Battle Nine-Headed Insect, Rescue Xuanzang

A fierce battle was raging beneath the Black River in Jisai Country.

White Dragon wielded his sword against Nine-Headed Insect, and after several hundred exchanges, neither could gain the upper hand.

The water churned with rolling waves stirred by their spells and divine abilities.

Above the water, Sun Wukong gripped the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle, his eyes fixed on the river below.

At a certain moment, a thunderous boom rang out. White Dragon, clad in white and holding a precious sword, burst from the Black River alongside Nine-Headed Insect, and their battle continued high in the air.

After nearly a hundred more exchanges, they fought their way to the shore. Seizing the opportunity, Sun Wukong swung his staff at Nine-Headed Insect.

He spat out blood, then glared furiously at Sun Wukong in the sky before darting back into the Black River.

White Dragon followed close behind and plunged into the Black River as well.

However, Nine-Headed Insect took a fancy to River Earl's Daughter, forcibly occupied the palace, and drove Turtle River Earl out.

At that moment, Tang Xuanzang was bound within an inner chamber deep inside the palace.

Not long after, a graceful young woman crept into the inner chamber, peering around cautiously as she approached Xuanzang.

The graceful woman hurriedly explained, "Do not be afraid, elder. I am the daughter of the River Earl here."

Upon learning that she was River Earl's Daughter, Xuanzang relaxed.
