Chapter 121 My Elder Brother Appeared
Inside Wolong Mountain Villa, two mausoleums are built against the mountain.
A woman dressed in simple clothes held wildflowers she had just picked from the back mountain. Tears silently streamed down her face, dripping onto the bluestone slab and leaving only faint circles of marks.
This woman was Li Muling.
Six months ago, Li Guangling, through various inquiries, confirmed that Kongming and Zhao Yun met a tragic end after venturing into the Desert of Death, with no trace of their bodies.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, making Li Muling, who was already immersed in grief, feel even more heartbroken.
Afterwards, she erected this cenotaph for Kongming and the other man to express the unspeakable sorrow deep in her heart.
Every morning, she would come here to decorate the tomb with the freshest flowers and say things she had never dared to say before.
Beside the tomb, a plum tree stands tall, seemingly silently guarding this deep affection, witnessing the passage of time and the unchanging longing.
"You damned pig demon, if you dare to run again, I'll slaughter you!"
A loud shout rang out, followed by a pig-like scream.
Li Muling was already used to this, but she immediately put down the wildflowers in her hand and ran towards the manor...
After hearing that Kongming and Zhao Yun had died, Zhu Ganglie had long harbored the idea of going down the mountain to enjoy a life of luxury.
After all, he's quite wealthy now, with 100,000 gold notes in his pocket. Where can't he have a good time? Why stay on this godforsaken mountain?
Later, the group of cultivators who were monitoring Li Muling accidentally discovered that Zhu Ganglie was an excellent cook. Not only were his gold notes taken from him, but he was even kept as a pet to satisfy the appetites of these cultivators.
How could Zhu Bajie endure such a miserable life? Countless attempts to escape ended in failure.
And here we are! He's been caught again...
Fortunately, he was tough and resilient, which allowed him to withstand the repeated beatings.
However, the brilliance in his eyes had long since vanished, and he even began to miss the cunning Zhuge Liang who had repeatedly tricked him.
"Ouch! Go easy on me, or I'll run away..."
"Ouch... If my older brother knew you beat me like this, he'd haunt you even as a ghost..."
"Hmph! It seems you haven't grasped the situation yet. Even if Zhuge Liang were alive, let alone that he's dead, what could he possibly do to us? Beat him to death!"
A cultivator spoke without restraint.
"Stop! Release Master Pig!"
Li Muling gasped and cried out.
"Little beauty, if it weren't for orders from above, I'd have you serving these old men today!"
After Kongming disappeared, Li Guangling made a threatening statement: anyone who dared to harm those around him would be destroyed along with him, and they would not be allowed to use his name for expansion.
Therefore, Qu Qianchou reported to the Jade Cauldron Sect, instructing them to protect his son-in-law's family, which can be considered as the old man doing his utmost.
However, as time goes on, some people inevitably lose control of themselves.
A cultivator with a lewd grin slowly approached Li Muling.
"What...what do you want to do?" Li Muling was forced to retreat repeatedly.
"Hehe, it's such a waste for such a beautiful girl to spend all her time guarding a dead man. Why don't I take good care of you!"
A ferocious look gradually appeared on the cultivator's face.
"Go away!"
Li Muling shouted, taking out the dagger she carried and pointing it at her own neck.
"Hehe... little wench, now that things are settled, I'm not falling for your tricks anymore!"
As the cultivator spoke, he lunged at Li Muling.
"Are you even men? If you've got the guts, come at me, you old pig!"
In desperation, Zhu Ganglie got up from the ground and shouted at the cultivator.
"Oh ho! You think you're so great, huh!"
A cultivator sneered and kicked Zhu Ganglie hard in the stomach, sending him flying backward and crashing into a stone pillar with a dull thud.
Pigsy grimaced in pain, but he continued to curse under his breath.
"You little brat, why did you have to come to the Death Desert? Even the name says it's a dangerous place! You've really put me in a difficult position, and now I have to protect your woman..."
Zhu Ganglie got up from the ground, grabbed the rake, and lunged at the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a real wild boar.
"I think you want to die!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator snorted coldly, glanced at Zhu Ganglie, and gathered spiritual energy in his hand, preparing to teach this overconfident wild boar a profound lesson.
Unexpectedly, the wild boar suddenly went berserk, and a sharp tusk shot out from its mouth, biting directly at the throat of the Foundation Establishment cultivator with astonishing speed.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator clearly hadn't expected that this thing, a mere Qi Refining stage pig demon, would have the courage to fight him to the death.
However, it was clear that Zhu Bajie had run out of tricks and even resorted to biting.
He then sneered, shifted his body to the side, and threw a punch at Zhu Ganglie's tusk.
However, to his surprise, the fang easily pierced through his fist, carrying an indescribable tenacity and power, heading straight for his throat.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator was terrified and hurriedly used his movement technique to dodge, but he was already in grave danger. His clothes were torn by the fangs, leaving a shocking gash on his chest.
Upon seeing this, the cultivator's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected that this submissive pig demon would possess such sharp tusks.
"Fellow disciples, help me capture and kill this demon!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator was careless and was directly defeated by Zhu Ganglie, losing his fighting ability. So he hurriedly asked his fellow disciples for help.
Immediately, several Foundation Establishment cultivators surrounded Zhu Ganglie.
"Ow!"
Suddenly, Zhu Ganglie let out a howl, revealing his enormous true form. He picked up Li Muling and tried to rush down the mountain.
"Where to run!"
A Foundation Establishment cultivator roared.
He immediately unleashed his magic weapon, a golden net that flew from his hand, growing longer in the wind, instantly blocking all of Zhu Ganglie and Li Muling's path.
It then immediately contracted, binding the two inside.
The golden net shimmered with dazzling light, its surface covered in flowing runes, clearly indicating that it was a powerful magical artifact.
"Hmph, a mere pig demon dares to run wild on the territory of my Jade Cauldron Sect!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered, then used magic to retract the golden net.
"Stay here, beauty! Beat this pig demon to death with clubs! We'll all have an extra meal tonight!"
The cultivator grinned maliciously, a gleaming iron rod now in his hand. The surrounding cultivators also unleashed their respective magical artifacts, preparing to massage Zhu Ganglie.
However, at this crucial moment, a feather fan appeared out of thin air and gently swayed.
The once unbreakable golden net seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, slowly suspending in the air before shattering inch by inch, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating into nothingness.
Then, Li Muling was carried by a gentle breeze and slowly fell back to the ground, while Zhu Ganglie fell face-first into the dirt.
"Who dares to run wild at my Wolong Manor!"
A soft shout resounded, deafening the cultivators present.
"My older brother has appeared! Hahaha... I was just saying that even as a ghost, my older brother won't let you go..."
Pigsy got up from the ground and started cursing.
