777: Chapter 777: Lingxiao Hall Begins the Slaughter (10th Update)
Sun Wukong had always been very obedient to Jiang Liu’s words.
Of course, the biggest reason was that Jiang Liu’s words were all meant for his own good, and furthermore, his master’s considerations were even more thorough.
Over the years, Jiang Liu’s actions had also earned the trust of Sun Wukong and the others.
Therefore, Sun Wukong was very obedient to Jiang Liu’s words.
Although hearing about Fairy Zixia and the Six-Eared Macaque hugging made Sun Wukong’s heart burn with rage,
his master was right; Fairy Zixia wasn’t to blame for the incident.
Moreover, it was better for him alone to know this matter, rather than both of them.
After nodding, having understood these matters, Sun Wukong leapt up and flew directly towards the Heavenly Court, returning once more to Lingxiao Hall. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Jade Emperor, your Vermilion Pen has run out, and I am now returning it to you!” Sun Wukong spoke, addressing the Jade Emperor.
“That quickly?”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, all the immortals in Lingxiao Hall were secretly astonished.
Indeed, Sun Wukong’s travel, back and forth on his Somersault Cloud, hadn’t taken much time; it was mainly Randeng Buddha’s painting that took some time after all.
Thus, from the time Sun Wukong borrowed the Vermilion Pen to returning it, not much time had been spent.
“Since it’s used up, I, Old Sun, naturally returned it immediately, since, Jade Emperor, you have many matters to handle with this pen; I, Old Sun, understand!” While saying flattering words on the surface, Sun Wukong had also learned how to speak properly now.
“Hmm, not bad, not bad, this monkey is indeed getting more sensible!” The words of Sun Wukong made the Great Jade Emperor stroke his long beard, nodding his head in satisfaction.
“Right, Jade Emperor, where is the Six-Eared Macaque?” After returning the Vermilion Pen to the Jade Emperor, Sun Wukong followed up with a curious question.
The Six-Eared Macaque, who had been critically injured and unconscious up and down in Lingxiao Hall, was now nowhere to be seen.
“The Six-Eared Macaque was too severely injured, so I had him taken away for treatment; once he is revived, we shall interrogate him,” the Jade Emperor replied.
“Jade Emperor, I, Old Sun, have a healing potion that can guarantee he’ll wake up with one bottle; why don’t you bring him back?” Hearing the Jade Emperor’s response, Sun Wukong took out a bottle of Healing Potion and spoke.
The Healing Potion that Sun Wukong produced instantly drew everyone’s attention!
Was this the Divine Medicine that allowed Sun Wukong to instantly recover from his injuries during his battle with Master Leizhen?
Using such a potion to stabilize the condition of the Six-Eared Macaque?
Wouldn’t that be a bit too wasteful?
“Jade Emperor?”
Holding the Healing Potion in hand, Sun Wukong, seeing the Jade Emperor silent, couldn’t help but call out.
“Oh, since you, monkey, are willing to use this potion, nothing could be better!” Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Jade Emperor thought for a moment and was indeed willing to witness the remarkable effects of the healing potion, so he nodded and said.
Immediately, he ordered someone to bring the Six-Eared Macaque back.
In just a moment, the Six-Eared Macaque, still in a critically injured and unconscious state, was carried over by two Divine Power Warriors.
“Alright, alright, you go away, don’t disturb I, Old Sun!” Seeing the unconscious Six-Eared Macaque being carried over, Sun Wukong stepped forward and waved his hand, ordering the two Divine Power Warriors to leave.
The words of Sun Wukong naturally weren’t disregarded by the two Divine Power Warriors, who each withdrew quite a bit.
Looking at the stretcher on which the Six-Eared Macaque lay unconscious, Sun Wukong’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Immediately, he reached into his ear with a hand, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel appeared in Sun Wukong’s hand, transforming directly into an iron rod.
Wait!?
Wasn’t Sun Wukong going to save him?
Why did he suddenly take out the iron rod?
Seeing Sun Wukong’s actions, all the immortals in Lingxiao Hall were dumbfounded and puzzled.
“Monkey, hold on!” Nezha reacted quickly and shouted at Sun Wukong.
However, to Nezha’s shouts, Sun Wukong paid no heed, raised the iron rod in his hand, and directly smashed it down.
In an instant, the Six-Eared Macaque, still unconscious, had its head smashed in by Sun Wukong, naturally dead beyond death.
“Rascal Monkey, how audacious!
To dare to commit violence in front of the Jade Emperor!” Li Jing, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but shout loudly.
“Why, why is this happening?” Seeing Sun Wukong’s action, the immortals in Lingxiao Hall were even more baffled and looked at each other in dismay.
Suddenly, Sun Wukong returned to Lingxiao Hall just to kill the Six-Eared Macaque?
Why?
If Sun Wukong wanted to kill him, why bother bringing the unconscious Six-Eared Macaque to Lingxiao Hall?
But since he brought him back, why then commit violence in front of the Jade Emperor!?
“Rascal Monkey!” The Jade Emperor was also stunned for a moment, then, looking furious, he spoke sharply.
“Please punish me, Jade Emperor!” After smashing the Six-Eared Macaque to death with his staff, Sun Wukong put away the Golden Hoop, and then assumed a stance ready for any punishment.
“Someone!
This Rascal Monkey is acting arrogantly and unbridled!
Seize him…” The Great Jade Emperor felt his face couldn’t hold up at that moment and commanded aloud.
“Jade Emperor, wait!”
As soon as the Jade Emperor’s voice echoed, Nezha hurriedly stepped forward two steps, and said, “Although Sun Wukong often acts perversely, it was he who captured the Six-Eared Macaque!
If he wanted to kill, he would have killed the Six-Eared Macaque long ago; there must be a compelling reason behind his action!”
“Indeed, Great Jade Emperor!
The Great Saint must have his own compelling reasons!
Please discern wisely!” Kuimu Wolf, standing by, nodded in agreement and spoke.
“Please discern wisely, Great Jade Emperor!” Everyone knew that the Jade Emperor just needed a way out at this moment, so they unanimously spoke up.
Moreover, everyone was no fool; previously, Sun Wukong had not killed anyone and had left after borrowing the Vermilion Pen.
But upon his return this time, he suddenly lashed out and killed the Six-Eared Macaque—there must be some secrets behind it.
What exactly are they?
The immortals in the Lingxiao Hall grew extremely curious.
A look of unabated fury remained on the face of the Great Jade Emperor.
As the ruler of the Three Realms, being deceived by Sun Wukong was naturally a blow to his dignity.
To kill was to kill, but to deceptively claim he wanted to resuscitate someone with a Healing Potion first?
After believing him, he then suddenly turned violent?
As the Great Jade Emperor, did he not care about his dignity?
Fortunately, at this time, the immortals of the Lingxiao Hall collectively spoke up to plead for Sun Wukong, making sense in their arguments.
Now with a way out, the Jade Emperor forced down his anger, his gaze landing on Sun Wukong, and said, “Rascal Monkey, the immortals make a good point.
You are so unpredictable—what exactly is the reason?
I give you a chance to explain!”
“There is no reason!
Sun Wukong is willing to accept the Jade Emperor’s punishment!” bowing his head, Sun Wukong replied.
Are you kidding?
The Six-Eared Macaque impersonating him, cuddling with Fairy Zixia—could he ever admit to such a thing?
Not to mention he promised his master not to speak of it; even if he hadn’t promised, could he ever admit to wearing such a shameful green cap for life?
Being a Stable Attendant was already a lifelong shame.
This Green Cap, even if worn, must surely never be known to others!
Jade Emperor: “…”
His mentality was a bit explosive!
He had finally had a way out and also provided this rascal monkey a way out as long as he gave a plausible reason.
Wouldn’t that have made everyone happy?
But what about him?
Stiff-necked, not looking for excuses, allowing himself to be punished at will!
It’s sad that he previously thought this monkey had grown a bit, understanding more about human sentiments and worldly affairs.
It seems it was all an illusion!
He recalled the incident where Sun Wukong killed the Star Monarch of
Warring States, and he had also asked him to explain.
Sun Wukong had the same attitude back then: no explanation, no reason, just take the punishment.
The same old formula, the same old flavor.
“Fine!
Since you have no reason to explain!
Then, do not blame me for being unkind!” the Great Jade Emperor said in anger.
In the midst of speaking, after silently pondering for a moment, he then turned his head and his gaze fell on the Supreme Elder Lord, and said, “Supreme Elder Lord, punish him by confining him in your Alchemy Furnace for forty-nine days of seven cycles.”
The Great Jade Emperor knew Sun Wukong well; previously, the punishment of eighty-one beatings with a rod was nothing to someone who possessed a Vajra Indestructible Body like Sun Wukong.
The so-called punishment was nothing more than a mere formality.
But this time, confining Sun Wukong in the Eight Trigrams Furnace for forty-nine days of seven cycles was much more grueling for the restless Sun Wukong than a beating!
It was clear that the Great Jade Emperor was truly incensed this time!
“Yes, your majesty!” Hearing the Jade Emperor’s words, the Supreme Elder Lord nodded slightly and spoke.
As he spoke, the Supreme Elder Lord took Sun Wukong and left for his Doushuai Palace.
Above the Lingxiao Hall, Nezha and Kuimu Wolf of course also knew that this punishment was going to be tough for Sun Wukong.
Opening their mouths, they still wanted to plead for leniency.
However, seeing the angry expression of the Jade Emperor, Nezha and Kuimu Wolf thought better of it and let out a sigh internally.
Alright, it seems, pleading was utterly useless and might even displease the Jade Emperor, so there was no point in continuing it.
This time, the monkey had indeed gone too far, committing a murder right in front of the Jade Emperor, even attempting to deceive him first.
Forty-nine days of seven cycles in confinement would be a moderate chastisement.
The Supreme Elder Lord, taking Sun Wukong away, directly thrust him into the Eight Trigrams Furnace and, with a slight movement of his mind, immediately cast the furnace into the Mortal World.
Waiting for the forty-nine days of seven cycles in the Mortal World to pass.
Sun Wukong received the punishment he deserved, but meanwhile, the numerous immortals of the Heavenly Court quietly started discussing among themselves.
Why did Sun Wukong suddenly lash out and kill the Six-Eared Macaque?
To say there was no reason?
That was impossible!
But what exactly prompted him?
That Sun Wukong would rather endure forty-nine days of seven cycles in confinement than reveal it?
