Chapter 182: with translation of chapter title

nan shen bu zhou。

Great Bamboo Peak。

「Ah~」

「I know the Great Sage is pressed for time! 」

「If it weren't for a huge trouble, I wouldn't dare to disturb! 」

Hearing Sun Wukong's teasing。

Jin Feng sighed, a hint of helplessness appearing on their face。

「Oh? 」

「Trouble? 」

The monkey's brow furrowed。

A flash of confusion crossed his eyes。

「Exactly! 」

「Back then we toiled desperately to protect those demons! 」

「As compensation, Northern Ju Lu Continent also fell under our control, and the spoils there include a share for the Great Sage! 」

「But those two demon sovereigns, resurrected, completely disregard the feelings of today's demons! 」

「Seizing Northern Ju Lu Continent! Plundering all resources! Such heinous acts—how can we tolerate him？！！」

Seeing Sun Wukong's reaction。

Jin Feng feigned grievance, speaking with righteous indignation。

Upon hearing that。

Sun Wukong's brow slightly furrowed。

He's been busy refining pills lately and truly had no idea about this！

「This demon sovereign doesn't know that this is my old Sun's turf？！！」

「Of course we know! 」

Jin Feng's fury shot to the heavens！

「They don't even look upon Lady Nuwa, so how could they esteem the Great Sage you! 」

「Ha! 」

A threatening growl issued from Sun Wukong's throat！

In a flash! The golden hooped rod instantly appeared in Sun Wukong's palm! 「What a demon sovereign! 」

「What a Di Jun! 」

「How dare they slight this old monkey of mine! 」

The monkey's voice carried a thousand miles, startling countless birds and beasts！

Just as Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun approached the border of Great Bamboo Peak, they exchanged glances, sensing something amiss！

「Tsk! 」

「Surely we haven't come too late, have we? 」

「Really a powder keg! 」

「Looks like someone's poured plenty of oil on it—one spark and it'll blow! 」

「. 」

Both demon sovereigns felt somewhat vexed, a bit headachy。

Given the monkey's temper, meeting him might well lead to a blow with the staff！

But the two of them are also overlords of heaven and earth！

「Are we really to endure humiliation and let that monkey vent his anger, losing face?! No way! 」

Their status absolutely forbids it！

Know this! The demon sovereign commands all demons！

And demons are all unruly sorts; to win their allegiance, there must be no flaw on them！

A demon sovereign can be cruel, can be ruthless！

But what is absolutely unacceptable is cowardice! They are not Western cowards！

Those mighty demons would never accept a coward as their king！

「Why not… not meet? 」

Donghuang Taiyi whispered, but without waiting for Di Jun's reply, he himself rejected the idea。

「We must meet! 」

「Now we can't explain it clearly; once that monkey reaches Northern Ju Luo Prefecture, it'll be too late! 」

「Why not… skip Sun Wukong, contact Ye Yang, and ask him to rein in his disciple? 」

Donghuang Taiyi gave a wry smile, feeling this idea wasn't very feasible! 「One is Hao Tian, the other is Lu Ya; would you suppress Lu Ya for Hao Tian's sake? 」

Di Jun's silence was deafening! No matter how useless his son, he is still his own flesh and blood; a little scolding is fine, but to have others suppress him is absolutely impossible！

Di Jun waved his hand, summoning a gust of demonic wind! The wind dissipated, revealing more than ten figures! These were precisely the demons Bai Ze had summoned, whom Sun Wukong had once casually rescued！

「Do you think Sun Wukong will lay a hand on you? 」

「I hereby swear an oath of the Heavenly Dao! 」

「If someone can soothe Sun Wukong's wrath, the demon court shall not fall, and you shall endure forever! 」

In the vague distance, thunder rumbled! The intangible, profound Dao resonance coalesced here, as if the Heavenly Dao were bearing witness to something! A host of great demons' eyes blazed with fervor, their bodies trembling with excitement! The demon sovereign's pledge! This might well be the first such occurrence since the creation of heaven! If they can seize the opportunity, from now on they may rise straight to the clouds, never again fearing for their lives！

「The Great Sage's mercy is also excellent for us! 」

Your Majesty, rest assured, we will kneel upon showing ourselves! Even if we sacrifice our lives, we must stop Sun Dasheng's wrath!

As if afraid that Di Jun might change his mind.

The demons present spoke solemnly.

Seeing this,

Although Di Jun had some doubts, he didn't say much more.

Hope it works! If it still doesn't…hope the backup plan will never be needed! Holding such a thought.

Di Jun glanced sideways, wanting to consult with Donghuang Taiyi.

But he was surprised to discover that the other was actually spacing out! 'Elder brother!'

'Someone is watching us!'

Feeling Di Jun's gaze.

Donghuang Taiyi came to his senses, his expression solemn as he spoke.

'Who is it!'

Di Jun's heart, which had just been let down, rose again!

Although my realm has dropped, my perception hasn't fallen much!

Someone is spying, yet I didn't notice a thing?!

'Immortal Master Ye Yang!'

'My brother and I have a slight misunderstanding with your disciple!'

'We have come bearing goodwill, hoping to resolve the conflict!'

'If we have offended or been disrespectful, please, Immortal Master, do not blame us!'

On the other side.

Donghuang Taiyi thought for a moment, then clasped his hands toward the direction of Great Bamboo Peak, showing a kind smile!

Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words.

Di Jun felt surprised in his heart.

Ye Yang, not only the strongest alchemist of the three realms, but also a genuine Hunyuan Luo Golden Immortal!

If the other party is looking at me!

Then, with his current cultivation, he would naturally not notice! Just thinking! On the surface, he shows no disrespect at all!

Along with Donghuang Taiyi, he clasped his hands and apologized to Ye Yang! Between heaven and earth, a light laugh seemed to be heard.

Donghuang Taiyi's face relaxed, and the feeling of being watched also quietly faded! Great Bamboo Peak.

'Able to bend and stretch!'

'Indeed, the former hegemon of heaven and earth would not be a foolish disciple!'

【Ye Yang】 withdrew his gaze, revealing a faint smile.

As for the purpose of their visit, his mind was very clear.

Since they came to deliver benefits, there's no need for him to intervene…

At the mountainside.

Sun Wukong leapt up from the heavens!

Step back, the more he thought, the angrier he got!

He now heads to the Northern Kuru Continent to 'seek justice'!

Just!

As soon as he rose into the air, he was instantly dazed!

'Great Sage! We've missed you dearly!'

'We've long wanted to come in person to thank the Great Sage for his kindness, but we've lacked the strength!'

'Thanks to Your Majesty hearing of it, the Great Sage's lifesaving grace to us demons, he specially assisted!'

'Your Majesty admires the Great Sage's divine might and praises his righteous spirit!'

More than ten great demons manifested their true forms, eyes brimming with tears!

They kowtowed in midair, approaching Sun Wukong and hugging his legs!

They cried out with their mouths!

They sang praises of Sun Wukong's merits!

While constantly applying eye drops, they were almost saying the demon sovereign and Sun Wukong were half-brothers! Sun Wukong is ultimately a hot-tempered little monkey—has he ever experienced such a scene? In the blink of an eye, he was being flattered into feeling elated!

His previous fury also dissipated completely without him noticing!

Jin Feng saw this scene and secretly thought, 'Not good!'

Bad!

This is a sugar-coated bomb from the Yao Court! They lifted their eyes to look at each other!

Indeed!

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were not far away! 'Great Sage!'

'Look at those two demon sovereigns!'

'They've seized territory and resources, and still come here to show off before you!'

Jin Feng decisively shifted the cannon fire, wanting to let the monkey and the demon emperor fight!

"Seizing resources?"

Di Jun strolled in midair, raising his arm! All kinds of treasures and divine medicines burst forth with brilliant divine light!

With so much medicinal potency gathering!

The rich, secluded fragrance spreads! Even a mere sniff of this immortal qi can grant a mortal a hundred extra years of life!

"Seizing?"

"Nonsense!"

I, on behalf of the demon clan's subjects, thank Sun Dasheng for his lifesaving grace!
