Chapter 711 -712: Stop Insisting? (3rd Update!)
“Given up? You won’t hold on a bit longer?”
Sun Wukong was startled; the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit had given up too quickly. He had planned to move him with reason, enlighten him with emotion, and compel him by power to submit, but unexpectedly, the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit had caved straight away!
“I won’t hold on, I won’t hold on!”
All nine heads of the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit blinked collectively, “Great Saint’s might is unmatched; I am truly inferior!”
“Just hold on a bit longer, hold out a bit before admitting defeat!”
Sun Wukong urged.
“No, no, not holding on!”
The Nine-Headed Lion Spirit blinked frantically, and had it not been for the Power of the Great Dao holding him down, immobilizing him, he would have been shaking his head desperately.
“Really won’t reconsider?”
Sun Wukong attempted to persuade the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit further.
“I won’t reconsider, I admit defeat! I only ask that the Great Saint spares me this one time!”
The Nine-Headed Lion Spirit was utterly resolute, causing Sun Wukong to sigh disappointedly, “Alright then, since you’re so determined, I won’t press you anymore! Swear an oath!”
“An oath? What oath?”
The Nine-Headed Lion Spirit was taken aback.
“Of course, the new Demon Blood Oath of everlasting allegiance to the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult! Or did you think just admitting your error and submitting verbally would be enough for Old Sun to let you off that easily?”
Sun Wukong looked at the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit as if he were an idiot, “Hey, you’re an old demon yourself, surely you don’t need Old Sun to remind you, right? Hurry up, make the vow, join Flower-Fruit Mountain, promise to never betray, and Old Sun will let you go; otherwise, I’ll crush you into dust!”
Sun Wukong had realized that the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit was typically of the type who bullies the weak but fears the strong; dealing straightforwardly with him was far more effective than trying to placate him softly, straightforward and simple, no need to beat around the bush!
“Great Saint, this is coercion!”
The Nine-Headed Lion Spirit was almost crying; the rumors throughout the Three Realms that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, was magnanimous and always generous, were all nonsense? Was this what magnanimity looked like? Without swearing allegiance, he would be killed; it was outright robbery! freeweɓnovel.cѳm
“Coercion? It does seem a bit so!”
Sun Wukong stroked his chin, pondering for a while. The Nine-Headed Lion Spirit’s eyes brightened, thinking Sun Wukong had been persuaded by his words, about to say something more to completely change Sun Wukong’s mind, but then he saw Sun Wukong waving his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod twice and muttering to himself,
“Coercion is indeed not nice, I’ve decided, let’s not force the oath, might as well just kill you outright!”
“What?”
The Nine-Headed Lion Spirit was utterly confused; wasn’t this the same thing? Not swearing an oath meant being killed?
Hum~!
The three Great Daos behind Sun Wukong suddenly shook, and instantly the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit felt the pressure on him doubling, his bones creaking, about to be crushed!
“I swear, I swear, Great Saint spare my life!”
Desperately resisting the pressure, the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit began to wail.
“Didn’t you say this is coercion?”
Sun Wukong blinked, “Better not to force it then, Old Sun isn’t used to forcing people!”
“Not forcing! Not forcing at all, this is all voluntarily! I truly wish to join Flower-Fruit Mountain, really!”
The Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er said tearfully, “The Great Saint truly is capricious, if he doesn’t agree soon I’ll really be crushed by the power of the Great Dao!”
Better to live a poor life than a good death; having cultivated to this realm, dying like this would be too wrongful!
“Well, since you are so sincere, it would be rather inconsiderate of old Sun not to agree!”
With a demeanor that suggested old Sun always tended towards generosity, Sun Wukong nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll grant your wish, take the oath!”
“Grant your big head’s wish!”
The Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er cursed silently, but daring not show a hint of it, obediently made the blood oath of the heart demon as Sun Wukong had said, agreeing to join Flower-Fruit Mountain and never betray it.
Sun Wukong’s face suddenly brightened up, as he retracted the three Great Dao behind him. The Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er exhaled a huge sigh of relief and quickly transformed into human form, bowing respectfully to Sun Wukong. His original form was too massive, appearing disrespectful in front of Sun Wukong, and now that he was going to be dependent on someone else for sustenance, it was sensible to be aware of such things.
“Alright, alright, we at Flower-Fruit Mountain don’t have so many formalities, a simple nod will do in the future.”
Sun Wukong waved his hand to help the Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er up, “Old Nine! From now on we’re family. If you need help with anything, just talk to old Sun. I’ll definitely not turn you away!”
“Thanks, Great Sage…Great Sage…”
The Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er’s eyes flickered with emotion. Just as he was about to request something, suddenly a booming voice descended from the sky, “Yuan Sheng’er, I am here!”
The Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er’s face immediately changed, his body went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. Sun Wukong’s expression darkened: “Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering, Heavenly Venerate!”
The person was indeed Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering, Heavenly Venerate. His mount, the Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er, was about to be whisked away by Sun Wukong; of course, he would not sit idly by!
Whoosh!
Sun Wukong waved his hand and cast a barrier, enveloping the Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er. In a flash, he soared up high into the sky to face Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering, Heavenly Venerate.
“Old Sun was wondering who it could be—it’s Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering Heavenly Venerate! May I know the purpose of your visit?”
Sun Wukong looked at Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering, Heavenly Venerate with a playful expression on his face.
“Great Saint!”
Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering, Heavenly Venerate performed a respectful salute and smiled lightly, “I am here to take back my mount, Yuan Sheng’er.”
“Yuan Sheng’er? Who’s that?”
Sun Wukong feigned ignorance.
“It’s the Nine-Headed Lion Spirit below.”
Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering, Heavenly Venerate pointed towards the Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er below and said, “I am here to retrieve my mount, the Great Sage surely won’t stop me, right?”
“Of course, of course, if it’s Heavenly Venerate’s mount, old Sun naturally won’t stop you!”
There was no sign of surprise on Sun Wukong’s face; he had anticipated that Taiyi, the Saver from Suffering, Heavenly Venerate would interfere and had prepared a strategy accordingly.
Without moving, an external incarnation quietly emerged from his body and flew towards the ground, coming up behind the Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er. He then set up another isolating array and placed his palm on the back of the Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er, injecting Chaos Primordial Force into him.
“Great Saint, what are you doing…”
The Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er was shocked. He felt the master-servant contract mark within him beginning to loosen—it was the Chaos Primordial Force from Sun Wukong’s external incarnation that was refining the mark!
“Shush! Don’t speak! Old Sun’s main body is keeping that Heavenly Venerate busy. Just stand still, I’ll help you break this master-servant contract!”
Sun Wukong’s external incarnation transmitted messages, continuing to increase the input of Chaos Primordial Force, and set about dissolving the master-servant contract within the Nine-Tailed Yuan Sheng’er.
