Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

```

Upon hearing this title, whether they were demons or deities, everyone immediately stood up, looked up, and respectfully greeted the person flying towards them from the horizon, saying, "We pay our respects, True Lord!"

In the distance, a man wearing silver armor, accompanied by a disdainful, overbearing black dog at his side, was approaching by Riding Clouds and Mist.

Yang Jian nodded slightly, "Everyone, today marks the Great Sage Equalling Heaven's joyous occasion. I have come to offer congratulations; there is no need for excessive formalities."

Just as Yang Jian was about to land, a bald man approached him, reaching out to help with the dog's leash. Yang Jian reflexively thought this to be one of the door attendants, so he handed over the leash.

Before he could realize what was happening, the bald man turned around and shouted, "True Lord of Pure Origin and Mystical Tao presents a black meat dog! Wujing, get the fire going, heat the pot, we're cooking dog meat!"

Yang Jian was instantly dumbfounded!

Turning his head, he saw the Celestial Dog being dragged away by the bald man, its paws desperately clawing at the ground, gouging out four trenches as the dog opened its mouth wide and howled, "Second Master, save me!"

However, the very next moment, a large hand clamped shut its mouth, and, regardless of its struggles, tied it up like a retracted turtle and carried it off.

It was only then that Yang Jian snapped back to reality and shouted angrily, "Stop!"

But the bald man acted as if he hadn't heard, merrily heading toward a large black cauldron, all the while yelling, "Last time I missed out on beef and dog meat, this time let's have a mixed stew! Hahaha..."

Only then did Yang Jian get a good look at the bald man's face. After a careful comparison, his heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the bald thief that the Celestial Dog had mentioned?

"Tang Sanzang, stop right there, that's my dog!" Yang Jian quickly followed, trying to grab the bald man.

Tang Sanzang turned around and glanced at him, "I know it's your dog, but since it has come into my hands, it counts as a gift now. Now it's mine, and soon it will belong to everyone. If you really want it, how about I share a dog leg with you later?"

"Wu wu wu…" The Celestial Dog was frantically barking, and when it found that it could not make a sound, it shouted through Divine Sense, "Second Master, please save me, this monk really eats dogs!"

Yang Jian glared fiercely at Tang Sanzang and said, "Tang Sanzang! Don't go too far!"

Tang Sanzang smiled widely, "Am I the one going too far? When you fought with my disciple Sun Wukong back then, didn't you bring this dog along for a two-on-one fight? You didn't say it was going too far when it was two people and one dog against one of my monkeys. Oh wait, there was also an old chap who intervened; it was two people and a dog bullying one of my monkeys. How come you didn't think it was excessive then?"

Yang Jian instantly realized that the bald man wasn't mistaken, but was deliberately causing trouble.

In the distance, Sun Wukong's eyes reddened with emotion, realizing that his master wasn't causing a scene for no reason but had taken the opportunity to stand up for him.

Yang Jian laughed heartily, "Tang Sanzang, so it seems you think it was unfair? Then you tell me, how would you like to settle this?"

Tang Sanzang replied, "Another fight."

Yang Jian snorted with laughter, "The outcome of the fight was already determined back then. It's just that Sun Wukong was indeed tough to handle, and I couldn't overcome him right away.

The Celestial Dog and Laojun's intervention were merely meant to end the battle swiftly, to avoid wasting time.

Moreover, the Celestial Dog is my battle companion, and a battle companion is part of one's strength, so its participation isn't against the rules, right?

Of course, Laojun's intervention was unexpected.

But since you are not convinced, then another battle it shall be!

But I can assure you, not just one more battle, even ten or a hundred battles wouldn't change the outcome of that day!"

Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, he seems to be implying that you are not his equal."

```

Sun Wukong spat disdainfully, "If no one had ambushed me, why would I ever fear this guy!"

Yang Jian laughed heartily, "Words are of no use, monkey, this time I'm not bringing the Howling Celestial Dog, do you dare to fight again?"

Sun Wukong stepped forward and said, "What is there to fear?"

But Tang Sanzang shook his head and said, "No, no, no, this time we can't fight like we did last time."

"Then how do you want to fight?" Yang Jian asked.

Tang Sanzang replied, "I feel that what you said about bringing pets into battle truly isn't against the rules."

Yang Jian was taken aback, not expecting the bald one to actually speak in his favor...

Tang Sanzang continued, "So, this battle will still involve each side bringing their pets into combat."

Yang Jian glanced at the Howling Celestial Dog, then suspiciously looked toward Sun Wukong, thinking to himself, does this guy have a pet too?

Sun Wukong was also utterly confused. Pets? Where did he get a pet from?

While the two of them were dumbfounded, Tang Sanzang grabbed the Six-Eared Macaque and said with a laugh, "This is Wukong's pet; he usually performs feats like shattering rocks on his chest and stabbing throats with a spear, helping us earn some extra money. What do you say, no objections, right?"

When Sun Wukong saw the Six-Eared Macaque, he was immediately at a loss for words.

He had tested the Six-Eared Macaque's combat abilities; they were on par with his own, but what was crucial was that the macaque's Innate Divine Ability was terrifying. It could listen in on and replicate the secrets of his opponent's divine skills on the spot, with nearly identical power and in every aspect.

This was no pet, it was like assigning him a godfather!

Sun Wukong looked at the smiling, bald one, who seemed the picture of innocence, and he understood. This guy wasn't trying to let him prove that his strength was no less than Yang Jian's, he wanted him to give Yang Jian a good thrashing!

"Indeed, I am still too young. My master's darkness is like that of a night without lamps!" As Sun Wukong inwardly offered a wry smile, his face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly, "My pet, is it satisfactory?"

Yang Jian took a glance at the Six-Eared Macaque, but alas, he couldn't see anything special about this monkey.

There was no helping it, the macaque's art of transformation was so masterful that not even Guanyin, the Demon-Revealing Mirror, nor the treasures of heaven and earth could distinguish it, let alone Yang Jian who hadn't opened his Celestial Eye...

Thus, Yang Jian said with a smile, "As long as you don't mind this monkey getting beaten to death later, I have no objections."

Sun Wukong clapped his hands together, "Then I have no objections either. Master, give that dog back to him."

Without a second word, Tang Sanzang released the Howling Celestial Dog, who immediately ran to Yang Jian's side, spouting curses, "You dead..."

Before he could finish calling him bald, Tang Sanzang tilted his head, a flash of chill in his eyes.

The word "bald" that was at the tip of the Howling Celestial Dog's tongue was quickly swallowed back, changing to, "You dead handsome, dead handsome monk, you better prepare your coffin, your monkey is as good as dead!"

Tang Sanzang stroked his chin and said, "Wukong, beat this dog to death for me, today I must taste dog meat no matter what!"

Sun Wukong grinned and said, "Don't worry, master, you shall eat your fill today!"

The Howling Celestial Dog retorted angrily, "Sun Wukong, don't be arrogant, last time I could bite your leg, this time I can go for your crotch!"
