175: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _2 175: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _2 “This is the Jade Emperor’s decree; there is absolutely no possibility of it being forged.”

“What does it say inside?”

A wave of curiosity arose in everyone’s hearts.

The colour of Great Emperor Ziwei’s face changed; he hadn’t expected the other party to still have this move up their sleeve.

He was very clear in his heart that this naturally wasn’t any sort of last will of the Jade Emperor because the Jade Emperor had not even died.

The Jade Emperor must have sensed his own ambition and specifically condensed this decree to prevent him from making Amitabha Buddha the Lord of the Buddhist Realm.

His thoughts raced, but he was somewhat unsure of what to do next.

If King Lingguan read out the contents of the decree, his conferment ceremony this time would probably become a joke.

Just then, a gleam of light flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes; he suddenly made a move and reached for the decree.

King Lingguan had not expected Sun Wukong to dare to intercept the decree.

By the time he was ready to react, the decree had already landed in Sun Wukong’s hands.

King Lingguan’s complexion instantly changed, and he shouted, “Rascal Monkey, stop being presumptuous and return the Jade Emperor’s decree to me.”

Wukong sneered, weighing it in his hand, and said coldly, “What Jade Emperor’s decree?

It’s a fake.

If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you.”

Before the shocked eyes of the crowd, Sun Wukong exerted force in his hands.

Crack.

The decree was directly crushed by him, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating, leaving nothing behind.

Sun Wukong sneered, saying disdainfully, “I told you it was fake.

The Jade Emperor’s decree contains His Supreme Mana; how could it be so easily crushed by someone?

King Lingguan, you’re up to mischief again.”

The Immortal Clan were dumbfounded, and the strong ones from the Buddhist Sect were left speechless.

Who would have thought that Sun Wukong would use such a method?

King Lingguan’s face turned bright red, his hand trembling as he pointed at Sun Wukong.

“You…”

Sun Wukong’s expression darkened as he coldly said, “What about me?

What are you going to do about it?”

A fierce light twinkled in Wukong’s eyes, fixing King Lingguan with a stare, ready to make a move at any moment.

Great Emperor Ziwei’s previously tense expression instantly relaxed, and with a faint smile, he said, “King Lingguan, what is this?

Falsely transmitting a Jade Emperor’s decree is already a transgression.

Now that the Great Saint has exposed you, do you still intend to fight with the Great Saint?”

A shiver ran through King Lingguan’s heart; he could not afford to be saddled with the crime of false transmission of the Jade Emperor’s decree.

If that were the case, both Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Ziwei would have ample reason to kill him.

With a cold laugh, King Lingguan indifferently said, “Lucky for me, the Jade Emperor gave me two decrees.

You’ve destroyed one, but I still have another.”

The smile on Great Emperor Ziwei’s face froze.

Sun Wukong was also surprised; the Jade Emperor truly lived up to being the most scheming fellow.

He had prepared for all contingencies.

As King Lingguan reached into his robe, Sun Wukong scoffed, “King Lingguan, once you falsely transmitted the Jade Emperor’s decree, we could forgive you.

I didn’t expect you to be incorrigible.

Such a reckless ruffian cannot be left alive.”

After speaking, Sun Wukong immediately drew the Jingu Bang from his ear and smashed it towards King Lingguan.

Even when he had been a Celestial Immortal, King Lingguan was no match for him.

Now that Sun Wukong had become a Heavenly Venerate and King Lingguan was also a Heavenly Venerate, there was no way he could compare to Sun Wukong.

He hastily dodged, but Sun Wukong followed closely, and the Golden Hoop was almost upon him.

“Lady save me!”

King Lingguan shouted.

A glint flashed in Lady Houtu’s eyes, about to take action.

Instead, Great Emperor Ziwei released his qi, blocking Lady Houtu.

With a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, he said, “Lady Houtu, what is the meaning of this?

The Great Sage Equalling Heaven is disciplining someone who falsely transmitted the Jade Emperor’s decree; could it be that you intend to interfere?”

Lady Houtu’s expression darkened slightly as she calmly replied, “Whether it is false transmission of a decree, you know the truth in your heart; there’s no need to say such things.”

“So you mean to say King Lingguan’s decree is real?”

Great Emperor Ziwei raised an eyebrow.

A smirk crept across his lips as he murmured ominously, “Or are you saying the Jade Emperor has not passed away, and this is a decree he has just written?”

The host of Immortals and Buddhas were in an uproar; should the Jade Emperor be alive, things would get lively.

The proclaimed death of the Jade Emperor had caused chaos in the Three Realms, with countless lives perishing and widespread instability.

If the Jade Emperor had faked his death, upon his return, without giving everyone a satisfactory explanation, he would not be able to retain his title as the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Above the Jade Emperor stood The Three Pure Ones, and it was not yet time for the Jade Emperor to do as he pleased.

Houtu also understood this, and she calmly said, “The fall of the Jade Emperor is a matter known to all; does Great Emperor Ziwei doubt this to be untrue?

If what Great Emperor Ziwei said holds, that His Majesty has not been harmed, then I am indeed overjoyed.”

Just then, King Lingguan was on the verge of being unable to hold out.

He dodged left and right but still couldn’t escape the coverage of Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang.

Panic began to set in as he shouted, “Lady save me now!”

If the Jingu Bang struck him, he would be severely injured if not dead.

Moreover, knowing Sun Wukong’s temperament, the chances of him being killed were exceedingly high.

Lady Houtu, blocked by Great Emperor Ziwei, could not intervene.

She glanced at Great Emperor Gou Chen, who immediately stood up.

Chi You, with a faint smile, blocked Great Emperor Gou Chen.

Great Emperor Gou Chen frowned and said, “Chi You, dare you defy me?”

Chi You replied with disdain, “What are you to me?

I’m blocking you, what about it?”

The use of the words “defy me” irked Chi You significantly.

What of the Four Heavenly Kings or a Great Heavenly Venerate?

As the great Demon God Chi You, he had never submitted to anyone.

“Seeking death.”

Great Emperor Gou Chen finally lost his temper; with a press of his hand towards Chi You, his mighty mana surged, aiming to suppress him.
