Chapter 1103: Chapter 338: Zibaiqing, Jin, and Hong (Part 2)
Yang Jian nodded slightly, then asked: “So, how do you plan to handle what’s next? Letting the enemy descend upon Huaguo Mountain might pose a significant threat to it.”
“We’ll go back first, evacuate everyone, and then notify the Ancestral Dragon. If a battle truly breaks out, with the three of us – you, me, and the Ancestral Dragon – it’s not an issue to stop him.”
Even if it’s Zixia’s father, with the power of the Heavenly Emperor, Sun Wukong is confident he can hold him off.
This arrangement is basically foolproof.
“Good idea.”
The two immediately went to arrange things.
Everyone was somewhat bewildered, not knowing why Sun Wukong wanted them to leave, all heading to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
“Is something about to happen?”
Nu Ba asked.
The Bodhisattva Guanyin also said, “Wukong, although I’m not the Supreme, I can still take action against the Supreme. If a powerful enemy arrives, I can stay.”
“That’s right, brother, at worst we’ll fight them to the death. I don’t believe anyone can overpower you and the Judicial Deity together.”
The Ox Demon King also said.
“Big brother, there are quite a few stronger than Nihou and Yang Jian combined.”
The Lion Camel King reminded from the side.
He was quite obedient, wanting to listen.
However, no one present wanted to leave, each worried about potential danger.
The Lion Camel King was a little anxious seeing this.
These guys, can’t they really see it?
Sun Wukong asking them to leave surely means there’s an incredible enemy.
If they stay, they’ll just be a burden to Sun Wukong.
Thinking this, the Lion Camel King was somewhat anxious.
These guys, usually so smart, how come they’re all so foolish now?
“If you want to leave, leave by yourself, I won’t stop you. Just don’t say you’re an Old Ox’s brother in the future.”
He glared at the Lion Camel King, said the Ox Demon King sourly.
The words had come to this point, what more could the Lion Camel King say?
He could only shut his mouth, looking at Sun Wukong with a hint of helplessness.
Sun Wukong smiled and said, “You may have misunderstood. The reason I’m asking you to leave is that my brother Yang Jian and I have something to do, which you can’t know. It’s not because there’s any danger. You haven’t forgotten, have you? I’m a sworn brother to Lord Taishang, besides, according to Lord Taishang’s future arrangements, I, Old Sun, am an essential character. If something really happened to me, do you think Lord Taishang would just stand by?”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, everyone looked at each other.
They knew Sun Wukong made sense, but still felt uneasy inside.
After all, this incident was too big; Sun Wukong actually let them leave Huaguo Mountain.
Even if it was temporary, it indicated that Sun Wukong wasn’t confident in protecting them from future events.
Otherwise, with Sun Wukong’s character, he wouldn’t let them leave.
They weren’t fools; how could they not worry?
“Alright, all of you gods and immortals, stop fussing. It’s not like you’re parting ways with life and death. I just need to discuss some things with someone, and my brother is here. I’ve also notified the Ancestral Dragon, so what are you worried about?”
The more Sun Wukong said this, the more these people worried.
With Sun Wukong and Yang Jian joining forces and also notifying the Ancestral Dragon,
just knowing this makes it clear what kind of existence he’s facing.
Everyone exchanged glances, unwilling in their hearts, but still left.
They clearly understood, staying here would only become a burden for Sun Wukong.
Only by leaving could they truly help Sun Wukong.
This made them very uncomfortable, given their powerful status.
They cursed themselves inwardly, for not having enough strength to assist Sun Wukong.
Eventually, everyone departed for the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
The Ancestral Dragon stayed at the Dragon Palace, but was always keeping an eye on Huaguo Mountain.
If a battle really broke out, he would immediately go to reinforce them.
However, even facing Zixia’s father, the Ancestral Dragon wasn’t confident.
By midnight, Zixia finally arrived.
She entered Huaguo Mountain, taking in its scenery, and couldn’t help but sigh: “Truly a land of spiritual beauty.”
Subsequently, she used her Divine Thought to search all over Huaguo Mountain and immediately perceived the difference.
“On this island, besides you two, there’s no one else. Sun Wukong, you’re truly cautious.”
She smiled brightly, with no discontent.
Because Sun Wukong had told her, there was no distrust towards her.
What Sun Wukong didn’t trust, was Zixia’s father.
Sun Wukong completely distrusted Zixia’s father.
The reason for meeting him was primarily to know what he wanted to do.
Also, he wanted to understand what kind of person Zixia’s father was.
“Where’s your father?”
Sun Wukong asked.
“He’s here.”
Zixia smiled slightly.
Then an old man dressed as a farmer appeared before Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
He went from virtual to real, gradually solidifying.
Sun Wukong could sense that what arrived was only an avatar of the other.
Yet this avatar was extremely powerful, giving him a sense of danger.
Sun Wukong’s heart was shocked.
This was Zixia’s father? Truly powerful.
Just an avatar appearing made him feel endangered.
Even facing the Heavenly Emperor, Sun Wukong felt it was no different.
Yang Jian beside him wore a serious expression, clearly sharing Sun Wukong’s sentiment.
The two exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
This Zixia’s father was indeed terrifying.
The old farmer raised his head, grinning to reveal yellow teeth.
Knocking the pipe in his hand, the old man’s hazy eyes scanned the two, then smiled and said, “Two young fellows are quite remarkable. I sense the gaze of Lord Taishang and others upon you. To them, you two must be very important, right?”
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian said nothing, just staring at the old man, waiting for him to continue.
The old man took a few puffs from the pipe, gently blew out streams of smoke, then spoke contentedly, “If I were to kill you two, surely Lord Taishang and others would go mad, right?”
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were startled inside, but remained outwardly calm.
They fixed their gaze on the old man, their mana already raised.
If they needed to act, they would attack in the first instant.
The old man waved his hand, smiling as he said, “No need to be tense, of course I won’t attack you; it would be beneath me, understand?”
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian felt a bit exasperated, who did this old man think he was to say killing them would be beneath him?
Nonetheless, they didn’t relax their guard at all.
Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on Zixia, showing a questioning look.
Evidently, Zixia had said her father came to discuss cooperation, but starting with talk of killing was way out of line.
Zixia glared at her father, then said, “Father, don’t talk nonsense, speak properly.”
Clearly, she still had a voice in front of her father.
The old man set the pipe aside, sighing, “Young people today, so uninteresting, not humorous at all. Two young fellows, let me tell you my name; it’s Zibaiqing. You may also call me Old Jin, although I prefer being called the Red Slaughter God.”
Yang Jian twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Sun Wukong was even more speechless.
He wanted to ask if Zibaiqing’s family owned a dye shop, the name had so many colors.
“Fellow Zibaiqing, what do you want to cooperate on with us?”
Sun Wukong asked.
“Bury Heaven.”
Zibaiqing said blandly.
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian’s eyes turned icy, immediately showing killing intent.
The Heavenly Court represents the heavens, and now Zibaiqing speaks of burying the heavens, isn’t his goal to destroy the entire Ziwei Heavenly Court?
If that’s the case, they are indeed enemies, nothing more to discuss.
Thinking this, the two were about to move with full killing intent.
Zibaiqing seemed puzzled, smiling as he said, “Did you misunderstand my meaning?”
