57: Chapter 57 Let Him Die on the Side 57: Chapter 57 Let Him Die on the Side Barefoot Immortal softly chanted, his mana surged, forming a magical sword in front of him, which he then slashed forward. Clang. The magic sword shattered, and he, too, was struck by Sun Wukong with a staff. Splat. A stream of fresh blood spurted from the mouth of Barefoot Immortal as he staggered backward. This was just the beginning of their encounter, and Barefoot Immortal was already injured. Kuimu Wolf and the Golden-Eyed Beast exchanged glances, both seeing the fear in each other’s eyes. This monkey was excessively formidable. They clenched their teeth and charged forward. One wielded a steel knife while the other summoned back his Wolf Fang Club, controlling it in his hand, and they attacked Sun Wukong from both sides. With a disdainful glance, Sun Wukong charged directly towards Kuimu Wolf. Kuimu Wolf was petrified, losing his courage at once. He turned and ran. “Haha.” Sun Wukong laughed out loud but did not continue the chase; instead, he turned to attack the Golden-Eyed Beast. Clang. Jingu Bang collided with the Wolf Fang Club, sending the Wolf Fang Club along with the Golden-Eyed Beast flying. The Golden-Eyed Beast spewed a mouthful of blood, looking at Sun Wukong with eyes full of terror. In his heart, he almost cursed Barefoot Immortal to death. Wasn’t it said Sun Wukong was not strong? Just moments into their encounter with Sun Wukong, all three were injured from his attacks. If this continued, they feared they would all die by Sun Wukong’s hand. Great Sage Equalling Heaven, truly a title well-deserved. If Sun Wukong were to kill, since the opponent came to crush him, he naturally had no reason to be polite. A golden staff emerged from the void, blocking Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang. Wind-Listening Great Sage stepped out from the void, his face wearing a bitter smile. “Nihou, could you, for Nihou’s sake, spare their lives?” Sun Wukong stared at him, speaking indifferently, “Call me Great Sage Equalling Heaven, or call me Grandpa Sun.” At these words, Wind-Listening Great Sage, the Macaque King, shuddered, indicating that their brotherly bonds were now thoroughly severed. With a somewhat gloomy expression, Wind-Listening Great Sage furrowed his brow and said, “Great Saint, I really don’t want to be your enemy, and what we are doing now doesn’t concern you. I hope you won’t make things difficult for us.” “This good-for-nothing attempted to intercept and kill me, yet you say what you guys are doing doesn’t concern Old Sun — how can I believe that?” Sun Wukong pointed at Barefoot Immortal, his cold laughter ongoing. Wind-Listening Great Sage was at a loss for words. He glared at Barefoot Immortal; it was all this man’s fault for constantly acting foolishly, which led to a fallout with Sun Wukong. “Nihou, just as a last favor for your brother; I owe you one.” Wind-Listening Great Sage pleaded. Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, mockingly saying, “When Old Sun was captured by the Heavenly Court years ago, I didn’t see you step out to do anything for Old Sun. Now, for a few rotten shrimps and fish, you beg me — truly a good brother.” Wind-Listening Great Sage fell silent. “Lest anyone say Old Sun is heartless and ungrateful, today I’ll grant you this favor; take them and leave.” Wind-Listening Great Sage bowed and was about to lead Barefoot Immortal and the others away. However, Barefoot Immortal shouted angrily, “Sun Wukong, who are you calling rotten shrimps and fish? Macaque King, why aren’t you acting? Are you planning to betray that person?” Sun Wukong scoffingly said, “Macaque King, it seems someone appreciates your favor.” Macaque King did not even glance at Barefoot Immortal. He said indifferently, “Just some rotten shrimps and fish, saved casually; what he thinks has nothing to do with me.” “Heh, that Bald Donkey’s judgment is growing worse; he’s taking anyone as his subordinate. I also advise you, Macaque King, to leave that old coin early, otherwise you will eventually implicate yourself.” The corner of Macaque King’s mouth twitched slightly; he said softly, “Thank you for the kind thought, Great Sage.” “Leave,” Sun Wukong said. Macaque King: “...” The Barefoot Immortal seemed to have something else to say. However, with a single strike of his staff, Macaque King smashed it down on his head. Clang. Instantly, blood gushed out from the Barefoot Immortal’s head. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot. “Too noisy,” said the Macaque King coldly. Kuimu Wolf and the Golden-Eyed Beast didn’t dare to make a peep and followed the Macaque King as he left. Only when they had completely disappeared did Sun Wukong speak, “Have you watched enough of the excitement?” A Divine General appeared, with a red-faced and bearded visage, dressed in golden armor and a red robe, and three eyes on his forehead, his aura commanding. He smiled slightly and said, “Wang Shan has seen the Great Saint.” “Spiritual Official Wang, it’s been a while. It seems that the Daoist Sect is not completely in the dark. They must have sensed that person’s schemes by now, having you personally tail him. That fellow’s plot is likely to fall through,” laughed Sun Wukong. A chill went through his heart, as he had initially thought the Daoist Sect knew nothing. Now, it seemed he had underestimated the Daoist Sect. Both the Buddhist Realm and the Daoist Sect were thoroughly cunning to the core; the giants from all sides had nothing simple about them. He was still worried about the Buddhist Realm overturning the Eastern Continent and dominating the Three Realms. Now, it seemed that he had been needlessly fretting. These old fellows of the Daoist Sect, if one talked about depth of scheming, were perhaps even above the Buddhist Realm. Spiritual Official Wang smiled slightly and said, “My Daoist Sect believes in peace and inaction, harboring no intent to harm others. We think everything in the world exists for a reason; otherwise, the Buddhist Sect would not have reached its present state.” Sun Wukong nodded; in this regard, the Daoist Sect was far stronger than the Buddhist Realm. If the Buddhist Realm were in the Daoist Sect’s position, they would definitely not allow the Daoist Sect to grow and strengthen. However, this also proved that the bigwigs of the Daoist Sect never regarded the Buddhist Realm as a threat. “Since Spiritual Official Wang is watching, I’ll stay out of it and take my leave here,” Sun Wukong prepared to leave. He did not want to get entangled in the strife between Buddhism and Daoism. He was a demon, and all of this was irrelevant to him. “Great Saint, please wait a moment,” called Spiritual Official Wang. Sun Wukong looked at him and asked, “You wouldn’t also be trying to crush Old Sun to death, would you?” Spiritual Official Wang gave a wry smile and said, “Great Saint, you misunderstand. There is someone who wishes to meet you.” Sun Wukong chuckled and asked in return, “The Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor?” Spiritual Official Wang was momentarily startled. Quickly, he nodded and said, “Great Saint is indeed wise.” “Not interested, he can drop dead for all I care. Don’t even think about getting Old Sun involved; I just want to live a peaceful life.” Before Spiritual Official Wang could react, Sun Wukong had already disappeared on a Somersault Cloud. Spiritual Official Wang: “...” This mission was considered a failure. Various parties wanted to win over Sun Wukong, but he paid no attention to any of them. Nobody thought about forcing him, given Sun Wukong’s personality, if anyone dared to force him, he would definitely turn hostile immediately. “This monkey, after thousands of years, has become somewhat unpredictable, even I don’t know what he’s thinking anymore.” In the Immortal Peach Orchard, the Local Deity smiled faintly; the scene had unfolded under his surveillance. Sun Wukong had entered the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, where the old Dragon King hurriedly came to greet him.
