When leaving hell, Sun Wukong glanced at the verdant Cuiyun Palace on the banks of hell, this trip had made it somewhat difficult for him to discern the stance of Ksitigarbha.
Previously, when the Mosquito Daoist transformed into the likeness of Ancestor Ming He to deal with him, Ksitigarbha actually appeared and exposed the Mosquito Daoist's identity, which helped him out.
However, when he confronted Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha, also of the four great Bodhisattvas of the Buddha Sect, did not show the slightest intention of coming to their aid, deliberately entangled with the Mosquito Daoist instead.
"Heh, old Sun is flattering himself," Sun Wukong inwardly scoffed.
The greatest likelihood was that Ksitigarbha and Ran Deng were not of the same faction, and there was also a dispute between them.
