"Do you remember there was a minor immortal in Heaven who served as the Curtain-Raising General?" Zhang Yun suddenly asked.
"Hmm." Guanyin nodded slightly. "This humble monk remembers that at the Peach Banquet, when I was lifting the curtain, I accidentally broke a crystal goblet and was punished by the Jade Emperor with an eight-hundred-foot-long rod, and banished to the mortal realm." (My body contains countless worlds.)

Chapter 281 A Sword Unparalleled in the World?
At this point, the usually clever Guanyin narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be..."
“The current General Curtain-Roller is a monster causing trouble in the Flowing Sand River in the lower realm.” Zhang Yun said, “He is also one of the pilgrims, Xuanzang’s third disciple. Go and meet him now, and tell him that many years later, there will be a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East, who will be his master.”
"After Xuanzang and his party subdued him, he was given the Dharma name Wujing."
As he spoke, Zhang Yun couldn't help but look up at the void, towards the direction of the Heavenly Court.
It was precisely because of the mistakes of the Jade Emperor and Buddha that Jin Chanzi was reincarnated prematurely, and General Juanlian was also demoted to the mortal world at that time.
They had no idea how difficult it was to tame Sun Wukong.
It wasn't until Zhang Yun ordered Buddha to imprison Sun Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years that they realized their mistake.
However, this is also for the best. Having lived through nine lifetimes, Jin Chanzi was eaten by Sha Wujing, and his fate was exactly the same. This can be considered a trial for Jin Chanzi.
It was precisely for this reason that the Jade Emperor resorted to the method of having ten thousand arrows pierce the heart in order to appease Sha Wujing.
It must be said that the Jade Emperor, as the ruler of Heaven, was quite ruthless.
"You know Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, right?" Zhang Yun asked again.
"I don't know why?" Guanyin asked.
Zhang Yun explained, "The Dragon King of the West Sea has a son who set fire to the luminous pearl in the palace. The Dragon King of the West Sea reported him to the Heavenly Court for his crime of disobedience. The Jade Emperor punished him with three hundred strokes of the cane on the spot, and he was executed soon after. After you subdue Sha Wujing, you should go and save him."
"Is he also one of the pilgrims?" Guanyin smiled, instantly understanding Zhang Yun's meaning.
“Xuanzang had to go through eighty-one tribulations on his journey to obtain the scriptures, and the journey was extremely long. How could an ordinary white horse possibly carry him the whole way without exhausting itself to death?” Zhang Yun laughed. “Therefore, the little white dragon can serve as Xuanzang’s mount and escort him all the way to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures.”
Guanyin nodded and agreed.
He knew that both the Curtain-Raising General and the White Dragon had committed offenses and were being punished by the Heavenly Court. However, they had just been escorting Xuanzang on his pilgrimage. All of this seemed like a coincidence, but the reason behind it was probably only known to the great god before him.
Perhaps, both General Curtain-Rolling and Little White Dragon were manipulated and arranged by the great god Zhang Yun.
This was all arranged by Zhang Yun, of course.
Whether it's General Curtain-Rolling, Marshal Tianpeng, or the White Dragon Horse, they all share a common mission.
To restrain and monitor Sun Wukong!
However, they were unaware of each other's shared mission, which to some extent reduced the chances of the matter being exposed, preventing Sun Wukong from discovering anything amiss.
Guanyin dared not delay Zhang Yun's plan, so she took Muzha Huian Xingzhe and went to Liusha River.
Watching Guanyin's departing figure, Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. Calculating the time, it would be about eighteen years before Guanyin entered Chang'an.
By then, it will be time for Tang Xuanzang to avenge his father.
Having arranged everything, Zhang Yun was about to leave the Journey to the West world to explore other inner worlds when he bumped into an old Taoist priest with white eyebrows.
"Immortal, where are you going?" The white-browed Taoist looked at Zhang Yun with a half-smile, which made Zhang Yun smile awkwardly.
"It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by."
"Since the immortal is so free, why not come and sit in my Tushita Palace?" the white-browed old Taoist said with a mysterious smile, which made Zhang Yun feel a little uneasy.
"I have important matters to attend to, maybe next time," Zhang Yun smiled and declined, then quickly got up and left.
With Laozi's level of cultivation, any other immortal or deity would not have been able to escape his grasp, but unfortunately, that person happened to be Zhang Yun.
Looking in the direction where Zhang Yun disappeared, Laozi angrily flicked his whisk, snorted coldly, and said, "You're lucky you ran fast."
Zhang Yun was in such a hurry to leave because he knew why Laozi had suddenly come to his door.
Sun Wukong ate his golden pill like candy and, seemingly by chance, developed the Fiery Eyes of Truth. After Laozi of Mount Tai realized what was going on, how could he not know what was happening?
When I opened my eyes and returned to the main world I was in, several days had passed.
Ye Qianzhi and Zhuo Xinyan did not disappoint him either. They recruited very capable construction workers to transform the Brocade Valley into a magnificent and imposing place. The place where Zhang Yun was located was the Heavenly Palace.
Of course, there's also Ye Qianzhi's Qingxin Palace and Zhuo Xinyan's Wuqing Palace.
It is precisely because the swordsmanship taught by Zhang Yun is the ruthless swordsmanship that the Ruthless Hall got its name.
"Master."
Upon being summoned by Zhang Yun, Zhuo Xinyan immediately went to the Hall of All Heavens and bowed in greeting.
"Sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, not bad." Zhang Yun saw through Zhuo Xinyan's actual cultivation level at a glance and nodded.
The fact that Zhuo Xinyan advanced from the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm to the sixth level in such a short time is enough to show how extraordinary her talent is.
"Master, you flatter me. Xin Yan was merely lucky," Zhuo Xin Yan said modestly. "May I ask why Master summoned me here?"
"As a sword cultivator, you should know what one of the most important things is for a sword cultivator?" Zhang Yun asked with a smile.
When Zhang Yun suddenly asked this question, Zhuo Xinyan thought he was testing her, but she didn't know what her master meant, so she hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly, "Character?"
