She admired this version of Lu Wenchang, who always seemed to know exactly what he wanted to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if no difficulty could bring him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This won’t be an easy task,\" Lin Fang couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Demon Clan, mired in ignorance, pursuing great physical strength was an unrelenting aspiration; they would prefer death to reading a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang could already foresee the difficulties Lu Wenchang would encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I know this task is as tough as reaching the heavens, but someone has to do it, otherwise the Demon Clan will have no future,\" Lu Wenchang said with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere turned somewhat heavy at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lin Fang changed the subject, \"Have you decided on a name for the academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s call it Bailu Academy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bailu Academy,\" Lin Fang appraised Lu Wenchang, speculating about his race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, I’ll help you build this academy. I also want to see how you can change this land,\" Lin Fang said with a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that day on, many busy people appeared on this unnamed mountain. Numerous monsters from the Treasure Space voluntarily came to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them was formidable, with profound mana, and with their help, Bailu Academy quickly rose into existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Wenchang picked up a brush and wrote \"Bailu Academy\" on a wooden plaque, the surrounding monsters cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together with Lin Fang, they examined the newly built school, an academy belonging to the Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regrettably, there are still no students in this academy,\" Lu Wenchang said, somewhat sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, since the framework was in place, he could now start moving step by step towards his ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you found any students yet?\" Lin Fang asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a small monster tribe nearby, I’m not sure what race, but I’m planning to go there and see if I can get some students,\" Lu Wenchang said reflectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the greatest challenge was just beginning; as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the start. Even at this stage, Lu Wenchang was still anxious in his heart, unsure if he could successfully kickstart this endeavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He composed himself and slowly walked into the small monster village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be the territory of a group of Cat Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These short creatures displayed a look of fear upon seeing Lu Wenchang approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Lu Wenchang appeared no different from a human, this indicated that he was either a being of profound mana or from a powerful race; otherwise, he would have had some monster traits, more or less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And whatever the case, it was a disaster for these weak monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly Cat Demon, leaning on a walking stick, came out and said to Lu Wenchang shakily, \"May I know what brings you to our place, sir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he was praying that this powerful member of the Demon Clan wouldn’t make too excessive demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wenchang looked around and noticed that there were many young monsters, but not a single adult monster could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he asked curiously, \"Old man, where have all the able-bodied villagers gone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man sighed and said, \"They were taken by the Flying Sky Great King to build his palace, and we don’t know when they can return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flying Sky Great King?\" Lu Wenchang did not recognize the name of this monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His unawareness quite surprised the old man as he said, \"You haven’t heard of the Flying Sky Great King?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the strongest Demon King within a hundred miles. How could it be possible that a monster hadn’t heard of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wenchang, however, smiled softly and said, \"I come from afar and am unfamiliar with the affairs of this place. Could you please tell me about this Flying Sky Great King?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such a high-ranking demon being so polite, the old man felt greatly flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly waved his hand and said, \"Please don’t trouble yourself over me, sir. Let me properly tell you about the Flying Sky Great King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man coughed gently and cleared his throat before slowly beginning, \"This Flying Sky Great King is a person of vast Divine Skills. He possesses a Divine Skill that allows him to speak a word, and no matter how formidable the person, they will begin to feel drowsy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is extremely swift, and many cannot keep up with his speed. He is the most powerful Demon King of our generation, having defeated many Demon Kings and become the ruler here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At some point, he heard that those powerful Demon Kings all had magnificent palaces, so he too decided to build a palace for himself, taking all the monsters from hundreds of miles around to labor on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The poor children of our village have been taken away for a long time. Now we do not even know whether they are dead or alive; after all, we Cat Demons are frail, and such heavy labor might not suit us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said with a sigh. Yet what could be done? In this world where the strong prey upon the weak, being feeble is a sin in itself. Who’s to blame for being born weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the old man’s story, Lu Wenchang’s heart felt very bleak, witnessing the tragedy that had persisted through countless years on this land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Clan seemed to be forever repeating these stories. The only difference was probably the protagonists of these tales—the celebrated Demon Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently waved his hand, gathering those curious children around, and then asked them very gently, \"Do you think what the Flying Sky Great King is doing is right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children shook their heads, not knowing. They had grown up in such an environment, never thinking about right or wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one little one quietly said, \"I think what he is doing is wrong, I miss my mom and dad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words immediately resonated with the other children.\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","df8e612ade9a4fc152a2c86663a362c2487716f54a93f71ad6eecf4c0278366e","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-203","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-201",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
