Chapter 669 -670 Stay Out of the Way (3rd Update!)
(PS: Caught a flight to Beijing this afternoon; I’m afraid I won’t have time to write today. So, three updates it is.)
“Great Elder, Peng Fei has committed an unforgivable transgression and must be thrown into the Wind Thunder Pond to be refined by the Power of Wind and Thunder as a warning to others!”
The Third Elder proposed.
“Thrown into the Wind Thunder Pond? Isn’t that the place where your clan members undergo their baptism?”
Sun Wukong asked with some surprise, quietly turning to inquire of the Demon King.
“The Wind Thunder Pond indeed serves as a site for baptism, but it is also a place of punishment. Those unharmed who enter can absorb the Power of Wind and Thunder, their wings inscribed with the Laws of the Space-Time Great Dao. However, should an injured person enter, they absolutely cannot withstand the erosion of the Power of Wind and Thunder, and will be directly refined into primal spiritual energy, their soul utterly dispersed.”
“Damn! That harsh? The Third Elder is really ruthless, using people and then discarding them, besides executing such vicious acts to silence them!”
Sun Wukong clicked his tongue and suddenly had an idea. Before, he had severely injured Peng Fei, the Great Roc King, leaving him bone-broken and barely alive, unable to speak, which was why the Third Elder was so eager to have Peng Fei executed. Once Peng Fei died, his conspiracy would be known by no one.
“Heh, thinking about killing to silence someone, huh? I, Old Sun, won’t let you get your way so easily!”
Sun Wukong sneered to himself, coughed lightly, and spoke, “Great Elder, esteemed Elders, how you deal with Peng Fei is none of my business, but before that, I, Old Sun, have some things I need clarifications on. Once I, Old Sun, get my answers, you can proceed as you intend; how’s that?”
“What does the Great Sage want to ask? He’s barely breathing, and I doubt he can respond.”
The Great Elder frowned, puzzled by Sun Wukong’s sudden request. There had been ample opportunity to ask questions while transporting Peng Fei, yet Sun Wukong had asked nothing, so why the sudden urge to inquire now?
“What’s so hard about that? Just heal him first so he can speak, that’s all.”
Sun Wukong chuckled lightly, reached out his hand, and drew the limp Great Roc King Peng Fei into his grasp. He began infusing Chaos Primordial Force into him to heal his injuries.
“Hold on!”
The Third Elder panicked and called out to stop him, “Great Sage Sun, Peng Fei has committed heinous crimes. You’re healing him, but what if he flees once he’s recovered? You can ask us any questions you have. Our Golden Winged Great Roc Clan has many, and we surely know more details than Peng Fei!”
“Is that so?”
Sun Wukong’s lips curved into a mocking smile, “But I, Old Sun, feel there are things only he can clarify!”
Saying this, the Chaos Primordial Force had already been channeled into the body of the Great Roc King Peng Fei, repairing his fractured ribcage and realigning his dislocated throat bone bit by bit, ensuring he would regain the ability to speak, which would certainly lead him to reveal the Third Elder’s conspiracy!
“Stop! If this traitor escapes, can you bear the responsibility?”
The Third Elder was really anxious now. He shouted harshly while reaching out to grab Great Roc King Peng Fei.
“Bang!”
With one hand, Sun Wukong held the Great Roc King Peng Fei, channeling Chaos Primordial Force to heal his injuries, while with his other fist, he blasted towards the Third Elder. Fist met claw, but Sun Wukong stood immobile, and the Third Elder was blasted back seven or eight steps before he managed to steady himself, his face deathly pale.
“I, Old Sun, said I had questions for him. Who dares to obstruct?”
The cold glint in Sun Wukong’s eyes flared fiercely as he stared down the Third Elder, “He was captured by me, I, Old Sun, obviously won’t let him escape. Who asked you to butt in? Or is it because you have a guilty conscience that you’re afraid to let him speak?”
“You, you’re slandering with blood on your lips!”
The Third Elder was shaken by Sun Wukong’s punch, causing his qi-blood to surge tumultuously, and his face turned beet red. Barely suppressing a spurt of blood, he was nearly overwhelmed upon hearing Sun Wukong’s merciless accusation.
“Whether you’re slandering or not, you know in your heart! Enough with the nonsense. Get out of the way and stay quiet. Make one more move, and do not blame me, Old Sun, for not giving face to your Golden Winged Great Roc Clan!”
A fierce and chilling intent emanated from Sun Wukong, enveloping his face as he spoke. A bone-chilling killing intent rose from him, causing the skilled fighters of the Golden Winged Great Roc Clan around him to feel a cold shiver down their spines, instinctively stepping back in shock, their faces filled with horror. Even the Great Elder’s face involuntarily twitched.
He was a being of the Sub-Saint Realm, yet in front of Sun Wukong, he felt as if he was facing a Heavenly Dao Saint, hardly mustering the courage to resist. The strength of this Great Sage, it seemed, was perhaps even greater than the legends suggested!
“Big brother, are you really going to let an outsider act so recklessly in our clan’s territory?”
The Third Elder, swept by Sun Wukong’s murderous gaze, felt a sudden unease and dared not make another move. However, unwilling to give in, he turned his gaze to the Great Elder, hoping he would stop Sun Wukong.
“Third brother, no need to say more. Just let Great Sage Sun treat him a bit. As long as he can speak, that’s enough. With so many of us here, are you really afraid he might fly away?”
After giving the Third Elder a glance, the Great Elder spoke indifferently. He, too, felt that the Third Elder’s reaction was overly agitated, seemingly amiss—is it possible that Sun Wukong’s accusation was true and he harbored guilt, thus fearing Great Roc King Peng Fei might speak out and preferring to silence him beforehand?
“But…”
“Enough! Are my words meaningless to you now?”

The Third Elder wanted to say more, but a stern shout from the Great Elder silenced him. He reluctantly closed his mouth, yet his gaze towards Sun Wukong was filled with venomous resentment and an undeniable panic that began to show.
“Alright, Peng Fei, I, Old Sun, have already treated some of your injuries. You can speak now! Tell me, is there someone behind you giving orders? Who is it? Speak, and Old Sun might even consider sparing your life!”
After treating the injuries to Peng Fei’s sternum and throat, Sun Wukong stopped infusing his Chaos Primordial Force and pressed Peng Fei for answers.
“You, you would really spare me?”
The eyes of Great Roc King Peng Fei brightened with a glimmer of hope for survival.
“That depends on what you say. If you speak the truth, I, Old Sun, might consider it. But if you remain stubborn, then don’t blame me, Old Sun, for being ruthless!”
“I’ll speak, I’ll tell everything!”
Great Roc King Peng Fei gasped twice, struggling to raise his hand to point at the Third Elder, “It was him! He was the one who ordered me!”
“Scoundrel! How dare you frame me, you’re seeking death!”
The Third Elder’s face turned furious as a Great Halberd appeared in his hand, ready to strike at Great Roc King Peng Fei. But a crisp sound rang out as the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod intercepted the Great Halberd, sending a tremendous force that hurled the Third Elder along with his halberd flying back.
“I, Old Sun, have said it—if you dare to raise a hand again, I won’t let you off lightly! Do you think I, Old Sun, am joking with you?”
Boom!
A towering Great Dao towered behind Sun Wukong, manifesting the illusion of the Space-Time Great Dao!
