Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1296 - Friends in the past are now enemies

Just as Chu Hao was contemplating how to properly deal with the Great Sun Tathagata, he saw someone unexpected—or rather, a dragon.

Chu Hao had been watching the Journey to the West from the distant depths of space, thousands of miles away, because before he could take action, he wasn't in a hurry to reveal himself.

But it was precisely because Chu Hao stood high and saw far that he noticed the dragon that shouldn't have been there.

Moreover, what surprised Chu Hao even more was that the dragon possessed an unusual aura!

It was demonic energy.

Chu Hao stroked his chin and fell into thought.

"Could it be that the Demon Clan has also secretly played some tricks? It must be."

"Oh, I see. It seems I underestimated my good brother's intelligence. He has indeed grown up and become skilled at scheming."

"If I hadn't happened to notice the arrival of this dragon, I might have been caught in their trap."

"It seems I should remain still for now, or perhaps wait to add fuel to the fire."

When Chu Hao saw the dragon with its barely concealed demonic energy, he instantly changed many of his thoughts.

However, even if the Demon Clan had indeed harbored some malicious intentions, it wouldn't have much impact on Chu Hao.

It's just a matter of adding a few more people to the table. Anyway, they're all here to deliver dishes, so bring it on!

Chu Hao's deep eyes stared at the Journey to the West, and as he looked at the mixed bag of characters, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting things are about to happen."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. But I am the one who eats the roasted oriole."

Chu Hao secretly hid nearby and began to prepare. Adding fuel to the fire and fanning the flames were things he was most familiar with, but we won't mention that for now.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong and his companions were extremely annoyed. After all, they had been robbed of Tang Sanzang by an unknown little demon, especially with the Western Heavens helping in the robbery. It was truly infuriating.

But they still chose to proceed step by step, although they wanted to rebel against the Western Heavens, they knew they couldn't do it on their own.

They believed that Chu Hao was watching the Journey to the West.

Just as Chu Hao had instructed before, they only needed to keep moving forward, and the righteous Law Enforcement God would guide them.

Sun Wukong also knew what to do next, as he was already familiar with the routine.

Sun Wukong stomped his foot.

Therefore, Sun Wukong also knew that if he wanted to know the next task, he only needed to follow the information given by the Mountain God, but that would only make him like a puppet on a string.

The Mountain God had been waiting respectfully nearby for a long time, but after waiting a little longer, he pretended to rush out anxiously.

"Great Sage, Great Sage! This little god has arrived!"

Before long, thirty Mountain Gods arrived, covered in dust.

Sun Wukong frowned.

"Why are there so many Mountain Gods and Earth Gods? Are you starting a rebellion here?"

The Mountain Gods panicked. The leading Mountain God stepped forward, trembling, and said:

"Reporting to the Great Sage, this mountain is called Six Hundred Li Drill Mountain. We are ten li per Mountain God, ten li per Earth God, totaling thirty Mountain Gods and thirty Earth Gods.

Yesterday, we heard that the Great Sage was coming, but we couldn't gather in time, so we were late, causing the Great Sage to be angry. Please forgive us."

Although he knew that they had all been bought by the Western Heavens and had been waiting nearby for a long time, Sun Wukong didn't plan to take his anger out on these weaklings.

"Just tell me directly, what is the origin of that demon? How should he be dealt with?"

Sun Wukong spoke very directly, like an impatient teenager fast-forwarding through a browser.

The Mountain Gods hesitated. The leading Mountain God had a flattering look on his face.

"Great Sage, what are you talking about? This little god doesn't understand…"

However, Sun Wukong directly stabbed through the leading Mountain God's shoulder with his staff, staring coldly at the Mountain God.

"Don't pretend with Old Sun anymore. Speak directly. Dare to say one word of refusal, and you die!"

Sun Wukong's endless demonic aura surged, and the Mountain Gods were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they all knelt down.

How could they, a mere group of Human Immortals, withstand Sun Wukong's majesty?

The leading Mountain God dared not act anymore and quickly said honestly:

"There is a stream in this mountain called Dry Pine Stream. Beside the stream is a cave called Fire Cloud Cave. The demon lives inside. He stirs up trouble here and eats countless people.

He is the son of the Bull Demon King, raised by Princess Iron Fan. He cultivated the Samadhi Fire on Flaming Mountain for three hundred years, and his magical powers are vast. The Bull Demon King sent him to guard Drill Mountain. His childhood name is Red Boy, and he is called the Holy Infant King."

"Great Sage, if you want to save your master, you need to defeat Red Boy and make him convert to Buddhism."

Pigsy looked at Sun Wukong and smiled:

"Brother Monkey, so this is your nephew, the Bull Demon King's son. No wonder he is so arrogant and domineering."

Sun Wukong twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What's the use? When Old Sun was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years, I never saw anyone come to bring me a bowl of water or a piece of meat. It's all dog-shit friendship."

"But this little brat is indeed arrogant. It's a pity that I'm not allowed to kill him, otherwise, I would definitely let him know what a loving iron rod is!"

The leading Mountain God even took out the script for the later part, hinting to Sun Wukong that Red Boy was someone the Western Heavens wanted, and he could only be beaten, not killed.

Sun Wukong and the others were so angry that their teeth itched. This Western Heaven was still so shameless!

Faced with such shamelessness, Sun Wukong really didn't want to indulge them.

But thinking about it now, it seemed that there was no way to break the situation. He could only hope that Chu Hao could help him keep an eye on things, otherwise, where could he go to complain about this loss!

Sun Wukong was really helpless and could only wave his hand.

"Forget it, let's go to the Fire Cloud Cave first and meet that Red Boy. Anyway, we'll take it one step at a time."

Everyone also knew that Red Boy was now protected by the Western Heavens and his arrogance was rampant, so they could only endure it for now.

Without saying a word, the three of them came to the Fire Cloud Cave.

As they approached the front of the door, they saw a stone tablet with eight large characters engraved on it, which read "Drill Mountain Dry Pine Stream Fire Cloud Cave."

A group of little demons were there, twirling spears and dancing swords, playing and having fun.

Sun Wukong didn't plan to greet them at all. Without saying a word, he took out his golden cudgel.

"Take a blow from Old Sun!"

The group of little demons didn't even have time to react before they were directly annihilated by Sun Wukong's swinging cudgel!

They never expected that Sun Wukong would be so violent.

Their king had confidently told them before that as long as their master was in the Fire Cloud Cave, they would be hesitant and wouldn't harm any demons in the Fire Cloud Cave.

But now…

The truth is that reality turns people into meat paste!

At this moment, Tang Sanzang, who was tied up in the Fire Cloud Cave, suddenly opened a pair of eyes flashing with demonic energy!
