Chapter 239 Old Monkey is Here
Although the Heavenly Demon fled in defeat, the demon soldiers and warriors on the banks of the Shu River still surged in like a tide. The dark blue-green troops spread out on the riverbank, their roars drowning out the rapids of the river.

Lingjizi, whisk in hand, frowned as he looked at the densely packed demon soldiers before him. "We can't seal off the Shu River!" He turned to Shen Anzhi and said, "If we cut off their retreat, the demon soldiers will fight with their backs to the river, and our losses will be even greater. The demon soldiers of the Demon Realm are endless; we just need to drive them out of Bashu and guard the border!"

Shen Anzhi nodded, gripped the Demon-Slaying Sword, and was about to charge forward when Tuan Tuan beneath him suddenly stopped, its round head looking southwest, its nose twitching.

"Tuanbao, what's wrong? Charge!" Shen Anzhi patted its neck, his tone slightly reproachful. Right now was the crucial moment to eliminate the demon soldiers, and they couldn't afford to delay.

"Mom, Monkey is here!" Tuantuan suddenly exclaimed, her voice full of surprise.

Upon hearing the words "Monkey Cousin," Shen Anzhi was immediately enraged: "It's that mischievous monkey who bewitched you again! Ignore him, let's kill the demon soldiers!"

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar came from afar. It wasn't the howl of the demon soldiers, but the cry of monkeys!
Shen Anzhi looked up and saw that on the hillside to the southwest, countless monkeys were rushing towards the Shu River, numbering in the tens of thousands! The leader of the monkeys was wearing silver armor inlaid with red gems, and held a jet-black iron rod in his hand. He was tall and straight with sharp eyes. It was none other than the monkey who had bewitched Tuantuan into starting a business.

Behind it followed familiar figures: the plump Aunt Pig carrying a machete, the snow-white pheasant spreading its wings, and the group of beastmen who had once "started a business" with Tuantuan, including Little Squirrel and Second Brother Rabbit... all dressed in simple armor, following behind Old Monkey with imposing manner.

"Brother Monkey? What brings you here?" Tuan Tuan stared wide-eyed at Brother Monkey in disbelief. Although he used to be clever, he had a bit of a rascal air about him. Now, wearing armor and holding an iron rod, he had a kingly demeanor.

Old Monkey leaped onto a rock, twirling his iron rod and smashing it, sending sparks flying. "I heard there's fighting in Qiang City, so I brought my brothers from Mount Emei to help!" He looked down at Tuan Tuan, a smile playing on his lips. "What? Don't you recognize me? I'm the Monkey King of Mount Emei now!"

"The Monkey King?" Tuan Tuan was even more surprised: "You...you really defeated the old Monkey King?"

Upon hearing this, the old monkey's gaze gradually became distant, as if lost in memories: "I've rebelled against the old monkey king nearly 90 times." He paused, his voice tinged with emotion: "For the first eighty-odd times, I was beaten black and blue by the old monkey king each time, and many of my brothers were killed or injured. Later, the old monkey king got frustrated. Seeing me get up again and again, he even asked me privately if he was really getting old and it was time for him to give up his position."

"During the last rebellion, I didn't bring any brothers. I went to the Monkey King's cave all by myself with just a stick." Old Monkey gripped his iron stick tightly, his tone becoming heavy. "I told the old Monkey King that either he would kill me, or I would kill him. I was determined to get the throne. The old Monkey King stared at me for a long time before I realized that his eyes no longer held their former majesty, but were full of exhaustion, as if he had depression. Hahahahahaha."

"And then what happened?" Tuantuan asked eagerly.

"Later..." Old Monkey sighed, "The old monkey king didn't make a move. In front of all the monkeys, he said that he was too old to guard Mount Emei, and then... then he smashed his head against the cave wall and died."

At this point, a complex look flashed in Old Monkey's eyes: "Although I have obtained the throne, I always feel that this throne is too heavy. However, I swear that I will guard Mount Emei and not let my brothers be bullied. This time, when the demon army attacked Mount Emei, I led the orc group to defend it for three days and three nights. After driving away the demon army, I immediately led my brothers to Qiang City!" Shen Anzhi, who was listening from the side, heard everything clearly. Recalling how Old Monkey had previously incited Tuantuan to "never be a slave" and encouraged it to leave him, he was immediately furious: "You naughty monkey! You dared to incite Tuantuan to leave me before, and now you dare to come here?"

Old Monkey remained unperturbed, glancing at Shen Anzhi and then at Tuantuan: "Miss Shen, you can't say that. Tuantuan is a mighty iron-eating beast, a descendant of an ancient divine beast. Making it a mount is beneath it!" It shook its head regretfully: "If it were with me, it would be the leader of the beastman group now. Why would it need to carry people into battle every day?"

"You!" Shen Anzhi trembled with anger, but there was nothing he could do. Right now, he needed manpower. Monkey Lao Biao had brought tens of thousands of monkey soldiers. If they fell out, it would be detrimental to the elimination of the demon soldiers.

Seeing this, Aunt Pig quickly tried to smooth things over: "Miss Shen, don't take this monkey to heart! We should kill the demon soldiers first! There's a demon formation ahead, and the demon soldiers are hiding inside. Let's rush in together and drive them away!"

The eldest silver pheasant flapped its wings and said, "Yes, one more person means one more strength!"

Tuantuan couldn't contain itself any longer. Upon hearing "slay the demon soldiers," it excitedly pawed at its hooves and urged Shen Anzhi, "Mom, let's charge with Monkey Cousin!" Before Shen Anzhi could respond, it pushed off with all four hooves, carrying Shen Anzhi towards the demon formation.

Seeing this, Monkey Brother's eyes flashed with a smile. He swung his iron rod and shouted to the monkey soldiers behind him, "Brothers, follow me and kill! Let these demon soldiers see how powerful our Emei Mountain monkey troop is!"

Tens of thousands of monkeys roared in unison, following their monkey brethren as they charged into the demon formation. Some monkeys wielded stone axes, hacking at the demon soldiers; others nimbly climbed onto the demon soldiers' shoulders, scratching their eyes with their claws; still others threw pre-prepared fireballs into the demon formation.

Old Monkey showed his true colors as the Monkey King, wielding his iron rod with great force, each swing sending several demon soldiers flying. He moved nimbly through the demon formation, immediately rushing to the rescue of any trapped monkey soldiers he encountered.

Riding on Tuantuan, Shen Anzhi worked in coordination with his monkey cousin within the demon formation. Tuantuan used its "Diamond Armor" to break through the demon soldiers' defenses, while Shen Anzhi used his demon-slaying sword to kill any that slipped through the net. The man, the monkey, and the beast worked together with remarkable synergy.

Looking at the scene before him, Lingjizi smiled with satisfaction. The former "problem child" Tuantuan had now become a formidable force capable of standing on his own; the monkey brother who had once misled Tuantuan had also become a warrior protecting Bashu. Bashu was able to resist the demonic soldiers not only because of the power of the cultivators, but also because of these seemingly ordinary yet righteous beings who worked together to protect their homeland.

Under the combined attack of the monkey troop and Shen Anzhi, the demon soldiers in the demon formation gradually collapsed and fled towards the opposite bank of the Shu River. Monkey Lao Biao chased them to the riverbank, pointed his iron rod at the fleeing soldiers' backs, and shouted loudly, "Tell your Heavenly Demon that if it dares to come to Bashu again, I, Monkey Lao Biao, will definitely break its legs!"

Shen Anzhi rode Tuantuan, standing beside Monkey Laobiao, watching the defeated demon soldiers, her anger gradually dissipating. She glanced at the spirited Monkey Laobiao beside her, then patted Tuantuan's head, and suddenly felt that perhaps some companions, even those who had conflicts in the past, could become the most reliable comrades-in-arms in the face of the greater good of protecting their homeland.
