Six-Eared Macaque was about to be slain by Mahamayuri Bodhisattva.
Just then.
A Golden Crow emerged, bearing the sun.
It was none other than Ao Tu, the Demon Emperor Incarnation.
Mahamayuri Bodhisattva smiled. "You finally came." He raised his hand and sent a streak of azure light striking toward him.
Ao Tu did not dare take the blow. He became the sun and sped through the sky.
Clad in five-colored light, Mahamayuri Bodhisattva pursued him.
Tang Sanzang felt the fierce force of the sunlight. Unable to endure its scorching heat, he raised his sleeve to shield himself.
Wukong hurried over. "Master, quickly! Get inside the inn and take shelter."

Wukong said, "Master, I don't know either. After I reached the Great Thunderclap Temple on Spirit Mountain and met Buddha, Buddha said demons were making mischief, then sent Mahamayuri Bodhisattva to subdue them."
Tang Sanzang asked, "Demons making mischief? But weren't those two demons staying right next to us? How were they making mischief?"
Wukong said, "Buddha only said they were making mischief. He didn't say how."

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang did not know what to say. He could only invoke Buddha's name, thinking that perhaps his mortal eyes and flesh had kept him from seeing the demons wreaking havoc.
Outside, Ao Tu
