Discovered, Invited by Houtu!

"This is infuriating! Absolutely infuriating! That guy actually looks down on Old Sun like this!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen chuckled and said,

"Monkey, if your cultivation had reached that level, you would be the same.

Right now, you are not strong enough, so you can only let things take their course!"

Sun Wukong felt somewhat awful upon hearing this.

Seeing that, Jiang Zhen chuckled but said nothing more.

"Come on, let's head back. Since those people want to try again, let them try.

Perhaps this time, we might run into something interesting."

Sun Wukong's eyes flickered at those words.

However, just then, a gentle voice suddenly rang out:

"Your words are indeed profound, fellow Daoist. Would you care to come sit with me?"

Sun Wukong's expression changed at once. He then turned to look around.

"Brother Jiang, what was that just now?"

Jiang Zhen pondered for a moment before sighing.

"As expected of the Earthly Dao Controller. She actually managed to discover our presence!"

Sun Wukong's face immediately hardened.

"Earthly Dao Controller... You mean that Earthly Dao Controller is..."

Jiang Zhen merely smiled. With a wave of his hand, the two of them instantly vanished from where they stood.

When they reappeared, they were already inside a palace that looked exceedingly simple.

Within the palace, twelve figures stood around them, watching this way.

At the center sat a graceful woman, her body radiating a faint air of nobility.

Jiang Zhen gave a slight salute.

"Greetings, Empress Houtu!"

Houtu smiled.

"No need for such formalities, fellow Daoist. Given your status as an Eternal Daluo, you may simply address This humble Taoist as fellow Daoist!"

A gleam flashed through Jiang Zhen's eyes, and he said,

"Fellow Daoist Houtu is indeed formidable. You could actually see through my abilities. Impressive, truly impressive!"
