185: Chapter 171: Joining Forces to Beat Up Tathagata_6 185: Chapter 171: Joining Forces to Beat Up Tathagata_6 “The one who killed Little White Dragon was Jin Chan, not Old Sun.

However, Old Sun couldn’t be bothered to explain.

If Ao Run fails to see reason, Old Sun won’t mind letting him experience the power of this Sea-Calming Divine Needle,”

Sun Wukong said with a cold laugh.

He weighed the Sea-Calming Divine Needle in his hand, his face revealing a sneer.

Lady Dragon of Wealth grew anxious.

She quickly explained, “Great Saint, please don’t rush to judgment.

I will have my father explain this matter to Uncle Ao Run.

He will surely believe you.”

But Sun Wukong was indifferent.

He said with a smile, “Whether he believes or not doesn’t matter to me.

I don’t care.”

Lady Dragon of Wealth knew Sun Wukong didn’t care, but she had no choice but to care.

If Ao Run didn’t believe and chose to oppose Sun Wukong, Ao Run would surely be at a disadvantage and might even be in mortal danger.

That was why Lady Dragon of Wealth was anxious.

She immediately said, “I’ll go find my father right now to persuade my uncle.”

“Lady Dragon of Wealth, wait.”

Great Emperor Ziwei stopped her.

Lady Dragon of Wealth was puzzled, not understanding why Great Emperor Ziwei was stopping her.

“I need to confront Gou Chen tomorrow with Wukong, and you must not tell your father about this.

It’s enough if he believes Wukong did not kill Little White Dragon.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to find an opportunity to move against Gou Chen,”

Great Emperor Ziwei said, rubbing his hands together.

Lady Dragon of Wealth was momentarily stunned but then nodded decisively.

Great Emperor Ziwei then let her go.

“Your Majesty, are you planning to kill Great Emperor Gou Chen?

Then I should come along too.

Although I’m only a Heavenly Venerate, I can still lend a hand,”

Lu Dongbin said eagerly.

Now, he, Sun Wukong, and Great Emperor Ziwei, were all in the same boat.

Gou Chen was Great Emperor Ziwei’s enemy, naturally making him their common enemy.

To kill Gou Chen?

Great Emperor Ziwei gave an odd look and could not help saying, “Why would you think that?

Gou Chen is my own brother; I just want to teach him a lesson, why would I kill him?”

Huh?

Lu Dongbin was dumbfounded.

Making such a fuss about beating Great Emperor Gou Chen appeared quite trivial.

Is this how significant figures do things?

He couldn’t understand.

“It’s just hard feelings.

Gou Chen, despite being my brother, never treats me well and always opposes me.

This time, with the Jade Emperor feigning death and him wanting to help the Jade Emperor against me, I definitely need to vent my anger by beating him.

But he is still my brother.

Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t want to harm his life,”

Great Emperor Ziwei explained.

He blinked his eyes and asked Lu Dongbin, “Do you understand?”

Lu Dongbin shook his head, unable to understand.

It was too trivial.

Sun Wukong smiled, looking at Great Emperor Ziwei with admiration, and said, “If you were in the Mortal World, you definitely wouldn’t make a good emperor, but if you became the ruler of the Three Realms, you would surely be a blessing to all living beings in the Three Realms.”

Lu Dongbin was even more confused.

What did becoming the ruler of the Three Realms and the welfare of all living beings in the Three Realms have to do with each other?

Sun Wukong actually understood well.

Ziwei’s nature was different from that of lofty figures like the Jade Emperor.

His personality was filled with humanity, and his good side far outweighed his evil side.

Great Emperor Ziwei was loving and would not use the sacrifice of living beings to achieve some purpose.

If it were the Jade Emperor, let alone Gou Chen being his own brother, even if he were his father, he would eliminate him if he stood in his way.

But for Great Emperor Ziwei, that would absolutely never happen.

That was Great Emperor Ziwei’s flaw, but also his strength.

At the same time, this was also a trait that Sun Wukong gradually discovered in him.

Sun Wukong decided to help Great Emperor Ziwei for this very reason.

Lu Dongbin didn’t understand because he thought of Great Emperor Ziwei as being like the Jade Emperor.

Sun Wukong understood because he had seen through the true character of Great Emperor Ziwei.

The two plotted on how to make their move.

Eventually, they decided to act when Gou Chen left the West Sea.

That would be when Gou Chen was least prepared; they would strike when he was completely unsuspecting.

Excitement twinkled in Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes as he laughed and said, “When the time comes, we’ll give Gou Chen a good beating.

This guy has bullied me since we were young, and now he’s opposing me.

Not to give him a good thrashing would be a disservice to myself.”

Sun Wukong glanced at him.

The mighty Great Emperor Ziwei was quite a grudge-holder, almost petty.

Realizing what Sun Wukong was thinking, Great Emperor Ziwei chuckled and said, “So, you must never offend me in the future.

I am a person who holds grudges the most.

A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten thousand years.”

Sun Wukong scoffed and said, “Old Sun never holds grudges; I generally settle them the same day.”

Great Emperor Ziwei: “…”

The two then left Huaguo Mountain and hid along the path Gou Chen must take.

Meanwhile, within the West Sea, Ao Guang was explaining to Ao Run.

Ao Run, with a stern face, said, “Brother, you must have been deceived by that monkey.

The Sandalwood Merit Buddha personally said that the killer of Little White Dragon was Sun Wukong.”

Ao Guang, caught between laughter and tears, said impatiently, “Brother, are you confused?

What kind of person is the Great Saint?

Don’t you know him?

If he had killed Little White Dragon, how could he dare not admit it?

Is he afraid of you?”

Ao Run was left speechless.

Sun Wukong, of course, was not afraid of him.

“Besides, your niece is about to become the Great Sage’s wife.

The Great Saint surely wouldn’t lie to her.”

Ao Guang pointed at Lady Dragon of Wealth and said.

Lady Dragon of Wealth blushed; she really wanted to argue with her father—nothing was settled yet.

But, to make her uncle believe, Lady Dragon of Wealth didn’t argue.

Ao Run looked at Lady Dragon of Wealth in surprise and asked, “Is it true?”

“Yes.”

Lady Dragon of Wealth shyly nodded.

After all, the Bodhisattva had already promised her to Great Sage Sun, so calling her the Great Sage’s wife was not wrong.

Ao Run’s expression changed, and he finally believed Ao Guang’s words.

“That Bald Donkey, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, dares to deceive me and kill my son, Little White Dragon.

When I see him next, I must kill him.”

Ao Run gritted his teeth; he was convinced and deeply hated the Sandalwood Merit Buddha.
