"Kua Fu?"

Soon, Sun Wukong learned that the dimness of the sky was due to Kua Fu plucking the sun.

"How could it be him?"

Sun Wukong felt curious. It hadn't been long since Immortal Zhenyuan left, and no matter how effective those herbal medicines were, they couldn't have possibly restored Kua Fu's knees to their original state instantly.

Not to mention his being able to run off and pluck the sun.

"Is this really true?"

He confirmed once again.

"Absolutely true."

The Moon Immortal replied, "Someone saw Kua Fu, with his face flushed red, running madly and even drinking up the water from two rivers!"

"Flushed red face?"

Sun Wukong found this situation odd.

He decided to return to the Northern Wilderness to check, and the Moon Immortal, who admired the Tao, voluntarily followed behind.

Deep in the wilderness, the Giants were singing and dancing merrily.

"Clan Leader has plucked the sun!"

"We can now go about our business normally!"

The Giants cheered, their excitement clearly visible on their faces.

As Sun Wukong and his companion approached, the Giants immediately came forward to greet them.

"Immortal, welcome back!"

They said joyfully, "Your herbal medicine really works wonders, our Clan Leader recovered in just half a day!"

"Half a day?"

Sun Wukong frowned, "Where is Immortal Zhenyuan?"

"The Immortal went out with the Clan Leader."

The Giants answered, "They'll bring back the sun shortly."

However, they waited half a day and no one returned.

The Giants grew impatient.

"Why hasn't the Clan Leader returned yet?"

"Could something have gone wrong again?"

Having experienced a previous mishap, the Giants reacted quickly, immediately sending people to search for Kua Fu.

Sun Wukong also instructed the Moon Immortal to help.

The Moon Immortal arranged it, and soon a painting was sent back.

"Immortal, take a look, is this the person you're looking for?"

The Moon Immortal handed the painting to Sun Wukong.

Upon looking at the painting, Sun Wukong saw a group of crab soldiers and generals roasting Immortal Zhenyuan.

Immortal Zhenyuan was tied to a post, with a fire lit below him.

Sun Wukong was stunned.

"Where did this painting come from?"

He asked the Moon Immortal.

"One of my junior sisters painted it."

The Moon Immortal replied, "She saw it happening and immediately painted it."

"And now..."

Sun Wukong had a bad premonition.

The Moon Immortal nodded, "By now, he's likely already roasted."

Sun Wukong's expression grew cold, he asked for directions, promptly grabbed the Moon Immortal, and hastened over on a Somersault Cloud.

Meanwhile, Immortal Zhenyuan, tied to the post, was struggling with the fire.

"Add more wood, continue, don't stop!"

Two old men stood nearby, commanding the crab soldiers and generals to add more wood while holding two Fire Gourds, constantly emitting fire towards the outside.

The fire from the Magical Treasures ignited the wood, enveloping Immortal Zhenyuan.

"I don't believe he won't burn to death this way!"

The two old men watched the blaze with anger in their eyes.

Immortal Zhenyuan, tied to the post, was in deep misery.

He protected his body with his immortal power, but it was nearly at its limit.

"This is such a disgraceful way to die!"

Immortal Zhenyuan was also furious inside.

The Ancestor of Earth Immortals had never suffered such humiliation.

If he were to be burned to death by crab soldiers and generals, how could he face the immortals of the Three Realms in the future?

"No, I must find a way to escape!"

Immortal Zhenyuan thought this and suddenly saw familiar golden light descending from the sky.

"Junior brother!"

His expression brightened: "Quick, save me!"

Sun Wukong landed and without a moment's hesitation, reached out and rescued Immortal Zhenyuan from the flames.

"How did you end up like this?"

Sun Wukong helped Immortal Zhenyuan up and asked.

"Never mind that."

While patting off the flames on his body, Immortal Zhenyuan said, "I was chasing the sun with Kua Fu, he drank up two rivers then betrayed me, leaving me here, where I was captured by these two River Gods."

"River Gods?"

Sun Wukong looked at the two holding Fire Gourds, his brow slightly furrowed: "There's something strange about this."

"That Kua Fu also acted strangely, as if someone was secretly instructing him."

Immortal Zhenyuan said, his voice deepening: "I will make them pay back double for this humiliation."

His belly was full of anger.

"Junior brother, can you think of a way to quickly restore my immortal power."

Immortal Zhenyuan asked.

As long as he could restore the immortal power he had before the great calamity, he wouldn't have to endure this indignity.

"There's no rush for that now."

Sun Wukong looked around; they had been surrounded by shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

"The two..."

Moon Immortal was speaking with the two River Gods in front.

They all knew Moon Immortal, but filled with rage, they weren't inclined towards granting any favors.

"Moon Immortal, we can't let this go easily!"

"This person accompanied Kua Fu; they drank up all the water in our rivers, no creature in the river can survive, how can this end well!"

They didn't want to let Immortal Zhenyuan go.

Moon Immortal turned around, a troubled look on his face as he looked at Sun Wukong.

"If it's about the river water, I have a solution."

Sun Wukong stepped forward and said, "I can summon wind and rain to fill the rivers."

When he said this, not only Moon Immortal and the two River Gods were taken aback, even Immortal Zhenyuan was surprised.

"Junior brother, you can still summon wind and rain here?"

In his eyes was disbelief.

This place was not the Three Realms, there is no Heavenly Palace, nor any immortal positions here, and the technique of summoning wind and rain usually requires commanding lesser immortals; without the Wind God and Thunder Lord, it would be impossible.

"That's right, a dragon could also do it!"

Immortal Zhenyuan realized, "Did you bring that White Dragon?"

"No need for that trouble."

Sun Wukong shook his head, his method of summoning wind and rain did not need such complications.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Sun Wukong pulled out a monkey hair from his body.

"Go!"

He blew on the monkey hair, and it transformed into a Giant Dragon that circled around before flying into the sky.

Soon after, a loud thunderclap sounded and the sky changed color as a fierce storm abruptly descended.

The violent rain fell into the dried-up riverbeds under the astonished eyes of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, as the river water began to visibly rise.

In no time, the water level reached two feet deep, and the fish and crabs in the river started to jump for joy.

The two River Gods joyfully put away their Fire Gourds.

Once the rain stopped, Moon Immortal led them to Sun Wukong.

"We were offensive just now, please forgive us, Immortal."

The two River Gods bowed respectfully to Sun Wukong.

Their voices carried respect, and their attitude towards Sun Wukong had completely changed.

Being River Gods, they could appreciate the feats Sun Wukong managed—something they themselves couldn't achieve so effortlessly.

Sun Wukong accepted their thanks and asked, "Is this water enough?"

"For the short term, it will suffice."

The River Gods replied, "But if the sun isn't retrieved, soon all rivers everywhere might freeze, and we too cannot escape a doomed fate."

Sun Wukong frowned slightly; it seemed the root of the problem was still the sun.

"Where did Kua Fu take the sun?"

He asked Immortal Zhenyuan.

"I don't know."

Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head: "I only saw him running southward."
