Lu Dongbin: “…”
The Heavenly Venerate is indeed very powerful, but not strong compared to Sun Wukong.
Even Fahai has become a Great Heavenly Venerate, and although Nu Ba is a Heavenly Venerate, she possesses the combat power of a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate and is about to break through.
Once Nu Ba becomes a Great Heavenly Venerate, her combat power will certainly exceed Fahai’s.
Lady Dragon of Wealth, who was previously just a Celestial Immortal, is also about to become a Heavenly Venerate.
As for the Eight Immortals, except for the lazy Lan Caihe, they have all become powerful Heavenly Venerates.
Looking at it this way, Heavenly Venerates aren’t really strong at Huaguo Mountain; they’re quite common.
Thinking of this, Lu Dongbin’s face turned sour.
Nu Ba couldn’t help but laugh.
She said: “The Great Sage is joking with you.
What did you come to find the Great Sage for?”
Upon hearing Nu Ba say this, Lu Dongbin’s face improved slightly.
He smiled and said: “I heard that the Great Sage fought with Haotian God and was worried about his safety, so I came to inquire, but I didn’t expect the Great Sage to want me to do chores.”
“The Great Sage is fine, I just asked him earlier.
Thank you all for your concern.”
Nu Ba chuckled.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The main reason is that Haotian God is too strong.
Even though it was just an avatar, battling him made everyone very anxious, fearing something might happen to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong also knew that they didn’t do it intentionally, but were just concerned about him.
He was only joking.
Assigning chores to Lu Dongbin would indeed be an insult.
“It was just Haotian God’s avatar.
I teamed up with Great Emperor Ziwei and the others, four against one, and we were quite confident.”
The Eight Immortals nodded, acknowledging Sun Wukong’s words.
They were just overly worried.
“How did Sun Juekong join the Great Sage in action?
Could it be that Sun Juekong is really on the Great Sage’s side?”
Iron-Crutch Li asked curiously.
The others were also curious.
After all, Sun Juekong teamed up with Sun Wukong to deal with Haotian God, which seemed unusual.
Logically, Sun Juekong should have sided with Haotian God against Sun Wukong and his allies.
“I captured him and used the Mind-controlling Spell.”
Sun Wukong explained.
Everyone took a sharp breath.
As famous Daoist Immortals, they naturally knew what the Mind-controlling Spell was.
Moreover, in the Three Realms, it was almost explicitly forbidden to use this method.
The Mind-controlling Spell is extremely dehumanizing, turning a living being into the vassal of another, almost lacking independent thought, solely focused on their master.
This terrifying method was invented by an Ancient God who intended to use it to rule the Three Realms.
However, after controlling some powerful figures, he was discovered and subsequently killed by the enraged Three Realms powerhouses.
After that, anyone daring to use the Mind-controlling Spell was quickly annihilated, with no exceptions.
They didn’t expect Sun Wukong to use this method, and if it spread, it might arouse vigilance and dissatisfaction among all the powerhouses in the Three Realms.
Many might even unite to hunt down Sun Wukong.
Seeing everyone’s worried expressions, Sun Wukong lightly chuckled and said, “No need to worry.
If I’m not worried, why should you be?”
Seeing Sun Wukong’s confident demeanor, Lu Dongbin took a deep breath and swept his gaze across the Eight Immortals, saying solemnly: “Everyone, the Great Sage’s use of the Mind-controlling Spell must not be spread.
If it does, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Upon becoming serious, he held a certain imposing presence.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with disdainful looks from the seven other Immortals.
“Among us, you have the loosest mouth.”
“Yes, just keep your mouth shut, and we certainly won’t say anything.”
“We just fear you might blurt out the Mind-controlling Spell to some lady while drunk.”
“If the news spreads, it’s definitely because of you.”
…
The other seven of the Eight Immortals criticized Lu Dongbin, leaving him speechless.
He looked at them with discontent and said unhappily: “Am I really that unreliable and untrustworthy?”
“Of course.”
The Eight Immortals responded in unison, without any hesitation.
Lu Dongbin rolled his eyes, feeling deeply hurt.
Being despised by his companions, he felt extremely downcast.
However, no one paid him any attention; it was his own fault for being unreliable.
After chatting for a while, the Eight Immortals were ready to leave, not wanting to disturb Sun Wukong and Nu Ba.
Sun Wukong and Nu Ba were both amused and annoyed, as the atmosphere had already shifted to that level.
If they were to continue, even Sun Wukong felt a bit embarrassed and lost interest.
He decided to host a small banquet for everyone.
Considering Huaguo Mountain’s current prosperity, having plenty of supplies, it was appropriate to hold a banquet occasionally to reward everyone.
Everyone had indeed done a lot for Huaguo Mountain, and Sun Wukong was naturally generous to his friends.
At this moment, Fan Yao rushed in, looking panic-stricken.
“What’s wrong?”
Sun Wukong frowned; he rarely saw Fan Yao in such a state of panic.
This lady was usually quite carefree, so her current demeanor indicated that something bad had happened.
Fan Yao was extremely anxious and hurriedly said: “Great Sage, go check on Fahai, something has happened to him.”
Everyone was startled.
Fahai, being a Great Heavenly Venerate, had gone out recently, and they hadn’t been concerned.
With his current strength, even facing the Sub-Paramount, escaping would be difficult.
So they weren’t very worried.
No one expected Fan Yao to say Fahai was in trouble.
Sun Wukong flashed and was the first to rush out.
He saw Fahai collapsed on the ground, covered in blood, barely breathing.
His Origin was nearly depleted.
It seemed he had used all his strength to escape back.
Fahai’s eyes were closed, his handsome face pale and bloodless.
Sun Wukong activated his Eyes of Golden Flame and found Fahai’s Origin almost dry.
Moreover, Fahai’s Primordial Spirit was severely damaged.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath, anger flashing in his eyes.
The one who targeted Fahai aimed to obliterate him completely.
“It’s too serious, Great Sage, we need to treat Fahai immediately.”
Lu Dongbin reminded.
Sun Wukong nodded, took out a Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill, and placed it in Fahai’s mouth.
Then, he supported Fahai, channeling his immense mana into Fahai’s body to help him refine the pill’s power.
Seeing Sun Wukong act, everyone sighed in relief.
With the Great Sage’s divine skills and the Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill, Fahai could certainly be saved.
They guarded Sun Wukong and Fahai closely, fearing that someone might cause trouble at this moment.
