Old Lady Gao overheard the conversation from inside the room and was delighted. "Master, did you hear that? That pig demon is leaving. It really is a high monk from the Tang Dynasty; he subdued the pig demon with just one move."

Old Master Gao, his eyes gleaming with disdain, said, "That's our son-in-law! How can you, old woman, be so heartless?"

"I think you're just blinded by money. You're even thinking about taking a concubine, aren't you? Don't think I don't know."

Old Mrs. Gao glared angrily, confronting Old Mr. Gao head-on.

Old Master Gao said, "Isn't this for the sake of continuing the Gao family line?"

"You're just saying nice things. If you don't even cultivate the land, where will you get your offerings?" Old Mrs. Gao sneered.

Grandpa Gao's eyes darted around, thinking that he was quite a handsome young man back in the day, while Grandma Gao wasn't so good-looking when she was young.

He married Old Lady Gao because he was poor when he was young.

Fortunately, his daughter inherited his looks completely, not Old Lady Gao's.

Now that you have money, shouldn't you make some compensation?

When Old Lady Gao saw him like this, she was furious.

Sure enough, men with money tend to go bad.

Zhu Wuneng advised Gao Cuilan, "Cuilan, it will only be a little over ten years since I left. You are about to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm and will live for at least five hundred years. Wait for me here."

"Really just over ten years?" Gao Cuilan asked, her big eyes wide open.

Zhu Wuneng nodded repeatedly, then looked at Tang Sanzang and said, "Holy Monk, I, Old Pig, will have to return to secular life when the time comes."

"Ah, this!" Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded. How could someone be thinking about returning to secular life before even becoming a monk? Isn't this the same as thinking about divorce before even getting married?

"If you don't return to secular life, then I, Old Pig, will not become your disciple."

Just as Tang Sanzang was about to refuse the offer to become a disciple, he heard Guanyin's voice in his mind, 'Sanzang, agree to his request.'

“Amitabha! In that case, please become my disciple.”

Zhu Wuneng chuckled, "Holy Monk, could we wait a little longer? I, Old Pig, still need to help Cuilan improve her cultivation."

"Improving your cultivation level is one thing, but what does it have to do with you becoming my disciple?" Tang Sanzang said, expressing his incomprehension.

Lin Zhu noticed this and said, "It's okay if it's a few days later."

Tang Sanzang said, "Then let's listen to the True Lord. A few days later is fine. This humble monk will also help Wuneng think of a Dharma name."

"Of course, of course." Then, Zhu Wuneng looked at Lin Zhu, "The True Lord didn't take the Holy Monk as his master?" He paused for a moment, then patted his head, "It was my old pig who was confused. With the True Lord's status, even the Buddha Tathagata probably wouldn't dare to take you as his disciple."

Sun Wukong asked curiously, "What is Brother Lin's identity that even the Buddha wouldn't dare to approach? Could he be a disciple of the Goddess Nuwa?"

Pigsy laughed and said, "Almost there, almost there."

As they were talking, Pigsy's stomach started rumbling, so he had to go eat first.

The meal didn't end until about half past 5 PM.

After the meal, Lin Zhu asked, "Marshal Tianpeng, why do I feel like something's not quite right about this Tibet?"

A city is a country.

Zhu Wuneng cleaned his mouth and then said, "True Lord has good eyesight."

Sun Wukong, not to be outdone, said, "I, Old Sun, also figured it out."

"Not surprising, I, Old Pig, know that you have fiery eyes, Great Sage." Pigsy praised Sun Wukong, after all, he would be calling him senior brother from now on.

“That’s right!” Sun Wukong said with a smug look on his face.

Zhu Wuneng explained, "To be honest, it's because there's a Cloud Stack Cave outside the west of the city. There's a pig demon in the Cloud Stack Cave named Zhu Ganglie, who is extremely powerful. He often sends his little demons to the west and north of the city to eat and rob people, so the demonic aura here is quite strong."

Lin Zhu asked curiously, "Cloud Stack Cave, Pigsy, this..." He was at a loss. He looked closely at Pigsy and confirmed that he was intact and had no demonic aura.

"Marshal Tianpeng, would you mind if I tested you?"

Pigsy, with his upright character and fearless demeanor, said with his belly protruding, "Come on, let's examine it!"

A flash of blue light appeared, and the Soul-Suppressing and Evil-Releasing Seal was placed on Zhu Wuneng's belly. The blue light flashed again, and nothing happened.

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, it passed the quality inspection."

"That's right. Over the years, I, Old Pig, have been suspected by many other exorcists. More than twenty years ago, a guy named Empty Void Prince came and was always picking on me, Old Pig. Do you think I don't know him? He's just jealous of me, Old Pig."

Pigsy looked smug.

Lin Zhu asked, "Is that Young Master Kongxu named Zhu Kongxu, who looks like he has kidney deficiency and knows how to use flying swords?"

“Yes, yes, that’s him.” Zhu Wuneng laughed and asked, “You know him, Zhenjun? He does look like he has kidney deficiency, but he’s stubborn and keeps saying that he’s empty, not kidney deficient. Sometimes he even blurts it out.”

Lin Zhu's lips twitched. "It's him, no doubt. I met him in the Southern Continent back then, when I was running a pill shop."

Zhu Wuneng laughed heartily, "I told you he had kidney deficiency, and now it's confirmed. He can't even walk properly, and he hires a few old nannies to carry him in a sedan chair every day. He has absolutely no sense of aesthetics."

"Let's not talk about him anymore." Lin Zhu asked, "What's Zhu Ganglie's strength?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Wuneng's expression became solemn. "If it leaves the Cloud Stack Cave area, it is only at the third level of the Law Realm. But within a radius of 500,000 miles of Cloud Stack Cave, it possesses power that surpasses the third level of the Law Realm. In the past few decades, it has devoured quite a few exorcists."

"So powerful!" Sun Wukong was eager to try and said to Lin Zhu, "Brother Lin, how about we join forces again? I wonder which is stronger, that pig or the black bear spirit."

Chapter 961 Somersault Cloud VS Golden Light Across the Ground

Lin Zhu was also very interested in Zhu Ganglie and said, "We can go and take a look."

Zhu Wuneng said, "Speaking of which, the Cloud Stack Cave originally belonged to me, Old Pig, but he forcibly took it over."

Sun Wukong became curious and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Since Gao Cuilan was not present, Zhu Wuneng began to recount what happened after he was banished to the mortal realm and mistakenly reincarnated as a pig.

Laozi gave him a gourd of six-turn golden pills, enough to restore him to the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Not long after he recovered to the Golden Immortal realm, he met Sister Mao Er in the Cloud Stack Cave and was taken in as a son-in-law.

A pig and a rabbit have lived together for over a hundred years.

Later, Zhu Ganglie appeared out of nowhere, robbed Yunzhan Cave, and even ate Sister Mao Er.

After Zhu Wuneng returned, he fought with it, but lost.

In the end, he had no choice but to come to the Kingdom of U-Tsang, where by chance he met Gao Cuilan, who was the reincarnation of Mao Erjie.

So he rekindled his romance with Gao Cuilan.

This is why Gao Cuilan was able to accept that he was a pig demon.

Because he shared a Six-Turn Golden Elixir with Sister Mao in his early years, his cultivation level is still at the ninth level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he has not been able to break through. Therefore, he is no match for Zhu Ganglie now.

As for Zhu Ganglie, he ate no less than ten million people during his time at Yunzhan Cave. In addition, because he was a demon, he created an innate evil energy field around Yunzhan Cave.

Within his domain, his power in the third realm of laws was one realm higher, barely giving him the combat strength of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

His weapon was a spiked club, which was extremely powerful, and he was covered in Xuan Sha heavy armor, which provided unparalleled defense.

Decades ago, the exorcists of the Kingdom of U-Tsang formed an exorcism team, the strongest of whom was at the seventh level of the third realm of law. However, they were still defeated and were eaten like roasted pigs in the Cloud Stack Cave.

Tang Sanzang listened to the whole thing without missing a word, and then chanted a Buddhist prayer, "Amitabha, this fiend is a scourge to the world. We should slay the demon and restore peace and order to the world."

Zhu Wuneng said, "What the Holy Monk said is true. Fortunately, after leaving the Cloud Stack Cave area, his strength was only at the perfect third level of the Law Realm. Yuan Tianfeng, the Grand Elder of Wusizang Kingdom, also had this strength, so he was able to protect the country."

"The great offering has done immeasurable good deeds!" Tang Sanzang's goodwill towards Yuan Tianfeng was at its peak.

Zhu Wuneng shook his head. "It's a pity that Yuan Tianfeng is only capable of fighting alone. The Kingdom of Wusizang is so vast that he cannot protect it completely. Just like me, Old Pig, and Cuilan have spent many years slaying demons and monsters in various places. They are all little demons under Zhu Ganglie's command, including quite a few human demons."

Lin Zhu sneered, "Xiniu Hezhou is, in principle, under the jurisdiction of Lingshan. If the Buddhist sect can't manage it, why not return the power to the ancestral court of the human race?"

Zhu Wuneng shook his head, "It's not that easy. Compared to the Five Boundless Continents, Xiniu Hezhou is not a large area, and even your human ancestral court can't govern it. How vast is the Pangu Realm!"

Lin Zhu couldn't refute this point.

Sun Wukong said nonchalantly, "How big can this world be? I, Old Sun, can somersault to the ends of the earth with one somersault."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuneng laughed, his laughter filled with sarcasm.

Hearing this sneer, Sun Wukong was enraged, "You stupid pig, what do you mean by this?"

Zhu Wuneng said, "You call your somersault cloud technique fast? Don't even mention Lin Zhu Zhenjun's rainbow transformation technique, you can't even compare to my old pig's golden light leaping across the ground."

"Hey!" Sun Wukong roared, "Do you dare to have a match?"

"Let's race then." Pigsy wasn't afraid of Monkey King when it came to speed. "Where's the finish line?"

Sun Wukong said, "Let Brother Lin decide, so you won't say I, Old Sun, am being unfair."

Both of them looked at Lin Zhu at the same time.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhu said, "How about we place it where I am? You should be able to sense my presence with this item." He gave two jade pendants and then condensed a golden light talisman. "When the light shines, the race will begin."

"Great idea!"

Sun Wukong and Zhu Wuneng both agreed.

Immediately, Lin Zhu disappeared before their eyes, covering nine hundred million miles in an instant, as if teleporting.

Sun Wukong sensed that he would need to do nearly ten thousand somersaults to complete the task.

Zhu Wuneng's mouth was also twitching.

But as the golden light appeared, neither of them hesitated at all and vanished from Tang Sanzang's sight in an instant.

Sun Wukong can now do two somersaults in a single breath, which is 216,000 li. It took him more than half an hour to reach the place where Lin Zhu was.

Meanwhile, Zhu Wuneng was already waiting for him there.

"How about it, monkey? I, Old Pig, am not slow, am I?"

Sun Wukong blushed and said, "Isn't my somersault cloud the fastest? Back when I wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, no matter how many heavenly soldiers and generals could catch me, except for Brother Lin."

Zhu Wuneng chuckled again and patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder, "It's not your fault, you'll understand later."

Sun Wukong became somewhat insecure.

"Alright," Lin Zhu said fairly, "Monkey, you are indeed not as good as Marshal Tianpeng in long-distance raids. But in terms of burst speed, Marshal Tianpeng is not as good as you."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong felt more at ease.

Zhu Wuneng sighed and said, "Great Sage, you don't need to compare yourself with me, Old Pig, in terms of speed. When it comes to speed, True Monarch Lin Zhu is the number one person below the Hunyuan Realm."

Sun Wukong turned to look at Lin Zhu and immediately lay down, covering hundreds of millions of miles in an instant, which was indeed incomparable.
