Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System

Dark clouds filled the sky as turbulent waves surged fiercely, alarming all the monkeys on the mountain and the seventy-two demon kings who forgot about defending their camps and practicing their formations.

"Don't panic, my children, don't panic!" Sun Wukong called out, soaring into the sky, where he saw from afar the presumptuous figure of the sea serpent coming to seek retribution, igniting fury in his heart.

"Who are you, demon, to dare to attack my Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain!"

"Hmph!" The sea serpent transformed into a woman in green, standing defiantly upon the crest of a wave. "Is there really someone within the four seas who does not know the name of the Sea Dragon King of the North Sea?"

"Sea Dragon King?" Sun Wukong scratched his face, demanding, "You unreasonable woman, tell me clearly, when have I ever killed your subordinates?"

"Have you been to the Murky Water Cave of Kan Yuan Mountain some time ago?" the Sea Dragon King asked.

"So what if I have?" Sun Wukong sneered. "That vile bird demon bullied my children and even aimed to occupy my Water Curtain Cave Residence, so I taught him a lesson, yet I did not take his life.

You falsely accuse me of such things, truly unreasonable, and for that, you deserve a beating!"

The Sea Dragon King raged, "The few little demons that survived saw with their own eyes that it was you who killed the vile bird demon, setting fire to the Murky Water Cave. This is solid evidence, how dare you still argue?

To kill is to kill; yet you refuse to admit it, you mountain monkey, truly shameless and hypocritical to the extreme."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, with your sharp tongue, you're asking for a beating!" Sun Wukong hated being wrongfully accused more than anything.

With a shake of his body, he used the Law of Heaven and Earth, taking several steps in the air to reach above the sea, his fist as large as a mountain, and smashed it down with immense force.

Seeing that fist, the Sea Dragon King's face changed dramatically. A Daluo Golden Immortal? How could this Monkey King be so powerful?!

She gritted her teeth and a Water-Cleaving Sword appeared in her hand. Knowing she was no match, she still swung her sword to meet the attack.

Just then, an urgent shout came from afar: "Big fellow, give me, the Demon King Bull, some face, stop your hand!"

At the same time, an iron rod shattered the void, striking towards Sun Wukong's fist.

"You think to overpower me with numbers?" Sun Wukong sneered, his fist turning into a palm, grabbing the iron rod without another word, taking hold of the magical weapon.

The laws of stick-fighting instantly unfolded, and the great shadow of the rod transformed, directly knocking the Sea Dragon King off the wave's crest, reverting her back to her serpent form, and flinging her far into the emptiness of space.

Had she not been of the Golden Immortal realm, that single strike could have dispersed her soul.

"You unreasonable woman, I mercifully spared that vile bird demon's life, yet you insist on accusing me of his death; I despise you to the utmost!"

Bang!

Sun Wukong rushed to the Sea Dragon King, who had been knocked flying, and swung his rod again.

This strike was bound to smash the arrogant sea serpent into pulp.

"Good fellow, there must be some misunderstanding; hold your hand and let's talk!" The same voice shouted again, revealing to be a hulking demon clad in a red robe.

He had fearsome horns, eyes shining as bright as mirrors, brows as red as rainbows, a mouth gaping like a blood bowl, and teeth lined like copper plates.

As he spoke, he had already approached, growing to a thousand feet tall, and stood in front of the sea serpent.

Boom!

Sun Wukong, with his imposing momentum, brought down a crushing blow with his rod, knocking both the bullish brute and the sea serpent into the sea, causing sky-high waves.

These successive strikes did not quell the rage in his heart; rather, the fury grew stronger.

At that moment, several figures rapidly approached from afar, each with not a weak presence.

"Heh, heh!" Sun Wukong laughed angrily, "Do you really think I, the Great Sage, can be bullied?"

The iron rod swung up again, hurtling towards the four new demon kings.

With the supreme realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal, added to the Power of Laws of the rod technique, a wild surge followed each swing of the rod.

The faces of those four new demon kings changed drastically. Swearing angrily as they faced their enemy, they each used their Divine Skills, yet still they were no match, all swept into the sea.

In that brief moment, the Bull Demon King had already helped the Sea Dragon King, who was continuously spitting blood, to break through the water's surface, both reverting to human forms.

Sun Wukong's aura was as unstoppable as a rainbow, and he readied his rod to strike again.

"Stop, stop, harmony is most precious!" the Demon King Niu hurriedly waved his hands.

"You think she values harmony? She's clearly unreasonable!" Sun Wukong sneered coldly.

"Big guy, there must be some misunderstanding," the Demon King Niu said. "What if someone is stirring up trouble? If we fight to the death, wouldn't that just play right into the perpetrator's scheme?"

"Hmm, stirring up trouble?" When Sun Wukong heard these words, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through his mind, and he suddenly awoke, his eyes' angry glare instantly subsiding.

Right, how could I forget about that instigator?

And, the Demon King Hunshi is dead?

Why would the Demon King Jiao slander him for killing Demon King Hunshi?

Moreover, why would he go to Aolai Country to cast spells and steal weapons?

Previously, a senior netizen on Zhihu had mentioned that after he killed Demon King Hunshi, his temperament changed drastically, stealing weapons in Aolai Country, causing trouble in the Dragon Palace, and stirring the underworld, becoming a new Demon King Hunshi.

That's why he had been on guard, determined not to do such things.

But now, he had actually gone to Aolai Country and stolen weapons?

Reflecting on his actions during this period, he really seemed to be possessed, filled with confusion, driven by malevolent thoughts to engage in fierce fights, and harboring grand ambitions for great endeavors.

So, looking back, who killed Demon King Hunshi?

The Demon King Jiao just said that it was several little demons who survived that witnessed him kill Demon King Hunshi and then set fire to the Murky Water Cave.

Considering this, Sun Wukong already had a guess in his heart—it was probably the instigator who transformed into his likeness and framed him.

But there remained a question, if it was the instigator who killed Demon King Hunshi and not him, why did he still end up reverting to his demonic nature, experiencing evil thoughts and desires?

At this moment, while Sun Wukong was silently pondering, the other four Demon Kings emerged from the water and cautiously approached Demon King Niu.

The six Demon Kings exchanged glances. They were some of the top Demon Kings in the demon realm, who, if they joined forces, would have few adversaries unless they faced a Quasi-Saint.

How could it be that a monkey king, hardly known by reputation, had defeated all six of them?

Of course, the six Demon Kings also understood that they hadn't truly joined forces this time, which was why the monkey king had been able to defeat them one by one.

Should they align their forces for another battle, the outcome would certainly be different.

Though they thought this, Demon King Niu shook his head at the other five Demon Kings, signaling that they should value peace, and besides, they were in the wrong this time.

"Big guy, we have offended you just now and we haven't yet asked for your esteemed name," Demon King Niu said with a clasped hand salute.

Sun Wukong, who naturally enjoyed making friends and couldn't resist flattery, immediately lost most of his anger and responded with a salute, "I am Sun Wukong, honored by my children as the Handsome Monkey King."

"Little sister, quickly apologize to Brother Wukong," Demon King Niu said to Demon King Jiao, not calling him monkey king but directly referring to him as brother.

By now, Demon King Jiao had realized that given Sun Wukong's strength, if he really had killed Demon King Hunshi, he would certainly not deny it, as it was a matter of pride for a Daluo warrior!

Therefore, even though she had been beaten to near death, she harbored no resentment.

"I was wrong in this matter. Beforehand, I did not investigate clearly and wrongfully accused the monkey king. I ask for your forgiveness!" Demon King Jiao, dressed in green with a pale face, bowed deeply and sincerely apologized.

"Hmm," Sun Wukong replied curtly, with a stern face.

"Brother Wukong, rest assured, we will definitely get to the bottom of this," Demon King Niu quickly added. "And I believe with your strength, you do not deign to lie. If you killed, then it's a kill; there would be no denial."

"Of course!" Sun Wukong replied proudly. "Since you're going to get to the bottom of it, let me be clear,

I heard straight from the mouth of Demon King Hunshi Bird that it was under the incitement of a mysterious person shrouded in a black robe that he set his sights on my Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain,

So I didn't kill him; instead, I placed a curse on him so that when he saw the instigator again, he would come and inform me.

What happened afterward in the Murky Water Cave, I do not know.

I suspect the instigator, failing in his plot against me, was infuriated and thus killed Demon King Hunshi Bird and burned down his residence."
