"We'll see if you have the ability." Sun Wukong conjured up his golden cudgel and swung it at Zhen Yuanzi in front of him.

Lin Zhu chuckled, flicked his whisk (manifested from the power of reincarnation) lightly, entangled it around the golden cudgel, and then pulled it.

Sun Wukong felt he couldn't hold on to it, and the golden cudgel was taken away just like that.

"You monkey, without this stick, what skills do you still have?"

Pigsy stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "Brother Monkey had his golden cudgel taken away in one move!"

Tang Sanzang was also very surprised.

Sha Wujing calmly said, "Zhenyuan Daxian has held back."

Sun Wukong stared at his hands, stunned. He hadn't expected the golden cudgel to slip from his grasp so easily.

At crucial moments, Pigsy still showed his loyalty, saying, "Brother Monkey, I, Old Pig, am here to help you."

The nine-toothed rake was raised high, and the boundless waters of the Milky Way condensed, transforming into a giant nine-headed phoenix, which swung the rake down on Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu waved his whisk again, easily dispelling Zhu Bajie's attack. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he directly trapped Zhu Bajie inside.

He didn't want to smell Pigsy's stinky farts.

Sun Wukong shouted, "Bajie!"

Lin Zhu didn't want to waste any time. He spread his sleeves out towards Tang Sanzang, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse. As if a strong wind had blown through, only Lin Zhu and Sun Wukong remained in this world.

"Is this a hidden universe within a sleeve?" Sun Wukong looked at Zhen Yuanzi, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Zhu said, "You monkey have quite the eye for knowledge. Come in too."

Having said that, he continued to cover Sun Wukong with his sleeve.

"Don't even think about it!" Sun Wukong somersaulted on his cloud and was about to run away.

But how could he possibly escape the power of the hidden universe within his sleeve that had been enhanced?

The next moment, Sun Wukong entered the sleeve to join Tang Sanzang and the others, completely powerless to fight back and being manipulated at will.

Lin Zhu used his movement technique to return to Wuzhuang Temple in an instant.

In the heavens, Guanyin watched this scene and thought to herself, "Could it be that Zhenyuan Zi has really returned?" She clearly saw Zhenyuan Zi glance at her earlier, and she really saw it, and he even smiled.

Then I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp.

If Zhen Yuanzi personally accompanies the charade, what price will the Buddhist sect have to pay?

"Alas, this humble monk has worried himself sick over the flourishing of Buddhism!"

At Wuzhuang Temple, Lin Zhu waved his sleeve, and Sun Wukong and the others were irresistibly pushed out and tied to a pillar.

They struggled instinctively, but the rope only seemed to tighten the more they struggled.

Lin Zhu looked to both sides and said, "Qingfeng, go and ask the old Taoist for his Seven Star Whip."

"Yes, Master!" Qingfeng withdrew respectfully.

Lin Zhu continued, "Mingyue, go wash the pot and heat the oil."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy broke out in a cold sweat and shouted, "Great Immortal, are you going to eat breakfast? Eating something too greasy for breakfast isn't good for your health!"

"You blockhead, he doesn't want breakfast, he clearly wants to cook us alive." Sun Wukong also felt a chill down his spine. After all, he had no power to fight back against Zhen Yuanzi in front of him, and was even more helpless than when he faced Buddha.

Lin Zhu said with a slightly scolding tone, "You monkey's brain is quick, but you shouldn't have pushed over the old Taoist's ginseng fruit tree."

"No way!" Pigsy exclaimed loudly, "Great Immortal, there's no need for that! My old pig's meat isn't tasty. If you cook it in oil, the whole Wuzhuang Temple might start to rot."

Just as Pigsy was begging for mercy, Qingfeng arrived with the Seven-Star Whip.

"Master, the Seven Star Whip is here."

Chapter 994 Sun Wukong: This feeling, oh~

Lin Zhu reached out and took it. This Seven Star Whip was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that Zhen Yuanzi had placed in Wuzhuang Temple. Because of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Lin Zhu was able to use it.

He looked at Tang Sanzang and said, "Tang Sanzang, you have not managed your subordinates well, and this monkey has knocked down my ginseng fruit tree. I will now give you twenty lashes. Are you satisfied?"

"Amitabha!" Tang Sanzang was about to agree when he heard Sun Wukong say, "Wait, wait! I, Old Sun, was the one who knocked down the ginseng fruit tree. What does it have to do with my master? If you want to fight, fight me, Old Sun."

Lin Zhu said "Oh" and sneered, "You monkey are quite bold and responsible. Fine, I'll beat you up."

Sun Wukong chuckled and prepared to shed his skin like a cicada.

But to his surprise, this rope was no ordinary rope, and the next moment a deep, soul-piercing pain shot through his body.

The pain came suddenly and violently, causing him to scream in agony.

The cries of the monkeys shook the heavens, scattering even the clouds in the sky.

Guanyin heard Sun Wukong's screams from heaven and was surprised, thinking, "Why is this mischievous monkey screaming so pitifully?"

Lin Zhu, who had transformed into Zhen Yuanzi, had a hint of a smile in his eyes. The Seven Star Whip was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, even harder than Sun Wukong's body.

Moreover, he used the power of his soul, and this whip directly affected Sun Wukong's soul. How could it not hurt?

"This lash is to punish you for your arrogant nature, you monkey." Lin Zhu said, and then lashed out with the whip again.

Sun Wukong screamed again, glaring angrily at Lin Zhu, his fiery eyes truly blazing with fury.

Lin Zhu's hands never stopped, and every scream of Sun Wukong made Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's hearts pound.

Tang Sanzang, unable to bear it any longer, called out emotionally, "Wukong!"

"Senior Brother!"

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and said, "I, Old Sun, am fine. Ouch~"

Lin Zhu lashed out with his whip again.

Sun Wukong felt he couldn't take it anymore, but then he discovered the problem.

Along with the boundless pain, the spiritual power of the ginseng fruit within his body erupted, and a surge of pure energy rushed straight to his head, breaking through the confinement imposed by the molten copper and iron pills.

"Ah, this!"

Before he could react, another sharp pain shot through him.

But this time he forced himself to endure it, his teeth chattering, but his gaze toward Lin Zhu no longer held any anger.

If Lin Zhu hadn't been certain when he used the "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" technique before, he was now certain that the so-called Zhen Yuanzi in front of him was his elder brother in disguise, and that he wanted to repeat the battle he had fought against him five hundred years ago.

Last time, he helped him overcome three calamities; this time, he will directly help him avoid the consequences of being imprisoned under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years.

"You monkey, you've gotten tough before."

As he spoke, another lash came down with the whip.

Sun Wukong's eyes widened, and he let out a muffled groan.

His appearance was even more tragic than his previous screams, which made Tang Sanzang and his companions feel heartbroken.

Pigsy shouted, "Great Immortal Zhenyuan, it was I, Pigsy, who sent Monkey to fetch that ginseng fruit. If you want to hit someone, hit me, Pigsy!"

Seeing this, Sha Wujing also said, "I'm involved too, hit me."

Tang Sanzang was not to be outdone. "What the Great Immortal said is true. It is this humble monk who has not been strict enough in managing his subordinates. Let this humble monk take the next few lashes."

“All of you shut up, Old Sun. I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. I pushed the ginseng fruit tree down; it has nothing to do with them.”

He blinked twice, almost revealing Lin Zhu's identity telepathically.

Nobody can take away the whip that Big Brother gave to me, Old Sun.

"You two seem to have a deep bond as master and disciple." Taking advantage of Sun Wukong's momentary lapse in attention, Lin Zhu unleashed a series of lashes with his whip.

Before Sun Wukong could prepare, another scream of agony rang out, a sound so painful that even Guanyin was alarmed.

The Vajra Venerable gasped and looked at Guanyin, saying, "Guanyin Venerable, didn't Zhenyuan Daxian go to Chaos? Do you know who it is that can make this monkey scream so pitifully?"

Guanyin shook her head, feeling that the performance didn't have to be so realistic.

After cracking the whip, Sun Wukong looked at Lin Zhu with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

If you're going to attack, then attack! But you had to resort to sneak attacks.

Lin Zhu ignored the gaze and continued to look at Tang Sanzang, "Tang Sanzang, it's your turn."

"Wait, wait, wait. Even if my master has made mistakes, I, his disciple, will take the blame for him." Sun Wukong continued to take full responsibility.

"Wukong!" Tang Sanzang called out even more emotionally this time. He hadn't expected that Sun Wukong, who was usually not very respectful to him, would now be enduring immense pain to suffer in his place. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, a thousand feelings surging up inside him.

"Alright, alright, no need to put on this show of deep master-disciple affection in front of me. I don't buy it." He pointed at Sun Wukong and said, "You monkey knocked down my ginseng fruit tree. Even if I cast your soul into the Avici Hell, even if Zhunti comes, he won't say a word against it."

Lin Zhu was very arrogant, even daring to directly mention the Dao Master's name.

Sun Wukong chuckled inwardly, thinking that his older brother's acting skills were quite good.

"Go ahead and hit me, Great Immortal! This time, I, Old Sun, will not utter a single... Aww~"

He was about to retort when Lin Zhu lashed out with his whip, forcing him to yell whether he wanted to or not.

Then came another ten lashes.

Even Sun Wukong was speechless. What kind of twisted sense of humor does my older brother have?

After the whip was finished, Sun Wukong felt completely refreshed, and his cultivation seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough.

Lin Zhu put away the Seven Star Whip, then his palm burst into flames, which he aimed at the oil pot and ignited—it was the extreme heat of the sun's true fire.

Pigsy, being quite knowledgeable, immediately exclaimed upon seeing the True Fire of the Sun, "Great Immortal, isn't this unnecessary? This is the True Fire of the Sun! Even an indestructible body would be burned to ashes!"

Sun Wukong's eyes widened as well. He possessed an indestructible body and thought to himself, "Brother, are you serious?"

Lin Zhu said, "You blockhead do have some knowledge, so I'll let you go down first."

Pigsy chickened out, "Great Immortal, my predecessors must have had some dealings with you. If the ginseng fruit tree is knocked down, we can find a way to put it back up, right? Let's not hurt our relationship."

He doesn't know if he can escape this calamity, so he can only reveal some of his background.

"Hehe!" Lin Zhu laughed, "If you can help the ginseng fruit tree stand up, then I will let bygones be bygones."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, knowing that the real show was about to begin. "Is what you say true, Great Immortal?"

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."

"Then give me, Old Sun, three days. After three days, I, Old Sun, will definitely find a way to revive your family's ginseng fruit tree."
