Chapter 454: Chapter 454

Sun Wukong listened to what the Emperor said and nodded slightly, "Since that’s the case, Your Majesty, please wait here a moment, we will go and subdue that monster."

"Hold on! You just said that the princess was disguised by a monster, then where is my real princess?"

The Emperor’s heart filled with anxiety, he mustered up the courage to ask.

Sun Wukong replied with a smile, "Last year when you took Princess Your Highness and the concubines to enjoy the flowers under the moonlight, that demon conjured a wind and blew the real Princess to Bujinchan Temple. A few days ago, we passed by Bujinchan Temple and rescued the Princess. She is now safe and sound. After we subdue the monster, we will bring the real Princess back to reunite with Your Majesty."

The Emperor of Tianzhu was but a mere mortal and couldn’t differentiate who was the monster. However, the fellow was quite perceptive of the situation.

After hearing what Sun Wukong said, the Emperor thanked them profusely and saw them out of the palace. He also stated that if they needed help in subduing demons, Tianzhu Country would definitely provide strong Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!

Sun Wukong did not care whether the Emperor of Tianzhu truly believed him or not. As soon as the real Princess returned to the palace, the truth would come to light, and the Emperor would have to believe.

After leaving the Emperor’s sleeping quarters, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie soared into the sky.

"Brother Monkey, that monster has already fled, and we don’t know where to find it. Where should we go to search for it?"

Zhu Bajie asked, somewhat worriedly.

"Old Sun has already left a mark on that monster; don’t worry!"

Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"Brother Monkey, you really are foresighted!"

Hearing that there was a chance to find the monster, Zhu Bajie’s face showed a look of delight.

Sun Wukong said and transformed into a streak of light, flying off into the distance, with Zhu Bajie hurriedly following.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie arrived at a mountain in the due south.

After sensing for a bit, Sun Wukong pointed to the peak below and said, "That monster is hiding on this mountain."

Zhu Bajie extended his Divine Sense to search but found no trace of the monster, nor any lair. He frowned and quickly summoned the local Mountain God and Land Deity.

Seeing Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie’s arrival, the two deities came forward to pay their respects. Zhu Bajie shouted sternly, "I ask you this: What is the name of this mountain? How many monsters are there on it? Tell the truth, or you will receive a good beating if you utter half a lie."

The terrified Mountain God and Land Deity, trembling with fear, knelt and said, "Please, Marshal, don’t be angry, Great Saint, don’t be angry. This mountain is called Maoying Mountain, and there are only three rabbit burrows here. Since ancient times, there haven’t been any demons. Great Saint, if you are looking for demons, you might want to search along the road to Western Heaven."

"Maoying Mountain! Three rabbit burrows on the mountain, a sly rabbit has three burrows. That’s right! I’m certain, the monster is hiding within this mountain," Sun Wukong said confidently.

"Did you hear that? If Brother Monkey says the monster is on this mountain, then it certainly is on this mountain. If you don’t hand over the monster, you’ll be guilty of harboring it, and even complaining to the Jade Emperor won’t spare you from a death sentence," Zhu Bajie sneered coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Mountain God and Land Deity were scared out of their wits, immediately kowtowing and pleading, "Please, Marshal, spare our lives! Even if you gave us the guts, we wouldn’t dare to harbor a monster! This place is the blessed land of the Five Rings, truly devoid of any demons."

Sun Wukong frowned slightly; he clearly sensed that the rabbit spirit was on this mountain.

Feeling Sun Wukong’s gaze, the Mountain God and Land Deity were so frightened that they were beside themselves with fear, hurriedly saying, "Great Saint, please calm your anger. Perhaps the monster took advantage of our unawareness and hid on this mountain. Apart from the three rabbit burrows, there’s nowhere else to hide. Maybe the monster is hiding in one of the burrows. We will lead you to find the monster right away."

Sun Wukong, growing impatient, said, "Enough babble, lead the way."

"Yes!" The Mountain God and Land Deity quickly responded and then led Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to search for the demon.

There were three rabbit burrows on the mountain. The group first went to the burrow at the foot of the mountain and found nothing unusual, only startling a few rabbits that fled in all directions. Next, they went to the burrow on the mountainside but also did not find any trace of the monster.

So, they came to the burrow at the mountain’s summit and found the entrance blocked with stones. Zhu Bajie exclaimed with joy, "For sure, the monster has fled inside and blocked the entrance with stones. Let old Zhu break open the entrance and capture that monster."

Zhu Bajie immediately unfastened his Nine-toothed Rake from his waist, shaking it in his hand, it grew to over a zhang long. Zhu Bajie spat in his palm, rolled up his sleeves, and held the rake with both hands, swearing loudly, "To think that you, damned monster, dared to hurt old Zhu. I will destroy your lair and grind you to a pulp."

With that, he raised his rake and struck the blocked entrance.

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, the stones blocking the entrance shattered, revealing a deep hole. Just then, a white light suddenly flashed out of the cave.

Zhu Bajie’s pupils constricted. He raised his rake and smashed towards the white light, but the white light moved extremely fast and slipped under Zhu Bajie’s crotch. Just then, Zhu Bajie suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower body and let out a miserable scream, clamping his legs together, dropping his rake, and clutching his groin, cursing vehemently, "What is this damned demon doing, using such despicable tactics! It’s killing me, old Zhu!"

It turned out the monster heard the commotion and escaped from the cave, bumping into Zhu Bajie. Seeing Zhu Bajie’s fierce approach, the monster did not dare to resist and simply slipped under his crotch. As it passed under Zhu Bajie’s crotch, it remembered the previous night’s incident and harbored a grudge against Zhu Bajie for his rudeness, so it took the opportunity to deliver a punishing kick to Zhu Bajie.
