Journey to the West: Black Six Ears

While the battle raged below, two people sat cross-legged in the white clouds above.

The Yellow Wind Monster took the porcelain cup filled with tea from the person in front of him and drank it down in one gulp:

"Brother, what are you up to this time?"

Sitting in front of him was Sun Qiong.

At this moment, Sun Qiong sat atop a white cloud, glancing down at the battle below:

"It's just a minor calamity. This time, I'd like to see what kind of Buddhist heart Xuanzang truly possesses."

"Looking back on this journey, I feel that this pilgrimage team won't last long."

King Yellow Wind glanced at the tea, waved his hand dismissively, picked up a gourd from the other side, uncorked it, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

He took a deep breath before saying with a beaming smile:

"Tang Xuanzang is not very brave. If there are more demons and monsters along the way, he will be scared away sooner or later. As for Zhu Bajie, needless to say, I really can't understand why the Bodhisattva would give Xuanzang such a disciple. He is simply a troublemaker in the team."

After taking a sip of wine, King Yellow Wind said with a look of disgust.

Although he had a fairly good relationship with Jin Chanzi on Mount Ling, he had no intention of covering up for Xuanzang.

This pilgrimage team doesn't look like a typical journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures at all.

As for Sun Wukong, he did have some Buddhist thoughts, but now that he has been driven away, it seems unlikely that he will ever return.

"Of course I'll come back."

Sun Qiong said without hesitation.

Sun Wukong will inevitably return to the pilgrimage team.

For no other reason than that he was someone personally sought out by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he had to return to the group.

Otherwise, where would Guanyin Bodhisattva's face be?

Furthermore, King Yellow Wind forced his way in.

If he manages to overcome all the calamities, then the Bodhisattva will lose face big time.

This is a power struggle, and Sun Qiong has absolutely no idea that the Bodhisattva would give up.

So it won't be long before Sun Wukong returns to the team.

But before that, it was Sun Qiong's time.

"You mean I won't get involved in this?"

King Huangfeng looked at Sun Qiong and recounted in detail everything that had happened in the pilgrimage team recently.

Despite being an inside man, King Huangfeng was quite competent in his work.

Sun Qiong inquired about what happened when the Four Sages tested the Zen mind.

Although he intended to follow, he was interrupted by the Dragon Girl.

Even though he received a lot of information from the system's rewards, he still had no idea about the actual situation.

Now, through the words of the Yellow Wind King, he understood the whole process of the Four Sages testing his Zen mind.

In general, Xuanzang was probably trapped in some kind of illusion, where he was trying to cultivate his mind.

The others remained the same, but it was clear that the Bodhisattva intended to use some appeasement to keep the two followers and the Yellow Wind King there.

"From this perspective, Sha Wujing's life or death is really not important."

He was the one who killed Sha Wujing. If Sha Wujing were really that important, the Bodhisattva would have already taken action against Sun Qiong.

As a result, the Bodhisattva has not taken any action so far.

Although the Dragon Girl appeared, she only actually fought Sun Qiong once.

Moreover, to be precise, that battle was due to the Bodhisattva Lingji.

"We agreed that you would help me join the pilgrimage team, and I would act as a mole for you, but now..."

After taking a sip of wine, King Yellow Wind let out a long sigh.

He looked exhausted and dissatisfied.

Ever since Wukong left, all the burdens have fallen on his shoulders.

Even the formidable Yellow Wind King was finding it difficult to withstand.

Add to that Pigsy, who likes to secretly stir up trouble from behind.

"I dare not imagine how much more there will be on the way to the Western Paradise."

Upon hearing what King Huangfeng said, Sun Qiong simply shrugged.

If it weren't for Pigsy's temper, how could he have kept him and let him join the pilgrimage team?

"Brother, tell me your plan."

King Huangfeng was now curious to know what Sun Qiong was planning to do.

Sun Qiong looked down and pointed to the king below:

"Guess who that guy is?"

Following Sun Qiong's finger, Huang Feng looked down at the ground.

The king still looked respectable, and at a glance, one could only sense the auspicious aura emanating from him.

Such auspicious clouds can only be found among celestial beings or those close to powerful beings.

"Could he also be one of those beings from heaven?"

King Yellow Wind seemed to be deep in thought.

After all, he was someone who had been released from the Buddha's teachings, so he had some understanding of the situation regarding this journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

"This guy is Kui Mulang, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions in the sky."

Kui Mulang?

Upon hearing this name, the Yellow Wind King was immediately startled.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations are quite different from him, a mere rat from Mount Ling. They are genuine celestial beings who have received imperial rewards.

He never expected that such a deity would be sent down to intervene in this journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

"Actually, it's quite a coincidence. Kui Mulang went down to the mortal realm without permission, and I managed to catch him."

Kui Mulang indeed had no need to get involved in this pilgrimage.

He's already a righteous god in heaven, and he's from the Taoist school, so getting involved in the pilgrimage to the West wouldn't be of much use to him.

If Sun Qiong hadn't intervened using her identity as the Dragon Girl, Kui Mulang might have truly overlooked Xuanzang.

After all, although Sun Wukong was driven away this time, he still had the Yellow Wind King by his side.

Even if Xuanzang chose to take the side path, he did not get lost in the forest and stumble into the nest.

"With Kui Mulang here this time, the Six Ding, Six Jia, Five Directions Jiedi, Four Duty Officers, Protectors of the Faith and the Sangharama in the heavens are of little use. Moreover, it is a matter of human law, which is indeed difficult to deal with."

King Huangfeng nodded, quite satisfied with Sun Qiong's methods this time.

Thus, the pilgrims' ordeal involved both confronting Kui Mulang and defying human laws.

Without Sun Wukong, it would have been very difficult for Xuanzang to escape this ordeal.

"Then it'll be up to you."

"Huh? Me?"

King Yellow Wind pointed to himself.

If he were here, this difficulty wouldn't be so hard.

Although Kui Mulang is a god, his strength is inferior to that of King Huangfeng.

Or rather, with that one gust of wind, the vast majority of monsters are no match for him.

However, he still had one question in his mind:

"Brother, what exactly do you intend to do to the pilgrims?"

If the goal was to kill the pilgrims, they could have done it long ago.

Now that Wukong has left, no one can stop him from killing the pilgrims.

All you need to do is assign ordinary people to do it; you don't even have to get your own hands dirty.

If we don't kill the pilgrim, there seems to be no point in adding to his suffering here.

Isn't this a complete waste of time?

"Brother, look at what's on my head. I won't do this until this thing is removed."

Otherwise, who knows if Buddha might get angry and personally take action to destroy his soul?

King Yellow Wind glanced at him:

"You killed Bodhisattva Lingji, so there's no way the Western Paradise could forgive you. Even if Buddhists come to cause you trouble right now, I can understand."

Just as the two were talking, two figures slowly descended from the sky not far away.

However, the direction they fell in was still far from this Baoxiang Kingdom.

But the three demons on Lion Camel Ridge are still unaware of what fate awaits them.

The battle that took place in the middle of the night resulted in a victory for the king.

The king was actually a demon in disguise, and he was quite powerful. Pigsy alone was no match for him and was quickly subdued.

This time, Xuanzang was forcibly taken away.

"These two monks killed someone and then escaped from prison. Arrest them both and behead them first thing tomorrow morning!"

The king shouted at everyone present.

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers pounced on Zhu Bajie, who had been knocked to the ground, and grabbed him as well.

And so, the two who had escaped were locked up again.

This time, Kui Mulang acted quite quickly.

The execution platform was prepared overnight, and the executioners will be on their way tomorrow at noon.

Having accomplished all this, Kui Mulang transformed into a gust of wind, entered the palace, and muttered something towards the sky:

"Dragon Girl, it's up to you now."
