Journey to the West: The gods and Buddhas panicked when the monkey was trapped inside him.

Sun Wukong put away his playful smile and looked at Yang Chan seriously.

"Sister Yang Chan."

"Is the Heavenly Court really as powerful as you say?"

Yang Chan nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, very strong."

"So strong that you simply cannot compete with it."

Sun Wukong lowered his head, pretending to be deep in thought.

A mountain breeze blew by, ruffling the golden hair on his body.

A moment later, Sun Wukong raised his head again, his eyes resolute.

He solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Yang Chan.

"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Yang Chan."

"but……"

Sun Wukong turned his head and looked at the monkeys playing in the forest below, his tone resolute.

"Now that I, Old Sun, have become their king, I will absolutely not abandon them!"

"The worst that can happen is death!"

"Even if I get arrested by the Heavenly Court for bringing them along, I, Old Sun, will never regret it!"

Looking into Sun Wukong's determined eyes and listening to his resounding words, Yang Chan felt a sudden tremor in her heart.

This monkey acted arrogantly, even daring to extort money from the Heavenly Court.

But he was so devoted to his own people.

They would rather risk being suppressed by the powerful beings of Heaven than abandon their weak monkey troop.

This sense of responsibility instantly increased Yang Chan's goodwill towards Sun Wukong.

She withdrew her aloof, ethereal aura, and her tone softened.

"You little monkey, you've got some sense of responsibility."

Seeing that Yang Chan's expression had softened, Sun Wukong immediately seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

"Sister Yang Chan, I, Old Sun, have a favor to ask."

"I hope you, sister, will have mercy and let me, Old Sun, and these monkeys stay on Mount Hua for a while."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely behave ourselves!"

"If the people from Heaven really come knocking on our door, I, Old Sun, will immediately lead them away from here."

"I absolutely won't cause my sister any trouble!"

Looking at Sun Wukong's sincere expression, Yang Chan finally nodded.

"it is good."

"Considering your loyalty and kindness, you may temporarily reside on Mount Hua with these monkeys."

Sun Wukong was overjoyed and repeatedly clasped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you so much, sister! Thank you so much, sister!"

Yang Chan's expression turned serious as she set out the rules.

"However, I've already stated my position."

"You can pick wild fruits, drink water, and rest in these mountains."

"But we must never go down the mountain to harm ordinary mortals."

"If I discover that you have done anything to harm humanity, I will absolutely not spare you!"

Yang Chan paused for a moment, then continued to add.

"Furthermore, what if the Heavenly Court really sends troops to punish this place?"

"You must leave Mount Hua immediately and not bring the war to my sacred ground."

When Sun Wukong heard Yang Chan agree, he immediately beamed with joy.

He patted his chest repeatedly to assure them.

"Don't worry, sister!"

"The monkeys under my command are the most disciplined; they would never disturb the mortals below the mountain."

"If the Heavenly Court really comes knocking, I, Old Sun, will retreat with my men without hesitation!"

"I absolutely won't cause any trouble for my sister!"

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Yang Chan said no more.

"You'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, Yang Chan turned around, her figure transforming into a pure white light.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the air.

As Sun Wukong watched Yang Chan's departing figure, he burst into laughter in his mind.

"Big brother, it's done!"

"The Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua is quite easy to talk to."

Li Chen's illusory image appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness and laughed along.

"That's natural."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Her resentment towards the Heavenly Court is far greater than yours."

Li Chen analyzed the current situation with satisfaction.

"Let's just stay here in Huashan for now."

"Once the Heavenly Court discovers that Flower Fruit Mountain is empty, they will definitely look for you."

"Then we'll see if they're willing to hand over those 1,600 golden pills."

Sun Wukong excitedly landed back on the ground.

I lay comfortably on that big blue stone.

"Who cares!"

"I, Old Sun, will live a life of good food and drink here on Mount Hua."

"I'll only consider going to Heaven again when the Heavenly Court delivers the Golden Elixir to my doorstep!"

......

Mount Hua, Temple of the Three Holy Mothers.

Yang Chan's figure transformed into a white light and landed directly in the back courtyard.

The maid Caiyun was pacing anxiously back and forth in the courtyard.

Seeing Yang Chan return unharmed, Caiyun quickly went to greet her.

"Your Majesty! You're back!"

"What's the situation on the back mountain? What's the origin of those monkey demons? Did they offend you?"

Yang Chan raised her hand, signaling Caiyun not to panic.

"It's alright."

"Those monkey demons are only staying here temporarily. I have already warned their leader that they will not go down the mountain to disturb mortals."

Upon hearing this, Caiyun breathed a long sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good."

"With Her Majesty in charge, those demons naturally dare not act recklessly."

Yang Chan's expression was solemn, and she ignored Caiyun's flattery.

She gave the order directly to Caiyun.

"Go and keep watch in the front hall now."

"Go to the front hall and check on the incense offerings, and reassure the worshippers who have come to offer incense."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Caiyun left, Yang Chan turned around, pushed open the door to the quiet room, and strode inside.

"A spirit born of heaven and earth..."

"A hundred years since birth, decades of cultivation..."

Yang Chan recalled every detail of her confrontation with Sun Wukong in the back mountain.

The monkey's demeanor, tone of voice, and even its arrogant, fearless attitude certainly didn't seem like it was lying.

His accusations against the Heavenly Court and his defense of the monkeys were both sincere.

but!

Yang Chan isn't stupid.

Having lived in the Three Realms for so many years, she knew exactly what level a demon who had cultivated for decades was at.

When the monkey faced the terrifying pressure of the Lotus Lantern, although he cried out in fear, his body remained as steady as a mountain!

"This monkey's fighting power is unfathomable."

Yang Chan muttered to herself, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes.

"If I had acted forcefully just now, even with the Lotus Lantern in hand, I wouldn't have been confident of defeating him directly."

"If we fail and force him to take desperate measures, my Huashan Dojo, along with countless mortals below the mountain, will surely suffer devastation."

Yang Chan shook her head.

She had just agreed to let Sun Wukong stay, partly out of sympathy, but more importantly to keep him calm.

Never start a battle rashly in your own arena before you have thoroughly understood the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

"However, since he dared to claim that he defeated Li Jing and Nezha, and even forced the Heavenly Court to send a large army to besiege Flower Fruit Mountain..."

"Such a momentous event that shook the Three Realms could not possibly be kept secret by the Heavenly Court."

Yang Chan stopped and decisively walked to the altar deep inside the meditation room.

Since I can't figure out what's going on with this monkey, I should ask someone else.

Without any hesitation, Yang Chan flipped her palm over, and a jade talisman that was smooth and glowed with a faint blue light appeared in her palm.

A stream of pure magical power was injected into the jade talisman.

The jade talisman instantly burst forth with dazzling light.

The rays of light intertwined rapidly in mid-air, transforming into a clear curtain of light.

The light screen rippled slightly.

Soon, a towering figure slowly emerged in the light screen.

The man was wearing a silver beast-devouring chainmail, a three-peaked phoenix hat, and a pale yellow cloak.

He had a heroic face, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a mysterious eye pattern was faintly visible between his eyebrows.

Even though it was just a phantom, the terrifying sense of oppression still rushed over you.

It was none other than Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun of Guanjiangkou, Yang Jian.

Yang Jian lowered his gaze slightly and saw Yang Chan on the other side of the light screen. His originally dignified and cold face immediately softened into a gentle smile.

"Chan'er".

Yang Jian's voice was deep and resonant, with a distinctly teasing tone.

"Why do you have time to use the jade talisman to contact your second brother today?"

"You never even send a letter normally, and you rarely come to Guanjiangkou."

"I thought you'd forgotten about your second brother."
