In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

After escaping from that dangerous place with all his might, Chen Yi ran wildly like a frightened bird, until he was too exhausted to run any further and finally hid behind a huge rock, panting heavily.

At that moment, his heart was pounding like a drum, his chest was heaving violently, and he was breathing heavily, as if he wanted to replace all the air in his lungs.

He was so nervous! The feeling of being on the verge of death and escaping still haunts him.

Fortunately, he was finally out of danger for the time being.

However, before he could rest for long, a familiar arguing voice reached his ears.

All that could be heard was Pigsy complaining in a gruff voice, "It's all your fault for not keeping a close eye on Master. Now look what's happened, Master is lost!"

Sha Wujing retorted without backing down, "How dare you say that? All you do is sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Pigsy immediately became furious and jumped up, shouting, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's because you didn't keep a close eye on Master!"

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He cautiously walked towards the two people, following the sound.

After recognizing the two figures, he lowered his voice and called out softly, "Bajie! Wujing!"

"I'm here!"

Upon hearing this, Pigsy and Sandy turned around abruptly. When they saw their master safe and sound, their faces instantly lit up with ecstatic joy.

Pigsy scrambled over and hugged Chen Yi tightly, tears welling in his eyes: "Master, I've finally found you! I was so worried!"

Sha Wujing rushed over in a few strides, his eyes filled with concern and joy: "Master!"

Seeing this, Chen Yi quickly made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Shh! Keep your voice down, don't disturb the monsters nearby! We'll be in big trouble if they find us!"

Pigsy nodded hurriedly and replied, "Okay, okay, I'll keep my voice down."

Therefore, the three of them dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly set off on their journey under the cover of night, leaving the perilous Wanzishan without stopping.

……

Upon arriving in Baoxiang Kingdom, Chen Yi immediately visited the emperor and respectfully presented the king with what Baihuaxiu had entrusted to him.

The king held Princess Baihuaxiu's keepsake in his hands, tears streaming down his face.

The king addressed his ministers, saying, "My lords, who among you is brave enough to take on this heavy responsibility, lead the army to the Bowl Mountain Cave, capture the monster, and rescue my poor Princess Baihua!"

The ministers looked at each other, all of them wilted like frostbitten eggplants, and not one of them dared to step forward.

After all, those were demons who possessed magic; how could ordinary mortals like them possibly contend with them?

The king's brows furrowed more and more deeply, as if twisted into a pretzel.

An old minister stepped forward, trembling, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this elder dared to travel alone to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures. He must possess extraordinary abilities to subdue demons and monsters. Why not ask him to lead the army to rescue the princess?"

Upon hearing this, the king nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement, and said, "Elder, what do you think?"

"If you can rescue the princess, Elder, I am willing to become sworn brothers with you, sit on the dragon throne together, and share wealth and glory."

Chen Yi hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, this humble monk is truly ignorant of the arts of exorcising demons and monsters."

"I was able to arrive here safely thanks to the protection of my three disciples along the way."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong, who had transformed into an ant and was perched on Chen Yi's shoulder, couldn't help but feel delighted.

The king was overjoyed upon hearing this and said impatiently, "Then quickly summon your esteemed disciple to the palace."

Chen Yi quickly gave him a heads-up: "Your Majesty, my disciples are ugly and might disturb Your Majesty's presence."

The king waved his hand and said, "Summon him to the palace."

"Yes!"

Before long, Pigsy and Sandy swaggered into the main hall.

Although the king had prepared himself beforehand, he was still terrified when he saw the two men's faces.
