Chapter 116: Find Someone Who Can Fight, Take the Lead
"Whom should I ask for help?
Even without inquiring with the Martial Emperor, Wukong had already made his calculations; it was only the Jade Emperor’s attitude that he found inscrutable.
After returning to the Earthly Fiends’ camp, he summoned the Star Lord of Loneliness from his array of divine generals, Yuhua, and instructed him to relay a message to True Lord of the Mysterious Altar, Zhao Gongming, inquiring if Zhao wished to seek revenge. If so, he should bring several capable fighters.
""Revenge? Capable fighters?"" Yuhua’s expression turned serious, and he immediately understood Wukong’s intention.

This was a life-and-death enmity, a grievance that had destroyed his path to enlightenment and severed his immortality. It could not possibly be forgotten!
Yuhua took his leave with the command, but instead of going directly to see Zhao Gongming, he headed for the dazzling river of stars north of the Milky Way to pay respects to the Divine Mother Jin Ling of the Golden Spirit in the Doumu Divine Palace.
""I pay my respects to my teacher’s predecessor."" Yuhua saluted, his usually proud demeanor replaced with great respect. He related Wukong’s request for Zhao Gongming’s assistance to her.
The Divine Mother Jin Ling, with a golden crown atop her head and draped in a golden robe, paced slowly within the hall. After listening, she stopped walking and gazed into the vast river of stars: ""It seems it’s about to begin.""
