Actually, at this moment, the remaining disciples of Ling Shan, even if they appear normal, are probably infected by Dao worms and will eventually turn into mindless monsters.

"Let's fight our way out together," Maitreya said, then directly activated the Buddha light on his body, dispersing the dense black mist.

This time went smoothly. After Maitreya attracted countless black mists with his Buddha light, the gate of Thunder Sound Monastery opened.

We exited through the gate.

Before leaving, I glanced at the corner where Wen Shu and the others were once trapped.

There, it was already pitch black, and I didn't hear any sound anymore.

I carried the pitchfork covered in black blood and escorted Master and the others out of Thunder Sound Monastery.

We returned to the foot of the mountain.

And at this moment, we all noticed that Master's condition had worsened.

His face was pale, and his skin began to decay.

Fortunately, he had undergone a rebirth in Ling Yun Crossing, otherwise, he would have died long ago.

Wu Jing wiped Master's sweat with the handkerchief given by Queen Xi Liang.

I wonder if Queen Xi Liang, seeing Master's miserable appearance now, would still hand over the kingdom to him.

Sun Wukong had severe hair loss and had become a bald, skinny, lazy monkey, constantly rubbing against the Golden Cudgel.

"Why hasn't Maitreya Bodhisattva returned yet?" Master asked.

I shook my head, "He said he went to the Heavenly Court to request reinforcements. It should take about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"With his speed, he's slower than my somersault cloud!"

Monkey suddenly became spirited. Taunting others was his specialty.

When it came to the Heavenly Court, which department to go to and who to find, Monkey was familiar with the place and knew exactly where to go!

"I want to bring a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers from the Heavenly Court and wipe out these filthy creatures from Ling Shan!"

In Monkey's eyes at this moment, the Buddhas of Ling Shan were nothing more than savage monsters that needed to be killed completely.

Killing was Monkey's favorite thing to do.

Others may not know, but I do. When Monkey was a monster in Flower Fruit Mountain, he would eat people every day.

He would wipe out an entire country and eat its people at the drop of a hat. If someone regarded Monkey as a good person, death was not far away for them.

I looked at Master and Monkey, their conditions worsening, and I felt anxious.

Sha, Junior Brother, couldn't help but say, "Second Senior Brother, waiting like this won't work. I'm afraid Master and Monkey have also been contaminated by Dao worms. It's hopeless to rely on Ling Shan. We'd better go find the Jade Emperor."

"Let's go find the Jade Emperor."

We were about to take off when we saw auspicious clouds covering the sky, radiating purple light.

It turned out that the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers from the Heavenly Court had already arrived.

Before I could feel relieved, I heard a loud roar from the sky, "The Jade Emperor has issued an order that Ling Shan has been contaminated, and no immortals or Buddhas are allowed to enter or leave!"

I was startled, feeling that things were not looking good.

Staring at the immortals above the clouds, I said loudly, "Please inform the Jade Emperor that we, the five disciples, are here to journey to the Western Heaven and have no connection with the Buddhas of Ling Shan. Please have the heavenly soldiers lift the blockade and let us leave."

At this moment, an unexpected voice delivered a heavy blow to us:

"Heavenly generals, it is likely that these four disciples and the dragon-horse have also been infected. No survivors should be left!"
