Chapter 417 - 400: He Has a Great Demon Behind Him
Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Bajie’s words do make some sense, but if that Old Lion cannot find the real culprit and vents his anger on the people of Yuhua Province, leading to a disaster for them, wouldn’t that be our fault?"
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Now that the Monster has stolen our weapons, we cannot avoid this trouble. Since we have to fight, we must eradicate the problem at its root and eliminate this nest of Demons, to prevent them from causing harm to the area."
Xuanzang smiled and nodded at this time, saying, "Wukong is right, subduing Demons and eliminating evil is also a way of accumulating good deeds, we must cut the problem at its roots."
"Although these Demons are formidable, we don’t fear them. If we plan carefully, who wins and who loses is still uncertain! I think we should deal with the Yellow Lion Demon first, one, to eliminate a foe, and two, to recover your weapons."
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "In that case, as soon as Junior Brother Sand returns, Old Sun will go with Zhu Bajie to Leopard Head Mountain to subdue the Yellow Lion Demon and recover the weapons first."
Xuanzang gladly agreed, smiling and saying, "That’s fine, Sha Wujing can also come along, this city is a peaceful place, and there is no need for your protection against other Monsters."
Zhu Bajie clamored and said, "Master is right, Old Pig also wishes to recover his Nine-toothed Rake quickly. Since that’s the case, let us go together."
After a while, Sand Monk finally returned.
He came back panting and recounted the events he witnessed during his investigation to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
