Chapter 91 - 089: Strategizing to Capture Opportunities
Mu Zha arrived at Dongsheng Immortal State and entered Li Jing’s military camp, asking a junior officer to inform Li Jing of his arrival.
"I am the second prince of King Li, you must go and report quickly."
Having heard the news, Li Jing brought Mu Zha into the central military tent and asked, "Mu Zha, what brings you here?"
Mu Zha replied, "Father, I was attending the Flat Peach Festival with the Bodhisattva when we saw the place in disarray. The Bodhisattva inquired about the cause. I heard that you had been defeated in a battle, so I came to help you capture the Demon Monkey."
King Li sighed, "The Demon Monkey is formidable, having reached the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal. There are also five other Great Demon Kings within Flower-Fruit Mountain. I just don’t know where the second one, Jiao Demon King, has gone. Just the other day, the Demon Monkey stole our camp, and Nezha, your brother, was injured by the Great Strength Bull Demon King. We suffered a great defeat and still haven’t found a way to break through Flower-Fruit Mountain and capture the Demon Monkey."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zha also felt secretly alarmed. As a Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Third Heaven, how could he be a match for the Demon Monkey? It seems he was indeed being too overconfident. He could only say, "Then I’ll go up to the Celestial Palace and report to the Jade Emperor to see how he deals with it."
Li Jing said, "Go quickly, and let His Majesty think of a method to defeat the enemy, or go to the Hook Chen Palace and ask for Hook Chen Emperor to handle this matter."
Mu Zha received the order and left. He had hoped to make an impression but hadn’t expected the Demon Monkey to be so formidable. To avoid endangering his life, it was still best to inform the Bodhisattva and the Jade Emperor. Upon reaching heaven, he reported the matter to the Jade Emperor and the Bodhisattva, who frowned repeatedly upon hearing it.
The Bodhisattva then said, "Your Majesty, this humble monk recommends someone who might be able to capture the Demon Monkey."
His Majesty said, "Bodhisattva, please speak."
The Bodhisattva said, "It is Your Majesty’s nephew, True Lord Erlang, Yang Jian."
