Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 216: Confrontation

As everyone turned their gaze toward the Golden-Winged Roc, Sun Wukong’s attention was on Yu.

Not long ago, this Daluo Golden Immortal of the Asura clan was still defiant and steadfast, unwilling to reveal who had ordered him to detain the soul of the Jing River Dragon King, even though he knew he was facing one of the top Quasi-Saints, the Four Imperial Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court.

Now, Wen just had to ask slightly, and Yu revealed it, displaying a very respectful attitude.

His words also conveyed to everyone how close his relationship with Ran Deng was.

Just because Ran Deng’s mount had asked for a favor, Yu had helped.

Of course, Ran Deng’s mount, the Supreme One, was no simple figure.

Although Sun Wukong had never met him, he knew that this Golden-Winged Roc was actually the Sect of Interception’s outer-disciple, Feather Immortal, not the son of Yuan Feng, Dapeng.

The other problem was, when Jing River Dragon King was clearly harmed by Jia Ye and his associate, how did it turn into the Supreme One asking Yu for help?

At that moment, Feather Immortal was a bit dumbfounded. As his huge beak opened and closed, it emitted a thunderous sound, "Stop spouting nonsense, boy, I have never seen any Jing River Dragon King!"

Yu remained silent, offering no defense.

Ran Deng patted Feather Immortal on the back to calm him, then looked at Sun Wukong and smilingly said, "Ziwei Great Emperor, Yu said that it was Feather Immortal who asked him to help, but I can testify that in these recent hundreds of years, Feather Immortal has never left my side.

As to what truly happened, I suppose the Great Emperor can guess one or two things."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong, of course, could guess that it probably involved the current dispute between the Present Buddha and the Past Buddha factions within the Buddha Sect.

Based on strength, it was likely that the Quasi-Saint Jia Ye, masquerading as Feather Immortal, had deceived Yu of the Asura clan.

But what was his motive for doing this?

Sun Wukong also had his speculation.

But even if he figured it out, what did the Buddha Sect’s squabbles have to do with him?

Besides, he was happy to see the Buddha Sect tearing itself apart.

Thinking thus, Sun Wukong unceremoniously said to Ran Deng, "What can I guess? Just because you vouch for it? The death of the Jing River Dragon King is a case directly ordered by His Majesty the Jade Emperor to be investigated,

Until the real criminal is uncovered, anyone related to this case must come with me to the Heavenly Court."

Hearing this, Ran Deng’s smile remained, but he felt somewhat unexpected, not thinking Sun Wukong would be so unconcerned about personal relationships. As a powerful Quasi-Saint, he hardly understood that there were unwritten rules about leaving room in actions among the powerful.

This was clearly forcing him to reveal who the real criminal was.

The incidents in the Southern Continent were, of course, known to him; he just didn’t expect this fire would singe him too.

At this thought, Ran Deng smiled and said, "I heard that Ziwei Great Emperor has already captured the real criminal; it must be him who deceived General Yu."

Sun Wukong’s attitude was firm, "I only believe in evidence, and these powerful beings from the Asura clan must go to the Heavenly Court."

At last, the smile disappeared from Ran Deng’s face, his brows slightly furrowing.

There was also a flash of anger in the expressions of Manjushri and Samantabhadra, feeling that Sun Wukong was being unreasonable.

The many powerful beings from the Asura Realm did not conceal their anger, and had they been capable, they would have already attacked.

Thus, the situation became tense.

The only ones still fighting in the distance were Ksitigarbha and Mosquito Daoist, with the latter continuously venting her anger, blaming Ksitigarbha for spoiling her plans.

But the standoff did not last long.

Ran Deng, sitting crossed-legged on Feather Immortal’s back, twirled the beads in his hand, a terrifying aura faintly circulating within his withered body.

Manjushri and Samantabhadra prepared with their magical treasures, ready to take action at any moment.

Po Xun, Great Brahma, and Desire Realm, the three Demon King Quasi-Saints, also gathered their momentum anew.

Lastly, King Yuan, King Zhan, and King Ku, the three Asura kings, hesitated for a moment but similarly prepared to strike.

A new great battle was on the verge of erupting.

Yet Sun Wukong was fearless, facing nine Quasi-Saints alone, among them ancient powerhouses like Dipankara.

King Yama and others had already retreated to the border of the Eighteenth Layer of Hell and the Asura Realm; they couldn’t participate in such a high-level battle and could only anxiously worry about the newly appointed Emperor Fengdu.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a commotion arose behind them; within the Hell filled with fires of karma, countless wailing evil spirits suddenly quieted down, each becoming terrified and anxious.

After a ripple in the void, several figures appeared out of thin air.

King Yama, the Nine Halls Netherworld Kings, the officials of Fengdu, and other dignitaries were greatly alarmed at the sight.

They recognized these figures, the least powerful among them being Dongyue the Great, whom they had to bow down to.

The elderly man in green leading them was Green Radiance Great Emperor Tai Yi, along with Heavenly Thunder Master Universal Transformation from the Heavenly Court, Wen Zhong, and the four major external disciples of the Interception, Zhao Gongming and the Sanxiao Xianzi.

"Let me see which shameless person wants to outnumber the few?" Zhao Gongming, with an iron crown and wielding the Sea-Calming Divine Whip, was the first to step out of the Eighteenth Layer of Hell into the Asura Realm.

Green Radiance Great Emperor and the three celestial sisters followed.

This commotion naturally caught the attention of Dipankara, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, whose expressions changed.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately burst into laughter, saying, "My friends have arrived just in time, let’s subdue these villains together!"

Zhao Gongming and others swiftly came forward and paid their respects to Sun Wukong.

Then, these four external disciples from the Interception unhesitatingly showed their eagerness to battle, glaring fiercely at Dipankara, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra.

"Dipankara, is your grandfather’s bead any good?" Zhao Gongming stared at the string of beads in Dipankara’s hand.

"Brother, why waste words with him?"

"Today is the day to settle our scores, kill this old man to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, one holding golden scissors and the other drawing her longsword.

As for Yun Xiao, although she made no verbal or physical move, merely standing there watching, she was the one Dipankara and the others feared the most.

"The Divine Enthronement is complete, and the grievances should be settled, what do you plan to do?" Dipankara rebuked, his body surrounded by a faintly appearing escaping light, ready to flee at any moment.

But for Zhao Gongming and the three celestial sisters, the four siblings were like wild horses off their leashes, unconcerned with such admonitions.

"Hehe!" Sun Wukong added fuel to the fire, took out the Creation Cauldron, gently tapped it, and with a clang, a massive suppressing force spread out, subduing this part of the void, and preventing the use of escaping skills.

Then, the elderly man in green, the Green Radiance Great Emperor, gently shook his head, smiled, and said, "Ziwei Great Emperor, and the four celestial beings from the Interception, hold on a moment before you strike, allow me to say something."

"Speak, speak," Sun Wukong still kept his calm.

Gazing at Dipankara, Green Radiance Great Emperor said with a smile, "Buddha Dipankara, look at the current situation, if a fight truly breaks out, I fear it will be uncontrollable. Wouldn’t it be better to do as Ziwei Great Emperor suggested and have the Asura clan’s mightiest warriors visit the Heavenly Court?"

Dipankara’s face remained grim, but he still did not relent.

"Ah, when has the Asura clan ever been so popular?" Just then, a light sigh emanated from the depths of the Netherworld.
