Yang Jian Descends to the Mortal Realm to Capture the Demon Monkey

Meanwhile.

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the immortals stood solemnly, and the atmosphere was grave.

Haotian slammed the Jade Slip in his hand heavily onto the table.

"Outrageous!"

"Absolutely outrageous!"

Guang Chengzi stood among the Chan Sect's ranks, his back straight as he joined in with, "Your Majesty is wise."

Taishang Laojun's golden pills?

Would that Saint truly let a monkey barge into Doushuai Palace?

If Laojun had not nodded his approval, forget one monkey—even
