In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Above the Heavenly Court, auspicious clouds swirled, creating a magnificent and resplendent scene.

Taibai Jinxing stood before the Jade Emperor and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, it is understandable that the people below have some reverence for Sun Wukong and his disciples."

"After all, they brought much-needed rain to Fengxian County after a long drought, relieving the urgent needs of the local people."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor pointed at Venus and rebuked him, "Hmph! If it weren't for listening to you, how could that impudent monkey dare to act so recklessly!"

"Now look what's happened! These mortals are worshipping them like living bodhisattvas. It's utterly disgraceful!"

Ever since Sun Wukong brought rain to Fengxian County, the local people have been deeply grateful and regard him as their savior.

Every household not only meticulously painted portraits of Sun Wukong and others, and devoutly enshrined them in front of their halls, but also used their clothing to make various items to hang in their homes to ward off evil and pray for blessings.

Walking through the streets and alleys of Fengxian County, whenever someone saw Tang Sanzang and his disciples passing by, they would immediately stop and kneel down to pay their respects to them with full reverence.

These scenes were all witnessed by the gods in Heaven.

Seeing this, the Jade Emperor angrily said, "What? This monkey hasn't even reached the Western Paradise yet, and he's already become a Buddha?"

"I need to think of a solution quickly! I cannot tolerate his arrogance!"

Seeing this, Venus quickly reassured him, "Your Majesty, I have a way to punish him."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

……

Meanwhile, the king of Yuhua Prefecture was exchanging official documents for the master and his apprentice.

Looking at the seals of various countries on the document, the king expressed disbelief.

The King asked, "How far has the holy monk traveled from the Tang Dynasty to here?"

Jiang Liuer replied, "This humble monk has not calculated the distance either. It is only because Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared before my king a few years ago and left a verse saying that the western land is 108,000 li away. This humble monk has already spent seventeen years on the road."

The king, puzzled, continued, "I've heard you can fly, so why don't you fly there instead of walking?"

Jiang Liuer: "Guanyin Bodhisattva said that obtaining the true scriptures requires going through countless difficulties and can only be achieved by taking one step at a time."

The king nodded and asked no further questions.

After the court session, the three princes of Yuhua Prefecture heard that several extraordinary people had arrived in Yuhua Prefecture, and they were curious to see them in person.

Because the three brothers had practiced martial arts since childhood and each possessed unique skills, they did not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, nor did they believe the rumors that the master and disciple could go straight to the Heavenly Court to meet the Jade Emperor and had the ability to pray for rain.

In order to find out the truth, the three brothers, armed with weapons, came to the post station to look for someone.

Upon hearing that they were the king's three princes, Pigsy and Sandy were delighted.

The eldest prince, majestic and exuding an aura of dominance, made the others introduce themselves.

As usual, Pigsy spoke eloquently, boasting about his heroic deeds as Marshal Tianpeng in Heaven.

Unexpectedly, the three princes had never heard of such a thing and thought they were charlatans, so they were about to attack.

Jiang Liuer hurriedly came out to dissuade him.

Jiang Liuer: "Princes, we are monks from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on our way to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Just a few days ago, we prayed for rain for Fengxian County."

"Therefore, we are neither monsters nor bad people."

The eldest prince asked, "Monk, you just mentioned the rain-seeking ceremony in Fengxian County. Was it really your doing?"

Sha Wujing: "Absolutely true."

The eldest prince said, "I've heard that you have extraordinary abilities. Could you demonstrate them to us and broaden our horizons?"

The other two princes chimed in, "Yes! Show us!"

Sun Wukong was unwilling to show himself, but the three princes pressed him relentlessly.

Left with no other choice, Sun Wukong used his immobilization spell to freeze the three of them in place.

Sun Wukong said coldly, "You are all too noisy. If you wake up the little monk, you will be in big trouble."

He then went back into the house to check on Chen Yi, ignoring the three of them.

Not to be outdone, Pigsy transformed into a gigantic pig, unleashing three thunderous roars that were deafening.

Sha Wujing also displayed his abilities, and with a loud roar, the earth shook violently.

This series of powerful attacks left the three brothers dumbfounded.

Seeing the water stains beneath the three brothers, the master and his disciples were dumbfounded.

Scared to death?

Will the king hold them accountable?
