Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2099 - We're here to help

At this moment, the siege of Jinping City continued, with the Demon Clan's army constantly launching attacks.

The governor led the monks, soldiers, and civilians in a tenacious resistance, placing more lanterns on the city walls.

It was the light emitted by these lanterns that negated over half of the Demon Clan's strength; otherwise, the city wall defenses would have been breached long ago.

Currently, the Demon Clan seems to have a slight advantage, but breaking through the city walls is still difficult.

Moreover, the Demon Clan's losses are indeed significant, with numerous corpses of Demon Clan members piled up beneath the city walls.

"Damn it! This small Jinping City is so difficult to conquer."

"If this continues, with our losses increasing, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through the city walls."

"We must quickly deal with Guanyin; let's go down and provide support."

Seeing the situation, the Wolf Head and the other five Demon Generals were also very anxious. They had gathered such strength, and if the siege failed again, their position within the Demon Clan would be shaken.

Although the five Demon Generals were anxious, they were unable to defeat Guanyin in a short period.

Guanyin also saw this and was doing her best to hold back the five Demon Generals, preventing them from providing support.

The battle entered a stalemate, and under such circumstances, it became a huge competition of attrition.

"Charge! Don't let them cross the city walls!"

The governor shouted orders, but instead of moving forward, he retreated to the rear.

This eunuch governor wasn't a fool; the danger of such a fierce battle on the battlefield was self-evident.

He just wanted to feign performance, but now wasn't the time, so he chose the safety of the rear.

The soldiers and monks were the same; most of these people were cunning and wouldn't risk their lives knowing the danger.

Now, the people of Jinping City were holding the front lines, and their combat power was naturally weaker.

They were able to withstand the Demon Clan, but their casualties were only greater than those of the Demon Clan; fortunately, the population was large.

Tang Seng and the others returned to Jinping City at this time, and Chu Hao was thoughtful as he watched such a fierce battle.

"Act according to our plan; you go and help."

Chu Hao said to Tang Seng and the others after a moment of consideration.

Tang Seng and the others nodded and headed towards the battlefield, preparing to join the fight.

"I'll go help Guanyin; Master, you, Bajie, and Sha Wujing go help that eunuch governor."

Sun Wukong said to Tang Seng.

"Okay."

Sun Wukong said, directly ascending into the sky and heading towards the location where the five Demon Generals and Guanyin were fighting.

The war in Jinping City left Guanyin and the others with no time to care about Tang Seng and the others, so naturally, they didn't know that they had learned the truth about Jinping City.

Seeing Sun Wukong suddenly coming towards her, Guanyin felt very puzzled.

"Wukong, what are you doing here?"

Guanyin asked Sun Wukong in confusion.

Guanyin thought that Sun Wukong was really helping because of the West's performance in Jinping City and his increased goodwill towards the West.

"Bodhisattva, please rest for now; let me deal with them."

Sun Wukong said, wielding his golden cudgel and engaging in battle with the five Demon Generals.

Although Guanyin had been evenly matched with the five Demon Generals, fighting one against five had greatly depleted her physical strength.

She was already noticeably exhausted at this time, and only when she saw Sun Wukong fighting the five Demon Generals did she have a chance to rest.

Below, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing arrived at the governor's location.

"Governor, we are here to help."

Tang Seng said to the governor, wielding his nine-ring锡杖 and preparing to fight the Demon Clan.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also wielded their weapons, pretending to fight the Demon Clan, and charged forward with Tang Seng.

"Thank you, Elders, for your righteous help in protecting the people of my Jinping City."

The governor thought that Tang Seng and the others had really come to help them and immediately thanked them.

However, Tang Seng and the others had no goodwill towards the eunuch governor; they were just causing trouble under the guise of helping.

Tang Seng and the others seemed to be dealing with the Demon Clan, but in a short time, they deliberately knocked over all the lanterns in the city wall area where the governor was.

Without the protection and blessing of these lanterns, the Demon Clan's offensive became even more fierce.

Moreover, under the deliberate guidance of Tang Seng and the others, the Demon Clan's soldiers and generals flocked towards the governor and the monks and soldiers under his command.

Seeing such a change, the governor frowned, secretly thinking that things were going badly.

"Elder Tang, do not knock over the lanterns! Those lanterns are protecting the city walls!"

The governor anxiously shouted to remind Tang Seng and the others.

"Is that so? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Tang Seng said, pretending to be confused, but his hands didn't stop, and he knocked another lantern flying.

"Hold them back! If the Demon Clan enters the city, none of us will be spared!"

The governor had no way to deal with Tang Seng and the others, who were pretending to be confused. Seeing the Demon Clan's soldiers and generals coming towards him, he could only grit his teeth and lead the monks and soldiers to fight again.

"Master, let's knock over the lanterns over there and lure the Demon Clan's soldiers and generals over, so that the eunuch is attacked from both sides. Let's see what he does."

Zhu Bajie suggested to Tang Seng and Sha Wujing.

"That's a good plan. If it weren't for Immortal Chu Hao's arrangement, I would really want to personally smash that eunuch's head."

Tang Seng nodded and took action with Zhu Bajie.

"Master, I'll go lure the Demon Clan's soldiers and generals."

Sha Wujing cooperated with them to lure the Demon Clan, leading a large number of Demon Clan soldiers and generals towards the governor's vicinity.

With the help of Tang Seng and the others, the governor was already surrounded by the Demon Clan, lamenting in his heart.

If this continued, he would probably die at the hands of the Demon Clan sooner or later. He didn't know why this had suddenly happened.

Tang Seng and the others were doing their best to help, while Sun Wukong was having a good time fighting the five Demon Generals.

With Sun Wukong's strength, dealing with these five Demon Generals was not too difficult, but Sun Wukong did not use his full strength.

He was just entangled with the five Demon Generals. After more than a dozen rounds, Sun Wukong pretended to be defeated and flew away.

"Where are you going!"

"Let's chase after him."

"He and Guanyin are in cahoots; we must kill him."

The five Demon Generals immediately chased after Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong's speed was naturally first-class. In a short time, he had run several kilometers.

Seeing the five Demon Generals chasing after him, Sun Wukong did not choose to continue running, but descended downwards.
