Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven
Chapter 39 - 39 39 The Massacre at Gao Lao Zhuang

39: Chapter 39 The Massacre at Gao Lao Zhuang 39: Chapter 39 The Massacre at Gao Lao Zhuang Wu Zhiji’s eyes flickered coldly; of course, he would not be frightened by Bai Yu.

He approached Bai Yu, planning to kill him along with Fahai.

“Get out of the way.”

Iron Fan Immortal glared with her eyes, and her Palm Leaf Fan was about to sweep across.

Wu Zhiji was startled and quickly retreated.

Even Sun Wukong and Ox Demon King, two great saints of the Demon Clan, couldn’t withstand the attack of the Palm Leaf Fan; he didn’t think he was stronger than them.

Wu Zhiji retreated.

Bai Yu sneered.

This made Wu Zhiji frown with some annoyance.

He wanted to explode with anger, but just then, Sun Wukong and Ox Demon King flew over.

They were still in the midst of a fierce battle, fighting their way back from afar.

“Enough.”

Iron Fan Immortal rushed over, standing in between the two great demon saints.

Her phoenix eyes glowered fiercely, very angry.

Sun Wukong and Ox Demon King hurriedly reined in their power to avoid hurting Iron Fan Immortal.

With their strength, Iron Fan Immortal would certainly be torn to shreds by their mana if she were caught in their attacks.

Sun Wukong and Ox Demon King were both gasping for breath, staring at each other with venomous looks.

“You go back.”

Iron Fan Immortal glared at Ox Demon King and dragged him by the ear towards the Sky Scraping Cave.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhiji’s face changed slightly, and he turned to run.

Once Ox Demon King left, no one could stop Sun Wukong from killing him.

Sun Wukong glanced at him, feeling somewhat disinterested.

After fighting with the Ox Demon King, he was very frustrated and lost the desire to kill Wu Zhiji.

“Let’s go.”

White Crane transformed into a human shape, and Sun Wukong sat cross-legged on him.

Fahai also followed Sun Wukong, leaving together.

Not until they left the Western Continent did Sun Wukong speak, “Fahai, next time you do something, don’t be so impulsive.

Think more carefully.

Like today, you’ll only get yourself killed.”

Fahai clasped his hands together, speaking earnestly, “Great Saint, Fahai has learned his lesson.”

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, then said no more, closing his golden eyes as if to sleep.

But soon, he opened his eyes again.

“To Gao Lao Zhuang.”

Sun Wukong suddenly declared.

White Crane was slightly startled; what place was Gao Lao Zhuang?

Fahai knew the story of Journey to the West, so he naturally knew what Gao Lao Zhuang was.

Fahai couldn’t help asking, “Great Saint, are you looking for Marshal Tianpeng?”

Sun Wukong said indifferently, “Indeed, I didn’t want to get involved in these issues of the Three Realms, but since some are forcing me to join, so be it, I’ll enter the game directly.”

A sharp light flashed in Fahai’s eyes, and he immediately asked, “Fahai wishes to follow the Great Saint, please take Fahai in.”

Sun Wukong glanced at Fahai.

Fahai met Sun Wukong’s gaze squarely, saying, “I want to restart the Buddhist Realm.

Nowadays, the Buddhist Realm is nothing but a nest of petty creatures that have strayed from the principles of the Buddhist Sect.

They are not the true Bodhisattva Buddha Ancestor but just a bunch of bloodsuckers feasting on the faith of the living beings.”

“I want these Buddhist disciples to protect the common people.”

“I want these Buddhist disciples to slay demons and eliminate evil.”

“I want these Buddhist disciples to bring universal salvation to all living beings.”

Sun Wukong looked deep into his eyes as if to see into the depths of his soul.

Fahai’s gaze was as open as it could be as he met Sun Wukong’s eyes.

The thoughts in his heart all came out.

Everything he had just said came from the heart.

“Good.”

Sun Wukong agreed, then closed his eyes again.

Fahai immediately showed an excited expression.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, was a bit wary, reminding Fahai, “Don’t even think about taking my place as his mount.”

Fahai: “…”

He was a human being; even if he wanted to be Sun Wukong’s mount, Sun Wukong had to be willing, too.

And more importantly, where would Sun Wukong sit?

“Don’t worry, I won’t compete for it.”

Fahai said with a wry smile.

Bai Yu was then slightly reassured.

Following the coordinates given by Sun Wukong, they arrived at Gao Lao Zhuang.

The sight here made Sun Wukong’s expression change.

This place naturally could not be the same as it was thousands of years before, but it was not what they had imagined either.

Demonic Qi filled the area, and the entire radius of a hundred miles around Gao Lao Zhuang had turned into a realm of death.

“Eight Precepts.”

Sun Wukong called out.

No one answered.

Roar.

Just at that moment, an enormous wild boar emerged, as large as a mountain.

Its pair of ghastly white tusks was exposed, and its eyes were blood-red, staring fiercely at Sun Wukong and the others.

The demonic Qi surged around the wild boar’s body, originating from the same source as the Qi of the area.

Fahai was immediately enraged.

His eyes widened, and he roared, “Demon Head, you dare to harm the living beings here, watch me subdue you.”

With a flick of his horsetail whisk, he was about to make a move.

Sun Wukong grabbed him.

Fahai showed a puzzled expression.

Staring at the wild boar, Sun Wukong said with a solemn expression, “He is Eight Precepts.”

“What?”

Fahai found it hard to believe.

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie, his aura should be that of pure Immortal Dao, and even after joining the Buddhist Sect, it should be enveloped in Buddha’s Light.

The wild boar before them had clearly fallen into the Demon Dao.

How could this be?

“Let’s capture him first and then talk about it.”

Sun Wukong personally took action, charging towards Zhu Bajie.

He transformed into a gigantic Ferocious Ape and seized Zhu Bajie in one grasp.

Zhu Bajie, after being demonized, had become extremely violent, and his strength had grown by a third.

He struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Sun Wukong’s grip.

“Be obedient for me, Old Sun,” Sun Wukong shouted sternly.

The next moment, mana surged throughout his body and entered Zhu Bajie’s form.

A large amount of demonic Qi was cleared, and Zhu Bajie’s struggles visibly weakened.

When the last bit of demonic Qi was cleansed, Zhu Bajie’s massive body shrank and fell to the ground, then slowly transformed back into human form.

“Cuilan.”

Zhu Bajie shouted loudly.

His eyes were filled with sorrow.

Seeing him regain his senses, Sun Wukong took Zhu Bajie beyond the area influenced by the demonic Qi.

“What happened?”

All eyes were on Zhu Bajie.

“It’s Moluo.”

“It was him,” said Sun Wukong, a sharp light flash in his eyes.

Moluo was the Demon King Boxun, also known as Mara Boxun.

He resides in Trayastrimsa Heaven, which is also the sixth heaven of the Desire Realm, and the lord of the sixth Desire Heaven.

Logically, there shouldn’t be any conflict between Zhu Bajie and Demon King Boxun.

Why he target Zhu Bajie and even demonized him was perplexing.

If not for Sun Wukong’s timely arrival, using his powerful mana to expel the demonic Qi from Zhu Bajie, he would have completely succumbed to demonization and fallen into the Demon Dao.

“He killed Cuilan,” Zhu Bajie said in agony.

Sun Wukong was aware that Gao Cuilan was still alive.

For Zhu Bajie, with his top-tier Celestial Immortal cultivation, it wasn’t hard to assist Gao Cuilan in achieving longevity from behind the scenes.

Zhu Bajie thought that this time, by returning far from all the strife of the Three Realms and the Buddhist Sect, he would live a peaceful life with Gao Cuilan.

Yet, just a few days after his return, Moluo attacked.

In front of Zhu Bajie, he slaughtered everyone in Gao Lao Zhuang and killed Gao Cuilan, driving Zhu Bajie into madness.

Only then did he use his methods to demonize Zhu Bajie, intending to make him fall into demonhood.

Fahai couldn’t help but ask, “Why would he do such a thing?”

“Because of Amitabha Buddha,” Zhu Bajie suddenly roared skyward.
