Some things simply couldn't bear close examination. The more one thought about them, the more uneasy one felt.
After Sect Master Tongtian carried out another round of operations, he left the underground cavern and met up with Earth Dragon Son and Mountain Piercer Son, who had been waiting for him. Together, they returned to Flower-Fruit Mountain.
That busy stretch had already taken forty-nine days, yet he had been completely unaware of time passing.
When Sect Master Tongtian returned to Flower-Fruit Mountain, his disciples immediately came forward to report.
They had captured a pig demon who claimed to be Sun Wukong's Second Senior Brother!
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Tongtian couldn't help laughing.
"Who would've thought that pighead would be so eager. How many days has he been here?"
"The very day you left, Master, this pig demon arrived. We've been keeping him locked in the prison."
Soon, Sect Master Tongtian saw Marshal Tian Peng imprisoned in the dungeon of Flower-Fruit Mountain's Small World.
Marshal Tian Peng seemed to have been treated quite well here. Not only had he not lost any weight, he had clearly put on quite a bit more.
At that moment, the pighead was snoring away in deep sleep, seemingly having forgotten why he had come here in the first place.
A disciple was about to wake Marshal Tian Peng, but Sect Master Tongtian stopped him!
"Let the pighead sleep a little longer. Laziness is a pig's nature, and nature is difficult to change."
Marshal Tian Peng seemed to hear Sect Master Tongtian's words and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Senior Disciple Brother, you're finally back!"
Zhu Bajie leaped up. The joy and excitement on his face were impossible to miss.
"If I hadn't come back, I'm afraid you'd have eaten all the delicacies on Flower-Fruit Mountain."
