The Great Emperor Zhenwu led his captives back to court, headed towards the Northern Heavenly Gate.
Sun Wukong then took Yuyan for another tour of the Northern Jambu Continent, which had less haze and foul air. He paid special attention to the children he had influenced, and, not feeling entirely assured of their safety, he called upon the local deities of each place and gave each child a golden flower, saying, "Take good care of these children. Do not help them unless their lives are in danger."
"We will strictly adhere to the Divine King's decree!"
The disciples each put away their golden flowers with joy in their eyes, for such rewards bestowed with accumulated virtue were beyond the reach of minor deities like them. They all kowtowed to Sun Wukong, swearing they would certainly not fail in their mission.
Nodding, Sun Wukong rose upon the clouds, with Yuyan on their way to Huaguo Mountain.
