"What crime has this Great Sage committed that troubles you, venerable sir, to come and suppress me?" Sun Wukong suddenly didn't want to see the ugly faces of the Heavenly Court anymore. He especially hated beating around the bush with these so - called acquaintances. As he spoke, the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand suddenly grew larger.
If it were in the past, he would surely have spat and said, "Your mother's nonsense! If I don't beat you until you call this Great Sage grandpa, the Ruyi Jingu Bang won't agree!"
But five hundred years had passed, and Sun Wukong had matured.
"Now that you've long become a Buddhist disciple following Tang Seng, you've blatantly violated the precept regarding women and even attempted to rally the demon world against the Heavenly Court. What's wrong with me being ordered to arrest you?" Compared to his previous politeness, Li Jing also thought it was more straightforward to confront each other like this!
"If you want to frame someone, you'll never lack a pretext! If you want to fight, then fight. Why waste your breath!" After Sun Wukong said this, he charged forward!
Li Jing flew backward, not intending to face Sun Wukong head - on. His Pagoda couldn't withstand a second battering. It was simpler to just invite Tang Seng to recite the spell!
In the eyes of the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong was no longer a threat. They could just arrest him!
Sun Wukong directly threw out the Ruyi Jingu Bang, using his magical power to watch as it knocked down the Heavenly Soldiers. They fell from the clouds like dumplings!
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, calm and collected, quietly waiting for his master to arrive!
If his master really recited the spell, he could leave without a shred of guilt and return to his Flower - Fruit Mountain!
Li Jing watched as his soldiers and generals fell one by one. He couldn't help but feel terrified. He knew Sun Wukong's strength all too well!
In terms of brute force, no one in the Heavenly Court was a match for him.
Thankfully, Tang Seng was quickly brought by the Heavenly Soldiers.
"Wukong!" A familiar voice sounded in his ear. Tang Seng was standing on the ground.
"Don't kill!" Looking at the Heavenly Soldiers falling from the clouds, Tang Seng clasped his hands together and couldn't stop trembling.
"Amitabha!" Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong who was slowly landing in front of him. His eyes were blood - red. "Didn't I tell you that as my disciple, the most taboo thing is to accumulate the sin of killing?"
"They're not dead. They've just fallen from the clouds and are seriously injured. Master, there's no need to be angry." His tone was calm. Looking down at Tang Seng from above, he was incredibly calm, as if there had never been those seven or eight years of day - and - night companionship between them.
"But you..." Looking at this unfamiliar Sun Wukong, Tang Seng was full of pain. Why had it come to this?
"They came to arrest me. They said it was bad enough that I fell in love with a woman, and they even slandered me for rallying the demon world and wanting to abandon the journey to the West. They're just scared and want to strike first." He looked directly at Tang Seng without a trace of emotion. "This Great Sage also has a temper. Otherwise, how could I have caused havoc in the Heavenly Court back then? Now, there's no need for you to waste your breath persuading me. Just make a decision directly. Are you going to recite the tightening - hoop spell or not?"
"Wukong..." He took a step forward. The Buddhist beads on his hand clinked crisply. He wanted to grab Sun Wukong. "If you explain it clearly and break it off cleanly with that girl, they..."
"Master," Sun Wukong took a step back, avoiding his hand. He hooked his lips into a smile, but his eyes were cold. "There's no need for persuasion. Your disciple understands all too well. Now it's your time to make a decision. They can't capture me. Unless you recite the tightening - hoop spell, they'll have to trouble the Bodhisattva to take action."
"..." Tang Seng frowned tightly, moving the Buddhist beads one by one. "So, you've already made your decision."
"Didn't I tell you about those underhanded deeds they did to make us go on the journey to obtain scriptures? Now they've gone even further and directly sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. If they had listened to my explanation at this moment, the Heavenly Soldiers wouldn't have appeared." Sun Wukong sneered. "Tang Seng is so intelligent. Don't tell me you've become stupid from chanting scriptures and can't even understand this?"
He didn't even call him master anymore. His attitude had changed drastically!
Not far away, Zhu Bajie got angry when he heard this. He pointed his finger and scolded, "Sun Wukong, that's our master!"
"We've been master and disciple for so long. It ends here. They're waiting for you to recite the spell. If you don't, I'll leave." He looked seriously at Tang Seng in front of him. This mortal monk must be in great pain because he had already started to doubt his own beliefs.
Yang Xue stood beside Sun Wukong, quietly watching the emotions in his eyes. She felt heartache.
There was clearly so much reluctance and helplessness in his eyes, but he just said such heartless words.
Tang Seng was a mortal, a stubborn monk whose endless nagging could drive Sun Wukong crazy. But they had traveled thousands of mountains and rivers and been together day and night for so many years. Sun Wukong's heart had already accepted this master.
If Tang Seng really recited the spell, he could leave cleanly and without any guilt.
"Tang Seng, recite the spell quickly. Sun Wukong is inherently stubborn and has long since lost his purity of heart. He wants to go back and be the Demon King. What are you waiting for!" Li Jing's voice echoed in the sky. He couldn't wait any longer!
"Master..." Zhu Bajie wanted his master to recite the spell, but he also thought the Heavenly Court was really hateful. They were so useless!
If they let the monkey charge into the Hall of Miraculous Mist again, it wasn't a bad idea!
"You can go." After a long while, Tang Seng opened his eyes and stopped what he was doing. "Take care."
Yang Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "Tang Seng is so handsome! He's truly the most good - looking monk in the Tang Dynasty. If the Great Sage hadn't already captured my heart, I would definitely marry you!"
"..." Sun Wukong's eyes widened in anger. He looked to the left into the void. He heard Yang Xue's voice, but he couldn't see her!
Looking at the others, it seemed they didn't hear it.
Could it be that only he could hear it?
"Great Sage, this master is okay. I'll definitely try to matchmake him with the Queen of the Daughter Country later."
Sun Wukong unclenched his fist. That was better.
The Great Sage was right here. After flirting with him for so long, if she dared to turn around and marry a monk, he would definitely kill this monk first!
"Tang Seng, how dare you defy the imperial order!" Li Jing shouted. "Arrest him!"
"Go quickly. They still need the pilgrim for the journey to obtain scriptures!" Tang Seng took a step forward. "Hurry!"
Sun Wukong suddenly hooked his lips, tilted his head back, leaped into the clouds, grabbed Li Jing's lapel, and rushed straight towards the Southern Heavenly Gate!
Yang Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "Great Sage is majestic!"
She was like a crazy fan and followed up. Trying her best to keep up with Sun Wukong's speed, experiencing the feeling of an arrow leaving the bowstring, she couldn't help but feel her blood boil!
Sun Wukong hooked his lips, but he was also worried that Yang Xue would get hurt. He couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to those behind him, "Don't follow. Be careful of getting accidentally injured!"
Li Jing felt the whistling wind in his ears and couldn't help but scold, "Sun Wukong, what are you grabbing me for!"
"Of course, it's to let you see again the grandeur of this Great Sage as I set foot on the Hall of Miraculous Mist again!" His tone was nonchalant and unruly, as if he was just saying that he wanted to eat Yangchun noodles tonight. In the blink of an eye, he stopped under the Southern Heavenly Gate!
"Go and invite the Avalokitesvara quickly. Why hasn't she come yet!" Li Jing took out his long spear and fought with Sun Wukong, trying to buy time!
"Don't be in a hurry. Let this Great Sage have some fun first!" He slowly raised the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
This time he was smarter. He silently recited the incantation in his mouth, then forcefully threw out the Ruyi Jingu Bang. His eyes were burning with golden light, and the corner of his mouth was curled up. He shouted arrogantly, "Go!"
"Since you don't believe in this Great Sage, then let you taste the power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang again!" Sun Wukong's voice spread throughout the entire Heavenly Court through his magical power. "Old Jade Emperor, watch out for your head!"
Yang Xue finally caught up. Witnessing this scene that was so captivating that people couldn't help but want to kneel and worship, she couldn't help but cry excitedly. "Great Sage, you're simply amazing! So causing havoc in the Heavenly Court is this cool. Oh my god, I'm actually in love with such a person... Wuwuwu... I'll die without regret!"
"Great Sage, I love you so much!"
"Great Sage, I'm going to kneel!"
"Great Sage is majestic! Great Sage, come on!"
She was so excited. She watched as the Ruyi Jingu Bang rammed forward, leaving broken walls and ruins wherever it went, and rushed straight towards the largest palace.
It seemed that he didn't want to cause too much destruction but was going straight for the Jade Emperor in the Hall of Miraculous Mist. It was really exhilarating!
