Although Tathagata vaguely sensed something was amiss, he also felt it was unlikely that Kong Xuan's true form had gone. After all, Kong Xuan was now the Grand Emperor Gouchen, a peak Quasi-Sage expert, and wouldn't stoop to such a disgraceful act to obstruct them. Did the Heavenly Court have no pride? An Emperor descending to the mortal realm to act as a demon? That was preposterous!
At this very moment, Sun Wukong had already reunited with Tang Sanzang and the others!
Zhu Bajie saw the Monkey back and asked, "Brother Monkey, did you get a magic treasure to deal with that demon?"
He knew that Sun Wukong must have gone to retrieve a treasure, but it shouldn't be easy to borrow an ultimate innate spiritual treasure!
Sun Wukong nodded, took out the Strengthening Divine Staff that Tathagata had given him, and said, "This is the spiritual treasure Old Man Tathagata gave me. It's said to be able to restrain that demon's spiritual treasure. Come on, dummy, let's take down that demon together!"
Zhu Bajie blinked his eyes and chuckled sheepishly, "Uh, Brother Monkey, maybe I won't go!"
Sun Wukong immediately twisted Zhu Bajie's ear and said, "Dummy, hurry up, those little demons still need you to deal with!"
Zhu Bajie had no choice but to follow. In reality, Zhu Bajie was not optimistic. There was nothing he could do. That person had four divine swords behind him. If it were the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the two of them would just be sending themselves to their doom!
At this moment, Zhu Bajie had already made a guess about the Colorful Great King. Could it be Grand Emperor Gouchen himself descending to the mortal realm? He couldn't help it; their Peacock clan didn't seem to have any powerful figures, and he hadn't heard of any. But look at what happened just now, that guy could defeat Monkey, at least he was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
The Peacock clan had Grand Unity Golden Immortals? Zhu Bajie didn't believe it!
If it were that peacock Kong Xuan, no matter how many of them went, they would be sent to their doom. Although they wouldn't be killed, they would surely suffer some torment!
That's why Zhu Bajie didn't want to go, especially didn't want to go. But the damned monkey was dragging him, so he had no choice but to go!
Arriving outside the cave dwelling, Sun Wukong shouted, "Demon, come out and die!"
Soon, the Colorful Great King came out with his subordinate little demons!
Seeing Sun Wukong, the Colorful Great King sneered and laughed, "Oh, Bi Ma Wen, you escaped earlier, and now you dare to come and die?"
The little demons under the Colorful Great King immediately burst into laughter, their mocking sounds exceptionally piercing!
However, Monkey was not in a hurry. He carefully examined the Colorful Great King but could discern nothing. He had to give up and raised his Golden Cudgel to strike!
The Colorful Great King calmly took out the Purple Lightning Hammer. Seeing that Sun Wukong hadn't struck, the Colorful Great King was surprised, but it didn't matter. He directly threw the Purple Lightning Hammer towards Sun Wukong!
At this moment, Sun Wukong took out the Strengthening Divine Staff and threw it out. Seeing the two magic treasures entangled, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and charged at the Colorful Great King with his Golden Cudgel!
Facing Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel, the Colorful Great King didn't even move, letting Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel strike him!
This time, Sun Wukong panicked a little. This guy was too calm. Did he not feel threatened by his full-power strike?
But the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be fired. Just as Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel was about to land on the Colorful Great King, a red lotus appeared on the Colorful Great King's body. A phantom of a lotus directly blocked Sun Wukong's powerful blow!
Just as Sun Wukong was bewildered, Zhu Bajie grabbed Sun Wukong and said, "Brother Monkey, run quickly!"
Although Sun Wukong didn't understand, he still put away the Strengthening Divine Staff and fled!
The Colorful Great King didn't pursue, but instead smiled and said, "I'll see you again!"
After Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had run far away, Sun Wukong anxiously asked, "Dummy, what's wrong? Why did we suddenly have to run?"
Zhu Bajie was speechless. Your full-power strike didn't even injure him one bit. Don't you have any self-awareness? Didn't you see that red lotus? That was the Twelve-Grade Karma Red Lotus!
Do you know what an ultimate existence the Twelve-Grade is?
"Brother Monkey, this demon is definitely from Kong Xuan's lineage! He's too extraordinary!" Zhu Bajie said helplessly, lying on the ground!
There was nothing he could do. They couldn't win. The spiritual treasures were like they were free, and they were all ultimate innate spiritual treasures. How could they fight this?
"What do you mean?" Sun Wukong asked!
"That lotus is the Twelve-Grade Karma Red Lotus, an ultimate innate spiritual treasure, with both offense and defense integrated. Not only that, the four lotuses that existed from the beginning of creation are all extraordinary!" Zhu Bajie said!
Sun Wukong also lay on the side, feeling a bit weary. How could there be ultimate innate spiritual treasures, and they even integrated offense and defense? How could they fight this?
"Forget it, Brother Monkey, let's take a detour," Zhu Bajie said!
Sun Wukong nodded. They could only do this. If they couldn't win, couldn't they still run?
However, when the two of them returned, they were stunned because their master was gone, along with their luggage and the white horse!
Sun Wukong quickly stomped his foot and summoned the local deity. After asking, he learned that it was the Colorful Great King inside who had sent a group of little demons to capture Tang Sanzang and the others.
"Alright, we should just disband. We can't win, and we can't escape. What should we do?" Zhu Bajie said speechlessly!
Sun Wukong could only roll his eyes and say, "I'll go to Spirit Mountain right now to find some help!"
As Sun Wukong spoke, he once again used his somersault cloud and went to the Western Spirit Mountain!
On Spirit Mountain, the Buddha saw Sun Wukong return and asked curiously, "Wukong, what's wrong again?"
Sun Wukong was also tired and directly lay on the ground, saying, "Buddha, this scripture-fetching mission cannot be completed. Master was captured by the Colorful Great King, and that guy also has an ultimate innate spiritual treasure. I heard it's the Twelve-Grade Karma Red Lotus, integrating offense and defense. How can we fight this?"
The various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looked at each other. The Karma Red Lotus, what was the origin of this Colorful Great King?
Tathagata's expression turned grim. He had already guessed. It was likely Kong Xuan. There was no other explanation for so many ultimate innate spiritual treasures, all from the Jie Sect, and with such high cultivation. It was probably Kong Xuan without a doubt!
"Wukong, as the saying goes, destruction counters creation, and karma counters merit! I will lend you this Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus!" Tathagata said!
Sun Wukong immediately jumped up and said, "Buddha, but that demon is very powerful. I, your humble servant, estimate I can't win. Why don't you accompany me on this trip directly?"
Tathagata smiled and shook his head, "Let Guanyin accompany you on this trip!"
Guanyin nodded and directly took the two spiritual treasures given by Tathagata, which were the Strengthening Divine Staff and the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus!
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the Colorful Great King's cave dwelling. Guanyin directly flew into the sky and said, "You go and challenge him!"
Sun Wukong called out again!
The Colorful Great King came out with his little demons. Seeing Sun Wukong, he said, "Monkey, what? Where is that pig? Did he disband and run away?"
Sun Wukong was stunned, and then furious. This demon must have eavesdropped on their conversation, otherwise, how could he have known this!
