Chapter 401 Letter from the Dragon Clan
The next day, daybreak came.

Dongsheng Shenzhou, Kanyuan Mountain.

Inside a secret room.

Xiao Chen summoned the mosquito demon Shu Wen, and took out the “Sun Eye Embroidery Needle” from the small world in his belly.

This embroidery needle is about five or six centimeters long. When held in the hand, it shines with bright golden light, as if it contains endless heat and masculine energy, which makes people dare not look directly at it.

Xiao Chen handed the Japanese-eye embroidery needle to Shu Wen, with a hint of expectation and entrustment in his tone:

“Shu Wen, can you see if you can devour this magic weapon?”

“This may be a rare opportunity for you.”

The mosquito demon Shu Wen has worked in Silizhai for many years and naturally has a good understanding of magic weapons.

When he saw this Japanese-eye embroidery needle, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that this was definitely an extraordinary magic weapon. Being able to devour it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his own strength.

Mosquito demon Shu Wen quickly thanked him:
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for the treasure.”

Under Xiao Chen’s expectant gaze, the mosquito demon Shu Wen flashed and instantly revealed his mosquito form.

The mosquito demon’s body was completely black before, and the current mosquito demon Shu Wen’s body is still black.

But the pair of mosquito wings have already faintly revealed some red lines. Although they are still relatively shallow now, they reveal an extraordinary aura, as if they contain power from ancient times.

What is even more eye-catching is the mosquito monster’s mouthparts, which are slender and sharp like needles, flashing a sharp cold light.

The mouthparts seemed to have been tempered through thousands of times, becoming extremely hard and sharp, as if they could easily pierce through all obstacles. No matter whether it was magic weapons or armor, it was difficult to withstand its edge.

The mosquito demon Shu Wen stretched out his slender mosquito-like hand and carefully took the sun-eye embroidery needle, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

“I suck!”

He let out a light shout, then aimed his sharp mouthparts at the Japanese embroidery needle and stabbed it fiercely.

but.

Time passed little by little.

The mosquito demon Shu Wen sucked for a long time, but the Sun-Eyed Embroidery Needle seemed to have not changed much, still maintaining its original shape and dazzling light.

Xiao Chen watched quietly from the side and did not feel too disappointed.

After all, the mosquito demon’s innate magical power of “devouring the essence of magic weapons” has just awakened, and it is still far from the real blood-winged black mosquito.

This “Sun Eye Embroidery Needle” is an acquired spiritual treasure after all, and its strength is still there. It is normal that it is not so easy to be swallowed.

“Your Majesty, Shu Wen is ashamed.”

The mosquito demon Shu Wen lowered his head and said embarrassedly, still tightly holding the sun-eye embroidery needle in his hand which had not changed much.

He felt a little depressed and felt that he had let Xiao Chen down.

Xiao Chen smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said comfortingly:

“It’s okay. The toughness of magic weapons cannot be compared to the flesh.”

“After all, this Sun Eye Embroidery Needle is an acquired spiritual treasure, and it cannot be swallowed so easily.”

“Don’t blame yourself too much.”

As he spoke, Xiao Chen encouraged:

“I will customize a magic weapon production line just for you.”

“Let you start from low-level magic weapons and move up to high-level magic weapons, and practice slowly.”

“I believe that with your talent and hard work, you will be able to devour higher-level magic weapons one day.”

“When the time comes, you will definitely become a great help to my men!”

There is a reason why Xiao Chen thinks so highly of the mosquito demon Shu Wen.

He was well aware of how powerful the blood-winged black mosquito was. Although Shu Wen had not yet grown to that level, the potential he possessed was immeasurable.

In Xiao Chen’s opinion, Shu Wen is like an unpolished jade. As long as he is given enough time and opportunities, he will surely shine brightly.

What’s more, they are about to go to “Heaven to steal treasures”. As the liaison officer of the “Heavenly Treasure Stealing Group”, the mosquito demon Shu Wen’s strength is directly related to the success or failure of the operation.

On the other hand, in Xiao Chen’s view, the mosquito demon Shu Wen’s ability to “devour the essence of magic weapons” is actually a powerful weapon.

Although the magic weapon absorbed by Shu Wen will be destroyed, the resource utilization efficiency seems to be very low.

But Xiao Chen saw the huge potential of this magical power from another perspective.

In his opinion, isn’t this a unique ability to “destroy and damage magic weapons”?
In these three realms, the power of magic weapons often determines the outcome of a battle.

However, the mosquito demon Shu Wen’s innate magical power can directly destroy the opponent’s magic weapon, even those powerful innate spiritual treasures.

Xiao Chen secretly calculated in his heart that if the mosquito demon Shu Wen could continue to grow, then he would be able to deal with some difficult magic weapons in the future.

He could have ordered Shu Wen to secretly devour and destroy it.

……

“Thank you very much, Your Majesty.”

When the mosquito demon Shu Wen heard this, his eyes sparkled with gratitude, and he quickly bowed:
“Shu Wen will definitely work hard to practice and live up to the king’s expectations.”

……

As Ao Jun said:
“One day in heaven is one year on earth.”

“I don’t know how long it will take to go there and back.”

The four dragon kings are not allowed to enter the heaven without imperial decree.

The Four Dragon Kings wanted to go to Heaven to look for Sun Wukong, but they could only try their best to contact their friends in Heaven, either by bribing them with benefits or by asking for favors, just to be able to go to the Palace of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven or other places in Heaven to look for Sun Wukong.

The speed at which time passes in the heavenly realm and the underworld is completely different.

It was unknown how much time had passed in the lower world with this trip.

Although Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng were anxious, they knew they couldn’t be impatient.

They understand that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, but if the knife is not well sharpened, it is useless to chop wood.

With Xiao Chen’s full support, the mosquito demon Shu Wen embarked on his journey of devouring magic weapons.

He would devour some low-level magic weapons every day, gradually improving his strength and devouring ability.

……

This day.

The sunlight shines through the cracks in the secret room, casting patches of light on the stone walls of Kanyuan Mountain.

In the secret room, Xiao Chen sat in the center with a solemn and determined look.

Xiao Chen summoned the three demons: Princess Wansheng, the Great Sage Huangfeng, and the mosquito demon Shu Wen.

When the three demons gathered, Xiao Chen introduced them to Princess Wan Sheng.
“Ao Yao, these two are my capable subordinates, Huang Feng and Shu Wen, and they are also important helpers in our treasure-stealing mission in Heaven this time.”

Xiao Chen pointed at the Great Sage Huang Feng and continued:

“Huang Feng is a great demon from the realm of Taiyi Jinxian. He is highly skilled in stealing…”

Then, Xiao Chen turned to the mosquito demon Shu Wen and introduced:
“Shu Wen has the ability to clone himself. He can transform into thousands of different people and contact all parties, providing a lot of convenience for our actions…”

Princess Wansheng heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes, she bowed slightly and said:

“King Jinjiao, thank you for your trouble.”

“I will be assured when you do things.”

After staying in Kanyuan Mountain for more than a year, Princess Wansheng witnessed the might of the demon soldiers and generals in Kanyuan Mountain, and her understanding of the power of the Golden Horn King deepened.

She knew that a great demon like the Great Sage Huangfeng, who was at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, could occupy a mountain and become the king even in a place where demons were entrenched like the Northern Julu Continent.

However, the Great Sage Huangfeng was willing to serve under Xiao Chen, which was enough to prove that the Great King Jinjiao had extraordinary strength and charm.

“Okay, then we will work together from now on.”

Xiao Chen looked at the three demons, Princess Halloween, Great Sage Huangfeng, and Mosquito Demon Shu Wen, and spoke.

“Okay, King Golden Horn.”

Princess Halloween bowed again.

“I will obey the king’s order.”

The Great Sage Huang Feng waved the three-pronged steel fork in his hand with fanaticism in his eyes, as if he could not wait to throw himself into this thrilling treasure-stealing operation.

“I will obey the Lord’s orders.”

The mosquito demon Shu Wen also bowed and saluted. Although his voice was as thin as a mosquito, it revealed his loyalty and determination to Xiao Chen.

……

In your spare time.

The four demons Xiao Chen, Princess Wansheng, Great Sage Huangfeng and Mosquito Demon Shu Wen were not idle, but began to conduct some coordination drills before actual combat to make full preparations for the upcoming treasure-stealing operation in Heaven.

For example, building the “radio station” intelligence network of Mosquito Monster Shu Wen is one of their important plans.

Xiao Chen was well aware that there were many powerful people in the Heavenly Court, and the transmission of intelligence not only affected the success or failure of the operation, but was also a matter of life and death.

To ensure the confidentiality and security of intelligence transmission.

Therefore, he decided to use the mosquito demon Shu Wen’s clone technique to build an intelligence network covering the entire operation area.

Xiao Chen first used the “Ancestral Dragon Pearl” to conceal the auras of Princess Halloween, the Great Sage Huangfeng, and the mosquito demon Shu Wen, allowing them to move more freely in the Heavenly Palace without being easily discovered.

Subsequently.

The mosquito demon Shu Wen’s true form naturally sneaked into the small world in Xiao Chen’s belly, serving as the intelligence center and making plans.

The mosquito first entered the abdominal cavity of Princess Halloween.

Mosquito No. 2 entered the abdominal cavity of Yellow Wind Great Sage. In this way, even if Xiao Chen, Princess Wansheng and Yellow Wind Great Sage were dozens of miles apart, they could still communicate and transmit information in real time through the Mosquito Demon Shu Wen’s clone technique.

This unimpeded communication method that transcends spatial limitations undoubtedly provides great convenience and security for their operation to steal treasures from the Heavenly Palace.

……

Time flows like a stream, passing by silently and hastily.

In the blink of an eye, five or six long years have passed.

……

This day.

The long-awaited news finally came from the Dragon Palace in Longhai.

The news was personally delivered by the Monkey King and a trusted confidant of Aoqun. They were covered in dust and looked hurried as they came all the way.

In the deep secret room of Kanyuan Mountain.

The Monkey King had a solemn expression, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Obviously, the news he brought was not exciting.

“Third brother, you can say whatever you want.”

“Whether good or bad, we have to face it, don’t we?”

Seeing this, Xiao Chen chuckled, his tone revealing a bit of calmness and composure.

The Monkey King took a deep breath and slowly told the news he had learned:
“Fourth brother, the Dragon Clan used some connections to send an envoy to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven’s residence in the Thirty-three Heavens to inquire about the gatekeeper of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven’s residence.”

“The gatekeeper said that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has not returned to the palace for a long time. No one knows where he has gone to meet friends and visit the palace to make friends and establish sworn brotherhood.”

“That’s it…”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen sighed softly and frowned slightly.

This was indeed news that made him feel a little disappointed.

Things did not go as he wished.

Originally he had hoped that Sun Wukong could become a key link in his plan to steal treasures from heaven, but now it seems that this plan may have a lot of variables.

However, this is reasonable.

Xiao Chen quickly adjusted his mentality.

He understood that at this time, Sun Wukong’s whereabouts in the heaven were erratic. He would travel east today and west tomorrow. His whereabouts were very erratic.

If Sun Wukong was leisurely enjoying delicious peaches in the Peach Garden, then perhaps there would be a chance to find him.

But if Sun Wukong went out to visit friends and drink, who could catch up with him and know where he went?

After all, Sun Wukong’s somersault cloud could travel tens of thousands of miles at an incredibly fast speed, and it disappeared in a flash.

Even the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals found it difficult to capture the figure of Sun Wukong.

How could these gatekeepers catch up with Sun Wukong and find out his whereabouts?

Secondly, the people that Sun Wukong usually makes friends with are all big shots in heaven.

For example, Sun Wukong’s younger brothers, the Nan Ji Xian Weng (the God of Longevity), as well as the God of Fortune and the God of Wealth.

The high-ranking officials in heaven, such as the Emperor Donghua, were also familiar with Sun Wukong.

These big guys are the absolute top leaders in the heavenly realm.

The residences of these big guys are often hidden in small worlds or protected by powerful barriers.

It is difficult for ordinary immortal officials, even the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, to enter easily.

At this time.

The Monkey King waved his hand gently, and the dragon from the dragon clan retreated tactfully.

In an instant, he and Xiao Chen were the only two monsters left in the secret room.

After several soundproof barriers were set up.

The Monkey King looked at Xiao Chen, his expression full of inquiry:
“What should we do in this situation?”

The Monkey King asked in a deep voice, with a hint of anxiety in his tone:
“Fourth brother, what are you going to do?”

“Da da da……”

Xiao Chen’s fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the throne, making rhythmic sounds.

His mind was like surging waves, with thoughts flying around and difficult to calm down.

Waiting for Sun Wukong to come back, joining forces with him, and letting Sun Wukong act as an insider to help him steal treasures in Heaven is undoubtedly the best option.

He, the King of Golden Horn, never lacks patience and can wait patiently for the return of Sun Wukong.

However, he is not the kind of monster who would sit back and wait for death, placing all his hopes on others.

The world is like chess, and the game is new.

He knew very well that he could not put all the chips on Sun Wukong alone.

After all, there are too many unexpected events and too great unknown risks.

Right now, there was no news from Sun Wukong, and he couldn’t wait endlessly.

Wait another eight, ten, or even dozens of years?
That time was too long, so long that although King Jinjiao could wait, the lifespan of Pansi Immortal was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

He couldn’t just watch Pansi Daxian approach the end of her life.

Similarly, Princess Halloween’s Taoist injuries were as heavy as a mountain and required urgent treatment.

Continuing to delay would only put her in deeper crisis.

Think about this.

A trace of determination flashed across Xiao Chen’s eyes, and he slowly said:

“Third brother.”

“For now, I can only sneak into the heaven.”

“I’ll go to heaven and make plans there.”

He had already figured everything out in his mind.

He, the King of Golden Horn, has a magic weapon called the “Mirage Scale Mask” that allows him to change his appearance at will, and even adjust his body shape, making it difficult for people to detect him.

In addition, he also has the magic weapon “Ancestral Dragon Pearl” in his hand.

The Ancestral Dragon Pearl can conceal the demonic aura on him and hide his breath, making it impossible for the Heaven’s Demon Mirror and the Clear Sky Mirror to detect it.

For King Golden Horn, sneaking into the heaven is not a difficult task.

Moreover, he, the King of Golden Horn, was not completely ignorant of the heavenly realm.

He also has a method that allows him to gain a certain understanding of the heavenly realm.

“That’s fine, though.”

The Monkey King frowned, his tone still carrying some worry that was difficult to conceal:
“However, if you want to sneak into the heaven, the risk is really not small.”

“In Nantianmen alone, there are many magical instruments that can detect the true form of the demon race and identify the demonic aura.”

“There is also the ‘Haotian Mirror’ which can see what is happening in the heavens at all times.”

“If you’re not careful, your identity could be exposed.”

At this point, the Monkey King paused and then suggested:
“Shall I talk to Sister-in-law Ao Jun and ask her to use the ‘Ancestral Dragon Pearl’ to help you?”

“After all, the ability of the ‘Ancestral Dragon Pearl’ to conceal evil spirits is extraordinary.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen waved his hand and said with a smile:
“Third brother, no need.”

“My weapon refining power has now grown to this scale, and I have also acquired some excellent magic weapons that can restrain auras.”

“These magic weapons are enough to deal with various inspections in the heavens, allowing me to sneak in smoothly.”

The Monkey King and his Golden Horned King are sworn brothers, and there is a life-and-death friendship between the two monsters. The Monkey King is also Xiao Chen’s right-hand scout on his mission to steal treasure from Heaven.

Xiao Chen knew very well that he could trust the Monkey King.

However, Xiao Chen’s attitude towards the Four Seas Dragon Clan was much more cautious.

He understood that to the four sea dragon tribes, he, King Golden Horn, was ultimately an outsider and could not truly integrate into their circle.

And for King Golden Horn, the same is true for the dragon clans of the four seas.

The relationship between them, after all, is just a cooperative relationship, not a life-and-death friendship.

When dealing with dragons, one must always be vigilant.

The minds of the dragons are unpredictable, and their stance may change due to interests.

The dragon clan cannot be trusted.

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, the Monkey King frowned, thought for a moment, and said worriedly:
“Then, Fourth Brother, without the help of the Monkey King, wouldn’t you know nothing about the heavens?”

“Wouldn’t it be like a blind man touching an elephant, bumping into obstacles everywhere?”

“Hahaha……”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen chuckled, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he said:

“Don’t worry, Third Brother.”

“I have an adopted daughter named Jin Hu Duo Duo.”

“She is the Yin Gourd Spirit. Although she is young, she is gifted and has quite good Yin magic.”

“Among them, she is best at the art of extracting souls…”
