Chapter 578: Chapter 578 Protective rit Golden Light (4th Update!) Chapter 578: Chapter 578 Protective rit Golden Light (4th Update!) Yuan Hong, being a Through-Arm Ape Monkey and having mastered the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, had mastered seventy-two transformations. As a spiritual monkey, his mind was sharp. He soon tricked the Golden-Horned King and the Silver-Horned King out of their Magical Treasures, the Purple Gold Gourd and the Mutton-Fat Jade Bottle. However, he was smarter than Sun Wukong had been in the past; he didn’t let the two demons go back. Of course, he didn’t kill them either, as Sun Wukong had instructed Yuan Hong not to harm the demons along the road of scripture seeking. Therefore, all Yuan Hong did was knock the two small demons unconscious.
Using a few strands of monkey hair, he transford to look like the small demons, had them carry fake Purple Gold Gourd and Mutton-Fat Jade Bottle back to their cave, claiming they hadn’t found Yuan Hong, and then Yuan Hong himself followed closely and appeared at the entrance of the Lotus Cave, hurling insults.
The Silver-Horned King, unaware of the trick, took out the Purple Gold Gourd to confront him but ended up being sucked into it by Yuan Hong.
Just as the Golden-Horned King was about to be captured, the Grand Supre Elderly Lord appeared, revealed their human forms with his usual carefree script, and decided to take them back to the Heavenly Court.
If things had only gone that far, the trouble at Mount Flat Peak would have ended there, but just as the Grand Supre Elderly Lord was taking the Golden and Silver Horned Kings away, trouble arose again.
“Om!”
A strange force fluctuated at the foot of the other side of Mount Flat Peak. Sun Wukong was in mid-air conversing with the Grand Supre Elderly Lord when he sensed this force and his expression suddenly changed.
“Such heavy demonic qi! Not good!”
After bowing to the Grand Supre Elderly Lord, Sun Wukong turned into a streak of golden light and rushed toward the source of the demonic qi.
“The fate of the heavens is shifting, this journey to the West for scriptures seems likely to encounter nurous difficulties, enough to keep this young Sun busy!”
The Grand Supre Elderly Lord watched Sun Wukong’s departing golden light, shook his head with a sigh, and continued flying towards the Heavenly Court on a cloud with two disciples. Not long ago, he had slashed away the Third Corpse – Corpse of Desire, and it was now a crucial ti to unite the Three Corpses into the Dao. To him, the rit from the journey to the West was just a bonus, and he had no ti to be as devoted as Sun Wukong.
The Grand Supre Elderly Lord was well aware of Sun Wukong’s intentions; even without asking, he knew Sun Wukong must have tampered with the scripture-seeking team, otherwise he wouldn’t have exerted so much effort.
No matter, it was Sun Wukong’s opportunity to fight for; at the level of the Grand Supre Elderly Lord, what he pursued was the Supre Great Dao like the Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, not concerning himself with the affairs of the Three Realms as much as the Ancestral Buddha and others did.
By the ti Sun Wukong arrived at the foot of Mount Flat Peak, he saw Yuan Hong, Zhu Bajie, Sandy Monk, and the White Dragon Ao Lie, who had resud his dragon form, all embroiled in a fierce battle, their eyes red as if they were sworn enemies. The area was enshrouded in thick fog. Sun Wukong knew imdiately that they had been trapped in an illusory realm.
Where was Jiang Liu’er?
Activating his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, Sun Wukong looked through the fog and saw three spies from the Illusion Demon Clan attacking Jiang Liu’er.
The strength of the Illusion Demon Clan lies in their ability to cast illusion techniques, but their attack power was ordinary. These three Illusion Demons were only of Taiyi Scattered Immortal cultivation. If not for their illusion array that had confused Yuan Hong and his companions, Jiang Liu’er would not have found himself in trouble.
Unlike in his previous life, Jiang Liu’er was no longer the powerless chatty monk; facing the attack of the Illusion Demon Clan, Jiang Liu’er had no choice but to use the Imasurable rit Determination. A circle of rit Golden Light surged around him, firmly blocking the illusion technique outside. The three Illusion Demon Clan mbers furiously attacked for a long ti but couldn’t break through the defenses of the rit Golden Light.
“Damn it, isn’t this monk a re mortal? How can he have such strong protective golden light?”
“The information was wrong. This Tang Seng is not at all an ordinary person. With such defensive abilities, he might already be on par with a Taiyi Golden Immortal!”
The three mbers of the Illusion Demon Clan grew more alard as they fought. They had co prepared, having laid an ambush here, and had managed to trap Yuan Hong and the others by taking advantage of a mont when their guard was down. They had thought that once Yuan Hong and his group were trapped, capturing Jiang Liu’er would be easy. However, reality struck them like a harsh slap in the face. If they continued to delay and Yuan Hong and his group managed to break free, their efforts would be in vain!
“Increase the attack power; we must break through this protective golden light; otherwise, if soone cos to their rescue, all our efforts will be wasted!”
Just as the three Illusion Demon Clan mbers were about to increase their attack power to shatter Jiang Liu’er’s Protective rit Golden Light, suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky, instantly pressing them all to the ground. Their bones creaked ominously, as if they were about to be crushed by this trendous force.
“Your old Sun seed to have said before, anyone who dares to disrupt the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures will face my wrath, right? You mbers of the Demon Clan really never change!”
Sun Wukong’s cold voice fell from the sky, accompanied by an even stronger pressure that suddenly pressed down on the three Illusion Demon Clan spies. The three didn’t even have ti to groan before they were directly crushed into dust.
“Phew~!”
Jiang Liu’er dispelled the Protective rit Golden Light and weakly stood up. He bowed to Sun Wukong and said with relief, “Great Saint, thank goodness you arrived in ti. Otherwise, I fear my chances today would have been slim!”
In the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures up to now, Jiang Liu’er had slowly started to understand the pattern. Every divine or demon attack on him was a predetermined trial on the path of seeking scriptures, unavoidable and necessarily harmless, as he just needed to wait for Yuan Hong and the others to rescue him. But whenever the Demon Clan intervened, it was genuinely dangerous, potentially life-threatening!
That’s why, when he was captured by the Silver Horn King, Jiang Liu’er did not reveal his cultivation strength and didn’t even resist, because he didn’t sense any demonic qi from the Silver Horn King. His conjecture turned out to be correct; the Silver Horn King and the Golden Horn King were but transformations of the Grand Supre Elderly Lord’s alchemical child. However, the sudden appearance of the three Illusion Demon Clan spies was different.
Jiang Liu’er had already experienced being kidnapped by spies from the Black Demon Clan once before and barely escaped being sent to the Demonic Realm to lose his life. This ti, sensing sothing was off, he imdiately activated the Protective rit Golden Light. He blocked the assault of the illusion array and held on until Sun Wukong’s arrival, which might have been too late otherwise.
“What are we doing?”
“Where’s the master?”
“Ao Lie, how did you turn back into dragon form?”
With the three Illusion Demon Clan spies eliminated by Sun Wukong and their illusion array losing power and gradually dissipating, Yuan Hong and the others, who had been trapped in an illusory realm, regained their senses.
