The Monkey Spirit King and the Monkey Masters were relatively simple-minded, so they were not good at strategizing.
The Monkey Spirit King had completely put his trust in Zen. In any case, Zen and the humans were against the Snake Spirit Sect, so he figured he could let them deal with everything.
The Grandmaster of Heaven didn't know the details, so he assumed Zen was submissive to the Monkey Spirit King, just like he was submissive to the Bird Masters.
Therefore, when he had heard Zen's words, he was totally surprised.
"Well, is it any use talking to you?" the Grandmaster of Heaven asked.
"Of course it is," replied Zen calmly.
Although Zen wore a serious expression, the Grandmaster of Heaven still didn't believe him. He said, "Don't joke with me, boy."
"I'm not kidding," Zen said gravely.
The Grandmaster of Heaven's eyes shifted to the side of the hall, where two Monkey Masters stood guarding the door. The two Monkey Masters must have heard Zen's words, but they seemed unaffected by them.
Helplessly, the Grandmaster of Heaven said, "Please step back."
Zen and the human heroes did as he said.
The Grandmaster of Heaven spread out his hands, and two golden crosses appeared in his palms. When the crosses coincided, the coordinates appeared in front of him.
Buzz!
A soft sound rang in everyone's ears, and a shadow of a huge bird materialized in front of them. It was the Bird Master, Lawler.
Compared to the other Bird Masters, Lawler was just of medium build, yet his head almost touched the ceiling of the hall.
Lowering his head slightly, he saw the group of humans standing before him. He bore a strange, ambiguous expression. "Grandmaster of Heaven, I came here in person to see the Monkey Spirit King. Why are these humans here?"
"They said we could talk about this matter with them," the Grandmaster of Heaven said with an indifferent shrug.
"Humph!"
Lawler raised his head arrogantly.
In doing so, his head smashed open the ceiling of the hall. Then, he let out a long howl.
"Aoo..."
The high pitched howl echoed all throughout the Night View Island.
Shortly after, a huge and agile figure ran wildly along the lake. When he closed in on the hall, he leapt up high and kicked open the door to the hall.
Boom!
The huge vibration made everyone in the hall jump from shock.
"I could hear you howl from afar, Lawler," said Manuel.
Lawler stared at Manuel and sighed discontentedly, "I came to the Night View Island in person. Why are there a group of humans?"
"Humans? What's wrong with humans?" Manuel asked in confusion.
"Don't play dumb. Can the humans from the secondary world really represent you?" Lawler couldn't help but feel annoyed.
The monkey spirits were born a bit dull. It was only then that Manuel understood what Lawler meant. He patted his forehead and laughed heartily. "Of course they can represent us. My king has fully authorized them. You can talk to them about the alliance."
"What? They were authorized?"
Lawler was stunned.
'How stupid can the Monkey Spirit King be!' he cursed silently.
He had known the monkeys were simple-minded, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it in silence. If he really scolded the Monkey Spirit King, he would be in trouble and wouldn't be able to form an alliance with them.
"If you don't trust them, I can stay for the meeting," Manuel said. "But you have to talk to them."
Manuel jumped high again, bounding towards a corner of the hall to squat.
