The King of the Cart Slow Kingdom acted with his own motives in mind, after all, head-chopping was a dangerous affair, and naturally, he didn't wish for his State Preceptor to be subjected to decapitation.
As long as Sun Wukong failed, the State Preceptor wouldn't need to face the chopping block.
But Sun Wukong himself was utterly unconcerned and readily agreed to the challenge.
"If that's the case, then I shall go first!"
Having said this, the monkey bowed with his hands clasped together and hollered cheerfully, "Excuse my boldness, but I am going first to chop my head off, three esteemed State Preceptors!"
Not waiting for a reply, Sun Wukong, without another word, strode toward the execution ground.
Although he appeared carefree and confident, Zhu Bajie and the others were very worried and they held Sun Wukong back, saying, "Brother Monkey, you must be careful, beheading is no joke!"
