Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 571: Jiang Liu: Did I go to the wrong place?
Jiang Liu, with furrowed brows, also felt the situation with the Demon Infant extremely thorny and didn't know what to do for the moment.
To leave her in the Women's Kingdom? Given the Demon Infant's sky-high resentment, if truly left behind, maybe the King of the Women's Kingdom would die by her hands again.
After all, the Demon Infant had already killed her once during childbirth.
But, to keep the Demon Infant by his side? That didn't seem appropriate either.
As he continued his journey to the west, he had only with great difficulty aligned Little White Dragon and Sha Wujing to his side. If the Demon Infant truly resented him, would he not be harboring a spy among them?
However, how to separate the Demon Infant from the baby girl's body? Even the Scorpion Demon, a Daluo Golden Immortal, couldn't manage it. Who then could achieve it?
Was he really supposed to directly exterminate the soul of the Demon Infant? After all, this was his child too.
As the saying goes, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs!
Tricky, the situation was indeed tricky now!
"Wukong, all of you come to the palace of the Women's Kingdom..."
After discussing with Ruyi True Immortal for a long time and finding no solution, Jiang Liu opened his friends list and sent messages to Sun Wukong and the others.
His disciples were all of extraordinary origin; did they perhaps have any solutions?
Following Jiang Liu's summons, naturally, Sun Wukong and the others, filled with curiosity, gradually made their way to the Women's Kingdom, where the master and disciples gathered once again.
"Master, why are we back here again!?" Upon arriving at the palace of the Women's Kingdom, Sun Wukong and the others asked with surprise in their tones.
Although they knew their master had been dawdling along the way to delay time, without a proper reason, was it suitable to return to the Women's Kingdom now?
"Something has come up here..." Facing his disciples, Jiang Liu's expression was somewhat awkward.
"Master, what is it? Speak up, let your disciples think of a solution!" Seeing Jiang Liu hesitant and awkward without revealing the reason, Zhu Bajie and the others grew even more curious and kept pressing Jiang Liu for answers.
"Alas, it's like this, when I was fed the Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill..."
Although he felt embarrassed discussing this in front of his disciples, since he had called them to seek their advice, Jiang Liu broke the silence after a moment and explained the whole truth to Sun Wukong and his disciples.
"The children we aborted, were they all harboring resentment and had to undergo transformation at the Immortal Gathering Hermitage?" Hearing the cause and consequences, Sha Wujing's expression grew complex, clearly an outcome none had anticipated.
"Thank goodness, all our children's resentment has been cleansed. Ruyi True Immortal, we owe you a lot of thanks indeed!" Sun Wukong nodded and spoke to Ruyi True Immortal beside him.
"Great Saint, there's no need for thanks between us, our relationship is not ordinary. It would just seem out of place!" Ruyi True Immortal shook his head in response to Sun Wukong's gratitude.
"The King of the Women's Kingdom, truly capable!" However, unlike Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie was focused on the affair between the King of the Women's Kingdom and the master.
Zhu Bajie raised his thumb and said, "Great skill, great tactics. I, Old Pig, have never admired any woman before, but this King of the Women's Kingdom truly earns my great admiration!"
"Bajie, now the child's situation is as such, do you have any ideas?" Hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Jiang Liu's face shaded darker, not wanting to discuss this matter further. He directly addressed Zhu Bajie, effectively changing the subject.
Zhu Bajie, being a direct disciple of the Human Sect with extraordinary experiences, Jiang Liu wanted to see if Zhu Bajie had any ideas.
"This matter, I, Old Pig, also do not know!" However, hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry, Zhu Bajie shook his head, helpless.
Seeing Jiang Liu's gaze fall upon him, Sun Wukong pondered and said, "Master, if you want me, Old Sun, to extinguish the soul of that Demon Infant, I am quite skilled at that, but if you want me to save someone, I, Old Sun, cannot do it."
"Master, I have no solution either!" Shaking his head, White Dragon Horse also expressed his helplessness.

"This..." However, Sha Wujing hummed, pausing without speaking for a while.
"Wujing, do you have any suggestions?" Seeing Sha Wujing's demeanor light up Jiang Liu's eyes a bit.
Although Sha Wujing's cultivation level might not be especially high, as the former General Juanlian who had served beside the Great Jade Emperor,
it would make sense for him to possess understanding beyond ordinary beings.
"This matter, Master, I think even a Daluo Golden Immortal has no ability to handle it; maybe you should try finding someone else!" However, facing Jiang Liu's inquiry, Sha Wujing did not offer a specific solution but merely suggested a non-suggestion.
"A Daluo Golden Immortal is of no use, should I seek someone else? Someone more powerful? A Quasi-Saint perhaps!?"
Sha Wujing's words slightly stirred Jiang Liu's heart.
Scorpion Demon and Sun Wukong were both of Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation level, and indeed, they found themselves unable to resolve the situation. So, should he seek the help of a Quasi-Saint?
Up to now, he had indeed encountered several Quasi-Saints.
Zen Master Wuchao, Tathagata, Ancient Randeng Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Wutian Buddha, Empress, Master Zhenyuan, and even Kunpeng...
But who could he genuinely ask for help?
After pondering silently for a moment, Jiang Liu's attention finally settled on Master Zhenyuan.
Having no other choice, Master Zhenyuan was his sworn elder brother; he might indeed be the most likely Quasi-Saint to lend a hand when asked?
"Wujing makes a good point. In that case, I will take the Demon Infant to Wuzhuang Temple to inquire," Jiang Liu said after musing for a moment and deciding to bet on Master Zhenyuan.
After saying this, Jiang Liu asked Sun Wukong and the others to wait for him in the royal palace, then he returned to the delivery room, wrapped the Demon Infant properly in baby clothes, and went straight out the door.
"Imperial Brother..."
Seeing Jiang Liu holding the Demon Infant and turning towards the door, the King of Women's Kingdom felt nervous, got down from the bed, and hesitated to speak.
"Rest assured, I am fully aware of what I'm doing!" Seeing the look on the King of Women's Kingdom, Jiang Liu guessed that she was worried about the child's safety and spoke reassuringly.
After muttering words of comfort, Jiang Liu wasted no more words, holding the Demon Infant, he left the Zen Room.
Utilizing the Art of Cloud Soaring, Jiang Liu leapt into the air and directly flew towards Wuzhuang Temple in the east.
"Hmph, I knew it…" Inside Jiang Liu's embrace, the Demon Infant coldly sneered, "You are taking me out to kill me, aren't you?"
"Why? Are you afraid of dying?" Holding the Demon Infant in his arms, Jiang Liu lowered his head to look at her and asked.
"Humph, what do I have to be afraid of! If I feared death, I wouldn't be shouting about killing you; instead, I would act docile, let you lower your guard, and when the day comes, I'd have the opportunity to kill you all!" the Demon Infant replied.
"Hmm, makes sense!" Nodding his head, Jiang Liu actually agreed with the Demon Infant's words.
At that point, Jiang Liu paused slightly before asking, "Since you know that would be the smarter strategy, why then were you screaming it out loud? Could it be that you merely talk big to scare us, but you actually never planned to kill us?"
"That's not it!" Shaking his head, Jiang Liu continued, "The King of Women's Kingdom is indeed dead by your hand, which means you really intended to kill her, so, what—you're trying to scare me, not her?"
"I'm not trying to scare you! I truly want to kill you! I just hate that I don't have the strength right now; if I did, I would kill you right this moment!" In Jiang Liu's arms, the Demon Infant's fierce and harsh voice was almost a roar.
"Alright, alright, be good, no more talk, just stay calm…"
Seeing the Demon Infant's ferocious gesture, Jiang Liu's expression was unchanging, he pushed down her hands, teasing her like one would with a mischievous baby, "Be good, no need to scream. Should I sing you a few lullabies to get you to sleep?"
"Don't want!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words about using lullabies, the Demon Infant screamed even louder.
"I had no idea, you turned out to be a tsundere baby. Quite adorable!" Seeing the Demon Infant screaming, Jiang Liu said with a slight smile.
"I am going to kill you! I will definitely kill you!" Overwhelmed by Jiang Liu's demeanor, the Demon Infant couldn't bear it and screamed out loud again.
"Alright, alright, I get it. If you can manage to kill me in the future, it will be a credit to your cleverness," Patting the Demon Infant's back, Jiang Liu spoke nonchalantly and without anger.
Clearly, as for those death threats spewed from the Demon Infant, Jiang Liu wasn't taking them to heart.
"The future? You are taking me to be killed right now, right? Do I even have a future?" Her voice filled with derision, the Demon Infant sneered.
"Whether I am taking you to be killed or not, you will find out soon enough!" Responding to the Demon Infant's sneer, Jiang Liu merely smiled and offered no explanation.
...
The father and daughter soared through the clouds to the east, bickering along the way, and soon Jiang Liu was already above Wuzhuang Temple.
It must be said, Wuzhuang Temple was still magnificent, a treasure land of immortals.
Unlike the previous quiet, the temple was buzzing with voices this time, lively beyond compare.
However, gazing down at Wuzhuang Temple from above, Jiang Liu's lips twitched slightly.
Because in the open ground of Wuzhuang Temple, there were many tables set up, and astonishingly, numerous Taoist Boys were playing mahjong?
"Did I, did I go to the wrong place?"
