Chapter 38
The Straw Hat Warrior, Sent by Yang Jian?

On the screen.

The Heaven-Mandated One and Bukong were locked in battle.

But this time, after the Heaven-Mandated One released the Gathering Punishment Scattered Qi, he left behind a phantom.

Bukong struck the phantom with a palm, and just as he realized it was an illusion, he was struck on the back by the Heaven-Mandated One's staff.

He was sent sprawling to the ground.

Before he could recover, the Heaven-Mandated One unleashed a powerful blow with his staff, instantly turning him into dust.

The Heaven-Mandated One breathed a sigh of relief, returned to Happy Forest, and informed the fox's spirit about this.

The fox could finally rest in peace.

After leaving.

The Heaven-Mandated One returned to the north shore of the Sea of Bitterness and walked towards the sea.

Suddenly, a cry for help reached his ears.

The Heaven-Mandated One rushed over to see a group of Infinite Bat demons surrounding a man wearing a straw hat.

“Get away, get away!”

The man's legs were shaking with fear.

Seeing this, the Heaven-Mandated One didn't hesitate. He grabbed his staff and beat the Infinite Bats to death.

He then went forward to check on the man in the straw hat.

“You wouldn't eat me, would you?”

“This humble one, this humble one came to this mountain to seek treasure, but unfortunately encountered these monsters.”

“Thanks to your heroic rescue, when I obtain the treasure, I will share it with you.”

Seeing that the man had no hostile intent, the Heaven-Mandated One left.

When he arrived again at the Forest of Sinful Karma Pagoda, he was about to climb the mountain to settle the score with the Yellow Browed Old Man.

But at that moment, a voice crying for help reached his ears again.

The Heaven-Mandated One followed the sound to see the man wearing the straw hat.

He was sitting on a stone, shivering with cold.

“Fire, fire…”

The man in the straw hat mumbled.

The Heaven-Mandated One walked over and used the newly learned An Shen Fa (Calming Spirit Technique) to draw a fire circle around the man.

As the fire circle appeared, the man in the straw hat was no longer so afraid of the cold.

Then, he told the Heaven-Mandated One a story.

He said that he had seen a child jump off a cliff at the lower end of the river ahead.

When he went back to check, there was no child's body, but a field of melons.

Curious, the Heaven-Mandated One followed the river to the place the man in the straw hat described.

There, he did not see any melon field, only an empty and desolate valley.

Just as the Heaven-Mandated One was about to leave, a fire circle suddenly flew out.

The fire circle was incredibly fast. If the Heaven-Mandated One hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been seriously injured.

“You've been tested three times, and you are still foolishly kind.”

“Humph!”

“Even big brother can make mistakes. Such petty tricks, easily fooled.”

“You can never become the Heaven-Mandated One, better to reach the Land of Bliss early.”

Out of thin air, a light circle appeared.

From the light circle emerged a man in a straw hat. This was the same man from before.

Only, he had cunningly tricked the Heaven-Mandated One.

It seemed he wanted to take care of the Heaven-Mandated One here.

At that moment, the Heaven-Mandated One rolled several times in a row, dodging the flames.

He casually threw out a Fire-Avoiding Shield, wrapping himself in it.

The flames could not harm the Heaven-Mandated One in the slightest.

The Heaven-Mandated One used the Binding Technique to immobilize the man in the straw hat, preparing to counterattack.

Bang—

In an instant!

The man in the straw hat broke free of the Binding Technique and jumped directly into the fire circle.

“Inferior techniques, dare you show your face?”

Suddenly!

The audience in front of the screen was stunned.

The Binding Technique, it didn't work?

But the Heaven-Mandated One didn't hesitate for too long. He immediately used the An Shen Fa (Calming Spirit Technique).

He picked up his staff and drew a fire circle on the ground.

The man in the straw hat appeared behind the Heaven-Mandated One, about to strike, but he was thrown back by the fire circle.

The Heaven-Mandated One swung his staff with all his might, sending the man in the straw hat reeling back.

The man in the straw hat was badly wounded.

“Big brother's orders, I have understood them. No need to delay any further.”

He said.

The man in the straw hat drew a fire circle in the air, jumped into it, and disappeared.

…………

The world of Journey to the West.

The Monkey King heard the man in the straw hat mentioning “big brother.”

He immediately understood that this man, like the previous White-Clothed Scholar, was a subordinate of Yang Jian?

“Damn!”

“Yang Jian's people again.”

“This guy is truly a relentless ghost, the old grudge hasn't been settled, yet he…”

“Keeps sending people to obstruct my, Sun Wukong's resurrection.”

The Monkey King was furious, scratching his head.

“Monkey King, this Yang Jian is truly despicable.”

“Even at this point, he's still relentlessly pushing his limits.”

“I will never forgive him!”

Pigsy picked up his nine-toothed rake and swung it a few times.

Although he couldn't defeat Yang Jian, he still wanted to vent his anger for the Monkey King.

“Pigsy, you have a good heart. That's enough.”

“I will remember Yang Jian's grudge. I will settle the score with him slowly.”

“But these few people from Mei Shan, I will not let a single one of them go.”

The Monkey King said angrily.

These guys, when he made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, they were the ones who set fire to Flower Fruit Mountain.

And now they're hindering his reincarnation as the Heaven-Mandated One, causing all these troubles.

New grudges and old grudges.

Sun Wukong has always remembered them. Since Yang Jian was unrighteous, then don't blame him for being unrighteous.

…………

The One-Man World.

“This person... is also Yang Jian's subordinate?”

“It's simply incomprehensible, using such despicable means to stop the Heaven-Mandated One.”

“It was this villain who took advantage of the Great Sage being tormented by the Tight Hoop Spell to injure him.”

“Now he's sending people to cause trouble again. This Yang Jian... when the Great Sage is resurrected, he will not be spared.”

Zhang Chulan said.

In his eyes, among all the heavenly Buddhas, Yang Jian was the worst.

From the beginning, he led the heavenly soldiers and generals to besiege Flower Fruit Mountain.

Now, all the heavenly Buddhas are not attacking the Monkey King, but this guy...

He is still constantly sending people to set ambushes on the Monkey King's path to resurrection.

If the Heaven-Mandated One hadn't been so tough, he would have died long ago.

“Sigh, things can't be judged solely by appearances.”

“Zhang Chulan, haven't you noticed that they only mention big brother's orders?”

“But so far, we still don't know what big brother instructed?”

“There must be some unspeakable reason behind this?”

Wang Ye said thoughtfully, frowning.

In his opinion, there must be something else going on here.

If they were really trying to stop the Heaven-Mandated One, then why not attack together?

At the beginning, when the Heaven-Mandated One was not yet fully grown, if they had attacked together, he would have been unable to resist.

Instead, they need one after another, to guide the Heaven-Mandated One to obtain treasures?

Wang Ye felt that the three bells mentioned by the White-Clothed Scholar, and the golden ancient country mentioned by that pig, all seemed like some kind of guidance.

…………

The world of Black Myth: Wukong.

On Hidden Mei Shan.

Yang Jian was sitting in front of a temple, with a small fire burning in front of him.

Beside him sat a large black dog with its tongue hanging out. It was his companion, the Xiaot ian Quan (Sky-Howling Hound).

Yang Jian looked at the insults on the screen and sighed.
