Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 473 : Identity Exposed
```
When Tang Monk asked if there were any other demonic forces around Jisai Country, I hastily interjected, asserting there were none.
But I never anticipated that on this road, we would actually run into the cavalry who were heading to Black Sand River to investigate.
What I hadn't expected even more was that, after some conversation, these cavalrymen actually told Tang Monk and his companions about Green Wave Pool.
With all the demons of Black Sand River eliminated, surely Tang Monk wouldn't mind taking care of the demon of Green Wave Pool, right?
Not to mention, the Third Prince of the Western Sea Dragon Palace was also here, and seizing this opportunity for revenge would be killing two birds with one stone!
It's over, I'm done for!
At this moment, the Nine-Headed Serpent's heart sank completely. Looking at these cavalrymen before him, annoyance surged in his heart and he even harbored the thought of killing them.
"Green Wave Pool, ah!"
Setting aside what the Nine-Headed Serpent was thinking at the time, Jiang Liu quietly repeated the name "Green Wave Pool" under his breath, soon after, his gaze settled on the leading cavalryman and he asked, "Is the demon of Green Wave Pool also guilty of many evils?"
"Anyway, as long as it's a demon, there are none that are good!" In response to Jiang Liu's question, the leading cavalryman replied.
"Hmm, fair enough!" Jiang Liu nodded in agreement with what the cavalryman had said.
Not to mention, didn't the Nine-Headed Serpent steal the Buddhist Relic from Golden Light Temple in Jisai Country and present it to Princess Wansheng in the original story?
This in itself was proof that the demons of Green Wave Pool were no different from other demons.
"Master, do you intend to vanquish the demons of Green Wave Pool?"
Seeing why Jiang Liu would ask this and having followed him for so long, Little White Dragon could guess a thing or two. He looked at Jiang Liu and posed the question.
"This, depending on what you think," Jiang Liu replied to Little White Dragon's question, leaving the decision up to him.
Since the topic had already shifted to Green Wave Pool, from the old man's reaction, Jiang Liu could pretty much guess that he might be the Dragon King Wansheng of Green Wave Pool.
Therefore, at this point, Jiang Liu lost any interest in playing along any further.
"Old man, tell me, should all the demon creatures of Green Wave Pool be executed?" Jiang Liu asked the elder.
"Damn, has he seen through my identity?" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry, the Nine-Headed Serpent's heart tightened.
As soon as the cavalrymen had spoken, the Nine-Headed Serpent could feel the meaningful glance Jiang Liu had cast upon him.
Now, he deliberately asked whether Green Wave Pool should be destroyed, was this not a probe?
Confronted with Jiang Liu's question, the Nine-Headed Serpent was momentarily lost for words, unsure how to respond.
Agree? How could that be possible? If he agreed, what would he do if Tang Monk and his followers went straight to Green Wave Pool?
And yet, to disagree? Clearly, Tang Monk was already suspicious of his identity. At this point, disagreeing would be tantamount to admitting guilt, wouldn't it?
The elder disguised as the Nine-Headed Serpent remained silent.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing beside them also noted something amiss and turned their gaze toward him.
"Enough with the pretense, you must be from the Green Wave Pool of Wansheng Dragon Palace, correct?" At that point, Jiang Liu had no interest in continuing the charade and straightforwardly exposed the Nine-Headed Serpent's identity.
"What!? He's a demon from Green Wave Pool!?" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the faces of the nearby cavalrymen changed, they looked at the Nine-Headed Serpent with skepticism.
"A demon!? This old man is actually a demon!?" Following Jiang Liu's announcement, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's expressions also changed as they looked at the Nine-Headed Serpent in surprise.
Clearly, they had not seen through the Nine-Headed Serpent's disguise.
Of course, Sun Wukong nearby appeared calm, as his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze had long seen through the true form of the Nine-Headed Serpent.
"Great Sage, is it really so? You already know my identity?" The Nine-Headed Serpent said somewhat helplessly, following Jiang Liu's direct revelation that he was from Green Wave Pool.
While speaking, he did not hide his true identity any longer, and after a transformation, he revealed his original appearance: a handsome young man with the air of a scholar.
"Eh, isn't he the Dragon King Wansheng!?" Seeing the transformation from an old man to a strikingly handsome young man, Jiang Liu was briefly stunned.
Having thought he was an old man, he had assumed that the individual was Dragon King Wansheng. Now it seemed he might have been mistaken?
Green Wave Pool, home to a level 70 Golden BOSS. As a young man who was not the Dragon King Wansheng, there was only one possible conclusion—the Nine-Headed Serpent!
"It's you, Nine-Headed Serpent!"
Indeed, as the old man transformed into the young handsome man, White Dragon Horse shouted with a voice filled with hatred.
```
As they spoke, the White Dragon Horse's form underwent a series of changes, transforming into his Taoist Body.
Without wasting words, the White Dragon Horse raised his hand, and a long sword appeared in his grip. Without a moment's hesitation, he brought the sword swinging down towards the Nine-Headed Serpent.
Although when he originally spoke with Benboba, from the perspective of the Nine-Headed Serpent and Princess Wansheng, they indeed weren't at fault, hence the White Dragon Horse himself felt somewhat bewildered on how to confront the Nine-Headed Serpent and Princess Wansheng.
But, being rational is one thing, and being emotional is quite another!
At this moment, suddenly seeing the long-hated Nine-Headed Serpent appearing right before his eyes, the White Dragon Horse momentarily forgot all rational thoughts and directly engaged in combat!
Watching Xiaobai Aolie's attack approaching, the Nine-Headed Serpent's complexion subtly shifted as he quickly backed away.
At the same time, with a raise of his hand, the Crescent Shovel appeared in his grasp and greeted the incoming attack from the White Dragon Horse.
In terms of levels, Aolie was slightly lower than the Nine-Headed Serpent, with level 66 naturally being inferior to level 70.
However, since the incorporation of the residual Dragon Ball of the Candle Dragon, Aolie's aptitude and bloodline had greatly improved, and his character panel had also reached the level of a Golden BOSS.
Though his level was lower, during these days, by joining Jiang Liu in dungeon raids and teaming up, Aolie had also gained plenty of Experience Points. Although his level hadn't increased, his Cultivation Level had seen some improvement.
Of course, more importantly, the battles in the dungeons these days meant the White Dragon Horse was now outfitted with appropriate equipment, fully armed to the teeth, so to speak.
His character panel was all golden, with equal conditions!

Being four levels behind was a disadvantage.
But being fully armed to the teeth with equipment was definitely an advantage…
Therefore, when they started fighting, the combat between the Nine-Headed Serpent and Aolie was fiercely intense, yet neither side seemed to gain the upper hand.
"Is it really the demon from Green Wave Pool!?" Seeing the old man transform into a handsome young man and the Nine-Headed Serpent admitting his identity, the surrounding cavalry were all shocked.
While they dared to deal with ordinary demons, a battle at the Heavenly Immortal Realm was far beyond where they could intervene.
They didn't even feel worthy of watching, fearing they'd become collateral damage, and the cavalry scattered in terror.
"Master, should we help out?" Sun Wukong spoke up, seeking Jiang Liu's opinion.
Although they didn't know the identity of the Nine-Headed Serpent, nor the grievance between him and Aolie, the resentment shown by Aolie was clear for Sun Wukong and the others to see.
In consideration of Sun Wukong's loyalty, he naturally didn't wish to stand by idly.
"No need, Wukong. This matter is Xiaobai's personal issue, and it's best for him to resolve it himself. We better not interfere," Jiang Liu replied, shaking his head to Sun Wukong's suggestion.
Previously, Xiaobai had asked him how to confront this issue. Today, when the Nine-Headed Serpent suddenly appeared, Xiaobai couldn't help but lash out. From this, it was clear how deep his hatred ran, and how profoundly Princess Wansheng's incident had left its mark on his heart.
In Jiang Liu's opinion, for Xiaobai to untie the knot in his heart, it was best for him to act personally.
If he truly needed help, Jiang Liu thought Xiaobai would ask for it.
For this reason, as a Support Profession, Jiang Liu had no intention of getting involved.
Initially, during the fight, the Nine-Headed Serpent had been partly distracted, cautiously aware of Sun Wukong and the others.
There was no helping it. After accompanying the Scripture Seeking Team around, the Nine-Headed Serpent was well aware of the team's capabilities. Aolie, who had comparable strength to his own, was nevertheless the weakest member of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team!
If Sun Wukong or anyone else from the sidelines offered to help,Aolie, it would undoubtedly spell defeat for him!
However, after waiting a moment, the Nine-Headed Serpent realized Jiang Liu and the others had no intention of interfering. Even Wukong's offer to help had been stopped, which secretly relieved the Nine-Headed Serpent.
Although he didn't understand why Tang Monk was holding Sun Wukong and the others back from intervening, it seemed a lucky break for the Nine-Headed Serpent.
Wielding the Crescent Shovel in an impenetrable dance, the Nine-Headed Serpent gradually turned his full attention onto Aolie.
On the surface, it might appear as though the Nine-Headed Serpent was gaining the upper hand, but in reality, being deep within enemy territory, how could he dare stay a moment longer?
After gaining a slight advantage, the Nine-Headed Serpent feinted with his Crescent Shovel and then quickly drew back, darting away like lightning towards the distance!
Yet, Aolie simply stood there, sheathing his sword and watching the Nine-Headed Serpent's fleeing figure, showing no intent of pursuit.
Of course, since Xiaobai Aolie himself did not give chase, naturally neither did Jiang Liu and the others.
Jiang Liu simply focused on Aolie, silently bemused.
Why wasn't he chasing, when hatred was so fervent during the clash?
