The Demon of Chaos

Journey to the West 5 The Demon of Chaos

What happened here?” Wukong asked the gibbon. A few more monkeys and apes gathered around Sun Wukong and the gibbon. They looked scared. “ A demon attacked us, ” said the gibbon. “ We tried to fight him, but he was too powerful. He stole most of our things and kidnapped many of us. ”

Wukong was furious. “ Who is he? Where does he live?” “ He is called the Demon of Chaos, ” said the gibbon. “ He came from the north. ” “ Wait here, ” Wukong ordered. “ I will handle the demon. ” “ The demon is very powerful, ” the gibbon warned.

“ I learned many things from a sage, ” Wukong replied. “ I am now as powerful as a god! I’m not afraid of any demon. I’ll be back soon. ” He leaped into the air and flew north. His subjects stared in amazement. “ Our king can fly! ” said the gibbon. Wukong soon spotted a gloomy mountain. Dark clouds hung over it.

“ That looks like a demon’s home, ” he thought. Wukong landed on the mountain and found a cave. Two guards stood at the entrance, practicing sword fighting. “ I’m king of the Fruit and Flower Mountain! ” yelled Wukong. “ The Demon of Chaos attacked my subjects! I want revenge! ” “ Ahh! ” the guards shrieked, and ran into the cave.

The Demon of Chaos was sitting at a table, eating a meal. “ Disaster! ” one guard cried. “ What sort of disaster?” asked the demon. “ There’s a monkey outside, ” said the other guard. “ He said he’s king of the Fruit and Flower Mountain. You attacked his subjects. Now he wants revenge! ” “ The monkeys and apes have spoken of a king, ” said the demon. “ He left to find a sage. I guess he returned. ”
