Chapter 36

The All-Knowing and All-Powerful God showed off his skills, making Old Gao ecstatic, but to Tang Sen and his group, it was nothing special.

With Tang Sen's current strength, he could easily lift things like sofas and coffee tables. He still carried a celestial sword on his back, weighing 430 catties. Just this sword was no lighter than the coffee table, and he walked around every day without feeling tired.

Sun Wukong whispered with a smile, "Is this guy just performing a circus act?"

Tang Sen whispered back, "Don't look down on him too much. For a human, he's quite strong."

Sun Wukong covered her mouth and giggled, "He can only compare with ordinary people. Any old monk or Taoist from a remote mountain would be stronger than him."

At this moment, Old Gao had made up his mind. Although the cult was despicable, he had no choice but to seek their help in desperation. For his daughter's safety, he had to deal with the cult. He bowed to the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God, "Please, sir, save my poor daughter quickly. She has been held captive by a monster for half a year, and as her father, I am truly worried."

"Of course, that's why I'm here," the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God replied solemnly, but he cast a contemptuous glance at Tang Sen and sneered, "Have you seen the power of this seat? Young man, you're just a petty trickster who deceives people for money and pleasure. Your skills are shallow. When you meet someone like me, a true master, you should admit defeat. Don't get involved in this matter, or you'll risk your life."

Tang Sen smiled but said nothing. He whispered to Sun Wukong, "Use your Fire Eyes to check the demonic aura on the top floor. If the aura is strong and the demon is powerful, we won't rush in. Let this guy take the lead and test the demon's strength. If the aura is weak and easy to handle, we'll take the lead."

Sun Wukong's eyelids glowed with a golden light as she looked up. She whispered in his ear, "The demonic aura on the top floor is extremely strong. It's definitely a powerful demon. This mere cult leader is just asking for trouble."

Hearing this, Tang Sen's smile became even more confident. He gestured with a "please" motion, "Mr. All-Knowing and All-Powerful God, since you are so powerful, please go ahead and subdue the demon. I'll cheer you on from here."

Old Gao's face turned red. After all, Tang Sen had been invited to exorcise the demon. Logically, Tang Sen should go first, and the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God should follow. Now, the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God was cutting in line, and as the host, Old Gao couldn't ignore Tang Sen's feelings. He asked tentatively, "Master Tang Sen, if you have any skills to exorcise the demon, why don't you show them? We can discuss further..."

Tang Sen smiled, "No need. I came to save your daughter, not to compete. Whoever saves her is fine. If this Mr. God can succeed, it will be a great blessing."

The All-Knowing and All-Powerful God was taken aback, thinking Tang Sen would show off his skills and compete. He didn't expect such an easy concession. This young man must be weak and afraid to challenge him. He put on a smug look, "You're quite sensible, young man."

Tang Sen wasn't annoyed. These charlatans had thick skins, and arguing with them was pointless. He smiled and watched the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God lead his disciples up the stairs.

Old Gao followed nervously.

"Let's go and see," Tang Sen's expression suddenly turned serious. "Observe the demon's strength. Knowing your enemy and yourself ensures victory. I was thinking of how to test her strength, but now this cult leader is helping us. He's like Song Gongming, a timely rain."

"Who is Song Gongming? If you compare him to that, he might get angry," Xiaobailong whispered.

"Hey, weren't you educated as a noble lady? Haven't you read 'Water Margin'?" Tang Sen was sweating.

"Father said, 'Young people shouldn't read 'Water Margin,' and old people shouldn't read 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms.' I'm still young, so I don't read 'Water Margin,'" Xiaobailong said, suddenly a bit sad. "I miss Father. I wonder if he's doing well."

"Hey, don't worry. Come on, let's go see the show." Tang Sen took Xiaobailong's hand and walked towards the stairs. As a noble lady, Xiaobailong had never been held by a man. She was startled and tried to pull away, but seeing Tang Sen's serious expression, she thought, "Brother Tang Sen is a gentleman. I was just overthinking it."

So she let him hold her hand.

The group reached the top floor, which looked different from a regular building. It was a large greenhouse with a glass roof, filled with crops and plants. In the middle stood a small wooden house. Old Gao pointed to it from a distance, "That small house is my daughter's room. The demon has taken over it and kept my daughter captive. My poor daughter has been locked up for half a year... I'm so worried... Oh, by the way, my daughter is a shut-in. She never goes out even if she's not held captive."

Everyone: "..."

The All-Knowing and All-Powerful God, with the thickest skin, was the first to recover. He put on a confident look, "High Gao, don't worry. I will exorcise this demon and purify its evil with the light of the Golden Wheel." He strode towards the wooden house, and his disciples followed nervously, armed with weapons.

As he approached the wooden house, the demon inside showed no reaction. The greenhouse was eerily quiet, with a strange pressure spreading.

Xiaobailong suddenly whispered, "What powerful divine energy! The demon in the wooden house has released its divine energy, but the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God doesn't know and is still walking forward foolishly."

"Divine energy?" Tang Sen asked curiously.

"Haha, what divine energy? It's demonic energy!" Sun Wukong laughed. "Anything outside the Heavenly Court's control is demonic energy, not divine energy."

Xiaobailong smiled bitterly and looked at Wukong, "Yes, it's demonic energy, and it's very powerful."

By now, the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God had reached the wooden house. He placed his hands on his hips and called out proudly, "Who are you, demon? Come out and face your doom. I am the leader of the Golden Wheel Sect, the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God. If you release Miss Gao obediently, I might spare your life. Otherwise... hmpf!"

"Creak..."

The door of the wooden house opened, and a beautiful woman walked out. She was about 23 or 24 years old, around 1.7 meters tall, and dressed casually in a denim jacket and jeans. She had a great figure, with a curvy body that exuded femininity, especially her impressive chest.

Sun Wukong looked at the woman's chest, then at her own, and suddenly fell to the ground, hands on the floor, in a standard disappointed forward bend, "Lost... completely lost."

Xiaobailong hid behind Tang Sen, "I wish I could turn into a bicycle."

Tang Sen was sweating, "What's wrong with you? A pair of breasts defeated you?"

"What do you mean 'a pair of breasts'?" Sun Wukong was furious. "Do you know how important that is to women?"

"Damn, I don't need to know! Focus on the important things. We're discussing combat strength, not those nameless lumps of flesh."

"Those lumps of flesh represent a woman's combat strength!" Sun Wukong shouted.

Xiaobailong, embarrassed to say such things directly, blushed and nodded in support of Sun Wukong.

Tang Sen was exasperated, "I can't reason with you women. Peanuts, you're the best. You don't get involved in this."

The Black Bear Spirit touched her flat chest and huffed, "Right, I won't get involved. I'm a toy bear, I don't need breasts..." She paused for three seconds and added, "But what is this damn feeling of defeat?"

Tang Sen: "..."
