Now, the Heaven-Defying Taoist approached Chang'an City, and Li Zhi welcomed him into the Imperial Secretariat.
Li Zhi asked, "What brings the Taoist Master here?"
After Wukong had helped to defeat Peacock City, the Tianzhu forces started a frenzied counterattack, wanting to recapture Peacock City. A clash of two million strong armies at Peacock City ensued, raising an indescribable tumult! Li Zhi, seeing the arrival of the Heaven-Defying Taoist, was naturally overjoyed. With this powerful figure here, he suspected the million-strong Tianzhu forces would soon be taken care of.
"I've come to ask for Your Majesty's help," laughed the Heaven-Defying Taoist.
"Oh, and what assistance do you need?" asked Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty, I need your help to establish a Taoist arena within Chang'an City; I wish to recruit a large number of disciples," replied the Heaven-Defying Taoist.
"Oh! A good deed indeed, I shall decree it immediately, and have someone carry it out," laughed Li Zhi grandly.
