"Your Majesty must not be deceived by this demon path, lest you commit a grave mistake,"
Xuanzang looked meaningfully at the King and said.
"How dare you! I am the National Abbot personally appointed by His Majesty, and you dare to call me a demon path,"
the Daoist raised in anger, bellowing loudly.
Then, turning to the Foolish Ruler, he said, "Your Majesty, this Demon Monk is recklessly audacious. He calls me a demon path, which is clearly a veiled insult to Your Majesty, branding you as a Foolish Ruler, a crime of immense disloyalty."
