It was said that after Kuafu had dealt with the Sun and the boundless marshland disaster, clarity was restored between heaven and earth, and there was great rejoicing. The General had disappeared; not daring to show his face again. With all the Saints probably watching over this land now, to show himself would surely invite a besiegement, and he would have no choice but to turn to dust and ashes.

First Emperor Ying Zheng approached Wukong and asked, "Has Wukong managed to gather those clans together?"

Wukong shook his head and replied, "No, Yuan Hong and I had just found the Vermilion Bird Fruit when this major incident occurred. I am now preparing to confront the Vermilion Bird Clan and demand Ren Tianxing honor his promise. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to launch an attack with the Green Emperor’s spiritual talisman!"

Ying Zheng said, "These great clans are akin to the noble classes under my rule in years past. If you want to subdue them, you must use uncompromising thunderbolt methods! Otherwise, they will think the Son of Heaven is weak and can be bullied, resulting in even bolder defiance."

Wukong replied, "I will take your advice."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "With our current strength, we could easily annihilate a great clan. Wukong, you may do the same to deter the other clans."

Wukong sighed and said, "They are all my fellow Demon Tribe brethren. How can I do such a thing? I’ll wait and see for now. If it really comes to it, I will have to issue the spiritual talisman to launch an attack on one clan as a warning to the others."

Shen Gongbao frowned and said, "Such a major event has occurred today. If not for the Taoist Patriarch’s intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable! The world is becoming increasingly chaotic now. There will be no shortage of those who wish to fish in troubled waters. Wukong, you must quickly consolidate the power of the Demon Tribe. If you delay, unforeseen changes might occur."

Wukong bowed his hands in thanks and said, "Shen Gongbao’s words are very true. I understand. I shall go to Vermilion Bird City now and demand their allegiance to Water Curtain Cave! If they refuse, I will immediately issue an edict to attack them and set an example."

Shen Gongbao applauded and said, "That’s how it should be done! Your authority as the Green Emperor has yet to be established. Now is the perfect time."
