As usual, Sun Wukong summoned the Mountain God and Earth God, learned the location of the demon cave, and flew there with his fellow disciples.
Before long, they arrived at the cave entrance and shouted inside, "Demons, hand over our master!"
Boom! The cave doors flew open, and the three demon kings burst out with a crowd of little demons, laughing loudly as they surrounded Sun Wukong and the others.
"Stable Master, I was just about to come find you, yet you delivered yourself right to my door."
"Minions, seize them!"
The demons wasted no time. With a sweep of their hands, the horde of demons rushed forward. In an instant, the sounds of battle shook the heavens, and grass and trees scattered everywhere.
The little demons were no match for Sun Wukong and his fellow disciples. Before long, many fell to the ground and reverted to their original forms.
Seeing this, the three demon kings made their move. With a whoosh, they summoned their weapons and charged straight at Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sand Monk.
The three demons were truly formidable. One wielded ice, freezing to the bone; one wielded fire, scorching the heart; and one wielded rain, pouring down in torrents.
The three sides fought for hundreds of rounds before the demons unleashed their innate spells.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The fellow disciples were frozen into three ice statues.
The three demons burst into laughter and ordered the little demons to push the ice statues into the cave. Then they flashed back inside.
Soon, cups clinked amid joking chatter, and the cave became a noisy mess.
This ice was incredibly powerful. Sun Wukong was frozen within it and could not move at all.
Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk fared no better; they could not even move their eyes.
