Xu Fang and the two demon companions arrived at the entrance of the Sea King’s Palace. The bear demon glanced at the leopard demon and asked, “Brother Leopard, you’ve shown us your treasures; what do you have for the Bull King?”

  “Heh heh, my treasure may not be as impressive as yours, but it will surely be the one the Bull Demon King loves most!”

  As he spoke, the leopard demon looked around and carefully pulled out a palm-sized bag, signaling Xu Fang and the bear demon to use their powers to peer inside.

  Xu Fang and the bear demon exchanged glances, then gathered their energies to look into the bag. They were both momentarily stunned.

  Inside the bag was a woman.

  No, to be precise, it was a female spirit.

  She was a fox spirit with three tails, her skin was pale and delicate, her bright, clear eyes radiated a soft, warm light tinged with blue, her nose straight and elegantly curved, and her chestnut-colored hair shimmered with a dazzling luster...

  Judging by her appearance, the little fox looked to be in her early teens but already possessed the enchanting charm typical of her kind.

  At that moment, the little fox was looking out curiously at the world beyond the bag with her light blue eyes.

  This piqued Xu Fang's curiosity.

  He had practiced the Void Technique before, and many of his belongings were stored in the void. However, as far as he knew, this technique could only contain inanimate objects!

  Yet here was a palm-sized bag that contained a living fox spirit!

  “Brother Leopard, how is your bag able to hold a living being?”

  Xu Fang asked with genuine curiosity. He couldn’t tell if Master Bodhi had simply overlooked this detail or if he had been unaware of it, but it seemed unlikely that Master Bodhi didn’t know much.

  “Lord Tiger doesn’t know?”

  Before the leopard demon could speak, the bear demon looked at Xu Fang in surprise and explained, “This is a Beast Bag. It can expand and contract, allowing it to hold living beings, but those beings can only survive inside for a few days at most.”

  “Indeed, crafting a Beast Bag isn’t particularly difficult. Doesn’t Lord Tiger understand?”

  The leopard demon generously offered, “Even if you don’t, I can teach you how to make one!”

  “Then I thank you, Brother Leopard.”

  Xu Fang cupped his hands in gratitude and chuckled, “With such a thoughtful gift, I fear Brother Leopard will steal the spotlight this time!”

  After all, everyone knew the Bull Demon King had a weakness for beautiful women, and the leopard demon truly knew how to please him!

  As they spoke, they reached the entrance to the Sea King’s Palace.

  A cohort of shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolled continuously, while various sea creatures dressed in vibrant colors stood at the palace entrance, welcoming the visiting demon clans.

  Leading the group was a green-scaled demon in a red python robe, who appeared to be a demon of the dragon lineage. It was evident that he had not fully transformed, as one head still bore the features of a dragon.

  “What are you three doing? Do you have an invitation?”

  The dragon demon halted them and demanded.

  The leopard demon and bear demon nodded eagerly, producing a large red invitation from their pockets.

  Xu Fang followed suit, pulling a red invitation from his own robe with a flick of his wrist.

  Fortunately, since many demons were arriving to celebrate, the invitation only needed to be symbolically glanced at before being tossed into a nearby wooden basin. The dragon demon then ordered a blue fish spirit to escort the three of them inside.

  “Please, follow me.”

  The blue fish spirit led the way into the palace, which revealed a different world inside—opulent and dazzling.

  Once inside, the three were greeted by towering dragon columns, each coiled with golden dragons!

  However, instead of appearing majestic, the dragons looked pitiful, their powers bound and unable to move, reduced to mere exhibits for others to gawk at.

  “What is this...?”

  Xu Fang couldn’t help but ask, bewildered.

  The blue fish spirit chuckled and replied, “Lord Tiger, you may not know, but these are the offspring of the North Sea Dragon King. When our Bull King first arrived in the North Sea, these two little mudfish offended him due to their ignorance, so the Bull King punished them with a spell, keeping them here as a lesson for the North Sea Dragon King!”

  “I see.”

  Xu Fang nodded, though inwardly he mused on how poorly the dragon clan was faring.

  First, the East Sea Dragon King became a pawn in a scheme against the monkeys, and now the North Sea Dragon King’s sons were publicly tied up for all to see.

  The dragon clan was truly suffering humiliation!

  It was easy to imagine that with these two dragons displaying their shame, they were losing face for the entire dragon lineage. Meanwhile, the North Sea Dragon King had no choice but to seek help, as the dragon clan faced its twilight!

  As the trio entered the palace, they found a designated area for registering gifts. Each presented their treasures to a clam spirit for registration, who then instructed the blue fish spirit to take them to their seats.

  The banquet was held in a vast square, already filled with guests from various demon clans, totaling in the tens of thousands!

  No wonder such a potent demonic aura filled the air!

  At the head of the banquet, a crystal platform was set, where the Bull Demon King, draped in a bright red celebratory robe, raised his goblet and laughed heartily as he welcomed the various demon kings.

  Behind him sat the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King, and aside from Sun Wukong, six of the seven great saints were already gathered.

  Seeing the Bull Demon King basking in his glory, Xu Fang couldn’t help but smirk coldly. He sensed that the most formidable demons present were only the Bull Demon King and his kin, leaving him unafraid.

  He had already noticed that the guests would hand their treasures to the clam spirit, who would then transfer them to the treasure vault.

  As Xu Fang entered, he had left a trace of his power on the watermelon-sized luminous pearl, allowing him to pinpoint the vault’s location.

  Leaving a clone behind to drink and enjoy, Xu Fang’s true form transformed into a gust of wind, zipping directly toward the Bull Demon King’s vault.

  Sure enough, when he arrived at the vault, he spotted a lobster spirit directing several smaller demons to lift large boxes and move them into the vault.

  “Manager Lobster, our master’s wedding has brought in plenty of treasures!”

  One little demon grunted as he struggled with a box, a fawning smile on his face.

  At that moment, Xu Fang sneered coldly, unleashing his power to envelop the entire vault!

  “There are indeed many treasures here, but they belong to me now.”

  Xu Fang revealed himself, his power surging, causing the smaller demons to bleed from their orifices and drop dead instantly!

  Without delay, Xu Fang stepped into the treasure vault.

  This vault was vast, spanning a hundred feet wide, with rows of shelves displaying an array of treasures.
