Great Demon Sun Wukong

Thereafter, everything was much less suspenseful and questionable. With the power of Ye Zi and the Dragon Emperor fused, Sun Wukong used the Primordial Earth to directly seal Hidden Mountain into a stone sculpture. Of course, the process wasn’t as simple as it sounded, but there’s no need for elaboration. And after hearing what Ming Tiekuang had to say, everything became clear. To be safe, the Spirit Controller, before leaving, entrusted Ming Tiekuang with a task, to give Sun Wukong one final test, the form of which was unlimited, leaving Ming Tiekuang to his own devices, with the goal being to observe how Sun Wukong would react when facing an enemy so powerful that he was unmatched.

Would he shrink back, or would he advance? However, the answer Sun Wukong provided made Ming Tiekuang feel somewhat perplexed because Sun Wukong had directly seen through Ming Tiekuang’s trick, so this test was considered a failure. Even though the original purpose was not achieved, Ming Tiekuang had no intention of conducting another test. Not to mention how much more cautious Sun Wukong would be now, Ming Tiekuang didn’t believe that if there were another test, Sun Wukong wouldn’t kill him on the spot, out of rage.

Although Ye Zi and the Dragon Emperor were still dissatisfied, after all, this was the wish of the Spirit Controller. When their strength was not enough to contend with the eight Universal Law Enforcers, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they had to bear it. Those who acted rashly usually ended up badly. Ye Zi’s dissatisfaction mainly stemmed from Wu Ming’s attitude towards him, as if Wu Ming only recognized the strong and completely disdained the weaker Ye Zi.

The Dragon Emperor’s discontent came from Ming Tiekuang and Wu Ming having brought out Hidden Mountain—though now it seemed that everything that had happened was just a test, the Dragon Emperor could tell that Hidden Mountain’s attack did not hold back in the slightest. Coupled with past events, the Dragon Emperor felt an eager desire to slay this big toad. But, being under someone’s roof, despite his rising urge to kill, the Dragon Emperor forcefully restrained himself. In his mind, the name Hidden Mountain couldn’t compare with his dragons and grandchildren.

"Sun Grandpa, look, should we undo Hidden Mountain’s petrification? Otherwise, I’m afraid..." Watching Wu Ming’s continuously rubbing hands, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but feel amused. Looking at Wu Ming, it seemed he had a complicated relationship with this large toad. Pondering this, Sun Wukong suddenly turned to glance at the Dragon Emperor, then at Ye Zi, and couldn’t help but think: If the Mother Toad had really pursued the Dragon Emperor, who had agreed, would a toad and a dragon produce a "Toadragon" or a "Dragotoad"? If it involved Ye Zi, a tree, surely what they produced would be a tree frog.

Amused by his thoughts, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh out loud, whereas the Dragon Emperor suddenly said angrily, "Why are you looking at me? That toad has nothing to do with me!" Before Sun Wukong could say anything, Wu Ming hastily added, "That’s right, Dragon Lord is correct, he’s the one with vision. How could he be related to little Hidden? No relation, heh heh, no relation." After saying that, he shot Ye Zi a rather disdainful look. Ye Zi bristled immediately. What was that supposed to mean? What was that look for? Why did he get dragged into this?

Sun Wukong quickly patted Ye Zi on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. "Now, we’re all comrades in arms, it’s better if we avoid any overly intense conflicts. Wu Ming, don’t provoke Ye Zi in the future, in case you truly enrage him and he fights you to the death, I won’t help either!" Wu Ming took Sun Wukong’s words very seriously and nodded repeatedly, although his gaze kept drifting towards Hidden Mountain squatting on the Jingu Bang.

Sun Wukong understood his meaning and didn’t say anything more, quickly walking over to the Jingu Bang. He placed both hands on it and began to slowly retrieve the Primordial Earth through the staff. As the Primordial Earth was taken back, Hidden Mountain also gradually recovered. In just a little over a quarter of an hour, Sun Wukong had completely retrieved the Primordial Earth. Once released from the restraint of the Primordial Earth, Hidden Mountain adjusted a bit and was fully recovered.

It had to be said, Hidden Mountain’s recovery ability after merging with Blood Mist Mountain was probably on par with Ye Zi, otherwise, if an ordinary person were petrified and then released, they’d likely be dead. Just as Wu Ming was about to joyfully call to Hidden Mountain, the Dragon Emperor’s figure suddenly moved, accompanied by a surge of Golden Light. He launched a direct attack at the still somewhat dazed Hidden Mountain. Sun Wukong, seemingly prepared, also flashed, and seven Spatial Chains appeared in his palm. He pressed down, and those seven chains tightly bound the Dragon Emperor.

"Sun Wukong, what is the meaning of this?" The Dragon Emperor was seething with anger. He had not been too cautious around Sun Wukong, so he was immediately restrained by Sun Wukong’s Spatial Chains. Of course, with the Dragon Emperor’s strength far surpassing Sun Wukong’s, breaking free from these chains wouldn’t be too difficult. However, what he cared about wasn’t this but Sun Wukong’s stance. After all, he was at another’s mercy and had agreed to follow Sun Wukong. Even with his pride as the Dragon Emperor, he wouldn’t permit himself to harm Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "That Hidden Mountain, you mustn’t kill. Although I don’t know what grudges you had in the past, now, we are all on the same side!" As he finished speaking, Sun Wukong’s right hand flicked, and the Spatial Chains already disappeared. The Dragon Emperor glanced at Hidden Mountain with a face full of rage as if weighing his options, and in the end, he didn’t take any further action. This series of gestures from the Dragon Emperor scared Wu Ming half to death. At this moment, seeing the Dragon Emperor retracting his hand, Wu Ming immediately spoke with a crying tone, "Dragon Lord, Dragon Lord, please keep your composure, the things of the past were all misunderstandings, ah! Little Hidden had his own difficulties back then!"

The Dragon Emperor, whose rage had somewhat subsided, flared up with anger once again upon hearing Wu Ming bring up the past, but Sun Wukong grabbed his right hand that was already flickering with golden light, preventing the Dragon Emperor’s action. At this moment, Sun Wukong also sighed to himself. Up until now, Wu Ming had not witnessed his combat power, but his ability to draw animosity was truly exceptional. If not for him intervening, Wu Ming would probably have been beaten into dust by Ye Zi and the Dragon Emperor.

Ming Tiekuang, from beginning to end, appeared as if he were a stranger, completely indifferent to these people, as if he existed outside of their world. Watching them, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but feel a headache. Just as Sun Wukong was pondering how these people would get along in the future, Hidden Mountain, who had been perched on the Jingu Bang, suddenly moved. This time, however, she simply hopped lightly, and with a thunderous rumble, the sensation of the earth shaking and mountains swaying once again spread. This time, it wasn’t an attack from Hidden Mountain, but rather her jumping back to her original position.

Following that, Wu Ming instantly transformed into a flash of red light, and as Sun Wukong used his mana to create a whirlwind to disperse the dust raised by Hidden Mountain’s descent, Wu Ming had already reappeared before everyone. Along with his appearance, there was also a woman. Upon seeing this woman, both Ye Zi and the Dragon Emperor were stunned, even Ming Tiekuang, who always seemed to care about nothing, appeared somewhat dazed. Only Sun Wukong was slightly better off, but he too was astonished by the sight before him.

The one who appeared beside Wu Ming was, naturally, Hidden Mountain transformed into human form. Sun Wukong had guessed that the figure within the Blood Mist must be Hidden Mountain, but given the transformation from a toad, Sun Wukong was not particularly interested. He had even braced himself to see an extremely ugly-looking person. For a member of the Demon Clan like Sun Wukong, appearance wasn’t all that important. Many demons were even uglier due to their species. And frankly, though Sun Wukong was known as the Beautiful Monkey King, according to human aesthetics, he wasn’t exactly handsome either; however, compared to Zhu Bajie, he was certainly much more attractive.

Among the group of five who went to the Western Paradise to retrieve the scriptures, the most handsome was Tang Sanzang, followed by the White Dragon, then Monk Sha, with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie at the bottom. Discover more stories at NovelBin.Côm

This is a bit of a tangent, the point of mentioning these is simply to convey one thing; the woman who appeared beside Wu Ming was beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful to the extent that it was indescribable, making one feel that to glance at her was a fortune in itself.

And Ye Zi was more direct, drooling over her.

Witnessing everyone’s reactions, Wu Ming was quite smug, his voice carrying a cheeky tone, "Hehe, my wife, Hidden Mountain!"
