Ran Deng, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra returned to the Yuanjue Cave at Lingjiu Mountain.
Meanwhile, Demon King Pishacha along with many other demonic experts and Asura warriors like Youyu were arranged by him into the twenty-four Heavenly Realms transformed from the Ocean-Calming Divine Pearl.
At this moment, the three of them were seated in meditation within the Yuanjue Cave.
"How did you come to be in the company of Ksitigarbha, and happen upon this affair," Ran Deng asked.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra exchanged glances, both understanding what Ran Deng was suspecting.
"Ancient Buddha, it was on a whim that we went to Hell a while ago to seek Ksitigarbha for a discussion on Buddhist Law," Manjushri said.
"Encountering Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Asura Realm was truly unexpected," Samantabhadra added.
"Unexpected, huh?" Ran Deng frowned but did not pursue the question further since he knew who had schemed against him this time.
