Chapter 580: 580

Zhu Bajie was indeed straightforward. When Sun Wukong asked him to swear an oath with his lifeblood essence, it essentially showed his lack of trust in him. But Zhu Bajie wasn’t annoyed and took the oath decisively, with an extremely sincere attitude. Sun Wukong nodded silently, impressed by the fool’s decisiveness at a critical moment!

“Bajie, now that you have taken such a serious oath, I, Old Sun, will no longer keep you in the dark. Just as you said, your master Jiang Liu’er, your eldest martial brother Yuan Hong, and junior martial brother White Dragon Ao Lie are all part of my Flower-Fruit Mountain. After the successful completion of our scripture-seeking journey, you may keep thirty percent of the merit and destiny, and the remaining seventy percent will go to me, Old Sun. Whatever cultivation resources you need, Flower-Fruit Mountain will provide. When the time comes, you can go directly to Flower-Fruit Mountain to cultivate. I, Old Sun, can guarantee that neither the Heavenly Court nor the Buddhist Sect will dare to cause trouble!”

“Yes, thank you, Great Saint!”

Zhu Bajie was overjoyed. The conditions that Sun Wukong offered were extremely generous!

Zhu Bajie was banished to the mortal world. At first, he truly believed it was because he got too close to Fairy Chang’er, which incurred the Jade Emperor’s displeasure, leading to his demotion. But he gradually realized that wasn’t the case at all; he was just a pawn being used, a tool for the Jade Emperor to complete the Journey to the West to seize the Heavenly Dao’s merit and destiny.

Sun Wukong was right. After completing his quest for scriptures, the Buddhist Sect should grant him a True Fruition rank, but so what? He was originally the commander of the Heavenly River Navy, with eight hundred thousand troops. Would the Buddhist Sect allow him to command eight hundred thousand Buddhist soldiers? It would be good enough if the True Fruition rank they gave him could even match the status of Marshal Tianpeng!

As for the merit and destiny he would obtain then, the Jade Emperor would probably take it all away, leaving not a bit for him!

When he thought about it, after all the hard work in seeking scriptures, he went from the handsome and dashing Marshal Tianpeng to this fat and ugly pig demon. In the end, what benefit would he gain? It was all for nothing, making wedding clothes for the Jade Emperor. Why should he?

It was precisely because of this unwillingness in his heart that Zhu Bajie chose to pledge loyalty to Sun Wukong. In Flower-Fruit Mountain, the members of the Demon Clan loved each other like a family. Although there was a hierarchy, there was no absolute distinction between noble and low. No one would arbitrarily deprive others of their lives or freedom. Zhu Bajie heard of this when he was still Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng. Compared with Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Heavenly Court was simply a huge prison. Why not escape as soon as possible?

“Bajie, that Sandy Monk is a great general of the Jade Emperor’s personal guards. He appears to be blunt and honest, but I fear he has the most scheming thoughts. You absolutely must not reveal your pledge of loyalty to Flower-Fruit Mountain to him. You also need to find an appropriate opportunity to communicate with Jiang Liu’er, Yuan Hong, and Ao Lie. Take care not to let him see through us; otherwise, it would ruin Old Sun’s grand plans. Do you understand?”

Sun Wukong warned Zhu Bajie, peering into people’s hearts through their eyes. Despite Sandy’s seemingly honest appearance, Sun Wukong noticed the occasional flash of keenness in his eyes several times. He was definitely not as blunt as he appeared!

And as a great general of the Jade Emperor’s personal guards, who knew if the Jade Emperor had given Sandy any instructions when he was banished? Sun Wukong did not want to see his efforts ruined by underestimating Sandy.

“Old Pig understands. Rest assured, Great Saint. I will find an opportunity to test Sandy’s intentions and will not reveal anything to him easily!”

Zhu Bajie nodded his head; he also realized that Sandy was not as simple as he pretended to be—he just had always played dumb.

Sun Wukong gave Zhu Bajie a cultivation technique, which was much better than the Dharma Method he had been practicing. Zhu Bajie happily thanked him and went on his way, while Sun Wukong changed his route and headed toward the new cave dwelling of the Great Witch Jiu Feng and Demon God Bai Ze in the Southern Continent.

The altar in the original Mount Jiu Feng had been destroyed, and the Two Realms’ channel to the Demonic Realm had also been sealed. In theory, the Demon Race should not appear in the Three Realms again. But the current situation was that the Demon Race had reappeared and was aware of Jiang Liu’er and others’ whereabouts, setting a trap in advance, which surely meant a new Two Realms’ channel had been opened!

The only thing Sun Wukong could think of was the new cave dwelling of the Great Witch Jiu Feng and Demon God Bai Ze. Besides them, it seemed no one else had the ability, nor motive, to rebuild an altar.

Sun Wukong’s conjecture was proven correct as he approached the outer boundary of the new cave dwelling’s mountain range. From afar, Sun Wukong could sense threads of demonic qi diffusing from within the mountains; this place was certainly the exit of the Two Realms’ channel.

“Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!”

With a single thought, Sun Wukong activated the Void-Breaking Divine Eye to its fourth phase, the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, and looked toward the mountain range. A larger altar than the original appeared in his vision, and on it, the entryway to the portal between the Demon Realm and the Mortal World had mostly stabilized. The wisps of Demonic Qi were seeping out from it.

“This damned fool, true to his nature to the end! Brother Kunpeng was right; I was too soft-hearted back then, I never should have let her go!”

A cold light flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes. Great Witch Jiu Feng had made up her mind to collaborate with Demon Ancestor Lou Hu and cross Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult!

“Since that’s how it is, your venerable Wukong here will today pull the rug out from under you!”

He pulled the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod from behind his ear and flew toward the mountain range. Two golden lights shot from the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, and all the barriers he encountered along the way were silently and effortlessly dissolved.

Swiftly, Sun Wukong arrived above the altar where the portal between the two realms was located. Powerful presences were sensed not far to the east and west atop the mountain peaks – it was Great Witch Jiu Feng and Demon God Bai Ze. They really had joined forces!

“Hmph! After one altar is destroyed, you just build another. You do have some resilience! Your venerable Wukong wants to see if you’ll build yet another!”

“Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, grow!”

With a low shout, the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in Sun Wukong’s hand suddenly extended, one end becoming as thick as a Heavenly Pillar, and he fiercely brought it down on the altar.

First destroy this altar, then we’ll see.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed, the barrier above the altar shattered in succession, and the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod heavily struck the altar, immediately splitting it into pieces.

“Someone has broken into the valley!”

The Great Witch Jiu Feng and Demon God Bai Ze, who had been meditating in the cave dwelling, were jolted awake and flashed into the valley. At a glance, they saw the altar and the earth veins beneath it shattered to pieces. Instantly, the eyes of Great Witch Jiu Feng turned red, her gaze dead-set on the figure in midair that haunted her dreams with enmity.

“Sun! Wukong!”

The low roar, filled with boundless killing intent as if coming from the Nine Nether, reverberated word by word. Great Witch Jiu Feng’s eyes overflowed with murderous intent toward Sun Wukong, wishing she could tear him into a million pieces immediately, “You’ve gone too far!”
