Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System
Chapter 87 Blatant

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Blatant

In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Haotian Mirror hung above the great hall.

A group of Immortal Officers and Divine Generals first were shocked and wondered who might be the formidable person behind Bai Huaxiu, and her origins?

Why did the White Crane boy capture Yu Yuan and present him to them?

Could it be for the method of crafting the Spirit Guiding Instrument?

While the immortals were pondering in confusion, they saw through the Haotian Mirror that Yu Yuan had transformed into Sun Wukong, who effortlessly subdued both the White Crane boy and Bai Huaxiu.

Only then did they realize that His Majesty and Sun Wukong had long seen through everything, and had laid out this trap.

Subsequently, under Sun Wukong’s guided interrogation, the White Crane boy revealed his collusion with the demonic cult and the smuggling of Heavenly Weapons.

With this, the truth came to light, and all the doubts in the immortals’ hearts were dispelled.

It was the White Crane boy and Subhuti who collaborated to smuggle Heavenly Weapons to the demonic cult. To prevent their deeds from being exposed, they attempted to poison the Wood Treasury Star Lord Deng Hua and pin the crime on the former Armory Prefect, the Metal Treasury Star Lord Xiao Zhen, but they did not anticipate that all this would be uncovered by Sun Wukong.

Later, the demonic cult set their sights on the Spirit Guiding Instrument created by Sun Wukong and, through Bai Huaxiu, they threatened the two to quickly obtain the crafting method. Unable to defeat Sun Wukong, they had no choice but to make a move on Yu Yuan, leading to the drama they had just witnessed.

But even after learning the truth, the immortals had new doubts. Why would the White Crane boy, with such high status and standing, take such risks to collude with a demonic cult and smuggle Heavenly Weapons?

As the custodian of the internal treasury, wasn’t it enough for him to openly embezzle treasures and accept bribes as he usually did?

The Jade Emperor sat high on the nine heavens throne; he too wished to hear the White Crane boy’s motives.

Although Sun Wukong had already told him that this foolish bird had a twisted heart from being manipulated, leading him to seek more thrilling pursuits, he felt the matter could not be so simple.

The magnificent hall was quiet; everyone was waiting.

After a while, from outside the hall came scolding voices, along with cries of shock and sobs.

"Noise, noise!"

The immortals looked in the direction of the sounds, only to see the Monkey King wearing a purple gold crown, clad in Golden Armor, and riding cloud-treading boots, grabbing the White Crane boy with one hand, and holding the bound Bai Huaxiu with the other as he strode into the hall.

This scene further elevated the status of Sun Wukong in the eyes of the Immortal Officers and Divine Generals present.

Looking over the entire incident, it was almost entirely uncovered by the Great Sage Equalling Heaven himself—few could match such skill.

Though there are many Daluo Golden Immortals within the three realms, few possess a variety of skills that could surpass those of Sun Wukong.

Under the gaze of all the immortals, Sun Wukong stepped up to the front of the hall in just a few strides, threw the White Crane and Bai Huaxiu onto the floor, and said to the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, I am here to report the completion of my task, this time..."

The Jade Emperor, not waiting for Sun Wukong to claim credit, said authoritatively, "I am already aware of the circumstances, you may step aside."

Sun Wukong scratched his hand and still stepped to the side.

The Jade Emperor’s gaze fell, and he asked the White Crane boy, "Why did you collude with the demonic cult and smuggle Heavenly Weapons?"

By this time, the White Crane boy had turned into a human and had stopped his desperate crying, upon seeing the Haotian Mirror hanging above the great hall, he was completely stunned.

Could it be that everything he just went through and did had been witnessed by the Jade Emperor and all the immortals?

"No, it’s not like that!" the White Crane boy panicked, totally lacking the confidence he had previously in front of Sun Wukong.

If what had just happened hadn’t been seen by others, there would still be room for maneuver, his master would surely come to his rescue, and the Chan Teaching would certainly not ignore the situation.

After all, he was the attendant to a Chan Teaching Saint!

"Speak truthfully," the Jade Emperor pressed on.

"Master, Master, come save me quickly!" the White Crane boy suddenly cried out loudly.

The Jade Emperor’s gaze shifted slightly as he looked toward the entrance of the hall.

Sweeping into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall came an old man in white robes, his forehead adorned with a bulging mark, none other than the Changsheng Great Emperor, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, one of the four mighty sovereigns of the Heavenly Court.

The immortals’ expressions all changed.

"My mischievous disciple has caused embarrassment in front of you all," said the Southern Extremity Longevity Star as he entered. He first cast his eyes towards the Immortal Officer and Divine Generals on either side. His glance grew kinder as it passed over Sun Wukong, like a warm spring breeze.

Then he turned to address the Jade Emperor above him, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, may I take this mischievous disciple back with me for strict discipline, how about that?"

The Jade Emperor remained expressionless, paying him no mind.

Meanwhile, the White Crane Boy’s despair turned into wild joy.

Seeing this, the rest of the Immortal Officers and Divine Generals remained silently unspoken; they understood that the Southern Extremity Longevity Star meant to firmly protect his disciple. Of course, it was also in defense of the Chan Teaching’s reputation.

Scratching his hand, Sun Wukong on the side realized he had still underestimated the shamelessness of the Chan Teaching. Just like a senior netizen had said, their backing was huge!

Thinking back to the actions of the Chan Teaching during the Divine Enthronement War, the current situation made sense as well.

But unfortunately for the old man, from the moment he stepped onto the field himself, his defeat became certain.

"Your Majesty," the Southern Extremity Longevity Star continued, "when the Saint of our teaching left the three realms, he urged me repeatedly to take good care of the White Crane Boy."

The Jade Emperor lightly tapped the armrest of his celestial throne, still without a word.

Pinching his beard, the Venus of the White Planet clenched his teeth and stepped forward to say, "Changsheng Great Emperor, pardon my boldness, but didn’t Your Excellency state before that we should neither spare the true villain nor wrong a good person?"

"Could it be that the Changsheng Great Emperor intends to shield a villain?" said the Preceptor of Universal Transformation, Wen Zhong, also in a grave voice.

"Colluding with the demonic teachings, and smuggling Heavenly Weapons, is an unforgivable heinous crime!" declared the Fire-attribute Star Lord, Luo Xuan, loudly.

"I concur, and suggest that his soul be scattered, never to enter the cycle of reincarnation," Water-attribute Star Lord Yu Yuan promptly joined in.

"I concur!"

"I concur!"

Mortal officials from the Sect of Interception along with Fu Yuan the Immortal, the Wood-attribute Star Lord, and other immortals of the Jade Emperor faction all stood in support.

Although the courtiers were in uproar, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star still wore a smile, "I have indeed said that we cannot spare the true villain, but we must also provide an opportunity for correction. Who among us has never made a mistake?"

"Haha, what an opportunity for correction!" Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Seeing such blatant shielding and indulgence, everyone had stood out, and of course, he could not remain silent.

"What guidance does the Great Sage Equalling Heaven have to offer?" asked the Southern Extremity Longevity Star with a smile, seeming very polite.

"The Changsheng Great Emperor hasn’t clarified," Sun Wukong stepped forward, standing tall as he said, "A small error can be corrected, but how can such an outrageous misdeed be redressed?"

"You have a point," nodded the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, "but we must not only look at the surface of the matter. I understand this mischievous disciple, he may have been greedy, yet he knows what’s at stake and would never take the initiative to smuggle Heavenly Weapons to the demonic teachings.

This must be some trickery the demonic teachings used to bewilder him."

"Exactly, I was bewildered," hurriedly agreed the White Crane Boy.

"Noise!"

"Noise!"

It was both Sun Wukong and the Southern Extremity Longevity Star reprimanding simultaneously, silencing the White Crane Boy.

"Hehe," Sun Wukong scratched his hand again and chuckled, "The Changsheng Great Emperor has misunderstood; my grievance was not related to any outrageous misdeed concerning the demonic teachings."

"Oh? Please do enlighten us, Great Sage Equalling Heaven," the Southern Extremity Longevity Star maintained his smile, but a trace of unease began to surface in his heart.
