Chapter 92 Subjugation of seven Sprites Firstly Wu Ji and Nangong Kuo allowed King Wu and Ziya go through the pass as a bait. Next they ordered to the army roll logs and rocks down to block Wu Wenhua's way out of the ravine. As soon Wu chased them, he became trapped in the valley and then the soldiers ignited the fire scorching the giant Wu Wenhua to death. A pig sprite shape-shifted as human arrived to join Yuan Hong, the monkey sprite. He was called Zhu Zizhen, who was also a monk. When Yang Bliss confronted Zhu Zizhen, Yang Bliss, suspecting the monk, took his Demon-Reflecting Mirror to see Zhu's original form, but then pig sprite promptly swallow Yang Bliss. Later when Yuan Hong and the pig-monk Zhu Zizhen were having a banquet to celebrate the victory over Yang Bliss, another entity, came in. He was Yang Xian, a goat sprite in human form. But then Yang Bliss, who was within Zhu Zizhen's stomach, rebuked the pig for eating too many people, and gripped tightly and sharply his liver and heart. Zhu Zizhen, under extreme pain, pleaded for mercy. Yang demanded him to shape-shift to his original form and reveal himself to Ziya. Inflicted by the pangs Zhu Zizhen walked to Ziya. Once there at Ziya's camp, when Nangong Kuo saw the huge pig coming in, he promptly beheaded the sprite. Then another entity joined Yuan Hong. This time he was a dog sprite called Dai Li. The three sprites raided out to revenge Zhu Zizhen's death, but Yang Bliss and Nezha killed the dog Dai Li and the goat Yang Xian. Next, the ox sprite called Dasheng, who had slayed Zheng Lun in a battle, came to help Yuan Hong. Once Yang Bliss came to wrestle the ox sprite, Nu Wa appeared from the air to fasten the sprite. Her maid-attendant used a rope to tie Dasheng's nose and to beat on his back. Thus the sprite Dasheng shape-shifted back into a giant ox and Nu Wa delivered the ox to Yang Bliss, who brought it to Ziya to cut his head off. That night, Ziya propelled an attack that smashed the defense of the monkey-sprite Yuan Hong. But Yuan Hong's fight resisted fiercely against Yang Bliss. All the time Yuan shape-shifted into something new. As counterpart Yang Bliss also shape-shifted into a rival of each form, so he stalled Yuan. Yuan withdrew to a mountain and convoked his little monkeys to help. Yang could not match the thousand monkeys, and only could scape using his magic. Nu Wa appeared up and delivered to Yang a map of the Mount-river Plum. Then she taught him the spell to make it to work. Thus as soon as Yang hanged the map on a tree, it changed into a mountain. Seeing the mountain, the seventh and final sprite, the monkey Yuan thought the mountain as any other and went to climb it up.
