Black Journey to the West: The Imposter Star Lord

Chapter 13: Haotian Gold Medal

Supernatural!

Bai Yao was secretly surprised. He had actually comprehended a divine power? It seemed that this kid had quite a few secrets.

Bai Yao turned to look at Bixia, who was lying on the ground: "Where is he hiding?"

Bixia shook her head weakly.

waste!

Bai Yao took a deep breath, her brows relaxed, and she softened her tone, saying, "Child, don't hide, come out. Fifth Sister won't harm you."

However, after speaking for a moment, there was no response from Cao Xing.

"Don't think you can get away with hiding. The inner core is not something you can take. Give me the inner core, and from now on you go your way and I'll go my way. We'll go our separate ways. But if you're not willing to hand it over, then don't blame Fifth Sister for being ruthless."

After Bai Yao finished speaking, the surroundings remained eerily quiet.

Cao Xing seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Seeing that Cao Xing still refused to come out, Bai Yao really didn't have any good ideas. Although she had a discerning eye and could judge people and things, she didn't have the ability to see through supernatural powers.

However, this was no challenge for Bai Yao.

She was certain that Cao Xing hadn't left the alchemy room. As long as he hadn't left, everything would be fine.

Bai Yao walked unhurriedly to the alchemy furnace, picked up her lapis lazuli scepter, and put it back into the cloth bag at her waist.

He turned around, grabbed the firewood from the alchemy furnace, and gently blew on it a few times, igniting the firewood.

"Child, you certainly don't know the identity of the Yellow Robe Monster." Bai Yao strolled leisurely through the alchemy room. "He is Kui Mulang, one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, a righteous god of the Heavenly Court."

At this point, Bai Yao squinted her eyes and held the torch in her hand to heat the objects around her.

Seeing that the objects had not changed, Bai Yao continued walking forward.

Shocking, isn't it!

"You are the son of a god, a half-human, half-divine being. Don't be too happy yet. Kui Mulang descended to the mortal realm without permission, and you are his illegitimate son. Being half-human and half-divine is a major taboo in Heaven, and Heaven will not tolerate you."

"You say the Heavenly Court can't tolerate you? Where else in the world can tolerate you?"

Bai Yao aimed the torch at the medicine cabinet next to her. The torch swept across the cabinet, and the flames quickly ignited the entire cabinet.

"Although you were lucky enough to obtain supernatural powers, without the support of cultivation, your transformed objects cannot be large, and your transformed forms cannot be small. They are just medium-sized objects, and there aren't many of them here."

After saying that, Bai Yao suddenly pointed the torch in her hand at the medicine cabinet next to her. She poked at the medicine cabinet with the torch for a while, causing sparks to fly everywhere, until the medicine cabinet was on fire, and then she stopped.

Seeing that Cao Xing still hadn't come out, Bai Yao completely lost her patience: "Hmph, let's see how long you can hold out!"

As he spoke, he raised the torch in his hand to his lips and blew on it gently.

"call!!"

A ball of fire flew out, and in an instant, the entire alchemy room was engulfed in flames.

"Crack!!"

The burning herbs emitted a pungent, thick smoke that quickly filled the cave, causing the temperature inside the alchemy chamber to rise continuously.

"mother!"

Bixia struggled to her feet in terror, ignoring the excruciating pain in her ribs, and rushed over to grab Bai Yao's sleeve: "Please spare my brother, Mother! I beg you..."

Bai Yao paused slightly as her daughter pulled her, then looked down into Bixia's eyes. There was an almost invisible golden ring in the emerald pupils, a bloodline potential that even she didn't possess. This only made Bai Yao feel more disgusted.

"Get out of here!"

A slap landed on Bixia's face, knocking her to the ground. Then, a kick landed on her head, knocking her unconscious with a loud "bang!"

It seemed that this was far from enough to vent Bai Yao's anger, so she kicked out again, sending Bixia flying like a sandbag until she crashed into the yellow-robed monster.

Looking at the father and daughter on the ground, Bai Yao said sarcastically, "Perfect, let's burn them both to ashes."

Just as she finished speaking, Bai Yao suddenly sensed something and turned around sharply to look at the medicine cabinet behind her that had already been set on fire.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a dark figure leaped up from the firelight.

However, just as Cao Xing leaped into the air, he felt his body suddenly lighten. The next second, a hand grabbed his collar, lifting him into the air like a chicken.

Bai Yao held Cao Xing up, staring at his fur coat, and suddenly realized: "This fur is not afraid of fire, but it can't withstand heat. Otherwise, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to find you."

Cao Xing's face was grim. Just as Bai Yao had said, he was actually hiding next to the medicine cabinet, and the animal skin on his body was indeed not afraid of being burned.

But the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the temperature became too high, which Cao Xing could no longer bear. He moved his body slightly, but he did not expect that such an inconspicuous little movement would be noticed by Bai Yao. It was too late to run away.

"Fifth Sister, I've hidden the inner core. I'll take you to get it."

Cao Xing, who was being held in mid-air by Bai Yao, surrendered without the slightest hesitation.

This attitude, however, made Bai Yao suspicious.

Cao Xing lowered his head and said cautiously, "Fifth Sister, please don't look at me like that. How could I carry something as important as the inner core on my person? I've hidden it. If you let me go, Fifth Sister, I'll give it to you."

Bai Yao snorted coldly and pinched Cao Xing's cheek with her fingers: "You're quite sensible, aren't you?"

"Yes, yes, I'm not one to take a beating. Rather than suffer this physical pain, I'd rather offer the things to you willingly, just beg you to spare my life. Even if it's just to let me follow you and serve you in the future, that would be fine too."

Cao Xing's attitude became increasingly humble, but Bai Yao disliked it, feeling that Cao Xing's actions were too slick.

This kid is no fool at all; he's incredibly shrewd.

But such a shrewd person was found in a fool. What was the reason behind this? Although Bai Yao did not understand the mystery, it did not stop her from killing him to silence him.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Bai Yao smiled and gently poked Cao Xing's head with her finger: "You little rascal, you're quite clever, but I still prefer to see you looking a bit silly."

After saying that, Bai Yao narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's go, take me to get the inner core."

"etc!"

Cao Xing pointed to the corpse of the yellow-robed monster next to him: "Fifth Sister, that yellow-robed monster is hiding a treasure on his body. If we're going to leave, we should take the treasure first."

"baby?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly just now. That golden light blew up the gate, and Third Sister and Fourth Sister were killed by the golden light. Then that thing returned to the Yellow Robe Monster."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's words, Bai Yao was immediately intrigued.

She knew that the Yellow Robe Monster was cunning and must have a backup plan, so when she urged her sisters to take action, she hid behind and observed the situation.

As a result, they were all terrified by the golden light. If it weren't for the violent coughing of the yellow-robed monster coming from the alchemy room, she probably wouldn't have dared to come in rashly.

Hearing that it was actually a treasure, Bai Yao couldn't help but be tempted. Her emerald eyes gleamed with a dark light, and she could tell that what Cao Xing said was true.

Is there really a treasure?

Bai Yao was deeply moved, but she didn't forget to warn Cao Xing.

"Don't even think about escaping in the chaos. If I want to catch you, you won't be able to get away. And then..."

"Don't worry, Fifth Sister, I won't go anywhere."

Cao Xing immediately said that he would stand there obediently.

"Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you."

Bai Yao turned around and walked to the corpse of the Yellow Robe Monster. Looking at the corpse, Bai Yao couldn't help but feel uneasy again.

Ultimately, even a dead tiger cannot diminish its might; the fear of the Yellow Robe Monster was deeply ingrained in Bai Yao's bones.

"Fifth Sister!!"

Just then, Bai Yao heard Cao Xing shouting behind her.

"Fifth Sister, be careful! This Yellow Robe Monster is full of tricks. Smash his head first, then he won't be able to cause any more trouble."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's reminder, Bai Yao's eyes lit up: "This new brain is really useful."

Bai Yao took out a dagger, aimed it at the yellow-robed monster's head, and with a flash of golden light, the dagger severed the monster's head.

Blood gushed out instantly, and the dark red blood quickly stained the ground red.

Could he really be dead?

Upon seeing this, Cao Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

The reason he revealed the treasure and urged Bai Yao to take action was because he felt the Yellow Robe Monster died too quickly.

Even without his inner core, and despite being poisoned and injured, how could he possibly escape from Sun Wukong's clutches with just that much skill?

In the original story, when Sun Wukong encountered the Yellow Robe Monster, he had not yet truly grown into the beloved senior disciple; he was just a mischievous monkey.

When it comes to a fight, he's truly capable of killing.

If the Yellow Robe Monster could escape from Sun Wukong's clutches, how could he possibly die at the hands of Bai Yao, this little demon?

But seeing that the head had been cut off, the Yellow Robe Monster didn't make a sound at all, which made Cao Xing wonder if it was his fault that triggered the butterfly effect.

No, Old Deng, is that all you're going to do?

You can jump around a couple of times, okay?

Damn it, how am I supposed to deal with this woman??

As Cao Xing grew anxious, his peripheral vision suddenly focused on the ground. He saw that the array pattern outlined in blood on the ground had begun to flicker and dim.

Hmm, something's definitely fishy. I knew this old Deng wouldn't be easy to deal with.

Seeing this, Cao Xing silently took two steps back.

Now that she knew the Yellow Robe Monster was dead, Bai Yao's attention was entirely on the monster's corpse, and she didn't notice the abnormality under her feet at all.

Suddenly, Bai Yao felt something and pulled it hard.

A gold medal appeared in his hand.

The gold medal shimmered with a pale golden light, its edges inlaid with fine cloud patterns. In the center of the medal, a majestic auspicious beast stood proudly in relief, while the other side bore the four large characters "Haotian Shangdi" (meaning "God of Heaven").
