Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Tian Peng’s Helplessness

Sun Wukong returned to the Earth Fiend army camp and first cautioned the eight divine generals to be wary of being ambushed.

Yuan Hong, Deng Jiugong, and others understood implicitly. This time they had seriously offended the Ziwei Great Emperor, and it was possible that they would face retaliation.

Afterward, Sun Wukong returned to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Mansion to open the treasure chests he had just acquired.

Just now at Zi Wei Star, he not only destroyed the Sun Star Lord Mansion in front of the Ziwei Great Emperor but also acted according to heavenly laws, providing sound justification, forcing the Ziwei Great Emperor to kill his own younger brother.

Thus, the previous suggestions from his online friends had naturally been fulfilled, yielding him two fourth-tier treasure chests.

Sun Wukong silently activated the chests in his mind. The two ancient chests immediately emitted light, and various rewards flew out with accompanying notification sounds.

"You have opened a fourth-tier treasure chest. Congratulations, you have obtained the Vighna Raksha Formation Diagram (Level 7 Formation)."

"You have opened a fourth-tier treasure chest. Congratulations, you have gained insights into the Dao of Artifacts (Double Layer), Insights into Formation Laws (Double Layer), and the Sun Star Lord’s deep-seated wish."

"Vighna Raksha Formation Diagram?" Sun Wukong was intrigued.

The name of the formation was very peculiar. By checking the extra memories in his mind, he learned that this formation was created by Buddha Sect’s Joyful Buddha. It could create illusions of passion, triggering the most primal impulses and desires.

The power of a Level 7 Formation was such that even a Daluo Golden Immortal might fall prey without preparation.

"Hmm, created by Joyful Buddha, could it be because of those two monks I saw when I left Zi Wei Star, that I received rewards related to the Buddha Sect?"

Sun Wukong speculated and checked the rewards from the other treasure chest.

After reviewing them, he sneered, "Hehe! The Sun Star Lord’s deep-seated wish, this fellow was handsome but turned out to be a hypocritical Pharisee. My kick was too light!"

The so-called deep-seated wish referred to the Sun Star Lord Xu Gai’s lustful fantasies about Taiyin Star Lord Consort Jiang.

Xu Gai was once a military general of the Shang dynasty, generationally loyal to Shang, yet he had always harbored thoughts about Consort Jiang and thus held resentment towards King Di Xin of Shang, eventually defecting to Zhou.

When he died and was posthumously titled the Sun Star Lord, he realized that the Sun Star Lord was an imperial star, indicating he also had the appearance of an emperor, just not the fate of one.

This realization gave him confidence and a bold idea.

In Xu Gai’s view, the combination of Sun and Moon was like the celestial marriage of Demon Emperor Di Jun with the two Moon Goddesses, a predetermined heavenly pairing.

Perhaps he might have a chance with Taiyin Star Lord Consort Jiang!

"Truly a disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous, and dishonorable scoundrel!" Sun Wukong detested such people and regretted not kicking harder earlier. He resolved to teach him a lesson if the opportunity arose.

After opening the two treasure chests, he planned to invite Ne Zha, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, and Yang Chan over for drinks and also to caution them to be careful of being ambushed.

Although he had made many contacts among the Immortal Officers and Divine Generals in heaven, these three were his true confidants.

If the Ziwei Great Emperor really collaborated with the Buddha Sect to take revenge on those around him, besides dealing with the teachers of the Earth Fiend division, there were only Ne Zha, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, and Yang Chan.

Of course, Sun Wukong did not forget about his monkey kin back on Fruit Mountain, which was his greatest vulnerability.

However, he had already asked the Sea Dragon King, as well as the Bull Demon King and Jiao Demon King, to help take care of them, so there wasn’t much to worry about.

With 48,000 monkeys and monkey children equipped with standard heavenly weapons, having attained cultivation, they could also set up various battle formations and kill formations.

Unless a Daluo Golden Immortal personally intervened, Fruit Mountain was impregnable.

But should that happen, they shouldn’t blame him, Wukong, for not following the rules!

"The real threats are still up in heaven," Sun Wukong muttered to himself, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Soon, Ne Zha, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, and Yang Chan arrived at the banquet, making the Great Sage Equalling Heaven Mansion lively once again.

During the banquet, Sun Wukong did not hold anything back, recounted his exploits on Zi Wei Star, and reminded them to be wary of retaliation.

"Great Sage, how many times have I told you that you must take me along when doing important things!" Ne Zha was quite discontent and insisted that Sun Wukong drink three penalty cups.

"Next time for sure." Sun Wukong grinned and drained three cups.

"Would be great if there’s really retaliation, let it all come at me, Ne Zha!" Ne Zha exclaimed eagerly.

"Count me in!" Yang Chan was fearless and loved joining in the excitement.

"I’ll pass, let any retaliation come at you two instead," Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy laughed.

Sun Wukong had anticipated this and was not surprised, and continued to drink and joke with the three of them.

After the banquet had dispersed, he grabbed Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy for a private talk.

"You big oaf, pretending to be confused, huh?" Sun Wukong said.

"Big brother, you are meant for great things, I’m just getting by," Marshal sighed helplessly.

He knew very well that if Ziwei Great Emperor truly wanted to retaliate against someone close to Sun Wukong, the most likely target would be him, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

Ne Zha was the Marshall of the Central Altar commanding the Celestial Warriors, strong and influential, not easy to retaliate against.

Yang Chan was the disciple of Lady Nuwa and the niece of the Jade Emperor, with a second brother who was the mighty Yang Jian; none easy to provoke.

Unless Ziwei Great Emperor had lost all reason, he would never dare to target Yang Chan.

So, that left only him, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

Moreover, as one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, still under the command of Ziwei Great Emperor, retaliating against him would be all too easy.

Furthermore, in everyone’s eyes, he was already a close friend of Sun Wukong, having even brought eighty thousand heavenly marines to support the Jade Emperor’s side.

Seen as part of Chan Teaching, which Ziwei Great Emperor belonged to, whom else would he retaliate against if not him?

So, Marshal felt quite helpless.

"You call me brother, how could I let you fall into danger?" Sun Wukong smiled, "Just relax, after you go back, be more cautious, and if anything feels wrong, send someone to inform me immediately."

"Brother, I’ll be counting on you from now on," Marshal resigned himself.

Before Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy could leave, a guard from the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s mansion came in to report that a monk named Golden Cicada wanted to meet.

"Golden Cicada?" A fierce gleam flashed through Sun Wukong’s eyes.

He had just mentioned the Buddha Sect while drinking, saying that Ziwei Great Emperor was closely connected with the Buddha Sect, a reminder for Marshal and the other two that Ziwei Great Emperor had the support of the Buddha Sect.

Could it be that the retaliation had arrived already?

The Monkey King and Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy exchanged glances, noticing the serious expression on Marshal’s face, clearly sharing the same guess.

"Let him in!" Sun Wukong was not afraid of facing retaliation head-on.

Soon after, a handsome young monk entered the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s mansion.

They had interacted during the last martial arts competition, so they were not strangers to each other.

Golden Cicada greeted them with his hands clasped together: "This humble monk has met the North Pole Celestial Master, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy."

Sun Wukong sat there, putting on airs, and asked, "Monk, what brings you to me?"

Golden Cicada earnestly replied, "Under the Buddha’s orders, I’ve come to the Heavenly Court to study. Having heard much about the North Pole Celestial Master, Great Sage Equalling Heaven - of your vast Divine Skills and exceptional abilities, I’ve specifically come to seek teaching from the Great Sage, hoping you won’t stint your guidance!"

Seeking teaching? Offering teaching?

Sun Wukong and Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy glanced at each other again, both harboring the same thought.

Who are you kidding, it’s definitely for retaliation!
