238: Chapter 180 Houtu Makes a Move_5 238: Chapter 180 Houtu Makes a Move_5 Lu Dongbin gave an awkward smile and said, “That makes it sound like I enjoy stirring up trouble.” “Should I call Bluebird and the others to see if what I said is correct?” “I take my leave.” Lu Dongbin turned and walked away. For some reason, Lu Dongbin’s words had left Sun Wukong feeling somewhat uneasy. He shook his head with a wry smile. It was all Lu Dongbin’s doing, making him a bit worried with just a few words. Fortunately, he didn’t have Mahasthamaprapta’s knack for speaking things into existence; otherwise, Sun Wukong would’ve really felt compelled to chase after him for a look. An hour later, Sun Wukong’s expression changed. He abruptly stood up, looking in the direction of the South Sea. Someone had sent him a mental image via Divine Thought. The Lady Dragon of Wealth had been captured. “What’s wrong?” Lu Dongbin hurried over, his face full of surprise, realizing that something must have happened from Sun Wukong’s demeanor. After giving Lu Dongbin a glance, Sun Wukong complained, “You and your Crow’s Mouth, stay away from Mahasthamaprapta in the future.” Lu Dongbin was full of question marks, but he quickly realized that most likely, the Lady Dragon of Wealth was in trouble. Just as he was about to ask, Sun Wukong had already vanished from his sight. “Not good, the Great Saint is being rash. This is clearly a trap; we need to hurry to assist him,” Lu Dongbin thought anxiously, ready to inform Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the others to return and then go to help Sun Wukong. “Stay calm and guard Huaguo Mountain well. Don’t fall for someone else’s ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain,” he cautioned himself, calming his emotions. As Sun Wukong said, if they all, the Heavenly Venerates, left, Huaguo Mountain would indeed face grave problems. Should a mighty force attack, the people here would not be able to withstand it. He could only wait anxiously, hoping in his heart that the Great Saint wouldn’t encounter any other trouble. Sun Wukong had already arrived at the scene of the incident. In the void, a portal appeared, emanating the aura of the Dragon Girl. Sun Wukong gave a faint smile, and directly entered the portal, which slowly closed behind him. Lu Dongbin had previously been able to sense Sun Wukong’s presence, but now he couldn’t detect it at all. He immediately panicked, hurriedly wrote a memorial tablet, and used a spell to send it up to the heavens. Great Emperor Ziwei was dealing with governmental affairs when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise. With a grasp into the void, a memorial tablet appeared. Feeling the aura on it, Great Emperor Ziwei raised his eyebrows, recognizing it as Lu Dongbin’s. After reviewing the content, his expression instantly changed. Meanwhile, throughout the Three Realms, he could not sense Sun Wukong’s presence. This revelation shocked Great Emperor Ziwei, who without a word stood up and walked outside. Master Ge was standing by the door, ready to serve Great Emperor Ziwei at any moment. Seeing Great Emperor Ziwei come out, Master Ge quickly approached, fawningly saying, “If the Great Heavenly Venerate has any tasks, simply command your servant to do it; there’s no need for you to take personal action.” Great Emperor Ziwei stood there motionless. His Divine Thought swept across the Three Realms, but he still could not find any trace of Sun Wukong. “There has been an incident,” said Great Emperor Ziwei in a grave voice. Instinctively, he wanted to discuss the matter with those close to him. Under normal circumstances, this sort of issue would be discussed with Venus, and every piece of advice from Venus always satisfied him greatly. Even though Venus had gone to the Dragon Palace, he still instinctively sought someone to consult. Master Ge, perceiving his intentions, immediately intervened, asking, “Great Heavenly Venerate, what has happened?” After giving him a glance, Great Emperor Ziwei realized that Venus was not at his side. However, he did not hide the truth and instead said, “Wukong has disappeared, probably foul play.” No sooner had Great Emperor Ziwei finished speaking than Master Ge’s voice eagerly rose: “That’s excellent! If that rascal monkey is dead, nothing could be better.” Great Emperor Ziwei’s face darkened abruptly as he stared at Master Ge, questioning, “Why?” Seemingly oblivious to the anger on Great Emperor Ziwei’s face, Master Ge thought his reaction was perfectly appropriate. He proudly said, “To report to the Great Emperor, Sun Wukong played a significant role in your ascendancy as the Great Heavenly Venerate. One might even say that at least thirty percent of the merit for your position is due to Sun Wukong.” Master Ge chose his words carefully, speaking tentatively. Thirty percent of the merit? Great Emperor Ziwei scoffed inwardly, knowing that Master Ge was simply flattering him. He said nothing but continued to stare at Master Ge, signaling him to go on. Seeing that Great Emperor Ziwei hadn’t contradicted him, Master Ge felt encouraged, thinking he had said the right things. He immediately went on: “But has the Great Emperor ever considered that Sun Wukong’s merits are so great that he overshadows his master? With his unruly nature, now the entire Three Realms are saying...” He stopped mid-sentence, his face feigning difficulty, clearly waiting for Great Emperor Ziwei to ask more. Great Emperor Ziwei knew his little trick all too well. He inwardly sneered, but outwardly he remained composed and inquired, “Saying what?” “I dare not speak it.” Master Ge looked terrified. Great Emperor Ziwei smiled faintly, uttering, “Speak.” Emboldened, Master Ge said, “Throughout the Three Realms, Immortals and Buddhas are whispering that the Great Heavenly Venerate is merely Sun Wukong’s puppet, and that Sun Wukong is in fact the true sovereign of the Three Realms. Your every action falls under Sun Wukong’s control.” As he spoke, Master Ge kept an eye on Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression. Great Emperor Ziwei’s face remained expressionless, revealing neither pleasure nor anger. This made Master Ge slightly uneasy; perhaps he had said too much. Given the Great Heavenly Venerate’s trust in Sun Wukong, his words just now might not have any effect. What’s worse, there was a chance that Great Emperor Ziwei had intentionally led him to speak these words, just to have a reason to punish him.
