Sun Wukong naturally knew how formidable the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan was, so he had intentionally lured his opponent away.
Then he thought of a way to deal with this Old Lion, of course, if he went all out, Sun Wukong was confident he could handle this Old Lion, but when Sun Wukong confronted the Old Lion, he discovered that the Old Lion had some skills.
Not only could it catch up with him in no time, but as soon as it appeared, it showed its true form, with nine lion heads opening their bloody mouths wide at the same time, followed by a lion’s roar that resounded through the Ninth Heaven.
Just as Sun Wukong was about to turn around and fight back, he instantly felt a buzzing in his head, and immediately his mind went blank, completely losing consciousness, his body falling to the ground like a meteorite.
Clearly, its Lion’s Roar Skill possessed powerful psychic attack force.
"Hmph! It seems that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven is nothing special after all!"
The Nine Spirits Holy Yuan snorted coldly, then turned into a streak of light, quickly pursuing the plummeting Sun Wukong.
It opened its bloody mouth wide and bit towards Sun Wukong.
It seemed as if it wanted to swallow Sun Wukong right then and there.
Just as the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan was about to bite Sun Wukong, at that moment, Sun Wukong suddenly regained consciousness.
The Nine Spirits Holy Yuan bit into Sun Wukong, but the next moment, Sun Wukong transformed into a strand of Monkey Fur, which the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan ate directly.
The Nine Spirits Holy Yuan had initially shown a look of surprise on its face, after all, Sun Wukong was powerful and not easy to deal with, not expecting to have swallowed him in one gulp.
However, when it bit into Sun Wukong, it found that there was no taste of blood, but just a strand of monkey fur instead.
"This monkey’s transformation is so swift!"
The Nine Spirits Holy Yuan was somewhat taken aback; it hadn’t expected Sun Wukong’s transformation to be so fast, managing to dodge in the blink of an eye.
It then said softly, "Even if you run fast, where can you run off to!"
After escaping from the lion’s mouth.
Sun Wukong let out a sigh of relief, but he dared not slack off in the slightest.
He would never underestimate any opponent.
Moreover, he didn’t want to face the lion alone.
Now, he just needed to wait for Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk to deal with those lions, then they could join forces to besiege this lion.
After escaping for some distance, Sun Wukong realized that the lion had not caught up with him and quickly stopped.
The Jingu Bang in his hand formed a concentration of light, gathering light.
As soon as the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan showed up, he would strike directly with his staff.
However, after looking around for a long time, Sun Wukong still did not see the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan appear.
"Could it be that the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan has lost track of me?"
Sun Wukong said in surprise.
Just then, Sun Wukong felt a surge of energy waves coming from the sky.
He immediately looked up and saw the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan appearing above him.
"I didn’t expect you to be so slow, I thought you had lost track!"
Sun Wukong was about to take action, but now seeing that the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan was right above his head, how could he strike?
"I didn’t expect the Macaque to be quite swift!"
The Nine Spirits Holy Yuan looked down at Sun Wukong and said with a cold laugh.
"It’s your speed that’s too slow, maybe it’s because you have nine heads that your head is too heavy so you can’t run fast!" Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh and said.
"You’ve got guts, but I hear the Great Sage Equalling Heaven is powerful and bold as the heavens, yet after seeing you, the Macaque, I find that legend to be somewhat exaggerated!" the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan said with a smile as he looked at Sun Wukong.
Initially, the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan intended to anger Sun Wukong, but now Sun Wukong just laughed and replied, "I think so too!"
"My tales are nothing more than rumor built upon rumor, not worth mentioning!" Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Seeing how calm Sun Wukong appeared, if Sun Wukong had been arrogant, conceited, or had attacked him directly, the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan might have disdained him.
But now, Sun Wukong was so indifferent to his provocation, and that kind of person was scary.
After staying silent for a while, the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan smiled and said, "How about we have a chat?"
"What do you want to talk about?" Sun Wukong also asked with some curiosity.
The Nine Spirits Holy Yuan smiled and said, "Look, we have no past grievances or recent hatreds, why must we fight to the death?"
"No enmities from the past or resentments today? A group of demons menacing Yuhua Province, we did not provoke you, did we?" Sun Wukong said sarcastically.
However, he could also tell that the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan was clearly conceding now.
Obviously, the Nine Spirits Holy Yuan did not have that strong confidence anymore.
If that was the case, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but feel some confidence swell within himself.
The Nine Spirits Holy Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Indeed, it is us who have come to Yuhua Province, but there are reasons for it."
"I know my Grandson of the Yellow Lion stole the Monkey Sun’s Golden Hoop, Tianpeng’s Nine-toothed Rake, and the Great General Who Lifts the Curtain’s Demon-Subduing Staff, he was wrong to do so."
"But at most that’s a crime of theft, which is not punishable by death! Afterward, you assaulted Leopard Head Mountain, killed the cave full of demons, burned down Tiger’s Mouth Cave."
"My Grandson of the Yellow Lion also faced retribution. This should be punishment enough, right? We’ve come here to Yuhua Province not for any other reason, only to ask you to release my Grandson of the Yellow Lion, and I assure you I will discipline him strictly once we return!"
"I will make sure he never causes trouble again. You continue on your journey to retrieve your scriptures, we’ll stay out of each other’s way, wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?"
