The two Soul-locking Ghost Envoys departed.
What took their place was a group of ghost officials, diminutive in stature, wielding Soul-whipping Whips, with cruel and cunning looks in their eyes.
Sun Wukong, still in a state of inebriation, was immobilized and one of the ghost officials whipped his soul.
The drunken Sun Wukong's soul was suddenly awakened.
At his first awareness, he felt the pain on his body and noticed the charms affixed to him.
He immediately exerted his strength and several charms spontaneously ignited.
Then, he saw a ghost official in front of him raising his whip again.
Furious, Sun Wukong bared his teeth and grimaced, instantly transforming his mouth into a gaping jaw, which swallowed the terrified little ghost official in front of him.
This sudden transformation and consuming of the ghost official immediately frightened a whole host of queued souls, causing them to scatter in fear.
