Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

"Ptuh!" Sha Wujing picked up his weapon and charged into battle.

The White Dragon Horse followed, shouting, "Go get 'em, Old Sha!"

Then, that creature turned around and bolted...

Seeing this, other minor demons wanted to give chase, but sadly, they were just minor demons. Even an underachieving Crown Prince from the Dragon Palace was out of their league in terms of speed, not so bright maybe, but those legs definitely worked.

And just like that, he was gone in the blink of an eye...

Looking at the other side, Sha Wujing was all bluster and fury, causing quite a storm!

He was crouching on the ground, holding his head while the yellow-robed fiend pummeled him without mercy...

Eventually, the fiend waved his hand, and a group of minor demons carried Sha Wujing back to the Moon Wave Cave.

Meanwhile, the White Dragon Horse was hiding far away, watching the scene unfold, exclaiming, "I knew Old Sha couldn't handle it, good thing I ran fast."

But even the White Dragon Horse was anxious now, with both his brothers captured, leaving him alone; there wasn't much he could do.

"Oh well, I'll wait for Big Brother or Master to come back, and then... um... I want to eat that demon's hooves; they look quite tasty." After declaring this, the carefree horse meandered on the mountain, picking fennel one moment, digging up star anise the next, and started preparing spices right there.

Elsewhere, the yellow-robed fiend had tied up Sha Wujing and Zhu Ganglie together, and as he lay down, a beautiful woman emerged from the cave, glanced at Sha Wujing and Zhu Ganglie in surprise, then tenderly leaned toward the fiend asking, "Husband, why did you capture two monks out of the blue?"

The fiend, cradling the woman, laughed and said, "Dear, they were not all captured; that portly one came right to our doorstep."

The woman exclaimed, "There's such a fool?"

The fiend chuckled, "Indeed…"

Zhu Ganglie stayed quiet but his roving eyes sized up the woman, seemingly deep in thought.

The fiend, holding his wife tenderly, said, "Dear, these two are not ordinary; their flesh is rare, and a pot of it could probably extend your life by a decade or two, no problem."

The woman had yet to respond when Zhu Ganglie's eyes sparkled, and he scoffed, "What a backwoods demon!"

The fiend furrowed his brow, "Zhu Ganglie, what did you say?"

Zhu Ganglie said, "You old yellow robe, aren't you just trying to prolong this mortal woman's life? Have you ever heard the saying?"

The fiend raised his eyebrows, "What saying?"

Zhu Ganglie said, "Eating the flesh of Tang Sanzang grants immortality!"

"Tang Sanzang's flesh?" The fiend narrowed his eyes, "It has that effect?"

Hearing this, Sha Wujing grew anxious immediately, blurting out, "Second Brother, how could you mention Master? Master is just a common man, powerless... By saying this, aren't you putting Master in danger?"

Zhu Ganglie said, "Without us, with his meager skills, could he really continue the journey west? Sooner or later, he'd become food for demons anyway. It might as well be for saving our lives—better us than outsiders, right?"

"Nonsense!"

Sha Wujing rebuked angrily.

As the two bickered, the previously skeptical fiend suddenly seemed convinced, waving his hand and ordered, "Take this Sha Wujing away; he's just in the way here!"

A group of little demons came over and directly dragged away the constantly roaring Zhu Ganglie, who isn't human, along with the monk.

Without Sha Wujing shouting about at the side, the cave also became much quieter.

The yellow-robed monster asked, "Zhu Ganglie, your master, could he be called Tang Sanzang?"

Zhu Ganglie frowned and said, "Which 'Zang'?"

"Well, the 'Zang' as in saffron, what else would it be?" the yellow-robed monster said incredulously, with a bemused chuckle.

Zhu Ganglie shook his head and said, "Oh, that's not it!"

The yellow-robed monster laughed, "What? Have a change of heart?

So, this pig-headed one wants to protect his master now?

Do you know what I'm doing here? Although I didn't know eating Monk Tang's flesh would grant everlasting life, I'm just waiting here to eat Tang Sanzang! But I'm lazy by nature, if you hadn't come, I wouldn't bother if you just slipped past quietly. But since you stumbled into my lair, and his flesh has the effect of granting immortality, it's only right for me to eat him, such is his fate!"

Zhu Ganglie sincerely said, "He really is not called Tang Sanzang."

The yellow-robed monster was taken aback, muttering to himself, "Not Tang Sanzang? Could the information be wrong? Impossible... it was agreed before coming down here... could he have changed his name?

Curious, the yellow-robed monster asked, "If he's not called Tang Sanzang, what is he called?"

Zhu Ganglie slightly raised the corner of his mouth, cleared his throat, and said, "Listen well, my master is none other than the bald great demon king transformed from the Luminous Pearl, known as Tang the Bald!"

The yellow-robed monster was no fool and waved his hand, "Nonsense, he's clearly the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada. How could he become a Night Pearl Essence? And Tang the Bald... who names like that?

Zhu Ganglie snorted, "If you don't believe me, stand at the door and shout out. Just try and see if he responds. My master has gone out, if he comes back and hears you calling him, he will surely reply."

The yellow-robed monster thought about it for a moment and mumbled to himself, "According to the script's setup, the Golden Cicada is just an ordinary person, Marshal Canopy's strength is also mediocre, Sun Wukong is absent, the Little White Dragon is useless, the Five Protectors, the Four Deputies, the eighteen Arhats, the Six Ding and Six Jia celestial warriors can't show up to help, they can only cast spells secretly..."

With this in mind, I'm not afraid.

"Hmm... yelling out shouldn't be a big deal."

So, the yellow-robed monster waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, alright, I'll shout. I really want to see if it's actually Tang Sanzang or Tang the Bald! Underlings, carry this Zhu Ganglie in for me, once I capture all of their disciples, we'll eat meat and drink together!

The little demons cheered in unison.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie put up a token struggle then was directly lifted horizontally by those little demons and carried into the cave.

Along the way, Zhu Ganglie threatened, "Even though my mana has been sealed, I still have methods. You'd better lock me up tightly; otherwise, if I get out, I'll surely kill you all." Your journey continues with empire

A few little demons had witnessed Zhu Ganglie's methods before; although not as powerful as the yellow-robed monster, they were still not something these little demons could handle.

Hearing this, a few guys discussed it and finally decided to lock him in the deepest dungeon. There was a large formation sealing it, with forbidding stones both inside and outside, extremely solid.

For extra safety, they also locked Sha Wujing in with him.

As the door closed, the two guys inside exchanged glances...

"Second brother, did it work?"

"Junior brother Sha, you played it so well, he had to believe it. Let's wait and see... and collect his corpse later..."
