Heaven-Defying Rebel Sage

It was said that as Wukong was about to seize the Plain-colored Cloud Banner, the Queen Mother sensed it and knew immediately that something was amiss. She quickly informed the Three Xiaos.

The hearts of the Three Xiaos sank when they learned of their brother’s peril. Zhao Gongming, a man once listed on the Investiture of the Gods, if slain again, would indeed vanish like smoke, becoming nothing more than a painted cake. In a panic, they descended to the mortal world first and witnessed Yuan Hong savagely beating Zhao Gongming to death.

Yuan Hong, showing his teeth in a grin, said, "You three little ladies, don’t talk big, be careful your tongue doesn’t snap in the wind."

Bi Xiao, grief-stricken, shouted angrily, "Demon Monkey, today you shall surely die alongside my brother!"

Yuan Hong cackled strangely, "Even if you kill me, I can still ascend to the Deification Platform and won’t die with your brother! Heh heh!"

Yuan Hong, having lived for 120,000 years, was indeed an old demon. His skill in heart-wrenching deceit was perfect; he struck right at the sore spots of the Three Xiaos, enraging them to the point where their Three Corpse Gods leaped about like thunder.

Bi Xiao cursed, "If that’s the case, then let’s kill you once more!"

Meanwhile, Wukong had finished his task. Wu Zhiqi and Sun Wukong had taken care of the Thunder Department’s gods, reducing them to ash.

Bi Xiao said softly, "Don’t be rash, everyone here is difficult to deal with. Let’s wait for the Jade Emperor’s army before we make any plans."

Yuan Hong, playing with the Cornucopia and the Dropping Money, grinned broadly and said, "After robbing the God of Wealth, I’ve become a tycoon! I am Yuan Hong, and I speak for the tycoons!"

"Damn it, this is going too far!" Even the three of them couldn’t help but curse Yuan Hong’s ancestors.
