Monkey turns demonic? Yunxiao: Seeking death!

"Senior Sister, it's fine!"

Xuanming waved his hand, signaling Yunxiao to release the monkey. His current strength was on par with the monkey's, so he wasn't afraid of being ambushed.

"Junior Brother, caution is advised. He's about to be controlled by a heart demon!"

Yunxiao didn't release him immediately. Instead, she frowned and reminded him. She could feel the monkey's heart demon growing stronger.

"What?!"

Xuanming was taken aback. Where did Monkey King get a heart demon from?

Although compared to Nezha and Yang Jian, those two biggest rebels in the Heavenly Court, he was practically a model citizen.

But throughout the entire Journey to the West, he, the demon child, had always been everyone else's heart demon, hadn't he?

How could he have a heart demon?

The formidable man who could storm the Underworld just because he felt his soul was being snatched away – what could possibly trouble Sun Wukong?

"You heard me right~!"

Yunxiao didn't know that Xuanming was so familiar with the monkey before him. Seeing his surprised expression, she gestured for him to look at the monkey's eyes.

"See? Once those black lines engulf his eyes, he'll fall into the demonic path!"

"Is that so?"

Xuanming hesitantly touched his chin. Was Monkey King really going to fall into the demonic path?

That wouldn't do!

Setting aside the fact that Monkey King was his childhood idol, just for his peerless combat power and extraordinary cultivation talent, he had to recruit Monkey King to his side!

"Senior Sister, can you help suppress it for a moment?"

Xuanming turned to Yunxiao beside him. "Just suppressing it for a moment is enough. I believe with his abilities, he can break free from this so-called heart demon."

"Oh??"

Yunxiao looked at Xuanming with surprise. "Junior Brother, you're interested in him? This fellow is from Buddhism."

"Simply put: even if you help him, he won't be grateful!"

"Heh heh..."

Xuanming chuckled twice upon hearing this. "Senior Sister, whether he's grateful or not isn't important. What's important is that my mind is at ease!"

"Is that so? Alright then!"

This time, Yunxiao didn't press further. She raised her hand and sent a golden light towards the monkey.

The next moment, Golden light, shimmering with mysterious rule-based energy, began to flow around Sun Wukong's eyes. After a moment, it circled his entire body.

"Huh? What happened to this old Sun?!"

As the golden light completed its circuit, Sun Wukong, who had regained his clarity, rubbed his forehead, seemingly trying to recall what had just happened.

A moment later...

"Two immortal elders, thank you!!"

Sun Wukong, feeling a lingering fear, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cupped his hands respectfully towards Xuanming and Yunxiao.

He hadn't expected himself to get so stuck in his own head.

It was just that his Master was from Buddhism, and his Master had arranged for him to be imprisoned for five hundred years, and his Master had treated him like a fool...

"Ouch?!"

Before he could continue thinking, Sun Wukong felt a sharp pain on the top of his head. He looked up and saw Yunxiao gently shaking her head.

"Junior Brother, this monkey's problem is quite serious. He could fall into demonic possession at any moment!"

"Hmm?!"

Xuanming was shocked. "Senior Sister, even you can't do anything? His cultivation is only at the Golden Immortal level, isn't it?"

"It has nothing to do with cultivation!"

Yunxiao frowned and sighed. "Junior Brother, we cultivators fear heart demons precisely because they can ignore cultivation level and only look at your willpower."

"If your willpower is insufficient? Even a Quasi-Saint can be severely injured by a heart demon!"

"Conversely..."

"If your willpower is strong, the heart demon will be suppressed and unable to move, eventually being refined into a part of your cultivation."

"I see?!"

Xuanming felt a chill run down his spine. If his willpower encountered a heart demon, wouldn't he be toyed to death in minutes?

He didn't have much willpower!

Fortunately, Although Yunxiao spoke of the dangers of heart demons, seeing how much Xuanming cared about this monkey, she thought for a moment and decided to act.

"Swish~!"

As a giant golden hand enveloped Sun Wukong, boundless black energy instantly erupted from his body, eventually coalescing into a shadowy ape figure.

"Roar~!!"

As if sensing that Yunxiao had ruined its good deed, the shadowy figure roared and lunged at her, intending to tear apart this meddling woman.

"Vermin, you court death!"

Yunxiao's brow furrowed. She raised her hand and slapped it over, reducing the shadowy figure to a wisp of air.

"This?!"

Sun Wukong, who had just snapped back to reality, saw this and his pupils instantly dilated. Even his voice became a little hoarse.

He knew that since that shadowy figure was his inner demon, its strength was comparable to his own.

And yet, it was annihilated with a single slap?

Who exactly was this woman?

Among the famous female experts in the Heavenly Court or Spirit Mountain, he hadn't heard of anyone like her?

"Heh heh..."

Sensing Sun Wukong's nervousness, Xuanming stepped forward and placed a hand directly on his shoulder.

"Brother Monkey, come, let me introduce you... the new Saint of the Jiejiao Sect, Venerable Yunxiao!"

"What?!"

Sun Wukong, already somewhat tense, became instantly flustered upon hearing this, fearing that this woman would also slap him into nothingness.

After all, according to the gossip he'd heard, Buddhism and the Jiejiao Sect were mortal enemies, weren't they?

"Right, why are you here?"

After introducing himself to Sun Wukong, Xuanming ignored his nervous gaze and asked with some curiosity.

Although Sun Wukong's strength was quite good in the Primordial World.

But this current situation wasn't something he could participate in, right?

Let alone him, Even he himself wouldn't dare to linger in the chaos if he wasn't protected by two Saints, Nuwa and Yunxiao.

That's right!

Nuwa?

Turning his head to look at Nuwa, who was spectating the battle between Sect Leader Tongtian and Jieyin and Zhunti not far away, Xuanming's eyes lit up.

He seemed to have found a way to deal with Sun Wukong?

"I, I was brought here by Master!"

Sun Wukong had no idea what Xuanming was thinking at this moment. Hearing his question, he thought for a moment and then honestly confessed.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Xuanming's face froze. He quickly pressed, "Master? Which master? Isn't your Master Tang Sanzang already dead?"

"It's Patriarch Bodhi!"

Sun Wukong scratched his head and explained with a wry smile, "I was just following Guanyin's orders to protect that Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to obtain scriptures. He's not my Master!"

"Patriarch Bodhi?!"

Hearing Sun Wukong's explanation, Xuanming's last trace of hope vanished, replaced by a strong sense of crisis.

Damn it!

The plot of Journey to the West has completely fallen apart! His experience from watching Journey to the West in his previous life seems useless now!

Not to mention anything else, just Patriarch Bodhi?

Anyone could guess that he was Zhunti!

But in the entire Journey to the West from his past life, apart from teaching Sun Wukong skills in the early stages, he never appeared again in the entire drama.

What's going on now?

Is he bored?

Zhunti, as a Saint, would actually seek out a Sun Wukong who was only at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage? And keep him by his side?

Trying to take him as a disciple?
