The Plan

The Azure Lion looked completely bewildered and asked Kunpeng, but at this moment, the elephant demon was also with him.

"You don't understand. Some demons were responsible for carrying the sedan chair, some for traveling, and my brothers and I accompanied him for a while. From here, it's several hundred miles ahead, and all of that is my territory."

"I'll have backup men to meet us then. If we get to the edge of the city, we'll be able to capture Tang Xuanzang."

Kunpeng spoke with confidence, as if he had a plan in mind.

However, the Azure Lion was completely confused and could only nod in agreement:

"You're absolutely right, I'm completely captivated by what you're saying."

He then immediately said to the surrounding demons, "You must not wander around on the mountain now. Sun Wukong is suspicious by nature. If he sees you here, he will definitely be suspicious and will be able to see through this scheme."

After speaking, the Azure Lion shouted loudly to Tang Xuanzang, "Tang Xuanzang, now is an auspicious day to set off. We have already prepared the sedan chair, so please cross the mountain as soon as possible."

But Tang Xuanzang looked completely bewildered and asked Sun Wukong, "Wukong, is this monster calling me?"

Sun Wukong respectfully said to Tang Xuanzang, "Master, you are right. Moreover, that monster was one I subdued. Now I have him carry a sedan chair to escort you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang was overjoyed and clasped his hands together, saying to the heavens, "That's wonderful! If it weren't for my disciple's Divine Abilities, how could I have gotten there?"

After speaking, he walked straight forward, bowed to the assembled demons, and said:

"Thank you for your help. I will go to the Western Heaven to obtain the true scriptures and then return to Chang'an to spread them."

The demons stepped forward and kowtowed, saying, "Please, sir, get into the sedan chair."

Tang Xuanzang was merely a mortal with ordinary eyes. He did not know that this was a lonely Sun Wukong, a Taiyi Golden Immortal with an upright mind. He only thought that if he captured those monsters, they would be subdued. He had no idea that it was a trick by the monsters.

Then, Sun Wukong ordered Zhu Bajie to put the luggage on the horse and follow closely behind Sha Wujing Sun Wukong, using their iron cudgels to clear the way and watch for any remaining enemies.

Immediately afterwards, eight lesser demons carried the sedan chair, shouting loudly, while the remaining three greater demons followed beside it. Tang Xuanzang happily sat in the sedan chair, ascended the high mountain, and headed towards the main road.

The Yaomo worked together diligently to escort Tang Xuanzang, and he had no worries about food and drink along the way.

After some time, a city suddenly appeared before them. Sun Wukong, holding his Ruyi Jingu Bang, looked closely and realized that there was still a long way to go. But the city scared Sun Wukong so much that he sat down on the ground with a thud.

It is said that Sun Wukong was very brave, but he was shocked to see that the city in front of him was filled with evil spirits, because this was the first time Sun Wukong had ever seen anything like it.

The reason is that the city is full of Yaomo, and even the gatekeepers are two fierce tigers. This place was originally a rich country, but it has become like this.

Just as Sun Wukong was feeling scared, he suddenly heard a whoosh of wind behind him. He quickly turned around and saw that Kong Tou was holding a halberd with both hands and was about to strike Sun Wukong on the head. However, Sun Wukong quickly flipped over and used his Jingu Bang to block it.

Both of them harbored ulterior motives, but they remained silent, seething with anger, and gritted their teeth as they fought each other.

The Azure Lion raised its steel knife and slashed at Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie panicked and dropped the White Dragon Horse, raising his Nine-Toothed Rake to fight back against the Azure Lion.

At the same time, the elephant demon raised its spear and thrust it at Sha Wujing, who used his demon-subduing staff to parry.

Three demons and three monks fought fiercely on the mountaintop, each taking on one of them. Meanwhile, the remaining lesser demons stole the horses and luggage, surrounded Tang Xuanzang, carried his sedan chair into the city, and shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, hold them off for now. We have already captured Tang Xuanzang."

However, all the monsters, large and small, on the city walls fled down, opened the gates, and dispersed to various places, forbidding any gongs or drums from being played, saying:

"His Majesty has decreed that we must not access Tang Xuanzang online. If Tang Xuanzang is even slightly frightened, his flesh cannot be eaten."

After speaking, all the demons were overjoyed and invited Tang Xuanzang to come and greet Tang Xuanzang. They carried Tang Xuanzang 'Tang Xuanzang sedan chair into the palace and let him sit inside.

However, Tang Xuanzang was feeling drowsy from being carried in a sedan chair for half a day, and he fell asleep after a short while.

Leaving aside whether Tang Xuanzang suffered or not, let's talk about how the three demons worked together to fight against Sun Wukong and his companions on the city wall.

The six of them fought for a long time, and gradually it got dark. However, the air was thick with smoke, and it got dark in no time. When Zhu Bajie was hitting his ears, he kept covering his eyes. The more he fought, the more dizzy he became, and the slower he became. He couldn't stop them at all.

So he dragged his Nine-Toothed Rake, trying to leave, but was struck by the Azure Lion's knife, almost losing his life. He dodged it, only losing a few hairs.

Seeing this, the Azure Lion rushed forward and bit Zhu Bajie's clothes, dragging him into the city. He then handed him over to the servants and tied him up in the main hall. Afterward, the Azure Lion rode the clouds and mist to the side of the two demons, helping them capture Sha Wujing.

Seeing this, Sha Wujing inwardly sighed that things were not good. He quickly waved the shield in his hand, intending to turn around and leave, but was immediately entangled by the elephant demon.

Sun Wukong saw that both of his brothers had been captured. However, Sun Wukong was already in a weakened state and could not defeat the remaining three monsters by himself.

"I'm almost out of strength right now. If I were to fight them head-on, I definitely wouldn't be able to win. So I might as well run away first and come back to rescue them later."

After thinking it over, Sun Wukong roared and summoned his Somersault Cloud, intending to leave. However, upon seeing this, Kunpeng shook its wings and revealed its true form, spreading its two wings and instantly catching up with Sun Wukong.

When Sun Wukong Heavenly Palace, even 100,000 heavenly soldiers couldn't capture him because Sun Wukong could fly on clouds. However, this monster was able to catch up with Sun Wukong in an instant.

So they grabbed Sun Wukong and held him in their hands. Sun Wukong struggled left and right but couldn't escape, but the demon held him tightly, and Sun Wukong had no chance to break free.

Then Sun Wukong was taken to the main hall by Kunpeng and casually handed over to a minor demon, who was then instructed to say:

"Tie this Sun Wukong up tightly now, don't let him escape."

The little demon nodded upon hearing this, but the rope couldn't bind Sun Wukong at all; it seemed as if Sun Wukong had been deliberately released.
