Chapter 132: No Good Intentions

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: No Good Intentions

Sun Wukong clearly wanted to pursue justice to the end.

Ziwei Great Emperor seemed to have been prepared and nodded, "Since that’s the case, let us settle this,

this matter started because Ji Shuming harbored personal grievances. After he resigned from the position of Disha Duishi God General, I taught him to manage military supplies for the Sun Sovereign, but I never expected him to give such trouble to the old generals of the Disha division, almost causing a grave error..."

"Almost?" Sun Wukong interrupted, "Ziwei Great Emperor, you are mistaken. This scoundrel has already committed a grave error. His Majesty’s rewards for the soldiers of the Disha division—he even dared to deduct them as military supplies?"

Ziwei Great Emperor’s expression remained unchanged: "North Pole Great Heavenly Lord feels how should he be punished?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "This scoundrel’s evil deeds have already disrupted the morale of my Disha division’s troops. There are many dissatisfactions regarding the military supply issue among the generals and soldiers,

in future expeditions to the lower realms, if such matters cause any mismanagement, it won’t be settled by mere misunderstandings!"

Ziwei Great Emperor sighed, "The future military supply allocations for the Disha division will be handled by your division; I will no longer interfere."

Sun Wukong sternly said, "I am following His Majesty’s command, inspecting good and evil, holding the power of rewards and punishments at the North Pole of the Heavenly Court. For those among the North Pole immortals and deities who breach the law, I can execute first and report afterwards. How can I turn a blind eye to the current evil deeds!"

Ziwei Great Emperor slightly frowned, "I will order Ji Shuming to undergo reincarnation in the lower realm."

The indignant Ji Shuming at the side, upon hearing this, became anxious immediately: "Big brother..."

Ziwei Great Emperor glanced at him, and he dared not speak further.

Sun Wukong then coldly laughed, "Return to the mundane world for a tour, then resume his office? Ziwei Great Emperor still does not understand the intentions of this heavenly lord. He deserves death, a death warranting countless executions, permanently cast into reincarnation!"

Ji Shuming’s complexion greatly changed, finally realizing the enormity of his mistake, as he kneeled there in terror: "Big brother, save me, I don’t want to reincarnate!"

Having tasted what it’s like to be an immortal, who would wish to suffer the pains of reincarnation?

Ziwei Great Emperor’s expression finally grew cold: "Must it be this way?"

Sun Wukong showed no intention of compromise, and said further: "If Ziwei Great Emperor thinks the punishment I determined is inadequate, then let us go to Lingxiao Treasure Hall,

before His Majesty and all the immortals, let’s bring out the heavenly regulations one by one as devised by Changsheng Great Emperor and compare them to see exactly what crimes he has committed, shall we?"

Ziwei Great Emperor stared at Sun Wukong for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and with a palm strike, instantly killed the still-pleading Ji Shuming, sending this brother into reincarnation.

His spiritual entity was stationed in the Yintianzi of Fengdu in the underworld; he didn’t need to go through any more processes.

Sun Wukong smiled and praised, "Cruel indeed, an effective method too!"

With Ji Shuming dead, naturally there was no longer a reason to continue the pursuit.

Moreover, with Ziwei Great Emperor personally killing his own brother, he also preserved the reputation of Sun Sovereign Xu Gai, especially since Yuan Hong had just exposed his disgraceful act of fratricide and defection.

At this moment, the immortal officers and divine generals of Ziwei star, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals, dared not speak.

Ziwei Great Emperor snorted coldly, "No farewell."

Sun Wukong smiled, taking Yuan Hong, Deng Jiugong, and flying away from Ziwei star with Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

From afar, he saw Qu Liusun Buddha and Golden Cicada approaching Ziwei star, probably having seen everything that had just happened.

Qu Liusun held one hand in salute to him.

Sun Wukong saluted back from afar, yet in his mind he thought, "This old monk is up to no good, I need to be wary."

Soon, all was calm again on Ziwei star, but the commotion that just occurred had spread throughout the Heavenly Court, creating a huge stir.

For it signified that the Central Heavenly North Pole Purple Tenuity Emperor and the Great Sage Equalling Heaven of the North Pole had truly become adversaries.

...

In a splendid palace, Ziwei Great Emperor, dressed in red imperial robes, sat opposite Qu Liusun Buddha; they were alone with no others present.

Ziwei Great Emperor said, "Lacking control over my subordinate, I have provided you with amusement."

Qu Liusun smiled and said, "In the affairs of the world, not everything always goes as one wishes,"

Ziwei Great Emperor sighed, "Although that’s true, there will always be dissatisfaction, anger, and resentment in the heart."

"Amitabha, well said, well said." Ju Liusan chanted a Buddhist incantation and said, "In that case, it might be better to let go and let him be rampant."

"Then let us speak of him no more," Ziwei Great Emperor shook his head. He continued, "What brings you to see me?"

"Daoist Lu Ya has conspired with the demonic sect, putting our Buddha Sect at a disadvantage," Ju Liusan reported. "The Buddha asked that the emperor help mediate more in the Heavenly Court to alleviate our sect’s predicaments."

"I am also acquainted with Daoist Lu Ya, yet I had never expected him to fall so low," Ziwei Great Emperor sighed softly. "Go back and tell the Buddha that I will do my best to mediate."

"Then this monk, on behalf of the Buddha Sect, gives many thanks to the emperor," Ju Liusan said, raising one hand in salute. He added, "There is another matter; the Buddha asks if the emperor remembers the agreement made back then."

"Has it begun?" Ziwei Great Emperor’s expression turned serious.

"Indeed," Ju Liusan nodded. "The three Buddhas of Mount Ling have agreed to start planning for the eastward spread of Buddhist Law. Now, it is time to select those who will undertake the journey to obtain the scriptures."

"Who are they?" Ziwei Great Emperor asked. "If it’s inconvenient to disclose, no need to say."

"There’s no inconvenience, and besides, your help is needed," Ju Liusan smiled. "To let the emperor know, those chosen to undertake the journey include Golden Cicada, Sun Wukong, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy,

and the Curtain Lifting General who had previously mishandled the Peach Banquet, shattering the liuli cup and was thus demoted to the lower realm."

"Sun Wukong?" Ziwei Great Emperor furrowed his brows. "With his current strength and status, would he be willing to work for the Buddha Sect?"

"Amitabha," Ju Liusan smiled. "This is destiny, and he has his own trials to face."

"Destiny..." Ziwei Great Emperor lowered his gaze in contemplation for a moment before asking, "What needs to be done this time? Do we have to confront Sun Wukong?"

"One thing at a time," Ju Liusan smiled as he took out an object. "This is the Vighna Raksha Formation Diagram created by the Joyful Buddha. Once he enters the formation, he is bound to join our Buddha Sect.

In doing so, the emperor could use this opportunity to obtain the authority over the lesser yin. With both the sun and the lesser yin in hand, the authority of the star lord would indeed be magnificent."

Ziwei Great Emperor fell silent.

To others, the Jade Emperor appointing Sun Wukong as the North Celestial Pole Honored One seemed to challenge the authority of the North Pole, specifically targeting him.

But in reality, when the Jade Emperor dispatched Lord Tianyou to guard the eye of the North Sea, he had already made his move.

For the guardian of Tongming Hall, Lord Tianyou, was in fact Ziwei Great Emperor’s own man!

Except for themselves, no one else knew of this connection.

"How did the Jade Emperor come to know about it?" Ziwei Great Emperor had never figured it out.

But one thing he knew: if he did nothing, he, the Four Imperial Great Emperors, would eventually become mere symbols.

Thus, he must strike back.

After a while, Ju Liusan and Ziwei Great Emperor finalized everything and called upon Golden Cicada, who was watching the excitement from outside, and left the planet Ziwei.

Ziwei Great Emperor then summoned Xu Gai, the sun star lord.

Seated high in the grand hall, he looked down at the silver-armored divine general and asked sternly, "There is now an opportunity to fulfill your lifelong wish. Are you willing?"

"A lifelong wish?" Xu Gai’s eyes brightened, followed by unabated excitement. "Your Majesty, I am willing, truly willing!"

His mind was already filled with the figure that haunted his dreams.

...

On his way back to the Disha division, Sun Wukong also pondered extensively.

He had long known that Ziwei Great Emperor was not easy to deal with. Although he had seized an opportunity this time, he hadn’t really caused much damage. After all, the death of a useless brother hardly counted for much, maybe just a loss of face.

For these high-positioned emperors, face might not even matter anymore.

"Hmm, better ask senior netizens to find out more," Sun Wukong scratched his face.
