Chapter 65

Sun Wukong pulled Su Chen out of the Great Sage's Mansion like a bird out of a cage, wandering all over the Heavenly Court.

With the title of Great Sage Saint Qitian, no one dared to stop him.

Those patrolling Heavenly soldiers and generals all had to respectfully salute him and call him Great Sage when they saw him.

This gave Sun Wukong's vanity great satisfaction.

He held his head high and chest out, walking with a swagger, greeting this immortal official one moment and patting that warrior's shoulder the next, his naturally familiar personality fully displayed.

Su Chen followed behind him, just observing quietly.

He discovered that the attitude of the immortals of the Heavenly Court toward Sun Wukong was very subtle.

Most immortals looked at him with curiosity, as if looking at a novel toy.

But there were also a few immortals, such as some who had become immortals from the Demon Clan, who were quite friendly toward him.

"It seems this Heavenly Court is not a monolith either," Su Chen thought to himself.

As the two were wandering, suddenly, a noisy sound came from ahead.

They saw a group of Heavenly soldiers surrounding a young general holding a Fire-Tipped Spear and draped in a Heaven-Mixing Ribbon, walking toward them.

That young general had red lips and white teeth, with delicate features, but between his brows, there was an untamable arrogance.

Sun Wukong became interested as soon as he saw him.

"Ho! This little doll looks quite imposing! Whose family is he from?"

Before Su Chen could answer, the young general had already arrived close by.

The Heavenly soldiers behind him saw Sun Wukong and hurriedly saluted: "Greetings, Great Sage!"

The young general just raised his eyelids, looked Sun Wukong up and down with his black-and-white eyes, and curled his lips, seemingly somewhat disdainful.

"Are you that monkey who calls himself the Great Sage Saint Qitian?"

As soon as he spoke, his tone was very aggressive.

Sun Wukong's temper flared up instantly.

"Hey! You little doll, how are you talking! I, Old Sun, am the Great Sage Saint Qitian, so what?"

The young general pointed his Fire-Tipped Spear at Sun Wukong.

"Nothing, I just want to see what kind of ability a Demon Immortal who just came from the lower realm has to dare to call himself equal to Heaven."

"How dare you!" Sun Wukong was furious. "Little doll, you have such a big mouth, I, Old Sun, want to see what ability you have!"

As he spoke, he pulled out his Ruyi Jingu Bang, shook it in the wind until it became as thick as a bowl, and struck it directly at the young general's head.

"Well struck!"

The young general was also a warlike character; instead of being surprised, he was happy. He shouted loudly, raised his Fire-Tipped Spear, and met the attack.

"Clang!"

The Ruyi Jingu Bang and the Fire-Tipped Spear collided heavily, emitting a deafening sound of metal clashing.

A powerful energy centered on the two of them suddenly spread out.

The surrounding Heavenly soldiers hurriedly ran backward upon seeing this, lest they be caught in the crossfire of the great beings' battle.

Su Chen guessed the young man's identity from his attire and also retreated repeatedly, feeling horrified in his heart.

"Such powerful strength! Is this the top-level battle of the Three Realms?"

He hurriedly operated his divine abilities and retreated far enough.

In mid-air, Sun Wukong and the young general were already locked in battle.

One used a heavy iron rod, every move and style carrying the power to split mountains and crack rocks.

The other used a nimble and swift long spear, the spear striking like a dragon, the angles tricky, so fast it was dazzling.

The two fought back and forth above the clouds, from the sky to the ground, and back from the ground to the sky, fighting until the wind and clouds changed color and the immortal Qi surged.

The surrounding immortals had long been alarmed by the commotion here and had all gathered around.

"Isn't that the Great God of the Santanhai Society? Why is he fighting with the newly arrived Great Sage Saint Qitian?"

"Who knows, this monkey caused trouble as soon as he ascended to Heaven, truly restless."

"However, this monkey's ability is really not small! He can actually fight the Third Prince to a draw!"

Su Chen watched the battle between the two from the side without changing his expression.

Sun Wukong became braver as he fought; he was born a fighting machine, becoming stronger when meeting strong opponents.

And Nezha was also a great god who had grown up through the Investiture of the Gods war, with terrifyingly rich combat experience.

The two were evenly matched, and for a time, neither could do anything to the other.

"Hahaha! Satisfying!" Sun Wukong laughed loudly while fighting. "You little doll, not bad! Come again!"

Nezha hadn't fought this satisfyingly for a long time either. He snorted coldly: "You monkey, you do have some brute strength, look at my magic treasure!"

As he spoke, he fiercely cast the Universe Ring in his hand.

The Universe Ring spun in the air, turned into a golden light, and with an invincible momentum, smashed toward Sun Wukong's head.

Sun Wukong did not dodge or evade, raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang, and shouted: "Watch me, Old Sun, break your ring!"

Su Chen saw that the two had fought until they were truly angry and hurriedly shouted: "Monkey Brother, Third Prince, please stop."

His voice was full of energy, using magic power to drown out the sound of the fighting in the field.

Sun Wukong and Nezha were both stunned when they heard the voice, and Nezha recalled the Universe Ring with a move of his hand.

Su Chen took the opportunity to flash forward and block between the two.

"The two of you, let's talk things over, why resort to violence?" Su Chen cupped his hands repeatedly toward the two. "Everyone is a colleague in the Heavenly Court, we see each other every day, why damage the harmony?"

Nezha frowned, looking at this Human Immortal who had suddenly popped up.

"Who are you? Dare to meddle in this Prince's business?"

Sun Wukong was also a bit puzzled: "Little brother, why did you come out? I, Old Sun, was fighting happily!"

Su Chen smiled bitterly and sent a message to Sun Wukong: "Monkey Brother, this is Third Prince Nezha, not a little doll, but the Great God of the Santanhai Society, and also a very straightforward person. I see that you are both very powerful, but fighting in the Heavenly Court is indeed not very appropriate, and it won't be good if the Jade Emperor blames you later."

Sun Wukong scratched his head upon hearing this, feeling that what Su Chen said made sense.

On Nezha's side, hearing Su Chen reveal his identity and seeing that Su Chen spoke reasonably, the murderous aura between his brows dissipated quite a bit.

He didn't really want to fight Sun Wukong to the death anyway, just saw him being arrogant and wanted to dampen his spirit.

Now that they had fought for a long time without a winner, there was no point in continuing.

He retracted the Universe Ring and Fire-Tipped Spear and snorted at Sun Wukong: "For the sake of your brother, I'll stop here today. You monkey, your ability is not bad, I'll remember you."

Sun Wukong laughed when he saw him retract his weapons and put away his Ruyi Jingu Bang.

"You little doll, you're quite powerful too! I, Old Sun, will remember you too!"

Not fighting, not knowing each other; Sun Wukong and Nezha, these two untamable guys, actually developed a sense of mutual appreciation because of this fight.

Nezha looked at Sun Wukong and found him more and more pleasing to the eye. Although this monkey was crazy, he was straightforward and said whatever was on his mind, much better than those immortals in the Heavenly Court who were full of schemes.

He waved his hand and said to Sun Wukong: "You monkey, I like you. Let's go, go to my place and have a few drinks."

"Good! I, Old Sun, like drinking the most!" Sun Wukong agreed instantly and then pulled Su Chen over: "Little brother, let's go together!"

Nezha glanced at Su Chen and nodded: "Your brother is a sensible person. Fine, let's go together."

Just like that, Su Chen was dragged by Sun Wukong and, in a daze, walked toward the Third Prince's mansion.
