Chapter 528: Guanyin is Flustered

Journey to the West World, South Sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva's dojo.

Entrance to Luojia Mountain.

Sun Wukong, Baigu Furen, Heixiong, Xiaobailong, and Shaseng descended from the sky.

"So this is Guanyin Bodhisattva's dojo?" Xiaobailong asked, his eyes burning with intense curiosity.

"Baigujing, why are you standing so far away?" Heixiong noticed that Baigu Furen's expression was unnatural.

Baigu Furen feigned calmness and replied:

"The immortal energy here is too strong; it clashes with me."

"That is only natural. You are a monster, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is a Great Ability of Buddhism. In a pure land of Buddhism, evil spirits naturally have no place to hide," Sun Wukong said.

"Heh, as if you aren't a monster yourself," Baigujing retorted.

Sun Wukong was unimpressed and continued:

"Old Sun is a stone monkey. I cultivate the orthodox techniques of Xuanmen and eat Immortal Pills and Flat Peaches; I don't have such heavy monster energy as you."

"..." Baigu Furen.

Just as they were speaking, a youth wearing armor walked toward the entrance of Luojia Mountain. This youth was quite handsome, with red lips, white teeth, and delicate features.

"Audacious monsters, how dare you trespass on the Sacred Land of Luojia Mountain! Leave at once!" the youth scolded, his gaze sharp.

"Who is he?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Don't know," Xiaobailong shook his head.

"Same here," Heixiong said.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Baigu Furen noticed everyone looking at her and said casually, her arms crossed over her chest, her expression cold and aloof.

"Are you Muzha, the attendant under Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

At this moment, Shaseng, who had been quiet, asked.

"Are you... Juanlian General?"

Muzha looked closely and was shocked to recognize Shaseng.

After all, Shaseng had been a personal guard by the Jade Emperor's side back in the day; he had seen many immortals, and quite a few people knew him.

In fact, it wasn't just Shaseng; if Bajie were here, he would have recognized him too.

"Juanlian General is a thing of the past. Now, there is only the Scripture Seeker, Shaseng," Shaseng said.

"Muzha, Old Sun was wondering who it was; so it's the son of that Pagoda-Bearer, Nezha's brother. You little brat, do you recognize Old Sun?" Sun Wukong said.

A look of doubt flashed in Muzha's eyes as he looked at the furry-faced monkey, and a spark of realization appeared.

"You are the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong," Muzha said hurriedly, his expression somewhat agitated.

"That's right, Old Sun is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Handsome Monkey King, Sun Wukong," Sun Wukong held his head high and chest out, looking very pleased with himself.

"Oh... so you're that Bi Ma Wen who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace," Muzha changed his tone, his emotions returning to calm.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong almost couldn't resist pulling out his Golden Cudgel to kill Muzha; did this brat know how to talk?

Xiaobailong and Heixiong snickered.

This could be considered Sun Wukong's dark history!

Bi Ma Wen was a sesame-sized official in the Heavenly Court, looked down upon by most immortals.

But Sun Wukong, who had just become an immortal at the time, felt that being able to manage so many heavenly horses was very prestigious and that the rank must be very high.

It was only after he was exposed that he rebelled against the Heavenly Court.

Yet, in reality, the immortal post of Bi Ma Wen was not small; to the Heavenly Court, it was a proper, established official position with an annual salary.

Just think, after so many geniuses from the lower realms ascended to the Heavenly Court, if they had no background, they were at best small soldiers, starting from the very bottom and working for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

Though Bi Ma Wen was small, it was still an official post. If it weren't for the Journey to the West Script, given Sun Wukong's abilities, he might have become the next God of War of the Three Realms in a few hundred years.

The Jade Emperor was no fool; how could he not see Sun Wukong's potential? He was a natural War Immortal. If nurtured properly, advancing to a Great Luo Golden Immortal would only be a matter of time.

"Sun Wukong, I heard you went to seek the scriptures? Why have you run here?" Muzha asked.

He hadn't recognized them at first, mainly because Sun Wukong, Baigu Furen, Heixiong, and Xiaobailong were standing together, their monster energy was too strong, and they didn't look like a proper team at all.

Besides, there were so many monkey demons and bear demons in the Three Realms; could every one of them be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

"Don't mention it. Old Sun needs to see Guanyin Bodhisattva. If I'm delayed, Muzha, you won't be able to bear the responsibility," Sun Wukong said.

"..." Muzha.

"Follow me!"

Not long after.

Muzha led the group to a serene place belonging to Guanyin Bodhisattva, located within a quiet Purple Bamboo Forest.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was sitting in a lotus pond wearing a long white dress, eyes closed; she looked so noble and transcendent, holy and unstained.

Guanyin opened her eyes. In fact, she had known the moment Sun Wukong arrived at the South Sea.

She just didn't understand why Sun Wukong had come here early; this was not the time for her to make an appearance.

Furthermore, with Xuanzang present, most crises did not require her to intervene at all.

"Wukong, why have you come here instead of seeking the scriptures?" Guanyin said.

After the battle in the North Sea, Sun Wukong had gained much more respect for Guanyin; after all, the person before him was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and only by truly fighting one does one realize how terrifying they are.

"Bodhisattva, it's a long story," Sun Wukong said, his tone carrying a hint of grievance.

"Because the Spring Festival in Renjian is approaching, Master gave us a holiday to go play wherever we wanted.

Later, we muddled our way to the North Sea of the Earth Immortal Realm, where we met Shen Gongbao..."

Sun Wukong tried to be as concise as possible, telling her everything they had encountered.

When he mentioned the Demon Emperor Eastern Emperor, Dijun, and the Demon Master Kunpeng, Guanyin's calm, ripple-less expression finally showed a stir.

Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun, those are Great Abilities from legend.

But didn't they fall during the Ancient War? Why have they suddenly appeared?

"Wukong, are you certain you saw the Demon Emperor?" Guanyin Bodhisattva confirmed once more.

"Bodhisattva, this old Sun never tells lies. Is this something one could deceive others about? Besides, Bajie is still being held captive; if anything happens to Bajie, this old Sun will feel guilty for the rest of his life," Sun Wukong said.

Guanyin's expression was solemn as she lectured:

"Everything has Karma; if it weren't for your greed for the Essence of the North Sea, how would you have caused such trouble?"

"Do you not know that Shen Gongbao is not a person of good character?"

"Wukong, this concerns the Emperor of the Demon Race; even I have no way to deal with it," Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

Although she is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, she counts for nothing before Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun.

One must know that at their peak, the two Demon Emperors were known as invincible beneath the Saints; one of them could easily defeat ten Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Even if Rulai went, he would just get slapped in the face a few times.

Moreover, there are no longer any Saints in the Three Realms; once the Demon Emperors appear in the world, I fear it will be another bloody storm.

"Bodhisattva, even you have no way?" Sun Wukong said in disbelief.

"It is not that I have no way, it is that the entire Buddhism has no way," Guanyin Bodhisattva said.

"Then Bodhisattva, tell me where Master is; Master certainly wouldn't watch Bajie get eaten," Sun Wukong said.

"Although Xuanzang is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he cannot deal with two Demon Emperors, let alone Kunpeng, who has lived from the primordial era until now," Guanyin said.
