Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 279: Silver Horn Great King
"Silver Horn King! Is this Pingding Mountain?" Jiang Liu felt a slight tightness in his heart, looking at the demon creature with a silver horn on its head and holding the Purple Gold Gourd that had captured Sun Wukong. He had understood the situation.
Capable of capturing Sun Wukong with the Purple Gold Gourd and having a huge silver horn on its head, the identity of this demon creature was practically screaming.
So, this must be Pingding Mountain, right? Did Supreme Elder Lord or Tathagata directly abandon me here on Pingding Mountain?
"Master Xuanzang!"
After capturing Sun Wukong with the Purple Gold Gourd, the Silver Horn King aimed the gourd’s mouth towards Jiang Liu and called out loudly.
Jiang Liu: "..."
"Eh?" Seeing Jiang Liu unmoved and ignoring his call, the Silver Horn King was momentarily stunned and then shouted loudly again, "Master Xuanzang!?"
To the Silver Horn King’s calls, Jiang Liu naturally turned a deaf ear and ignored it.
"Hey, what’s the matter with you?"
After calling three times and seeing Jiang Liu remain unmoved, the Silver Horn King helplessly set down the Purple Gold Gourd in his hand, and said to Jiang Liu, "What’s the matter with you? Doesn’t it occur to you to respond when someone calls you? Isn’t that terribly impolite?"
"What now?" Jiang Liu’s lips twitched slightly as he looked at the Silver Horn King with an expression as if viewing a foolish landowner’s son, saying, "So, you expect me to respond just so I can be sucked into that gourd, is that it?"
"You? How did you know about the power of my gourd!?" the Silver Horn King said, taken aback and looking at Jiang Liu in surprise.
"Didn’t you just call out to Wukong, and after he responded, he was sucked in?"
Jiang Liu’s expression darkened. Really? A servant boy of Supreme Elder Lord like this? So foolish? Silly and cute?
"I just used it once, and you already figured out that this treasure of mine, requires one to respond to be captured? Clever little monk!" said the Silver Horn King, amazed.
From Jiang Liu’s perspective, as he knew the effect of the Purple Gold Gourd in advance, it was impossible for him to respond.
However, from the perspective of the Silver Horn King, just by calling Sun Wukong and having captured him with it, it was indeed smart of Master Xuanzang to instantly know that one must respond to his Purple Gold Gourd’s call to be captured.
"Well, since it’s inconvenient to proceed as planned, I’ll have to take action myself!"

Since the effect of the Purple Gold Gourd was already known to Jiang Liu, the Silver Horn King put away the gourd and without hesitation, moved swiftly towards Jiang Liu.
ID: Silver Horn King (Blue).
Gender: Male.
Profession: Demon Kind.
Level: 71.
Equipment: Purple Gold Gourd (Legendary Level): No level requirement ...
"This Silver Horn King, to also possess level 71 strength? And it’s a blue UI?" Jiang Liu inwardly marveled at the character profile of the Silver Horn King after seeing it.
However, upon further consideration, to be a boy under the Supreme Elder Lord without some capability was not possible.
Level 71, also just about stepping into the realm of Taiyi True Immortal.
In the original story, Gold-Horn King and Silver Horn King were only able to contend with Sun Wukong by relying on their Dharma Treasures, so, it always felt like their actual strength wasn’t strong.
However, that also depends on who they are compared to. A level 71 rank, not being a match for Sun Wukong, is completely within reason, right?
Moreover, Sun Wukong is also of Golden BOSS-level character profile.
"Wait a moment…" After evaluating Silver Horn King’s character profile and seeing him charge towards him, Jiang Liu raised his hand and began to speak.
"What for!?" Upon hearing this, the Silver Horn King indeed stopped, and with a fierce look on his face, he warned, "I’ll tell you, it has been a long while since I last tasted human flesh. Today, encountering such a tender and fresh little monk like you, I won’t let you go!"
"No worries, since your majesty wants to capture and eat me, I can’t resist, so I’ll just follow you willingly!" Jiang Liu waved his hand and voluntarily agreed to go with the other party.
"Ah!?" The fierce expression on Silver Horn King’s face froze for a moment, looking at Jiang Liu in disbelief.
Jiang Liu’s unconventional response totally caught the Silver Horn King off guard.
Logically, after hearing about being captured, shouldn’t this little monk be trying to flee for his life? At the very least, he should be pleading for mercy, right?
With no other choice, given his level 71 blue UI, and possessing treasures like the Purple Gold Gourd and the Seven-Star Precious Sword, Jiang Liu knew that if the Silver Horn King truly decided to capture him, he could not resist.
The difference in levels was too great, even using rule-based skills like Silencing Zen and Sheep Transformation Technique would only be a minor struggle.
Since the outcome was unavoidable, why not follow along openly and straightforwardly?
Besides, in this world of Journey to the West, wanting to die wasn’t so easy.
There wasn’t much danger originally, so he was too lazy to exert the effort to resist.
As the saying goes, life is like rape; if you can’t resist it, try to enjoy it...
"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Dilly-dallying like that? Are we going or not? Where is your cave?" Seeing Silver Horn King frozen in place, Jiang Liu urged him on.
"Oh, right, Master Xuanzang, this way please..." Snapped out of his daze by Jiang Liu’s words, Silver Horn King replied and led the way to his cave.
During the conversation, they turned around and walked towards the cave.
However, after a few steps, Silver Horn King felt something was off.
But what exactly was wrong? He couldn’t quite put his finger on it at the moment.
After shaking his head, Silver Horn King no longer cared and continued leading Jiang Liu forward. Soon, they arrived at a cave.
"Hmm? Is this your cave?" Upon reaching the demon’s cave on Pingding Mountain, Jiang Liu looked disdainfully at it and shook his head.
"What’s wrong? Is there something unsatisfactory about my cave?" Silver Horn King asked as he led Jiang Liu inside, noticing his expression.
"Well, it lacks any style!" Rubbing his eyes and adjusting to the suddenly dimmer light inside the cave, Jiang Liu commented, "The lighting here just doesn’t cut it, and it’s not ventilated well either! Feels a bit damp!"
Following behind Silver Horn King, Jiang Liu looked around the cave and commented on everything.
The way Silver Horn King walked ahead of Jiang Liu resembled a servant clearing the way for him.
It was like going to a restaurant where waiters usually bow and lead the way.
"Hold on, you go ahead…" Turning back and seeing Jiang Liu’s demeanor, realizing that he seemed reduced to a servile guide, Silver Horn King suggested.
During the conversation, Silver Horn King ended up walking behind Jiang Liu, letting him take the lead.
Jiang Liu walked leisurely, completely without the awareness of being a prisoner, instead carrying himself with hands behind his back as if inspecting his own territory.
He also looked at the few little demons inside the cave and commented, "There aren’t many little demons here in Pingding Mountain; seems like your family business isn’t up to much!"
Jiang Liu, with hands behind his back, walked leisurely and critiqued everything in the cave, while the other followed behind him as if he was just a servant.
Usually, when going out, isn’t it the master who walks in front and the servants who follow?
Silver Horn King scratched his head, feeling that something was definitely off.
Whether leading in front or following behind, both seemed somehow inappropriate.
Deep in the cave, Gold Horn King quietly sat on his throne, and just then, he heard a report from a little demon that the second king had captured Tang Monk, which made Gold Horn King burst out laughing.
It wasn’t easy; he had waited so long, but finally, they had captured Tang Monk, otherwise, who knows when it would happen.
Amidst laughter, indeed, Gold Horn King saw Jiang Liu and Silver Horn King coming his way.
However, seeing Jiang Liu’s leisurely stroll and Silver Horn King following him like a servant, Gold Horn King’s laughter stopped abruptly.
"Wait, you just said? The second king captured Tang Monk?" The laughter ceased, and Gold Horn King turned to ask a little demon beside him, "This demeanor, are you sure he was captured?"
"This, this servant doesn’t know!" On hearing this, a little demon answered with a grim face.
"Alright, you may go!" Seeing the little demon’s expression, Gold Horn King waved his hand and said.
During the conversation, he stood up and went to greet them, "Hahaha, younger brother, well done, you finally captured Tang Monk..."
"You’re Gold Horn King, right?" But before Gold Horn King could finish, Jiang Liu spoke up, his gaze landing on him.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
"Hahaha, uh..." Jiang Liu’s words took Gold Horn King aback, who then nodded and said, "Yes, indeed, I am the king. I’ve long heard that a monk from the Great Tang in Eastern Land is journeying to Western Heaven, and eating a piece of his flesh grants eternal life! Hehehe..."
"Eating his flesh grants eternal life!?" Hearing this, many little demons around him lit up their eyes, both shocked and delighted at Jiang Liu.
If that were true, it would be an immense fortune.
"Oh, I’m already here! Kill or flay, at your discretion!" Listening to Gold Horn King, Jiang Liu said calmly, without a trace of fear.
"Great King, since this little monk is so accommodating, let’s flay and boil him in a big pot first!"
As Jiang Liu finished speaking, an old demon marshal jumped out, his face lit with excitement, wielding a steel knife, eager to chop toward Jiang Liu.
With a slap!
But before the old demon’s knife could fall, suddenly his vision blurred, and then his mind went blank.
It took a while for the old demon to come to his senses, covering his swollen cheek, incredulously looking at Silver Horn King, confused.
Why would he stop him? Eating a piece of that flesh grants eternal life!
"No rush! Let’s keep him clean for a few days, then decide!" Seeing the old demon’s incredulous look, and the puzzled looks from other little demons in the cave, Silver Horn King said.
