Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

As they spoke, the Gold-Horned King took out a scroll and carefully matched each person with their name, informing the Silver-Horned King.

The Silver-Horned King exclaimed in amazement, "Big brother, how do you know so much? And you're so well-prepared too?"

The Gold-Horned King said, "It's quite strange. Just not long ago, there suddenly was a rumor spreading that eating Tang Sanzang's flesh would grant immortality, and the news spread exceptionally fast. This portrait also circulated with it, and I've had it verified; it's definitely authentic. As for whether eating Tang Sanzang's flesh really grants longevity, well, we'll only know after we've tried."

The Silver-Horned King nodded his head in understanding and said, "Watch me, big brother, if I don't run into Tang Sanzang, so be it, but if I do encounter him, I'll surely capture him with ease!"

After speaking, the Silver-Horned King summoned hundreds of lesser demons to patrol the mountain.

At this very moment, Tang Sanzang and his companions had also arrived at the foot of the flat-topped mountain. Looking at the large mountain, Tang Sanzang wiped his drool while subconsciously rubbing Zhu Ganglie's belly, which made him drool even more.

Zhu Ganglie shivered from the touch and quickly cried out, "Master, I'll go scout ahead. If there are any demons, I'll catch them for you, and we'll have a feast tonight!"

Tang Sanzang replied, "Go ahead, Wufan. If you don't succeed, then at least you'll have been noble. Good luck!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie was near tears, thinking to himself, what does 'if you don't succeed, then at least you'll have been noble' mean? Does it imply that if he doesn't bring back a demon, they'll eat him?

Zhu Ganglie said, "Master, rest assured, if I don't bring back a delicious demon, I simply won't come back."

Having said that, Zhu Ganglie left.

The White Dragon Horse sidled up and muttered, "Why do I feel like he might not come back?"

...

Let's say Zhu Ganglie had left and was heading straight up the mountain, muttering to himself, "Demons, delicious little demons, where are you? Your grandpa Pig is coming to find you."

While talking, he parted the bushes in front of him, and then...

Zhu Ganglie was met with a vista of the Black Stone Forest, large black stones jutting out of the ground like sharp knives.

On these knife-like stones stood a group of lesser demons, surrounding a figure like stars around the moon. The figure had a pair of silver horns on his head—it was none other than the Silver-Horned King!

The Silver-Horned King slowly raised his head, looking at Zhu Ganglie and said, "Looking for a demon, pig head?"

Zhu Ganglie glanced at these fierce and terrifying lesser demons in front of him and suddenly had a bad feeling.

The Silver-Horned King glanced at Zhu Ganglie and then took out a scroll, compared it to Zhu Ganglie, and laughed, "Are you Zhu Ganglie?"

Zhu Ganglie was stunned for a moment, then carefully examined the scroll, and his eyes immediately lit up. He thought to himself, "Isn't that the portrait me and Brother Sand dispersed on our master's orders... Wow, someone's already come along looking to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh?"

With this in mind, Zhu Ganglie laughed instead and pointed to himself, saying, "Yes, I am your grandpa Pig! You brazen little demons, recognizing your grandpa Pig and not yet begging for mercy on your knees, kowtowing and calling me grandpa?"

The Silver-Horned King was taken aback, for he hadn't expected Zhu Ganglie to be so arrogant. He sneered and said, "You insolent creature, since you admit you're Zhu Ganglie, there's no mistake in eating you! Minions, seize him for me, let's prepare him for pickling, and we'll have pickled meat!"

Unfazed, Zhu Ganglie whipped out his nine-toothed rake and pounded it on the ground, bellowing, "Your grandpa Pig is here, let's see who dares to make a move!"

As a result, those little demons swooshed through the air and pounced over, obscuring the sun and sky.

Zhu Ganglie, seeing this, let out a great bellow, "Fine, you win, I surrender!"

The next moment, Zhu Ganglie was tied up by a group of little demons, impaled on sticks, and carried away.

Back at Lotus Cave, the Silver Horned King motioned to the little demons to throw Zhu Ganglie onto the ground and then said to the Gold Horned King, "Big brother, take a look, is this the monk you wanted?"

The Gold Horned King took a closer look, laughing and crying at the same time, "Brother, we wanted to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, not wild boar meat. This Zhu Ganglie that you've captured is of no use to us."

The Silver Horned King nonchalantly said, "Big brother, with this pig here, it means Tang Sanzang must also be nearby, which is a good sign. As for what to do, I think we could pickle him to feed the little ones."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Zhu Ganglie heard this, he couldn't help but curse, "You little demon dare to pickle old Zhu? Do you even know who my master is?"

The Silver Horned King laughed, "Zhu Ganglie, since I recognize you, I naturally know your background. Your master, isn't he that Tang Sanzang who is going to the Western Heaven for scriptures? Don't worry, I will capture him in a while, and we'll steam you all together, making sure all of you disciples are served together, not one less!"

Zhu Ganglie sneered with experienced disdain, "Idiot, your master is Tang Sanzang! You don't even know who my master is, and you still dare talk about eating Tang Sanzang's flesh?"

The Silver Horned King frowned and asked with suspicion, "If not Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang, then who is your master?"

Zhu Ganglie scoffed, "My master is certainly not some damn Tang Sanzang!"

The Silver Horned King looked at the Gold Horned King, and the Gold Horned King was also frowning deeply before stepping forward to ask, "Zhu Ganglie, you better not be trying to fool us. If your master isn't Tang Sanzang, then who is he?"

Zhu Ganglie said proudly, "My master is none other than the bald demon king Tang Seng, who is the Luminous Pearl incarnate!"

The Silver Horned King and the Gold Horned King exchanged glances, both slightly disbelieving.

Zhu Ganglie immediately shouted, "If you don't believe me, you can go down the mountain now; my master and the others are resting at the foot of the mountain. Just go and ask isn't it clear? If not, stand at the entrance and shout twice, isn't it settled if he responds or not?"

The Silver Horned King immediately said, "Alright, I'll go and call him twice to see if your master dares to answer!"

The Gold Horned King grabbed the Silver Horned King and said, "Brother, don't fall for this pig's trick. It seems to me, he's trying to use our voice to send a message to his brothers. If we really call out and Tang Sanzang prepares or even flees, it'll be much harder to catch him."

The Silver Horned King waved his hand, "What if he is prepared? Are you and I, brothers, not capable of capturing a mere monk?"

The Gold Horned King shook his head, "Brother, you don't know. There is nothing frightening about that Tang Sanzang; the main concern is his disciple, who is none other than Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago."

"Is it that monkey?!" The Silver Horned King jumped in fright.

The Gold Horned King nodded, "Exactly, that monkey. So, we can't be rash about this, nor can we fall for this pig's trick. We should outsmart them, not alarm the prey and cause them to scatter."

The Silver Horned King nodded, "Big brother speaks wisely; I nearly fell for this pig's trick! Little ones, throw this pig in the back and bind him. Once we capture Tang Sanzang, we'll eat them all together!"

"Yes, Second King!"

A group of little demons shouted in unison and then carried Zhu Ganglie away.
