Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 293: This King is Fake (3rd Update)

Unpleasant!

The King of Black Chicken Country and Jiang Liu each found the other disagreeable.

After all, the King of Black Chicken Country knew his own identity, so knowing that Jiang Liu was no ordinary person, he wished they would leave as soon as possible.

On the other hand? Jiang Liu and his companions naturally found the King of Black Chicken Country unpleasant as well.

Jiang Liu knew from the start that this King of Black Chicken Country was an impostor. As for Sun Wukong and the others? They felt that the king regarded them with disfavor.

Throughout their journey, they had passed through many towns and countries, such as the Treasure Elephant Country, where they had always been received warmly and respectfully. Only this King of Black Chicken Country, who could not bother to serve them even vegetarian meals. It would be strange if Sun Wukong liked him.

"No need, I, Old Sun, have eaten countless delicacies, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, why would I covet your simple vegetarian meal? Since the king does not sincerely welcome us, we naturally will not shamelessly stay!" Sun Wukong bared his teeth and said very impolitely to the King of the Black Chicken Country.

Hearing him say this made it as if they came to scrounge for food and drink. Sun Wukong agreeing to that would be strange indeed.

"Hmph, such a tactless king, to belittle us like this..." Zhu Bajie also spoke up at this time, clearly annoyed.

Although Zhu Bajie often squabbled with Sun Wukong, at this moment, he was on the same front with Sun Wukong.

"You people are audacious!" Although he had just been reprimanded by his own father, being in the grand hall, as the king being spoken to impolitely by some foreigners, the Crown Prince, in his youthful vigor, could not tolerate it and scolded angrily.

The Great Tang? It indeed is the supreme nation of the Heavenly Empire, but what of it? Thousands of miles away from this place, there’s no need to fear them! Were these uninvited guests bullying their way here?

In the grand hall, the civil and military officials all looked at each other and started whispering among themselves.

The civil officials mainly felt that their king indeed lacked in hospitality, thus, they thought the fault lay first with the king.

But the military officials, being more hot-blooded, felt that although the king was in the wrong, these people from the Great Tang were so rude; wasn’t that underestimating the Black Chicken Country?

The military officials all gripped their weapons, awaiting the king’s order to capture these audacious monks in one fell swoop.

"Master, please say less!" Seeing the tense situation between Jiang Liu’s group and the king, General Zhang, who was beside them, implored urgently.

Immediately after, General Zhang lowered his head, and said to the king: "Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang and his companions helped me capture the traitorous General Lu, and even helped our military camp repair over a thousand broken weapons; the Master holds no ill intentions!"

"Hahaha! Traitor!"

However, General Lu, who had been silent beside them, suddenly burst into laughter at this moment, laughing loudly towards the civil and military officials in the grand hall: "Look at what the king has become, is he still the king we know? I thought there was indeed a villain whispering slander into the king’s ear!"

At these words, General Lu slightly paused, then loudly added: "Someone once told me, saying the king is fake, that the real king had been killed by him, and then this Demon person himself turned into the king. I did not believe it at first, but now, it seems there is a seventy percent chance it’s true. You demon! Who exactly are you!? Daring to impersonate our King of the Black Chicken Country!?"

By the end, General Lu’s voice was fierce as he shouted loudly at the King of the Black Chicken Country sitting on the throne!

"What!? Fake!?" When General Lu uttered these words, it was earth-shattering, startling all the civil and military officials in the grand hall.

Of course, the shock was merely from the news itself, as for whether they believed it? It was a matter of opinion.

Some thought that General Lu was talking nonsense, as although the king’s temperament had changed, it hadn’t been for just a year or two, how could he be fake?

Of course, there were also some who took these words seriously, and remembered them, though they were dubious in their hearts.

"Ignorant of imminent death, daring to make such outrageous statements here!" Hearing General Lu’s words, alleging in front of the full court that he was fake, the King of Black Chicken Country was startled and then furiously yelled.

"Guards! Take this traitorous fellow out and behead him!" With a great wave of his hand, the frustrated King of the Black Chicken Country shouted loudly.

Following the king’s command, naturally, several armored warriors quickly came in, dragging General Lu out of the great hall.

The civil and military officials in the grand hall looked at each other, some feeling that the king’s reaction was overly strong, unreasonable, almost like he was trying to cover something up.

Naturally, there were also those who thought that, as the king, being accused by a traitorous person of being fake, it was normal to be furious.

"Wait a moment..." Just as General Lu was about to be dragged away to be executed, Jiang Liu suddenly spoke up, stepped forward, and said to the King of the Black Chicken Country, "This General Lu was captured by me! But his words are not without foundation! I think the king’s identity ought to be verified!"

"Master Xuanzang! How could you!?" Hearing Jiang Liu stand up and speak, General Zhang looked at him incredulously.

After all, whether true or false, wasn’t this a matter for the Black Chicken Country itself? Yet he wanted to get involved, how could that be good?

"Amitabha, I am a monk who delights in helping others!"

Upon hearing General Zhang’s words, Jiang Liu turned his head and said, pausing slightly before continuing, "Therefore, when you asked for help, I did not refuse and took action to capture General Lu!"

"However, General Lu also sought my help. His purpose was to investigate the truth behind the King’s transformation, to see if there really was a treacherous scoundrel by the King’s side. Now it seems that General Lu’s words were not without reason, and I naturally could not ignore his plea for help!"

Jiang Liu’s words clarified his position; after all, he was from the Great Tang, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to meddle in the affair of the real and fake kings of the Black Chicken Country.

But, if someone sought his help, that was a different matter.

"Wukong, your Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze are said to penetrate a Demon’s illusions, aren’t they? Take a look, is this King of the Black Chicken Country real or fake?" As soon as he spoke, Jiang Liu immediately turned to Sun Wukong beside him.

"Hehehe, well now, daring to impersonate the King? I, Old Sun, have never seen an Evil Demon quite so bold. Let I, Old Sun, take a look at what exactly you are!" Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s call, Sun Wukong laughed heartily and said.

During this exchange, Sun Wukong’s eyes emitted a golden light as he looked towards the King of the Black Chicken Country. With his Divine Skills of the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, Sun Wukong immediately saw through the King’s true form.

"Hehehe, so that’s the kind of Evil Demon you are—a Lion Demon!" After casting a glance at the fake King of the Black Chicken Country with his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, Sun Wukong chuckled and said.

"What!? A Lion Demon!?" The words of Sun Wukong caused shock amongst the civil and military officials in the hall, all exchanging incredulous looks, finding it hard to believe.

Of course, not everyone took Sun Wukong’s words seriously; some were still doubtful.

"Swift Fire Bead!" However, Jiang Liu didn’t pay much attention to their reactions. As soon as Sun Wukong revealed the fake King of the Black Chicken Country’s identity, Jiang Liu raised his hand.

A fiery blaze hurled directly towards the King of the Black Chicken Country.

The sudden attack caught the civil and military officials in the hall off guard, making it too late for them to intervene. They could only watch as the fiery blaze smashed toward the King.

Faced with the approaching flame of the Swift Fire Bead, the King of the Black Chicken Country hesitated for a moment and then raised his hand in response, slapping it down!

At this point, the King of the Black Chicken Country also realized he had no choice. If he didn’t respond, he would be attacked, and, left with no other options, he was compelled to act.

Didn’t you see the monkey nearby, raising his Golden Hoop staff as well?

Being a level 60 entity, significantly higher than Jiang Liu, he smashed down his palm, instantly shattering that group of Swift Fire Bead!

"And you still say you’re not an Evil Demon!"

Seeing that the King of the Black Chicken Country had shattered Master Xuanzang’s Spell attack with a slap, an extraordinary feat, General Lu, who was bound nearby, shouted angrily.

"I, I naturally have divine strength!" Upon hearing General Lu’s shout, the King of the Black Chicken Country looked around at all the civil and military officials, who were eyeing him skeptically, and forcefully defended himself.

Naturally, no one was inclined to believe his words at that point.

Sun Wukong grinned, leapt into the air, and charged directly towards the King of the Black Chicken Country.

By then, the King of the Black Chicken Country also realized that his explanations were futile. Seeing Sun Wukong attacking him, he could only turn and flee for his life.

"Think you can escape!?" However, seeing the King of the Black Chicken Country start to flee, Jiang Liu secretly chuckled and promptly pointed his finger, activating the Sheep Transformation Technique.

Baa!

Under the effect of the Sheep Transformation Technique, the King of the Black Chicken Country instantly turned into a harmless little lamb, bleating confusedly.

The Golden Hoop staff came crashing down, and with one blow, the health bar over the King of the Black Chicken Country’s head was instantly emptied, plunging him into a critically injured and coma state.

In front of Sun Wukong, a mere Lion Demon of the Demon King Realm was naturally obliterated in one move.

Alert: Gained Experience Points 2520.

As soon as Sun Wukong’s staff came down, the game’s prompt sounded.

Since only the Sheep Transformation Technique was executed, the assist contribution wasn’t significant, thus yielding only over 2000 Experience Points.

"Wukong, check if that Crown Prince is really genuine!" Seeing that everyone’s attention was captured by the situation, Jiang Liu immediately followed up.
