In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

To save Jiang Liuer, Sha Wujing leaped into the river.

After entering the water, he challenged the monster at the entrance of the cave.

Seeing this, the little demon hurriedly ran to the king and stammered, "Great...Great King! Something terrible has happened! A monk with an unlucky appearance has come outside and is making a ruckus, insisting on seeing Tang Sanzang!"

Upon hearing the little demon's report, the alligator dragon frowned slightly and said, "I understand. I will go out and meet him now."

After saying that, he strode out of the cave.

Upon seeing the monster appear, Sha Wujing didn't hesitate and brandished his demon-subduing staff, attacking the monster.

In an instant, the two were locked in combat.

Sha Wujing's fighting ability underwater is much stronger than that on land.

At this moment, he fought the monster for dozens of rounds, and the two were evenly matched and unable to gain the upper hand.

Sha Wujing knew that this place was the territory of demons, and that if the conflict continued for a long time, it would be extremely disadvantageous to his side.

So he deliberately fought and retreated, trying to lure the monster ashore so that his senior brother Sun Wukong, who had been waiting for a long time, could deal with it.

Unfortunately, the monster was no ordinary creature either. It quickly saw through Sha Wujing's scheme and refused to leave the water no matter what.

Thus, the two sides remained deadlocked, and the situation reached a stalemate.

Having failed to achieve any results in the prolonged battle, Sha Wujing had no choice but to temporarily retreat.

……

Jiang Liuer was tightly bound by a huge piece of seaweed, completely immobilized and unable to move. He felt extremely regretful.

Meanwhile, Pigsy, who was also hanging up by seaweed, kept groaning and complaining, "Master, look at what you've done!"

"If I had just listened to my senior brother back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Jiang Liuer sighed deeply and did not refute it; this time it was indeed his fault.

He was jealous of the special treatment his three disciples gave Chen Yi, and harbored a deep resentment. In a moment of impulsiveness, he fell into the monster's trap.

……

ashore.

Sha Wujing: "Eldest brother, that monster is as strong as me, and it looks like no ordinary monster."

Chen Yi, who was standing to the side, was about to speak up to remind him when he realized that he had just uttered a few incomprehensible words. He immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

He picked up his son, walked to the riverbank, and sighed helplessly, "He covered my mouth again!"

At first, Shiyi looked bewildered, but then his gaze was fixed on the river. Taking advantage of Chen Yi's inattention, he quietly put his feet into the river.

Sun Wukong said to Sha Wujing, "Junior brother, don't worry, let me ask the river god."

Sun Wukong brandished his golden cudgel, aiming to strike the river. The river god was struck and had no choice but to reveal himself.

Later, Sun Wukong learned from the river god that the river was originally called the Clear Water River, and that the monster had come from the west coast five years ago.

They seized the river god's water palace and acted recklessly.

Even the river god's daughter was forcibly abducted by the monster, and from then on, the river water turned as black as ink, and the river's name was changed to Blackwater River.

Moreover, this monster was related to the Dragon King of the West Sea. The River God wanted to complain to the Heavenly Court, but unfortunately, he was of low rank and could not see the Jade Emperor.

Sun Wukong said, "Now that you've met this Great Sage, you're guaranteed to win this lawsuit."

"This Great Sage will seek justice for you!"

With that, he somersaulted to the West Sea Dragon Palace, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take Chen Yi and his son with him.

He wasn't comfortable leaving Sha Wujing to protect Chen Yi; he felt more at ease having him by his side himself.

Always caught off guard and suddenly taken into the space, Chen Yi got used to it and slowly started to wander around in the space.

Little Eleven also ran off excitedly to play with his chicken and sheep friends.
