I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

As the crowd continued to move forward, a magnificent palace appeared before their eyes. The entire palace was made of crystal clear crystal and emitted a dazzling light.

However, rows of patrolling Yakshas, ​​holding sharp steel forks, stood around the palace. They had serious expressions and were watching their surroundings vigilantly. However, Li Chen keenly noticed that these patrolling Yakshas had some obvious scars on their bodies, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle.

It seems that when the Six-Eared Macaque broke into the Dragon Palace to steal the Dragon Ball from the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he not only injured many patrolling Yakshas and shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but also caused a certain degree of damage to the palace.

At this moment, a warrior in heavy armor hurried over and asked Prime Minister Turtle anxiously, "Prime Minister Turtle, you are finally back! Have you recovered the Dragon Ball from that demon monkey?"

Li Chen discovered that this warrior actually retained some characteristics of a carp. It turned out that this warrior was General Carp of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. At this moment, he was leading a group of generals under his command, anxiously waiting for news from Prime Minister Turtle.

Prime Minister Gui quickly replied, "Don't worry, General Li, everything is fine. If it weren't for this immortal's timely rescue, I'm afraid our Third Princess of the East China Sea would have been killed." As he spoke, Prime Minister Gui looked at Li Chen with pretended gratitude. Now he didn't really trust Li Chen.

Upon hearing Prime Minister Turtle's words, the aquatic warriors behind General Carp could no longer suppress their inner anger and dissatisfaction. Their emotions erupted like a volcano. For a moment, their excited shouts echoed throughout the Crystal Palace.

"That 'Sun Wukong' is so audacious! He actually dared to steal the Dragon Ball from our Dragon King! The next time I meet him, I will bite off a single hair of his, even if it costs me my life!"

"Yes, brother, you're right! Next time we attack together, I don't believe this 'Sun Wukong' can withstand our attacks again!"

The water tribe leaders all expressed their opinions, their voices rising higher and higher, as if they were about to overturn the entire Dragon Palace. Their eyes were filled with anger, as if they couldn't wait to rush out and find Sun Wukong, devour him alive, and cut him into pieces.

However, at this moment, Li Chen noticed that these water tribe generals were all covered with scars. Obviously, their previous battle with "Sun Wukong" was not smooth, and they even suffered a crushing defeat.

"Alright, stop arguing! Look at yourselves now, each of you looks like a defeated rooster. How dare you yell like that!" General Li's roar silenced all the aquatic leaders. They looked at each other, embarrassed and ashamed.

After all, they had indeed been badly beaten by "Sun Wukong" before, and these harsh words were just a cover for their inner fear. If they really went up to fight "Sun Wukong" again, they would probably be killed by "Sun Wukong" in just a few rounds!

"Prime Minister Turtle, and this Immortal, please quickly return the Dragon Ball to the Dragon King. The Dragon King seems to be dying without it!"

General Li's face was filled with anxiety, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with worry. He spoke respectfully, then asked the generals behind him to make way for Prime Minister Turtle and his entourage.

"Oh, by the way, Immortal, you and the two princesses go first! I have something important to discuss with General Li." Prime Minister Turtle glanced at Li Chen and suddenly said to Li Chen.

After saying that, Prime Minister Turtle came before General Carp and pretended to discuss something with him. Li Chen had no doubts, thinking it must be something important, after all, the situation was urgent, so he nodded and continued to follow Aoxue and Aoshuang into the Crystal Palace.

"Prime Minister Turtle, what's wrong?" General Li asked in confusion. Now that the Dragon Ball has been taken back, logically speaking, there should be no other problems.

Prime Minister Turtle said solemnly, "First, that monkey wasn't the real Sun Wukong, but the Six-Eared Macaque. Second, he suddenly disappeared without a trace while fighting the immortal named Li Chen!"

"What! Six-eared Macaque?! Wasn't he already killed by Sun Wukong?"

When General Li heard that it was the dead Six-Eared Macaque, he was so surprised that he couldn't help but shout out loud. But Prime Minister Turtle put his right index finger in front of his mouth, signaling him to be quiet.

"That demon monkey was resurrected by the Rain Ancestral Witch, and was given even more powerful powers!"

Then, Prime Minister Turtle described in detail to General Li the entire process of the fierce battle between Li Chen and the Six-Eared Macaque, including the thrilling duel between them and the mysterious disappearance of the Six-Eared Macaque at the end.

General Li frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied, "The Six-Eared Macaque possesses the same magical powers as the Great Sage Sun Wukong. If there were any mistakes, it's possible that he could escape. After all, in battle, it's common to let the enemy slip away due to a momentary oversight, especially when facing a foe as cunning as the Six-Eared Macaque."

"General Li, you must know that both the Rain Witch and the Six-Eared Macaque are insidious and cunning people. They are very likely to send undercover agents to infiltrate the Dragon Palace and gather more valuable information!" Prime Minister Turtle said to General Li worriedly.

After all, Li Chen, a person that the Dragon Palace did not know at all, actually agreed to help the Dragon Palace resolve the crisis so easily. All this seemed too suspicious and coincidental.

"General Li, I think this Li is very suspicious. In short, during the time he stays in the Dragon Palace, we must act cautiously and carefully observe his every move. What if he is an undercover sent by the Six-Eared Macaque or the Rain Witch, the consequences will be disastrous!" Prime Minister Turtle immediately warned.

"He saved our Third Princess Aoxue of the East China Sea and helped us take back the Dragon King's Dragon Ball. Who knows, maybe he was just a pawn to infiltrate our ranks and gain our trust!"

Prime Minister Turtle then went on to express his suspicions. In his eyes, Li Chen was most likely an undercover sent by the Rain Witch or the Six-Eared Macaque. There was another possibility, that is, Li Chen was one of the Rain Witch or the Six-Eared Macaque.

General Li pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Prime Minister Turtle, you're right. If this person is truly an undercover agent sent by the Rain Witch or the Six-Eared Macaque, then our Dragon Palace will be in great danger. We cannot let our guard down and must remain vigilant."

"Yes, I have the same feeling. This human seems to be hiding some secret." Prime Minister Turtle said worriedly.

"However, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he is an undercover agent. We need further observation and investigation," General Li suggested.

"Well, but we can't relax our surveillance on him. In case he is really an undercover, we must take action in time." Prime Minister Turtle emphasized.

"Okay then, I will strengthen my surveillance on him. At the same time, we must be prepared to deal with various situations." General Li decided.

Prime Minister Turtle nodded in agreement and warned, "This person will definitely try to find a way to stay in our East China Sea Dragon Palace. General Carp, when you are in charge of security, you must arrange for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to closely monitor his every move and those around him!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Turtle. I will arrange reliable personnel to closely monitor his every move. Once any abnormality is found, it will be reported to you immediately." General Li promised.

Prime Minister Turtle nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. General Carp then began deploying his troops to strengthen surveillance of Li Chen. A tense atmosphere permeated the Dragon Palace, and everyone was filled with suspicion and vigilance regarding Li Chen's arrival.
