CHAPTER 1132: CHAPTER 352: TIAN WU’S DEATH (PART 4)

The two entered the Senior Commander-in-Chief’s Divine Temple.

...

Just as Sun Wukong and the others finished healing Chenxiang and Nu Ba, they heard Ji Meng’s proclamation.

This left everyone looking at each other in dismay.

Originally, they intended to confront Emperor Jun, but he used this method to inform the Heavenly Court and Sun Wukong that this matter had nothing to do with them.

Since Emperor Jun had said this, even Sun Wukong couldn’t go looking for trouble at this time.

Otherwise, it would seem like deliberately causing trouble.

"Is it true or false? Why would Emperor Jun do this?"

Lu Dongbin frowned, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

The two sides were already enemies, so what difference would Emperor Jun’s silence make?

Sun Wukong might at most attack and kill some of his subordinates, which would not pose a real threat to Emperor Jun and his people.

But with Emperor Jun’s statement, the situation changed.

Everyone would think that Emperor Jun was afraid of Sun Wukong.

This, in turn, would put Emperor Jun’s side in a passive position.

Considering Emperor Jun’s intelligence, he shouldn’t make such a mistake.

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

This did not match Emperor Jun’s identity and character, naturally arousing suspicion.

Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed sharply, and he coldly said, "It’s just a smokescreen. Whether he concedes or not shouldn’t prevent him from attracting strong beings or the Living Beings, so he doesn’t worry about it. Acting like this only makes us overthink, making us hesitate when dealing with him, thinking he’s planning some terrible strategy."

Everyone looked at each other, but had to admit that what Sun Wukong said was quite reasonable.

They also felt that perhaps Emperor Jun was just laying a smokescreen.

"Forget it, let’s ignore him for now and kill the Wood God first."

Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed coldly.

He said to Yang Jian, "Brother, mobilize the Heavenly Court’s power to find the Wood God’s whereabouts. We must eliminate him. This guy is a troublemaker, and we won’t have peace until he’s caught."

"Rest assured, I’ll make the arrangements immediately."

Yang Jian said solemnly.

The Wood God’s actions had crossed his line.

For someone with a strong attachment to his sister, hurting Lady San Shengmu was an unforgivable matter that drove him to the brink of fury.

Sun Wukong said no more.

He scolded Chenxiang, "Fool."

Chenxiang froze slightly, not expecting his master would suddenly scold him.

He instinctively glanced at Yang Jian.

But Yang Jian, who usually loved him dearly, now pretended he had seen and heard nothing.

Since Sun Wukong became Chenxiang’s master, any matters involving his education were naturally for Sun Wukong to handle.

Chenxiang knelt directly before Sun Wukong, though his face was full of confusion.

He didn’t know where he had gone wrong.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Sun Wukong’s face grew even colder.

"What’s more important, Mount Hua or your family?"

Sun Wukong asked.

Without thinking, Chenxiang immediately replied, "Naturally, family is more important. No famous mountain or blessed land can compare to family."

"Then why stubbornly resist instead of yielding Mount Hua? Do you think two top Heavenly Venerates can’t kill you? Or that the Supreme won’t dare to take action against you?"

Sun Wukong continued to ask.

Chenxiang was rendered speechless,

At the time, he was too angered to make the right choice.

Now, hearing Sun Wukong’s words, he suddenly seemed to wake from a dream.

"So what if you abandoned Mount Hua? You could go to the Heavenly Court to find your uncle, or come to Old Sun. Either one could help you reclaim Mount Hua. Why risk your life needlessly? Such brainless actions are not something Old Sun wants to see again. Otherwise, Old Sun might as well consider you not his disciple."

Sun Wukong spoke harshly, even considering expelling Chenxiang from his tutelage.

This was no joke; it came from his heart.

Only those who assess the situation correctly and make the right choices can survive long in the Three Realms.

Acting like Chenxiang can harm both oneself and others.

Even Nu Ba was injured because of this, and Sun Wukong naturally felt anger.

Chenxiang shuddered, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.

"Master, I recognize my mistake."

Only then did Sun Wukong’s expression slightly soften.

"Stand up, relying on yourself is good, but ignoring help when faced with unsolvable problems is true foolishness. I hope you won’t make such mistakes again."

"I understand."

Chenxiang expressed his understanding.
