Regarding his sworn brotherhood with your father, hehe, over the years, far too many demon races have become sworn brothers with your father, the Great Strength Bull Demon King; some did so solely to curry favor with him!
In Hong Hai'er's opinion, those without much ability could mostly be incinerated with a single blast of his fire!
This Sun Wukong does possess some skill, but he is definitely no match for his father!
Soon, Hong Hai'er arrived at the Green Cloud Mountain's Banana Cave!
When the maid opened the door and saw Hong Hai'er, she quickly exclaimed, "Young master, you're back? Madam has missed you terribly lately!"
Hong Hai'er impatiently waved his hand and asked, "Where is my mother?"
"Inside!" The maid, unconcerned, hurried inside and called out, "Madam, the young master has returned!"
Soon, a woman emerged from within. Seeing Hong Hai'er, she joyfully embraced him, exclaiming, "My son, you've finally come back to see your mother! I've missed you so!"
Hong Hai'er, feeling resigned, asked, "Mother, where is my father?"
Upon hearing Hong Hai'er's question, Princess Iron Fan's expression immediately turned cold. She scoffed, "Where else could that scoundrel of a father of yours be? He's probably off with that vixen again!"
Hong Hai'er finally understood. Yes, his father was a lecherous bull, so his absence at this moment was understandable!
Then, Hong Hai'er said, "Mother, it's best to find Father. Your son has been bullied!"
Princess Iron Fan was greatly alarmed. She quickly looked Hong Hai'er over and, finding no serious injuries, asked, "My son, what happened? Who dared to bully you? Tell your mother, and I will avenge you!"
Hong Hai'er was quite exasperated. "Mother, stop joking! I couldn't even defeat him, only Father can!"
Princess Iron Fan immediately became displeased. "My son, your mother possesses a congenital spiritual treasure, the Falling Pearl! This was bestowed upon me by the ancestor of our Asura clan!"
Hong Hai'er's eyes lit up. He actually didn't know about this. He said, "Mother, quickly show it to me!"
Princess Iron Fan, with a sigh, spat out the pearl. Immediately, a dark, lustrous orb floated in the air, emanating a soul-stirring radiance!
Hong Hai'er pondered for a moment, thinking that the monkey was rather peculiar. He then said, "Alright, with this treasure, once Father returns, we'll go and teach that damned monkey a lesson!"
"Damned monkey?" Princess Iron Fan asked, somewhat perplexed.
"He's the one who bullied me and claimed to be the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, who became sworn brothers with my father five hundred years ago!" Hong Hai'er said without reservation.
"The Great Sage, Equal to Heaven? The one who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace? Sun Wukong?" Princess Iron Fan was greatly astonished. She knew that he was the one who had caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace; even her man, the Great Strength Bull Demon King, didn't have that kind of power!
"What? Mother, you know of him?" Hong Hai'er asked with some confusion.
Princess Iron Fan nodded. "This monkey is very powerful. He caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago and was suppressed by the Buddha for five hundred years. He should be protecting Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West now. Did you go to capture Tang Sanzang?"
Hong Hai'er nodded. "Originally, I wanted to capture Tang Sanzang and have Father and Mother eat Tang Sanzang's flesh together, so we could achieve immortality!"
Princess Iron Fan stroked Hong Hai'er's head. The child was indeed filial, but she still worried and said, "That monkey is not easy to deal with. It's best to wait for your father to take charge!"
Just then, the Bull Demon King returned, riding his Water-Repelling Golden-Eye Beast. Seeing his son had also returned, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Holy Infant, you're back? Haha, excellent!"
Subsequently, Hong Hai'er recounted his grievances.
The Bull Demon King immediately found himself in a predicament. That monkey was difficult to handle, and they were indeed sworn brothers back then. Over the years, he had also learned of the Heavenly Court's power. He didn't believe that the monkey could truly wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but the crucial point was that the fellow *had* caused havoc, which was truly baffling!
"I don't care, he bullied me! Father, I want revenge! I want to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh!" Hong Hai'er threw a tantrum.
The Bull Demon King immediately said, "Good, good, good! My son and I will go together. I don't believe that monkey, after being suppressed for five hundred years, can still be so formidable!"
Hong Hai'er was overjoyed. The Bull Demon King glanced at Princess Iron Fan and said, "Wife, give me the treasure. I will deal with Sun Wukong!"
Princess Iron Fan handed the Falling Pearl to the Bull Demon King. Father and son then immediately rode the clouds and mist to pursue them.
Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang were walking along the mountain path when they felt an anomaly from above. They immediately looked up and saw the Bull Demon King and Hong Hai'er.
Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Ah, Brother Bull, what a coincidence!"
The Bull Demon King snorted coldly and said, "Damned monkey, for you to be my sworn brother, yet you bully my son? Since you are ignorant, hand over Tang Sanzang, and we'll eat Tang Sanzang's flesh together. Wouldn't that be more enjoyable than fetching scriptures from the West?"
Sun Wukong's expression immediately turned cold. So, the older generation was coming after the younger one had been dealt with!
"Hmph, Bull Demon King, I call you Brother out of respect for our sworn brotherhood from back then. Don't be foolish!" Sun Wukong was no pushover, and it was clear that the Bull Demon King was here with ill intentions.
"Alright, damned monkey, then let our fists decide!" As the Bull Demon King spoke, he took out a wolf-tooth mace and charged down!
Sun Wukong also pulled out his Ruyi Jingu Bang and struck!
Both staggered back considerably. After all, being called the Great Strength Bull Demon King was not for nothing. Over the years, the Bull Demon King had cultivated to the realm of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and his cultivation was exceptionally potent!
After fighting Sun Wukong for many rounds, the Bull Demon King pushed back slightly, thinking to himself, "This monkey is truly formidable. I can't defeat him in a short while. It seems I must resort to using my magic weapon!"
With this thought, the Bull Demon King produced a black pearl!
Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong felt a sense of foreboding. There was nothing he could do; he had already experienced the terror of being dominated by magic weapons!
Indeed, as soon as the pearl was produced, Sun Wukong felt a wave of dizziness. Knowing the pearl's power, Sun Wukong immediately ascended into the sky to escape. Zhu Bajie, watching from below, sighed. It seemed they were doomed to be captured.
As expected, the Bull Demon King soon waved his hand and bound them all.
Zhu Bajie no longer bothered to resist. There was no other option; he couldn't win. If even the monkey couldn't win, he certainly couldn't. Moreover, this Bull Demon King actually possessed a magic weapon, which was truly outrageous. Why was the monkey so poor, lacking any congenital spiritual treasures? Look at how many magic weapons he had suffered from on this journey!
Sun Wukong, who had flown away, did not dare to delay. He quickly went to the Heavenly Court. He needed to inquire about what that item was, so he could devise a countermeasure.
Naturally, he needed to find Shou Xing Gong. This fellow was a disciple of a sage, experienced and knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Whom else would he seek?
The Southern Pole Celestial Elder was exasperated. This monkey came to him every few days, as if this were his own home!
"Great Sage, what is it this time?" the Southern Pole Celestial Elder asked helplessly.
Sun Wukong gave a sheepish smile and said, "Esteemed Elder, do you know of a black treasure pearl, a magic weapon that can make people dizzy?"
