Great Demon Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong actually didn't recognize the Nine Kirin, and although he didn't recognize them, during the recent battle he had already spotted that the person who suddenly appeared and ambushed him was entirely a Kirin. Therefore, Sun Wukong conjectured that this definitely couldn't be unconnected to the Myriad Demons Country, and soon after Rogue Heart Sword Hero mentioned a bit about the situation with the Nine Kirin. Although Rogue Heart Sword Hero wasn't very clear on the details, he still knew roughly some information. "Could it be that the Nine Kirin were aware of my whereabouts and deliberately set up an ambush here?" After hearing what Rogue Heart Sword Hero said, Sun Wukong couldn't help but express his doubts.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero shook his head and replied, "That shouldn't be the case, if they were aware of your whereabouts, they certainly wouldn't make a move here, but would choose a more appropriate place. I think, this must only be a coincidence. Sun Wukong, monkey, where were you planning to go?" Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Rogue Heart Sword Hero asked. Sun Wukong naturally trusted these few people one hundred percent, "I was originally planning to go to the Netherworld World to look for Hei Kui, but after flying for too long, I intended to rest here!" Rogue Heart Sword Hero nodded thoughtfully and said, "I think I know what's going on now. The Nine Kirin are known to be Ling Weiyang's strongest trump card, and unless there was something particularly important, they absolutely wouldn't send them out lightly. So, since the Nine Kirin have already left the Myriad Demons Country, there must be a very important matter."

Flame God immediately added, "Haha, I thought of it too, they must also want to go to the Netherworld World, but upon seeing the monkey on their way, they decided to ambush here on the spur of the moment, though they didn't expect the three of us to be here cultivating, which can only mean their luck is really too bad." Sun Wukong then curiously asked, "Flame God, since when have you become so intelligent? You're actually able to think things through with that head of yours?" Flame God scoffed with disdain, "I might not have thought of other matters, but I'm absolutely right about this one, the Nine Kirin must be aiming to retrieve the World Suppressing Stele from the Netherworld World!"

"World Suppressing Stele? What World Suppressing Stele?" Sun Wukong was unaware of what transpired in the Myriad Demons Country afterwards, so Flame God elaborated enthusiastically on how they arrived at the Myriad Demons Country and how they obtained the Myriad Demons Country's World Suppressing Stele after fighting a chaotic battle against the Hidden Realm for three hundred rounds and repelling the Nine Kirin. Sun Wukong naturally knew Flame God's narrative was bound to be exaggerated, but he couldn't help but repeatedly express his awe, regardless of how much of Flame God's words were an embellishment, the feat itself was indeed extraordinary.

"This means, Flame God, you guys are practically heroes, but, I've suddenly thought of a problem." Flame God was feeling proud, and when he heard Sun Wukong mention a problem, thinking there was a flaw in his description, he hurriedly explained, "Well, okay I admit, our enemies weren't as many as five hundred thousand, uh, not even one hundred thousand." Sun Wukong laughed and said, "I'm not talking about that. With your strength, Flame God, couldn't you easily annihilate a million-strong army? My question is, if the Nine Kirin's goal is to regain the World Suppressing Stele, and since the Stele was taken by both Flame God and Hei Kui, what do you think is the best way for them to find out its whereabouts?"

At this moment, Hei Kui also realized something and tentatively said, "That would definitely be to capture me and Flame God, the two main culprits, and interrogate us harshly. Even if the World Suppressing Stele isn't with us, we two must surely know its location. So, in that case, they won't just let this go, will they?" Sun Wukong nodded and replied, "Correct, we all understand the importance of the World Suppressing Stele to a Divine Kingdom, and the Nine Kirin are Ling Weiyang's confidants, they definitely won't just give up easily; they must have only retreated temporarily and will surely be closely following us in secret, waiting for an opportune moment to strike!"

Rogue Heart Sword Hero had already understood what was going on as soon as Sun Wukong brought it up. Now hearing Sun Wukong finish, he immediately said, "The monkey is right, we must leave this place at once. Just dealing with the Nine Kirin is already difficult, and if there are other helpers, we certainly can't beat them!" Sha Wujing and Wu Zhiqi didn't leave after the Nine Kirin fled, and now stood behind Sun Wukong. Hence, the five exchanged glances, feeling they should immediately leave this place. Since they had already decided, they no longer hesitated. Although Sha Wujing wasn't very clear about what exactly had happened, he didn't ask anything. He only knew one thing: if Big Brother told him to fight, he would fight; if Big Brother told him to kill, he would kill. Perhaps Zhu Bajie might question Sun Wukong's decisions, but Sha Wujing wouldn't; he would always execute without hesitation. Just like the vow he made—he wanted to become the sharpest sword in Big Brother's hand, cutting down everything that Big Brother wished to cut.

But just at that moment, Sun Wukong's ears twitched, and he voiced his confusion, "Did any of you hear any strange sounds?" As soon as Sun Wukong said this, the others also started to listen intently, knowing Sun Wukong wasn't like Flame God, who would create a fuss over nothing. During the journey to the Western Paradise, Sun Wukong might have occasionally acted rashly, but now he was definitely not that kind of monkey. Listening carefully, everyone frowned slightly, as they too heard some noises. "This sound seems to be getting stronger, but it's hard to make out what exactly it is; it feels like there are thousands of troops galloping!"
