In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Chapter 118 The reinforcements didn't arrive.

The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge are powerful and ruthless, and since he is being targeted, they will definitely come to capture him again.

After careful consideration, Chen Yi felt that instead of fighting these three monsters to the death, it would be more appropriate to call for reinforcements.

So Chen Yi lowered his voice and said to Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, in my opinion, we should just go directly to the masters of those three monsters and ask them to subdue these guys."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with great interest, "Oh? Is that so? Then tell me quickly, what kind of backers do these three demons have?"

He guessed that the three demons had powerful backers, otherwise they wouldn't have magical treasures and could do evil at the foot of Mount Ling without restraint. He was also curious about which gods were their backers.

Chen Yiqing cleared his throat and replied, "Great Sage, you may not know this, but the green lion is the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva; the white elephant is the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva; and as for the roc, it is the uncle of the Buddha!"

Upon hearing these words, Sun Wukong couldn't help but sneer, his face filled with mockery: "Hmph! No wonder this Roc dared to devour an entire nation; it turns out he has the Buddha backing him up!"

"It seems that even the Buddha turned a blind eye to this matter out of kinship."

After a brief pause, Sun Wukong turned to Sha Wujing beside him and instructed, "Junior Brother Sha, I am going to the Western Paradise to ask Buddha to subdue the demons. You stay here with Pigsy and protect the little monk well. Do not let those three demons have any chance to take advantage of us."

Sha Wujing quickly nodded and replied, "Alright, Senior Brother, go ahead without worry. I will definitely protect Master."

Having said that, Sha Wujing, holding his staff, stood guard beside Chen Yi with utmost concentration.

Sun Wukong nodded to him and rode on auspicious clouds toward Mount Ling.

……

After about an hour, Sun Wukong returned.

Chen Yi stared at him in astonishment, exclaiming, "Great Sage, how could it be so fast this time? Those three demons from Lion Camel Ridge were captured so quickly?"

Sun Wukong shook his head with a gloomy expression.

"We couldn't get one."

As soon as he arrived at Lingshan, he was blocked at the entrance by the four fierce-looking Vajra, who refused to let him pass.

Unable to see the Buddha, he had no choice but to return dejectedly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi also sighed helplessly.

Sha Wujing: "Then what should we do?"

Pigsy: "Since even Buddha is abandoning us, what are we waiting for? Let's just break up the group!"

"Master! Quickly get the luggage out so we can divide it up!"

“From now on, Master, you and Senior Brother will return to Flower Fruit Mountain, I will return to my Gao Village, and Junior Brother Sha, you will return to your Flowing Sand River!”

It must be said that Pigsy's later words, asking him to take the little monk back to Flower Fruit Mountain, were like a fire, igniting Sun Wukong's inner desire; he too wanted to take the little monk back to Flower Fruit Mountain.

But the journey to the West was not yet complete, so how could Buddha let it go? He did not want to be suppressed for another five hundred years.

Sun Wukong: "Fatty Pig, don't come up with such a terrible idea! When Buddha punishes you, you'll be in for it!"

Upon hearing this, Pigsy dared not mention the matter of breaking up the group again. He sat to the side, sulking alone.

Sun Wukong comforted them, saying, "With me here, what are you afraid of? I will naturally subdue those three monsters!"

"Bajie, after lunch, come with me to subdue the demon."

Pigsy wanted to refuse, but seeing the threatening look in Sun Wukong's eyes, he paused and dared not argue. He could only nod unhappily in agreement.
