When Chen Wei and Yang Chan walked out of the spirit vein cave side by side, everything outside was calm.
The Heavenly Court's Demon-Subduing Army covered the mountains.
The demons who usually swaggered around Mistcloud Mountain had all been pinned to the ground, their hands clasped over their heads and Demon-Locking Chains around their necks. They could not have been more docile.
Chen Wei extended his divine sense and swept along the mountain path. All the captives were petty demons and monsters; there was not a single tough opponent among them.

Curiosity stirred in Chen Wei's heart. Taking Yang Chan's hand, he flew straight toward the main hall.
The moment the two landed-
Sun Wukong sprang upright in the Tiger-Skin Chair. His Fiery Golden Eyes swiftly sized up Chen Wei, then turned to Yang Chan, whose face glowed with peach-blossom pink and a dewy radiance. His thunder-god mouth nearly split into a grin that reached the back of his head.
"Well, well!"
"You two have finished inspecting the spirit vein and finally come out?"
"Great Sage!"

Seeing this, Chen Wei knew nothing good would come out of Sun Wukong's mouth. He quickly stepped forward
