Hurry, leave.” A frantic shout came as Lady Dragon of Wealth ran over from one side. She looked anxious and, grabbing Sun Wukong’s hand, she urged him to leave. At that moment, mana surged in Sun Wukong’s hand and he struck “Lady Dragon of Wealth” directly. Puff. “Lady Dragon of Wealth” was slapped away by his palm, crashing down in the distance, life extinguished. A flash of light, and “Lady Dragon of Wealth” transformed into another shape. It turned out to be a fox with eight tails, almost evolving into a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. Since the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was adept at illusion, and with someone possessing great magical power taking action, even Sun Wukong had almost been deceived. But, he still sensed something was off. It wasn’t through supernatural spells that he saw through the deception but through scent. The scent of the Fox Race was naturally different from that of the Sea Tribe. Sun Wukong noticed this detail, which is why he took decisive action. Moreover, Lady Dragon of Wealth had been captured, so why would they easily let her go? She was a bargaining chip to threaten him. As expected, with the death of that eight-tailed Sky Fox, more than a dozen figures appeared, Those beings were of various races, but all of them emanated a ghostly aura, like fierce spirits. What was most terrifying was their strength; they were definitely among the elites of the Heavenly Venerates. At the center stood Lady Houtu, with Lady Dragon of Wealth by her side, but it was clear that Lady Dragon of Wealth was restrained. “What is this supposed to mean, Lady Houtu? You capture the princess of the East Sea, and you aren’t afraid of the Dragon Clan’s retaliation? Others might think the Dragon Clan is weak and easy to bully. I imagine with your strength, Lady Houtu, you wouldn’t be unaware of the true details of the Dragon Clan, right?” Sun Wukong was not the least bit panicked; Baize had already warned him that Lady Houtu was going to make a move against him. At that time, Sun Wukong had already prepared himself psychologically. He just didn’t expect that Lady Houtu would capture Lady Dragon of Wealth first to lure him over. Lady Dragon of Wealth, unable to speak, gave him a look with her eyes, signaling Sun Wukong to leave. Sun Wukong understood her gesture and said with a smile, “You don’t need to make eyes at me; I too want to leave. But it’s not so easy to break out of here. The barrier set up by Lady Houtu is really too strong. It seems like Old Sun is indeed heading down a dead end this time.” While he was speaking, Sun Wukong sighed, yet there was a hint of amusement in his eyes. Lady Houtu’s brow furrowed slightly as she suddenly realized that Sun Wukong didn’t seem to take them seriously. Lady Dragon of Wealth showed a look of remorse; in her view, it was her fault that Sun Wukong had been trapped. If not for her, how could he have fallen into Lady Houtu’s scheme? “Sun Wukong, I can give you a chance. Serve me, and I will spare your lives. Furthermore, I can promise that once we overthrow Great Emperor Ziwei, when the Jade Emperor returns, I’ll make sure he crowns you as Great Emperor Ziwei, still the foremost of the Four Heavenly Kings. Isn’t that stronger than your current position under Ziwei?” Great Emperor Ziwei? The foremost of the Four Heavenly Kings? A smile of disdain appeared on the corner of Sun Wukong’s mouth. If he cared about those things, he would have vied for dominance over the heavens and earth himself rather than pushing Ziwei forward. Seeing Sun Wukong’s disdain, Lady Houtu also understood that Sun Wukong had become one of the top powers between heaven and earth. Supported by many, like Queen Mother of the West, even when the Jade Emperor was still in power, he was not someone to be offended lightly. Instead, they needed to woo him. He naturally scorned the position among the Four Heavenly Kings in the Heavenly Court. Having realized this, Lady Houtu suddenly sighed and spoke softly, “Wukong, honestly, there’s no need for us to escalate to this point. No matter what, he is your mentor, and I am your senior. We are truly a family. Your mentor made mistakes in the past; I can make him apologize to you. I hope you can let go of your grudge against your mentor and return to our fold.” “Are you done?” Sun Wukong asked. Lady Houtu paused briefly, stopping her speech. Sun Wukong smiled faintly and said, “If you’re done talking, then let’s get started. I really want to see what makes you think you can kill me.” Lady Houtu’s face turned iron blue. Since playing the card of kinship had also failed, it seemed there was no choice left but to kill Sun Wukong. Lady Houtu said coldly, “These twelve by my side are the collected remnants of souls from twelve ancient gods who perished in ancient times. I’ve resurrected them, and they have been forged in the Netherworld for countless years. Each of their strengths surpasses that of high-ranking Heavenly Venerates. Even if you are the Great Heavenly Venerate, you will not be able to withstand their combined attack, Wukong. Are you truly unwilling to submit?” Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said without courtesy, “You talk too much.” Lady Houtu’s expression immediately darkened. With a wave of her hand, the twelve ancient gods immediately surrounded Sun Wukong. She stared at Sun Wukong coldly and said, “Kill him.” The twelve ancient gods joined forces and struck at Sun Wukong. The glaring light engulfed Sun Wukong; even Lady Houtu could not see clearly what was happening inside. She felt a bit puzzled. Could it be that the monkey had been slain with a single blow? An immortal body shouldn’t be so easily killed. As the light dissipated, only a single monkey hair remained where Sun Wukong had been standing. “Not good.” Lady Houtu cried out inwardly, but it was already too late. Sun Wukong, unbeknownst to when, had already appeared behind her and struck her body with his staff. “Puh.” Lady Houtu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying horizontally. Sun Wukong didn’t pursue the victory; Lady Houtu’s strength was formidable. Managing to wound her with his staff was already pushing the limits. The consort of the Jade Emperor, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, naturally wouldn’t be so easily killed. Sun Wukong had no intention of clashing directly with Lady Houtu. The instant he slew the Nine-tailed Fox, he used his monkey hair to create a doppelganger there and immediately concealed his true body, lurking close to Lady Houtu. After the twelve ancient fierce gods had left, intending to kill his doppelganger, Sun Wukong took the opportunity to strike, severely wounding Lady Houtu, and managed to rescue the Lady Dragon of Wealth. This kind of skill could only be performed by Sun Wukong within the Three Realms. Master Erlang Yang Jian’s Art of Transformation was no weaker than Sun Wukong’s. But Master Erlang didn’t possess Sun Wukong’s doppelganger skills. Sun Wukong released the Dragon Girl from her restraints, and immediately she regained the ability to move. Seeing Lady Houtu and the others about to kill their way over, the Dragon Girl turned pale instantly. “Don’t panic.” Sun Wukong smiled faintly, and the next moment, he ferociously smashed his Jingu Bang into the void. Daoist patterns intertwined, mana surged, and Sun Wukong aimed to break the spatial barrier and leave the place with the Dragon Girl. Once they entered the Three Realms, Lady Houtu would dare not make a move. Lady Houtu smiled coldly and said, “Sun Wukong, you’re too naive. With your meager mana, you want to break through my barrier, you...” She hadn’t finished her words when her eyes widened in shock. For Sun Wukong had shattered her barrier and directly left? “What?” Lady Houtu was flabbergasted. By the time she reacted and tried to stop Sun Wukong, he had long since left. “How is it possible? How could his mana have grown so fast that he could shatter the barrier I had formed?” In Lady Houtu’s eyes, rage was raging. To her, Sun Wukong’s action was nothing short of a blatant slap in the face.
