Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Sha Wujing slowly opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time, looking around to find himself in a dimly lit cave.

He shook his head, and his memories slowly became clear.

He had been severely injured and had passed out under the pursuit of two Heavenly Generals, which made Sha Wujing shake his head, feeling that his current situation had developed into an incredibly miserable state, even more miserable than his time in Liusha River.

After all, back in Liusha River, he had been quite a dominant force.

Originally, Sha Wujing was not afraid of two Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but, fearful of exposing his identity and even hesitant to use his own weapon, he was completely unmatched against the two of them.

Fighting and retreating, he finally forcefully struck back, injuring both Heavenly Generals severely, but similarly, he was badly hurt.

"Hey, are you awake? What's your name?"

As Sha Wujing opened his eyes, pondering his current predicament and feeling that life was enveloped in darkness, suddenly, a clear voice rang out beside him.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a woman dressed in coarse clothes standing before him, sporting a pair of horns on her head. She wasn't particularly beautiful, just ordinary, with even some freckles visible on her face, but her eyes curiously surveyed Sha Wujing.

"My name is, my name is Liusha…" Sha Wujing hesitated slightly before responding.

He then asked, "Miss, was it you who saved me? Thank you for your lifesaving grace!"

"It's nothing, just a lift of a hand!" The woman shook her head, looked at Sha Wujing, and after a slight pause, asked, "Why did you end up in the water? Did something happen to you?"

"Yes, I am being pursued. You know, there's always someone who likes to engage in Subduing Demons and Eliminating Evil, I, sigh…"

Speaking of his situation and thinking of being chased by two Heavenly Generals, Sha Wujing sighed deeply, shaking his head helplessly.

"So that's it!" Hearing Sha Wujing's response, the female demon nodded slightly in understanding.

Being of the Demon Kind, she naturally understood the plight of the Demon Clan. On the surface, the Human Clan feared the Demon Kind, but those who were afraid were just ordinary humans. Many humans engaged in cultivation liked engaging in the deeds of Subduing Demons and Eliminating Evil, even living in seclusion deep in the mountains to avoid other humans.

"By the way, may I know how to address you, young lady?" Sha Wujing asked, considering that she had saved him from the river.

"Oh, everyone calls me Amei, you can call me that too!" Upon hearing Sha Wujing's words, the female demon said somewhat embarrassedly and shyly, as if she didn't have a formal name.

"Amei? It sounds endearing…" Murmuring the name quietly, Sha Wujing nodded and said.

"Hey, Amei? Where have you disappeared to!?" Just then, a commotion erupted outside the cave, loudly calling out.

"Ah!" Hearing this voice, Amei's face changed, and she quickly told Sha Wujing not to make a sound before rushing out of the cave.

Outside the cave, a robust Wolf Demon stood upright, transformed into a walking grey wolf, and scolded, "The Great King kindly took you in, having you work properly, yet you stealthily hid away?"

"Wolf Vanguard, I, I wasn't slacking off, I…" Amei quickly knelt down, trembling in fear as she spoke.

"Still trying to argue? I saw the clothes you discarded by the riverbank. You weren't back for a good quarter of an hour!"

With a smack, he drew out his Wolf Tail Whip, the Wolf Demon angrily scolded her and then, without any courtesy, lashed out with three severe strikes on Amei, causing her to scream in pain.

Inside the cave, although Sha Wujing did not know what exactly was happening, the screams from outside prompted him to come out. Seeing Amei being whipped to the ground, her skin split open in several places, he couldn't help but cry out.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Sha Wujing emerge from the cave, the Wolf Demon laughed mockingly, pointing at him and saying, "I wondered why this wretch hid in the cave for so long, turns out, you've learned to sneak away with a lover, huh? Hahaha!"

Though Sha Wujing was tall and intimidating, standing over three meters high with a fearsome appearance, in the view of the Wolf Demon, anyone who mixed with a wretch like Amei couldn't be a formidable character, just a tall figure to scare people.

"No, I didn't…" Hearing the Wolf Demon's mockery, Amei, lying on the ground, replied with a flushed face, denying it.

"Oh, still want to talk back to me!? Let's see if I don't properly teach you a lesson today!" With Amei fighting back, the Wolf Demon's eyes bulged, and he raised his whip again.

However, this time, Sha Wujing quickly grabbed the opponent's wrist and, with a forceful push, flung the Wolf Demon flying out.

With a bang, the Wolf Demon landed on the ground, even smashing a large rock and involuntarily letting out a scream of pain. Frightened by the sight of Sha Wujing, he dared not continue the fight and fled with his tail between his legs, like a beaten dog.

"Cough, cough, cough..." After throwing the Wolf Demon out, Sha Wujing couldn't help but cough twice, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

His injuries were very severe at the moment.

Feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart, the master seemed to possess a kind of red potion, a healing elixir. However, throughout the journey, when they encountered powerful demon creatures, it was always the eldest and second senior brothers who took action, and he himself had no achievements. Thus, he didn't have the potion. Otherwise, at this moment...

"Ah, you, why did you attack? That Wolf Vanguard is not simple!" Amei, standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise as she saw Wujing actually fight and fend off the Wolf Vanguard.

"Amei, who exactly are you?" Taking a deep breath to suppress the injuries inside his body, Wujing looked at Amei with some astonishment and asked.

"That Wolf Demon just now was merely a Demon Soldier, but looking at you, you can almost transform into human form. Judging by the situation, you should be a Demon Marshal, right?"

Wujing indeed felt surprised, as Amei looked almost indistinguishable from a human, save for a pair of horns on her head. Yet, she was bullied by just a mere Demon Soldier?

"I, I am just the lowest Little Demon…" Hearing Wujing's question, Amei lowered her head and said softly.

"The lowest Little Demon? Then why can you transform into a human form? What is your true form?" Wujing grew even more astonished. The lowest Little Demon? Isn't that just a demon? Yet she can transform?

"I, this is not transformation. I was just born this way!" Hanging her head, Amei said in a somewhat embarrassed and timid voice.

"My father is an Ox Demon of the Hundred Beasts Mountain, a Demon Marshal under Eldest King, but my mother was a human woman he captured. I am a Half-Human Half-Demon, and I have looked this way since birth. Ever since my parents died ten years ago, I, I just…" With her head bowed, Amei briefly outlined her background.

"Half-Demon!?" Realization dawned upon Wujing upon hearing this.

The existence of a Half-Human Half-Demon, no wonder she was born looking like this. Such an existence, caught between the cracks of Human Clan and Demon Clan, neither accepted by the humans nor the demons.

If she had a father of the Demon Marshal rank, it might have been better, but, with even her father dead for ten years, living here in the lands of the Demon Clan, naturally the days were not easy…

"You, you better leave quickly. Although that Wolf Vanguard is only a Demon Soldier, his father is one of the top three kings of the Hundred Beasts Mountain!" Perhaps genuinely concerned for Wujing's safety, or perhaps unwilling to dwell further on her own origins, Amei hastily said to Wujing.

"Amei, let me ask you, why are you so kind to me since we just met by chance?" Instead of hastening to flee, Wujing curiously looked at Amei and asked.

"Because, because you're the only one who has ever said my name in a kinder way!" Amei replied.

For Amei, who had always been bullied, receiving even slightly equal treatment from someone was deeply moving.

"But if I leave, what will you do? They'll probably beat you at least, won't they?" Wujing thought for a moment and then asked.

"I…" Thinking about what might happen to her after Wujing left and the Wolf Vanguard and his men returned, Amei trembled slightly, fear in her heart.

She hung her head and said, "I, I'm used to being beaten anyway. You, you better run quickly. I see you are from the Demon Clan, trespassing on Hundred Beasts Mountain, they will kill you!"

"Then I definitely cannot leave!" Hearing Amei's words, Wujing shook his head, his expression resolute.

Shortly, a flurry of rapid footsteps sounded, and immediately, a group of Wolf Demons appeared, surrounding both Wujing and Amei.

At the same time, a gaunt old man, leaning on a cane, walked over.

"One of the top three kings!" Seeing the old man walking out with a cane, Amei's face changed color, and she quickly knelt down, prostrating herself on the ground.

However, the old man paid no attention to Amei and instead fixed his gaze on Wujing, asking, "Friend, where are you from? What brings you to my Hundred Beasts Mountain?"

"I'm just passing through here!" Looking at the old man, who had completely transformed into a human form, he must be at least at the Demon King Level.

Moreover, one of the top three kings? That also means there's still the Eldest King and the second king?

Wujing, severely injured, did not wish to engage with the group of demons and thus replied calmly.

"Passing through? So, where are you headed?" After a brief pause of silence, the old man continued to inquire.

"This…" Hearing this, Wujing hesitated for a moment, somewhat at a loss for an answer.

Where was he actually headed? He hadn't really thought it through.

"Seeing you appear as a demon, may I ask what your cultivation level is?" Observing Wujing's appearance, the third King continued to inquire.

"I, I am a Demon Marshal," Wujing paused slightly before answering the third king.

"Hmm, since you have no place to go, why not stay at my Hundred Beasts Mountain?" Hearing Wujing's response, the third king's eyes lit up slightly as he asked.

A Demon Marshal? And an injured one at that?

Wouldn't it add some strength to have him under his command?
