#2323 - The Stubborn Old Magistrate

Sun Wukong's playful teasing completely enraged the old county magistrate, who slammed the table and shouted.

"Since this monkey's head is so tough, then we won't behead him, change it to hanging!"

Following the old county magistrate's words, his subordinates immediately began setting up the gallows.

In just a short while, a simple gallows was set up, and looking at it, Sun Wukong chuckled again.

"Is this a gallows? This is clearly a swing made for Old Sun."

"Hurry up and send Old Sun up there to play."

Hearing Sun Wukong say this, the old county magistrate slammed the table.

"Hang this monkey to death!"

Immediately, several constables grabbed Sun Wukong and sent him to the gallows.

"No matter how tough you are, this will still strangle your neck!"

The old county magistrate threatened Sun Wukong.

After the constables put Sun Wukong's head into the noose, they began to pull the rope, hanging Sun Wukong directly.

Sun Wukong's neck was in the noose, but his body kept shaking.

"This is so much fun, I told you it was a swing."

Sun Wukong swayed his body, directly swinging on the gallows, which stunned the old county magistrate and the watching people.

"This monkey has demonic powers, he can't be strangled to death at all."

The old county magistrate was a little helpless and said to the advisor beside him.

The advisor naturally had to think of a solution for the old county magistrate, and after considering for a long time, he said to the old county magistrate.

"Your Honor, there's a saying that water and fire are merciless, and fire can burn ghosts to death. Why don't we execute the monkey by burning him to death? I don't believe we can't burn him to death."

"That makes sense!"

The old county magistrate nodded and immediately ordered people to set up a pyre.

Soon, a pile of firewood was piled up, and Sun Wukong was placed on top of it.

"Burn this monkey to death!"

The old county magistrate ordered.

The people probably knew the cruelty of burning, and they didn't dare to watch the scene of Sun Wukong being burned to death.

However, Tang Sanzang and the others all had calm expressions, because they knew that this mortal fire was completely ineffective against Sun Wukong.

"Even in the alchemy furnace, Wukong was unharmed, this mortal fire can't do anything to him."

"This little bit of fire isn't even enough for Monkey Brother to warm himself."

"Our Eldest Brother has an indestructible body, enough to infuriate this old fool of an official."

Tang Sanzang and the three of them laughed and discussed.

Sure enough, Sun Wukong in the seemingly raging flames was still laughing and mocking the old county magistrate.

"Add more fire, Old Sun is just trying to warm up, you guys add fire and firewood, this flame is too small."

Sun Wukong in this seemingly raging flame, not only was he not burned at all, but even the clothes on his body were not burned at all.

"Alas, how can we not kill this monkey? What should we do?"

The old county magistrate looked at the advisor and said.

However, this time the advisor was completely helpless and could only shake his head at the old county magistrate.

The people were also discussing at this time, and the scene seemed a bit chaotic.

"If he can't be killed like this, I think this monkey is a god."

"If he is a god, then he can't be killed, otherwise there will be a great disaster."

"Please let them go, Your Honor, I don't think they are mortals."

The people's discussions made the old county magistrate's face even more awkward and ugly. He announced the verdict, but was unable to execute Sun Wukong, which greatly affected his authority.

"Your Honor, since this monkey can't be killed, why not let him go for now, we can execute the others first."

Moreover, their cultivation had been exhausted and hadn't recovered yet, so they couldn't save Tang Sanzang.

"Monkey Brother, what should we do? Master will really be killed."

"What should we do?"

"Old Sun has no way now."

Sun Wukong and the three of them were very worried and anxious.

As for Tang Sanzang, he was not afraid, not because he was not afraid of death, but because he had confidence in his heart.

"Cut down Tang Sanzang for me!"

The old county magistrate gave the order.

The executioner bandaged his wound, brought his tools, and once again raised the large executioner's blade.

Just as the blade was about to fall, suddenly a ray of light flashed, and the unlucky executioner cut the light with his blade.

Bang!

The large executioner's blade was once again sent flying, and the executioner's already injured hand was bleeding profusely again, causing him to howl in pain.

"What's going on?"

The old county magistrate and the others also saw the ray of light and asked in shock.

"Please spare him!"

At this moment, a voice rang out.

Hearing this voice, Sun Wukong and the three of them were overjoyed, and Tang Sanzang also smiled and nodded.

Because they could tell that this voice was Chu Hao's. Chu Hao had come, and with his ability, he could naturally solve the current predicament.

Chu Hao's figure flashed and he had already appeared in front of the old county magistrate, scaring him.

"You... who are you?"

The old county magistrate looked at Chu Hao, who had suddenly appeared, and asked somewhat tremulously.

Chu Hao didn't answer, but Tang Sanzang and the four of them spoke for him.

"This is Immortal Chu Hao, the Three Realms Prison God of the Heavenly Court."

"My boss is an official of the Heavenly Court, much bigger than your mortal county magistrate."

"Even your emperor must kowtow and salute when he sees the Three Realms Prison God."

Hearing Tang Sanzang and the others say this, even the people began to discuss.

"So, this is a real immortal."

"And a high-ranking official among the immortals."

"Our county magistrate is not on the same level as him, it's really like heaven and earth."

Although the old county magistrate was muddled, he wasn't stupid. He looked at Chu Hao again and asked.

"Prison God, why have you come?"

"I have come to ask you to release Tang Sanzang and the four of them. They are not guilty, you must not kill them."

Chu Hao said to the old county magistrate.

However, the old county magistrate didn't buy it when he heard Chu Hao say this, and he could also see that even if Chu Hao was a Heavenly Court immortal, the Three Realms Prison God, he didn't intend to use force against him.

"No, Tang Sanzang and the others murdered and plundered, disrupting my Diling County, they must not be let go."

"I must execute them today."

"Unless you can prove that they are innocent, even if the Heavenly King comes, this official will strictly enforce the law."

The old county magistrate's stubborn temper seemed to have come up, and he said to Chu Hao with a firm attitude.

Even Chu Hao didn't expect that this muddled old county magistrate would be so stubborn and unyielding, even the name of the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms Prison God couldn't suppress him.
