Chapter 129: Causes and Origins
Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s Mansion, Sun Wukong clad in golden armor, sat high on his throne.
After listening to Yuan Hong and Deng Jiugong’s report, a fierce light flashed through his eyes, and he sneered, "The soldiers of the Earthly Fiends fought tirelessly in the lower realm to stabilize the region of Beiming and ensure peace.
As the North Heavenly Revered One personally appointed by His Majesty, I am tasked with overseeing the Northern Heavenly Court, examining good and evil, and holding the power of rewards and punishments,
Now, let’s see. I’m eager to find out who dares to embezzle the military provisions of the Earthly Fiends division."
With that, he rose to his feet in one step and left the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s Mansion.
Yuan Hong and Deng Jiugong exchanged glances and hastened to follow him.
The two divine generals could hardly contain their anger. They indeed wanted to blow up the situation, for with the North Heavenly Revered One on their side, who would they fear?
The Earthly Fiends had originally been under the command of Guardian Saint Zhenjun, one of the four Saints of the North, and were governed by the Central Heavenly North Pole Purple Tenuity Emperor, with all military provisions being distributed by the Purple Tenuity Emperor’s Mansion.
When Guardian Saint Zhenjun was in charge, the supplies of the Earthly Fiends were distributed according to military merit and strength.
But ever since Guardian Saint Zhenjun had been conferred the title of True Martial Great Emperor and announced his resignation from the Earthly Fiends, the regulations for distributing provisions had changed.
