Hearing these words, Mu Zha and the others furrowed their brows, thinking that once the matter was made clear, they could join forces with Sun Wukong, Zhu Ganglie, and the Little White Dragon to easily take down that bald thief.

    Never had they expected that the monkey would utter such words.

    Mu Zha angrily said, "Great Saint, don''t you forget, five hundred years ago it was the Bodhisattva who pleaded for you, and the Buddha gave you mercy to spare your life. Otherwise, today, you''d already be dead!"

    Sun Wukong spat, "Who needs their mercy to spare me? Life and death are destined, I, Old Sun, don''t care about that. But I clearly remember the suffering of being pressed under Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years, drinking molten iron daily. I, Old Sun, am not unreasonable and untrustworthy, after all, they did spare my life back then. So, if the Tang Sanzang you speak of had come first, had set me free from Five Fingers Mountain, I would certainly acknowledge him as my master and protect him on his journey to the West."

    But now, the one who has released me is this Tang Sanzang, not the Golden Cicada you speak of.

    Moreover, I have already taken him as my master, once a master always a father, even if there are thousands of mistakes, he is still I, Old Sun''s, master!

    Whatever the mistake, I, Old Sun, will bear it!"

    "Brother Monkey... this is tantamount to rebelling again!" Zhu Ganglie approached, his voice trembling as he spoke.

    Sun Wukong snorted coldly, "So what if I rebel? It''s not the first time!"

    Zhu Ganglie, with a bitter face, looked at Mu Zha, then back to Sun Wukong, hesitating and undecided, not knowing how to choose.

    Sun Wukong said, "Blockhead, this is my choice, I don''t care where you go. But if you leave, our brotherhood ends here. From this day forward, whether we are enemies or friends will depend on your choice. Little White, this applies to you too. If you want to go, then go quickly. When the fighting starts later, don''t blame your big brother for not being able to protect you!"

    Mu Zha said as well, "Marshall Tian Peng, Crown Prince, retreat quickly. Since this monkey is stubborn, we will not be courteous! The quest for the sutras to the Western Heaven is a major plan of the Three Realms, and no disorder must arise."

    The Liuding Liujia and the Guardians of the Five Directions also took out their magical treasures, preparing for battle.

    The King of the Yellow Wind wrapped his arms and said, "Mu Zha, I''m making an extra effort here."

    Mu Zha replied, "There will be rewards for you."

    The King of the Yellow Wind laughed heartily, "That''s great!"

    Suddenly, the King of the Yellow Wind, Liuding Liujia, and Mu Zha surrounded Sun Wukong.

    Ding Mao, the god, laughed, "You need not worry about that. Over there are the Four Valued Sergeants and eighteen Buddhist Jialan Protectors, so there won''t be any danger."

    Zhu Ganglie forced a smile, "You really are well-prepared, aren''t you?"

    Meanwhile, the White Dragon Horse was facing the Five Directions Moke Jieti.

    The one from the Golden Head Jieti put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, my friend, just go."

    In an instant, the White Dragon Horse felt the space around him shift and lost his sense of direction as the Earth and sky spun.

    Amidst the blurriness, the figures of the Five Directions Moke Jieti were everywhere, with the Golden Head and Silver Head Jieti chanting, "Go on, go on..."

    "Go on!"

    "Go on!"

    The White Dragon Horse, agitated by the calling, transformed into his dragon form and stirred the fog to protect himself.

    But the Five Directions Moke Jieti were surrounding him without attacking. They didn''t make a move, just endlessly chanted, "Go on, go on, go on!"

    The White Dragon Horse grew incredibly irritated, "Go, go where? Who''s going? Where to?"

    "You go, you go!"

    Through the haze, Bolo Jieti appeared and pointed at himself and also at the White Dragon Horse.

    Then, before the White Dragon Horse could ask, Bolo Jieti pointed towards the distance and said, "Go to the other shore."

    Moke Jieti stood in the distance, beckoning, "Welcome, my friend, to the other shore. The place where your heart yearns, the realm of bliss."

    The White Dragon Horse, bewildered by these words, staggered toward Moke Jieti.

    The Five Directions Moke Jieti exchanged glances, all seeing the smiles in each other''s eyes, confident of their victory.
