In the eastern part of The Wilderness, on the eastern side of the Western Cattle Hezhou, atop a mountain, Tang Sanzang and Jia?nglo?ng were squatting there chatting about something.

    "Elder Tang, you''re not really planning to continue traveling west, are you?" Jia?nglo?ng asked.

    Tang Sanzang looked toward the west, wiping his drool, "All those aged ingredients just lying there wasted... No, Amitabha, this poor monk intends to convert and save some ferocious beasts and old demons."

    Jia?nglo?ng chuckled, "I''d believe in ghosts before I believe that..."

    "By the way, what was that thing you mentioned before with the white head?" Tang Sanzang asked.

    Jia?nglo?ng said, "The White-headed Eagle Demon, an old demon with a head full of white hair, not so strong, but really fast at running away."

    Tang Sanzang took out a small notebook and silently wrote a few words.

    Jia?nglo?ng leaned in for a look and saw clearly written on the notebook: White-headed Eagle Demon, braised, extra spicy, less garlic...

    Jia?nglo?ng was speechless, is this what you call converting? This is digestion, right?

    However, Jia?nglo?ng did not mention that the White-headed Eagle Demon was already dead, at least as far as he was concerned, it was.

    As they were speaking, a figure descended from the sky, "Master, your disciple Sun Wukong is back! I''ve come to greet you!"

    Sun Wukong landed and immediately greeted him.

    Tang Sanzang said, "Wukong, no need to be so formal."

    Just as Sun Wukong was about to say something, he heard Tang Sanzang say, "It''s been a while, why don''t you perform some tricks for your master... I''ve really missed seeing you perform."

    Sun Wukong: "#@..."

    Sun Wukong took a deep breath and said, "Master, I have no problem performing, but we don''t have a gong!"

    Just then, a loud shout came, "Big brother, you need a gong? I have one!"

    In the midst of speaking, Sha Wujing descended from the sky and skillfully pulled out a gong from the basket on his back to hand to Sun Wukong.

    Sun Wukong looked at the gong, then looked at the sincerely-faced Sha Wujing and said through gritted teeth, "Thanks a lot, Sha!"

    Sha Wujing grinned broadly, "Big brother, don''t mention it. But what do you need a gong for?"

    Only Tang Sanzang clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Great idea! Let''s do it!"

    And so, a bizarre scene unfolded on the road westward, a bald man riding a white horse, with a burly man beside him holding a roasted suckling pig, occasionally slicing off a couple of pieces to feed the bald man.

    A pig with a dark face played the gong beside them, while two monkeys danced ahead, seemingly doing who knows what...

    At that moment, Tang Sanzang turned to the Conqueror and asked, "Would you like to join our big family?"

    The Conqueror shivered immediately upon hearing this, looking at Tang Sanzang''s disciples, each turned into what sort of mess!

    He quickly said, "Ah, Elder Tang, I just remembered, I left in such a hurry that I forgot to collect my clothes. I''ll take my leave now, and invite you for dog meat later!"

    Saying this, the Conqueror took off running!

    At that instant, Sun Wukong, the Six-Eared Macaque, Zhu Ganglie, and the White Dragon Horse all sent envious glances his way.

    "What are you all looking at? Hurry up and move!" Tang Sanzang urged.

    The group, having no choice, continued forward.

    Meanwhile, the White Eagle Demon had already run a million miles away to the front of a mountain distinguished by its defined seasons. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards the mountain, saying, "Your humble servant greets the Guardian of this place!"

    A surge of demon clouds tumbled, and a mighty voice resounded, "Little demon, you are not one of the Three Savage Gods'' lineage, you''ve crossed the boundary!"

    As the voice spoke, a giant saber appeared out of thin air, slashing directly towards the White Eagle Demon.

    The White Eagle Demon trembled all over, but still shouted, "I came to bring you news! Everyone guarding the frontier of The Wilderness is dead!"

    Crack!

    The giant saber stopped less than a millimeter from the White Eagle Demon''s face, he could even feel the chilling murderous aura emanating from the blade!

    "Everyone''s dead? What happened there, and why are you still alive?" the demon clouds gathered, forming a snake-headed warrior clad in armor, wielding a long saber.

    The White Eagle Demon quickly explained, "From the east... a monk came from the east, and as soon as he entered The Wilderness, he started slaughtering wildly. All your subordinates guarding the frontier there... they were obliterated!"

    "Is this true?" the snake-headed general asked.

    The White Eagle Demon said, "If there''s a single lie in my words, may thunder strike me down!"

    The snake-headed general became furious, a wave of his hand caused thunder to roll across the mountain, followed by a mighty army of demon snakes charging down.
