CHAPTER 1154: CHAPTER 358: TAKING ACTION, BESIEGING JI MENG

They continued provoking certain sects, even going as far as challenging some reclusive loose cultivators.

Some people endured silently all the way, almost spitting blood out of anger, yet did not make a move.

These are the truly wise ones, who understand Ji Meng and his team’s intentions.

If they really signed the battle letter, their lives and deaths wouldn’t be in their own hands.

Some others, in a fit of rage, signed the battle letter, but the outcome was tragic.

They were no match for Ji Meng and his group, and died with grievances unvented.

In the Three Realms, everyone is in constant fear.

Especially among the Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms, there is a greater concern that Ji Meng and his team would target them any moment.

Only the Immortals and Buddhas of the Heavenly Court are less worried.

However, some Primordial Gods and Demons allied with the Heavenly Court still suffered calamities.

This shocked many people, for what Emperor Jun did seemed like a provocation against all under heaven.

Outside Huaguo Mountain, over a thousand immortals gathered.

They knelt on the vault of heaven outside Huaguo Mountain, their expressions filled with grief and indignation.

"Please, Great Saint, stand up for us!"

Li Yang spoke, knowing very well that the only one who could aid him now was Sun Wukong.

The Heavenly Court cannot be relied upon, as it cannot contravene the rules it has set.

However, though Sun Wukong has close ties with the Heavenly Court, he is not a strongman of the Heavenly Court.

Most importantly, Sun Wukong is incredibly powerful, not weaker than the Judicial Deity.

He has killed more than one Supreme before. If Sun Wukong is willing to get involved, there is a high chance they can take revenge or at least kill some of their enemies.

Li Yang and his group were also clear that the main instigator behind all this was indeed Emperor Jun.

But they dared not dream of killing Emperor Jun, or even think about killing Ji Meng and his team; they only wished to annihilate Ji Meng’s minions, which would satisfy them.

Immortals are a type of people very much aware of their limits.

Fan Yao appeared, glancing over the crowd, recognizing many familiar faces, some of whom she had good relations with in the past.

Li Yang was one of them.

"Li Yang, the Great Saint asked me to inquire what happened exactly? Why do you seek him at Huaguo Mountain?"

Seeing Fan Yao step out, Li Yang was delighted.

Having someone familiar makes things easier.

However, thinking of his deceased fellow disciples, Li Yang felt no joy at all.

He recounted the events to Fan Yao.

Fan Yao’s face changed drastically, observing the thousands of immortals before her, at least coming from over dozens of different sects.

Ji Meng and his team are excessively brutal.

"I will inform the Great Saint."

Fan Yao said immediately.

Li Yang and his group felt relieved, seeing from Fan Yao’s attitude that she truly understood what transpired and was shocked, ready to relay to the Great Sage the situation.

Now, they only hope that the Great Sage Sun Wukong is as in the legends, hating evil like it was personal, with a fiery temperament.

Only then could he help them take revenge, to defeat Ji Meng and his cohort.

Sun Wukong appeared before them with a somber face.

His gaze swept over Li Yang and his group, Sun Wukong said: "I, Old Sun, know what happened. You should leave for now."

If it were someone else saying this, Li Yang and the others certainly wouldn’t be willing.

But facing Sun Wukong, for some reason, Li Yang and his group dared not defy him in the slightest.

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, they obediently stood up, turned, and left without hesitation.

It wasn’t until they were far away from Huaguo Mountain that they realized something was off and came to their senses.

"Why did we leave?"

"Yes, what did the Great Saint say just now?"

"He gave us no answer, just told us to go."

...

All the immortals talked amongst themselves, but none dared to return.

For some unknown reason, facing Yang Jian, though they felt pressured, they still dared to speak.

Facing Sun Wukong, they dared not act against his will even a tiny bit.

Moreover, everyone had a feeling that if they dared to defy Sun Wukong’s will, he would have no hesitation in erasing them.

Don’t forget, before ascending to heaven, Sun Wukong was one of the Seven Great Saints of the Demon Clan.

"We choose to trust the Great Saint. The Great Saint will surely give us an explanation."

Li Yang said.

He appeared full of confidence in Sun Wukong, but within his heart, there was not much certainty.

Would Sun Wukong clash head-on with Ji Meng and his group for their sake?

After all, Ji Meng and others were Gods from Ancient Times.

Moreover, they are subordinates of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Jun.

To offend Emperor Jun for these strangers seems an unprofitable deal no matter how one looks at it.

Through these thoughts, they had a mind to return to ask Sun Wukong what he meant.

But, none dared to do so.

"Let’s see how things unfold. Even if the Great Sage does not act, I do not believe the Heavenly Court will allow all the immortals in the world to be slaughtered."

Li Yang said in a solemn voice.

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. For now, this was the only plan.

After all, Sun Wukong is not the Heavenly Court, having no responsibility or obligation to step up for them.

If he does not act, the immortals cannot demand anything of him.

They also believe the Heavenly Court will not stand idly by in the end.

What Ji Meng and his team have done is too much; the Heavenly Court will definitely intervene, it’s just a matter of time.

Currently, the Heavenly Court is seeking an opportunity.

"I have an idea, actually."

Said the Celestial Immortal from the Seeking Immortal Sect.

The crowd directed their puzzled eyes toward him.

The Celestial Immortal from Seeking Immortal Sect gritted his teeth and said: "The Heavenly Court is just lacking a reason to intervene. If we select some people to deliberately create conflicts with Ji Meng’s subordinates, they only need to try to kill us, and the Heavenly Court will have an excuse to act."

"Those selected people, aren’t they doomed."

The immortals were taken aback.

They knew this was a sound approach.

But, definitely life-threatening.
