474: Chapter 222 The Dragon Palace is Haunted_5 474: Chapter 222 The Dragon Palace is Haunted_5 The Bodhisattva Guanyin grimaced wryly.

The Ox Demon King had indeed defied heaven.

But, compared with Yang Jian, there was a not small gap.

His strength, as of now, was comparable to Nezha, not much less.

After stepping into the Heavenly Venerate realm, these top war gods of the Three Realms finally showed disparity in strength.

For ones like Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, it truly was a case of the strong getting stronger.

Once they entered the Heavenly Venerate realm, their power soared rapidly and beca even more formidable.

While the Ox Demon King was still a force to be reckoned with, he now had few competitors within the Heavenly Venerates.

But compared with Sun Wukong and the others, he was clearly inferior.

It was not that the Ox Demon King wasn’t defying heaven.

The realm of Heavenly Venerate was a transformation.

From among the Celestial Immortals, they leaped up and beca Heavenly Venerates.

So soared through the Nine Heavens upon leaping, becoming even stronger.

Others, forr Demon Fiends, while they made the leap and transford, they blended in with the crowd, no different than an ordinary Heavenly Venerate, unable to surpass their peers.

After all, none who could beco a Heavenly Venerate were diocre.

The gap between geniuses was inherently small.

Only those with extrely terrifying accumulation and talent, those already strong enough to shake the world, could widen the gap.

Ordinary people simply couldn’t achieve this.

That the Ox Demon King could perform so admirably was already a marvel.

His entry into the Great Heavenly Venerate realm was just a matter of ti.

After all, the title of the first great saint of the Demon Clan wasn’t for nothing.

“Don’t worry, I am not a conservative person.

If there is danger, I will contact you imdiately,” said the Bodhisattva Guanyin with a smile.

Ox Demon King, sensing the arrival of Sun Wukong and the others, hastened from the Purple Bamboo Forest, and said with dissatisfaction, “You monkey, always speaking ill of .

With here, who could harm the Bodhisattva Guanyin?

They would have to get past my Mixed Iron Rod first.”

Sun Wukong glanced at the Ox Demon King and couldn’t help but roll his eyes, sneering, “You an you’re even more formidable than the Jade Emperor?

It’s not soone else trying to harm the Bodhisattva Guanyin, but the Jade Emperor himself.

Can you defeat the Jade Emperor?”

The Ox Demon King shrank his neck, speaking indifferently, “Bodhisattva, maybe we should also move to Huaguo Mountain.

I think it’s safer there.”

Seeing his cowering appearance, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Even the Bodhisattva Guanyin said, “Don’t worry, the Jade Emperor is not that fearso.

Besides, if he acts against us, he won’t do so personally, just like you wouldn’t personally strike down a Celestial Immortal.”

“We have such a big gap with the Jade Emperor?”

The Ox Demon King spoke in astonishnt.

According to the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the gap between them and the Jade Emperor was no small thing.

They were even being compared to a Celestial Immortal.

Was the Jade Emperor that powerful?

“The Jade Emperor is the strongest being among the newer generations, and even from ancient tis till now, he is probably within the top ten of all living beings.

Of course, he’s fearso.”

A strong being among the top ten throughout the ages.

The Jade Emperor, indeed fearso.

The Ox Demon King looked at Sun Wukong and couldn’t help but advise, “Nihou, perhaps you should let go of your grudge with the Jade Emperor.

Judging by his strength, I think the likelihood of your revenge is just too slim.

After all, he hasn’t done much to you.

Let’s just leave it be.”

A faint smile twitched at the corner of Sun Wukong’s mouth as he said lightly, “You needn’t concern yourself with matters between the Jade Emperor and .

He indeed hasn’t done much to , even endowed with skills.

If not for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The Ox Demon King nodded.

“But, you don’t understand the feeling of being sched against by those closest to you.

Old Sun cannot endure it; I refuse to accept it in my heart.

So, Old Sun will oppose him, make him regret.”

Though Sun Wukong’s tone was calm, everyone could feel the turmoil in his emotions.

At this point, Sun Wukong paused, revealing a slight smile as he spoke, “Moreover, my opposition to the Jade Emperor now isn’t just for myself.

I have beco close friends with Ziwei, and having pushed him to the position of Great Heavenly Venerate, I naturally can’t ignore what happens to him.

Besides, many of the common people in the Three Realms revere , and I cannot overlook them and allow them to be hard by the Ancient Gods.”

Sun Wukong’s expression was sowhat solemn, and his eyes were flashing with a cold light.

“With the return of the Ancient Gods, at least ninety percent of Living Beings would die, or even all the Living Beings in the world would beco slaves to the Ancient Gods.

I have no confidence that I can protect those close to in such an environnt, so I can only do my utmost to prevent the Jade Emperor.

If it were just for my own selfish reasons, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation with the Jade Emperor.

His goals conflict with mine, and that’s why I’ve been opposing him.”

“As long as he wants to bring back the Ancient Gods from beyond the heavens, we will remain enemies, and I will never allow such a thing to happen.”

Even The Bodhisattva Guanyin couldn’t help but be moved.

She had thought that Sun Wukong was rely at loggerheads with the Jade Emperor, but she didn’t expect that Sun Wukong was considering so far ahead.

His unending conflicts with the Jade Emperor were for the sake of all Living Beings and for the people around him.

Ksitigarbha, however, had a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He knew Sun Wukong far too well, and he was not at all surprised by his remarks.

Because Sun Wukong was just that kind of person.

He appeared unruly and indifferent to everything.

But toward the people around him, and the Living Beings of heaven and earth, he carried a sense of goodwill.

This was also the reason why Ksitigarbha had freed Sun Wukong from hell.

Having Sun Wukong in this world is not a bad thing.

Having said his piece, Sun Wukong himself laughed.

He scratched his head and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about all this nonsense, Old Sun is leaving.”

Sun Wukong was returning to Huaguo Mountain, bidding farewell to the Bodhisattva and the others.

It wasn’t until Sun Wukong had left that the Ox Demon King couldn’t help but ask a question.

“Bodhisattva, are we really not going to Huaguo Mountain?”

In his opinion, if they wanted assurance, it would be more reliable to go to Huaguo Mountain.

A gathering of Great Heavenly Venerates there was much safer than the South Sea.

“We cannot go.”

The Bodhisattva Guanyin smiled faintly.

The Ox Demon King was sowhat perplexed.

Why could they not go?

But seeing the Bodhisattva’s unfathomable appearance, the Ox Demon King didn’t dare to ask more.

After all, there had to be reason behind what the Bodhisattva said.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin gazed down at the South Sea, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, seemingly lost in thought.

They returned to the Purple Bamboo Forest, and the South Sea cald down.

Only beneath the South Sea, occasionally large bubbles surged up, giving off an eerie feel.

Sun Wukong didn’t make it back to Huaguo Mountain before he was stopped.

Ao Guang’s expression was serious as he directly pulled Sun Wukong toward the depths of the East Sea.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hesitated for a mont then followed them.

Seeing Ao Guang’s expression, it was clear sothing significant had happened.

Seeing that Ksitigarbha was also coming along, Ao Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, “With Ksitigarbha joining us, I feel even more reassured.”

“What exactly has happened?”

Sun Wukong asked, perplexed.

Ao Guang glanced at the two, and with a wry smile said, “The Dragon Palace is haunted.”

“What?”

“What do you an?”

Sun Wukong and Ksitigarbha were both baffled.
