Chapter 31: Old Sun Also Wants to Sue
Why does Lord Qin Guang feel guilty?
Sun Wukong realized at once—it must be like when he destroyed the Dragon Palace; he had stirred up trouble in the underworld in quick succession.
Therefore, Lord Qin Guang went back on his word, did not resign from his position as Lord of the Netherworld, but instead, in league with Ao Guang, came to lodge a complaint against him, aiming to erase his own sin of ensnaring the soul of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
Now, realizing something was amiss, he felt guilty and regretful!
At that moment, all the immortals could see Lord Qin Guang’s guilt, and they all speculated about the reason, but no one dared to speak, for the Heavenly Emperor had not spoken yet.
His Majesty the Jade Emperor sat aloft on the Nine Heavens throne, his tassels veiling his face, still expressionless, did not respond to Lord Qin Guang’s petition, instead, he gently tapped on the armrest of the throne with his finger.
The atmosphere within the Lingxiao Treasure Hall seemed to have frozen.
"Hehe..." Sun Wukong, with a swift rotation of his spirited eyes, suddenly exclaimed loud, "Your Majesty, I also wish to lodge a complaint!"
Lord Qin Guang was startled, his soul nearly fled; from where he mustered the courage, he shouted, "Sun Wukong, you, you, you have not been exonerated of the suspicion of destroying the Dragon Palace and causing chaos in the underworld; how have you the right to lodge a complaint here!"
Tai Bai Jin Xing stepped forward, smiling genially, and said, "Lord of the Netherworld, even a prisoner has the right to seek justice."
