Chapter 87 White Tiger Ridge: Li Bo Falls into a Treachery
But Li Fa was unaware that Baili Bo had seen all of this.
It turned out that Baili Bo was on his way to search for the demon in the mountains. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered Li Fa's instructions and felt a little regretful.
He thought, "My elder brother has treated me well. I shouldn't have acted so impulsively. I should go back first and discuss this with him."
So he turned around and went back.
But as soon as he returned to that area, he saw the true form of the Corpse Demon fly away from Li Fa, and Li Fa did not pursue it.
Upon seeing this, Baili Bo was both shocked and furious, thinking to himself, "What does my brother mean by this? He clearly captured that vixen, so why let her escape? Did he accept a bribe from her and deliberately protect her? Or does he simply not want to avenge me?"
Thinking of this, Baili Bo felt depressed and his blood boiled. He rushed forward and shouted, "Brother! Why did you let that corpse demon go?"
Li Fa turned around and saw Baili Bo's angry face, and secretly thought that something was wrong.
He knew that Baili Bo was impulsive by nature and eager for revenge, so he was probably mistaken.
He quickly said, "Brother, don't be anxious, listen to me..."
Baili Bo interrupted him, saying, "What am I listening to? I saw that vixen escape from you with my own eyes, and you did nothing! Brother, you kept saying you'd help me get revenge, but was that just to appease me?"
Li Fa sighed and said, "Brother, you misunderstand. That corpse demon is cunning. I had just subdued her, but she used a corpse dissolution technique to escape. The reason I didn't chase after her is because... because the time wasn't right."
Baili retorted, "The time isn't right? It's always the time not being right! That vixen is right in front of you, yet you let her go. Isn't that raising a tiger to cause future trouble? Brother, what exactly are you plotting?"
But Li Fa couldn't very well tell him that he was a time traveler and that he possessed the Merit Record, so he could only say, "Brother, calm down. As you know, that Corpse Demon and the old monster who stole your relic are somewhat connected."
If I kill this corpse demon now, the old monster might become alerted. Furthermore, according to my divination, this corpse demon is destined for a calamity, which will befall Tang Sanzang and his disciples. If we rashly intervene, we might disrupt the natural order, which would be disastrous.”
Baili Bo wouldn't listen to any of that and sneered, "Destiny? What destiny? All I know is that she occupied my cave and my relic was stolen!"
"Fine, fine! Brother, if you really won't help me, I'll go find that vixen myself and fight her to the death!"
Having said that, he turned and left.
Li Faqiang couldn't stop him and could only let Baili Bo leave.
However, after escaping from Li Fa's side, the corpse demon did not flee far away.
This demon was inherently wicked and extremely cunning. After escaping, it hid in the clouds, squinting and watching closely, seeing and hearing every word of the argument between Li Fa and Baili Bo.
Seeing that the two had turned against each other because of him, and Baili Bo stormed off in anger, the Corpse Demon had already devised a wicked plan.
He returned to the cave, summoned the black fox spirit, and said, "Your plan has failed, but I have another one."
The black fox spirit asked, "What plan does Madam have?"
The White Bone Demon smiled slightly, cast a spell, and transformed the Black Fox Demon into her own appearance, while she herself transformed into the appearance of the Extreme Transformation Child.
Then he whispered something to the black fox spirit, explaining his plan.
Upon hearing this, the black fox spirit said, "Madam's plan is indeed brilliant, but it is somewhat dangerous. However, I just patrolled the mountain and saw a group of monks, who must be Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West. In my humble opinion, we should capture Tang Sanzang first and then deal with this matter."
The Corpse Demon exclaimed, "Fortune! Fortune! For years, my family has been telling me about the Tang monk from the East who went to retrieve the Mahayana scriptures. He was originally the incarnation of Jin Chanzi, the original body of ten lifetimes of cultivation. Anyone who eats a piece of his flesh will gain longevity and immortality."
"Zhen Ge has arrived today, it's amazing we've all come together. But this opportunity is fleeting. We can't abandon this situation either; let's first turn Baili Bo and his cronies against each other."
Upon hearing this, the black fox spirit cupped her hands in agreement, saying, "Your Majesty is wise."
So the two of them went to the blue stone in front of the mountain and deliberately put on an intimate act, flirting and teasing each other, waiting for Baili Bo to come.
Meanwhile, Baili Bo was filled with rage and strode into the depths of the mountains.
His heart burned like a raging fire; all he wanted was to find the corpse demon's lair and fight her to the death.
After walking for a short while, they suddenly saw a cave faintly visible beneath the cliff ahead.
The cave entrance was shrouded in vines, and the sides were lined with jagged rocks, making it a place indeed inhabited by evil spirits.
Baili Bo was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "That vixen must be hiding here!"
So he summoned the five-pronged sky-supporting fork and was about to step forward, but before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
Two people were sitting on a blue stone in front of the cave!
One of them was the corpse demon he had been longing to kill day and night, who was now leaning softly against that person, exuding a seductive charm.
another……
Baili Bo stared intently, and his blood rushed to his head, his eyes widening in fury!
Then who is the other one? If it's not his sworn brother, the old Taoist Jihuazi, then who is it?!
The old Taoist priest was sitting side by side with Lady White Bone. The Corpse Demon was laughing hysterically, saying something, and gently pushing the priest with one hand, looking like they were flirting.
Baili Bo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the world was spinning.
He recalled the scene when he released the Corpse Demon, and the nonsense he had uttered about "the time not being right" and "the fate of heaven being disrupted," and then looked at the scene before him.
I see! I see!
What revenge for him, what sworn brotherhood—it's all a lie!
This bastard had long been in cahoots with that corpse demon, deliberately stopping him from making a move, clearly protecting that vile woman!
Baili Bo felt an unnamed rage surge up his chest and overwhelm his mind.
He roared, "You adulterous couple! Today you'll die a horrible death!"
Having said that, he raised his five-pronged fork, leaped into the air, and pounced straight at the two people on the blue stone!
When Jihuazi and Lady White Bone saw him coming, they jumped up in fright.
Lady White Bone screamed and turned to run into the cave. Ji Huazi also hurriedly got up, but instead of fighting, he dodged to the side and followed Lady White Bone into the cave.
Baili Bo was unwilling to give up, so he thrust his fork forward, which struck the stone wall at the cave entrance, sending sparks flying.
He chased after the cave entrance, only to be blocked by a stone door.
With a loud "bang," the stone door slammed shut, and there was no further sound from inside.
Baili Bo was furious, swinging his fork wildly and cursing loudly:
"You vile woman! Come out here! Today I will skin you alive and tear your tendons out to avenge my entire family!"
"Jihuazi! You treacherous scoundrel! You hypocritical scoundrel! And you call yourself a monk?!"
"I must have been blind to recognize you as my boss! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me for three hundred rounds, and I'll tear your face to shreds!"
"You two shameless bastards! What kind of skill is it to hide in a cave? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me fair and square! Come out! Come out here!"
He cursed for half an hour, but the cave remained completely silent.
Baili Bo, exhausted from cursing and his hands sore from hitting the ground with his fork, had to take a break and lean against the cave entrance, panting heavily.
He felt a mix of anger, sadness, and disappointment.
He thought he had met a benefactor who could avenge him, but who knew he would turn out to be a hypocrite!
Just as he was filled with grief and indignation, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Baili Bo turned around abruptly and saw a person running towards him on the mountain path—it was Jihua Zi!
He jumped to his feet, gripped his five-pronged fork, and glared angrily: "You dare come here again?!"
Seeing his expression, Li Fa said, "What are you saying, my good brother? The time has come, and I have come to help you. Have you found the hiding place of the Corpse Demon?"
