Chapter 1980: When it comes to right and wrong, which outweighs the other?

"If the Chechi Kingdom hadn't had the three National Masters all these years, who knows how many disasters there would have been? Compared to the one incident of harming monks, which outweighs the other?"

"Although the Great National Master looks stern and full of dignity, he has never refused to help with the people's affairs."

Hearing these words from the common people, Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment. He had always believed that all demons were bad.

But he had never seen a demon wear a Daoist robe and be so devout to the Daoist arts of the Three Pure Ones, let alone maintain the favorable weather of a country.

When Sun Wukong flew back into the palace, Fahai had already brought Great Immortal Huli before the King of Chechi.

Before Sun Wukong could ask, the King of Chechi spoke, "Indeed, the Great National Master has never done a single bad thing all these years, and the number of things he has done to benefit the people is countless."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"If I really have to say it, I think the Second National Master had a crooked heart, and the Third National Master listened entirely to the Second."

Sun Wukong curled his lips, clearly surprised. He looked back at Tang Seng and the others and said, "So, Your Majesty, you want to plead for this demon?"

The King of Chechi's expression changed slightly as he said, "What I care about is always the life and death of the people. As for the actions against the monks, I also feel very ashamed today. If Great Sage Sun really wants to kill the Great National Master today, I have no right to stop you, as you belong to the Buddhist school."

"But I still hope you can think about the people of the Chechi Kingdom."

Sun Wukong was also stunned for a moment. He looked back at the Chechi Kingdom palace, which was filled with common people.

Fahai remained calm and said nothing, while the Great National Master knelt at his feet.

Night was about to fall, and a full moon rose in the sky, looking as bright and pure as the devout faith of those in Buddhism, Daoism, or other religions.

Just at this moment, all the palace maids and guards in the palace courtyard knelt down together to plead for the Great National Master.

"Great Sage Sun, the Great National Master is truly a good person."

"We know he was harsh to the monks, but the actions of killing and persecuting the monks were all done by the Second and Third National Masters."

"Even if the Great National Master knew and didn't stop it, he is guilty, but all these years, since they came to the Chechi Kingdom, how much have they done for the people?"

"We beg Great Sage Sun to spare the Great National Master's life."

Sun Wukong was stunned. He hadn't expected so many mortals to plead for a demon.

And he heard a girl whispering, "The Great National Master just looks fierce, but his heart is warmer than anyone's. He once used Daoist magic to save a seven-year-old boy."

"Wuwuwu." At this moment, the Great National Master began to sob, covering his face. He wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeves and said, as if to himself, "I cared about brotherhood and let my second and third brothers commit a grave mistake. I didn't expect that we would cause so many monks to lose their lives, yet you are still willing to plead for me. I have only wanted to study Daoist arts all my life; I truly have no other desires." ===== CHAPTER 1982 =====
