Chapter 376: Chapter 372 Rabbit’s Circle of Friends [3]_1

This is 371, there was a mistake.

----------

Then, the other party immediately came back obediently to listen to his nagging...

After all, the Western Gate had always been guarded with the help of Buddhism. They might not have made remarkable achievements, but they certainly endured hardships, not to mention they did have some accomplishments.

What does it mean to guard? It means that they have the final say about that gate, letting you pass if they wish, and if they don’t let you pass, you’d better get an order from someone in charge to allow you through! If not, get lost!

If they were to rush through recklessly, Golden Cicada might not say anything, and it wouldn’t matter much when Gouchen was there, but once the Jade Emperor came back...

According to their knowledge of the Buddhist folks, these bald monks were as magnanimous as the sea when dealing with outsiders, but when it came to holding grudges, they definitely wouldn’t miss an opportunity and would rush to report to the Lingxiao Hall immediately if they had the chance!

Given the Jade Emperor’s temperament, those Star Monarchs would not have an easy time!

The most important thing was, just as those outside had guessed, Emperor Gouchen was too young. Even though he commanded all the stars, he had limited trusted followers. Moreover, being temporarily in power, these Star Monarchs and celestial stars were just following orders, and they wouldn’t go out of their way to be diligent. It wasn’t entirely directed at Emperor Gouchen; it was the same with the Jade Emperor—these guys often worked without much effort...

There was no alternative, as most of these beings were either disciples of the Jie Cult or generals who died in the business wars, including King Zhou among them.

These people harboured deep resentment towards the Heavenly Court. If it weren’t for their True Spirits being locked on the Investiture of the Gods and being suppressed by the Saints, it would have been a matter of good conscience for them not to rebel.

Golden Cicada stood there, his tongue spinning flowery speeches and going on and on. The only upside was that he didn’t spit when he spoke, and frankly, he sounded quite pleasant, so everyone just endured it and listened...

The Ang Sun Chicken was the first to become impatient and whispered to Lou Gold Dog, "Brother, what do we do? It’s been half an hour, and this monk seems to have just started..."

Lou Gold Dog sighed and said, "What else can we do? It’s too late to pass now, might as well just listen to his nonsense here. If asked from above, we’ll just say he stopped us to ask questions and didn’t let us through. Hmm... At least we can say we gave it our all and preserved each other’s relationship."

The Ang Sun Chicken nodded and said, "Brilliant!"

It wasn’t so harmonious outside the Eastern Gate.

Fizz...

Crack...

Bang!

With a dark look on his face, Jiao Wood Dragon gazed at the teleportation array in front of him, constantly emitting sparks and flashes of electricity, and turned his head towards Zunwu, who stood in the distance, holding a sword and standing still like a statue, asking, "Overlord Zunwu, what happened to the teleportation array?"

Upon hearing this question, Kang Gold Dragon, Di Earth Raccoon, Fang Sun Rabbit, Xin Moon Fox, Wei Fire Tiger, Ji Water Leopard, and other Star Monarchs, along with a group of celestial stars, collectively stretched their necks looking towards Zunwu.

They were somewhat afraid of Zunwu because they knew very well that if there was one gate among the four great heavenly gates that was the hardest to pass, it was undoubtedly the Eastern Gate! Because up to now, no one had ever seen Zunwu’s sword unsheathed! This man, as motionless as a rock, was Emperor Qinghua of the East’s direct disciple, Taiyi Savior Heavenly Venerable’s powerful disciple, known as the Motionless Venerable. He had stepped into the Golden Immortal realm countless years ago and what level he had reached by now, no one knew.

Also, Zunwu was famously difficult to get along with among all the Heavenly Gods, so everyone was a little worried.

Without turning his head, Zunwu said indifferently, "Practicing swordsmanship, accidentally cut it."

"What?!"

Jiao Wood Dragon almost exploded when he heard that, his eyes bulging as he pointed at the teleportation array shooting out blue flames and exclaimed, "This is one of the teleportation arrays of the four heavenly gates, and you just smashed it like that?"

Zunwu turned his head and said, "Are you criticizing me?"

Jiao Wood Dragon’s face turned red. He couldn’t get the word out and instead gritted his teeth and said, "We were ordered by Emperor Gouchen to go to the Southern Gate to capture the Jade Rabbit, Qin Shou. Without the teleportation array, how are we supposed to get there?"

Zunwu replied expressionlessly, "Run there."

Pfft!

Jiao Wood Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood in anger and cursed inwardly, "Run there? Do you have any idea how vast the Immortal Realm is? Even running barefoot, running for a damn hundred thousand years might not get us there!"

Fuming inside, Jiao Wood Dragon looked at Kang Gold Dragon, Di Earth Raccoon, Fang Sun Rabbit, and the others, immediately throwing them a look as if to say, "Aren’t you going to speak up?"

But these guys either looked up or looked down, with only Fang Sun Rabbit coming closer and whispering, "What’s there to say? What if talking too much gets us beaten up? Although Emperor Qinghua of the East is not among the Siyu, everyone knows that he once was among the six overlords. Something happened later, and Emperor Qinghua of the East stepped down. And the other one... well, let’s not talk about it. In any case, Emperor Qinghua of the East has an even more explosive temper than Emperor Gouchen, and even Gouchen doesn’t want to provoke him, so let’s not ask for trouble."

What could Jiao Wood Dragon say? He could only force a bitter smile and say, "Let’s forget it, it’s just capturing a rabbit. If we don’t show up, it shouldn’t matter. The others from the three directions are going, and everything will fall into place without us. If someone asks, the teleportation array is broken, and we couldn’t do anything about it..."

Fang Sun Rabbit nodded frantically in agreement, "Exactly, exactly... that’s the logic."

So, for various reasons, the star warriors sent by Emperor Gouchen couldn’t make it from the east, west, and north.

Only the Southern Gate was left...

At this moment, at the Southern Gate, Gui Gold Sheep was rubbing his hands nervously and pacing back and forth, muttering, "What the heck are Jiao Wood Dragon, Niu Gold Ox, Lou Gold Dog up to? Why haven’t they come yet?"

"Brother Sheep, stop pacing in circles; you’re making me dizzy," Liu Earth Roebuck complained.

"Dizzy? If you’re dizzy, look the other way! Don’t look at me! That rabbit could show up at any moment; don’t let him sneak off!" Gui Gold Sheep said.

Liu Earth Roebuck turned his head and gazed into the distance, "With so many of us here, laying such a huge trap for him, if he dares to come, then that would be truly bizarre!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth when Xing Sun Horse bellowed, "The rabbit’s carriage is coming from the west, exactly like the intelligence reported!"

Zhang Yuelu, Yi Fire Snake, and Zhen Water Worm immediately looked over and indeed saw a carriage streaking across the sky!

Gui Gold Sheep immediately pulled out a painted scroll, which prominently featured the carriage, labeled as the rabbit’s means of travel.

Gui Gold Sheep cursed, "It really is that damn rabbit! Heaven offers a path yet he refuses it, hell doesn’t beckon but he barges in; fine, today we’ll catch this rabbit and claim our reward!"

"Brother Sheep, I think we should consider the consequences if we fail to stop him. According to intelligence, Dou Wood Rhino, Kui Wood Wolf, and Jing Wood Moose joined forces and were still overturned by that rabbit, dragged all the way out of Tianyong City. Our abilities are just a tiny bit below theirs..." Liu Earth Roebuck said.

Gui Gold Sheep’s face flushed red and he retorted, "Afraid of what? We have the numbers and the formation for support. How could we possibly fail to stop a rabbit?"

"You might not be able to stop it after all!" Just at that moment, a voice came from the sky.
