250: Chapter 182 Shao Siming_8 250: Chapter 182 Shao Siming_8 But more incense visitors had already died.
His face was iron blue, and with anger, he looked upwards and let out a roar, a terrifying killing intent shook the Three Realms.
Everyone had the feeling that Sun Wukong was furious, enraged by the deaths of these incense visitors.
“I don’t care who you are, or what your reasons are, if Old Sun finds out who did this, Old Sun will obliterate your ten clans.”
Sun Wukong’s voice spread throughout the Three Realms, carrying a terrifying intent to kill.
At the same time, Sun Wukong ordered that all Great Sage Temples be closed and deny entry to incense visitors.
He also had Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and others keep a close watch on the Great Sage Temples.
If there were any Immortals and Buddhas acting suspiciously, they were to be taken down immediately.
“Could it really be Lady Houtu and the others who did this?”
Lu Dongbin asked, because if it really was Lady Houtu, he didn’t know how many people would be disappointed with the Heavenly Court.
Nu Ba retorted, “Why not?
Do you think Lady Houtu and the others are good people?”
Lu Dongbin: “...”
He always felt there was something fishy about the whole situation.
After all, Sun Wukong had just smashed their Taoist temples, and now they retaliated by attacking the Great Sage Temples, which also made a lot of sense.
But, to kill the incense visitors too, that triggered a great taboo.
As two of the Four Heavenly Kings, Lady Houtu and Gou Chen the Great Emperor, or even Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun, wouldn’t likely do such a thing.
Of course, Lu Dongbin couldn’t be too sure.
The recent actions of the Four Heavenly Kings made him doubt their integrity.
Seeing Sun Wukong lost in thought, nobody dared to interrupt him.
Sun Wukong frowned and said, “I don’t think it was Houtu and the others.
Although they are shameless and capable of anything, this sort of foolish act is something they would never commit.”
“Who do you suspect did it?”
Lu Dongbin asked.
A flash of brilliance in Sun Wukong’s eyes, he said, “There are two possibilities.
One is that there’s a force within the Three Realms unknown to us, looking to stir up conflict between me and Houtu and the others.”
At this point, another flash of brilliance, and he said, “The other possibility is that it was Tathagata or Baize who did it.
They probably have the same motive, to incite conflict between us and Houtu and the others and then reap the benefits.”
The first possibility was not very convincing to many.
After all, if such a power existed that dared to plot against Sun Wukong and Houtu, it must be very strong.
Yet they heard nothing about it within the Three Realms; the secrecy seemed too perfect, almost improbably so.
The second possibility seemed more likely.
Tathagata or Baize, hoping for chaos in the Three Realms so they could take the opportunity to rise.
A stable, united Three Realms is not what they wanted to see.
In that scenario, they would have no chance to achieve their goals.
Therefore, these two were the most likely suspects.
But Sun Wukong felt that things were not so simple.
“Was it you?”
The Jade Emperor frowned and looked at Lady Houtu with some displeasure.
If it really was Lady Houtu, that would be too foolish.
But Lady Houtu shook her head and said, “Do you think I’m that stupid?”
The Jade Emperor was surprised that it was not Lady Houtu who did it.
He frowned and said, “I thought it was you.
If it was someone else, then this matter is not simple.
Someone is plotting against us.”
“Tathagata or Baize?”
Lady Houtu asked.
The Jade Emperor shook his head and said, “It shouldn’t be Tathagata; he believes he has a sure win and wouldn’t engage in such deeds.
He simply wants things to proceed smoothly toward his predestined goal.
He definitely wouldn’t do something to provoke Sun Wukong.”
“Baize?” A glint of insight flashed through Lady Houtu’s eyes.
Nodding, the Jade Emperor said, “Probably so, very likely, it’s Baize, only he would think of such a strategy.”
“Heh, if we can think of it, so can Sun Wukong, who is a clever man and won’t be used by others,” Lady Houtu replied, now seemingly not worried.
“I hope so,” the Jade Emperor nodded, but his expression grew more solemn.
Apparently, some destabilizing factors were about to emerge before him.
At Baize’s location, the Nine-tailed Fox said with admiration, “Baize truly lives up to his reputation as a sage of the Ancient Heavenly Court; this idea is excellent.
It’s impossible for Sun Wukong not to confront Lady Houtu and the others.
Given his personality, he will certainly seek justice for his incense visitors.
Lord Baize’s tactics are indeed clever.”
Baize was slightly taken aback, then waved his hand and said, “I didn’t do it.”
“What?”
Everyone was stunned; it was not Baize’s doing.
Baize’s expression turned serious as he said in a heavy voice, “I have a feeling that I’ve been calculated against, that an unseen force is starting to plot against us.”
Everyone was shocked; how could there be an unknown force in the Three Realms?
They knew that Baize and others were already well-hidden, but still, many in the Three Realms were aware of their existence.
Now Baize was suggesting that a powerful force was plotting against them, which was quite alarming.
And who could scheme against Baize?
Just then, a bell-like laughter rang out, startling everyone present.
Baize thought deeply, that laugh sounded familiar.
The next moment, he widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Shao Siming.”
“Oh dear, you guessed it, how boring,” a coquettish voice came, its sweetness almost melting one’s bones.
Baize couldn’t help but shudder as he looked not far away.
A girl in a white dress appeared, seemingly only sixteen or seventeen years old, with bare, pure white feet, gleaming skin, and a face that fluctuated between joy and petulance, flawlessly beautiful to the extreme.
