Chapter 228
Sun Wukong's words "leave him to me, Old Sun, to deal with" made the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace, which had just eased, tense up again.
The gazes of all the immortals and gods subconsciously turned toward the Jade Emperor on the imperial throne.
The smile on the Jade Emperor's face, which had been very friendly just a moment ago, suddenly became somewhat unnatural.
He looked at Sun Wukong, who had a hairy face and a thunder-god mouth below the hall, and deep in his eyes, a strong murderous intent flashed by.
He had only said a polite word, not expecting this monkey to take it seriously.
Leave it to Sun Wukong to deal with? What a joke!
This Liu Er Mihou knew too much; it knew how he had appeared out of thin air in the Heavenly Court, and it also knew that he had secretly contacted the Buddhist sect.
If Sun Wukong took it away, and the Liu Er Mihou accidentally revealed something it shouldn't, where would his face as the master of the Three Realms be?
Wouldn't his private deal with the Buddhist sect be completely exposed?
"Great Sage."
The Jade Emperor looked at Sun Wukong with a smiling face and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "That demon monkey impersonated a true god of the Heavenly Court, committed a monstrous crime, and disrupted the order of the Three Realms; naturally, I cannot let you take it away directly. My meaning is that the Great Sage can propose a method for how to deal with it, but the specific execution must be done by the Heavenly Court."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong curled his lips and said, "You are not straightforward at all; you were the one who asked me, Old Sun, how to deal with that fake, and now that I, Old Sun, have said it, you disagree again."
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor was somewhat embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Fortunately, at this time, his confidant, Wuqu Xingjun, took the initiative to stand out.
Wuqu Xingjun pointed at Sun Wukong and shouted: "You monkey, don't push your luck! His Majesty being able to take the initiative to ask for your opinion is already a great favor; how dare you be so rude!"
Sun Wukong couldn't stand this anger, and immediately became furious, scratching his ears and cheeks, the Ruyi Jingu Bang appearing in his hand, looking like he was about to erupt.
The immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace saw Sun Wukong's actions and secretly thought it was bad, just about to take action to stop Sun Wukong.
Fortunately, at this moment, Su Chen stepped forward and stopped Sun Wukong, who was about to take action, and he transmitted his voice to Sun Wukong again.
"Brother Monkey, let's not argue with him about a living one; the Jade Emperor has a guilty conscience and is in a hurry to kill to silence it. If you argue with him about a living Liu Er Mihou now, he will definitely not agree. Let's ask him for the corpse of the Liu Er Mihou."
Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand what Su Chen wanted a corpse for, but his long-standing trust made him suppress his impulse.
Sun Wukong's eyes turned, and he suddenly slammed the Ruyi Jingu Bang, making a loud "dong" sound, shaking the floor tiles of the entire Lingxiao Palace.
"Good! Good! Good!" Sun Wukong said three good words in a row, but there was undisguised sarcasm on his face, "Since you, old man Jade Emperor, say so, then I, Old Sun, will give you this face!"
He carried the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder and grinned, "Then leave that Liu Er Mihou to you to deal with; if you want to kill, then kill. However, after killing it, the corpse of that Liu Er Mihou must belong to me, Old Sun!"
Hearing this, the Jade Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If he wanted the corpse, that was easy to talk about.
A corpse, could it still speak?
He was settled in his heart, but on his face, he pretended to ponder, as if weighing the pros and cons.
A moment later, he waved his large sleeve, making a gesture of magnanimity.
"Granted!"
The Jade Emperor's voice returned to majesty, "Considering that the Saint Qitian has suffered a great grievance, I will bestow the corpse of this demon monkey upon you to vent the hatred in your heart!"
Having said that, his gaze turned, his voice like thunder.
"Where is Wuqu Xingjun?!"
"The subordinate is here!"
Wuqu Xingjun, who had just forcibly stepped out, walked out with big strides and knelt on one knee.
"I order you to immediately gather troops, go to Mount Wuzhi in the lower realm, and bring that Liu Er Mihou who impersonated the Great Sage back to me!" The Jade Emperor's voice was murderous at this time, "Remember, after bringing that demon monkey to the Heavenly Court, take it directly to the Execution Platform!"
"The subordinate obeys the decree!"
Wuqu Xingjun received the decree and dared not delay in the slightest; he hurriedly left the Lingxiao Palace, took his subordinate heavenly soldiers, and headed straight for outside the Nantian Gate.
Lower realm, Mount Wuzhi.
The "Innate Bagua Thunder Grand Formation" set up by the generals of the Lei Bu still shrouded the entire mountain area, thunder light flickering, and an atmosphere of killing permeated.
The heavenly soldiers and generals led by Wuqu Xingjun descended from the clouds; he held the Jade Emperor's decree and shouted loudly: "Generals of the Lei Bu, listen to the order! By the order of the Jade Emperor, I have come to interrogate the wanted criminal; withdraw the grand formation immediately!"
Inside the grand formation, the leading general of the Lei Bu glanced at the decree and then at the murderous Wuqu Xingjun, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, but he could only wave his hand to order the withdrawal of the thunder grand formation that blocked the void.
Wuqu Xingjun snorted coldly and landed directly on the main peak of Mount Wuzhi.
He looked up and saw that on the top of the mountain, a Six-Character Mantra sticker flickering with Buddha-light was emitting the great power of suppressing all things.
He dared not be negligent and carefully reached out his hand to gently peel off the sticker.
"Boom—"
The moment the sticker left the mountain, the entire Mount Wuzhi trembled violently.
Having lost the suppression of the Six-Character Mantra sticker, the Liu Er Mihou instantly moved, wanting to break free.
Seeing this, Wuqu Xingjun hurriedly took out the prepared magic treasure iron hook, locked the Liu Er Mihou's pipa bone, and suppressed its magic power.
The Liu Er Mihou's magic power was sealed by the Heavenly Court's magic treasure torture tools, and it bared its fangs and glared at Wuqu Xingjun.
Wuqu Xingjun ignored it, performed an incantation, and shouted: "Where is the Mountain God of Mount Wuzhi? Why don't you appear quickly and move this mountain!"
As soon as his voice fell, the ground squirmed, and a burly man wearing animal robes and holding a steel fork appeared; it was the Mountain God of Mount Wuzhi.
He bowed repeatedly to Wuqu Xingjun, saying yes, and then pinched the incantation to perform the mountain-moving divine power.
Accompanied by a deafening loud noise, the Mount Wuzhi that suppressed the Liu Er Mihou was actually pulled up from the ground and slowly moved to the side.
The mountain range moved away, revealing a deep pit below.
At the bottom of the pit, a monkey with dirty fur all over its body was lying there with several thick chains piercing its pipa bone.
The Liu Er Mihou slowly raised its head, looking at Wuqu Xingjun with an angry face, its eyes as if it wanted to swallow Wuqu Xingjun alive.
"Put the Nine Heavens Profound Iron Lock on it and take it back to the Heavenly Court!"
At Wuqu Xingjun's order, several heavenly soldiers immediately stepped forward and locked the Liu Er Mihou tightly with special shackles.
No interrogation, no communication.
A group of heavenly soldiers, escorting the silent Liu Er Mihou, turned into a stream of light and rushed into the nine heavens.
Heavenly Court, Execution Platform.
This place is the place of execution for the Heavenly Court to judge demons, devils, immortals, and gods; countless demons, devils, immortals, and gods who once stirred up the wind and clouds died here.
The entire platform was cast from unknown black boulders, engraved with Heavenly Dao runes, and an atmosphere of coldness and dead silence made every immortal and god who stepped here feel their Primordial Spirit chill.
Wuqu Xingjun escorted the Liu Er Mihou, passed through layers of heavenly gates, and came directly here.
"Kneel!"
A heavenly general kicked the Liu Er Mihou's leg bend, pressing it hard to kneel in the center of the Execution Platform.
The Liu Er Mihou raised its head, looked around, and saw the Jade Emperor leading everyone to watch the execution from above the clouds in the distance, as well as Sun Wukong and Su Chen, who were also watching here from the distance with the Jade Emperor.
Its lips suddenly curled, revealing a mocking smile.
Seeing this, Wuqu Xingjun felt a chill in his heart, afraid that it would say something unfavorable to the Jade Emperor.
Daring not to delay any longer, he shouted sharply to the execution heavenly general who was already prepared beside him:
"The time has come, execute!"
The execution heavenly general, who was over a zhang tall with knotted muscles, heard this, grabbed a giant execution axe flickering with thunder light beside him, and walked up step by step.
This execution was not like the last acting; this time, the Jade Emperor personally urged the Heavenly Dao laws on the Execution Platform, and on that giant axe, the killing aura of the Heavenly Dao flowed; just the sharpness it emitted was enough to make a Tai Yi Jin Xian tremble with fear.
The execution heavenly general raised the giant axe in his hand high, the blade aimed at the Liu Er Mihou's neck.
