Chapter 1259: Chapter 405: The Four Divine Beasts Seek Aid
Seizing the right moment and rising, it’s easier said than done.
How many living beings must suffer and die in the process, even those close to them might fall in battle.
The Great Emperor Ziwei is kind-hearted, this isn’t just talk; he is genuinely worried.
Yang Jian also frowned, somewhat surprised at Sun Wukong’s attitude.
Sun Wukong met their gaze, smiling as he said, “Why are you looking at Old Sun like that? Old Sun is just a demon, where does he have such a kind heart? The deaths and injuries of living beings, what does it have to do with me?”
Great Emperor Ziwei: “…”
“Alright, Old Sun will head back to Huaguo Mountain, and you all shouldn’t overthink. Sometimes the more you care, the more you’ll be manipulated by others.”
After saying this, Sun Wukong took Nu Ba and left.
Great Emperor Ziwei and Yang Jian exchanged glances, starting to understand Sun Wukong’s meaning.
It’s not that Sun Wukong doesn’t care, but during this process, some sacrifices are unavoidable.
The more you care, the more it becomes a vulnerability, and then others will exploit it.
Sun Wukong’s stance might actually stop others from using living beings to threaten him.
“This monkey sees things more clearly than us.”
Great Emperor Ziwei sighed.
“The Great Saint is smart, and after facing so many hardships, he’s matured a lot compared to before.”
Yang Jian said with a smile.
Speaking of which, he sighed and said with some emotion, “I wonder when Nezha will mature a bit.”
Great Emperor Ziwei was speechless, wanting to tell Yang Jian not to hold out hope; Nezha was beyond help.
This guy won’t settle down as long as he doesn’t cause trouble for a day.
Considering Yang Jian’s relationship with Nezha, Great Emperor Ziwei did not voice this thought.
Yang Jian knew very well about Nezha’s situation; he forced a smile and just sighed.
On the way back to Huaguo Mountain, Lady Dragon of Wealth couldn’t help but ask: “Great Saint, do you really not care about the living beings of this world anymore?”
Seeing her worried expression, Nu Ba couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t you understand the Great Saint yet? He’s just saying that; by not caring for the world’s living beings for now, the Great Saint is actually protecting them more than ever.”
Lady Dragon of Wealth was puzzled, unable to understand.
Nu Ba explained, and only then did Lady Dragon of Wealth become enlightened.
Lady Dragon of Wealth apologized to Sun Wukong, saying: “I’m sorry, Great Saint, I misunderstood you.”
Sun Wukong waved his hand, gesturing that it was alright.
Then, his gaze turned to the distance, showing a hint of surprise.
“What’s wrong, Great Saint?”
Nu Ba followed Sun Wukong’s gaze, feeling a bit puzzled.
“Someone is looking for me, you two go back first.”
Sun Wukong said.
With their current strength, Nu Ba and the others need not worry about being ambushed.
Nu Ba and her companion quickly understood that something must have happened, and Sun Wukong needed to take action.
The two did not ask further questions; if Sun Wukong doesn’t want them to follow, they certainly won’t.
The two nodded, said to be careful, and headed towards Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong moved forward, arriving at a void.
He smiled faintly and said: “How long are you going to hide, why not come out?”
The White Tiger emerged from the void, sticking out her tongue, and asked in surprise: “You actually found me.”
Sun Wukong smiled; with his Eyes of Golden Flame, ordinary means of concealment naturally couldn’t escape him.
“Have something to discuss with Old Sun?”
The White Tiger became serious, speaking solemnly: “It’s our boss who wants to see you.”
Azure Dragon.
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised.
Though he knew the White Tiger’s visit must be important, hearing the title Azure Dragon made Sun Wukong’s expression turn grave.
An invitation from Azure Dragon certainly isn’t about a trivial matter.
The Four Divine Beasts who guard the realms are quite mysterious, seldom mingling with the Immortals of the Three Realms, Azure Dragon even more so.
“What happened?”
Sun Wukong asked earnestly.
“We need your help, to break through a place and seal it.”
The White Tiger also became earnest.
Even with the Four Divine Beasts working together, they came close but couldn’t accomplish that task.
Thus, the White Tiger thought of Sun Wukong.
She chiefly believed Sun Wukong was completely trustworthy, unlike other powerful figures in the Three Realms whom they didn’t know well.
If any accident occurs, it would cause big trouble.
“Alright.”
Sun Wukong agreed without hesitation.
“Aren’t you going to ask if it’s dangerous?”
The White Tiger asked in surprise.
She initially thought Sun Wukong would at least inquire.
In the end, Sun Wukong didn’t ask at all, simply agreeing.
Sun Wukong laughed and said: “What’s there to ask? Let’s just proceed, Old Sun trusts you.”
The White Tiger giggled and said: “You really are something, let’s go.”
The two left the area, heading to their destination.
The Easternmost Land, Sun Wukong and the White Tiger arrived here.
When the Vermilion Bird saw Sun Wukong, her eyes flamed with fury; she hadn’t forgotten being pummeled while carried on Sun Wukong’s back last time.
Every time she thought about it, her heart raged.
Seeing Sun Wukong now, she could hardly wait to teach him a lesson.
“Oh, looks like someone’s not welcoming Old Sun.”
Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Vermilion Bird snorted coldly, choosing not to speak.
Azure Dragon glanced at Vermilion Bird, signaling her to restrain herself.
Then, Azure Dragon went to greet Sun Wukong, slightly bowing, and said: “Thanks to the Great Saint for coming to help.”
Sun Wukong looked at Azure Dragon; the light in his eyes shone brightly.
Now, as a Sub-Paramount, Sun Wukong discovered the extraordinary nature of Azure Dragon.
This god who guards the east has incredible strength, likely among the most powerful under heaven.
If he fought Xihe, he definitely wouldn’t lose to Xihe, the Empress of Heaven.
As for the other three, they’ve also ascended to the rank of Supreme, not just ordinary Supremes.
Four Supremes, and keeping such a low profile.
In the Three Realms, there probably aren’t many who realize Azure Dragon and his companions are Supremes, which grants them precious tranquility.
Xuanwu also nodded, greeting Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong got straight to the point, asking: “What do you need me to do?”
“Seal a place, but it’s filled with Undying Demons right now, and our four powers can’t push through forcibly; we need one more helper.”
“Let’s go.”
Upon hearing Azure Dragon’s explanation, Sun Wukong immediately called for departure.
Azure Dragon was a bit surprised; does Sun Wukong trust his word so much?
Nonetheless, he soon reacted, glancing at White Tiger, and said with a smile: “Looks like White Tiger made a good friend.”
White Tiger proudly lifted her head, looking smug.
Vermilion Bird snorted again, still unconvinced Sun Wukong was a worthy friend, considering him just an insolent fellow.
Sun Wukong didn’t mind, he chuckled.
At that moment, ahead, a flood of sinister energy surged, accompanied by ghostly wails and cries of gods, eerie and unsettling.
Sun Wukong’s eyes were like lightning as he gazed ahead, witnessing some terrifying scenes.
