Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Bite Back

Over the Sacred Lunar Ground, people were bowing to the Jade Emperor.

Jin Ling Saint Mother and Southern Extremity Longevity Star simply bowed and said nothing.

The Jade Emperor glanced at the chaotic Lunar Palace before his gaze settled on Sun Wukong. He reproached, "Sun Wukong, I appointed you as the North Celestial Honor, tasking you with patrolling the north of the Heavenly Court, assessing good and evil, and managing rewards and punishments. Is this how you have carried out your duties?

Why have such atrocities occurred in the Sacred Lunar Ground?"

Upon hearing this, Southern Extremity Longevity Star frowned first, as this was clearly a reproach but, in reality, was intended to support Wukong.

Sun Wukong had certainly noticed and, feigning anger, said, "Your Majesty, you must not wrong the innocent! I have been diligently ensuring the peace of the north of the Heavenly Court every day, never daring to slack off.

This time, to resolve the crisis of the Sacred Lunar Ground, I almost lost my life,

yet you don’t utter a word of commendation and begin with a reprimand. How is this reasonable?"

The latter words were believed by all.

But the former words, no one believed.

As for Golden Cicada, who had been by Wukong’s side during this time, where did he see any diligence or fear of negligence?

The Jade Emperor commanded authoritatively, "Stop making a scene; break open the formation of the Lunar Palace at once!"

Sun Wukong, scratching his head, laughed and said, "Hehe, I really don’t have that ability. Whoever set up the formation should be the one to break it."

The Jade Emperor tapped on the seat of his chariot and pursued, "Then who set up the formation?"

Sun Wukong stated directly, "Whoever is anxious to destroy the evidence, that is who."

Southern Extremity Longevity Star said coldly, "Sun Wukong, don’t spout nonsense. My intervention was meant to quell the chaos at the Lunar Palace."

The Jade Emperor also said sternly, "Sun Wukong, do not make baseless accusations; produce your evidence first."

"There is evidence, and let me, Old Sun, explain it orderly." Sun Wukong smiled, "This starts from a past grudge when Ji Shuming from the Purple Tenuity Emperor’s Mansion embezzled the military supplies of the Earthly Fiends Department and captured the No. 1 General Feipeng,

I went to reason with them and accidentally demolished the mansion of the Sun Star Lord to ruins, and according to the heavenly laws, sentenced Ji Shuming to eternal damnation, and then Ziwei Great Emperor personally killed his own younger brother."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned toward Ziwei Great Emperor and the bound Xu Gai, the former looking grim as water.

The Jade Emperor then said, "Don’t digress, how do these matters relate to the present situation?"

"Your Majesty, Old Sun has always been timid and fearful," Sun Wukong sighed.

The crowd was speechless - this monkey does not have a single hair that matches being timid and fearful!

Sun Wukong continued, "Since offending the Ziwei Great Emperor last time, I have constantly feared retaliation and worried that my close friends might be implicated..."

"That’s a villainous heart," Zi Wei Great Emperor interrupted and sneered, "On regular days, those who offend, insult, and plot against me are many, am I to retaliate against all of them?

Moreover, Ji Shuming himself violated the heavenly laws; why should I retaliate against you?"

"Ziwei Great Emperor is right, I indeed have a villainous heart," Sun Wukong smiled, "so while being cautious, I also cautioned a few close friends to beware of being plotted against,

and just recently, an immortal under Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy came to report that he was drunk and insisted on coming to the Sacred Lunar Ground,

I knew there was deceit and thought to trap the schemer, so I headed with Golden Cicada to the Lunar Palace to scout, only to discover that this place was indeed set up with a formation."

Upon hearing this, Golden Cicada sighed inside, feeling he was still far inferior to Wukong.

Southern Extremity Longevity Star, Ziwei Great Emperor, among others, couldn’t pick any fault with these words and had to let Sun Wukong continue.

Sun Wukong continued, "I knew something was amiss, so I immediately sought the help of Chang’e and the Lunar Star Lord. Jin Chan and I transformed into their likenesses and waited in the Lunar Palace.

As expected, once Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy arrived at the Lunar Palace, the formation was activated..."

Then, he recounted in detail how the Lunar Palace had fallen into chaos and Xu Gai had attempted to defile the Lunar Star Lord.

"This lascivious villain didn’t realize that the Queen Mother he faced was transformed by me. His vile face was fully exposed..."

"I also discovered a thieving monk hiding outside, trying to escape. I chased him down and eventually captured him."

Having said that, Sun Wukong kicked Ju Liu Sun again.

Upon hearing this, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star frowned deeply. These matters were somewhat unexpected, making them very reactive!

Of course, there were still opportunities.

Ziwei Great Emperor seemed to share this thought and immediately rebutted Sun Wukong, "Empty words are not proof. How can we know if what you say is true?

You captured Ju Liu Sun and Xu Gai but gave them no chance to speak. Are they only to be slandered by you?"

The Jade Emperor spoke in a deep voice, "Sun Wukong, release their restraints."

Everyone then looked toward the two people who were restrained.

"Hehe, I too would like to hear what they have to say." Sun Wukong released Ju Liu Sun and retracted the Binding Immortal Rope from Xu Gai.

"Amitabha, well said, well said." Ju Liu Sun showed a look of compassion, "Your Majesty, we Buddhists are not afraid of being wrongfully accused, only worried that evildoers fail to realize their faults and continue their misconduct."

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!" Xu Gai cried out in distress, "It was Sun Wukong and the Queen Mother who intended to conspire in immoral acts, so they set up this licentious formation,

fearing exposure and heavenly punishment, they invited the Queen Mother to implicate me!"

"Haha, interesting, interesting," Sun Wukong laughed instead of getting angry, "According to you, I should have come alone. Why then did I bring Golden Cicada?

Also, when Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy came drunk to the Lunar Star, how do you explain that?"

"You brought Golden Cicada just to deceive others!" Xu Gai shouted, "As for Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, he came for a secret rendezvous with Chang’e, they..."

"Damned dog, daring to spout nonsense, I’ll smash your skull!" roared Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, raising the Ubao Qinjin Rake.

Xu Gai was startled.

"Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, your eagerness to strike, could it be you feel guilty?" Ziwei Great Emperor said.

"Hehe, don’t rush, don’t rush," Sun Wukong waved his hand at Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

"I want to see what else this dog can spit out from his mouth," Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy then grudgingly put down the rake, cursing under his breath.

"Humph!" Xu Gai emboldened himself and said to the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, Sun Wukong and Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy are really in cahoots. Seeing their deeds exposed, they flew into a rage out of humiliation and attacked me and Ju Liu Sun."

"Why would Ju Liu Sun try to flee then? He is a Quasi-Saint, while I’m just a Daluo Golden Immortal." Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

The crowd was speechless; they had beaten Ju Liu Sun to such a state, and you’re still a Daluo Golden Immortal?

Ju Liu Sun still wore a look of compassion, remaining silent.

"The Northern Great Lord is unaware," Jin Ling Saintess laughed, "This fellow is a Quasi-Saint of opportunistic achievement. His strength is indeed lacking, and under the pressure of guilt, naturally, he wanted to flee."

"Oh, I see." Sun Wukong suddenly understood.

The Jade Emperor looked over again and asked, "Sun Wukong, what is your explanation? And who exactly set up this formation?"
