I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

Ning Chen's sentence.

"Generals Beng and Ba, it's been many years! How have you been? Do you still recognize me?"

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, it exploded loudly before the deathly silent and desolate Liangjie Mountain.

Luo Zhantian, Tang Hao, Sun Rongrong, and the others were instantly petrified.

Their minds went blank, and they thought they were hallucinating.

Ning Chen and this group of demonic monkeys, calling themselves "this king"?

He seemed to recognize these two ferocious-looking gibbon demons.

What did you say? Long time no see?

What exactly is going on?

Everyone secretly wondered if Ning Chen had lost his composure and started talking nonsense because he was frightened by the 100,000 demon monkeys.

That's an outrageous boast!

When did you become the king of these 100,000 demon monkeys?

However, something even more astonishing happened.

The once murderous and cold-blooded General Beng and General Ba trembled violently the moment they heard Ning Chen's words!

The violence and coldness on their two rugged ape faces vanished instantly.

Instead, there was surprise, excitement, and a hint of delight!

The two apes stared intently at Ning Chen with their large, bell-like eyes, as if trying to etch him into their gaze.

A suppressed growl escaped his throat, and the massive claws gripping the bronze rod trembled violently, the knuckles turning white from the force.

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and their hearts were filled with hope.

"It seems like Brother Ning really knows these monkey demons!"

"That's incredible, Brother Ning! How did he get to know all 100,000 monkey demons?"

"Great! Even a cook like me can have a chance to win without lifting a finger!"

On the human side, boundless hope arose in everyone's hearts!

Time stood still at this moment.

Just as a glimmer of hope began to rise in everyone's hearts, and they thought that Ning Chen really had the strategy in hand.

Just as he said, he was able to pass the third trial of Journey to the West without fighting.

Roar!

The gibbon on the left suddenly stood up straight and let out a short, suppressed roar.

His massive body, like a cannonball, left an afterimage in the instant!

The gibbon next to it followed closely behind!

The two demonic monkeys' target was Ning Chen, who was standing at the very front!

"Ning Chen, watch out!"

Sun Rongrong screamed.

"Brother Ning!"

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he instinctively wanted to rush forward.

"Stop! Let him go!"

Luo Zhantian roared, his body bursting with golden light, and rushed towards Ning Chen without regard for anything else.

However, everything happened too fast!

The two long-armed apes, already large in size and with long arms, grabbed Ning Chen with a swift movement of their left arm, so fast that no one could react in time!

The other one stood between the group and Ning Chen, cutting off their rescue efforts!

The two giant apes then walked into the 100,000 demon monkeys. The demon monkeys parted like a tide, then closed up again, completely blocking everyone's pursuit.

"Those two long-armed monkeys, put Ning Chen down!"

Luo Zhantian's aura surged, ready to lead everyone into the terrifying horde of demonic monkeys that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see!

"Wait! Teacher Luo! Don't be impulsive!"

Chen Feng held Luo Zhantian tightly, his eyes utterly calm.

"Something's not right. Look at Ning Chen! He didn't put up the slightest resistance from beginning to end!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled. They abruptly stopped in their tracks and carefully recalled everything that had just happened.

indeed!

With Ning Chen's strength, even though the two giant apes were extremely fast, there was no way he could be captured without any reaction.

Even now, when he thinks about it, it seems like Ning Chen was cooperating with the two giant apes, letting them take him away.

Luo Zhantian's chest heaved violently, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

He was, after all, a highly experienced grandmaster who had fought countless life-or-death battles, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"Everyone! Stay put! Do not move! Something is wrong!"

His voice was deep.

"Ning Chen deliberately allowed himself to be taken away by the two demonic monkeys; there must be a deeper meaning! Rushing in rashly will only cause trouble and might even cost him his life! Let's all wait here and trust Ning Chen!"

As everyone watched Ning Chen's figure disappear completely into the depths of the layered, ferocious monkey troop, their hearts leaped into their throats.

Sun Rongrong bit her lower lip tightly, while Tang Hao and the others clenched their fists. Although unwilling, they could only follow Luo Zhantian's orders, suppressing their inner anxiety, and form a defensive formation on the spot, watching warily as the 100,000 demon monkeys surrounded them but remained motionless for the time being.

……

General Beng ran at an astonishing speed, making even the rugged and treacherous rocky terrain of Liangjie Mountain seem like flat ground.

The wind whistled in Ning Chen's ears. He was protected against Beng General's chest and could feel the huge heart inside the other's chest beating heavily and rapidly.

"Second King, I have offended you!"

General Beng spoke in a very low voice, like muffled thunder rolling in his chest.

"We have no other choice! Only in this way can we avoid alerting the Five Directional Protectors! If we rashly acknowledge them, it might bring you great disaster!"

Ning Chen understood.

So that's how it is. Above these demonic clouds and malevolent aura, there really are hidden sentries from the Buddhist Heavenly Court.

His doubts deepened, and he asked.

"It's alright, General Beng. What exactly happened? Why aren't you enjoying yourselves on Flower Fruit Mountain? Why did you bring 100,000 monkey soldiers to suffer on this barren Two Realms Mountain? Where is my senior brother now?"

General Ba's voice came from the other side.

"Second King, it's a long story! Please be patient, the King is just ahead! Once you see him, everything will become clear!"

As they were talking, the two generals, Beng Ba and Ning Chen, arrived at a mountain hollow at the foot of Liangjie Mountain.

There are obvious signs of excavation here. A cave more than three meters high has been carved out of the black mountain wall. The entrance of the cave exudes a terrifying aura, as if some kind of ferocious beast is inside, emitting a low roar.

General Beng carefully put Ning Chen down and stood guard at the cave entrance with General Ba. The two giant apes, with their bodies resembling two small hills, completely blocked the cave entrance.

General Ba glanced directly at the cave entrance, clearly indicating that Ning Chen should go in on his own.

Ning Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the cave.

The cave was dimly lit, but a faint golden light emanated from its depths.

As his vision adjusted, Ning Chen finally saw the scene in the center of the cave.

A gaunt figure with dull, withered fur was firmly bound by several thick, golden chains that radiated a dazzling Buddhist light!

The end of the chain was deeply embedded in the mountain wall, and a thick pillar pierced through his shoulder blades, pinning him firmly to the spot!

The figure lowered its head, and its once fiery golden eyes had now become dull and lifeless.

As Ning Chen approached, the figure seemed to sense something and struggled to raise its head.

A haggard, almost unrecognizable face with a gritty grin came into Ning Chen's view. Only his golden eyes, upon seeing Ning Chen clearly, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light like stars!

The monkey grinned, revealing a tired yet incredibly familiar smile to Ning Chen.

His voice was hoarse, yet it still carried a hint of uninhibitedness and carefree spirit.

"Hehe...Junior brother...you...you've finally arrived?"

"I thought I'd never see you again!"
