Ever since the ordeal at Hao Mountain, Tang Sanzang and his disciples had experienced a remarkably smooth journey.
Along the way, let alone formidable demons who claimed territories as kings, even lesser spirits that had only recently gained sentience avoided them like the plague. After all, walls have ears, and by now everyone knew that the rumor about attaining immortality by eating the monk's flesh was nothing more than a sham. While some demons might not be the sharpest tools in the shed, that didn't mean they were complete fools. Having finally attained spiritual awareness and embarked on the demonic path, who would throw away their life for a mere mouthful of meat?
