In the heart of Demon City.
Down an ancient street alley.
A Monkey Demon, holding an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, hastened along, drooling profusely.
As it walked, it seemed it could no longer endure. With a flick of its palm, it was about to devour the baby alive.
But just as it opened its bloodied maw, about to lunge forward for a bite.
Crack!
A loud sound.
An Azure Dragon Staff appeared out of nowhere, blocking the Monkey Demon's face.
The Monkey Demon bit down on the staff.
Nearly shattering its teeth.
Hum!
A burst of Buddha light erupted from the staff.
The Monkey Demon was knocked back several meters.
"Who's there?!"
The Monkey Demon cried out in fear.
Yibai revealed himself not far away, holding the Azure Dragon Staff in one hand and the bundled infant in the other, his gaze towards the Monkey Demon was far from kind.
"What kind of demon are you?! Why block my path? I am a descendant of the Futian Great Sage—do not make a grave mistake!"
