mortal eyes, the Golden Cicada before him was even more radiant.

Upon seeing the brocade robe, Huang Mei's face was full of helplessness and resentment.
