Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 535: Jumang: The Scripture Seeker is here, I’m a bit...

Might is revered, and this law applies everywhere, but nowhere is it as brutally simple as in the Demon Realm.

As long as you wield enough power, you can do whatever you please!

Two demons, each over level 50, originally blocked Jiang Liu and his party midair on their path.

However, after sensing the power exhibited by Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and Sun Wukong, they were overwhelmed with fear and quickly changed their tune.

"Esteemed lords, please, right this way..."

A sycophantic smile spread across their faces as they spoke, behaving like bootlickers, inviting Jiang Liu and his entourage to enter.

"Indeed, in this Demon Realm, to do anything, one simply needs to display their strength—it's quite straightforward!"

At the invitation of these two demons, Jiang Liu naturally had no intention of showing any cowardice. Together with his disciples, he descended directly into the heart of the Witch Demon Forest.

The Demon Palace within the Witch Demon Forest was not a grand structure but a large cluster of treehouses interlinked and intertwined, forming an expansive architectural complex.

In the very center lay an exceptionally massive treehouse, which was, evidently, the palace where Jumang resided.

"Gentlemen, please wait here for a moment while I go in and notify Lord Jumang!" said the demon who led Jiang Liu and his companions to the treehouse, speaking as they arrived outside the grand structure.

Dashing inside hurriedly, there was no doubt he went to inform Jumang.

Shortly thereafter, the demon emerged at a brisk pace: "Gentlemen, the lord was in seclusion but has specially ended his retreat upon hearing that individuals from the Great Luo Realm have come to visit. Please, enter!"

Listen to that, the advantage of having strength!

The demon's words prompted Jiang Liu to nod subtly.

Ordinary people coming here, without reaching the Taiyi Realm, wouldn't even qualify to meet.

But for those with power? Just like Sun Wukong, who had reached the Great Luo Realm. Even if Jumang was in seclusion, he must emerge to meet in person. This was the benefit of strength.

Leading the way, Jiang Liu, followed by his disciples, entered the grand hall, where they could see a demon with green skin from head to toe, towering over five meters tall, looking down upon Jiang Liu's group from on high.

As Jiang Liu stepped in, his gaze fell upon the demon, and silently, he invoked a mental command, pulling up the information of his character to assess the situation.

ID: Jumang (Blue).

Gender: Male.

Profession: Demon.

Level: 83.

Equipment: …

"Level 83? Indeed, he has reached the existence of the Great Luo Realm!" Jiang Liu muttered to himself after checking Jumang's character profile.

A level 83 with a blue UI—such cultivation and power were truly extraordinary.

"Who are you? What brings you to see me?!"

As Jiang Liu surveyed Jumang, the latter, from his superior position, scrutinized Jiang Liu and his group. Eventually, Jumang's gaze settled on Jiang Liu and he asked the question.

He could obviously tell this group was, implicitly, led by Jiang Liu.

"Our purpose here is quite straightforward!" Before Jiang Liu could speak, Sha Wujing stepped forward, taking over the conversation.

"Eh?" Jiang Liu looked at Sha Wujing with some surprise.

Even Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie beside him exchanged puzzled glances, with shocked expressions on their faces.

The ever-silent Sha Wujing, who hardly butted in and followed the principle of speaking as little as possible, was now interrupting his master's conversation?

This was completely unlike his usual behavior.

"Oh? Let's hear it," said Jumang, shifting his attention to Sha Wujing.

Since Jiang Liu did not speak and Sha Wujing did, Jumang naturally treated him as Jiang Liu's spokesperson.

"We've learned that you have a Black Lotus in your possession, and so, we want it!" Sha Wujing got straight to the point, clearly stating their intent.

"You've come for the Black Lotus I possess?!" Hearing Sha Wujing's words, Jumang's expression darkened.

"Isn't this a bit too forthright?" The directness of Sha Wujing's words left Jiang Liu startled.

Although it was known that denizens of the Demon Realm were blunt and straightforward, wasn't this uncharacteristically direct?

"You want it? Well, we'll see what abilities you possess!" Jumang's countenance grew stern as he spoke.

The attitudes and values of those in the Demon Realm and the Mortal World might be nearly opposite, but could he be pleased by others coveting his possessions?

"So, what kind of skill do you want to see!?" Sha Wujing spoke up, then turned to ask Jumang.

"As long as someone among you can beat me, the Black Lotus, I will offer it up with both hands!" Jumang said without hesitation.

During the conversation, his gaze landed on Jiang Liu.

This team was clearly led by Jiang Liu, so in Jumang's view, the most formidable one was undoubtedly Jiang Liu.

"Master, we've settled the matter, there's no need for a melee, just a one-on-one fight, beating him will suffice!" Taking two steps back, Sha Wujing came beside Jiang Liu and said.

"A one-on-one fight, huh? That's an interesting situation!" Hearing Sha Wujing's words, Jiang Liu was slightly moved.

After all, after a few words from Sha Wujing, turning the situation to this point seemed much better than a melee, didn't it?

After all, there were quite a few of the Demon Clan at the Taiyi Realm under Jumang's command.

"Master, I spent some time in the Demon Realm, so I know quite a bit about it too. It's just that our strength doesn't have an overwhelming advantage; otherwise, as soon as we mentioned wanting the Black Lotus, the other party wouldn't even dare to fight back and would have just handed it over to us!"

Seeing the surprised look on Jiang Liu's face, Sha Wujing then said in a low voice.

In a place where the strong are revered, possessing overwhelming power allows one to do whatever they want in the Demon Realm!

Even if you want to snatch other people's treasures, or even their women, you just need to say the word!

Sha Wujing's words made Jiang Liu realize and gain a clearer understanding of the style of the Demon Realm.

As long as it's not about killing, generally, based on the comparison of strength in the Demon Realm, the weaker side will unconditionally submit!

Of course, if the intention is to kill, even if they clearly know they are not powerful enough, they will still resist...

"Wukong, it's up to you!" His thoughts flickered, and with a more direct understanding of the customs of the Demon Realm, Jiang Liu promptly said to Sun Wukong beside him.

Since it was a one-on-one fight, naturally, it was time for Sun Wukong to take action.

A Level 81 golden UI facing off against a Level 83 blue UI—who would win and who would lose? It was hard to say.

"Hehehe, Master, don't worry. Just watch me, Old Sun!" Sun Wukong replied with fighting spirit brimming, nodding as he spoke.

As he spoke, he stepped forward, wielding the Jingu Bang.

"Wukong!?" After hearing the conversation between Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong, a contemplative look flashed across Jumang's brows.

Then, as if realizing something, his face changed slightly, "Wait a second, are you the Scripture Seekers!?"

"Correct! That's us!" Hearing Jumang's surprised words, Jiang Liu nodded his head.

Could it be? The fame of the Journey to the West for Scriptures had spread even to the Demon Realm?

But on reflection, the Journey to the West for Scriptures was an Immeasurable Kalpa, so it seemed logically consistent that people in the Demon Realm would have some understanding of it?

Moreover, beings at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal generally have broad knowledge.

"So it is you all! You've actually come to the Demon Realm again!" Once he understood the identities of Jiang Liu and the others, Jumang's face looked even worse.

Earlier, the Scripture Seekers came once to the Demon Realm, and Yu Hua of the Great Luo Demon Venerables perished, a matter that shook all three realms.

After all, he was the first being of the Great Luo Realm to die in the calamity of the Journey to the West, and naturally, it caused a greater uproar in the Demon Realm.

Who would've thought, the people in front of him were the team of the Journey to the West for Scriptures?

Comparing strengths, Jumang introspectively questioned whether he was comparable to Yu Hua in power.

All the forces from Yu Hua down were almost wiped out, so could his Witch Demon Forest withstand the team of the Journey to the West for Scriptures?

Although he felt shocked in his heart, Jumang soon felt relieved!

Luckily, they had just settled the matter, only agreeing to one-on-one combat. If it were a group attack, the forces of the Witch Demon Forest rushing together would probably end up with a fate not much different from Yu Hua's, right?

In that case, not only would the Black Lotus not be safe, but perhaps all his subordinate powers would be wiped out as well.

"So, are you the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who caused Havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago?" With some relief from the sense of a narrow escape, Jumang's eyes finally rested on Sun Wukong and he spoke up.

Sun Wukong's reputation, he had clearly heard of.

"Indeed, indeed, you Demon Head have some discernment, recognizing I, Old Sun!" Hearing Jumang bringing up the glorious deeds from five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong seemed very pleased, nodding in agreement.

"The Monkey King? That title you've got isn't flattering enough. Looking at your gaunt face and sharp mouth, there's nothing beautiful about it; it's hideous!" However, no sooner had the words left his mouth, Jumang followed up.

"You're courting death!" Initially commending him, then ridiculing his appearance, Sun Wukong's eyes bulged with anger.

"Hold on, big brother, he's praising you!"

But as Sun Wukong's angry demeanor showed, Sha Wujing suddenly spoke up, shouting to Sun Wukong.

"Eh? Right, I almost forgot, in the Demon Realm, calling someone ugly is a compliment, while calling someone beautiful is an insult!"

Sha Wujing's words left Sun Wukong slightly stunned, and soon the angry expression on his face dissipated as he scratched his head.

Although he understood, this so-called complimentary speech still felt very annoying to listen to!
