64: Chapter 64: Blocking Changxi 64: Chapter 64: Blocking Changxi Wu Gang returned to the Moon Palace. Just at that moment, Nishang Fairy happened to pass by. Upon seeing Wu Gang, her expression subtly changed, and she murmured softly. “Tianpeng, how did you come here? Didn’t we agree not to meet each other anymore?” Nishang Fairy, dressed in a Seven-colored Celestial Robe, was exquisitely beautiful, her figure slim and graceful in every aspect. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, conveying a mix of three parts surprise, three parts shyness, two parts panic, and two parts confusion – an overall pitiable sight. However, Wu Gang felt no awe at all. Mistaken for that fellow Tianpeng, he knew his current appearance must be dreadful. “Nishang Fairy, stop your delirium. This old man is Wu Gang, not that good-for-nothing Tianpeng,” he said irritably. The complex expression on Nishang Fairy’s face instantly vanished. She glared at Wu Gang somewhat angrily and said, “Wu Gang, you’re truly shameless. Why are you masquerading with a pig’s head? Disgraceful.” “Slap.” A slap landed on Wu Gang’s face, and Nishang Fairy turned and walked away. Wu Gang was furious but also knew that Nishang Fairy was highly favored by Lord Taiyin. Although annoyed, he dared not retaliate against Nishang Fairy. Having been slapped for no reason, Wu Gang snorted coldly and headed toward where Lord Taiyin was. At that moment, Lord Taiyin was enjoying tea with Lu Dongbin. The two were having a pleasant conversation, which almost made Wu Gang’s eyes pop out. What was happening? Hadn’t they just been at daggers drawn? Lord Taiyin had even seemed ready to grind Lu Dongbin’s bones to dust. What was the situation now? “Why has Tianpeng come here?” Lord Taiyin gave a benevolent smile. Wu Gang immediately knelt in front of Lord Taiyin and cried out, “Star Lord, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am Wu Gang.” Lord Taiyin slightly startled, scrutinized Wu Gang intently. Then he spoke, “Even though you are wearing a pig’s head, I can still faintly recognize your originally handsome features. This person is indeed Wu Gang.” Wu Gang wanted to cry but had no tears. “Who hit you?” Lu Dongbin asked, surprised. Glaring angrily at Lu Dongbin, Wu Gang said resentfully, “Who else could it be, but that Horses’ Fortune.” Lu Dongbin looked perplexed and exclaimed, “Didn’t you tell the Great Saint that I had been captured by Lord Taiyin and asked him to rescue me?” Wu Gang replied indignantly, “Of course I did, but Horses’ Fortune said there is no monkey named Lu Dongbin in Huaguo Mountain, and he doesn’t know any Lu Dongbin.” Lu Dongbin’s face darkened. Lord Taiyin almost laughed out loud. Seeing that Lu Dongbin looked displeased, he quickly said, “Perhaps the Great Saint perceived my and my friend’s intentions. Let’s do this, I will personally invite the Great Saint.” Turning to Wu Gang, Lord Taiyin instructed, “Wu Gang, do not bear any grudge against the Great Saint, nor should you call him Horses’ Fortune. You must maintain the respect due to the Great Saint.” Wu Gang was indignant and bellowed, “That Horses’ Fortune went too far. I only gave Huaguo Mountain a single axe blow, and didn’t even break the barrier, yet he attacked me.” So that was it. Lu Dongbin immediately understood that if he had simply invited Sun Wukong over, he wouldn’t have been beaten up like this. “That you can still return is already very reasonable of the Great Saint. If it were the Great Saint’s temperament from before, you wouldn’t have been able to return at all,” he said. Wu Gang snorted coldly, “If it weren’t for Horses’ Fortune’s sneak attack, I might not necessarily have been his match.” “Enough,” Lord Taiyin uttered sharply. Wu Gang immediately shut his mouth and knelt down. “The Great Saint’s divine might is not something you can comprehend. From now on, you are not allowed to call the Great Saint Horses’ Fortune. If I hear it, I will surely punish you severely,” Lord Taiyin said with displeasure. Wu Gang knew that Lord Taiyin was angry and did not dare to neglect his duties, so he quickly responded, “Wu Gang understands.” “Go on.” Lord Taiyin waved his hand. Wu Gang stepped back. Lord Taiyin smiled and said, “It seems I must personally invite the Great Saint.” “There’s no need for you to trouble yourself, Lord, for Old Sun has arrived.” A voice arose beside the two, and Sun Wukong manifested. Lord Taiyin smiled faintly and said, “Great Saint’s divine skills have become even more astonishing; I did not sense your arrival.” Sun Wukong gave a faint smile and said, “Old Taiyin flatters me too much.” He glanced at Lu Dongbin and asked, “So, what trouble have you brought me this time?” Lu Dongbin let out a dry laugh, then his expression turned solemn. “Great Saint, I called you here for the sake of the common people.” “Are all the immortals of the Heavenly Court dead? The Three Pure Ones and Four Heavenly Masters, all those Heavenly Venerates whose divine skills surpass mine; can none of them save the common people?” Sun Wukong sneered. Lord Taiyin sighed. The Immortals and Buddhas could save them, but they would not. The Immortals and Buddhas cared more about their own safety. “A bunch of hypocrites, sitting high in their temples, accepting the people’s offerings,” Sun Wukong sneered. Lu Dongbin gave a bitter smile; he too was among the Immortals and Buddhas. Lord Taiyin felt embarrassed, unable to urge Sun Wukong to help. “Lord Taiyin, do not misunderstand, I am not targeting you. Just speak your mind.” Sun Wukong calmed down, and said lightly. “My mother is returning.” Lord Taiyin said. “Changxi.” Sun Wukong’s forehead twitched. Ancient Goddess Changxi, wife of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Emperor Jun, mother of twelve moons. The current Lord Taiyin was one of the daughters of Changxi. The impending return of an ancient goddess was now signaled by Lord Taiyin’s announcement that Changxi was returning, a signal that many ancient gods might also be returning. “Does Old Taiyin wish to help Changxi return?” Sun Wukong asked. Lord Taiyin shook her head, her voice grave, “That is not my intention; rather, I hope the Great Saint will join me in blocking my mother’s return, to ensure the peace of the Three Realms.” Sun Wukong was surprised. Lord Taiyin gave a faint smile, and said, “Nowadays, although the immortals of the Three Realms are selfish, they are generally tranquil and do not arbitrarily harm the weaker beings of the Three Realms. However, the era of the ancient gods was a Primitive Wilderness, where might makes right. In their eyes, any being weaker than themselves is but an ant. Their return would spell a great calamity for the beings of the Three Realms.” Sun Wukong understood. Lord Taiyin was, for the sake of the beings of the Three Realms, prepared to practice justice at the expense of familial ties. “When my mother was banished, I was part of it, although she is my mother, I do not agree with the brutality of the ancient gods.” Lord Taiyin revealed a secret. “Noble indeed, Star Lord,” Lu Dongbin said, visibly moved, praising highly. Sun Wukong thought for a moment, then looked up and said, “I’ll help, not for the beings of the Three Realms, but to clash with these ancient gods. To know your enemy, you must know yourself, for a hundred battles will all be victorious. Old Sun actually knows that the return of the ancient gods is nearly a fait accompli, and now we are merely delaying the inevitable.” Lord Taiyin’s expression turned solemn. Sun Wukong was right. The return of the ancient gods was indeed an inevitability. When that time comes, all beings of the Three Realms will inevitably stand opposed to the ancient gods, with no one remaining uninvolved.
