Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 904 - 789: The Strange Canyon
Chapter 904 -789: The Strange Canyon
Although he felt quite emotional inside, Sun Wukong quickly gathered all his emotions. This final battle, he was very confident, but he couldn’t afford to be careless. The lion uses all its strength to fight the rabbit, let alone the Primordial Honor. If he was careless, the final result might very well be his own death. Putting away his emotions, Sun Wukong led the White Dragon Horse at the front, and the four men and one horse set off like this.
Just like when they went to the Western Paradise to fetch the scriptures, or rather, this was the most familiar feeling for their master and disciples. Under the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes of Sun Wukong, they smoothly avoided everyone, and no one encountered Sun Wukong and his group. Although the group was walking, their speed was extremely fast, almost like shrinking the ground to an inch. In about an hour, Sun Wukong led Tang Sanzang and the others to the front of a canyon.
This canyon was not only unfamiliar to Sun Wukong, but it was also particularly familiar. Looking at the canyon that had no difference from before, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but sigh, this little monkey is really stubborn. It seems that the little monkey knew that escaping was hopeless and deliberately led the Primordial Honor here. In fact, this canyon is indeed a dangerous place, and it’s the most dangerous part of the Fallen Tomb, but for Sun Wukong, it’s nothing special, because he lived here with the little monkey for decades, already treating it as a second Flower Fruit Mountain.
The reason the little monkey brought the Primordial Honor here was to let Sun Wukong discover the Primordial Honor as soon as possible. The little monkey didn’t know if Sun Wukong could defeat the Primordial Honor, but this was the only thing he could do. And now the canyon, although it looked extraordinarily quiet from the outside, Sun Wukong knew it was already in chaos inside.
The Heavenly Patrollers, relying on the special abilities of several Law Enforcers, quickly discovered the little monkey’s trail and followed it all the way here. But because they didn’t know about the dangers inside the canyon, and also triggered the Primordial Honor’s traps, they weren’t having a good time. The nine Law Enforcers, which are nine Elixir Spirit Pills, were originally made by the Pioneer to assist in the fusion of spirits, so they have a special sense for the little monkey and others. Previously, because the little monkey was always with the Through-back Ape, the spiritual aura on the little monkey was concealed, so they never noticed. Otherwise, the situation would have become much more complicated.
Because of this, they didn’t know the Primordial Honor was with the little monkey, so they were easily caught off guard. “Master, Bajie, Old Sha, the Primordial Honor is inside, and not only that, the Heavenly Patrollers are inside too. We’ll go in directly later, ignore those law enforcers, and strike directly at the Primordial Honor. As long as the Primordial Honor is dead, the law enforcers won’t matter.” Tang Sanzang and the others nodded, now Sun Wukong’s words were their hope and also the hope of everyone.
After saying this, Sun Wukong first helped Tang Sanzang off the White Dragon Horse, then patted the Little White Dragon, who immediately returned to human form. The five people looked at each other, and then Sun Wukong took the lead, following one side of the canyon, and entered. Shortly after Sun Wukong and his group entered, the space outside the canyon suddenly wavered, and Xi Zhao, holding Gan Qi, slowly emerged. Looking at the canyon, Xi Zhao hesitated slightly, disappeared again, and it was unclear if he followed Sun Wukong’s group inside or left. After Xi Zhao’s figure vanished, on the other side of the canyon wall, someone suddenly emerged from the rock, and it was the Six-Eared Macaque. Unexpectedly, the Six-Eared Macaque didn’t follow the crowd to find the Primordial Honor but was secretly tracking Xi Zhao, who was tracking Sun Wukong, so the Six-Eared Macaque also saw Sun Wukong and the others enter the canyon.
The current Six-Eared Macaque had long since fully recovered his memory, but he didn’t reunite with Sun Wukong. Instead, he kept avoiding Sun Wukong because after recovering his memory, the Six-Eared Macaque suddenly felt that he had wronged Sun Wukong and thus didn’t have the courage to reunite with him. However, he was really worried about Sun Wukong, so he secretly followed Xi Zhao, afraid that Xi Zhao, the strongest among the group, might do harm to Sun Wukong.
Unexpectedly, he followed them here, and just as the Six-Eared Macaque was hesitating whether to enter the canyon, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. Startled, the Six-Eared Macaque instinctively swung his right hand back, but hit nothing, only seeing a flash of yellow light as a little monkey stood on the rock wall in front of him. “I say, Six-Eared, haven’t you already recovered your memory? Why are you still sneaking around like a thief?” The Six-Eared Macaque, missing his target, immediately stopped attacking and said somewhat awkwardly to the little monkey in front of him: “How do I have the face to see him, Through-Back? If you keep this up, next time I won’t be polite.”
The one who patted the Six-Eared Macaque’s shoulder was the Through-back Ape. The Through-back Ape disdainfully said: “Among us four spirit monkeys, we have a mutual understanding. You can’t not know what Sun Wukong wants to do. You’re being too cowardly, even worse than Wu Zhiqi.” The Six-Eared Macaque scratched his head and asked: “Wu Zhiqi also came?” The Through-back Ape nodded: “He sensed Sun Wukong was being beaten to near death by the Primordial Honor, so he broke through the boundary on his own and came to the Fallen Tomb, although the position was slightly off. Luckily, I found him in time, or else who knows where he would’ve gone.”
After the Through-back Ape finished speaking, another tall figure came out from behind a big tree at the edge of the canyon. The Six-Eared Macaque saw that it was indeed the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey, Wu Zhiqi of the Huai River. The Six-Eared Macaque was somewhat excited. How many years had it been since they last met? Since they left Flower Fruit Mountain that day, each going off to seek the eternal life spell, until now, the four spirit monkeys finally gathered again. Unfortunately, Sun Wukong had already entered the canyon, otherwise, the four of them would have definitely gotten very drunk. Looking at Wu Zhiqi, the Six-Eared Macaque paused and said, “Red-Buttocked, what’s this?”
Wu Zhiqi somewhat embarrassedly said, “I accidentally became the Beast Emperor, hehe. The monkey has already gone in, let’s follow suit!” The Through-back Ape shook its head and said, “If there are no accidents, Wukong can deal with the Primordial Honor. Now what we need to pay attention to is Xi Zhao. I really can’t guess what this person is thinking. Although he previously helped Zhibei kill the Demon Spirit Butcher, it’s still uncertain whether he has truly turned over a new leaf and abandoned darkness for light. Six-Eared, use the Primordial Earth to conceal us as well. If Xi Zhao has any sinister intentions, we will immediately take action.”
Six-Eared and Red-Buttocked both nodded, then Six-Eared reached out and tapped both of their foreheads, subsequently integrating the two with the mountain wall along with the Six-Eared Macaque. Sun Wukong, entering the canyon, did not notice that so many people were following him.
After entering the canyon, Sun Wukong immediately saw the wreckage everywhere—the traces of a battle were all around, along with many broken corpses. However, he did not discover any Law Enforcers. Sun Wukong was not anxious, instead, he drew out the Jingu Bang and, with Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Little White Dragon protecting Tang Sanzang in the center, they slowly advanced toward the depths of the canyon. The reason this canyon is said to be the most treacherous place in the Fallen Tomb is because it contains nearly seventy percent of the spirits within the tomb, all cultivated into human forms.
The Fallen Tomb is the battlefield of an ancient epic war, where countless mighty spirits remained. After the little monkey was born, it gathered these powerful and complete spirits in this canyon, using its own emitted spirit to nourish them. Over millions of years, hundreds of strong spirits have been born in this canyon, all with powers above Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade. In addition, there are two other canyons with the Three Spirits Flower, each having more than ten Heavenly Venerables, which is why Sun Wukong was beaten black and blue, severely injured in the canyon before.
Now, with Sun Wukong’s group moving deeper, they have seen at least thirty corpses. These people should not have been killed by the Primordial Honor because the Primordial Honor has the little monkey. It means these people were dealt with by the Law Enforcers. There is one thing Sun Wukong doesn’t understand: with the Primordial Honor’s caution, it should have been impossible for him to agree to merge here because this place is full of the little monkey’s subordinates. If they suddenly strike while he is absorbing, the Primordial Honor certainly faces death, not eternal life. But actually, the Primordial Honor came here and chose this place for merging spirits. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Besides this, Sun Wukong noticed that along the way, apart from the corpses and battle traces, there were no arrays or traps found, which is even more peculiar. It didn’t take too much time; Sun Wukong and others reached the deepest part of the canyon after a turn.
However, the scene Sun Wukong imagined did not appear. What appeared before Sun Wukong was just a stone. Looking at the stone on the ground, a bad thought suddenly crossed Sun Wukong’s mind. Considering what he had just seen, Sun Wukong almost immediately understood what had happened here. Without any hesitation, Sun Wukong turned and sprinted to the canyon entrance, simultaneously using spiritual power to sweep Tang Sanzang and the others along.
Sun Wukong’s sudden action left Tang Sanzang’s group completely puzzled, but Sun Wukong seemed to have discovered something unbelievable, leaving no time for explanations. When Sun Wukong reached the canyon entrance, in the depths of the canyon, Xi Zhao’s divine presence gradually emerged. Bending down to pick up the stone on the ground and looking at the stones on both sides of the canyon, Xi Zhao also realized something, cursed quietly, and without even concealing his form, immediately flew out wildly.
“Through-back, what’s going on?”
In the middle of the canyon, Six-Eared Macaque and the others emerged again, looking at Xi Zhao’s remaining silhouette, Wu Zhiqi asked puzzledly. The Through-back Ape initially wore a face full of doubts too, but upon seeing the corpses on the ground, his expression suddenly changed, pulling the two of them again to hide in the mountain wall without saying a word.
Suddenly, the canyon became empty and deserted, as if no one had ever been there. (To be continued.
