Who else is in Chapter 69?
The Monkey King lowered his head, his golden eyes flashing with complex emotions, including resentment and recognition of Shi An's strength.
After a long silence, it finally spoke slowly, its voice tinged with weariness and helplessness: "Human, you are indeed very strong. I, the Monkey King, have fought countless battles throughout my life, and my defeat at your hands today is not unjust."
"You're quite strong too, monkey."
Upon hearing this, Shi An stopped wearing a cold expression and smiled as he looked at it, saying, "At least among the people of the same realm that I have fought so far, you are one of the few who have fought me to this extent."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi An seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he asked, "Monkey, are you interested in coming with me, leaving Hundred Broken Mountains, and venturing out into the outside world?"
Upon hearing this, the Monkey King's golden eyes flashed with surprise. He looked up at Shi An, seemingly considering the veracity of the suggestion.
For a long time, the Monkey Clan has lived in the Hundred Broken Mountains. Although their life is relatively peaceful, their growth space is limited. After all, the Hundred Broken Mountains are only so big, not to mention that outsiders come from time to time to plunder their resources.
In contrast, the outside world, though full of unknowns and dangers, also means more possibilities, which is an irresistible temptation for any creature that desires to become stronger.
Finally, after a long silence, the Monkey King seemed to have made up his mind. He looked up at Shi An again and said, "Human, I am willing to go out and explore with you, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
Shi An was puzzled.
The Monkey King turned his head and looked at the group of monkeys who had come to a distance after the battle ended, saying, "I want to take some of my people with me so that they too can have a chance to see the outside world."
"Bring them?"
Upon hearing this request, Shi An was slightly taken aback and did not answer immediately, but instead fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he didn't really care about taking a bunch of monkeys out, but there were definitely many people watching him right now, especially those families that had been wiped out by the two brothers, they certainly wouldn't let him go.
If they were to see that the monkeys were with them at this moment, then the monkeys would probably be wiped out no sooner than they left Baiduan Mountain.
If that's the case, even if the Monkey King still follows him, he will definitely harbor resentment towards him.
Thinking of this, Shi An shook his head and said, "Your condition is not unreasonable, but I cannot agree to it."
Why?
The Monkey King was puzzled.
Seeing the Monkey King's puzzled expression, Shi An thought for a moment and then explained, "Because there are many people outside who want to take my life right now. If they see your monkeys with me, they will have no chance of survival."
"Is that so...?"
After hearing Shi An's explanation, the Monkey King's expression darkened slightly. He then looked up at Shi An and said, "In that case, I won't go out either."
With that, the Monkey King turned to look at his people again: "If I leave alone, who will protect them?"
After saying this, the Monkey King's golden eyes were filled with deep regret and reluctance, but he still slowly turned around and beckoned the group of monkeys to head back to their territory.
Looking at the somewhat forlorn figure of the Monkey King, Shi An said nothing. After all, everyone... every living being has their own choices and responsibilities. He could not force the Monkey King to give up protecting his own people for an unknown outside world.
"call out!"
But at that moment, a figure suddenly bypassed the heavily injured Monkey King and rushed towards the territory of the Monkey Clan.
"How dare you, you petty scoundrel!"
The Monkey King was furious. Ignoring his serious injuries, he leaped up, his golden fur dancing wildly in the wind, his eyes burning with rage, ready to intercept the figure that had suddenly entered his territory.
However, its injuries were too severe, and it couldn't catch up with the figure at all. It could only watch helplessly as the figure got closer and closer to its territory.
"You dare to take advantage of me right in front of me? You're asking for it!"
However, just as that figure was about to rush into the territory of the divine monkey, a voice as cold as ice suddenly rang out, and then a figure suddenly appeared in front of that figure.
It was Shi An!
"Die!"
Then, while the figure was slightly stunned, Shi An summoned Zhu Rong without saying a word and burned him to ashes.
"One...one move..."
"He killed the Demon Tree in one move?!"
Watching the invader instantly engulfed by the flames of Zhu Rong and ultimately reduced to ashes, the surrounding geniuses and talents were all dumbfounded, their hearts filled with extreme horror.
The Demon Tree, that's a notorious ancient beast!
Even among the strong in the Hundred Broken Mountains, he was now like an ant, instantly killed by Shi An in one move.
This is not only a demonstration of strength, but also a shock to Shi An's methods.
Seeing that aloof figure, all living beings were instantly terrified by Shi An's methods, and no one dared to step forward.
"this········"
The Monkey King was also taken aback. It hadn't expected Shi An to be so decisive, directly saving its territory. The original desolation and reluctance in its golden eyes were replaced by a trace of gratitude.
He looked at Shi An and thanked him deeply, saying, "Thank you."
"There's no need for that."
Shi An simply waved his hand dismissively, then glanced around coldly at the surrounding young talents and said indifferently, "Anyone else trying to take advantage of me? Step forward. If you can withstand one of my moves, I'll let you pass."
These words were spoken with an overwhelming air of dominance, and an invisible aura seemed to emanate from Shi An, causing the surrounding space to freeze.
Those talented individuals who had been eager to take advantage of his potential weakness after the battle were now silent and trembling, and no one dared to make a move.
Seeing this, Shi An immediately withdrew his cold gaze and turned to the Monkey King again: "Monkey, go back. With me here, no one dares to touch you."
"You...me..."
The Monkey King's golden eyes flickered with complex emotions as it looked at Shi An, seemingly undergoing a significant shift in its perception of the human before it.
Shi An not only demonstrated impressive strength, but also proved his sense of responsibility and loyalty through his actions.
Finally, the Monkey King glanced at the powerful beings who had stopped in their tracks, as if he had made up his mind, and invited Shi An, "Human, would you like to come and sit in my territory?"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An was clearly taken aback. Why was the Monkey King suddenly extending an invitation to him?
