493: Chapter 225 Moon Palace Traitor_2 493: Chapter 225 Moon Palace Traitor_2 “So you nearly killed Old Sun twice.”
Lu Dongbin: “…”
How can you say that?
“Idiot.”
Sun Wukong didn’t hesitate to give Lu Dongbin that assessment.
Lu Dongbin gave a dry laugh, fully aware of his fault, and didn’t retort.
Originally wanting to scold Lu Dongbin some more, Sun Wukong suddenly shifted his gaze outward, his mind stirring.
“What’s wrong, Great Saint?”
“Let’s go.”
After saying that, Sun Wukong grabbed Lu Dongbin and hurried towards the location of the Three Realms.
With his current strength, getting back to the Three Realms wouldn’t take much time.
Soon, Sun Wukong and Lu Dongbin arrived within the Three Realms.
At that moment, the battle between the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow and Lord Taiyin had reached a fever pitch.
Lord Taiyin was clearly at a disadvantage, bloodied and covered in wounds.
Her breathing was erratic and she was almost at her limit.
Yet, she was still fighting fiercely.
She had no idea what the situation was like near the Heaven and Earth Barrier and worried that Sun Wukong and the others hadn’t resolved the issue.
Therefore, she absolutely could not fail now.
Lord Taiyin, disheveled and drenched in blood.
The Fairy Maidens were anxious, wanting to help.
But before they could get close to the two combatants, they were repelled with such force that they vomited blood, unable to get near.
The only one with decent strength, Jade Rabbit, got a bit closer and was casually struck by the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, nearly pummeling her to death.
Faced with such a situation, they were completely powerless.
Wu Gang shrank within the Moon Palace, feeling regret for returning so soon.
Now, if Lord Taiyin were killed, they probably wouldn’t survive either.
He had known, he would have just stayed with his friend, avoiding the carnage.
As for what would become of Lord Taiyin, that wasn’t his concern.
Wu Gang was only thinking about his own safety.
While his mind was churning, Wu Gang heard the Nishang Fairy calling him.
“Wu Gang, do something quickly to help the Star Lord!
You’re the only one who is not injured and you have the strength of a Celestial Immortal.
Only you can help the Star Lord now,” she said.
Wu Gang was about to explode with anger and retorted, “Nishang Fairy, what nonsense are you spouting?
Do you want me to go and get myself killed?
This is a struggle between Great Heavenly Venerates.
What can a mere Celestial Immortal like me do?
It’s simply impossible for me to get involved.
If I rush there, it’s a sure path to death.”
Having said that, he glared at Nishang Fairy and said coldly, “Nishang Fairy, are you deliberately trying to get me killed?”
Nishang Fairy’s face darkened as she responded coldly, “Wu Gang, if I had your strength, I would have already charged ahead.
The Star Lord has been very gracious to us, and at a critical moment, you are afraid of death.
How can you live with yourself for failing to repay the Star Lord’s kindness?”
But Wu Gang said confidently, “I can’t get involved in a fight of this level.
You want me to go and face certain death.
What are your intentions?”
Nishang Fairy shot back angrily, “For the sake of the Star Lord, what does it matter if we die in battle?
Don’t forget, we have all received great kindness from the Star Lord.
Without her, where would we be today?”
Wu Gang sneered, “You’ve also received great kindness from the Star Lord.
Why don’t you go?
You die first and show me.”
Nishang Fairy was furious.
However, she had suffered heavy injuries and was struggling just to get up.
Otherwise, she would not have minded risking her life.
Wu Gang ignored her injuries, laughing coldly and saying, “None of you take action, yet expect me to die for you, how ridiculous.
Besides, I’m not really afraid of dying.
I’d rather preserve my life to seek revenge for the Star Lord.
If she falls in battle, I will surely train diligently in the future to avenge her.”
Hearing his words, everyone couldn’t help but scold him for his shamelessness.
Wu Gang didn’t care and just stood there, not moving.
Jade Rabbit glanced at him, which made Wu Gang’s heart flutter.
Everyone thought the Jade Rabbit was just a pet of Lord Taiyin and not very strong, but that was a complete misconception.
In the entire Moon Palace, aside from Lord Taiyin, Jade Rabbit was the second most powerful.
Her strength was almost at the level of a Heavenly Venerate.
Anyway, Wu Gang believed he was no match for Jade Rabbit, and if they clashed, he would die miserably.
If Lord Taiyin died, he would be better off defecting to the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow immediately.
That way, he wouldn’t be killed.
If Lord Taiyin survived, he guessed he wouldn’t be able to stay in the Moon Palace any longer.
With that in mind, Wu Gang changed his tone and shouted loudly, “Lord Taiyin has defied her parents, exiled them beyond the heavens, clashed with her brother, and prevented her parents’ return.
Such actions are worse than beasts.
Today, I, Wu Gang, renounce the Moon Palace and embrace the light by joining the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
I draw a clear line between myself and Lord Taiyin, whose actions are worse than those of beasts.”
No sooner had he spoken these words than Lord Taiyin trembled, distracted for a moment.
Immediately, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow seized the opportunity and struck Lord Taiyin.
Lord Taiyin spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her mana was dispersed, and she fell towards the ground.
Soon, Lord Taiyin crashed into the Moon Palace, creating a deep crater.
The Fairy Maidens hurried over and laboriously lifted Lord Taiyin out of the crater.
Lord Taiyin was pale, her mana scattered, unable to recover for the time being.
She truly was no match for the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, and there was a gap between them.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow smiled faintly, his eyes teasing.
He stared at Lord Taiyin and said, “Little sister, are these the living beings of the Three Realms you wanted to protect?
You’ve been so good to them, yet he betrayed you.
Is such a creature worth betraying your parents for?”
