Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 250 - 150: Lion Camel Ridge!
Tang Sanzang nodded slightly and muttered, "Ugly, humanoid, not tasty... forget it, I won’t bother with it." Then Tang Sanzang asked Zhu Ganglie, "What does this have to do with the seal on your body?"
Zhu Ganglie replied with a bitter smile, "Back when I was cultivating the Tian Gang Thirty-six Techniques, a strong member of the Aquatic Tribe invaded my sea of consciousness, leading to demonic possession. Thankfully, the True Martial Great Emperor intervened in time, using the Six Paths of True Martial Divine Chains to lock away the demonic aura, which saved me.
However, since then, not only did my strength plummet to the level of a Taiqing Profound Immortal, but I also dared not cultivate recklessly anymore. Once I start to cultivate, it could trigger the power within the seal and lead to demonic possession again.
Unable to cultivate, my strength continued to decline year after year...
In the end, I even fell to the mortal world and turned into a pig...
Now, this is the extent of my strength."
As he spoke, Zhu Ganglie’s eyes filled with bitterness.
Back in the day, he too was imposing, standing proudly above the clouds, admired by countless immortals.
Latterly, not even a palace maid would spare him a second glance, and some even accused him of impropriety...
Now, as a pig-headed creature, even finding a mortal woman is a struggle.
The agony within could only be understood by him alone.
Seeing Zhu Ganglie’s spirits low, Sun Wukong patted his head and said, "Blockhead, give me some time. Once my strength is sufficient, I’ll help you break the seal and dispel the demonic aura. Then, you’ll be the magnificent Marshal Tian Peng again."
Zhu Ganglie gratefully said, "Thank you, eldest brother."

The Six-Eared Macaque leaned towards Tang Sanzang and asked, "Master, with your strength, breaking the second brother’s seal shouldn’t be difficult, right?"
Tang Sanzang shook his head and replied, "I don’t know whether it’s difficult, but I certainly won’t break it."
Sun Wukong said, "Master cannot cultivate, nor can he mobilize any vital energy of heaven and earth, nor can he comprehend the great Dao of nature. He only has brute strength. Perhaps Master could forcefully tear apart the seal, but dealing with the consequences that the seal’s breaking could trigger would be hard even for Master to handle."
To this, Tang Sanzang could not deny.
Sha Wujing glanced at Sun Wukong and blinked, as if to say, "After Master has had some drink, he can perform Divine Skills. Why don’t we let him drink some and settle the matter?"
Zhu Ganglie hastily gestured with his eyes, roaring in silent communication, "Wujing, don’t you start suggesting nonsense! Giving Master liquor, is that breaking the seal? That’s preparing him a drink to go with his meal, understand?"
Sha Wujing fell silent...
Months passed in a blink.
As they flipped over one mountain ridge after another, they encountered fewer and fewer demons.
Tang Sanzang was almost in despair, even considering whether to make a great leap onto the mystical mountain.
Just at that moment, an enormous mountain range appeared ahead, sprawling like a colossal dragon laying between heaven and earth, with billowing black, blood, and malevolent auras rising to the sky, spreading across thousands of miles.

The sky was shrouded in darkness, with no sunlight to be seen, only a confluence of blood mist and malefic fog swirling amidst the clouds, where ghostly faces sporadically emerged, screaming incessantly...
Throughout the journey, Tang Sanzang and his companions, who had seen a fair share of the world, encountered many kinds of demons, but they had never come across such an abundant, terrifying demonic aura before!
Seeing such a massive mountain, it was needless to say, there must be a nefarious demon inside!
Sun Wukong said gravely, "Such a potent demonic aura, and the curious presence of resentment energy, murderous aura, and malevolent qi! This place must harbor an unparalleled demon!"
With just one glance at the mountain’s aura, Zhu Ganglie began to tremble, lamenting, "Master, when I was sealed, much of my courage was also trapped within that seal, so... it’s not that I am afraid, I genuinely can’t help but shiver."
Sun Wukong said, "Master, you wait here for a moment, I’ll go scout ahead to see which demon dares to commit such atrocities."
Tang Sanzang didn’t mind and reminded him, "Take Wufan with you, it’s better to have someone to watch each other’s back."
Zhu Ganglie shook his head like a rattle-drum and yelled like a pig being slaughtered, "Master, this… this, I can’t go!"
But Sun Wukong didn’t care about him, and dragged him away.
Zhu Ganglie kept shouting, "Master, Little Six is stronger than me, let him go instead, I’ll miss you as soon as I leave you!"
Sha Wujing whispered, "Master, Second Brother is cowardly, if Big Brother goes with him, he’ll definitely be scared."
Zhu Ganglie quickly agreed, "Right, right, the monkey is limited in strength, of course I’d be scared."
Sha Wujing said, "Cowardice can be overcome with practice, I suggest, let him go alone."
Zhu Ganglie immediately stopped his wailing and stared at Sha Wujing with pig’s eyes dead set on him, cursing, "Sha the third, are you still human?!"
However, Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and said, "This suggestion isn’t bad, Wufan, you have one hour to scout out the situation. If you scout well, we get to fight the demon and eat meat; if not…"
"I know, you want to eat my meat, right? I see it now, if the demons don’t eat my meat, you all will. Either way, I’m going to be eaten, so why shouldn’t Old Pig give it his all?"
After speaking, Zhu Ganglie left, crying hot tears and cursing Sha Wujing.
Watching Zhu Ganglie’s retreating back, Sun Wukong felt a bit heartbroken.
Tang Sanzang said, "Stop looking at me, go follow him, lest that fool really gets eaten by the demon."
Sun Wukong’s heart warmed as he thought, "Indeed, Master is only verbally harsh, he actually cares deeply for everyone."
Then he heard Tang Sanzang mutter, "My food rations can’t be eaten by someone else… that would be a huge loss. The transportation costs I’ve incurred along the way would be all for nothing…"
Sun Wukong was speechless…
In the end, Sun Wukong still went after Zhu Ganglie.
…
Meanwhile, within the Liones Camel Ridge, Lion Camel Cave!
On a high platform inside the cave, three old demons sat menacingly.
The one in the middle, with his carved teeth and serrated choppers, round head and square face. His roar like thunder, his gaze electric. Snout pointed skyward, red eyebrows flaring. Where his eyes fell, beasts quaked; and when he closed his eyes, demons still trembled in fear; this one was a king among beasts, the Green-haired Lion Monster.
To his left, an old demon with phoenix eyes and golden pupils, yellow fangs and thick legs. Long-snouted and silver-furred, its head looked like a tail. With a wrinkled brow and round forehead, its body was mountainous in size. Yet his voice was like a tender beauty, and his face was as ugly as a bull-headed demon; this was an old elephant that had cultivated for many years.
To his right, another old demon bore the head of a Golden Winged Kun, eyes starry like a leopard’s, and the frosty gleam in its brows suggested it was capable of devouring dragons and phoenixes; this was a Great Peng bird that could travel ninety thousand leagues in one flap.
Beneath them, two rows of demonic chiefs stood at the ready, about a hundred in number, each fully armed and armored, exuding awe and brimming with murderous intent.
The three Demon Kings were feasting heartily on human flesh and drinking fiery liquor.
Opposite the three Demon Kings stood a monk, to be precise, an Arhat.
Sweat dripped from the Arhat’s forehead as he watched the Demon Kings eat human flesh. He wanted to intervene several times, but ultimately couldn’t bring himself to speak out.
It wasn’t that he didn’t dare, but the aura of the three Demon Kings was so oppressive, he couldn’t even open his mouth!
