As the master and disciples journeyed on, they gradually arrived in a mountain range!
Sun Wukong stopped, took a glance, and said, "This mountain range must harbor demons. The demonic energy is pervasive, yet it doesn't seem formidable. Bajie, come with me to eliminate this demon!"
Zhu Bajie took a look. Indeed, it was as the monkey said. These seemed to be minor demons, so there would be no problem!
Subsequently, the two headed towards the mountain range!
Sha Wujing remained behind to protect Tang Sanzang, preventing any impudent minor demons from approaching!
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie arrived at the mountain range and discovered a cave dwelling, inscribed with "Pansi Cave"!
Sun Wukong curled his lips, assuming it was some provincial demon, and shouted, "Demon, come out!"
Soon, seven women emerged from the cave dwelling. Each was alluring, but their attire was revealing, their tops loosely open, exposing a large expanse of their bellies!
"Ah, seven female demons!" Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up!
Sun Wukong bared his teeth at Zhu Bajie, this simpleton, still unable to curb his bad habits!
"Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie? It seems Tang Sanzang has arrived. We hadn't sought you out, and you've delivered yourselves, haha!" the leading woman among them suddenly burst into laughter!
Sun Wukong immediately swung his staff. There was no need for further questioning!
The leading woman quickly dodged, and simultaneously shot a silk thread from her belly, ensnaring the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
With a pull, Sun Wukong felt his grip loosen, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang was snatched away!
He then saw that Zhu Bajie was already wrapped in the silk threads, almost pulled into the cave dwelling!
Sun Wukong sneered, took out his spiritual treasure, the Banana Leaf Fan, chanted the incantation, and with one gust, the seven female demons turned ashen with shock. Blown by the wind, they were sent to an unknown location!
Sun Wukong retrieved his Ruyi Jingu Bang, broke free from the silk threads, and rescued Zhu Bajie, saying, "Fortunately, this old grandson has a treasure!"
Zhu Bajie smacked his lips. This monkey had some skill. Having obtained the Banana Leaf Fan from Patriarch Hongyun, it felt truly exhilarating!
Zhu Bajie glanced at Pansi Cave. Seeing many small spiders within, he immediately conjured a fire and burned the entire Pansi Cave to ashes!
After returning, the two continued their journey!
Meanwhile, the seven spider spirits, who had been blown away, were severely wounded and in a sorry state. The power of the Banana Leaf Fan was simply immense. As they limped back to Pansi Cave, they discovered their dwelling had been utterly incinerated, and they were filled with rage!
Without a doubt, they knew who was responsible!
Therefore, they sought out their elder brother, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon!
"Sisters, what has happened to you?" the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon exclaimed, shocked to see his seven sisters in such a sorry state!
"Elder brother, you must avenge your little sisters! That Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie have bullied us and burned down our Pansi Cave!" one of the spider spirits cried out!
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon was furious. brandishing his sword, he declared, "Sisters, lead the way! I shall seek justice for you!"
"Elder brother, don't be hasty! That monkey possesses a formidable magical treasure. With one gust, the wind is incredibly powerful, blowing us ten thousand eight thousand li away!" one of the spider spirits explained!
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon furrowed his brow. It seemed this treasure would also trouble him.
He had heard of this item. It was likely the legendary innate spiritual treasure, the Banana Leaf Fan!
"Elder brother, what is it?" the leading spider spirit inquired, sensing his hesitation!
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon chuckled wryly, "Heh heh, I know that fan. In the past, it was a treasure of the Sages and great powers of the ancient era. It is said to have originated from Mount Buzhou as an innate spiritual treasure. There are four such fans. This one should be the wind fan, capable of blowing things ten thousand eight thousand li away!"
"Then what can we do? Is there any way to counter it?" the spider spirits asked!
"Yes, unless one possesses the Wind-Suppressing Pearl. Ah, in the past, I had a fellow Daoist who resided in the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave of Mount Jiuding Iron Fork, Daoist Du'e. He has the Wind-Suppressing Pearl!" The Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon was overjoyed and immediately said, "I shall return shortly!"
Thus, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon went to seek out Daoist Du'e!
Arriving near West Kunlun, at the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon called out, "Is Daoist Du'e present?"
Soon, a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe emerged from the cave dwelling. Upon seeing the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon, he smiled and said, "True Lord Thousand-Eyes, it has been a long time. Please, come in!"
After a brief period of catching up, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon stated, "Fellow Daoist, I wish to borrow your Wind-Suppressing Pearl. A demon monkey, relying on the Banana Leaf Fan, has insulted us!"
Daoist Du'e was also straightforward and directly gave the Wind-Suppressing Pearl to the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon!
Upon the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon's return, the seven spider spirits rushed to meet him, eagerly inquiring about the situation!
Once their questions were answered affirmatively, the seven spider spirits were greatly delighted!
When they finally found Tang Sanzang, the master and his disciples were resting in a dilapidated temple!
The Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon, emboldened by the Wind-Suppressing Pearl, charged in. As for the seven spider spirits, they lay in ambush, ready to provide support!
"Master, be careful!" Sun Wukong leaped up, raising his Ruyi Jingu Bang to strike!
As the two clashed, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon's golden body was powerful, and he actually pushed Sun Wukong back step by step!
Sun Wukong was greatly alarmed. This demon was indeed formidable!
He then took out the Banana Leaf Fan and fanned it towards the demon!
Instantly, dust and stones flew. However, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon possessed the Wind-Suppressing Pearl. Under the force of the Banana Leaf Fan, he remained utterly still!
Sun Wukong was stunned. He had never imagined his treasure would be ineffective!
At this moment, the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Demon shed his outer garment, revealing his body covered in eyes, from which countless golden beams of light emanated, causing Sun Wukong to reel in dizziness. With no recourse, Sun Wukong could only escape with a somersault cloud!
Then, the seven spider spirits rushed out, shooting out silk threads and capturing Zhu Bajie and the others!
Sun Wukong, having flown a considerable distance, shook his somewhat dizzy head, momentarily bewildered. From afar, he used his Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze to observe. It was a centipede demon, but why was this centipede demon so powerful!
He possessed the Divine Protection Bead, yet it could not resist the golden light emanating from the centipede demon's eyes. This was truly preposterous!
Subsequently, Sun Wukong took a somersault cloud and ascended to the Heavenly Court. When encountering difficulties, the first recourse was the Heavenly Court!
After all, Sun Wukong was very familiar with the Heavenly Court!
"Immortal Elder, are you drinking again?" Sun Wukong chuckled, while also taking a sip of wine!
"Great Sage, you've come again? This is His Highness Angri Star Lord!" the Southern Pole Immortal Elder said with a smile!
"Heh heh, greetings, Star Lord!" Sun Wukong saluted! Angri Star Lord also nodded. They had met before, during the time in Baoxiang Kingdom, when they went to fetch Kui Mulang.
"Immortal Elder, I wonder if there are any immortals in the Heavenly Court who can subdue a centipede demon? I recently encountered one, and I am unable to deal with him!" Sun Wukong immediately inquired!
The Southern Pole Immortal Elder's gaze became peculiar. He glanced at Angri Star Lord, knowing that this deity's mother was the nemesis of such venomous creatures!
