Chapter 92 - 090: Ultimately Hard to Escape from Fate
Yang Jian, the Equal to Heaven Taoist Priest, and Unibrow Taoist Priest hurried towards Dongsheng Immortal State, after all, their Taoist arts were supreme. In no time, they arrived at the foot of Flower-Fruit Mountain, witnessing the encampment established by the Heavenly Court’s Army.
The encampment was haphazardly organized, a clear sign of how hard the Heavenly Court’s Army had been hit.
As Yang Jian and his companions approached the camp’s entrance, he said, "Quickly inform King Li that I have come to assist in the capture of the demon!"
The guards at the gate hurriedly reported to the central command, saying, "Report, Great Marshal! Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, and two other Taoist priests have arrived claiming they are here to capture the demon."
Upon hearing this, King Li was overjoyed, never having imagined that Yang Jian would come. Highly regarding Yang Jian’s skills, which he had witnessed since the ancient times of Divine Enthronement, he surmised the capabilities of Yang Jian’s companions would not be any less. Rapidly, he led his son Nezha and the Four Heavenly Kings out of the central army camp to the gates to welcome them.
Seeing Yang Jian, King Li could not contain his joy, "True Lord Erlang, it is good that you have arrived. This demon monkey is exceedingly fierce; we must rely on your prowess to capture it!"
Yang Jian introduced his companions to King Li, "These are my two Taoist friends: Unibrow Taoist Priest from the Maoshan Sect of Taoism of the Heavenly Masters, and the Equal to Heaven Taoist Priest."
At the mention of "Equal to Heaven," King Li felt his heart skip a beat, startled by Wukong’s infamy, and thought to himself, "This Taoist has quite the nerve to adopt such a name, isn’t he afraid of bringing disaster upon himself?" He then respectfully clasped his hands together and said, "Pagoda-bearing Heaven King Li Jing pays his respects to Unibrow Taoist Priest and Equal to Heaven Taoist Priest."
The Equal to Heaven Taoist Priest chuckled inwardly, thinking, If King Li knew he was actually Wukong, would he be scared out of his wits?
Unibrow Taoist Priest saluted with his hands and said, "There’s no need for formalities, King Li. We have come to witness the might of this demon monkey."
The Equal to Heaven Taoist Priest also said with a smile, "I wonder what divine skills and transformations this demon monkey possesses? We shall confront him shortly."
