Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate
Chapter 107 - 107 107 Complete Chaos in the Celestial Court

107: Chapter 107: Complete Chaos in the Celestial Court 107: Chapter 107: Complete Chaos in the Celestial Court When Sun Wukong returned to his grand hall,

he had gained an understanding of various horses.

Suddenly, a spark of spiritual light flashed through his mind.

If he could merge these advantages into one celestial horse, wouldn’t that make the perfect mount for escape?

However, after he had taken over the affairs of the Imperial Horse Censor, he had also heard about one rule:

That breeding was not to be done arbitrarily.

But, for the sake of his own life, breeding the best celestial horse was a must, although everything had to be done secretly.

As Sun Wukong contemplated how to discreetly arrange the breeding,

outside the Imperial Horse Censor, a young man clad in silver armor, with a handsome face, strode forward.

At that moment, the man’s face bore an expression of panic and urgency.

It was indeed Marshal Tianpeng, who had discovered a flaw and wished to discuss it with Sun Wukong.

“Where is your Lord Pilgrim?

Have him come to see me at once!”

As soon as he entered the Imperial Horse Censor, Marshal Tianpeng immediately began speaking anxiously.

However, as soon as the words were out, Marshal Tianpeng regretted them.

This time, he had come to discuss matters with Sun Wukong, not to bully his subordinates.

Immediately, he said again, “May I ask, where is Lord Pilgrim?

Please announce that Marshal Tianpeng has urgent matters and wishes to visit!”

His tone now was calm, humble, incredibly gentle, vastly different from before.

One could say it was a complete reversal, as if he had transformed into a different person.

Those Duty Officers who had been used to being frightened by Marshal Tianpeng were already stunned.

Was this the same Marshal Tianpeng they knew?

Why did his demeanor seem as if he were asking a favor?

But key here was that this was just the Imperial Horse Censor; when that celestial being came, wasn’t it usually with commands and orders?

Oh!

A Duty Officer pinched his own thigh, feeling a sharp pain afterwards, only then realizing this was not a dream—it was really happening.

But if this wasn’t a dream, how had Marshal Tianpeng become so docile?

It was almost as if he had changed from a lion into a little cat.

At that moment, seeing some hesitation and the strange look from the Duty Officer , Marshal Tianpeng quickly approached.

Marshal Tianpeng politely said, “Please announce that Tianpeng has matters to discuss with Lord Pilgrim!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

With Marshal Tianpeng being polite, the Duty Officer didn’t dare to overstep his bounds.

Regardless of whether Marshal Tianpeng had lost his mind, if he dared to act out of line, his death would be certain.

Afterward, Marshal Tianpeng watched as the Duty Officer left, revealing a hint of a smile on his face.

Being polite to people could foster more interactions in the future; if he had offended someone, they probably wouldn’t dare to return.

“Marshal Tianpeng has arrived and wants to see Old Sun?”

In the back hall, Sun Wukong was planning the breeding when he heard the Duty Officer come in.

“Yes!”

Although Sun Wukong was puzzled, to avoid offending anyone, he naturally would not refuse to meet someone.

He walked towards the front hall and indeed saw the anxiously waiting Marshal Tianpeng.

At that moment, he was as jittery as an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

“Fellow Daoist, I’m relieved to see you!”

Seeing Sun Wukong come out, Marshal Tianpeng, excited, walked over and grabbed Sun Wukong’s hand, his face filled with urgency.

“What is it, Marshal?”

Sun Wukong was full of questions.

But Marshal Tianpeng did not immediately answer Sun Wukong; instead, he looked around to make sure there were no others with them, then waved his hand, creating a barrier of light that enveloped them both and shielded them from the outside world.

Once he was certain no third party could hear them, he looked gravely at Sun Wukong and said, “Do you know about it?”

“Know about what?”

Seeing Marshal Tianpeng’s mysterious demeanor, Sun Wukong was also taken aback.

“You really don’t know?

Then Tianpeng won’t beat around the bush.

Do you know there’s a critical flaw in that map you gave me?”

Marshal Tianpeng seemed quite proud.

“What?”

Hearing Marshal Tianpeng mention this, Sun Wukong also became tense.

Had Marshal Tianpeng already figured out that escape would require a celestial horse according to those routes?

If so, wasn’t his whole plan exposed to Marshal Tianpeng?

“Fellow Daoist, I have led troops in battle for many years.

If there were really any problems in the celestial Court, they would surely set up numerous formations and prohibitions.

Even if there are routes, it would be useless, impossible to break through so many formations in a short time!”

“Oh?”

Hearing Marshal Tianpeng speak, Sun Wukong realized that Tianpeng knew it all.

“Moreover, you might still be unaware, but apparently the celestial horses here can ignore formations.

You could try it out!”

Although Tianpeng often rode celestial horses for errands, he had not yet verified this effect himself, so whether it was true remained unclear to him.

And since Sun Wukong had only recently become the Pilgrim, he assumed Sun Wukong was also unaware.

This visit to remind Sun Wukong had two reasons: since Sun Wukong had told him everything, finding issues naturally meant he had come to discuss them with Sun Wukong.

Another one was that he could blend in with a Celestial Horse when the time came, having it as a backup plan in case escape proved impossible.

“I hadn’t realized Fellow Daoist knew already, since that’s the case, Old Sun won’t hide it anymore!”

Sun Wukong sighed silently.

Honest people don’t speak in secret.

Since Marshal Tianpeng already knew, naturally, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Following that, Sun Wukong waved his hand, dissolving Marshal Tianpeng’s spell.

This move also surprised Marshal Tianpeng.

Although he had cast it casually, the solidity of the spell goes without saying.

How could Sun Wukong, at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, break it so easily?

Moreover, the words spoken by Sun Wukong seemed to imply that he knew everything?

Marshal Tianpeng then followed Sun Wukong to the back palace, where he saw the stables and began to describe the traits of these Celestial Horses.

Meanwhile, in the corner, Sun Wukong took out a map.

In addition to the routes he knew, there were more than twenty others, which were more optimized than his.

Seeing this, Marshal Tianpeng couldn’t help but smile bitterly; he had indeed underestimated Sun Wukong.

This monkey had thought of everything—the quicker routes, the escape routes, the Celestial Horses could serve as the last mount to flee on.

“I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist to be so thorough.

I underestimated you, Fellow Daoist.

Shall we try riding them?”

“Marshal flatters me!”

Soon after, Marshal Tianpeng and Sun Wukong rode the Celestial Horses together, galloping joyfully!

Seeing such a situation, it was inevitable that other minor officials would join in.

Where there is one, there will be two, although Sun Wukong still used the Heavenly Dao oath to bind them; however, not everyone would restrict themselves like that, even if constrained by the Heavenly Dao oath.

Moreover, being in the celestial Court, who doesn’t have three or five good friends to drink with?

Accidentally, a Duty Officer spread the news that the celestial Court might be invaded and escape could only be facilitated with the help of Celestial Horses.

Although under the Heavenly Dao oath, the leaker would inevitably be harmed by the backlash of the oath.

However, the news had already spread, and seeing the Duty Officer die right in front of them, people believed it even more.

Then it spread from ten to a hundred, spreading rapidly.

At first, nobody believed it, but then one celestial Court Star Lord encountered Marshal Tianpeng.

“Marshal, you’re also going to the Imperial Horse Censor, huh!”

“Yes!”

Marshal Tianpeng greeted him with a smile.

“Could it be, Marshal Tianpeng, that you also know about the celestial Court being invaded?”

“What, you know too?”

At his words, Marshal Tianpeng was shocked; this was the first time he had heard from someone else that the celestial Court was to be invaded!

It seemed indeed, as Sun Wukong predicted, the celestial Court was not impregnable.

And signs of the celestial Court being invaded had been present for a long time, but since he was always in the celestial River, he simply hadn’t known about these matters.

If it weren’t for Sun Wukong’s reminder, he probably would still be unaware.

With this in mind, he quickly headed to the Imperial Horse Censor, no time to chat further with that Star Lord.

The Star Lord, seeing Marshal Tianpeng’s frantic appearance, believed the rumor somewhat more.

“Could this rumor be true?

Marshal Tianpeng is so nervous; as a marshal, he surely knows more than I do!”

This Star Lord secretly speculated: “It seems I also need to prepare early!”

This Star Lord naturally told his friends, advising them to prepare early as well.

Since Marshal Tianpeng was so concerned, their initial disbelief was cast aside; their own lives were more important.

Suddenly, the entire celestial Court began to fill with a thick air of chaos.

One by one, the celestial deities borrowed Celestial Horses and then these deities sought their own escape routes, lest they were caught unawares when the time came.

In doing so, the celestial Court was utterly turned upside down.

Inside the Fragrance Spreading Hall.

The Jade Emperor still sat solemnly on the Dragon Throne.

Within the hall, over ten Female Immortals dressed in Rainbow Feathered Dresses, whose forms were graceful and steps light, danced within the Fragrance Spreading Hall.

The music played softly, a scene of song and dance in peace and prosperity.

By the Jade Emperor’s side, two Female Immortals were peeling grapes and Dragon’s Eyes for him, placing them into his mouth after peeling.

Suddenly!

“Your Majesty, there’s been a serious incident!”

Just then, an old man in a white robe with graying beard hurried into the Ninth Celestial Palace, his face full of urgency.

It was none other than Taibai Jinxing, a close confidant of the Jade Emperor.

“What has happened to make you so flustered?”

Seeing Taibai Jinxing this way, the Jade Emperor furrowed his brow, stood up from the Dragon Throne, and with a sweep of his sleeves, the dancing Female Immortals nodded slightly before each descended.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please look…”

Seeing displeasure in the Jade Emperor’s brow but recognizing that this was no time for concern, he hastily cast a spell.

A scene appeared in the Void.

It was none other than the celestial Court.

Compared to other days, where it was orderly, it was now incredibly chaotic.

One after another, the immortals and gods of the celestial Court rode Celestial Horses, swiftly traversing the celestial Court, then choosing one of the four celestial Gates to exit through.

Not only that, but many more celestial deities were waiting for these riders to return, so they too could take a turn on the Celestial Horses.

Their expressions were anxious and uneasy, as if a significant event had occurred.

The entire celestial Court was in utter disarray, completely turned into a mess.

The Jade Emperor, seeing this scene, could not help but twitch at the corners of his eyes, watching the scene in the Void with anger in his gaze.

“What, what has happened here?”
