Before Cang Lian had thought about what excuse to make to fight Sun Wukong, after all, he ranked thirty-second in the Inner Court, and the rule was to only challenge those ranked higher.
But unexpectedly, Sun Wukong came up and challenged him!
"Never mind the details. Even if this brat knows about my affiliation with the Cangqiong Immortal Palace, so what? Since he dares to challenge me, I'll show him what it means to challenge heaven and earth!"
Actually, Cang Lian overthought this time. Sun Wukong simply didn't know about his relationship with the Cangqiong Immortal Palace, nor did he know that Vice Palace Master Ling Xiao Immortal had given the order for Cang Lian to act.
Sun Wukong just wanted to make things easy, save trouble by claiming a mountain peak in one go first and then decide whether to use the two remaining challenge opportunities later.
Just like the hint he gave Shen Lang with a glance.
