"Monkey King!"
"And you, Great Immortal—please wait!"
After a person and a monkey had led a whole pack of demons on for nearly a quarter of an hour, they finally reached a spot about a hundred paces from a monastery with a massive toppled Buddha statue and head. A wolf guard hurried after Annie and Tibbers, stopped them, then nervously pointed toward the monastery and spoke in a low voice.
"The monastery up ahead is where Master Guangzhi practices in seclusion."
"Master Guangzhi is one of Great King Black Wind's generals. He's not only well-versed in Buddhist teachings, but also wields a weapon called Red Tide that burns anything it touches. He's incredibly formidable!"
"Except for the few kings in the mountain, no one can match him!"
"You two must be very careful!"
To tell the truth, by this point the wolf guard—whose name no one even remembered—was genuinely hoping that the new Monkey King and the little girl "Great Immortal" could smoothly take down Guanyin Monastery, or even the whole of Black Wind Mountain.

And if the Monkey King and the Great Immortal could take the monastery, then the entire mountain, surely the "new" little demons like him would earn credit for showing them the way. Maybe they'd get promoted or improve their cultivation, too?
