Chapter 140: Provoking Authority, Who’s Outsmarting Whom
This old thief is cunning indeed!
He started with a scolding, which seemed to implicate Ziwei Great Emperor and Wukong as well, but in reality, he downplayed the severity of the issue, turning an ugly affair into a trivial dispute and squabble.
Then he proceeded to destroy the evidence. One could imagine that once the Vajra Grand Formation was broken, any trace of the formation would be erased, allowing Wukong and Xu Gai to entirely deny their guilt, maybe even counter-accuse.
Sun Wukong, having been instructed by his internet friend 9527 with experience in criminal investigation, would never let this old thief have his way. He immediately shouted "Hold on," flashed his figure, and appeared above the Lunar Palace, while suspending the Creation Cauldron above his head.
"How dare you!" Southern Extremity Longevity Star’s countenance darkened as he scolded, "Sun Wukong, as the Northern Celestial Venerable, you must act according to the celestial laws, maintaining the order of the Heavenly Court’s north. Yet now, you let this desecration of the Heavenly Holy Realm happen.
Today, I will teach you how to properly hold your role as the Northern Celestial Venerable."
An intense pressure engulfed the Monkey King from all directions, as if a hundred thousand mountains were pressing down on him, rendering him immovable.
"Heh heh!" Sun Wukong’s eyes shone with a fierce gleam, his defiance clear, showing no sign of retreat, yet he thought to himself: If no one comes soon, Old Sun might just have to drop this burden!
This old thief was a high disciple of the Chan Teaching Saints and was also a rare expert among the Quasi-Saints, not someone he could currently contend with.
"Not stepping back?" Southern Extremity Longevity Star was not known for his mercy. Aware that the cauldron was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, he lifted his Dragon Head Walking Stick and struck at Sun Wukong.
