The Prefectural Governor was stunned. Master Ito, who had been a scourge on the region, had been killed just like that.
Even he could hardly react, but soon a look of joy spread across his face.
Taiping Prefecture was finally at peace.
"Haha, he's dead, wonderful, a sheer delight."
Everyone was cheering, looking at Sun Wukong with eyes that saw a savior.
Apart from a savior, who else would have eliminated that Little Devil Ito?
The Governor excitedly said, "This young hero, no, I should say Immortal, you killed Ito. I should commend you for your deeds. Please stay a few days in Taiping Prefecture while I report to the imperial court to have them reward you."
But Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "No need, we who cultivate immortality have no interest in worldly possessions."
The Governor paused, thinking it made sense.
