Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Something’s Wrong

Sun Wukong took Ju Liusun back to Heaven.

He truly felt that this old monk was weak, not because he had gotten stronger, but because the opponent was weak.

Although Ju Liusun was at the Quasi-Saint level, his strength was far inferior to that of the other Quasi-Saints Wukong had seen before; it was rather insubstantial.

Of course, part of the reason he had won the battle so easily was that he knew Ju Liusun’s Divine Skills and divine weapons too well, preventing Ju Liusun from fully deploying his strength.

"Hmm, Wukong still has many divine weapons unused, if those were employed, the victory would have been even easier," Sun Wukong thought to himself.

Just the suppressing force of the Cauldron of Creation was enough to prevent Ju Liusun from escaping to the lower realm.

There was also the Ocean-Calming Divine Pearl and the Star-Chasing Whip, both of which were extremely powerful.

However, if he were to use these powerful divine weapons, it would likely cause a huge commotion in the Three Realms.

Therefore, he needed to find the time to modify these divine weapons before he could use them.

Soon, Sun Wukong returned to the lunar star.

The Vina Yaksha Formation enveloping the Lunar Palace had not been broken, so the place was still in utter chaos.

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy had sobered up. After a brief period of bewilderment and rage, upon seeing the chaotic scene before him, the bound Xu Gai, and Ju Liusun battling fiercely with Sun Wukong, he immediately understood everything and grew even more furious.

Was he being bullied for being an honest person?

He had been in the Heavenly Court for many years, never stirring up trouble, never offending anyone, always amiable with others.

Yet, unexpectedly, trouble had come knocking on his door!

It was fortunate that Sun Wukong arrived in time, and fortunate that Golden Cicada had awakened him with a punch; otherwise, a grave mistake might have been made!

Forcibly entering the Lunar Palace was a trivial matter for him, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy; at most, he would be fined some of his salary and sent to burn in the furnace at the Palace of Doushuai for a few years.

But the present scene was different; such chaos, being caught up in it, would surely result in a severe punishment!

After all, this was the scheming of Ziwei Great Emperor and Ju Liusun, the two culprits surely intended to pin the crime on him.

Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy took a deep breath and, with a lingering fear, gave Golden Cicada a fist-and-palm salute, "Monk, many thanks."

Golden Cicada did not respond. His face looked rather unwell, with an expression that even seemed a bit lost.

How could this happen?

In recent years, he had always followed Ju Liusun’s Buddha, traveling for the Buddha Sect, allowing him to learn many life lessons from this Buddha.

Although he sometimes found it difficult to accept some of these lessons, he couldn’t deny that Ju Liusun Buddha truly dedicated himself to the Buddha Sect.

However, at that moment, he wavered, beginning to doubt whether his previous judgments were correct. Shouldn’t the people of the Buddha Sect act upright and straightforward? How could they use such means to scheme against others?

No wonder when Ju Liusun Buddha had previously met with Ziwei Great Emperor, he did not let him enter, only asking him to wait outside.

Because if he had known, he would have certainly tried to stop and ruin the plan.

While he was pondering, he saw that Sun Wukong had captured Ju Liusun Buddha and returned to the lunar star.

But before Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and Golden Cicada could approach, off in the distance of the void, there appeared a chariot pulled by nine dragons, arriving at the lunar star.

Atop the chariot, seated with dignity, was Ziwei Great Emperor in a red imperial robe.

Without descending, he sat there and commanded with authority, "Sun Wukong, as the North Pole Zi Wei Emperor, why haven’t you immediately quelled the chaos at hand, but have instead captured Ju Liusun Buddha, who came to calm the turmoil? What is the meaning of this? Release him at once!"

Sun Wukong smiled and asked, "Is Ziwei Great Emperor so certain that Ju Liusun Buddha came to quell the chaos?"

"Right, I also caught your subordinate, the Sun Star Lord Xu Gai in the Lunar Palace. Could it be that he, too, was here to suppress the chaos?"

Ziwei Great Emperor, as if he hadn’t heard the latter words, solemnly said, "No matter the reason, you should not have acted, you should not have abducted anyone!"

"Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha is a Buddha of the Buddha Sect, obeying the command of the Tathagata Buddha to visit His Majesty the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court,

by abducting him you defy the rituals of the Heavenly Court, and it will also affect the relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Sect,

if the balance of the Three Realms changes because of this, and the Heavenly Dao becomes imbalanced, you will have committed a gargantuan crime!"

No matter how Sun Wukong heard it, he felt there was something off about these words and said mockingly, "Ziwei Great Emperor is so concerned for the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms, truly admirable.

According to your words, no matter what Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha has done, I must release him?"

Ziwei Great Emperor didn’t answer directly but calmly said, "If he has sinned, the Buddha himself will punish him."

Sun Wukong understood the meaning, which was that it wasn’t yet his turn to judge and punish.

"Heh!" He sneered coldly and raised his hand to give Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha two more slaps while he was immobilized.

This provocative action finally caused Ziwei Great Emperor to frown.

Below, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and Golden Cicada exchanged glances — they were unaware of the events that had unfolded in the lower realm and were naturally shocked to see Sun Wukong slapping Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha twice.

That was a Buddha from the Buddha Sect!

"Doesn’t his Buddhist family preach the equality of all beings?" Sun Wukong said with a laugh again: "Then evildoers must be ones whom everyone has the right to punish, so why can’t I judge him?

Moreover, I am commissioned by His Majesty to patrol the Northern Poles of the Heavenly Court and have the authority to inspect good and evil, and to control rewards and punishments. Now, having encountered such evildoers north of the Heavenly Court, how can I sit idly by?

Are you suggesting that His Majesty’s decree is less important than the Western Sky’s Tathagata Buddha? Must we wait for Tathagata Buddha to come and judge Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha?"

Ziwei Great Emperor said in a deep voice, "Do not cause trouble without reason, do not confuse right and wrong. You keep on saying Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha is evil, but do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?" Sun Wukong laughed and immediately had a new idea, pointing to the chaos below in the Lunar Palace, "That is the evidence."

Ziwei Great Emperor said, "This indeed is evidence of evil deeds, but it does not prove that Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha is the evildoer,

I already said that he came to quell the chaos, and Xu Gai entered the Lunar Palace to assist him by investigating the situation."

Upon hearing this, Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha and Xu Gai became anxious.

Clearly, Ziwei Great Emperor was not aware of Sun Wukong’s masquerade as King Ginger.

But they could only grunt and murmur, unable to speak as they were silenced by Sun Wukong.

Ziwei Great Emperor’s expression changed, and it seemed he sensed that something was amiss.

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort sounded above the moon.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the Southern Extremity Longevity Star riding a deer, coming from the northwest void, and in an instant, he crossed the vast space to arrive nearby.

"Greetings, Changsheng Great Emperor," Ziwei Great Emperor said cursorily.

Sun Wukong simply watched coolly — they were all coming out now, excellent!

Southern Extremity Longevity Star glanced at them and then sternly reprimanded, "One Central Heavenly North Pole Purple Tenuity Emperor, one Northern Pole Great Sage Equalling Heaven, and one Buddha Sect’s Fearing to Stay Sun Buddha, all prominent figures of the Three Realms,

yet only know to brawl and argue incessantly, allowing such chaos to happen within the Heavenly Holy Realm, what a disgrace!"

He waved his hand intending to break the Formation that enveloped the Lunar Palace.

Sun Wukong would not let him have his way and immediately shouted, "Hold on!"
