Fleeing in Panic

"Don't be impatient, let's see what he's going to do next."

After speaking, Sun Wukong brandished his Ruyi Jingu Bang, trying to disrupt the mud figure formed from the shadows. However, the result was that he stirred up the Flowing Sand River, while the mud figure formed from the shadows grew larger and larger.

Upon seeing this, the shadowy figure sneered and slowly said:

"You'd better save your energy. My sandmen are impossible to disperse. You'd be better off thinking about how I can eat you all up."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong scratched the fur on the back of his hand in a hurry and said:

"I'm absolutely furious! You just wait!"

Just then, a sliver of golden light suddenly appeared in the Flowing Sand River.

"Wukong, don't be angry! Take me to meet this demon!"

The voice was indeed that of Tang Xuanzang.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and roared:

"Master, have you finally broken free from the demon's shackles?"

No sooner had Sun Wukong finished speaking than Tang Xuanzang's voice rang out from afar.

"That demon Wukong can't do anything to me; I easily broke free from the restraints he put on me."

After speaking, Tang Xuanzang thought disdainfully to himself:

"He thinks he can restrain me with just this little bit? He'll need to practice for hundreds more years."

After thinking it over, Tang Xuanzang took the Nine-Ringed Monk's Spade and slowly walked towards Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the Little White Dragon.

As Tang Xuanzang arrived, Sun Wukong could vaguely see rays of Tang Xuanzang light behind him, accompanied by Buddhist chants.

Sun Wukong was very surprised to see this, but then Sun Wukong wondered to himself:

"When did this bald monk become so unfathomable? Even I can feel a slight pressure from him."

After thinking it over, Sun Wukong looked at Tang Xuanzang who was slowly approaching and felt a sense of awe.

"You damned monk, what tricks are you playing now? I've already promised to release you, why are you still coming to die?"

The shadowy figure gritted his teeth after seeing Tang Xuanzang.

But to everyone's surprise, Tang Xuanzang grinned slyly upon hearing this.

"You only said you'd release me, but you didn't say you'd spare my disciples. Now I'm here to save them."

Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure immediately felt extremely flustered, thinking to himself:

"What's wrong with this monk? At first, I didn't realize he was so powerful, but now it seems even I'm a little afraid of his strength."

The shadowy figure couldn't help but tremble slightly as he held his legs together.

At the same time, after seeing the shadowy figure's actions, Sun Wukong smiled at it and said:

"Look at you, so timid. My master just came out of the factory, and you're already this scared. If my master used all his Divine Ability, you'd be running for your life."

Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure immediately lost his temper and said to Sun Wukong:

"You damned Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, our business isn't over yet, you just wait!"

After speaking, the dark figure transformed into a cloud of black mist and dissipated into the distance, while the mud figures merged into the Flowing Sand River.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong wanted to give chase, but was stopped by Tang Xuanzang. Sun Wukong asked, puzzled:

"Why did you stop me, Master? The monster is clearly scared, why don't you take this opportunity to chase after him?"

Tang Xuanzang was speechless upon hearing this, so he slapped Sun Wukong on the back of the head.

"Are you stupid? It's obvious I can't beat him, why are you still so agitated?"

Sun Wukong was furious when Tang Xuanzang him. Sun Wukong was about to retaliate when he suddenly remembered that Tang Xuanzang had put a golden headband on his head.

Sun Wukong then held back.

"A wise monkey doesn't suffer losses in front of it. You hit me this time, but I'll definitely get my revenge when I have the chance. It's not because I'm afraid of the Tightening Incantation, but because I'm afraid I'll beat you to pieces in one go."

Although this reflects Sun Wukong's inner thoughts, various phenomena indicate that Sun Wukong is still afraid of the Tightening Incantation.

After a while, a monkey, a pig, a man, and a horse returned to the shore.

Only then did Zhu Bajie remember something important, and slowly spoke to Tang Xuanzang:

"Master, I think Senior Brother is right. You really shouldn't have let a monster go. Now we can't even cross the Flowing Sand River, and we can only sit here and wait."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang mysteriously said to Zhu Bajie:

"You don't know anything! This is just my little trick. Just open your pig eyes and watch."

"I feel like my master is scolding me, but I can't find any reason why."

Zhu Bajie wondered to himself.

At the same time, Sun Wukong ran over to Tang Xuanzang and said:

"Hehe, Master, your entrance was so cool! Could you teach me how?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang said to Sun Wukong with a mysterious expression:

"I want to learn! It depends on my mood. If you perform well, I'll decide whether or not to teach you."

At that moment, Tang Xuanzang thought to himself in surprise:

"Goodness, this thing is just something I was born with; it has absolutely no power. Besides being cool, it has no other distinguishing features. I don't know why Sun Wukong wanted to learn it."

However, at this moment, Sun Wukong thought to himself:

"Holy crap, Master's entrance was absolutely mesmerizing! I want that kind of awesome, charismatic entrance from now on!"

Sun Wukong's eyes were shining brightly when he looked at Tang Xuanzang.

Upon feeling Sun Wukong's gaze, Tang Xuanzang quickly covered his chest and said to Sun Wukong:

"I'm your master, so don't get any bad ideas."

After speaking, Tang Xuanzang hid far away.

Upon seeing Tang Xuanzang's actions, Sun Wukong broke out in a cold sweat and said helplessly:

"I'm a perfectly good monkey, don't think too much of me. Back then, I was the only Spirit Stone left over from Nüwa's patching up of the sky. I'm not as despicable as you think."

After saying this, Sun Wukong looked at Tang Xuanzang with annoyance.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie jokingly said to Sun Wukong:

"Master, I can vouch for my eldest brother. He's a truly good monkey. Back at the Peach Banquet, he sneaked into the Peach Garden and froze the Seven Fairies, while he went to pick peaches."

After saying this, Zhu Bajie revealed a hint of regret in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie with a defiant expression and said:

"Idiot, are you unhappy with what I did? If not, I don't mind if we have a contest."

Seeing Sun Wukong's Zhu Bajie expression, Zhu Bajie panicked and quickly said to Sun Wukong:

"You silly monkey, don't make fun of me. You're just unwilling to accept reality."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately wanted to strike Zhu Bajie, but Tang Sanzang stopped him.

Sun Wukong was quite surprised and astonished upon seeing this.
