Chapter 839 -744: Zhu Bajie’s Strange Behavior (This Chapter Can Be Skipped)
(I had an interview today, so I really didn’t have time to write the second chapter. So there will only be one chapter today, but I promise, I will make it up tomorrow, definitely!)
“What was that just now? Why did you attack Six-Eared Macaque? Did you not recognize him either?” Sun Wukong’s tone was already a bit angry. Zhu Bajie hurriedly said, “No, Brother Monkey, my body was suddenly controlled, completely unresponsive to my commands. I originally agreed with Six-Eared to fight those Golden Armor men together!” The nearby White Dragon and Sha Wujing also nodded in agreement, proving that Zhu Bajie was telling the truth. Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie, then at Six-Eared, and then at the Dragon Emperor and his companions, remaining silent. In fact, Sun Wukong should have recognized the Dragon Emperor long ago, but all five of them were wearing golden full-body armor that only exposed their eyes, and the armor also had the effect of isolating their aura, so neither Sun Wukong nor Sha Wujing recognized them.
“Six-Eared. Listen to me, it was a misunderstanding just now, Bajie definitely didn’t do it on purpose, we have no ill intentions towards you!” Sun Wukong’s explanation seemed somewhat weak at the moment. Six-Eared Macaque had almost started to believe Zhu Bajie’s words, as he also began to suspect that his and Lin Xi’s memories might have been tampered with. But now, although he still felt that his memory was somewhat off, he had lost all trust in Zhu Bajie and the others. No matter what Sun Wukong said, the wariness in Six-Eared Macaque’s eyes did not diminish a bit.
“No more nonsense, do you think this trick will work again? If you want to fight, then let’s fight!” Although he said this, Six-Eared Macaque did not order an attack. Now that the enemy was strong and they were weak, forcibly fighting would probably yield no good results. Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor and his companions also made up their minds in an instant. In the Dragon Emperor’s view, the people with Six-Eared Macaque were undoubtedly enemies. Initially, the attitude of Zhu Bajie and the other two was unclear, but seeing Sun Wukong now, he knew Zhu Bajie and the others must be following Sun Wukong’s orders. Although he did not have much of a relationship with Sun Wukong, they had fought together before, and were considered acquaintances. Judging from Sun Wukong’s demeanor, Six-Eared Macaque was also his acquaintance, so it seemed that there was no need to fight this battle.
The Dragon Emperor lightly coughed as he removed his golden helmet. Sun Wukong immediately noticed, and when he turned his head to see that the Golden Armor man was the Dragon Emperor, he was astonished. “Dragon Emperor? Why, how could it be you? Where did you go back then? Why are you here now?” Since the battle in the Patrolling Celestial World, where the Dragon Emperor led the Dragon Race away, Sun Wukong had never seen him again. The Dragon Emperor looked intensely at Sun Wukong and said, “I led the Dragon Race to where we should go. Sun Wukong, we are acquaintances. Although we have no deep relationship, we have no grievances either. And I see that you and that person are also acquaintances, so I think there is no need for this battle.”
Sun Wukong immediately nodded in agreement and said, “That is the best. If we can avoid fighting, it is naturally the best. To tell you the truth, that person is my brother, but his memory was tampered with, so he doesn’t remember us. Rest assured, with me here, I will not let him go against you again. By the way, Dragon Emperor, are you here for that so-called Eternity?” To Sun Wukong’s question, the Dragon Emperor did not give a direct answer, he just nodded, which was an acknowledgment. Then he glanced at Six-Eared Macaque and turned to leave with Dragon Blood and Dragon Bone.
The drawback of being understaffed is that we can’t confront others head-on, and can only engage in some behind-the-scenes maneuvers. Moreover, the Dragon Emperor knew that the ultimate purpose of their coming here was not for the Eternity. Yet, as soon as the Dragon Emperor turned around, and the golden wings on his back barely began to unfold, Zhu Bajie’s eyes suddenly became confused. He then turned around without hesitation, the Nine-Toothed Rake in his hand already covered in a layer of crimson flame, and struck down hard on the Dragon Emperor’s back with one unsophisticated blow. The Dragon Emperor, caught off guard, spewed a mouthful of golden blood.
This scene shocked everyone once again. If Zhu Bajie’s sudden attack on Six-Eared Macaque could be explained as secretly helping the Dragon Emperor, then his strike on the Dragon Emperor could not be justified. Just as the Dragon Emperor was hit by Zhu Bajie, the expressions of White Dragon and Sha Wujing also became confused, and the two simultaneously attacked Sun Wukong from both sides. Although Sun Wukong was also startled by Zhu Bajie’s actions, he quickly reacted. With a thought, two figures, one black and one white, flashed out from within his body, blocking the attacks of Sha Wujing and White Dragon.
“Fool, what are you trying to do? Old Sha, White Dragon, what’s wrong with you?” Just as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong’s Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes saw something. Inside Zhu Bajie, there was a constantly leaping indistinct colored flame, and in Sha Wujing’s body, there was a rolling mass of water. In White Dragon’s body, there was a small golden tree emitting dazzling golden light.
“This, is this the power Bajie mentioned that is controlling the three of them?” As soon as he said this, Zhu Bajie suddenly grabbed the falling Dragon Emperor and intended to escape. How could Sun Wukong let Zhu Bajie get away so easily? Just as he was about to pursue, White Dragon and Sha Wujing stood in his way. Although Sun Wukong didn’t catch up, Dragon Blood and Dragon Bone immediately pursued. The Dragon Emperor was their clan leader; how could they let him be taken away? At the same time, Six-Eared Macaque and his comrades also made a move. They aimed to capture Zhu Bajie as well.
After Zhu Bajie attacked the Dragon Emperor, Lin Xi had already noticed something unusual about Zhu Bajie. After discussing, Lin Xi and Six-Eared Macaque decided to capture Zhu Bajie first, as there was definitely something wrong with him. Thus, the current situation unfolded. However, just as Six-Eared Macaque and the others rushed forward, they were intercepted by Dragon Bone and Dragon Blood. They could no longer determine which side Zhu Bajie was on, but Six-Eared Macaque was undoubtedly their enemy. Seeing that Six-Eared Macaque was about to catch up, they naturally wouldn’t allow it. Yet, they let Long Li alone chase after Zhu Bajie; they had to reclaim the Dragon Emperor first.
The situation suddenly became extremely chaotic. Zhu Bajie, carrying the Dragon Emperor, flew wildly, followed by Long Li. Behind Long Li were Jixin and Bi Hai. Six-Eared Macaque, Lin Xi, Jing Potian, and Bu Yun were blocked by Dragon Bone and his companions. Sun Wukong was also held off by Sha Wujing and White Dragon. However, this stalemate did not last long. With Xi Zhao’s sudden burst, the scene became even more chaotic. Xi Zhao had been battling the Flame God all along, very passively due to the Nine Heavens Tranquility Dew in the Flame God’s hands. Despite Xi Zhao’s caution, he still carelessly got contaminated by the Nine Heavens Tranquility Dew. The Nine Heavens Tranquility Dew had the power to dissolve a person’s entire cultivation, which was the deadliest poison for cultivators.
The moment Xi Zhao got stained with the Nine Heavens Tranquility Dew, he instantly used his ultimate trump card, the Underworld God Transformation, which he had intended to save for the final battle. After gaining the full legacy of the Underworld Venerate, Xi Zhao’s strength had indeed greatly increased, but his biggest gain was obtaining the Underworld God Transformation ability. Xi Zhao also received a piece of information from the Underworld Venerate’s legacy – the Underworld Venerate’s legacy in the Annihilation Demon Nation was not complete. Before the epic battle in ancient times, the Underworld Venerate made many arrangements.
First, he set up two seals for himself, which would activate the moment he died. One seal would separate his soul from his body. The second seal would send his soul and body to two ready-made altars. As for the purpose of this arrangement, we’ll talk about it later.
For now, let’s discuss the two altars. One altar was found by the Crimson Army after the epic battle, but before they could destroy it, the altar triggered itself due to the Underworld Venerate’s arrangements, sending the sealed soul to another location. The other altar, which sealed the Underworld Venerate’s body’s power, was in the territory of the former Annihilation Demon Nation, found later by Xi Zhao. (To be continued.
