"Eldest Brother, come on now, Second Brother and I really did our best. Who knew a freak wind would snatch Master away? Besides, we've gone through so much to get here, how can we quit halfway?"

Sun Wukong was actually just complaining and didn't really mean to split up. Seeing the honest one took it seriously, he took the opportunity to step down.

"Ah, I underestimated that demon. The child on his back weighed just three or four pounds, I thought it was just a little monster."

"Don't worry, I'll first call upon this disciple to ask about the demon's background."

After saying that, he tapped his staff on the ground twice, and a Mountain God appeared looking rather embarrassed.

"Little Immortal, pays respects to Great Sage, pays respects to Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian."

This Mountain God sure knows the ways of the world!

Sun Wukong didn't bother with courtesy and directly asked, "What kind of demon is on this mountain? Took away my Master?"

The Earth God quickly told everything he knew to Sun Wukong and his brothers. Upon hearing that it was the son of his sworn brother the Bull Demon King, Sun Wukong couldn't help but show a joyful expression.

"This demon is actually my nephew, rest assured, rest assured, Master will surely be safe!"

Zhu Bajie, known to be the most socially savvy among them, immediately pouted and retorted, "Big Brother, your sworn brotherhood with the Bull Demon King was five hundred years ago. How much friendship is left? That Red Boy might not even recognize your name."

But Sun Wukong didn't think so. His Great Sage Equaling Heaven title was given by his big brother, who's a real cultured figure with impeccable family teaching!

"How could that be? Brother Sha, you take care of the luggage, I'll go with Bajie and make sure to bring Master back."

Sha Wujing, knowing his own capabilities, immediately nodded in agreement.

Bajie secretly lamented that this demon didn't sound like an easy opponent.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie arrived in front of Fire Cloud Cave, with Bajie keeping watch on the formation while Sun Wukong stepped forward to challenge. Before long, a lineup of extraordinarily flashy, uniquely designed 'chariots' emerged from Fire Cloud Cave, followed by rows of children. Lastly, a little boy emerged holding a Fire-tipped Spear, wearing a red belly wrap, Lotus Pants, clad in a black and red cloak, looking very smug.

Sun Wukong was a bit tongue-tied. How could a little punk have an entrance flashier than me, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?

Now in a monk's robe, with just a stick in hand, his imposing aura felt somehow diminished.

But he remembered this was his big nephew, so Sun Wukong immediately regained his spirit.

"Nephew, do you know who I am?"

Red Boy rolled his eyes. Aren't you just a stinky monkey? What else could you be, a Jade Emperor or something?

Seeing Red Boy's disdainful face, Sun Wukong immediately puffed up, "I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who stirred up the Heaven Palace five hundred years ago, a sworn brother to your father, the Bull Demon King, so calling you nephew is only right."

"My dear nephew, why don't you release my Master and then treat us hospitably before seeing us off to the west."

At first Red Boy only wanted to make things difficult for Jin Can Zi, having no particular thoughts about Sun Wukong. However, upon hearing the claim of brotherhood with his dad, he perked up and looked at the monkey.

The more he looked, the poorer the monkey seemed, save for the stick that deserved at most one extra glance. Just one glance, really. After all, Red Boy grew up like a star among the Immortals on Lingshan.

Grandpa Buddha was truly like his own grandpa. He'd seen and played with all sorts of treasures.

Nezha himself, although never a real father figure, had an image of strength, wealth, and omnipotence in Red Boy's heart.

Even though he had a small quarrel with Nezha, he still very much respected him.

Now this monkey looked so shabby—penniless, uncultivated, earthy—why should he even be sworn brothers with his dad?

"Ha, you?"

Derision, blatant derision. Sun Wukong had only seen this kind of high-and-mighty attitude on other Immortals' faces when he was still the Horses' Fortune.

What was the root cause of Sun Wukong stirring up Heaven Palace back then? Was it not because he could no longer endure such a condescending attitude?

If I become the Jade Emperor, no one would ever look down on me again!

Hmm, the thought was rather straightforward.

Now, Red Boy's arrogant gaze pierced him again. He had initially thought of holding back if they fought, but immediately changed his mind.

Naughty kids need a good lesson!

There's nothing much left to say, the two started fighting directly. Red Boy admired Nezha immensely, so he chose a spear as his weapon. Sun Wukong wielded his stick, and they engaged in combat.

Though Sun Wukong had a shorter cultivation time, he had been through tough battles since birth; no chance of someone indulging the Monkey. If the Monkey were really weak, he wouldn't have made it past Yang Jian.

Red Boy was different. He was pampered by Lady Yin, the only tough challenge he faced was provoking Jin Can Zi and being beaten back home crying.

No matter how heavy Jin Can Zi's hand was, he was still the grandson of his own teacher and a playmate since birth, how heavy could it be?

So in terms of martial arts alone, Red Boy was not a match for Sun Wukong.

Despite his pride, Red Boy didn't mind since he was spoiled from a young age, developing a character that wouldn't easily concede. If martial arts didn't stack up, he'd compete on divine skills.

Though he didn't bring his Magical Treasures out of rebelliousness when he left home, he still had a few 'toys' with him.

Once again, he used his spear to parry Sun Wukong's stick, then quickly retreated. Stowing away the Fire-tipped Spear, he made a hand sign, and the Five Element Array Patterns on the flame chariot behind him lit up.

Five small chariots charged out with mechanical roars, forming an array that encircled Sun Wukong in the center. Red Boy rubbed his nose and opened his mouth, spewing out Samadhi True Fire.

To prevent Red Boy's character from becoming tainted by the Blood Sea, Nezha and others always focused him on fire-element divine powers. Coupled with ample resources, Red Boy's divine power was extraordinarily formidable.

The Samadhi True Fire instantly ignited the five vehicles forming the Five Elements Formation. The Five Elements, infected by the True Fire, completely converted into the Fire Element, scorching Sun Wukong.

With Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Sun Wukong was Vajra indestructible, but that was a physical defense; his flesh was still susceptible to Magic Powers. However, Master Puti once taught him the method to Avoiding Three Disasters.

He made a Fire Avoidance Technique hand sign, and in a flash, the scorching Samadhi True Fire became completely ineffective against him. Products of the Saints, must be high-quality.

Sun Wukong leaped to break through the array, but Red Boy wouldn't let him go so easily. He mimicked Nezha's imposing manner, making a hand sign and shouting loudly, "Explode!"

The five costly Five Vehicles exploded simultaneously. Sun Wukong hadn't expected Red Boy to be so destructive, the little chariots he considered treasures were blown up just like that.

Taken by surprise, he suffered a few injuries and retreated in embarrassment.

Driving Sun Wukong away made Red Boy very content. They were just a few chariots; wouldn't begging his grandma later get him whatever he wanted?

He actually had no intention to harm Sun Wukong; he only wanted to teach him a lesson. Yet, he realized in a skirmish that he was no match and thus detonated the chariots. Otherwise, he possessed something truly desperate, and if he used it against Sun Wukong, who knows how it would turn out.

Seeing Sun Wukong retreat, he joyfully returned to the cave to continue enjoying Jin Can Zi's embarrassed look. Many times he'd been brought to tears—not beaten—but defeated!

The grudge from multiple defeats was finally avenged!

What his dad said was absolutely right: Three hundred years east of the river, three hundred years west of the river, never underestimate a poor baby!

Thinking about his dad, Red Boy couldn't help but sigh. Decades had passed without a visit to his mother—a real worry-causing character. Is this what they call marital discord?

He heard that after a harmonious separation, the woman could get half the man's assets. With that, his mother and he could surely live well. But when that time comes, who should he follow?

While Red Boy was pondering his parents' emotional affairs, Sun Wukong was already far away from Fire Cloud Cave with Bajie leading him away.

This big nephew of his truly surprised him, the little uncle. Who on earth did he learn the self-destructing Magical Treasure move from?
