Chapter 1284: Chapter 429: Brothers Reunited
Outside the door were Lu Dongbin and the others, looking a bit tense.
Sun Wukong asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Why do you all look so nervous?”
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Lu Dongbin’s expression grew serious, and he said, “Great Saint, something has happened. The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Zibaiqing, and Tian Hao have all sent gifts, saying they will attend the Great Saint’s wedding banquet tomorrow.”
The fact that these three would come took Sun Wukong by surprise.
But he quickly smiled and said, “If they want to come, let them. Does Old Sun fear them?”
“What if they cause trouble?”
Lu Dongbin asked with some concern.
A glint of fierce light flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes, and he said, “Then just beat them out. Old Sun is not one of those mortals who dislikes blood on a wedding day. If they wish to stir trouble on Old Sun’s good day, I don’t mind letting them bleed.”
At this moment, the Heavenly Court really didn’t fear those few.
After all, they also had several Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses.
Moreover, Sun Wukong was now a Supreme, even more confident.
“There’s one more thing, a gift from Haotian has also arrived.”
Lu Dongbin suddenly stated.
Sun Wukong’s expression paused slightly. Did this mean Haotian was going to return?
“Great Saint, invite the Three Pure Ones to oversee. With Lord Taishang here, there’s nothing to worry about with mere Haotian.”
Lu Dongbin suggested.
Sun Wukong shook his head, saying calmly, “Just mere Haotian, does it require the Elder Lord? Rest assured, Old Sun has his own means.”
Lu Dongbin’s heart stirred, and he looked at Sun Wukong, vaguely guessing something.
His expression turned serious as he gave Sun Wukong a look, saying nothing.
“Rest easy, Old Sun’s got this.”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Lu Dongbin nodded, then went about handling the tasks.
A lot of guests had already arrived, and except for Sun Wukong, none of them were idle.
“Haotian.”
Sun Wukong softly spoke the name, his expression a bit complex.
But soon, he regained his resolve, murderous intent surging in his heart.
If Haotian dared to come, he would not let him leave easily.
Many immortals arrived on auspicious clouds, and there were also peerless demons coming.
Even the Flood Dragon Demon King, who had crawled out from some unknown corner, came to attend Sun Wukong’s wedding, which made the Ox Demon King and the Lion Camel King exceptionally joyful.
Another person appeared, stammering and slightly embarrassed.
“Nihou.”
The Wind-Listening Great Sage, Macaque King, arrived, presenting a gift, and feeling ashamed when he saw Sun Wukong.
The Ox Demon King gave the Macaque King a cold glance, knowing about the events of the past.
Moreover, the Macaque King continued to oppose Sun Wukong even after he emerged from hell.
In the Ox Demon King’s eyes, the Macaque King was much like the Roc Demon King.
Such brothers were indeed a bit disappointing.
The Lion Camel King wanted to greet the Macaque King, but dared not, given the Ox Demon King’s presence.
At that moment, the Flood Dragon Demon King came over, smiling as he said, “We’re all brothers, where’s such deep hatred coming from? Nihou, don’t be embarrassed, just apologize to Qushen.”
Seeing the Flood Dragon Demon King speak thus, the Ox Demon King said, “I just fear Qushen won’t forgive him.”
“Seventh Brother is kind-hearted, and he treats us brothers well. He didn’t even ask for our help back then, not minding if we were mere spectators, as long as we didn’t harm him, he wouldn’t blame us. After all, we couldn’t stand up to the Heavenly Court then, but unfortunately, you actually harmed him.”
The Lion Camel King was seldom so stern, but today he was truly serious, looking quite displeased.
The Macaque King was full of shame, turning to leave.
“Nihou is here, why leave now? Old Sun is getting married tomorrow, and you leave today, what does that mean?”
Sun Wukong appeared, speaking to the Macaque King.
The Macaque King shuddered all over, his gaze fell on Sun Wukong, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn’t utter a word.
The Flood Dragon Demon King chuckled, giving the Macaque King’s head a light slap, mockingly saying, “Nihou, are you dumb? Qushen is talking to you.”
Only then did the Macaque King respond, looking at Sun Wukong, moving his lips for a long time before squeezing out a sentence.
“Qushen, I’m sorry.”
Sun Wukong came over, smiling as he said, “It’s all in the past, Old Sun doesn’t hold it against you anymore. Not even against that bald donkey Tathagata, so why blame you?”
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Macaque King felt even more ashamed.
He felt so filthy compared to Sun Wukong.
“Alright, let’s not dwell on the past anymore. We’re still brothers from now on.”
The Flood Dragon Demon King said with a smile.
The Ox Demon King and the Lion Camel King then came over, accepting the Macaque King.
Since even Sun Wukong forgave the Macaque King, naturally, they had no reason to hold grudges.
However, now with their meeting, only five of the Seven Great Sages remained.
Nihou and the third brother were both dead. The Roc Demon King’s death was insignificant, but Lord Yurong’s death was lamentable.
“It’s all Old Sun’s fault, coming too late back then, letting the third brother kill Qushen.”
Sun Wukong felt a bit guilty.
The Flood Dragon Demon King said, “You’re not omnipotent, naturally you can’t handle everything. This was Qushen’s fate, the third brother’s crime, but unrelated to you. Don’t shoulder everything, learn from your second brother, I never care about so many things, just live freely.”
Saying this, the Flood Dragon Demon King continued, “Honestly, brother, I don’t quite approve of you getting married either. What’s so good about women? Nothing beats freedom.”
“Second Brother came.”
Just at this moment, a cold laugh sounded.
The Flood Dragon Demon King was slightly stunned, turning to see two women walking over, both extraordinarily beautiful and graceful, top-notch even among female immortals.
Nodding his head, the Flood Dragon Demon King hadn’t yet realized the impropriety in his words.
He said with a laugh, “The two sisters-in-law are here; we brothers were just chatting.”
Nu Ba smiled faintly, saying, “I’ve long heard of Second Brother’s vast magical powers and unrivaled mana. Nu Ba would like to seek some guidance from Second Brother, is Second Brother willing to accept?”
Sun Wukong furrowed his brow slightly, then smiled.
The Flood Dragon Demon King’s earlier comment had clearly offended Nu Ba.
Nu Ba evidently intended to trouble the Flood Dragon Demon King, finding a chance to teach him a lesson.
The Flood Dragon Demon King was somewhat baffled, also realizing the inappropriateness of his previous words.
However, such a proud person as he simply gave a slight smile, saying, “If sister-in-law has such interest, Second Brother is naturally willing to accompany you.”
He had now risen to the ranks of the Sub-Paramount, not far from Supreme.
He could tell that Nu Ba had only recently joined this field.
Faced with Nu Ba’s challenge, the Flood Dragon Demon King was naturally unafraid.
“Good, Second Brother, don’t hold back. If you lose to this little lady, it’ll be embarrassing in front of the Three Realms’ immortals.”
Nu Ba said with a smile.
The Flood Dragon Demon King’s face darkened, he snorted coldly and said, “I will hold nothing back.”
The two squared off against each other, a charged atmosphere filled with tension.
