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

Mount Hua, Temple of the Three Holy Mothers.

Yang Jian suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

A wisp of auspicious cloud sped across the sky at great speed, stopping in the air above the Temple of the Holy Mothers in the blink of an eye.

With a flash of white light, Venus, holding a whisk and beaming with smiles, landed in the courtyard.

Yang Jian's expression turned solemn. He took two steps forward and bowed slightly.

"With Venus not accompanying you in the Lingxiao Palace, how come you have time to come to Mount Hua?"

Although Yang Jian always obeyed the Heavenly Court's orders but not its pronouncements, Venus was a smooth talker and never easily offended anyone.

Yang Jian maintained the proper courtesy towards him.

Venus quickly returned the greeting.

"You're too kind, True Lord."

"I have come here today on His Majesty's orders to deliver a message to the True Lord."

Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly, and he had already guessed seven or eight parts of the truth.

"But is it for that Sun Wukong?"

Venus nodded, his smile fading, and his expression turned somewhat helpless.

"Exactly."

"A message came from the Buddhist sect, requesting that the Heavenly Court continue to send troops to pursue Sun Wukong."

"His Majesty has issued an edict ordering Li Tianwang to muster 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, who will soon descend upon Mount Hua."

Venus paused for a moment, deliberately lowering his voice.

"His Majesty knew that the True Lord was here, and specifically instructed Li Tianwang to do so."

"The Heavenly Army has come here only to drive that demon monkey out of the Huashan area; they will not actually fight on Huashan."

"His Majesty sent this old man to inform the True Lord in advance because he was afraid that the army would disturb the Holy Mother's sacred site and cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Yang Jian's expression softened slightly after hearing this.

The Jade Emperor's arrangement was a great favor to him.

Yang Jian bowed slightly to Venus.

"I see."

"Thank you for making this trip, Venus."

"Since it's the Heavenly Court sending troops, Yang Jian naturally knows what to do."

Seeing that Yang Jian had no intention of stopping him, Venus breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're too kind, True Lord."

"The message has been delivered, and the army will arrive soon. I must hurry back to Heaven to report, so I will not trouble you any longer."

"Take care, Star Lord." Yang Jian politely saw the guest off.

After Venus finished speaking, auspicious clouds rose from beneath his feet, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the sky.

The courtyard returned to silence.

Yang Jian turned around and looked at the quiet room behind him.

The door to the quiet room was pushed open.

Yang Chan walked out with a worried expression.

Yang Jian looked at his younger sister, his tone calm.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Yang Chan nodded silently.

Yang Jian didn't waste any words and directly stated his attitude.

"I'll go to the back mountain right now and drive him out of Mount Hua."

Yang Chan frowned, opened her mouth, and was about to speak.

Yang Jian raised his hand to interrupt her.

"The Heavenly Court's pursuers will arrive soon. If he leaves Mount Hua now, he will have more time to evade their pursuit."

"If he really waits until 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals surround Mount Hua, he will definitely have to go through a lot of trouble to break through."

Yang Chan fell silent after hearing these words.

She knew her second brother was right.

If the Heavenly Court's army of 100,000 were to press on, and Sun Wukong were truly trapped at Mount Hua...

Even if the heavenly soldiers don't make a move on Mount Hua, as soon as they leave the Mount Hua territory, they will immediately be surrounded.

Leaving in advance is indeed the best option.

Yang Chan stopped arguing and nodded.

"Second brother is right."

"In that case, I'll go and inform him."

With that, Yang Chan started walking towards the back of the mountain.

Yang Jian flashed forward and stood directly in front of Yang Chan.

"Stop right there!"

Yang Chan turned around, her face full of confusion.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Jian released his hand, his tone stern.

"What are you going to do?"

"The Heavenly Army is about to arrive, and all the gods are now focused on Mount Hua."

"Are you going to tip him off at this time because you think you haven't accumulated enough karma already?"

Yang Jian didn't give Yang Chan a chance to refute him at all.

"You stay here and you're not allowed to go anywhere."

"I'll go and inform him."

Yang Chan opened her mouth, knowing her second brother's temper.

She could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, I won't go."

"Second brother, talk to him nicely, don't fight him."

Yang Jian, too lazy to waste any more words, flashed and transformed into a streak of silver light, heading straight for the back mountain.

The back of Mount Hua.

Sun Wukong was sitting on a towering tree, idly munching on a peach.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of magical energy rapidly approached from the direction of the front mountain.

Sun Wukong suddenly sat up and threw the peach pit in his hand away.

As the silver light touched the ground, Yang Jian appeared expressionless beneath the tree.

Sun Wukong jumped down from the tree and greeted him with a big smile.

"Hey, what brings you here, True Lord, to stroll around my humble abode?"

"Does Sister Yang Chan have any instructions?"

Yang Jian ignored Sun Wukong's playful smile and got straight to the point.

"Sun Wukong, it's time for you to go."

The smile on Sun Wukong's face vanished instantly.

He frowned and stared at Yang Jian.

"What does the True Lord mean by that?"

"We had an agreement."

"As long as the Heavenly Army doesn't come, I, Old Sun, will stay here on Mount Hua."

"How can you, the dignified Manifestation Saint True Lord, go back on your word?"

Yang Jian looked at him coldly.

"The Heavenly Court's pursuers are almost here."

"Li Jing has already mustered 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals and is heading towards Mount Hua."

"You can still leave Mount Hua now."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked Yang Jian up and down suspiciously.

He didn't believe that the three-eyed man would be so kind as to come and deliver a message to him.

This guy guards against him like he's a thief, and wishes he'd die somewhere far away.

Now they're saying the heavenly soldiers are coming; they're probably just trying to scare him.

"True Lord, that's not a fair thing to say."

"I, Old Sun, have been staying here on Mount Hua just fine, and I haven't even seen a single heavenly soldier."

"You don't like me, Old Sun, and want to kick me out?"

"Just say it directly. I'm not going to stay here. Why make things so ugly?"

Yang Jian looked at Sun Wukong's suspicious expression and sneered.

"An excuse?"

"I, Yang Jian, need no excuses for my actions!"

Yang Jian exuded an aura of power, his voice cold and proud.

"If I really wanted to get rid of you, I would just do it; I wouldn't stoop to lying to you."

"I have just received news from the Heavenly Court that Li Jing's army will arrive shortly."

"If you leave now, you'll have more time to find your next hiding place."

"If you are stubborn and insist on staying here to be surrounded and killed by Li Jing, I won't bother with you."

Believe it or not, that's all I have to say. Take care of yourself.

After saying this, Yang Jian said no more and just looked coldly at Sun Wukong.

Li Chen's voice rang out in his mind.

"Wukong, what Yang Jian said must be true!"

Li Chen's tone was very confident.

"Yang Jian was an extremely proud man, and he would disdain lying about such things."

"Let's leave Mount Hua now and go somewhere else!"

Sun Wukong immediately put away his suspicion and his expression became very serious.

He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to Yang Jian, his attitude sincere.

"Thank you for bringing the news, True Lord!"

"I, Old Sun, have misunderstood the True Lord. I apologize to the True Lord."

"I, Old Sun, will remember this favor and repay it handsomely in the future!"

Sun Wukong's flexible and adaptable attitude surprised Yang Jian.

Although this monkey demon was arrogant, he was at least a reasonable person who would listen to advice.

Knowing when to be firm and when to be soft.

Sun Wukong straightened up and chuckled.

"Since the Heavenly Court has come again, I, Old Sun, will not cause you any more trouble on Mount Hua."

"I, Old Sun, am leaving now."

"Please go back and say goodbye to Sister Yang Chan on my behalf, True Lord."

Sun Wukong turned around and faced tens of thousands of monkey demons in the mountains and forests.

The magical power within his body surged wildly.

Sun Wukong shouted loudly.

"Children"

"Come with me, Old Sun!"

A tremendous suction force instantly enveloped the entire back mountain.

Tens of thousands of monkeys that were playing and frolicking, along with the freshly picked fruit, instantly turned into streaks of light and were all sucked into Sun Wukong's wide sleeves.

In the blink of an eye.

The once bustling back mountain has become deserted and deathly silent.

After subduing the monkey troop, Sun Wukong turned around and bowed to Yang Jian once again.

"My Lord, please convey my farewells to Sister Yang Chan for me. Tell her that I, Old Sun, will come to pay my respects another day!"

After saying this, Sun Wukong leaped into the air, transforming into a dazzling golden light that shot straight into the sky.

The golden light drew an arc in mid-air at incredible speed and disappeared into the distant horizon in an instant.
