I'll kill you after I finish this game!

He and Tiancanjiao exchanged a glance, and both of them had the idea of ​​letting the matter drop and leaving.

After all, the number of people present was far greater than theirs, and these two exorcists, who were not cooperative, knew that the situation was unfavorable to them, so they prepared to turn around and leave.

"Please wait a moment, everyone."

Just as the two were about to leave, Skadi, who hadn't said much until now, smiled and spoke.

According to the magnetic field detector she had been keeping running, a strange aura had appeared near Chang'an City, carrying both demonic and Buddhist energy.

Knowing that the Buddhist sect was preparing to take action, Skadi also prepared to stir up trouble.

"What are you doing, little sister?"

Beidou Wuxingquan turned around and looked at Skadi with a puzzled expression, wondering what she wanted to do.

The same applies to Tiancanjiao, who was also preparing to leave.

Under the puzzled gazes of Miss Duan and Chen Xuanzang, Skadi spoke softly, "Since you two have made a wasted trip and failed to catch any monsters, I have some very powerful information about a monster here. Would you like it?"

"Oh? What kind of monster is it?"

Tiancanjiao immediately became interested, as did Beidou Wuxingquan. It wasn't that they were afraid Skadi had any bad intentions, but rather that they were confident in their own strength.

"The King of Demon Kings, Sun Wukong, I know where he is."

"!!!"

The Big Dipper Five Elements Fist and the Heavenly Crippled Kick widened their eyes, and not only them, but also Miss Duan, Chen Xuanzang, and even the Empty Void Prince were equally shocked.

After all, the title of Sun Wukong, the King of Demon Kings, is a legendary figure known even to newcomers among exorcists.

Many exorcists, eager to prove their abilities, wanted to find Sun Wukong, but none of them could.

And now Skadi says she knows where Sun Wukong is, how can that not be surprising?

At this moment, Tiancanjiao and Beidou Wuxingquan couldn't help but gleam with excitement.

If they could kill the Demon King Sun Wukong, they would definitely become famous throughout the world and become the number one exorcists.

At that point, there will be no need to go through all the trouble for the reward money. Once you have a reputation, the money will come to you on its own.

Fame and fortune have trapped countless people, but if one could eliminate Sun Wukong, both of these desires could be fulfilled.

Both the Big Dipper Five Elements Fist and the Heavenly Crippled Kick are like this.

"Where is he?!" Beidou Wuxingquan asked directly.

People die for wealth, birds die for food; although they know Sun Wukong is powerful, there are still many exorcists who dare to risk their lives.

"Over there at Five Finger Mountain, he's been suppressed by Buddha for five hundred years..."

Skadi told the two people in front of her the exact location of Sun Wukong. It wasn't that no one hadn't been to the Five Fingers Mountain, but no one had found Sun Wukong.

Skadi naturally knew Sun Wukong's exact location. She wanted to get the monkey out ahead of time, since that fearless monkey was also a crucial figure on the Buddhist journey to the West, second only to Chen Xuanzang.

"Okay, if that's true, then thank you very much, little sister."

Having heard Skadi's detailed explanation, Hokuto Goshoken felt it was worth a try, so after bowing to Skadi, he immediately turned and left.

Tian Canjiao also leaped up suddenly, his entire body shooting straight into the sky like a rocket, disappearing into the vast night.

"Girl, is what you said about that Sun Wukong true?"

The Empty Prince did not leave, but went to Skadi's side to confirm the accuracy of the news.

"It's true, but I'm just using them. Considering the help you've given me, I advise you not to get involved. You're strong, but Sun Wukong can kill you without much effort."

Upon hearing this, Skadi nodded slightly. Considering that the Empty Prince had helped her before, she kindly reminded him not to end up with a gruesome death.

After saying that, without waiting for Young Master Kongxu to say anything more, Skadi walked straight towards Miss Duan and Chen Xuanzang.

“Xuanzang, based on your philosophy, I would like to give you another piece of advice: If you want to help others, you must first help yourself.”

"If you want to help others, you must first help yourself?"

Chen Xuanzang would not disobey the words Skadi left him.

He interpreted this sentence as meaning that to save others, you must first save yourself. How can someone who cannot even save themselves save others?

If even a healer cannot save himself, how could Chen Xuanzang possibly save himself?

As for why Skadi told him these things, you can tell just by looking at the way she looked at Miss Duan and at his eyes.

After leaving behind the words "Take care of yourselves," Skadi's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished into the night.

The Empty Prince, still standing in place, had a complicated and hesitant expression, unsure whether to heed Skadi's words.

To be honest, he also had feelings for Sun Wukong, but Skadi said that she was no match for Sun Wukong and would definitely die if she went. This made the Empty Prince wonder whether he should go or not.

In terms of courage, the Empty Prince has no shortage of courage, and recently, thanks to the life crystal given to him by Skadi, his condition has been restored to its peak.

"...In that case, let's go see if we can refrain from making a move."

Considering that Skadi openly used the previous Big Dipper Five Elements Fist and Heavenly Crippled Kick, the Empty Void Prince also made up his mind. He was going to Five Finger Mountain, but he would not take action.

At the same time, he also had a plan: to use the same method Skadi had used to test Goku's strength by using other people as well.

If he becomes too powerful to be defeated, the Empty Prince will immediately run away. If there is a possibility of victory, it will not be too late to make a move then.

Without further ado, after giving Miss Duan, Chen Xuanzang, and Sha Wujing one last glance, Young Master Kongxu also left in his sedan chair.

Only Miss Duan, Chen Xuanzang, and Sha Wujing remained at the scene.

"Hey, Chen Xuanzang, what are your plans for the future? What did she mean by what she just said to you?"

Miss Duan also looked at Chen Xuanzang, who was deep in thought, and shook his hand to ask him.

"What she meant was that I should resolve my own problems before helping others."

Chen Xuanzang answered directly, saying that Miss Duan had helped him a lot and had even given him Zhu Ganglie to deal with, for which he was very grateful.

Moreover, when it came to his own problems, Chen Xuanzang looked at Miss Duan with some hesitation.

He believed he should strive for the greater good of all beings and that he shouldn't have any romantic feelings between men and women, but Skadi's words had deeply moved him.

You want to save others and bring them joy and happiness, but are you yourself happy and happy? Have you ever loved others, or been loved by others?

"Then...would you like to come with me from now on? I'll help you fight demons and monsters."

Miss Duan looked somewhat reserved and embarrassed, but she still mustered up the courage to invite Chen Xuanzang to accompany her in the future, so that they could look after each other.

"I......"

Chen Xuanzang, who was not emotionally naive, naturally sensed Miss Duan's kindness and affection, but he didn't know whether he should accept it.

"Hurry up and agree, Xuanzang! A woman is actively pursuing you, what are you hesitating for... Pfft!!"

Just then, Sha Wujing, who had stabilized his injuries, saw the two looking embarrassed and urged Chen Xuanzang to agree quickly.

But before he could finish speaking, Miss Duan punched him down again.

She glared fiercely at Sha Wujing, then, as if a broken pot had shattered, looked at the dumbfounded Chen Xuanzang and said quite bluntly:

"That's right, I'm going to seduce you! We just kissed!"

"...I strive for the ideal of universal love; as for the personal love between men and women, I..."

"What's wrong with love between men and women? Do you look down on it? That woman just said that you have to save yourself before you can save others. You fight for the greater good, so why can't you have your own little love?"

Miss Duan understands Chen Xuanzang's lofty ideals, but she also has her own simple, loving ideals: to find a suitable husband and live a simple, happy life.

She felt that person was Chen Xuanzang.

Chen Xuanzang was also speechless. Skadi's words seemed to still be echoing in his ears, and they were not without reason.

.........

Skadi returned to Chang'an City alone and, following the strange aura she sensed, began to inquire with the people of the Exorcism Hall about what had happened recently.

Skadi was not disappointed by the Exorcist's intelligence network; indeed, some things have happened recently.

For example, the Tang emperor has recently started having strange dreams, and his health has gradually deteriorated.

And because of Empress Wende, she has recently become interested in Buddhism.

Today, a true man from the Kingdom of Bhikkhu, far beyond the Tang Dynasty, has entered the Tang Dynasty and met with the current emperor.

It is said that he was a highly accomplished Taoist master known as the Nine Palaces True Man.

In response, Skadi once again focused her magnetic field power on the palace and indeed found that the source of the aura was there.

"Heh, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Skadi, having confirmed that the Nine Palaces Master was problematic, revealed a hint of interest on her delicate face.

She believed that this time it was definitely the Buddhist sect that intervened, and that the one who intervened was none other than the Nine Palaces Master.

Skadi was very interested in how they would deal with her.

Skadi found the answer to this interest the day after tomorrow.

She was wanted by the police.

Yes, he was wanted as a monster within the Tang Dynasty.

Skadi wasn't particularly surprised by this situation, but she certainly wasn't very interested in this tactic.

The emperor in the palace has been unwell lately, and the Nine Palaces Master probably said that some evil spirit was at work, and in the end, the conflict was brought up with Skadi.

Skadi didn't care about the process at all; she was just bored with the Nine Palaces Master's methods of using mortals.

No way, no way, no way... Could it be that she really thinks Skadi cares about the people in this world?

"Such an action... is probably aimed at Chen Xuanzang."

Skadi, who had been taken into the prison van, sat calmly inside, thoughtfully considering the purpose of the Buddhist sect's actions.

With a brain more powerful than even a supercomputer at its command, Skadi began to make calculations.

First of all, no matter what the Buddhist sect does, the ultimate goal is the journey to the West, and the most important person on the journey to the West is Chen Xuanzang.

Such scheming against Skadi as a monster suggests that dealing with Skadi is probably secondary; the more important issue is Chen Xuanzang.

After all, Chen Xuanzang was greatly influenced by Skadi, so they needed to resolve the issue with Skadi first.

They knew that mortals couldn't kill Skadi, but they could influence Chen Xuanzang's opinion of her. If Skadi could wreak havoc within the Tang Dynasty, then their goal would have already been achieved.

At that moment, Skadi, who was imprisoned in the iron cage, was carried into the palace and saw the current emperor and the Nine Palaces Master.
