Chapter 429: The Defeated Sun Wukong
"Local Deity!?" The King of Women's Kingdom silently marveled at the sight of this old man who had leapt out from the ground.
She naturally knew of the Local Deity, but she had not expected that the monkey could simply stomp his foot and summon the Local Deity.
Moreover, given how the Local Deity addressed him as Great Sage, it seemed that the disciples of her Imperial Brother were no ordinary beings.
"Local Deity, I, Old Sun, ask you, are there any formidable Evil Demons near the Women's Kingdom?" Sun Wukong asked directly, without beating around the bush.
"Yes, there are. Two years ago, a hundred li south of the Royal Palace, there lies Poison Enemy Mountain. Within that mountain, there is a Pipa Cave, and within that cave resides a Scorpion Demon with vast Divine Skills, unmatched by anyone!" Upon hearing Sun Wukong's inquiry, the Local Deity nodded and responded.
"Pipa Cave of Poison Enemy Mountain, you say? A hundred li to the south? Understood!" Sun Wukong nodded upon hearing the words of the Local Deity.
His concern was merely the location of the Evil Demon. As for the vast Divine Skills the Local Deity mentioned? Sun Wukong naturally did not take it to heart.
A mere Low Level Earth Immortal, even an ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm being is considered to have vast Divine Skills in his view, right?
"Great Sage, be careful, that Evil Demon is extremely formidable!" Seeing that Sun Wukong was unconcerned, the Local Deity thought for a moment and cautioned him.
"Alright, alright, I, Old Sun, understand. You may leave!" Yet, Sun Wukong simply waved his hand dismissively in response to the Local Deity's words.
In the midst of speaking, he was ready to make his way to the Pipa Cave of Poison Enemy Mountain to take a look around.
Seeing Sun Wukong's indifferent demeanor, the Local Deity thought to himself that although the Scorpion Demon was formidable, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven was also extremely powerful. Perhaps there really was nothing to worry about?
Therefore, after bowing, the Local Deity also left without saying much else.
"Elder Sun..."
Hearing the conversation between Sun Wukong and the Local Deity, the King of Women's Kingdom, who was standing nearby, called out to Sun Wukong as he was about to leave, "Since the Imperial Brother has been captured by a demon, I will assemble the army and go on a rescue mission as well?"
"No need. I, Old Sun, am enough on my own!" Upon hearing the words of the King of Women's Kingdom, although Sun Wukong was pleased, he waved his hand.
Undoubtedly, the King of Women's Kingdom's words did make Sun Wukong nod inwardly in approval.
Throughout the journey, even when he was in the Treasure Elephant Country helping the king look for Princess Baihua Xiu, it was just him and his disciples. The king there didn't even mention dispatching the army to help. The fact that the King of Women's Kingdom was willing to offer help voluntarily was indeed commendable.
However, in Sun Wukong's view, with his own abilities, he completely did not need their help.
"Then, I wish Elder Sun a triumphant return!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, the King of Women's Kingdom hesitated for a moment before expressing her somewhat worried congratulations.
With the Imperial Brother having disappeared overnight, likely captured by an Evil Demon, the King of Women's Kingdom naturally felt very anxious.
With a swishing sound, Sun Wukong leapt up and flew towards the south, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
This incredibly swift speed slightly calmed the mind of the King of Women's Kingdom. Elder Sun's capabilities seemed even greater than she had imagined.
"Alright, Junior Brother Sha, we'll just wait for Monkey Brother to come back!" It was just a new, unheard of Evil Demon after all. Zhu Bajie also felt that Sun Wukong should be able to easily rescue the person and thus did not bother to set off himself, turning to talk to Sha Wujing instead.
In the midst of speaking, he went back to rest in his room.
…
With Sun Wukong's speed, a mere hundred li was naturally not far, and in just a moment, Sun Wukong reached Poison Enemy Mountain and found the Pipa Cave.
With a bang, since he was there to cause trouble, Sun Wukong directly took action, pulling out the Golden Hoop and fiercely smashing it several times against the cave's entrance, completely shattering the door.
Meanwhile, he loudly shouted, "Evil Demon, return my master, return my master!"
"Wukong!?"
Inside the cave, Jiang Liu was bound and could not move; the ropes around his body prevented him from mobilizing his True Yuan, rendering the Dispel Curse completely ineffective, leaving him nothing to do but wait idly. At this moment, feeling the vibration of the cave and hearing Sun Wukong's shouts, Jiang Liu naturally understood that Sun Wukong had come for him.
However, hearing Sun Wukong's voice, Jiang Liu secretly sighed. Although Sun Wukong was powerful, the Scorpion Demon was a top-tier Great Demon in the Journey to the West, and Sun Wukong alone could not possibly be her match in a solo fight.
As for the Scorpion Demon, Jiang Liu felt she was excessively low-profile.
A mighty Level 82 Golden BOSS, by the standard of cultivation, she was more than qualified to be a Buddha in the Great Thunder Monastery.
Yet, she only stayed quietly, showing no intention of displaying her strength.
Otherwise, if Tathagata had known of her capabilities, how could he have been caught off guard by her Inverted Horse Stake?
Furthermore, as they traveled, which Demon Creature didn't gather a group of Little Demons to serve itself? Yet in Pipa Cave, there was only the Scorpion Demon, not even needing a single minion, much less harboring intentions of claiming the mountain as her own.
It was as if she were living in seclusion here.
She possessed strength comparable to Buddha, yet she was so low-profile!
However, despite the Scorpion Demon's low profile, someone had smashed her cave's door, and naturally, she could not endure it anymore. Holding a trident, she charged out of the cave entrance, "You monkey, why did you smash my door for no reason?"
"Hmph, Evil Demon, return my master!" The Golden Hoop vibrated as Sun Wukong glared at the emerging Scorpion Demon and shouted.
"Master? What master? Did you get something wrong!?"
Although she had extensive Divine Skills, the Scorpion Demon's cautious and low-key nature meant she preferred not to fight if possible, and her expression was somewhat puzzled, completely unaware of what Sun Wukong was talking about.
"Are you still playing dumb? Within a hundred miles, you're the only Evil Demon. My master was captured, if not you then who?!" Seeing the Scorpion Demon's denial, Sun Wukong naturally did not find her easy to trust.
"But, I really didn't capture your master. I've been in my cave these past few days and haven't gone out, nor have I seen your master!" Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Shaking her head, the Scorpion Demon still firmly denied, "You say I captured your master, but did you see it? Or did someone else see it?"
"This…" The Scorpion Demon's response left Sun Wukong momentarily at a loss for words.
Indeed, although he deduced that this Evil Demon had captured his master, it was just an assumption after all, and it seemed no one had actually seen it. Could it be that he had wrongly accused her?
"You monkey, you haven't clarified things yet, and you've gone and broken my cave door? Leave at once!" Seeing Sun Wukong speechless, the Scorpion Demon didn't intend to pursue the matter further, but rather waved her hand generously and said.
"No way!" However, although Sun Wukong could not out-argue her, could he really turn back just because someone flicked their lips? That was naturally impossible.
"You say you didn't capture my master, then would you dare let me, Old Sun, search your cave!?" Sun Wukong glared at the Scorpion Demon and asked.
"No way!" Similarly, to Sun Wukong's words, the Scorpion Demon shook her head and said, "You've already smashed my cave door. I chose to overlook it and that's all the kindness and justice I owe you, but my boudoir isn't some place you can just enter whenever you want!"
"Hmph, if you won't allow it, then I, Old Sun, will just have to go in myself!" Despite the Scorpion Demon's refusal, Sun Wukong was not surprised, instead, he lifted his Golden Hoop in his hand and spoke.
Whoosh!
However, before Sun Wukong's words even finished, the Scorpion Demon made her move, charging straight at Sun Wukong with her trident aimed straight at him.
If the Scorpion Demon could avoid fighting, she would; but since she had to engage inevitably, she chose to strike first for the advantage!
Ding ding ding!
Although Sun Wukong was formidable, when the fight commenced, he found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
The Scorpion Demon's rank had reached the Great Luo Realm, a notch stronger than Sun Wukong, and her trident was an 80-level Epic Level weapon, a grade higher than his Golden Hoop.
The only area where the Scorpion Demon was weaker than Sun Wukong might be in combat experience.
Sun Wukong had fought countless battles big and small along his journey, full of vigor, but in terms of weapons and ranks, he was not as well-off as his opponent, and thus he found himself having no advantage in the fight.
"This Female Demon, her moves are so formidable!" After battling for half a tea time, Sun Wukong hadn't gained any advantage, which surprised him.
Who would have expected this Female Demon's moves to be so terrifying? No wonder that Local Deity said this fellow had extensive Divine Skills.
"This damned monkey, so formidable, truly worthy of being the Great Sage Equal to Heaven from the Havoc in Heaven?" Similarly, after fighting for a tea time, even the Scorpion Demon hadn't gained much advantage, feeling surprised in her heart.
Especially given Sun Wukong's slender frame, his strength and physical defense were frightfully high.
With a thought, realizing that they couldn't determine a winner anytime soon, the Scorpion Demon didn't intend to continue the grapple. After fighting a little while longer, she seized an opportunity and suddenly raised her finger.
A streak of light suddenly darted toward Sun Wukong, it was the Divine Level Equipment's Inverted Horse Stake!
With a cry, the back of Sun Wukong's hand was pricked by the streak of light, instantly revealing a needle-sized blood hole, with blood flowing freely.
Due to the pain in his hand, Sun Wukong could no longer hold onto his Golden Hoop, which fell to the ground.
With a swoosh, covering his injured hand, Sun Wukong, surprised, glanced at the Scorpion Demon before his figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished.
Following Sun Wukong's disappearance, naturally, the dropped Golden Hoop, bound by soul binding, transformed into a streak of light and followed him.
What do you think?
