Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 877 - 878: The Heavenly Demon City’s Show of Force (Second Update!)

Sun Wukong rode on Leopard Three, who took him towards the Tiandou Great Forest.

"Leopard Three, why haven’t any demon beasts come out to attack us along the way?"

After running in the Tiandou Great Forest for two days, Sun Wukong curiously asked Leopard Three.

During these two days, no demon beasts jumped out to attack Sun Wukong, which made him quite puzzled. Before Leopard Three carried him forward, there were occasionally one or two ignorant demon beasts that would jump out, but now there was none. It was as if the demon beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest had all disappeared.

"Naturally! I have already spread word of your identity, Your Highness. Which fool would dare to provoke your wrath?"

Leopard Three replied flatteringly.

"You spread word of my identity? When did you do that? Why didn’t I know?"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t noticed Leopard Three doing anything special.

"Hehe, Your Highness might not know, but this is a little trick we demon beasts of the Tiandou Great Forest use to transmit messages. I attach the message I want to convey to my demonic power and infuse it into the trees. The trees will naturally transmit the message through the earth, various vines, and insects."

Leopard Three said with a bit of pride.

"So now the news that I am a member of the royal family of the Battle God Ape Clan has already reached Heavenly Demon City?"

Sun Wukong frowned. He had originally planned to enter Heavenly Demon City quietly to find the whereabouts of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Goddess Nuwa, but it seemed that wouldn’t be possible now.

"Your Highness, don’t you want others to know your identity?"

Leopard Three wasn’t stupid. From Sun Wukong’s expression, he guessed Sun Wukong’s concerns. He suddenly shrank his neck, worried that he had misunderstood Sun Wukong’s intentions and might be punished.

"Never mind, you’ve already exposed my identity. What else can I do? Let it be known, that way I don’t have to sneak around!"

Sun Wukong lightly patted Leopard Three on the head, "Speed up, let’s get to Heavenly Demon City as soon as possible. Let’s stride boldly into Heavenly Demon City together!"

"Alright!"

Leopard Three was overjoyed. As a demon beast that hadn’t yet shape-shifted, he originally had no qualification to enter Heavenly Demon City. He could only cultivate in the Tiandou Great Forest. Only when he could shape-shift into human form would he qualify to enter Heavenly Demon City for further cultivation.

But now that Sun Wukong had spoken, he could enter Heavenly Demon City in his beast form. Heavenly Demon City was full of spiritual treasures valuable to demon beasts. As long as he consumed some, he could take a step forward towards transforming into human form!

This was a great opportunity for Leopard Three!

Immediately, Leopard Three let out an excited long howl, speeded up a bit more, and dashed towards Heavenly Demon City in the depths of the Tiandou Great Forest.

In the depths of the Tiandou Great Forest, on the Demon Gathering Platform in Heavenly Demon City.

"Have you heard? A royal member of the Battle God Ape Clan is coming towards Heavenly Demon City from the Tiandou Great Forest."

"Of course, I’ve heard! This news is already all over Heavenly Demon City! The royal family of the Battle God Ape Clan, isn’t that a rare sight?"

"Who knows if it’s true or not? The royal family of the Battle God Ape Clan? Hah! I bet it’s someone pretending to be from the Battle God Ape Clan to create a fuss. Even if it is a royal member of the Battle God Ape Clan, so what? Heavenly Demon City is now ruled by the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan. Do they think they can change that by sending out a Battle God Ape? Ridiculous!"

Sun Wukong did not know that his identity as a royal member of the Battle God Ape Clan had already caused an uproar in Heavenly Demon City. Many experts from the Demon Clan gathered at the Demon Gathering Platform, waiting to teach him a lesson upon his arrival.

The Battle God Ape Clan, being one of the royal clans within the Demon Clan, had their own territory like the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, and royals rarely appeared in Heavenly Demon City. The sudden emergence of a royal member naturally provoked various thoughts among the experts. The quiet waters of the pond had suddenly been disturbed by a sizeable stone, inevitably causing waves.

After running in the Tiandou Great Forest for two more days, Sun Wukong finally arrived outside Heavenly Demon City. Seeing the city gates from afar, Sun Wukong breathed a long sigh of relief, "Finally here!"

The Tiandou Great Forest was indeed vast. Even with Leopard Three hurrying at full speed, it took several days to reach the depths of the forest where Heavenly Demon City was located. If Sun Wukong had to find his way, he might have stayed in the forest for a year and still not find the city.

"Let’s go, we’re going in!"

Sun Wukong pointed towards the city gates and said loudly.

Leopard Three let out a long roar towards the sky and proudly carried Sun Wukong towards the city gates.

Heavenly Demon City, the place all demon beasts aspired to reach, only those who had shape-shifted could enter. Today, Leopard Three could finally walk in with dignity!

If Leopard One and Leopard Two found out, they’d definitely be envious of him.

"Hmm? Something doesn’t feel right!"

As soon as he entered the gates, Sun Wukong felt that the air around seemed somewhat stagnant, something didn’t feel right. He immediately frowned, although Leopard Three seemed to have noticed nothing amiss and was rather enjoying the envious and curious gazes from the surrounding demon clansmen.

"Is that the royal member of the Battle God Ape Clan? Doesn’t look like much!"

"Just a Domain Soldier level of cultivation, nothing impressive! With such cultivation, he dares to come to Heavenly Demon City to stir trouble?"

"Heh, still unsure if he’s truly a royal member of the Battle God Ape Clan!"

"His Highness, the Heavenly Prince, has already set up a platform at the Demon Gathering Platform waiting for this guy. There will be a great show to watch!"

Voices of discussion floated into Sun Wukong’s ears, making his eyes narrow slightly. It seemed his identity as a royal member of the Battle God Ape Clan had already brought him quite some trouble. He hadn’t even set foot in Heavenly Demon City yet, and someone was already displeased and planning to cause trouble for him!

To be unenvied is to be ordinary! Well, let them come; soldiers come to fight, water to douse fire. He would like to see who dared to trouble him!

Swish!

Swish!

Two figures leapt down from the pagoda on the left, landing in front of Sun Wukong, blocking Leopard Three’s path.

"Are you Sun Wukong?"

"Are you the royal member of the Battle God Ape Clan?"

The two had an arrogant expression, coldly asking Sun Wukong.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed slightly. Even without thinking, he knew these two were not friendly.

"His Highness, the Heavenly Prince, invites you. Come with us!"

The two still bore an air of superiority.

"Heavenly Prince? Who’s that? Do you expect me to go just because you say so?"

Sun Wukong grinned, revealing a hint of a fierce smile, "Want to give me a show of force? No problem, but sending you small fries? Is that Heavenly Prince blind?"
