Chapter 160 - 157: Yingzhou Island and the Yamata no Orochi
So, the Ox Demon King had come back from Cave Moyun and halfway met the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light pursuing the Jade-faced Fox. He helped out and almost let the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light escape. Luckily, Enlightenment Dao happened to pass by and saw the scene. He used the Sword Leading Immortal Flight and ended the Buddha’s life immediately.
It is said that karma is determined by one’s actions. The Long-eared Brightness Immortal betrayed his sect and even stole the Six Soul Banner, destroying the last chance of survival of the Sect of Interception. For the people of the sect, his sins were heavy, and countless people cursed him in secret. His death seemed to fit the consequences of his deeds.
Enlightenment Dao said, "This evil monk practiced the Delightful Zen Method and caused much harm to numerous families—it’s good that he was killed!"
The Ox Demon King nodded repeatedly, and as he went by the clouds with Enlightenment Dao, he said, "The main issue is that I couldn’t stand his behavior, so I fought with him."
In his heart, Enlightenment Dao cursed, "I’m afraid you intervened because you found that Jade-faced Fox very beautiful. If she had been an ordinary woman, I doubt you would have bothered with this trouble." Although he cursed the Ox Demon King in his heart, he said aloud, "Brother Bull truly has the heart of a hero. Indeed, you are a hero among bulls."
The Ox Demon King, with his mouth almost stretching to his ears, said, "You flatter me too much. I just couldn’t stand by and do nothing."
When the two reached the side of the Jade-faced Fox, the Ox Demon King said, "Miss, I have killed that monk in vengeance for you! Don’t worry now."
"My name is Hu Li," the Jade-faced Fox replied through tears. "Your Majesty can simply call me by my name. Thank you for your mercy and for helping me. I am eternally grateful."
Watching from the side, Enlightenment Dao couldn’t help but roll his eyes. These Green Hills Foxes are really something else. Wasn’t there a Daji during the Divine Enthronement who had misled King Zhou of Shang? It seems these Fox Spirits are indeed adept at seduction. Although Hu Li didn’t use any spell, just her crying was enough to break the hearts of many men.
The Ox Demon King was stunned and wiped the saliva at the corner of his mouth, smiling and said, "Miss Hu Li, don’t be sad. You just mentioned that your land in Yingzhou, Green Hills Country, was taken over by a Nine-Headed Serpent?"
Hu Li nodded slightly and replied, "Yes...the Nine-Headed Serpent conquered our Green Hills Country, ate all my sisters as blood food. Only I managed to escape."
