Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate

At this moment within Youzhou City, the news of the failed expedition against Thousand Peaks Mountain had already reached the City Lord of Youzhou’s ears.

However, the City Lord sitting inside the City Lord Mansion seemed completely unsurprised, as if everything was within his expectations.

A personal guard beside him said, "My lord, what should be done now? With the failed expedition, the morale is likely to drop again, isn’t it?"

The City Lord suddenly stood up and smiled, "This is the most normal outcome. The Demon Chief of Thousand Peaks Mountain is not so easy to deal with. Although Du Feng, the leader, is of the Red Feather Demon Clan, his cultivation level is just slightly weaker than mine. If those worthless ones could defeat them, they wouldn’t have been able to occupy Thousand Peaks Mountain for so many years."

The personal guard beside him seemed to not quite understand and asked, "Then why did my lord still incite these people to attack Ganfeng Mountain?"

"Is the success or failure of the expedition important?"

The City Lord gave a cold glance at the personal guard beside him. "I never thought it could succeed, I just wanted to manipulate their emotions!"

This made the personal guard even more confused: "But with the expedition’s failure, these people’s morale will surely plummet, how could they possibly..."

"Wrong." The City Lord shook his head, "You have much to learn. Although the expedition failed, didn’t I already elevate the atmosphere to the highest before it began? Which of them wasn’t boiling with passion, otherwise why would they dare charge towards Thousand Peaks Mountain?"

The personal guard seemed to have grasped something, but remained somewhat muddled, dazed.
