With the King's edict in hand, the soldiers naturally did not dare to block the way, and prepared a table of vegetarian meals for Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong. After they finished eating, the soldiers respectfully returned the travel documents and then dispatched someone to escort them through the pass, leaving Sun Wukong marveling in amazement.
"Master, I really didn't expect the King here to be so sensible. I thought we were in for a big battle," said Sun Wukong.
"Having fought in Chechi Country, there is no need for battle here," replied Duanmu Huai while riding on his horse, appearing quite calm.
"The saying 'a single fist fight avoids a hundred others' is exactly the point. Our names have spread throughout West Cowherd State for subduing demons and devils, and once the King heard of what happened with the King of Chechi, he wouldn't dare trouble us."
