Gaoliang said, "Majesty! What's this golden bull's background?"
The Heavenly Emperor replied, "This golden bull used to be my personal mount. However, five hundred years ago, I no longer needed him. But lately, he's become restless—frequently sneaking down to the mortal realm to graze on grass. I wonder where he is now?"
"Your Majesty! The golden bull may have vanished from the mortal realm! He's somewhere in an unknown location!" the Golden Light Messenger interjected.
"Hmm! Gaoliang! You've come at the perfect time! Go investigate exactly where this golden bull has gone!" the Heavenly Emperor said.
Gaoliang then replied, "Then I'll go investigate! But first, you must lend me a divine artifact!"
"What kind of artifact?" the Heavenly Emperor asked.
Gaoliang said, "A Mirror of Divine Light!"
"A Mirror of Divine Light! Excellent! Excellent! However," the Heavenly Emperor suddenly hesitated.
For this Mirror of Divine Light was a treasured palace relic of the heavenly court—should it be borrowed by Gaoliang, the entire heavenly palace would be at risk.
Gaoliang smiled
Then, naturally, I shall return! I am someone who keeps his word!" After some thought, the Heavenly Emperor finally agreed. Immediately, Gao Liang took the Divine Light Mirror and, standing atop the Tianzhu Peak, directed it toward the entire realm—effectively scanning the whole universe at high speed. With his advanced knowledge in computer science and technology, he could seamlessly integrate with the Divine Light Mirror to enable rapid, real-time scanning. Soon, he spotted Chen Yuting's whereabouts—she was on an unknown mountain. Gao Liang immediately followed the direction of the mirror, flying toward that mountain. The Fire Qilin's ability to soar through the skies was exceptionally swift. Soon, he arrived at the mountain. It was towering and steep all around, nearly impossible to climb. Fortunately, Gao Liang stood on a sheer cliff, using the Divine Light Mirror to illuminate the entire mountain. Thus, he gained a clear, comprehensive view of the entire mountain.
Soon, Gao Liang spotted a cave ahead, and through the divine light mirror, he discovered that people lived inside. Gao Liang immediately rode the fire Qilin over to it and landed swiftly. At the cave entrance, Gao Liang noticed something reminiscent of a cave from the Journey to the West. Hmm! Hey! Which cave is this? He promptly flew inside.
"The牛魔王shook with pain, while Gao Liang lifted the jade-faced fox with one hand and threw her onto the bed. When Chen Yuting saw Gao Liang arrive, she immediately cried out, "Husband! You've come just in time! I'm so afraid! Husband! I'm so afraid!" "Madam! Don't be afraid! I'll protect you!" Gao Liang said, then advanced step by step, pressing steadily, while the Niu Wang kept retreating. However, the Niu Wang was quite cunning—he suddenly drew a crescent blade from his waist and charged it straight at Gao Liang's forehead. "Crack!" With a swift "lightning-step" and a graceful "dragon-form leap," Gao Liang skillfully dodged the blow. The crescent blade struck the stone wall, embedding three inches deep and proving difficult to pull out. Gao Liang then stepped forward and kicked the Niu Wang squarely in the back. The Niu Wang cried out in pain. "Well deserved!" Chen Yuting was delighted to see her husband successfully scolding the Niu Wang—she was truly thrilled!
The jade-faced fox was extremely cunning. While Gao Liang was scolding the Bull Demon King, she swiftly drove her golden hairpin toward Chen Yuting's throat. Chen Yuting was in great peril, coughing incessantly, nearly unable to breathe. Gao Liang grew furious, launching a solid punch that struck the jade-faced fox squarely in the wrist, causing her golden hairpin to fall. Seizing the moment, Chen Yuting stepped out of the fox's reach and returned to her husband's side. Only together, with Gao Liang, did they feel secure. Now, Gao Liang was ready to unleash his full fury. "Any man who harms my woman shall die! My resolve is unyielding—anyone who dares to stand in my way shall meet the same fate!" His voice resonated with such rage that the entire cave trembled. Both the Bull Demon King and the jade-faced fox were startled. Though the Bull Demon King remained unyielding, he drew his sword once more and charged straight for Gao Liang's forehead. Gao Liang, swift and alert, dodged nimbly, shifting his body and tilting his head, allowing the Bull Demon King's crescent blade to once
The jade-faced fox flung the golden hairpin toward Gao Liang. Gao Liang darted aside, as if the hairpin had skimmed past him. It landed on a yellow cat, which immediately bled black blood—poisonous! The hairpin was highly toxic! Truly unexpected—how cruel the jade-faced fox had been. Gao Liang was furious and drew out his Sword of Heaven's Cut. With a series of swift, wide-arc sword movements—like several large bowls of blossoms—he advanced, stepping into the central path, gathering his breath in his dantian, focusing his spirit, and then launching his attack. "Oh! My goodness!" The jade-faced fox's clothes were torn, and she cried out in surprise. The Bull King transformed into a massive golden bull, charging straight at Gao Liang, who immediately stepped back to evade. The bull was a wild, unbridled creature. Outside the mountain, the bull relentlessly pursued Gao Liang, who carried Chen Yuting, rushing through the forest. After all, in this mountain, the bull was the king.
Every time the Bull struck the mountain, stones would fall from it. Soon, stones cascaded down, landing beside Gao Liang and Chen Yuting. Gao Liang was running, but to his surprise, the Bull moved faster. He immediately jumped down from the ditch. As the Bull crossed it, Gao Liang raised his Zhantian Sword and struck the Bull’s hoof with great force. Soon, the Bull’s hoof was injured and could no longer move swiftly. Gao Liang and Chen Yuting stood before the Bull. Gao Liang roared, "O King of the Bull! Your time has come!" Then he raised the Zhantian Sword once more and charged at the Bull. Unexpectedly, a sudden gale blew, lifting Gao Liang and Chen Yuting into the air, making them drift and sway. "Where are we? Where are we?" As they drifted, they landed in an unknown place, where mist and vapor swirled around them, like a fairy realm. "Husband! There’s a household nearby! Let’s go in! I’m thirsty!"
Chen Yuting and Gao Liang immediately entered a pavilion surrounded by hedges—this was a temple. Gao Liang saw a young attendant guarding the gate, who invited them in to have a cup of water. As they passed by, the attendant allowed them to enter. Inside, Gao Liang spotted an adult dressed in a skirt, holding a broom, seated upon a lotus petal. Oh! Who could this be? Chen Yuting and Gao Liang both gasped in surprise at the same moment—there, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva! Guanyin also noticed them and asked, "Where have you come from? What brings you to this sacred place?" Gao Liang smiled, bowed respectfully, and said, "I have come to inform you of the matter concerning the Bull Demon King!" He then recounted the entire story to Guanyin. Guanyin smiled and said, "This is not difficult at all—just hold onto this Calming-Wind Pill!" Gao Liang immediately thanked her, "Thank you, Blessed Bodhisattva!" Then, Gao Liang and Chen Yuting quickly mounted the Fire Qilin and returned to their starting point, soaring through the
Soon, they reached the mountain where it had always been. At that moment, King Niu was with Princess Iron Fan and the Fox with Fair Face, embracing both his wives, celebrating a grand banquet on a stone table. Unexpectedly, a small spirit rushed in to report, "Your Majesty! Not good! Not good! Someone has entered the mountain!" "Hold them off! What are you doing? Hold them off! Quickly! Hold them off!" King Niu was furious. The small spirit, trembling, said, "Your Majesty! That person is very powerful! We cannot withstand him! Many of our brothers have been wounded!" "Who is this divine being daring to enter my stronghold?" Immediately, King Niu lost his festive mood and followed the spirit out, holding two crescent blades. When he saw the figure before him, he was stunned. High Liang and Chen Yuting stood before him. He was amazed—how could they have been blown away by Princess Iron Fan's banana fan? And here they were again!
Not only was the Bull Demon King greatly surprised, but the Iron Fan Princess was equally astonished.
