In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

When the monk who was putting out the fire saw Chen Yi, he was so terrified that he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"The vengeful spirit has arrived!"

"The vengeful spirit has arrived!"

Chen Yi's lips twitched a few times involuntarily, and he said helplessly, "Amitabha, this humble monk is still alive, not some wronged ghost."

Sun Wukong gave a cold snort to the monks, a sound that seemed to come from the deepest hell, sending chills down their spines.

The monks were so frightened that they immediately knelt down in front of Chen Yi, begging for mercy.

"Elder Tang, spare my life! Elder Tang, spare my life!"

"This was all the old academy head's idea!"

"It has nothing to do with us..."

Chen Yi cleared his throat, and his booming voice rang out: "Get up, all of you. I will not hold you responsible."

"Thank you for sparing my life, sir!"

On the way to find Jinchi, Sun Wukong looked displeased and asked in a deep voice, "They all wanted your life, and you just let them go so easily?"

Chen Yi blinked and whispered mysteriously, "I've already taken my revenge on them."

Sun Wukong was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How did you take your revenge?"

He knew absolutely nothing!

Chen Yi lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I had Little White Dragon give those monks a laxative. I estimate it will make them have diarrhea for ten days to half a month."

Sun Wukong: ...It seems that this little monk is ruthless enough. If it were him, he would just beat up that group of monks.

If you have diarrhea for ten days or half a month, you'll either die or lose half your life.

The two arrived at Jin Chi's room, only to find it empty.

However, Chen Yi knew perfectly well that Jin Chi had already died, and he murmured Amitabha Buddha softly.

"By the way, Great Sage, is our cassock still intact?"

Sun Wukong replied confidently, "That's for sure..."

But when his hand reached into the bundle and found nothing, Sun Wukong was stunned as if struck by lightning. He had clearly returned the cassock intact last night.

Staring at the empty bundle, Chen Yi was stunned and speechless.

Sun Wukong glared angrily at the monks and shouted, "Did you bald monks steal the cassock?!"

The monks were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they waved their hands and shook their heads repeatedly.

"No no……"

"Sir, we would never dare..."

"Perhaps it was the old abbot who wore it, and it was burned to ashes in the raging fire."

Chen Yi said firmly, "That cassia tree will not be burned."

Sun Wukong was furious and shouted, "Nonsense!"

As he spoke, he raised his golden cudgel high, ready to smash it down on the group of monks.

Chen Yi, who was standing nearby, hurriedly grabbed him and pleaded, "Great Sage! Great Sage! You mustn't!"

"They didn't steal the robe!"

Looking at the hands tightly wrapped around his waist, Sun Wukong's expression became unreadable. He slowly lowered his golden cudgel and regained his composure.

Seeing that Sun Wukong had calmed down, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

“Since the cassock is missing, let’s look for clues elsewhere first,” Chen Yi said, turning his gaze to Sun Wukong.

"Great Sage, what do you think?"

Sun Wukong said coldly, "Then I'd like to see who's behind this!"

How could the cassock disappear into thin air? These monks certainly didn't have the ability to steal the cassock; it must have been the work of a demon.

Only a demon could steal the cassock when he wasn't looking.

Sun Wukong turned his gaze to the monks and asked loudly, "Are there any monsters around here?"

The leading monk hurriedly replied, "Yes, there is a Black Wind Cave on Black Wind Mountain, about twenty miles from here, where a Black King lives."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

"You must take good care of the little monk. If anything happens to him..."

"Rest assured, sir, we will take meticulous care of Elder Tang."

"Yes, yes, sir, please rest assured."
