Luahua Suifeng, "Why is everyone saying that the Buddha Sect is scheming against the Weihe Dragon King? I think it’s also possible that the Weihe Dragon King is putting on a show with the Buddha Sect. Isn’t the entire Journey to the West just everyone putting on a show? Later, Wukong saw through all this and played along."

The Rash Youth, "That’s unlikely. Looking at the outcome, this unlucky dragon didn’t end up gaining anything good. His youngest son, the Dragon Turtle, even became a bandit and turned into an obstacle on the path to obtaining the scriptures."

Captain Nemo, "Apart from mythological attributes, based on position and importance, the main river systems on land are actually superior to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

The Weihe Dragon King manages the eight rivers of the Human Race’s imperial capital and the main four rivers—Yangtze, Yellow River, Huai, and Ji—are controlled by his four sons. With such status and positions, they really don’t need to put on a show for the Buddha Sect."

"No matter how much is said, they are still too weak." Sun Wukong thought. The Weihe Dragon King’s family might seem influential, but they were not strong in themselves; any Daluo Golden Immortal could easily control them.

This is the current state of the Dragon Race, they can only survive cautiously.

Xi Ling Revenge Army Dragon Might, "You all are talking about the original timeline. Now, the problem is, on the simulated timeline of the topic initiator, the journey to the West cannot proceed as originally planned. Why would the Buddha Sect still target the Weihe Dragon King?"

The Last Warrior, "That’s simple. Just like the few brothers mentioned earlier, the Weihe Dragon King is recognized by human ways and can approach the Human Race Emperor without being repelled by human fate.

The Buddha Sect can now fully control him to approach the reigning emperor, plan for the emperor to send envoys westward to search for Buddhist Law, and then bring back Buddhist scriptures, allowing the Buddhist Law to spread into the Eastern Lands."

Leader of East Melon Gang, "That’s right. In the original timeline, the Buddha Sect probably did just that.

First, the original havoc in the Heavenly Court happened during Wang Mang’s usurpation of the Han Dynasty. It was the end of the Western Han Dynasty, an era of chaos when promoting karma and rebirth through Buddhist Law had its market.

Then came the establishment of Eastern Han, a golden age, and Emperor Ming of Han dreamed of a golden figure, thus sending envoys to seek the dharma, bringing back monks from India along with scriptures on a white horse.

FInally, in the imperial capital of Luoyang at that time, they built the first Buddhist temple in the Eastern Lands, the White Horse Temple.

The Buddha Sect succeeded with a top-level strategy, thus entering the Central Plains."

"Dreamed of a golden figure, White Horse Temple?" Sun Wukong scratched his face, not knowing how the Buddha Sect did it this time, if it was also like that.

After reading the other replies, there wasn’t a clear statement from the netizens, most were speculations.

However, some netizens did mention how the Weihe Dragon King disappeared and where he ended up.

Changing Names Costs a Hundred Bucks, "Let’s not forget that in this simulated world of the topic initiator, the sequel is also stitched up. Isn’t it mentioned in the post that Sun Wukong is supposed to go to the mortal world with the Southern Pole Immortal to investigate?

And in the original timeline, about three hundred years after obtaining the scriptures, it was also White Dragon who sought Sun Wukong’s help to vindicate his uncle, the Weihe Dragon King.

Then Sun Wukong discovered that it was the Southern Pole Immortal and the Wei River Dragon King who had conspired to frame the Weihe Dragon King.

After this case, the era of supreme dominance began."

So, I think the disappearance of the Weihe Dragon King in the topic initiator’s simulation might also be related to the Southern Pole Immortal."

Mai Mai’s Secret Boyfriend, "That makes sense, otherwise the topic initiator wouldn’t bring up the Southern Pole Immortal."

"Hmm, Southern Pole Immortal?" Sun Wukong was surprised in his heart.

From previous contacts, it was evident that this was a loyal divine general, who commanded the Heavenly Court’s imperial guards and was deeply trusted by the Jade Emperor.

Thus, he had never thought that the Southern Pole Immortal could be involved with the disappearance of the Weihe Dragon King.

But now, Zhi Hu’s netizens claimed that, in the original timeline, it was the Martial Virtue Star Lord and Weihe Dragon King who framed the Jinghe Dragon King?

Sun Wukong didn’t doubt their words because both replies obviously foretold the future.

His gaze swept over Martial Virtue Star Lord. "Heh heh, you’ve played your part well, without revealing any flaws until now."

Clearly, if it were only the Martial Virtue Star Lord descending to the mortal world to investigate and apprehend, then the Jinghe Dragon King would certainly meet the unjust fate he did in the original timeline.

But now with him, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven also descending, this imperial guard marshal seemed not to exhibit any panic, but was as calm as ever.

At the moment, seeing Sun Wukong’s gaze upon him, Martial Virtue Star Lord didn’t say anything, he was just more respectful.

"Interesting, interesting," Sun Wukong contemplated in his heart and then read the following replies.

Chien Chiu-Hsien Yue: "Now it’s simple, let Brother Monkey directly capture Martial Virtue Star Lord and Weihe Dragon King and force them to confess the evidence of their collusion against Jinghe Dragon King."

Honest Little Fatty: "It’s not that simple. Brother Monkey is currently a public official, and even one of the Four Majesties, Zi Wei Great Emperor, he has to abide by the norms and can’t lead by flouting heavenly decrees.

If he captures these two without cause, and they refuse to admit anything, wouldn’t Brother Monkey be embarrassed?"

"Hmm, you make a good point." Sun Wukong admired internally. If one could ignore the heavenly decrees, why would the Jade Emperor have been usurped by the Southern Extremity Longevity Star beforehand?

Of course, capturing and interrogating them was also possible; worse comes to worst, he could just say he apprehended the wrong people.

But it wasn’t necessary, as there was a better way.

Beginning with the Eyes: "Directly capturing and interrogating is the inferior method, especially since the Jinghe Dragon King’s soul has been hidden in Hell, unable to reincarnate,

think about it, who’s in charge of Hell? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

If Brother Monkey were to resort to torture for information, not to mention whether it would alert the enemy, even if he could ascertain Jinghe Dragon King’s whereabouts, it would be difficult to get past Ksitigarbha.

If the victim, Jinghe Dragon King, cannot be found, then everything is useless."

"Oh, hidden in Hell?" A gleam sparked in Sun Wukong’s piercing eyes.

He had not forgotten that previously when he was summoned by the underworld, Ksitigarbha had acted unjustly, openly exonerating King Qin Guang in his presence.

If this time he alerted the enemy, then it indeed might be impossible to find Jinghe Dragon King’s soul again.

Low-altitude Police: "Brother Monkey can utilize his innate abilities, first transforming and infiltrating to find evidence of Martial Virtue Star Lord and Weihe Dragon King’s collusion, and then launch a surprise attack, heading to the underworld to find Jinghe Dragon King."

Vicious Unkilled: "Brother Monkey still presides over the underworld city of Fengdu as the Dark Emperor; there’s no need for a sudden attack, just go inspect boldly and take the opportunity to search for Jinghe Dragon King.

Moreover, Brother Monkey and Houtu, the Mother of Peace, have such a good relationship; couldn’t he restrain a mere Ksitigarbha in the underworld?"
