Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 591: Tang Monk has been here, quickly clean up!

Licked the corner of his mouth, the words of his subordinate, the Little Demon, indeed stirred up the temptation inside Saitaisui's belly.

However, very swiftly, Saitaisui suddenly shivered, and the slight temptation that had arisen was immediately suppressed.

Normally, committing misdeeds wasn't a problem, and even if the Bodhisattva knew about it, she would just turn a blind eye, at worst she would only rebuke a few words.

But now, it wasn't possible.

At this moment, Xuanzang and his companions were nearby. If they found out that he had eaten humans, would that not qualify as committing a misdeed?

Wouldn't they kill him to protect the way and exorcise demons?

Since he didn't dare eat, there was no point in keeping the humans, right?

After contemplating, Saitaisui waved to the Little Demon in front of him and said, "Alright, enough chattering, let the humans go!"

"Ah? Great King? You mean, let them go?" Hearing Saitaisui's words, the Little Demon widened his eyes in surprise and asked.

"Of course, if we don't let them go, what are we keeping them for? I'm telling you, in the coming days, everyone mind their manners, and if anyone eats humans, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Not only did he restrain himself from eating humans, but Saitaisui also sternly set a rule; even the Little Demons of Qilin Mountain couldn't eat humans lately.

"This, this…" Hearing this, many of the Little Demons glanced at each other, finding it hard to understand.

Not allowing them to eat human flesh? This was like not allowing soldiers to drink alcohol in the army!

"What? Do you really want to defy me?" Seeing the expressions on these Little Demons, Saitaisui knew what they were thinking. His face turned cold, and he asked sternly.

"We dare not!"

Not eating humans wouldn't kill anyone, but if they raised objections now, they might just be killed by the Great King. The surrounding Little Demons, who dared to say more? They all quickly bowed their heads, indicating their compliance and obedience to Saitaisui's orders.

"Hmm, that's good…" Seeing the reaction of the Little Demons, Saitaisui nodded his head in satisfaction.

"You want to send me away? This won't do!"

Regardless of what Saitaisui was thinking at this moment, his completely illogical reaction was making Jiang Liu feel anxious.

To acquire information, he had deliberately presented himself, but now, rather than eating human flesh, Saitaisui wanted to let him go?

If Saitaisui had never eaten humans at all, Jiang Liu might have respected him a bit, enduring the mission's failure and the penalty of losing 200 million Experience Points, Jiang Liu would not have killed him.

However, from his words, Jiang Liu could tell that Saitaisui had always eaten humans.

It was only that he had recently demanded the Little Demons not to eat any.

Saitaisui's behavior and words were indeed strange. Suddenly demanding these Little Demons not to eat humans? What was the reason?

Jiang Liu was both puzzled and anxious.

The urgency was about being captured and now possibly being released. How could he remain here?

He certainly couldn't tell Saitaisui that he was Tang Monk and that eating a piece of his flesh offered longevity, could he?

"Go, go!" Jiang Liu was internally anxious, wanting to stay, but for the moment, he couldn't find any excuse. With the push from the Little Demon, he walked towards the outside of the Demon Cave.

"Right, all of you stay sharp, and pay attention. If a Tang Dynasty monk seeking scriptures passes by, report to me immediately!"

Watching the Little Demon pushing Jiang Liu out, Saitaisui thought of something and suddenly spoke to the surrounding Little Demons.

"Understood, Great King!" As Saitaisui's words fell, all the surrounding Little Demons responded in unison.

"The opportunity has come…" Right when he was worried about not finding an excuse to stay, hearing Saitaisui's words, a thought struck Jiang Liu, and he was secretly delighted.

"Wait, Great King, did you need something from me?"

To stay, Jiang Liu could only feign ignorance, putting on a straightforward and foolish demeanor, turning his head and asking Saitaisui.

"What are you talking about, Little Monk? When did I need you? I was looking for, looking for…"

Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Saitaisui initially waved his hand, but then, seemingly realizing Jiang Liu's identity, his eyes widened in shock and he stared at Jiang Liu.

"You, you are the Tang Dynasty monk going to the Western Heaven for scriptures?" Saitaisui swallowed and asked.

"Indeed, I am!"

"This cannot be; tell me, what is your Dharma name?"

"Amitabha, my Dharma name is Xuanzang!"

"Then, do you have disciples, and who are they?"

"I have three disciples; my eldest disciple, Sun Wukong, is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who caused Havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago; my second disciple, Zhu Bajie, was Marshal Tianpeng, who commanded the Heavenly River's naval forces; my third disciple, Sha Wujing, was the Jade Emperor's General Juanlian…"

"I, I don't believe it. I remember that Master Xuanzang is the Holy Monk with twelve Scars of Precepts; if you really are him, show me the scars on your head!"

"Since the Great King does not believe, I will show you now," Jiang Liu said as he removed the monk hat from his head, fully revealing the twelve Scar of Precepts on his scalp.

He had no choice, originally he intended to conceal his identity and secretly investigate the truth about Saitaisui.

However, since Saitaisui was acting unreasonably and even trying to drive him away, Jiang Liu had to reveal his true identity.

He was the mount of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, come to fulfill his destiny, which simply meant he was here to cause trouble for himself.

If they still wanted to drive him away even after knowing his identity, that would be completely unreasonable.

Since sneaking in was ineffective, he then had to resort to overt tactics, forcing Saitaisui to keep him here.

"Twelve Scar of Precepts? This, this kind of Buddhist connection, truly unseen before!" said the Little Demons in the Demon Cave, their voices hissing coldly one after another.

It's confirmed now!

Originally, when Jiang Liu claimed his identity as the Tang Monk, Saitaisui did not believe him, or perhaps did not want to believe.

The few questions asked just now were not to prove Jiang Liu's identity as the Tang Monk, but rather to hope to prove he was not the Tang Monk.

However, speaking up to this point and even seeing the twelve Scar of Precepts on Jiang Liu's head, Saitaisui was stunned and confirmed Jiang Liu's identity.

Indeed, this was the Tang Monk!

"It's over, what do we do next?"

As if frozen, Saitaisui watched Jiang Liu in horror, his mind even more muddled.

This person, fated in the great calamity of the Journey to the West, ordinary people dare not provoke, and suddenly, he just appeared right in front of him?

Luckily, at the crucial moment just now, he had come to his senses and had not actually prepared to kill and eat the Tang Monk, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Saitaisui felt a chill in his heart, but also a sense of relief from surviving the ordeal!

"He knows my identity, so his only choice should be to lock me up, right? Just like what happened initially with Gold-Horn and Silver Horn, and Ancestor Huangmei!"

Observing Saitaisui's expression, Jiang Liu knew he was obviously startled by suddenly learning his identity, but Jiang Liu thought that Saitaisui had no choice but to lock him up.

The eyes of the Little Demons of Qilin Mountain were all fixed on Jiang Liu and Saitaisui at this moment, looking at each other, unsure of how to react.

Only moments ago the Great King had told everyone to be on the lookout for monks coming from the Tang Dynasty and to report back quickly.

And now, the Little Monk just captured turned out to be the person the Great King was looking for?

"So it really is the Holy Monk from the Great Tang, long have I admired your illustrious name!" After turning pale and flushing repeatedly, Saitaisui forced a smile and spoke very happily.

"Did I hear that you were looking for me just now, Great King? May I ask what it's about?" Jiang Liu said innocently to Saitaisui.

"Oh, it's nothing much, just that I heard about a monk from the Great Tang who is traveling to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, and I greatly admired it. So I had asked my Little Demons to be alert and not to affront the Holy Monk!"

"I never expected that you, Holy Monk, would arrive early and even be captured into this cave – this is truly a great misunderstanding!"

"Fortunately, Holy Monk, you are unharmed, which eases my mind a bit!"

"Come, quickly bring out a hundred taels of gold, no, a thousand taels, and also some of the ancient jade artifacts from my collection!"

With an enthusiastic yet remorseful air, Saitaisui hurriedly spoke, and finally had his Little Demons from the cave fetch a large chest.

Upon opening the chest, it was evident that it contained only gold and jade.

"These items, will be gifted to the Holy Monk as sustenance for his journey to the West and as a token of my apology. Quick, escort the Holy Monk away immediately!"

Giving no chance for Jiang Liu to respond, and after presenting a chest full of gold and jade as compensation, he immediately arranged for several Little Demons to escort Jiang Liu away.

Jiang Liu, who had been waiting for Saitaisui to lock him up, looked bewildered as he was escorted by several Little Demons out of the Demon Cave of Qilin Mountain.

What was all this about?

…

"Whew, he's gone, thank goodness!" Saitaisui sighed deeply as he watched Jiang Liu being escorted away, feeling his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"What's up with this Xuanzang, wandering alone outside? And what about Sun Wukong and the others, not taking good care of their own master?"

"It's too dangerous, just now I almost fulfilled the calamity, nearly perishing. Luckily, I maintained clarity of mind at the crucial moment!"

"No more, ever since Xuanzang came, I feel like the cave isn't clean anymore!"

"Someone, quickly clean the cave inside and out thoroughly! Let no dust remain."

"Also, incense must be burned! No trace of scent can be left behind!"

"Clear all the mustiness out of the cave, do you hear? Quickly get moving!"
