377: Chapter 204 Demon Realm_4 377: Chapter 204 Demon Realm_4 Some achieve enlightenment and ascend to the heavens in a flash. Meanwhile, within the Southern Continent, the Buddhist Sect flourished. Because the Southern Continent entered a golden age, Daoist Practitioners secluded themselves for cultivation, while the Buddhist Sect seized the opportunity to expand. Devotees and incense offerings were beyond count, and various temples spread throughout the entire Southern Continent. Even the incense offerings to the Great Sage Sect were somewhat suppressed, not quite as prosperous as the Buddhist Sect. However, the Great Sage Sect remained peaceful, unbothered by these matters—they wholeheartedly protected anyone who sought refuge with them. This made the burgeoning Buddhist Sect no threat to the Great Sage Sect. Moreover, the Great Sage Sect never protected the wicked. Hence, some malefactors turned to the Buddhist Sect instead. For a time, the ranks within the Buddhist Sect were mixed with good and bad, causing quite a few incidents, which also led to a backlash from living beings. Sun Wukong did not concern himself with these matters; he simply continued his cultivation. Only by possessing sufficient strength does one have the means to face all unforeseen changes. At present, his power was still inadequate, making him appear somewhat weak. One day, Yang Jian suddenly paid a visit, his expression grave. Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised, understanding in his heart that something significant must have occurred. Indeed, as soon as Yang Jian spoke, he said, “Great Saint, Nezha is in trouble.” Sun Wukong’s expression shifted slightly as he stared at Yang Jian, asking, “What happened?” Nezha, that guy with a rebellious nature and an impulsive character—if there was trouble, it definitely meant serious trouble. The fact that Yang Jian came to find Sun Wukong indicated that the matter was no small issue. Yang Jian’s face looked rather unpleasant as he said in a solemn voice, “Nezha almost killed Li Jing. Great Emperor Ziwei wants to hold him accountable, but Nezha revolted and left the Heavenly Court. Now, Great Emperor Ziwei is enraged and insists on capturing Nezha to properly deal with him.” So it was this serious. Sun Wukong’s expression shifted slightly. The conflict between Nezha and Li Jing had long-standing roots. This father and son’s discord was not new. He hadn’t expected Nezha to actually inflict heavy injuries on Li Jing. “How is Li Jing now?” Sun Wukong inquired. “Severely injured and comatose, on the brink of death. Nezha’s hand was too heavy; he almost killed him,” Yang Jian responded. Upon hearing Yang Jian’s words, Sun Wukong exhaled in relief and said with a laugh, “Good thing he’s not dead, as long as a person isn’t dead, things can be managed.” Yang Jian looked at Sun Wukong speechlessly, incredulous that Sun Wukong considered it fortunate under such circumstances. With a wry smile, Yang Jian said, “The main issue now is that Great Emperor Ziwei is furious and wants to apprehend Nezha. The more Nezha resists, the greater his crimes will become. If the Great Saint sees him, please tell him to return to the Heavenly Court to admit his guilt; I can still save him then.” As a Judicial Deity, Yang Jian was basically impartial towards everyone. But for Nezha, he chose to protect him. If he couldn’t even protect his own brother, then being a Judicial Deity was meaningless. “Why should he admit his guilt?” Sun Wukong asked in surprise. Yang Jian was taken aback, puzzled. “My brother won’t be touched by Ziwei. I’ll just have a word with him,” Sun Wukong said with a smile, completely unconcerned. It was blatant favoritism; who could object? “But as for Li Jing, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain,” Yang Jian said with a hint of hesitation. Sun Wukong scoffed, “What explanation? Parents are responsible for not disciplining their children. It’s good enough that he hasn’t been held accountable, so what’s there to explain? Besides, it was his own son who hurt him, so it’s all his own fault.” Yang Jian looked perplexed upon hearing Sun Wukong’s straightforward logic. In the end, he couldn’t help but give Sun Wukong a thumbs-up. Truly worthy of being the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, his thinking was uniquely rebellious. However, Yang Jian felt more reassured. With Sun Wukong protecting Nezha, he believed nothing serious would happen to him. Even if Nezha no longer served in the Ziwei Heavenly Court, it was better than facing punishment. “If Nezha comes looking for you, please keep him from going out and causing more trouble,” Yang Jian said with a wry smile. Sun Wukong nodded slightly. He also felt that Nezha should no longer be allowed to cause trouble. That guy was lawless, even more arrogant and unruly than Sun Wukong himself, and refused to be taught. Without restrictions, he would only grow more uncontrollable. “He’s grown up and still acts without considering the consequences. Why is he so impulsive?” Sun Wukong complained. Yang Jian nodded in agreement, feeling that Nezha was indeed too impulsive. Sun Wukong continued, “If it were me, I’d definitely find a place with no one around, then strike in secret, ensuring a fatal blow and erasing any trace of my involvement. That way, trouble wouldn’t trace back to me. Nezha is just too naïve.” Yang Jian opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was the naive one for underestimating Sun Wukong. He thought Sun Wukong would share his perspective, but it turned out Sun Wukong was simply criticizing Nezha for not being ruthless enough. With a wry smile, Yang Jian didn’t know what to say. He bowed to Sun Wukong and took his leave immediately. Yang Jian felt it was more reliable to find Nezha himself. If Nezha encountered Sun Wukong and received his advice, the trouble he caused in the future would only become greater. “Haha.” Sun Wukong laughed heartily. Lu Dongbin and the others also heard what had happened and were all shaking their heads in disbelief. There had always been rumors in the Three Realms of the discord between father and son. They had thought it was merely gossip, as in the past at the Heavenly Court, the two seemed fairly affectionate with Li Jing and Nezha hardly ever opposing him. Who would have thought that Nezha could actually attempt to kill Li Jing? “Great Saint, shall we go look for the Third Prince?” Lu Dongbin asked. Sun Wukong shook his head, saying, “No need. With his strength, if he doesn’t want to be found, we won’t be able to, so there’s no point in looking.”
