Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 821 - 822: No 300 Taels of Silver Buried Here (First Update!)

"Damn it!"

Great Hall Master Mu Yin’s face changed dramatically. A formless force spread out from his body, covering the fire column and forcibly shutting down the formation that Sun Wukong had triggered, cutting off the source of the fire column.

Though the formation’s source could be cut off, the fire column that had already burst out could not be eliminated. Great Hall Master Mu Yin was about to wave his hand to remove the flames, but he found that the fire column suddenly moved.

The sky-high fire column quickly shrank towards the center, as if it were being absorbed by a black hole, and soon vanished completely, revealing Sun Wukong’s figure.

Sun Wukong was clad in a gold and red battle armor, wearing a helmet with a long plume, and a fiery red cape fluttering behind him. It was the Ruyi Divine Armor!

At the moment the fire column rose, the Ruyi Divine Armor automatically appeared, protecting Sun Wukong’s body, and then Chaos Fire surged from within him, firmly blocking and quickly assimilating the flames.

Without the protection of the Ruyi Divine Armor, Sun Wukong would have been burned before the Chaos Fire could assimilate the fire column. The Ruyi Divine Armor’s defense gained enough time for the Chaos Fire to quickly master the properties of the underground flames and absorb them.

Sun Wukong was most aware of this, but his understanding didn’t mean others were aware of it!

"How is it possible? How can this stinking monkey be unharmed? This is impossible!"

Wu Yong widened his eyes in disbelief. He could clearly sense the terrible destructive power of the fire column from the side, which couldn’t be withstood by a marshal-level expert. Yet Sun Wukong was unscathed!

Not only that, but the fire column was clearly absorbed by Sun Wukong!

This guy isn’t just a chaos physique; how can he even absorb flames of this level? It’s incredible!

Never before had he heard that chaos attributes had such effects!

"A chaos physique has such characteristics! Amazing, amazing!"

Great Hall Master Mu Yin was initially stunned, then burst into laughter, appearing very excited.

The chaos physique, such a divine body, was extremely rare in the Yuan Realm. Great Hall Master Mu Yin had only heard of it and wasn’t very clear about its characteristics.

Sun Wukong had a Chaos Battle Body, and he wielded Chaos Fire. This was very different from a typical chaos physique. If it had been an ordinary chaos physique, they wouldn’t have been able to resist the fire column, which normally contained enough destructive power to easily annihilate a Yuan King Level expert!

After his initial excitement, Great Hall Master Mu Yin’s face became serious again. He looked at Sun Wukong strangely and said, "Wukong, I told you earlier that there are formations set in the Primordial Spirit Path and to stick together. How did you suddenly trigger one of the formations?"

From what Great Hall Master Mu Yin knew of Sun Wukong, he wasn’t the rash type who would ignore warnings. There must be another reason.

"I really don’t know myself. Suddenly, a great force struck my side waist, causing me to lose my balance and stumble."

As Sun Wukong spoke, he glanced sideways at Wu Yong. Although it was just a casual glance, the cold light in his eyes made Wu Yong bristle with fear, as if he were being stared at by a fierce beast signifying death.

"Why are you looking at me? It wasn’t me!"

Panicking, Wu Yong lost his composure and shouted.

"If you haven’t done anything wrong, you wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at midnight! I haven’t said anything yet, so why are you so nervous?"

Sun Wukong laughed. Wu Yong was such a fool. His behavior was as good as admitting guilt.

"I’m not nervous! Sun Wukong, I know we had some trouble before joining the Primordial Spirit Alliance, but now we’re all members of the same alliance. If you want to falsely accuse me, I won’t accept it!"

Realizing his previous reaction was clumsy, Wu Yong quickly explained.

Great Hall Master Mu Yin initially suspected Wu Yong because of his words, but now, after listening, he was uncertain again. Indeed, Wu Yong and Sun Wukong had been at odds. Could Sun Wukong be using this chance to frame him?

"Ridiculous! Have I ever mentioned you from the beginning? It’s you who has been nervously explaining yourself. Look at Sikong Yu and then look at yourself. Isn’t it obvious? Do you think I need to frame you?"

Sun Wukong coldly laughed, pointing to Sikong Yu. Indeed, Sikong Yu looked a bit surprised, but that was normal. He wasn’t as nervous as Wu Yong, which itself was a confession!

"Great Hall Master! I didn’t do it! Don’t listen to his nonsense! He is framing me! He is framing me!"

Wu Yong explained anxiously to Great Hall Master Mu Yin, "Sun Wukong, if you have evidence, show it! You say a great force hit you, making you lose balance. Don’t forget you’re at marshal cultivation level. I, a mere Yuan General, don’t have the ability to attack you so silently!"

"Enough! Stop talking!"

Great Hall Master Mu Yin frowned and said sternly, "Wukong never pointed a finger at you, Wu Yong, don’t be a villain! This matter ends here. All of you stay in line. As alliance members, we should support each other instead of these mutual accusations. What kind of example are you setting?"

Great Hall Master Mu Yin was inclined to believe Sun Wukong, but without evidence, it would be too hasty to convict Wu Yong based solely on his reaction.

Wu Yong, after all, was a member of the Wu Family of Sky-shaking Cliff, not a disciple of some small sect, nor a loose cultivator. Without concrete evidence, Great Hall Master Mu Yin still had to consider the reputation of Sky-shaking Cliff.

"Wukong, I know you are displeased, but without evidence, I can’t casually punish Wu Yong. If you can’t let it go, find an opportunity to teach him a lesson later."

Great Hall Master Mu Yin worried that Sun Wukong would hold a grudge, so he secretly explained via voice transmission.

"Brother Mu, you worry too much. I know how to weigh things! Don’t worry, I will handle it without making it difficult for you!"

Sun Wukong replied through voice transmission, not holding on. He knew Wu Yong caused this trouble, but without evidence, it wasn’t right to pursue it openly.

However, Sun Wukong wouldn’t let this go lightly. Sooner or later, he would settle the score with Wu Yong!
