Discussion of Post-Battle Affairs

"Reporting to the Marshal, that demonic monkey is too powerful. Even with the four of us working together, we still couldn't defeat him."

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, King Who Upholds the Nation was the first to speak to Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, explaining the outcome of their battle.

At this time, the Four Heavenly Kings had arrived at their encampment and entered the tent where Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, was located.

"Is this demon monkey really that powerful?"

After hearing what the King of the King Who Eats the Nation said, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, still asked in disbelief.

"It's absolutely true, Marshal."

"That demon monkey was truly powerful. He used his Three Heads and Six Arms to fight against me, the Growth Heavenly King, and the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King. Not only did he not lose, but he actually defeated all three of us."

With a look of grief and indignation, King Who Upholds the Nation spoke of their battle achievements to dispel the doubts that Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, had experienced.

"I thought that with your combined strength and Law Treasure, the four of you could barely defeat Sun Wukong, but I didn't expect him to defeat all four of you. What are we going to do now?"

After listening to what the Pagoda- King Who Has Eaten Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing had to say, he said something with some annoyance and frustration.

"Marshal, I have a plan, but I'm not sure if I should tell you."

At this moment, Wide-Eyed Heavenly King looked at Li Jing, the Heavenly King was holding the pagoda. Li Jing looked troubled, his brows furrowed, and he seemed very anxious. However, at this moment, a plan to deal with Sun Wukong suddenly popped into his mind, but it was rather embarrassing, so he hesitated whether to say it.

"Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, do you truly have a plan?"

"If you have something to say, then just say it already, don't ask these irrelevant questions."

Upon hearing what Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, the Pagoda -Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, had his eyes gleam with golden light, as if he had grasped a lifeline. If possible, he wanted to try Broad-Wood Heavenly King's method as a last resort.

"Then I'll tell you."

Before revealing his plan, King of King Wood glanced tentatively at Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

"Speak, speak, stop talking nonsense."

Li Jing cast a disdainful glance at Wide-Eyed Heavenly King.

Upon hearing Li Jin's tone, Wide-Eyed Heavenly King quickly began to explain his own plan.

"If we want to capture that monkey, then with the fighting strength of us commanders, it's definitely not enough to take him down one by one. If our sole purpose is to capture Sun Wukong..."

"Then I suggest that we send the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who came with us to besiege the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain. Even if Sun Wukong wants to escape, with our eighteen Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, he will definitely be helpless and will only have the option of breaking through head-on."

"However, if we allow him to break through head-on, our 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals can completely exhaust all his Law Power, capture him in this way, and then his life and death will be entirely in our hands."

Wide-Eyed Heavenly King directly stated his thoughts and plans, then looked at Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, with an expectant expression, seemingly hoping that he would adopt his method.

"Is this the plan you were talking about?"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, complained somewhat helplessly.

After hearing Wide-Eyed Heavenly King's plan, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, looked at him with a black line on his face.

"How about it, Marshal? Isn't my plan pretty good?"

"Marshal, do you intend to adopt my plan or not? If so, let's act quickly. While Monkey Sun's strength hasn't fully recovered, let's seize this opportunity to send troops and exhaust his remaining magical Law Power before taking him down."

Seeing the silent Dawdling Heavenly King Li Jing, Wide-Eyed Heavenly King was completely unaware of the despair in Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing's eyes earlier. Instead, he thought that Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing was silent because he was considering how to deploy his forces to deal with Sun Wukong, and then excitedly spoke to Li Jing.

"Didn't you consider the potential cost we might have to pay?"

After a moment of silence, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King spoke to the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King with a hint of helplessness.

"I've thought about it. It's inevitable that we'll suffer some losses, but it's all worth it to take down that Monkey Sun."

The Wide-Eyed Heavenly King said somewhat nonchalantly.

"Our losses are indeed unavoidable, but do you know how much damage we'll have to suffer to have any chance of defeating Sun Wukong?"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, looked at Wide-Eyed Heavenly King with a face full of disappointment and anger. He was very angry at Wide-Eyed Heavenly King's disregard for his soldiers, but he managed to suppress the urge to scold him. Instead, he explained to him the huge price they might have to pay to deal with and capture Sun Wukong.

"Before sending the Nine Luminaries Star Lords to fight Sun Wukong, I had already sent people to search for all of Sun Wukong's previous battle records, hoping to reassess Sun Wukong strength."

"But do you know what answers those people who assessed Sun Wukong's strength gave me?"

Tall Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing, paused at this point, leaving the Four Heavenly Kings in suspense.

What is the answer?

Wide-Eyed Heavenly King looked anxiously at Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing.

"Yes, Marshal, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly."

At this moment, the Heavenly King, including Dhritarashtra, who were listening in, could not suppress their curiosity and asked Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, a question.

"The answer they told me was Sun Wukong. This monkey deserves the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

"From that moment on, I roughly knew that if the four of you went into battle, you might be able to capture Sun Wukong. But before I could send the messenger to inform you, Nezha came looking for me first, wanting to fight Sun Wukong again."

"I had no choice but to agree to Nezha's request."

"Actually, I knew very well that if Nezha faced him, he would definitely lose. However, I was very confident in Nezha's strength after being exhausted twice in Nezha last battle with him, so I let him fight again."

At this point, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, looked at the four of them with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"But I didn't expect that Nezha would still go all out this time, yet still fail to defeat Sun Wukong. He only managed to hold out against Sun Wukong for a little longer before finally succumbing to defeat."

"After Nezha returned from Nezha defeat, I immediately sent a messenger to inform the four of you, hoping to borrow your abilities to capture Sun Wukong. But I never expected this."
