467: Chapter 221 Expelled from the Clan_3 467: Chapter 221 Expelled from the Clan_3 If not for the overwhelming power of Tathagata Buddha, who could be considered the first beneath the Jade Emperor among the later generations of living beings, Mount Ling would never have possessed such renown.
Without the Buddha’s Mount Ling, it simply could not uphold the title of a major power in the Three Realms.
Ksitigarbha gave a faint smile and said, “No need to mention the Second Buddha Ancestor again.
Ksitigarbha has already left the Buddhist Sect.
This matter was even witnessed by Maitreya Buddha himself.
Now, Ksitigarbha belongs to Huaguo Mountain, under the command of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
As for returning to Mount Ling, please refrain from bringing it up in the future.”
Jin Chan sighed but eventually nodded, choosing not to continue the topic.
Sun Wukong’s lips curved up in a smile.
Trying to poach someone from under his wing was not so easy.
They had been at Mount Ling for less than three days when the envoy of the Jade Emperor arrived.
Almost without warning, three terrifying Immortal Techniques descended, striking at Mount Ling.
Sun Wukong reacted immediately, drawing the Jingu Bang, and with a flourish in the wind, it extended to the length of eight chi, and then he smashed it towards the Vault of Heaven.
Ksitigarbha also took action, forming the Demon-Subduing Seal with his hands, releasing a strike to block one of the assaults.
The Bodhisattva Guanyin smiled faintly as the willow branch from her Jade Clean Bottle flew out on its own, intercepting the last Immortal Technique.
As for Jin Chan, his first instinct was to flee.
Only when he realized that Sun Wukong and the others were also there did Jin Chan calm down and, following their lead, released a ray of Buddha’s Light.
However, his initial behavior did not go unnoticed by everyone.
Instantly, the expressions of all present turned peculiar.
Especially Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, who looked at Jin Chan with even a trace of anger in their eyes.
This Jin Chan was indeed unreliable.
If it weren’t for Sun Wukong and the others being there, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Mount Ling would have been in danger.
Jin Chan had no intention of protecting them.
Sensing the approach of a powerful entity, his first instinct was to escape.
If they were to rely on Jin Chan for protection, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
A myriad of thoughts flashed through their minds, and Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha and Maitreya Buddha also summoned their mana.
A battle at the level of Great Heavenly Venerate, within the whole of Mount Ling, only the two of them could still join in.
As for the others, they simply lacked the strength.
No wonder Jin Chan looked down on them.
In such a grand Mount Ling, there were hardly any formidable experts.
And those who claimed to be at the peak of Celestial Immortal simply could not participate in such a battle, with no hope whatsoever.
Sun Wukong squinted his eyes, staring at the three Great Heavenly Venerates above the Vault of Heaven.
With a cold smile, he sensed an aura similar to his own coming from them.
He had guessed that the Jade Emperor must have some reliance.
And it was impossible for the Jade Emperor’s disciples to lack experts at the level of Great Heavenly Venerates.
With the Jade Emperor’s methods and resources, cultivating a few experts at the level of Great Heavenly Venerates really wasn’t a big deal.
Sun Wukong, after all, was a disciple of the Jade Emperor, a Celestial Immortal for three years, a rate of cultivation which could only be described as shockingly rapid.
The three top-tier Great Heavenly Venerates also noticed Sun Wukong and sensed the same origin in his aura.
The three immediately released their killing intent.
“I never expected this traitor to be here as well.”
“Killing this traitor would surely please our master.
Brothers, we are about to earn great merit.”
“Haha, I was still thinking about finding trouble with him, but he has delivered himself to our doorstep.
To slay this traitor is to avenge our master.”
All three top-tier Great Heavenly Venerates showed excited expressions.
Originally, they came to destroy Mount Ling, but now the trio felt that if they could kill Sun Wukong, it would be an even better outcome.
Sensing their killing intent, Sun Wukong also laughed.
These people wanted to kill him; they were truly naive.
“I’ll take one, you three take on two, any problems with that?”
Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on Bodhisattva Guanyin and the others.
“I can handle one,” said Bodhisattva Guanyin with a light laugh, her expression not strained in the slightest, full of confidence.
This was a top-level Great Heavenly Venerate, and The Bodhisattva Guanyin had only just broken through not long ago, yet she was challenging a top-level Great Heavenly Venerate.
However, Sun Wukong was well aware that The Bodhisattva Guanyin was not someone who acted without certainty.
If she said she could, then she definitely could; there was no reason to doubt her.
“Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and I, working together, should also be able to deal with one,” said Jin Chan with a bit of a lack of confidence—that was a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate, after all, and surely difficult to fight.
The three individuals in the Vault of Heaven looked on with disdain.
One of them said, “Arrogant fools, do you think we are Li Guangming?
We crawled out from a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.
The battles we’ve faced are beyond your imagination.
I alone can slay you all.”
That Great Heavenly Venerate radiated a palpable killing intent from his being.
Sun Wukong’s heart lurched, and he fixed his gaze on the other party, realizing that this was not some greenhouse flower but a battle-hardened top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate.
With their strength, even if they faced the Four Heavenly Kings, they would not be outmatched.
If they really started fighting now, Sun Wukong was confident only in himself; he had little assurance for the others.
“Heh, you talk tough, but I wonder if your skill matches your words?
Who dares to come forward and battle me?”
Sun Wukong pointed at the trio and asked haughtily.
All three seethed with the desire to make their move against Sun Wukong.
They could sense each other’s thoughts, and after exchanging glances, one of them stepped forward.
