Chapter 88

~7 min read 1,298 words

The red-clothed immortal maiden dared not neglect and told the guest list she knew one by one.

"Returning to the Great Saint, this Pantao Assembly has invited a great number of guests. The Western Heaven invited the Buddha Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and a group of Bodhisattvas and Arhats; the upper heaven invited the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, and other Heavenly Sovereigns; the lower heaven invited the Netherworld Master and the Ten Kings of Hell; there are also the Five Sacred Mountains, the Four Rivers, the Four Sea Dragon Kings, and any loose immortals with some reputation in the Three Realms are also on the invitation list..."

The red-clothed immortal maiden said a long string of names in one breath, each of whom was a big figure in the Three Realms.

Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly, and his waist straightened even more.

Being able to participate in a banquet with so many big figures, his identity as Saint Qitian was indeed extraordinary!

The red-clothed immortal maiden finished saying the list she knew and stopped, looking at Sun Wukong with a smile.

But Sun Wukong waited for a long time and found that she had no intention of continuing.

The smile on his face slowly solidified.

That's not right.

She said so many words, why didn't she mention the four words "Saint Qitian" from beginning to end?

Did she forget him?

Sun Wukong's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose.

The expression on his face became somewhat ugly, and he tentatively asked: "Did you miss anyone?"

The red-clothed immortal maiden was stunned: "Miss anyone? No, this little immortal told you everything she knew, Great Saint."

"Impossible!" Sun Wukong's voice raised a few decibels unconsciously, "Your Wang Mu holds a banquet and invited so many people; how could she not invite me?"

He pointed to himself and emphasized: "I am the Saint Qitian conferred by the Jade Emperor! Such an important guest, how could your Wang Mu forget?"

The immortal maidens were frightened again by his suddenly excited appearance.

They looked at each other, seeing a trace of difficulty and incomprehension in each other's eyes.

Yes, this Saint Qitian, the title is so loud, why is he really not on Wang Mu's guest list?

Did Wang Mu forget him?

Or is it...

A green-clothed immortal maiden who was a bit timid looked at Sun Wukong's gradually darkening monkey face and whispered to her sister beside her: "Sister, what should we do? There is really no Great Saint's name on the list..."

Although the green-clothed immortal maiden's voice was small, which of the gods present was not sharp-eared and quick-eyed?

Sun Wukong heard it clearly.

"There is no me on the list?"

His heart sank suddenly, and a nameless fire rushed straight to his crown.

The immortal maidens looked at Sun Wukong's face that had turned black instantly, and none of them dared to make a sound, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

The red-clothed immortal maiden at the head saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly bit the bullet and stepped forward, wanting to smooth things over.

"Great Saint, don't be angry. Perhaps... perhaps Wang Mu is busy with official business and was negligent for a moment, forgetting to include your name on the list. Or perhaps, a special surprise has been prepared for you, Great Saint, so you were not on the ordinary list..."

She didn't even believe what she was saying.

The Heavenly Court's banquet was so solemn, and the guest list was checked repeatedly; how could there be an omission?

Sun Wukong was not a fool; how could he not hear that this was just a perfunctory excuse.

"Negligence? Surprise?" Sun Wukong sneered, "I think this Wang Mu didn't put me in her eyes."

Just at this moment, a voice came from among the immortal maidens.

Only a pink-clothed immortal maiden seemed to be stirred up with some dissatisfaction by Sun Wukong's words; she curled her lips and whispered:

"What's so strange, she didn't invite you in the first place..."

This whisper pierced fiercely into Sun Wukong's heart.

"What did you say?"

Sun Wukong turned his head abruptly, his eyes staring fixedly at the pink-clothed immortal maiden, shooting out terrifying fierce light.

The pink-clothed immortal maiden shivered all over when she was looked at like this, but since the words were already out, she simply gave up and relied on being by Wang Mu's side, stiffened her neck and said:

"I said, the Pantao Assembly didn't invite you in the first place! What are you shouting about?"

"You!" Sun Wukong pointed at the pink-clothed immortal maiden angrily.

"What about me?"

That pink-clothed immortal maiden seemed to feel that because Sun Wukong didn't dare to do anything to her, her courage grew, and she looked Sun Wukong up and down, her eyes full of undisguised contempt.

"Do you really think of yourself as some big figure? Saint Qitian? Humph, I heard from the immortal officials in the palace long ago that it was just a false name the Jade Emperor gave you to appease you. It has a name but no reality, it just sounds good!"

"You wild monkey from the lower realm, do you really think you can sit on equal footing with the Three Pure Ones, Four Emperors, and Western Heaven Buddha?"

"This Pantao Assembly is what kind of noble occasion? Those who attend are true upper immortals and heavenly sovereigns of the Three Realms, true immortal nobles. You, a demon immortal who just came from the lower realm, what qualifications do you have to participate?"

These words were like heavy hammers, smashing fiercely into Sun Wukong's chest.

Every word was heart-piercing!

"Wild monkey! Lower realm demon immortal! No qualifications!"

These words, each one was like a knife, cutting his self-esteem until it was bloody.

The title of "Saint Qitian" he had always been proud of was actually just a joke in the eyes of these Heavenly Court immortals!

Sun Wukong felt that his previous actions were like a clown jumping up and down in the Heavenly Court.

"Ah ah ah!"

Sun Wukong let out a roar that shook the sky, and a violent demon aura rose from his body, shattering all the immortal clouds in the entire Pantao Garden.

"Good! What a Heavenly Court! What a Jade Emperor!"

His eyes were red, acting like a madman, and he took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang, which grew with the wind, emitting a terrifying aura that made people's hearts palpitate.

"So, you were all playing with me!"

"Tricking me into heaven, giving me a false name, just to watch me make a fool of myself!"

Those immortal maidens had never seen such a battle, and each one was pale with fright, screaming repeatedly.

"Freeze!"

Sun Wukong shouted angrily and used the immobilization spell.

The seven immortal maidens froze in place instantly, maintaining a posture of horror, unable to move, and even their eyeballs could not turn.

"Didn't you say I have no qualifications?" Sun Wukong walked under the nine-thousand-year peach tree, pointed at the large and plump immortal peaches, and grinned grimly, "Then I will tell you today, I never needed any qualifications!"

"Didn't you want to hold a Pantao Assembly? I will make your Pantao Assembly have not a single peach today!"

He reached out and picked the largest and reddest purple-patterned Pantao, and the rich peach fragrance spread instantly.

"I want to eat all the peaches here!"

He opened his big mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and instantly ate the Pantao in his hand.

Then he raised the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand and was about to destroy this nine-thousand-year Pantao tree.

Just at this critical moment, an anxious voice came from the entrance of the Pantao Garden.

"Monkey Brother, stop!"
