Chapter 2028: Clamoring on the River, Great Demon Appears

The crowd discussed it one after another, and Chen San'er, seeing that the oil just splashed had already achieved an excellent fire-extinguishing effect, immediately splashed the entire basin of vegetable oil onto the flames.

"Splash!"

With a loud boom, wherever the vegetable oil flowed, the flames were all extinguished, leaving only a charred black area.

Old Master Chen looked at General Juan Lian with considerable trust and said, "Quick, everyone go to my backyard to get vegetable oil. I have dozens of vats of vegetable oil stored there. We must extinguish this fire; we cannot let the Chen Family Ancestral Hall be destroyed in our generation!"

Hearing Old Master Chen's words, the crowd nodded one after another and ran toward Old Master Chen's mansion.

General Juan Lian stood in place, lost in thought. He couldn't help but think, "Many times, people always stay within the cognition of what they have seen. For things they cannot understand, they simply do not agree."

"Just like that monster, the Spirit-Inspired King—they would believe those lies he told them, but now that I am here to help them, they don't believe me instead."

He suddenly remembered a sentence from a Buddhist scripture that his master, Tang Sanzang, had once told him: "If you see all appearances as non-appearances, you see Rulai. That is probably what this means."

But fortunately, among these sentient beings with murky consciousness, there were always some clear-headed people, such as Old Master Chen, and even Chen San'er.

It is said that at this time, Sun Wukong and the others were on the Tongtian River.

Sun Wukong held the Priest in his hand, looked down at the river surface, and shouted loudly, "Spirit-Inspired King, come out for your Sun Grandpa!"

On the river surface, waves surged, but there was still no response at all.

Sun Wukong frowned and said again, "Spirit-Inspired King, if you don't come out, I will kill your Priest!"

Sun Wukong's voice echoed over the river surface, and just at this moment, a massive whirlpool appeared on the river, and a moment later, a high water column shot straight up.

"Who is the one tired of living, daring to come here and find trouble with me!"

The Spirit-Inspired King followed the water column up to the river surface and hovered in mid-air, holding a silver fork horizontally in his right hand.

Looking at this Spirit-Inspired King, he was covered in golden scales. Although he was dressed in silver soft armor and looked like a human, his head was clearly that of a golden fish.

"Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"

Sun Wukong glared at him and said loudly.

"Hehe." The Spirit-Inspired King let out a cold laugh and said with extreme contempt, "I wondered who it was; so it's the Bimawen who has come."

"What's the matter? You coerced my Priest just to force me to show my face? Do you think you are my match?"

The Spirit-Inspired King's words immediately enraged Sun Wukong. For so many years, he hated others calling him Bimawen the most, and this Spirit-Inspired King clearly knew his past and was intentionally provoking him.

He held the listless Priest in his left hand, and with a flash in his right hand, the Ruyi Jingu Bang appeared. He said angrily, "Looking for a beating!"

Sun Wukong's figure dragged out afterimages in the air, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, following a turn, carved out a massive golden arc of light, smashing toward the Spirit-Inspired King.

"Zheng!"

With a crisp sound, the Spirit-Inspired King didn't even dodge; he held his silver fork vertically and blocked Sun Wukong's fierce staff strike.

Fahai stood in the distance, sensing the aura around the Spirit-Inspired King, and immediately frowned.

"This Spirit-Inspired King has actually broken through to the Quasi-Saint cultivation base? Things look troublesome."

Fahai's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered to himself in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 2030 =====
