After hearing that, King Zhou nodded. The Nine-Tailed Fox was just signing her death warrant. How dare she plot against his wife and children! Though he had been a demon in his previous life, he was now a human being who had feelings, especially about Queen Jiang. The Nine-Tailed Fox had stabbed Jiang in the back, but King Zhou was so sly that he had created a substitute for the real one, and saved Queen Jiang.

As for King Zhou's two sons, they had been saved by people of the Clan of Enlightenment. King Zhou was worried but he could do nothing about it. Since his two sons were safe, he was at ease. But thinking of one thing, King Zhou could not help hesitating for a long time. Finally, he asked, ”Ancestor, it's getting harder and harder for me to control the incarnation. Do you have any suggestions?”

At first, when Minghe taught King Zhou the technique of the Incarnation, King Zhou had mixed a drop of his Blood of Essence with some materials given by Minghe and refined the Incarnation, which now was the fatuous and tyrannical King Zhou. But it was the Incarnation which had saved him. King Zhou was now really a bit scared to think of it. It didn't occur to him that the Sage would throw away his status to plot against him.

Hearing that, Minghe said, ”Your incarnation was broken because of Zhunti's trap. But the incarnation will be useful when the moment comes. I'll teach you another method to temporarily control the Incarnation. When you're in need, you can control the incarnation on the temporary basis.” After saying that, Minghe taught a spell to King Zhou.

Minghe continued to say, ”Before long, Bo Yikao will come to Zhaoge from Xiqi for saving his father. At that time, you'll need to control the Incarnation temporarily. You must make sure the father and the son can both safely go back to Xiqi so as not to ruin my plan. Understand?” King Zhou was confused, yet he agreed.

After giving King Zhou instructions, Minghe was about to leave. Before going, Minghe swung his arms and a fruit flew to King Zhou. King Zhou caught it immediately. Minghe said without turning around, ”It's a ginseng. It can help you to achieve the breakthrough of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal,” and he went into the void.

King Zhou looked at the ginseng in his hand, and his face lighted. With it, he could expect to achieve the safe of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal soon. When he was the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey in his previous life, he had been the Sacred Demon with the cultivation of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. However, it was in the past. He was not as ambitious as others and all he wanted was to be safe during his whole life. Now he was in the Cultivation Tribulation without any route of retreat, so the only thing he could do was to follow Minghe. At least so far it had been safe to follow him.

Bo Yikao had been heading east, and he was exhausted from the long travel. Finally, he arrived in Zhaoge. Then they asked to meet King Zhou to atone for his father's crime. However, it was a shame that King Zhou seldom took notice of the state affairs. So Bo Yikao naturally could not meet King Zhou. Then he first turned to Bi Gan, the assistant to Counselor-in-chief. Bi Gan was touched by Bo Yikao's filial piety and helped him to write a report to King Zhou.

At the same time, Shen Gongbao and San Yisheng were busy running about bribing officers of Zhaoge, especially Fei Zhong and You Hun. San Yisheng lured them with lots of gold silver and jewelry for making them speak up for the Marquis of the West. The two of them were greedy and naturally gave their word. As for the consequence of releasing Ji Chang, they heed little attention to it.

When the day of meeting King Zhou came, Bo Yikao offered three valuable treasures of Xiqi. The first one was the Qixiang Carriage. It was said that this treasure had been left over when Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You. There were gears set in the carriage so that it could move without the force of oxen and horses. The second one was the Sober Felt. If people were drunk, it would not take a long time to dispel the effects of alcohol if they sat on the felt. The third one was the White Face Monkey, which was rare because it could sing and dance.
