Everyone thought that Sun Wukong was merely joking, and although Xuanzang knew of his disciple's prowess, he quickly said, "Wukong, if you can revive the honored Kou Hong, it would indeed be a good deed."
"Master, rest assured, Old Sun will do his utmost. Please wait, Old Sun is off!"
With that, Sun Wukong vanished on the spot with a whoosh, heading straight for the Underworld.
Sun Wukong barged into Yama's Palace and shouted loudly, "Where are the Ten Yama Kings? Old Sun is here."
Knowing it was Sun Wukong who had arrived, the Ten Yama Kings dared not neglect him. Shaken, they hastily came out to greet him, fearing that if they somehow offended this monkey, he might wreak havoc in the Underworld again. Even if the monkey tore down the Hall of Yama, they feared there would be nowhere to argue their case.
