Chapter 596: Chapter 596

Silver Horn instantly understood his brother's meaning and immediately said, "Brother is right, isn't he just a monkey? Let the little demons take the treasures and capture him, then we'll feast together!"

"Refined Ghost, Linglicong, step forward!"

Gold Horn and Silver Horn took out the Purple Gold Gourd and the Suet Jade Flask, explained the operation process, and confidently entrusted them to the two little demons.

Affection is mutual, Gold Horn and Silver Horn wouldn't look down on the little demons by their side, and these little monsters truly respect their two kings, always considering the interests of their own kings.

However, even with good intentions, the two little demons were truly limited in ability.

Each held a treasure joyfully, only to be seen by Sun Wukong who had been helped out of the mountain by the Earth God. With the lesson from Nu Ba last time, Sun Wukong dared not just go up and knock with a stick.

He transformed into an old Daoist and blocked the two little demons' path.

The little demons were following Gold Horn and Silver Horn, who served as grand figures of the Daoists.

Linglicong and Refined Ghost saw the 'Immortal' in a Daoist robe and dared not be disrespectful, hurriedly performing humorous salutes.

"Where is this Daoist Master from?"

Sun Wukong, imitating the image of Master Puti he remembered, said, "I am an immortal from the Three Immortals Island overseas, just passing by. What are you two little demons up to?"

Seeing the Daoist had an extraordinary bearing, and with Sun Wukong casually displaying a few spells, they were completely convinced, revealing their secret in one breath.

Sun Wukong looked at the Red Gourd and Jade Purifying Bottle in their hands and was puzzled. Where did these demons come from, possessing such powerful treasures?

Moreover, why do these items look increasingly familiar?

In the past, he would have stubbornly tried them, but the Nu Ba incident had fully taught him that sometimes 'just try it' can lead to demise.

"Your two treasures are indeed good, but I have an even better treasure. Would you like to see it?"

Linglicong and Refined Ghost immediately perked up, being demons, but influenced by Gold Horn and Silver Horn with longings of immortal ascension.

Now having the chance to see an immortal's treasure, they surely couldn't miss it.

"Great Immortal, Immortal Master, please perform magic and let us two little ones broaden our horizons!"

Sun Wukong smiled confidently, seeing the two demons were already deceived, used a hair to transform into a large Purple Gold Gourd, and said, "Your two small ones can only contain people, mine, however, contains the heavens."

"Today, I am in a good mood, and have met you two by fate, so I'll give you a demonstration!"

Saying this, he pretended to chant a spell, while secretly instructing the Day Patrol Deity to report to the heavens.

The Day Patrol Deity reported to the Star Lord of the Day, and the Star Lord reported to the Jade Emperor, who, listening to music, wasn't interested in the monkey's request, waved the matter to the Great Emperor Ziwei.

The Star Lord of the Day went to Ziwei Emperor Palace only to find the Emperor was not home today!

What to do now? Previously, the Emperor had ordered that Xuanzang and his disciples be looked after; coincidentally, True Martial Emperor Yang Jian was coming to find his sister.

Yang Jian, seeing the Star Lord dutifully standing there, asked what was the matter and, hearing that the monkey wanted to contain the heavens, found it quite amusing. Who in the entire Primordial era dared boast so grandly?

Thinking for a moment, he took out the True Martial Soap Flag and handed it to the Star Lord of the Day.

"When shaken, this flag can cover the sky and block the sun. I reckon it's enough to fool those ignorant little demons."

The Star Lord of the Day took the Soap Flag back to the Temple and signaled Sun Wukong, who stifled his grin and mumbled incantations, pointing to the sky at last.

Above, the Star Lord of the Day immediately waved the True Martial Soap Flag, dimming the skies over Flat Peak Mountain, obscuring the stars.

Other immortals, seeing the nephew of the Jade Emperor causing mischief, eagerly cooperated, thus staging a theatrical blocking of the sky.

Inside the Lotus Cave, Gold Horn and Silver Horn exchanged smiles while enjoying the spectacle, acknowledging that this monkey had some skill!

Outside, the clueless Linglicong and Refined Ghost were completely dazed.

"Old Immortal, Old Immortal, quickly retract your divine skills!"

"Yes, we can't see anything now, release the sky!"

Sun Wukong, grinning, pretended to chant incantations, secretly signaling the star in the sky to restore bright skies.

Refined Ghost and Linglicong looked stupefied, and then a 'spiritual mechanism' kicked in.

"How about we exchange these two small ones for the immortal's big one?"

Linglicong immediately looked at Refined Ghost with awestruck admiration; despite both being grassroots demons, how did he come up with such profound wisdom?

Refined Ghost swaggered with hands on tiny hips; though both were mere errand runners, they had differences!

The small ones already demonstrated impressive feats; if they exchanged my larger one, their two kings would truly take off?

After muttering a while, they amiably approached.

"Great Immortal, Great Immortal!"

"Your treasure is remarkable, how about we exchange our small ones for your big one?"

Sun Wukong inwardly guffawed, surprised by how easily fooled these little demons were.

"Not really, your two that contain mortals, how could they measure up to mine that contains heavens?"

The two little demons flattered tirelessly; Sun Wukong feigned a great loss and reluctantly agreed to the exchange.

Refined Ghost and Linglicong picked up the large gourd and hurried away, paying no mind to capturing Sun Wukong, afraid of the Old Immortal's change of heart. Sun Wukong, with the real treasures, fled.

Afraid the demons would realize the so-called great treasure was just a tuft of monkey hair.

The two little demons returned to the Lotus Cave, boasting loudly as if they had achieved great merit. Other little demons followed to join the excitement.

"Great, Great, Great King! Look what this is?"

Gold Horn and Silver Horn were dumbfounded; weren't they ordered to capture Sun Wukong?

What had they brought back?

They had been in Doushuai Temple for years; never had they heard that gourd + monkey would evolve?

"Great Kings, this is a treasure that contains the heavens."

"Yes, earlier you saw the sky darken, didn't you? This was the Old Immortal using this treasure to contain the heavens!"

Gold Horn and Silver Horn exchanged a speechless look; which old immortal could be more divine than their own Lord? These two fools were clearly tricked.

"Then you two demonstrate it!"

Refined Ghost felt he was no longer an ordinary little demon but one of remarkable wisdom, thus volunteered to demonstrate.

Emulating the Old Immortal, he chanted incantations; the large gourd bounced a few times, transforming finally into a tuft of monkey hair.

The two little demons were utterly flabbergasted, hastily kneeling to beg for forgiveness. Dıscover more novels at novelꞁire.net

Gold Horn and Silver Horn scolded them briefly but had no intention of punishing them; they were naturally foolish, why penalize them?

Finding Sun Wukong more detestable, he, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, teases fools!

"Brother, our treasure was cheated away by Sun Wukong, what should we do?"

Golden Horned King pondered a moment, "That monkey is skilled in martial arts, we cannot defeat him head-on; better go to our mother and borrow the Golden Cloth Rope to catch that Demon Monkey, and invite mother for a gathering."

Silver Horn rejoiced immediately.

"Great idea, brother!"

He then instructed a few little demons to go to Dragon Suppressing Mountain, Dragon Suppressing Cave, to invite mother, Yaliang Immortal.

This Yaliang Immortal was a manifestation of the Golden Palace Empress from Tushan, accompanying Gold Horn and Silver Horn. Why did she have the Golden Cloth Rope?

The Lord has a belt; wouldn't the Golden Que Emperor have a belt too?

Elsewhere in Dragon Suppressing Cave, the Golden Palace Empress was leisurely sunbathing, and beside her was Tushan Qingya.

"You girl, instead of busying yourself with matchmaking and sending fortunes, why hang around with this old lady?"

Tushan Qingya laughed while sitting and sewing nearby, "Ah, ancestor, I also have serious matters. Besides, how could you lack care when out?"

"This is merely a manifestation; if that monkey wants to fight, let him. You've been hanging around Thunder Mountain lately, has that kid not shown up?"

Despite being a fox spirit of ten thousand years, Tushan Qingya, before her ancestor, was still somewhat youthful.

"Ancestor, Nezha is busy with critical things; it's normal to be a bit occupied!"

Tushan Ancestor reflected on the past, nodded in agreement; they indeed should be busy now.
