Chapter 241 - 233: The Three Sages Deliberate in Tushita Palace
The war between Buddha and demon ended with the Buddhist sect defeated, and Tathagata fleeing the scene.
Wukong ventured alone deep into the western deserts to find Five Fingers Mountain, where Tathagata had used to suppress Xiao Qing. He himself had once been pinned under the very same mountain. Fortunately, Xiao Qing had resolved her ordeal; otherwise, she would have faced suppression for the second time. Xuan Ming had played a role in calculating this outcome.
Xiao Qing, suppressed under Five Fingers Mountain, fell into a drowsy stupor each day. One day, she suddenly felt lighter, as if she was about to float away.
Opening her eyes, she saw that Five Fingers Mountain had been lifted from her body and was rising slowly.
Xiao Qing didn’t dare to delay, and quickly flew out for several miles before she stopped.
It was indeed Wukong who had uprooted Five Fingers Mountain. Seeing Xiao Qing escape, he laughed heartily, released his grip, and with the Creation Heavenly Mechanism Staff in hand, smashed the Five Fingers Mountain into rubble, ensuring it would never exist again. Although he had rescued Xiao Qing, he still couldn’t resolve his hatred for Tathagata; after all, he had let him escape!
Xiao Qing was slightly stunned but could not help shouting excitedly, "Brother Monkey!"
Wukong carried the staff on his back, hands resting on it, and lazily strolled over, saying, "You’ve had it tough!"
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "You are a great hero of the Demon Tribe, while I am just a mere snake spirit with meager mana. For the entire Demon Tribe, it’s worth it for me to make such a sacrifice!"
Wukong squinted, smiling, "Soon, we’ll be free, and no one will dare to oppress us anymore."
Xiao Qing smiled with joy, looking at the colorful dawn in the sky as if she saw hope.
