A single incense offering from Youma Community directly resolved Sun Yan's magical combat problem.

Returning to San Francisco this time, Sun Yan felt as if he had arrived at his own home turf, utterly relieved, sweeping away the tense gloom from his stay in Tibet.

The position assigned to Sun Yan by the Monkey King was in San Francisco, but determining the exact location of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel required Sun Yan's own efforts to find it, a task not just ordinarily difficult.

Trying to find a stick in a city is almost as futile as searching for a needle in a haystack.

Yet, in order to enhance the quality of the Divine Statue of the Monkey King, even the most challenging tasks, Sun Yan had to grit his teeth and undertake.

He found a high-end local hotel and chose to book a stay for half a month.

He didn't know how long he would have to stay in San Francisco, so he prepared in advance for a long-term battle.

As soon as Sun Yan walked into the hotel doors, he immediately saw several Buddha Bo Le standing in the lobby, interrogating the front desk about something.

Getting closer, Sun Yan heard a few stern sentences coming from their mouths.

"Have your guests mentioned seeing anything strange at night recently?"

"No, officer."

"Show me your customer registration form, and remember, if you find any strange guests, make sure to call the police immediately, and we'll come over to check it out."

"Yes, officer."

Sun Yan spoke out, "I need a room."

The Buddha Bo Le beside him immediately eyed him, and one of them extended a hand, saying, "Sir, may I see your ID?"

In America, disputing with Buddha Bo Le is the most irrational thing; better to avoid trouble.

Sun Yan handed his ID over to them. After inspecting it, they returned it to him, adding, "Security hasn't been great lately, stay safe."

"Okay."

After the front desk had helped him with the room, Sun Yan straightaway took the elevator to his room.

He walked to the balcony and overlooked the streets of the city, specifically requesting a room at a high altitude for a better chance to detect the presence of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel by using the ability of the Celestial Eye.

Whenever the Ruyi Golden Cudgel appears, Sun Yan can accurately capture the detailed location of it.

Caw caw caw!

Suddenly, a crow flying by high in the sky caught Sun Yan's attention.

The crow glanced down, ready to fly away but suddenly turned back and landed on the balcony railing, cawing at Sun Yan.

"Danger, danger, danger."

The crow tilted its head and suddenly spoke human words.

"What danger?" Sun Yan asked.

He felt a familiar aura from this crow, being one of his other contracted beasts, Crow Yidan.

The crow's eyes suddenly spun rapidly from side to side and then turned a dark green.

Immediately, the entire aura of the crow seemed to change; it elegantly stretched its wings and bowed to Sun Yan.

"Pleasure to meet you here, Mr. Jackson."

"Yidan? What are you doing here?" Sun Yan asked incredulously.

"In addition to controlling the crow flocks, I can also descend upon my subordinates. This time the Speaker sent a few people from the council to San Francisco, indicating something major might occur. If there's nothing urgent, Mr. Jackson, you should leave here quickly; it's not safe."

Crow Yidan stated calmly.

"Do you know what major event it is?" Sun Yan asked.

Crow Yidan shook its head: "I'm not sure either, but I feel it might be related to the Evil God, otherwise the Speaker wouldn't show such concern for this matter, sending me with my subordinates to assist. Mr. Jackson, why are you here, traveling?"

"Yes, you go about your business, let me know if you find anything."

"Alright."

Just as Crow Yidan was about to fly away, Sun Yan suddenly thought of something and quickly called out, "Wait, let me ask you something, do you know of any strange occurrences in San Francisco recently?"

"Strange occurrences? Mr. Jackson, are you referring to the jumping incidents? Those are quite peculiar; in recent days, several people have consecutively jumped from their balconies to commit suicide. I'm beginning to suspect this might be related to the Evil God."

"Jumping incidents?" Sun Yan frowned, no wonder the Buddha Bo Le at the front desk were asking such questions.

It seems San Francisco indeed has issues; I wonder if these incidents are related to the Monkey King's request for me to find the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a rundown apartment.

In a dimly lit room, a disheveled man sat in a Master's Chair against the wall, enveloped in cigar smoke.

An elderly man wearing a coat and leather shoes walked in from outside, leaning on a cane and smoking a pipe, his face completely concealed in the shadow under his hat.

Upon seeing the man smoking the cigar, the elderly man immediately asked hoarsely, "Punk, where's the stuff I need? Don't tell me this time you went to the Eastern Continent, spent so much of my money, and returned empty-handed."

"Old Zorn, when have I ever let you down? I've already brought back the goods. But my losses this trip were too great, you need to increase the payment to compensate for my losses."
