Chapter 1425: Six Ears: Just Kidding, I'm Holding Sun Wukong's Script Now

"Kill!"

On the side of Flower-Fruit Mountain, the battle cries shook the heavens.

What had once been a land of brocade and good fortune was now a scene of flesh and blood flying in all directions, transformed into a meat grinder, a boundless Asura hell.

One could only see the demon horde shrieking and the Heavenly Soldiers wailing.

In a flash, another group was swept down by a great iron staff and reduced to dust.

Six-Ears gripped the Golden-Banded Staff, feeling an exhilaration so intense he could not help but let out a great howl.

"Thrilling, thrilling!"

Li Jing stood atop the clouds, his expression icy: "What a fine wild monkey. Who can seize him for me?"

As the words fell, his gaze swept toward Nezha.

Nezha took the hint: "Your son is willing to go! ~"

Li Jing nodded: "Quickly capture the demon monkey and bring him to justice."

"Yes."

……

Aolai Nation.

The Substitute Monkey waved a hand casually, creating a grotto-heaven, and released the little monkeys.

"Great King, why do we have to leave?"

"Yeah, yeah, Flower-Fruit Mountain is so nice."

The Substitute Monkey shook his head gently, reached out and brushed across the void, and instantly a curtain of light appeared before their eyes, revealing the gruesome scene at Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The monkeys looked and screamed in terror.

The next moment, the curtain of light vanished.

Too terrifying.

That Flower-Fruit Mountain, once a place of bright mountains and clear waters, had now been reduced to scorched earth. Heavenly Soldiers and demons had fallen in countless numbers, the baleful aura filling the sky—truly horrifying.

"Great King, can we ever go back?"

"Naturally we can," the Substitute Monkey said with a smile. "In a while longer, Flower-Fruit Mountain will have quieted down. When that time comes, this Great King will display divine powers and find you a place to settle."

His gaze glanced toward the void, and he sighed inwardly: "Junior brother, Sun Wukong's script really isn't all that fun."

He knew Six-Ears' mind was now firm and would not change, so he gave up the thought of persuading him, and merely watched quietly the changes between heaven and earth.

Several months passed like this.

Li Jing led Nezha in retreat.

When they came, the Heavenly Soldiers were countless, their might awe-inspiring; when they left, they had thrown off armor and abandoned helmets—what a sorry sight.

It could be said that the Heavenly Court's face had been utterly lost by Li Jing's side.

Although the Heavenly Soldiers could be reborn through incense offerings.

The fortune that had been lost, however, would not return.

"Li Jing!" The Jade Emperor's gaze was like blade and sword as he stared at Li Jing. "Do you know your crime?"

Li Jing: "Your subject has failed in his duty; I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Now is not the time for punishment. That demon monkey is rampant and currently wreaking havoc in the lower realm; it would be better to first devise a plan to subdue the demon. As for Li Tianwang, why not let him atone for his crimes by performing merits in the future?"

"What brilliant plan do you have?" The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, his gaze faintly intent.

Taibai Jinxing smiled: "From what I know, that demon monkey has a fellow disciple under the same master, whose divine powers are vast, but whose nature is lazy and idle, and who has not taken part in this matter. How about I descend to the lower realm to invite him to act? First, it would help subdue the demon monkey; second, if successful, it would count as recruiting a worthy talent for the Heavenly Court."
