At the foot of Mount Ling, we witnessed an extremely strange scene.

The mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the golden-haired vervet, had only half of its head left.

It was rampaging, seemingly going mad.

And Guanyin on its back was also coughing up black blood, her garb stained with filth.

"Tianpeng, help me kill this beast!"

I asked in shock, "What happened to the golden-haired vervet?"

Guanyin's willow branch purification jar shattered, the lotus throne was burned, and the mountain guardian, the Black Bear Spirit, was nowhere to be seen.

"Quick, kill it!"

At this moment, Guanyin's aura was weak, looking disheveled, completely unlike the leader of the seven Buddhas.

As soon as the words fell, the golden-haired vervet actually pounced towards us.

"Master, be careful!"

Guanyin didn't know that our fighting strength was also diminished.

Ever since passing through the Lingyun Crossing and undergoing rebirth, our master had been in a coma.

Half of his body began to swell, with large amounts of skin and flesh falling off. If it weren't for the early death of Lingyun Crossing, the rebirth would have occurred.

The eldest senior brother also started losing his hair, itching all over. One eye turned red and the other eye turned white.

What was even more alarming was that his mouth was filled with fangs.

Only I, Wujing, and the Dragon Horse were in good health.

With the eldest senior brother unwell, I, who could undergo the thirty-six transformations of the Heavenly Generals, represented the peak of the entire team's fighting strength.

I immediately rushed forward to the golden-haired vervet and said, "Old hog, here I come!"

The nine-toothed rake killed the golden-haired vervet, but I discovered that its body was covered in countless small black holes, with its internal cavity already filled with putrid slime.

I felt my scalp tingle!

"You master and disciples, you are late!"

"Bodhisattva, your magical powers are boundless. How come you can't even deal with your own mount?"

Guanyin sighed.

After being rescued, I found that Guanyin's condition was quite serious.

Her head hung low, and she couldn't stand at all after landing.

It seemed that she had suffered extremely severe injuries.

"The entire Mount Ling has changed. The mount's abilities have greatly increased, and the Buddha's powers have declined. At this moment, we need everyone's help..."

Once upon a time, the great powers of the Buddhist gate, who were high and mighty, could manipulate the weather according to their whim. Yet, Guanyin Bodhisattva actually had a day when she had to ask us for help.

At this moment, Guanyin's aura was weak, and the Buddha's light that once enveloped Mount Ling had already disappeared. In my ears, I occasionally heard beast roars and screams.

"Let's divide our luggage and go our separate ways!"

The Monkey King, who previously detested dividing luggage, was the first to suggest disbanding the group on this occasion and going our separate ways.

Jokingly, even when Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't protect herself, Sun Wukong took the opportunity to break free from the control of the Buddhist gate and be free.

"I will accompany Bodhisattva to investigate the situation on Mount Ling!"

"Idiot, if you don't leave now, Cuilan will run away with someone else!" Wukong ridiculed me.

"Eldest senior brother, Master is in a coma, and you are also sick. Throughout this journey, you have been protecting Master and us brothers. This time, it's time for you to rest."

The Monkey King, who was dividing up the luggage, stopped.

"Then you should leave early and return early."

I didn't waste any words either and said directly to Guanyin, "If you can save Mount Ling, Bodhisattva, remove the tight-fitting circlet from the eldest senior brother, return the Dragon Horse's golden scales, and give me and Sand Monk our freedom."

"Agreed! Let the gods and Buddhas in the heavens bear witness!"

Guanyin agreed readily, but the fact proved that Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saved all living beings in distress, couldn't even save herself.
