According to Li Chang’an, it was after he was saved by the Great Sage Equalling Heaven that he realized how insignificant he was and developed the desire to vanquish demons and protect the common people. Therefore, he resolved to cultivate the Tao and become an Immortal, to guard the common people.
How did this Demon Fiend know about this?
Yan Chixia immediately underwent a drastic change in expression.
He stared at Sun Wukong, exclaiming in horror, "This is bad, could you be that Demon Fiend from back then? To think that you could have escaped with your life from the hands of the Great Sage, truly a formidable demon indeed."
Sun Wukong and Nu Ba were both stunned.
He meant to say that he himself was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong; what was Yan Chixia understanding from that?
This thought process? How did he cultivate to the Heavenly Venerate Realm?
Is the threshold for Heavenly Venerate really that low now?
"I will give you one more chance, say what you just said again."
Sun Wukong said through clenched teeth.
Yan Chixia frowned, the Demon Fiend thought he was speaking unpleasantly.
Wait, his eyes lit up, could it be...
With this thought, he immediately said, "Could you be that peerlessly brave Demon King from back then, who stood equal to the Great Sage and retreated at ease? Indeed, a Great Saint of the Demon Clan."
After speaking, Yan Chixia was quite ashamed.
Today was really too shameful; to survive, he had to suck up to a demon.
Sun Wukong’s mouth twitched, he glanced at Nu Ba and said, "Let’s just kill him, such an idiot shouldn’t be alive in this world."
Nu Ba nodded seriously.
Just then, a sword light appeared, and Li Chang’an had arrived.
He had reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal Realm, his sword intent was sharp, and his body exuded an aura of vast Righteous Qi.
Compared to Yan Chixia, his demeanor was much more appealing.
Seeing Li Chang’an appear, Yan Chixia jumped in shock.
He quickly gestured to Li Chang’an and urgently sent a telepathic message: "Disciple, leave quickly, there’s a supreme demon here, your master is not his opponent. Escape now, or both master and disciple will be trapped here."
Li Chang’an looked around, puzzled, and said, "Master, where is there a supreme demon here? Besides, even if there is, what is there to fear? Look at who is present."
Sun Wukong smiled as he watched this teacher-student pair.
He knew Li Chang’an had misunderstood Yan Chixia’s words, and Yan Chixia also had no idea what his disciple meant.
Yan Chixia urgently said, "Foolish disciple, although your master is powerful, there are many more powerful demons than me. Leave now, and let your master hold them off for you for a while."
Li Chang’an too became puzzled.
Is there really a demon?
What demon would have the guts to stay here?
Li Chang’an asked, very curious.
"You really can’t see him?"
Yan Chixia trembled as he asked.
Li Chang’an shook his head, genuinely unable to see.
However, judging by Yan Chixia’s reaction, it was clear he wasn’t lying.
This made Li Chang’an nervous as well. He released his law sword and asked, "Master, where is the demon? I really can’t see him."
Seeing Li Chang’an behave , Yan Chixia realized his disciple wasn’t spouting nonsense.
He looked at Sun Wukong with vigilance in his eyes.
Clearly standing in front of his disciple, yet completely overlooked by him, invisible.
This Demon Fiend truly possessed great power, the thought alone made him shiver with fear.
Yan Chixia’s beard trembled as he pointed at Sun Wukong and Nu Ba.
Li Chang’an was taken aback. Them? Demons?
He withdrew his law sword and laughed wryly.
"Master, what joke are you playing on me?"
Yan Chixia glared at Li Chang’an and said displeased, "When has your master ever joked with you? Just because you can’t see does not mean it does not exist; it only means this demon is too powerful, at least a Great Heavenly Venerate. Otherwise, how could you not see him?"
"They are not demons."
Li Chang’an shook his head.
Yan Chixia was startled.
He suddenly began to understand what his disciple meant.
It wasn’t that Li Chang’an couldn’t see them; he just didn’t recognize them as demons.
Realizing this, Yan Chixia spoke gravely, "Disciple, they are indeed demons, especially that male one. I can smell it on him; he is not of the Human Race. Don’t be deceived by their Illusion Technique."
He continued with earnest concern, "Demons who do evil in the world are most skilled in transforming and bewildering people’s hearts with illusions. You may have reached the Realm of Celestial Immortal, but you are still young and unscathed by demons."
Li Chang’an ignored him, walked up to Sun Wukong, and knelt down.
Under the angry gaze of Yan Chixia: "Junior Li Chang’an pays respect to the Great Saint, and to the Princess."
He bowed to both, feeling no shame in doing so.
Yan Chixia nearly died from anger, he shouted, "Li Chang’an, get up, you unfilial student! A Celestial Immortal of the Human Race should never bow to a demon, get up now!"
Only then did Li Chang’an stand, apologizing to Sun Wukong, "Great Saint, please don’t mind, my master did not know your identity hence the disrespect, and I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Heh, no matter, your master is quite an interesting person."
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Seeing Li Chang’an getting along with Sun Wukong as if they were acquainted,
