Finally, an exit found!
The Demon King of Chaos was excited, when a banana peel flew over, landing on the Demon King of Chaos’s head, yet he felt no anger whatsoever, but only stared blankly as the noisy sounds in the distance faded away.
It was only then that he realized that he and the two Bodhisattvas had been trapped here for several months, only a few hundred meters away from the cave dwelling of Sun Wukong.
Apparently, they had been only a kilometer away to begin with, yet these many months had passed without being able to truly reach the front of Sun Wukong’s cave dwelling.
Unexpectedly, it was only after both Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva had collapsed that he finally truly found the direction of Sun Wukong’s cave dwelling.
“It’s the Demon King of Chaos!”
“It’s the Demon King of Chaos!”
As the Demon King of Chaos approached, many monkeys had already spotted him approaching them.
This was the terrifying being who had taken over their cave dwelling.
With the Great King’s return, who had not only reopened the cave dwelling but also set up a formation outside it.
And this cave dwelling was no worse than the Water Curtain Cave.
These monkeys and their offspring had thought that they could finally rest easy here, but they hadn’t expected that in just a short time, they would see this terrifying Demon King again.
Looking like he was about to attack.
“Great King, Great King, it’s terrible, the Demon King of Chaos is attacking our door!”
One after another, the monkeys scrambled to the cave dwelling where Sun Wukong was.
Although the Demon King of Chaos was still in the formation and couldn’t see the monkeys’ reactions clearly, he could guess what these monkeys were doing.
They ran?
In the face of such a formidable enemy, they didn’t resist, but just ran away?
Could these monkeys really be so afraid of him? fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“It seems I’ve overestimated Sun Wukong.
Perhaps this Sun Wukong is just the same, maybe he didn’t even set up this formation.
If he had such great power, he would have sought revenge by now, instead of hiding and not bothering to come after me!”
At this moment, a smile appeared on the Demon King of Chaos’s face.
He took the banana peel off from the top of his head and slammed it heavily on the ground, then picked up the long knife and slung it over his shoulder.
“Once I kill Sun Wukong, I’ll be through this ordeal!
I won’t have to be watched by those two bald donkeys any longer!”
The Demon King of Chaos knew he was a puppet, a tool used by the two monks to deal with Sun Wukong.
As long as Sun Wukong was dead, the two bald donkeys naturally wouldn’t have to keep an eye on him.
Meanwhile, inside Sun Wukong’s cave dwelling.
Sun Wukong was initially cultivating when he suddenly heard the anxious voices of the monkeys, immediately opened his eyes, and looked at the panicked monkeys running inside.
“Great King, it’s terrible, the Demon King who snatched our cave dwelling has come to our door!”
“Great King, what do we do?”
“Great King, let’s run!”
“…”
Hearing the many monkeys speaking, Sun Wukong was startled.
Although he had anticipated that there were people behind this Demon King of Chaos, he didn’t expect them to come so soon.
And to have so easily broken through the formation he had painstakingly set up; it was clear that the person behind the Demon King of Chaos was not weak, which made him even more relieved that he hadn’t acted rashly.
Looking at the chaotic monkeys in the cave dwelling, Sun Wukong turned his head and said to the old monkey, “Marshal Ma, what’s your take on this?”
The elder monkey looked at the multitude of monkeys and monkey offspring, his face grim beyond measure, and said, “Great King, yielding again and again will only embolden that Demon King of Chaos to bully us with his power.
Why not take this opportunity to lead our monkeys and monkey offspring in a direct assault and eradicate this Demon King in one fell swoop?”
The elder monkey furrowed his brows and said with a fist to his chest.
Several years had passed since Sun Wukong last admonished that they should not act rashly.
Yet, the enemy still refused to leave them alone and even took the fight to their doorstep.
Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered before shaking his head, “Impossible, impossible!”
The elder monkey looked at Sun Wukong with a face full of surprise, and then with some hesitation, said, “Why?
Great King, the Demon King has already brought the fight to our door!”
They, too, could be considered as members of the Demon Race who had claimed a mountain as their king.
Now being bullied by other demons to this extent was something the elder monkey simply could not tolerate.
“Do you know what cultivation level the Demon King of Chaos has reached?”
Sun Wukong seemed completely unconcerned, instead replying with a smile.
“From what I’ve heard among the demons, this Demon King of Chaos possesses the cultivation of a celestial immortal and ranks among the Immortal Rank, but he chose to be a mountain king rather than pursue becoming an immortal!”
The elder monkey said with knitted brows.
The elder monkey was one of the Heaven and Earth Intelligent Monkeys, the Long-Armed Gibbon.
Although he could not rival Sun Wukong, who was born from the essence of heaven and earth, he was still an extraordinarily powerful monkey.
If he had the methods for cultivation, he would surely become a Demon King himself.
Now, Sun Wukong had brought back some cultivation techniques from the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, and the elder monkey’s cultivation level had nearly reached that of a Human Immortal; what’s more, he felt a sense of dread towards his Great King’s cultivation level.
He had his own gifts, and although their Great King currently only exuded the aura of a Human Immortal, he could sense that their Great King’s true strength must far exceed that, unfathomable as it was.
With such strength, he should be able to annihilate this Demon King of Chaos, yet now they were avoiding combat, which he truly could not comprehend.
“Indeed, his aura is merely that of a celestial immortal, but do you realize how strong the formation I have arranged is?”
“I do not!”
The elder monkey shook his head; he had no understanding of formations.
“The formation I, Old Sun, have set up is from the dwelling of an Immortal, and only a Daluo Golden Immortal could break it.
Yet now, this Demon King of Chaos has managed to break through these formations with mere celestial immortal cultivation.
Do you realize what that implies?”
Sun Wukong looked at the many monkeys and monkey offspring and slowly began to ask.
And his current appearance was almost the same as when Wang Yang hoodwinked Sun Wukong in the past.
As for the formations, he did not mention his senior brother at all, nor the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, just attributing the knowledge to an Immortal’s dwelling.
What does it imply?
Upon hearing what Sun Wukong had said, the monkeys and monkey offspring all wore looks of astonishment, clueless as to what it meant.
“Great King, are you implying that there is someone behind this Demon King?”
The elder monkey, after all, had rich experience and conjectured at this time.
Hearing the elder monkey’s words, Sun Wukong nodded and then continued, “Exactly, it means that there is someone behind this Demon King of Chaos, and furthermore, they are powerful.
If your Great King were to slay this Demon King of Chaos, have you not considered what we would do if a retaliation from the mastermind behind this Demon King were to come our way?”
“You have not ventured out, unaware of how many masters there are in this world.
We might be able to claim Mount Huaguo as our kingdom, but in the entirety of the Three Realms, we are nothing but ants!”
Speaking thus, Sun Wukong sighed, as if recalling the scene where he was given the Demon-Subduing Pestle and encountered that terrifying master who could simply move a mountain to suppress him, not to mention other means at their disposal.
Afterward, he could not even fathom the depths of the Great Roc Ming King.
This was just from a single visit to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, where he encountered such a powerful being.
One can only imagine how perilous the Three Realms could be.
“The dangers of the Three Realms are beyond our imagination!”
