542: Chapter 234 Deciding on the Plan 542: Chapter 234 Deciding on the Plan Sun Wukong hurried toward Huaguo Mountain, witnessing demons wildly dancing along the way.
Even some immortals took advantage of the chaos to seize treasures or capture the lives of living beings.
The protectors of the Great Sage Sect fought, killing one disruptive immortal and demon after another.
But all was in vain.
The disruptive demons and immortals were too numerous.
Sun Wukong furrowed his brow, thinking that even with the Heavenly Court opposing three forces, these demons should not have erupted all at once to cause havoc among the common people.
There must be something amiss; as he passed by a place, he casually grabbed a small demon causing trouble.
The opponent was merely transformed and was not even a demon immortal.
After Sun Wukong caught him, the little demon struggled repeatedly but could not break free at all.
“Be honest with me; answer exactly what I ask you,”
Sun Wukong said sternly, somewhat displeased.
However, the little demon felt nothing at all, as if he had not heard Sun Wukong’s words.
This slightly surprised Sun Wukong.
He observed the little demon closely and found that although the demon’s cultivation was at the transformation stage, its spiritual wisdom was frighteningly low, no different from a wild beast.
Normally, a little demon would have already knelt down and begged for mercy by now.
Something was off.
A thought crossed Sun Wukong’s mind, and he immediately realized something was wrong.
This was not a little demon cultivated normally; it seemed that spiritual energy was forcibly infused into its body, merely enhancing its cultivation but not awakening its intellect.
Instead, as the body gained power it could not control, the little demon’s consciousness became even more unclear.
Even ordinary wild beasts would not attack humans so readily.
But this little demon was attacking ordinary members of the human race like a mad creature.
This was extremely unusual.
Seeing that he could not extract anything from questioning, Sun Wukong exerted force in his hand and killed the little demon in one squeeze.
Looking down at the village under attack, Sun Wukong snorted coldly, his primordial spirit power surged, enveloping those little demons.
The next moment, the souls of those little demons were all eradicated cleanly.
The priests of the Great Sage Sect looked up and immediately recognized Sun Wukong, exclaiming excitedly, “It’s the Great Saint, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven has come to save us!”
The villagers knelt down to Sun Wukong, thanking him for saving them.
Their devotion to the Great Sage Sect grew even stronger.
Sun Wukong did not linger there; he merely nodded and returned to Huaguo Mountain.
Not many people were left in Huaguo Mountain, only Bluebird and Fan Yao.
Upon seeing Sun Wukong return, Bluebird and Fan Yao quickly came to meet him.
They looked somewhat anxious.
“What’s happened?”
Sun Wukong asked.
Bluebird said, “Great Saint, are you aware of the situation outside?”
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, saying, “I am aware now, has anything else happened?”
“Great Saint, the Three Realms are in chaos,”
Fan Yao said urgently.
“The living beings of the Three Realms are now in dire straits.
Although the Great Sage Sect is widely spread, it’s impossible to attend to all living beings.
Great Saint, please release my seal, I wish to do my part for the common people,”
Bluebird said.
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and then released Bluebird’s seal.
However, Sun Wukong also said, “I have only one condition; you must not return to Kunlun Mountain.”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Bluebird’s expression turned bitter as she said, “Rest assured, Great Saint, I would rather die in battle for the common people than return to Kunlun.
Now, returning to Kunlun would mean only death for me, and that would be too suffocating.
I’d rather give my life for the living beings of this world and die with purpose.”
Sun Wukong then said no more.
“Are the others out there rescuing people?”
Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on Fan Yao.
Fan Yao nodded, somewhat anxiously saying, “I wanted to go too, but they said I was the weakest, so they asked me to stay here and wait for the Great Saint to return and inform you of the events.”
Sun Wukong nodded and replied, “I am now informed of the situation.
The chaos in this world has become inevitable; we just do our best without any unnecessary burden.”
“Who knows how many living beings will perish in the chaos of the Three Realms?
Why are they doing this?”
Bluebird said through gritted teeth.
She even began to doubt the Queen Mother of the West.
Each one of those living beings was alive, but they disappeared from the world because of the actions of the Queen Mother and others.
Some living beings couldn’t even reincarnate; even their souls were eradicated.
Is this really what the ancient gods wanted?
Is it what the Queen Mother pursues?
If it’s as they say, how are the Queen Mother and those ancient gods any different?
Just as cruel, equally indifferent to the lives of living beings.
“Who knows?
They’re high and mighty, maybe they feel that apart from themselves, other living beings don’t even deserve to be called life,”
Sun Wukong said indifferently.
Anger appeared on Bluebird’s face, and she coldly said, “No one has the right to treat living beings this way; after all, the so-called ancient gods are just strong beings.
What have they got to be proud of?”
Sun Wukong’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
He was amazed at Bluebird’s bold words.
He didn’t know that recently, Bluebird, being with the immortals of Huaguo Mountain, had been subtly influenced, gaining sympathy for those ordinary living beings.
At the same time, she harbored strong anger toward the ancient gods wanting to sacrifice ordinary living beings.
Now, even if Bluebird were to return to Kunlun Mountain, she probably wouldn’t want to.
Sun Wukong could feel Bluebird’s emotions, which was why he released her seal.
