Subduing the Fire Demon and Alligator Dragon, Azure Ox Uses a Treasure to Trap the Buddhas

The moment Tang Sanzang released Red Boy, Red Boy spat a mouthful of Samadhi True Fire at him.

Tang Sanzang remained completely unscathed. He looked at Red Boy and said, "It seems you won't learn to respect my name unless I give you a proper beating today."

With that, he reached out and seized Red Boy. No matter how Red Boy struggled or unleashed his Samadhi True Fire, nothing worked.

Tang Sanzang drew the Primordial Chaos Measuring Ruler from his personal storage space and lashed Red Boy's backside with it, making him scream again and again.

After a long while, Tang Sanzang stopped and put Red Boy down. "Have you learned your lesson?"

"Please stop hitting me, holy monk!" Red Boy said fearfully. "I know I was wrong!"

"Good. Now go invite your uncles inside," Tang Sanzang said.

Clutching his backside, Red Boy led his lesser demons out to welcome everyone into his cave abode, then treated them to fine food and drink.

Son Goku asked, "My dear nephew, where has your father gone?"

"My father and mother are both in the Northern Julu Continent," Red Boy said. "I couldn't stand living in that bitterly cold place, so I sneaked out and claimed a mountain for myself."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Stop playing mountain king and come with us to the Western Heaven," Tang Sanzang said.

"What are we going to the Western Heaven for?" Red Boy asked.

Son Goku grinned. "To steal the true scriptures."

"What? You've got some nerve!" Red Boy exclaimed.

"Red Boy, do you know how strong we are?" Tang Sanzang asked.

Red Boy shook his head. "Even if you're Great Golden Immortals, it won't do you any good. My father told me that Tathagata Buddha is at the Quasi-Saint Peak."

Son Goku laughed.
