Chapter 606 -607: Night Meeting with the Three Monsters (Fourth Update!)
Jiang Liu’er and a few others disguised themselves briefly, posing as Taoists to infiltrate the Chechi Kingdom and settled in the Wisdom Abyss Temple. Yuan Hong, together with Zhu Bajie and Sandy Monk, snuck into the Three Purities Temple to steal food, a scenario not much different from what Sun Wukong had experienced in his past life. Sun Wukong did not bother with them and went straight on a cloud to the Three Purities Temple, waiting in the demons’ sleeping quarters.

Soon, the three demons entered, pushing the door open with frustrated looks on their faces and muttering curses under their breath.
“Damn Eastern Land demon monks, how dare they toy with us like this? If I catch them, I’ll flay them alive and hang their bodies for public display!”
“From the sound of it, they must have just arrived in the Chechi Kingdom. They will surely go to exchange their travel documents tomorrow. We must capture them when we attend the court tomorrow!”
“A few foreign monks dare to run wild on our turf? Tomorrow we’ll definitely send their souls to the Netherworld, leaving them without a place to bury their bodies!”
Their ranting reached Sun Wukong’s ears, causing him to chuckle coldly, “With your minor tricks, you also want to dismember people? Aren’t you afraid of breaking yourselves first?”
“Who’s there?”
The three demons were shocked. Deer Immortal quickly lit an oil lamp and saw Sun Wukong sitting on the Taishi Chair, his expression uncertain, “Who are you, running into our Taoist temple like this? What are you trying to do?”
“You can’t recognize who I am?”
Sun Wukong did not answer directly; instead, he sat with a cold smile on the Taishi Chair. His appearance and name had already spread far and wide, and since these three demons worshiped the Taoist Three Purities, there was no reason for them not to recognize him!
Sure enough, upon hearing this and examining him more closely, the three demons changed their expressions simultaneously: “You are, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven?”
“Exactly, it’s me!”
Sun Wukong laughed out loud and nodded, an indescribable arrogance in his expression, “Now you know who I am. So, are you still thinking of making a move?”
“No, no, no! Great Sage, you misunderstand!”
“What Great Sage? Call me Sect Hierarch!”
“Yes, yes, yes, Sect Hierarch, you misunderstand, misunderstand! We wouldn’t dare to lift a finger against you, Sect Hierarch! With just a flick of your little finger, you could grind us to dust!”
The three demons smiled obsequiously. Sun Wukong was not only the Great Sage Equalling Heaven but also the Hierarch of the Demon Cult. This title had indeed spread throughout the Three Realms, and there was no member of the Demon Clan who did not know of it.
“Enough, enough, stop with the flattering talk. Do you know that a great disaster is about to befall you?”
Sun Wukong waved his hand to stop the demons’ ongoing flattery and said coldly.
“A great disaster is about to befall us?”
The three demons were stunned and looked at each other, “We are unaware, please enlighten us, Sect Hierarch!”
“Did you not encounter three monks from the Great Tang of the Eastern Land coming to seek scriptures in the Western Heaven tonight?”
“Yes! Those detestable monks, they actually used urine as holy water to make fools of us. Tomorrow we definitely will go to the court to report to the king and demand their lives in compensation!”
The demons listened and their faces turned to one of furious anger, murderous intent spreading all around them.
“It’s likely your lives will be the ones forfeited!”
Sun Wukong snorted disdainfully, “With your little skills, you also dare to fight to the death with others? Your day of demise isn’t far off!”
With a wave of his hand, an image appeared within the hall—it was a scene of the demons’ previous lives meeting their demise, only Sun Wukong’s face was obscured. “Look, competing with others in beheading, heart-splitting, and boiling in oil, in the end, one became a headless ghost, one a soul without a heart, and one charred to the bone, with only a skeleton remaining. Thousands of years of cultivation all turned to nothing. Isn’t that imminent disaster?”
“Sect Hierarch, please save our lives!”
Upon viewing that, the demons, thinking it was Sun Wukong foreseeing their fateful end through the Heavenly Dao, were terrified to the point of pallor, hastily kneeling on the ground and begging Sun Wukong with kowtows.
“Enough, get up! What kind of behavior is this weeping and wailing?”
After Sun Wukong waved his hand for the demons to stand up, he sized them up and said with a tilted glance, “I, old Sun, see you have some capabilities. Why do you behave recklessly in Chechi Kingdom instead of going to the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing to Flower-Fruit Mountain? Even if here you establish a sect and propagate the teachings, why follow that nonsense Taoism and not honor my Demon Cult?”
Upon hearing this, the demons hurriedly kowtowed again and admitted their mistake. Goat Immortal explained while kowtowing, “Sect Hierarch, it’s not that we don’t want to go to the Northern Continent, but our cultivation is meager. We fear we won’t be of much use if we went, thinking to cultivate for some more years in Chechi Kingdom, attain the Da Luo level, and then proceed without being looked down upon.”
“Exactly, precisely that, we originally intended to spread the teachings of the Demon Cult in this land. However, the people of the Southern Continent only recognize the Buddhist and Taoist Sects and are unaware of our Demon Cult’s divine skills. We had no choice but to conform to local customs for a time, using the identity of Taoists to suppress the Buddhist teachings. Once we gain complete control of Chechi Kingdom, we can then propagate the teachings of the Demon Cult, it’s not too late then!” Deer Immortal added from the side.
“Oh, so you are saying you actually took great pains?”
Sun Wukong couldn’t help but scoff coldly, “Do you think I look like the kind of fool who can be easily convinced by a few words from you three?”
Feeling the rising killing intent from Sun Wukong, the demons broke out in cold sweat. Sun Wukong’s formidable reputation was already widespread across the Three Realms. He had never backed down even half a step facing either Tathagata Buddha or Primordial Heavenly Venerable, combatting the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court to tears, and now even more so as the head of a sect, how could they afford to provoke him?
If they angered Sun Wukong, not only was escaping from his hands doubtful, but even if they somehow managed to save their lives, they would have nowhere to stand within the Demon Clan of the Three Realms.
“Sect Hierarch, calm your anger, please calm your anger! We three brothers had no such intention, absolutely no such intention!”
Sheep Immortal gritted his teeth and admitted outright, “Sect Hierarch, although we are of the Demon Clan, we cultivated using the Dharma Methods of Taoism, based on the Five Thunder Law, each of us also learned significant skills, so we honored the Three Purities and wore Taoist robes. If it displeases you, the three of us will inform the king tomorrow and switch to the Demon Cult, please temper your thunderous rage!”
“You have some sense indeed!”
Sun Wukong laughed, “Very well, do as you said. But before that, you still have to compete with that monk from the Eastern Land!”
“Still have to compete?”
The demons were taken aback, “Sect Hierarch, haven’t you already foreseen our ending? If we still go to compete, we’ll lose our lives!”
“With old Sun here, would I let you lose your lives?”
Sun Wukong glanced at the demons sideways, “Tomorrow you just focus on competing. I, old Sun, will assist you covertly. Remember, first compete in your Taoist robes. If you don’t win, then switch back to the Demon Cult’s attire for a rematch. In this way, the superiority of our Demon Cult will be shown. Understand?”
