Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Making Trouble
Ten nine-thousand-year-old flat peaches caused all the immortals to be amazed and envious, as they could not even obtain one, let alone ten!
However, no one questioned whether Sun Wukong was qualified to receive so many rewards, for the merits stated by the Jade Emperor were known to all, and some had even witnessed them personally.
The Northern Supreme Sovereign truly possessed outstanding merit!
At this moment, under the gaze of the immortals, Sun Wukong got up with a playful smile, ready to accept the honor.
Before he destroyed the Peach Garden last time, he had switched out and taken all the flat peaches, although he eventually returned most to the Jade Emperor, still the small portion he kept for himself was an astonishing amount.
Nine-thousand-year ripe flat peaches were naturally not few in number.
But even if ten more were added, he did not feel it was too many!
"The old geezer really can hold his breath, not showing the slightest reaction, just watching me receive the rewards?" Sun Wukong also kept an eye on the movements of the Chan Teaching disciples.
But until he stood up, Southern Extremity Longevity Star showed no signs of making a move.
Just as he thought this, Southern Extremity Longevity Star suddenly said loudly, "Your Majesty, Sun Wukong once took advantage of his position to appropriate a great number of Heavenly Weapons for his own use, seeking personal gain for the demon group of Fruit Mountain.
He also condoned the Fruit Mountain demons to commit violence, creating havoc in the Lower Realm, and destroyed the nation of Aolai in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, bringing misery to its inhabitants.
His crimes are extremely severe and he should not be rewarded, but rather severely punished!"
With these words, the Peach Banquet instantly became tumultuous.
Eastern Victory Divine Continent had always been a Xuanmen territory, how dare Fruit Mountain commit violence and chaos there, even causing the downfall of a nation?
But according to what Southern Extremity Longevity Star said, if indeed every demon of Fruit Mountain possessed Heavenly Weapons and had the backing of the Northern Supreme Sovereign, they definitely had the power to wreak havoc in Eastern Victory Divine Continent.
All the immortals looked at the Monkey King clad in golden armor, curious about his response.
"Heh heh," Sun Wukong sneered, "The old man has really lost his mind, starting to talk nonsense."
Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s expression remained unchanged; he of course knew that the magical weapons Sun Wukong had taken were approved by the Jade Emperor, but such matters could not be openly discussed.
Because once it spread out and was known by all immortals, it would leave a bad impression of favoritism on the Jade Emperor.
This wouldn’t affect the big picture, but it was enough to make the Jade Emperor uncomfortable, and that was enough.
Most crucial was the matter of Fruit Mountain destroying the nation of Aolai, with Tai Yi Real Man personally intervening; the Fruit Mountain demons were bound to not escape the scheme.
Indeed, seeing Sun Wukong not making much of a defense, the immortals shifted their gaze again towards the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor, with a majestic face, said solemnly, "The numerous weapons Sun Wukong sent to Fruit Mountain were bestowed by Us. If you can achieve merits equal to his, We are not stingy with rewards either."
This unabashedly partial statement greatly moved the immortals.
But did this mean, the destruction of Aolai country by Fruit Mountain did indeed take place?
The Jade Emperor then asked, "Sun Wukong, has your demon group from Fruit Mountain been committing violence and chaos in the Lower Realm? Do not lie, otherwise We will surely penalize you severely!"
Sun Wukong bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, old Sun’s monkeys and children are all good-natured, this old man is talking nonsense."
Southern Extremity Longevity Star immediately retorted, "My Chan Teaching disciples have obtained irrefutable evidence, yet you still dare to lie!"
Sun Wukong countered, "Where’s the evidence? Why not show it to everyone?"
Southern Extremity Longevity Star sneered, "The evidence will arrive soon, but you seem so impatient, are you perhaps feeling guilty?"
Sun Wukong, smiling, waved his hand, "Heh heh, old Sun is not in a hurry, not in a hurry, let’s wait and see then."
Southern Extremity Longevity Star frowned slightly, thinking it should already be time.
According to his previous planning, at this time Tai Yi Real Man would be bringing many of the monkey demons from Fruit Mountain to the Heavenly Court to accuse.
This situation would surely enrage Sun Wukong, causing the Monkey King to unleash his fierce nature!
At this moment, the bustling Jade Pool had become quiet, with deities from all three realms present, none of whom dared to speak loudly.
After a while, suddenly, pleas for mercy came from afar in the sky.
"Golden Cicada, let’s have a good talk, let me down, hurry and let me down!"
"Big brother, say something, we are all respectable people, you can’t be completely ruthless!"
"We are about to arrive at the Jade Pool, Golden Cicada, do you really have to be so drastic? By seniority, I am your elder teacher!"
The pleas for mercy attracted everyone’s attention.
Golden Cicada was seen standing with one hand raised in a palm gesture, while his other hand held Tai Yi, who was bound.
This scene shocked all the deities.
Such a bold monk, to dare to lay hands on a disciple of the Chan Teaching Saint!
What was more shocking was that this monk was able to subdue the powerful Tai Yi!
"Amitabha, well indeed, well indeed," chanted Bodhisattva, who had been wondering why she hadn’t seen Golden Cicada, who was studying in the Heavenly Court; now she finally understood.
Supreme One Jia Ye frowned. At the last Transfiguration Meeting, Ao Lie had taken Sun Wukong as his master, which changed what was predestined. The Buddha said that where there are changes, calamities will come earlier, so he allowed disciple Golden Cicada to study in the Heavenly Court to increase changes as well.
Now, he did not see any calamity, but he saw the deep influence Sun Wukong had on Golden Cicada.
He did not know whether this was a good or bad thing.
Meanwhile, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s expression drastically changed, shouting, "How dare you, Golden Cicada, bully my Chan Teaching follower!"
Saying this, he raised his Panlong staff, and a terrifying divine light shot forth.
"My Buddha is merciful," Bodhisattva almost simultaneously tossed her willow branch, scattering golden light, and instantly dissipated the attack of the Southern Extremity Longevity Star.
"Merciful Compassion, dare you do this?" The Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s expression darkened.
"Amitabha," Bodhisattva stood with one hand raised in a palm gesture, "Patron, I am the Buddha Sect’s Guanyin."
The Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s face looked even more troubled.
"Heh heh, this old man is anxious to silence someone, which shows he is guilty!" Sun Wukong did not hold back as he jabbed further.
The deities exchanged looks, not daring to speak casually, because the suddenly tense situation among the three parties was not to be provoked lightly.
During this brief moment, Golden Cicada had brought Tai Yi to the Jade Pool.
"Elder brother, hurry and save me! I was wandering mountains and rivers in the lower realms when this bald thief suddenly attacked and captured me," Tai Yi shouted loudly.
Everyone knew there was falsehood in his words—evidence awaited by the Southern Extremity Longevity Star was evidently in his own hands.
The Southern Extremity Longevity Star with a stern face, questioned Bodhisattva, "Why would your Buddha Sect person attack my Chan Teaching follower?"
Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Everything has its cause and effect."
As good as saying nothing, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star snorted coldly, then turned to Golden Cicada, "Audacious scoundrel, release my Chan Teaching follower at once!"
Golden Cicada simply ignored him, only saying to Sun Wukong, "Great Saint, I have not failed your commands. This man transformed into your likeness and intruded into Fruit Mountain, where he was captured jointly by me and the Bull Demon King."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong’s eyes gleamed fiercely, staring at the Southern Extremity Longevity Star and sneering, "Old man, is this the evidence you spoke of?"
The deities looked at each other, they might not have dared to speak, but they had clearly understood everything.
