Lu Yu cast one final glance at the disappearing Wanshou Mountain, then summoned the Auspicious Clouds beneath his feet and flew eastward. He felt it was better to inform the Monkey about this news sooner rather than later.
However, as he flew on his way, a violent wind blocked his path.
This was no ordinary Great Wind, but a howling storm carrying swirling sand. Lu Yu was certain that when he first came to this place it was a pristine landscape, yet now it was transformed into a barren desert under the force of this wind.
While Lu Yu paused to observe, a Demon emerged from the maelstrom.
This Demon looked ferocious, clad in Golden Armor with a yellow brocade robe over it, and a dazzling pheasant feather tucked into his helmet. He had the face of a rat, covered with yellow fur.
