159: Chapter 155 Lord Doumu 8 Updates 159: Chapter 155 Lord Doumu 8 Updates The Roc Demon King, who had already fled far away, was unaware that he was being scorned.

Eight Demon Kings, with Sun Wukong striking eight times, were all thoroughly eliminated.

After that, he charged into the midst of the demons battling the disciples of Mount Shu, and with a single swing of his staff, a large swath of demons were slain, and in an instant, all the demons were wiped out completely clean.

The disciples of Mount Shu looked at each other in disbelief, gazing at the bodies of the demons below, somewhat unable to believe it.

They had lost three disciples, but compared to the several hundred demons, their losses were virtually nonexistent.

This was the easiest battle they had ever fought in their lives.

Of course, more than ninety percent of the demons had died by the hand of Sun Wukong.

“Many thanks to the Great Sage Equalling Heaven for lending aid, Elder Long Eyebrow, accompanied by the disciples of Mount Shu, extends our gratitude to the Great Saint,” said Elder Long Eyebrow, his face full of excitement.

Sun Wukong gave him a glance and said indifferently, “Old Sun didn’t do it for your Mount Shu, mainly because I have a grudge against the Roc Demon King, you don’t need to thank me.”

However, Elder Long Eyebrow didn’t see it that way.

No matter what Sun Wukong’s intentions had been, the fact that he saved Mount Shu was real and had truly happened.

That act of gratitude genuinely existed.

“Alright, Old Sun needs to pursue the Roc Demon King now, there’s no need for so much idle talk.

Be cautious, lest the Roc Demon King comes back to trouble you in the future.”

After saying this, Sun Wukong sensed the direction and then left from there.

“Respectfully seeing off the Great Sage Equalling Heaven,” said Elder Long Eyebrow respectfully.

The disciples of Mount Shu also had faces full of reverence and shouted loudly, “Respectfully seeing off the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.”

Sun Wukong pursued for a distance but completely lost the trace of the Roc Demon King.

He snorted coldly, this old third was indeed cautious, not giving him a chance to catch up at all.

Sun Wukong descended, and this was a town of the Human Race.

He didn’t want to go back so soon; the two women at the Huaguo Mountain were giving him a headache with their arguing.

Actually, if it were someone else, they definitely would not have his troubles and would simply choose both women, naturally avoiding any issue.

Sun Wukong didn’t want either of them.

“Great Saint, where are you headed?”

A commanding female voice called out to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was somewhat puzzled; to be recognized in the mortal world was unexpected.

When he saw who was approaching, his expression turned to one of respect.

“Sun Wukong pays respects to Lord Doumu,” he said, greeting her, as he recognized her identity.

It was no other than Lord Doumu, the mother of the Great Emperor Ziwei, an extremely powerful goddess.

“I am honored,” Lord Doumu said with a slight smile.

Sun Wukong repeatedly insisted he dared not take any credit.

He was puzzled in his heart, what could Lord Doumu possibly want with him?

There should be no connection between him and Lord Doumu after all.

Although he had a good relationship with the Great Emperor Ziwei and was even allied with him, he had no such relationship with Lord Doumu.

Lord Doumu smiled slightly and said, “Great Saint, do not be puzzled.

I am here to ask you for help with a matter.”

Sun Wukong quickly answered, “I dare not refuse.

Whatever the elder requests, if it is within Wukong’s power, I will surely comply.”

His words were not overly promising, just a declaration that he would comply if it was within his ability.

As the name suggests, if he cannot agree to something, he will not give face either.

Lord Doumu smiled faintly and said, “I don’t wish to trouble the Great Sage.

I only ask that if you happen to have Gou Chen in your hands one day, please do not kill him.

Even if you cripple his cultivation, spare his life and hand him over to me.

I will surely discipline him strictly to ensure he no longer troubles the Great Sage.”

Sun Wukong’s eyes narrowed as he gazed at Lord Doumu, trying to surmise her intentions.

The conflict between Gou Chen and Sun Wukong was actually not that intense.

They had clashed only once, and although Sun Wukong had slain the Human War God among the Five Extremes War Gods, it was not to the extent that he had to be dead set against the Great Emperor Gou Chen.

Yet, Lord Doumu came to him and said all this.

There was only one possibility, which was that the Great Emperor Gou Chen intended to deal with him, and they were fated to become enemies.

And Lord Doumu, not having much confidence in her son, came to seek him out in the hopes of saving the Great Emperor Gou Chen’s life for the future.

This was also a reminder for Sun Wukong to be wary of the Great Emperor Gou Chen, effectively doing him a favor.

Realizing this, Sun Wukong looked up and said, “Senior, rest assured.

Since you have spoken, I will try my best not to harm Gou Chen’s life.

However, if it is truly unavoidable, I ask for your forgiveness.”

At this, Sun Wukong continued, “Senior should know that I am now assisting the Great Emperor Ziwei.

If that day does come, whether to spare Gou Chen will ultimately be up to the Great Emperor Ziwei.”

Lord Doumu sighed.

No mother wished to see her children turning against each other.

“With the Great Sage’s assurance, I am at ease.

If it is Gou Chen’s fate to die, it would be his own fault, and no one else’s to blame,” she said.

After speaking, Lord Doumu dissolved into specks of starlight and vanished.

None of the people around noticed anything amiss and continued to walk about on the street.

As Sun Wukong stood there in deep thought, he smiled and prepared to leave.

There was no need to think too much; he would take things as they come.

Perhaps in the end, Gou Chen might be the true victor.

After all, Gou Chen was on the side of the Jade Emperor.

No matter how you looked at it, the chances of the Great Emperor Ziwei winning against the Jade Emperor were not that great.

For now, all they could do was their best.

Due to Sun Wukong’s tumult, all the subordinates that the Roc Demon King had recruited were directly killed by him, and even the Roc Demon King himself had to flee in disgrace.

Mount Shu publicized this incident without any exaggeration.

Yet, just the plain retelling of the events stirred people’s blood with excitement.

“The Great Sage is might, truly amazing.

I’ve heard there’s a Great Sage Temple in the Eastern Continent.

Why don’t we also build a Great Sage Temple in the Southern Continent and worship daily, praying for the Great Sage’s protection?” a cultivator suggested.

“That’s a good idea.

The Great Sage is now the Demon-Subduing of the Nine Heavens Great Sage with a lofty status.

Worshiping him, surely the demon fiends won’t dare to harm us anymore,” another agreed.

“I think it’s a good idea too.”

“Excellent.”

…

Once this suggestion was put forth, almost everyone agreed.

Those with decent cultivation all knew that the Jade Emperor had fallen.

Now demons ran rampant, it was a chaotic time in the Three Realms, and even cultivators were having a hard time.

This was why the proposal to establish Great Sage Temples was immediately accepted by the cultivators.

In a short time, over a dozen Great Sage Temples rose throughout the Southern Continent.

Sun Wukong could feel the power of incense and fire flowing towards him.

He scrutinized it carefully and revealed a look of surprise.

After pondering a bit, Sun Wukong mentioned this matter to Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha’s eyes lit up, but he quickly fell silent.

Frowning, he said, “Great Sage, this is not a good thing.”

Sun Wukong looked up at him, puzzled.

What could be wrong with it?
