The sudden appearance of Sun Wukong not only startled Ling Weiyang but also frightened Ye Zi, Ming Tiekuang, and the others who were there to protect him. They had no idea when Sun Wukong had vanished or how he suddenly appeared behind Bai Zhaoju, let alone how he so brutally ripped off one of Bai Zhaoju's arms. Now, Bai Zhaoju had already transford into his true form, and had even fused with two defensive Shadow Steles. Moreover, both of his arms had rged with the Blood Scaled Arm, infused with Barbaric Dragon Blood.
Originally, his arms had been destroyed by Sun Wukong and Zhibei. It was only due to the stimulus of the Barbaric Dragon Blood provided by Ling Weiyang that his arms regrew, also triggering the power of his bloodline, resulting in a pair of dragon arms. Upon transforming into his true form, those dragon arms had perfectly integrated with his own Heaven-Splitting Berserk Bear strength. It could be said that his arms had beco comparable to that of a Domain Instrunt. Yet Sun Wukong still managed to tear them right off at the shoulders.
Bai Zhaoju let out a terrible howl as excruciating pain surged from his shoulders, and Ling Weiyang's face grew even darker, his brow deeply furrowed. When Ling Weiyang first saw Sun Wukong, he already had plans in mind—to deliberately reveal the Formless Divine Weapon, the Purple Gold Halberd, and to release the unique aura belonging to Formless Divine Weapons, thereby sowing doubt and confusion in Sun Wukong's mind. This would surely have a significant impact on Sun Wukong, weakening his combat power and providing an opportunity to kill him.
When Sun Wukong sensed the unique aura of the Purple Gold Halberd, he nearly collapsed, as Ling Weiyang had anticipated. He lost all will to fight, overco by sorrow and despair. This effect was precisely what Ling Weiyang hoped to see. The trial of the Patrolling Celestial World had reached a point where Myriad Demons Country no longer needed to hide, and it was ti for the infiltrator's identity to be revealed.
Yet Ling Weiyang had underestimated the individuals who had co with Sun Wukong. Despite wielding the Formless Divine Weapon Purple Gold Halberd, the middle-aged man holding a golden spear was still able to fight him to a standstill. As Ling Weiyang slowly increased his strength, so did the man, so even when Qian Yuye arrived, Ling Weiyang had not been able to defeat the Dragon Emperor. Although he had the upper hand, defeating the man without transforming into his true form would likely take at least a day and a night of fighting.
However, the arrival of Qian Yuye turned the tide. Observing Qian Yuye's behavior, he seed unaware of his plan and still believed Ling Weiyang to be a steadfast ally. With Qian Yuye's assistance and Bai Zhaoju in his true form, victory in this battle was assured. Then, Ling Weiyang saw Bai Zhaoju's shoulder gushing blood, and a slender figure appeared behind him.
Sun Wukong had gotten up again?
Yes, Sun Wukong had risen from the blow he had just received. As he received confirmation from Ling Weiyang, Sun Wukong suddenly understood many things. In an instant, a sense of clarity washed over him, bringing a wave of relief, but it was swiftly followed by intense anguish, heartache, despair, and a sense of utter defeat. Almost everyone in the Netherworld World knew there was a mole, but no one had figured out who it was, as everyone seed above suspicion.
But just monts ago, upon sensing that unique aura from the weapon in Ling Weiyang's hand, Sun Wukong understood everything. The doubts and questions he harbored were answered in an instant. The weapon in Ling Weiyang's hand was the Formless Divine Weapon Purple Gold Halberd, while Xi Zhao's weapon was nad the Formless Vanishing, and the aura they emitted originated from the sa source. Combining this with many past events, Sun Wukong beca almost certain of the mole's identity in the Netherworld World—that person was Xi Zhao.
Xi Zhao, the one who had been by his side since he first entered the Netherworld World, had shared countless life-and-death monts with him, and had risked his life multiple tis to save Sun Wukong in perilous situations. mories of all their monts together churned in Sun Wukong's mind, as though he was using all his strength to deny his hypothesis. But in the end, Sun Wukong gave in because there were far too many reasons for him to believe that the mole in the Netherworld World was indeed Xi Zhao.
Of course, while in the Netherworld World, all of Xi Zhao's actions seed flawless, which made it hard for Sun Wukong to accept that Xi Zhao could be the infiltrator. However, since entering the Patrolling Celestial World, many of Xi Zhao's actions had been peculiar. According to Yue Huangquan, the Netherworld World's only concern was to not be expelled from the ranks of the Divine Nations, even if it ant being last. Yet Xi Zhao proclaid at the start of the trials that he would lead everyone to first place, to place the Netherworld World at the peak of the Divine Nations. At first, Sun Wukong thought Xi Zhao was rely trying to boost morale, but in subsequent actions, Xi Zhao proved his words were not empty. After a confrontation with the Genesis Divine Nation, Sun Wukong began to feel uneasy.
However, he did not pay it much mind since Xi Zhao's behavior, although not typical for the Netherworld World, was still in defense of its dignity, so everyone let it go. Later, during battles against the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm and the Myriad Spirits Realm, Xi Zhao perford admirably, not costing the Netherworld World a single soldier, an almost inconceivable feat. Because of this, no one in the Netherworld World could challenge Xi Zhao's leadership, not even Ming Wanjie, who held Xi Zhao in very high regard.
But now that I think about it, Xi Zhao's actions were nothing but an attempt to buy people's hearts, so that the people of the Netherworld World would obey his commands in the actions to co. When the allied forces operation was exposed and led to significant losses, and Zhibei suggested that there might be a mole within the allied forces, Wukong was the first to suspect Zhibei. It's a classic case of a thief crying "stop thief," an effective way to hide one's own identity.
However, when Wukong accidentally overheard the Fla God complaining about his own uselessness, that he couldn't even rge with the World Suppressing Stele prepared for him by Xi Zhao, and had even lost it, Wukong suddenly rembered a night when Xi Zhao and the Evil Monarch, one of the Five Battle Generals, were drinking together. They both ntioned their strong understanding of space, undoubtedly powerful, although not on par with the people from the Fangcun Spirit Realm, but still considered top-notch in the Netherworld World. At that mont, Wukong began to suspect Xi Zhao.
Because if it was Xi Zhao who intentionally called the Fla God to attempt to master the Heavenly Stele, all to create the illusion that the stele had disappeared so that he himself could obtain the Burning Fire Stele, then everything fell into place. Additionally, in order to smuggle out news and the map of the Netherworld World right under everyone's noses, one had to be proficient in Spatial Divine Skills and also have a certain connection with soone on the other side. Wukong realized this while comprehending his ti-resetting Divine Skills in Dao Zhun's Mystic Space. Given this, with Xi Zhao possessing a weapon originating from the sa source as Ling Weiyang, no one could be a more suitable candidate than Xi Zhao himself.
Besides this, many other details made it impossible for Wukong to deny the truth of his suspicions. So in that mont, Wukong nearly collapsed. He truly couldn't accept the fact that the person he treated like a brother had betrayed them. Xi Zhao, Xi Zhao, Xi Zhao!
And as Wukong recalled previous events, he painfully realized that Xi Zhao had already made a move against him during their ti in the Netherworld World; he had just been too naive to notice it. The most obvious sign was when they were being hunted by Yao Wung and the doppelgangers of the Five Demon Gods. During that critical life-and-death situation, Xi Zhao had made a very amateurish mistake: he had gotten the stench of the mushroom on himself.
It was truly a low-level error, one that should never have occurred. Looking back, it clearly seed intentional by Xi Zhao, specifically leaving a clue for the Five Demon Gods. Only later, when Xi Zhao uncovered sothing else and with the arrival of the Five Battle Generals for reinforcents, did he change plans and use Bone Penetrating Incense on Spirit Flower Peak to remove the mushroom scent.
The more he thought about it, the more pain Wukong felt in his heart. The feeling of being betrayed by the most trusted person made Wukong feel life was unbearable. But just then, the Five-Colored Divine Stone inside Wukong quietly emitted the Five-Colored Divine Light, shining brightly in his dantian, illuminating Wukong's insides with dazzling light. Yet from the outside, there was no discernible difference. It was this colorless light shining on him that finally cleared up Wukong's extrely chaotic mind.
And eventually, all negative emotions were quelled. Wukong could achieve this because all of the trials he had endured from birth had toughened him up beyond his own imaginations. Plus, he still rembered the words his master Sanzang had once said to him, "When you find that the faith which once transcended life is nothing but falsehood, what you need to do is not to sink into it but to make that faith your own and then set out on another path."
Sanzang had said these words because Wukong had once asked him, "Master, why do you journey to the west?
Now, Wukong finally understood those words, and so he rose up again. He had made a decision. Xi Zhao was his brother, so naturally, he must protect his brother. Therefore, if he killed everyone in the Myriad Demons Country, whether Xi Zhao was a mole or not would no longer matter. That way, they would still be the closest of brothers.
So now, Wukong was filled with a determined intent to kill, and then another hidden power inside him was stirred!
