The Monkey King

Chapter 423: The Jade Emperor’s Dilemma

"It's Sun Wukong——! He's here!" A ghost general roared at the top of his lungs, and the army suddenly became commotion.

The monkey jumped down from the top of the Palace of Life and Death and landed firmly on the ground.

The Tenth Hall Yama's eyes widened and he retreated in panic. The ghost soldiers behind him swarmed up and covered them in the rear.

"Set up the formation——! He's only one person, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

The ghost army, as dense as ants, quickly built a shield array under the command of the ghost generals. Countless spears protruded from the openings in the shield. Looking from a distance, they all had ferocious faces. The forged shield was like a piece of nail board, slowly pressing towards him.

I saw the monkey moving his muscles a little, holding the golden hoop in one hand, and with a sweep, the golden hoop instantly became more than ten feet long. The ghost soldiers in the first row were instantly swept up together with the terrifying shield. It reached the sky and fell into the distance, causing a piercing scream.

Amidst the screams, the ghost soldiers in the second row retreated in panic.

"Hold still——! Don't engage in close combat with him!" Those ghosts shouted at the top of their lungs.

The monkey tilted his head and looked at them quietly.

The ghost soldiers in the front row quickly made way for an aisle, and a large number of ghost soldiers holding hooked chains rushed forward, shouting and throwing them at the monkeys.

The monkey clenched his fist slightly, and a hurricane quietly formed around him, and all the flying iron hooks were bounced away before they even touched his body.

The demon generals seemed to be taken aback.

"He is a living person. We must use the same method to deal with living people! Use ghost flames!"

A group of ghost soldiers holding blue torches quickly ran out of the army. They used the flames to light the arrows, and then shot them at the monkeys.

The rain of arrows all over the sky illuminated the sky blue.

Standing in front of the gate of the Palace of Life and Death, the monkey slowly raised his head and glanced at the rain of arrows. The next moment. He held the golden cudgel and rushed out. Amidst the screams, countless ghost soldiers were thrown into the sky like millet.

The ghost army instantly collapsed.

The army of the underworld can be used to deal with ghosts more effectively than the army of heaven, and it can barely deal with a smaller number of monsters, but it can be used to deal with monkeys, who are extremely advanced practitioners and demon cultivators...

The battle had just begun and they were already in disarray.

In a completely one-sided situation, even the ghost generals who were the backbone joined the ranks of the escape.

In the panic of the flight, the flag was discarded. The brazier was knocked over. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the fire lit the sky red.

In the flying sparks, the monkey turned into countless clones and shuttled back and forth, roaring, and various spells emerged one after another, driving a total of 500,000 ghost soldiers into despair.

The Tenth Hall Yama and his bodyguards covered their heads and ran away, but no matter what. None of them could escape the confines of the Palace of Life and Death.

The clone of the monkey surrounded the entire area everywhere like flies in a mass grave. Even if they knew it was a clone, as long as they dared to rush forward, the real body would soon appear within a short distance. Whatever the golden cudgel points to, whether you are a ghost soldier or a ghost general, it will be the result of your soul being scattered.

The "breakout" that was finally organized was beaten back abruptly.

At this moment, the originally built defense line and moat seemed to have turned into a huge cage, trapping the entire underworld's elite like lambs to be slaughtered.

The terrifying laughter could be heard in every corner, accompanied by continuous screams. One after another, souls returned to nothingness.

In the midst of the chaos, Yama from the Tenth Hall hurriedly hid in the Hall of Life and Death with his guards and locked the door tightly.

"What's going on? What does he want to do? Does he want to kill us all?"

"What good will it do him to kill us all?"

"This monkey is crazy, really crazy. I just said don't provoke him. I shouldn't have done it in the first place..."

Before he finished speaking, Yama who was speaking was suddenly startled.

He trembled slightly. Slowly turning around, he saw a book of life and death lying flat on the wooden table beside him, slowly turning the pages.

In unison, they stretched out their hands that looked like dry tree bark and waved them in the air.

"Why is there wind in the Palace of Life and Death?"

Turning their faces sideways, they saw airflow pouring in through the cracks in the windows and doors, as if they were attracted by something.

"No, not good. He is in the Palace of Life and Death..." a Yama stammered.

Those Yamas all had their eyes widened, and the guards clenched their weapons and looked around.

Terrifying laughter sounded from all directions, and the entire hall was shaking slightly.

"Actually, killing you won't do me much good. Killing the ghost soldiers won't dispel much of the hostility. On the contrary, coming to the underworld will only aggravate the hostility... But I just don't like you."

Looking up, they saw the monkey sitting on the high bookshelf and watching them quietly.

His widened eyes were bloodshot, his face was calm, but he twitched from time to time. The fur on his body stood up slightly, the raging spiritual power was constantly leaking out, and the muscles all over his body were stretched to the extreme.

It looks like a golden ball of light from a distance in the darkness.

Killing the Golden Crow, killing two heavenly soldiers in Tiangang, and killing tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in the underworld reduced the hostility in the monkey's body a lot. But the effect of the medicine is still continuing, and the growth of cultivation seems to be far from end, and he is on the verge of becoming the great immortal of Daluo Hunyuan.

At this moment, sanity is still being lost bit by bit. If he hadn't gone through the hardships of those initial cultivation breakthroughs and developed a strong will, I'm afraid he would have collapsed by now.

All the Yamas in front of them fell to their knees.

"Great Sage! Great Sage! I have never offended you!"

"Really?" The monkey chuckled and said slowly: "Why does Heaven know which page of the book of life and death I am looking for?"

For a moment, all the Yamas in the Ten Palaces were stunned, and they all looked at King Qin Guang in horror.

"That's...that's His Majesty's order, we dare not disobey it!"

"To put it bluntly, it's you who are helping him harm me, right?"

"No, no, no... Great Sage. I promise, from now on the underworld will be under the control of Huaguo Mountain! Great Sage, please forgive me!"

The Yamas of the Tenth Hall cried out one by one and kowtowed violently until their foreheads bled.

Monkey stood up slowly on the bookshelf with his knees on his knees, and said with a slightly twitching face: "Time is running out. That will happen in the future. Let's settle the old accounts now."

Under the horrified eyes of Yama of the Tenth Palace, he swung his golden cudgel and dragged a long trajectory towards them.

Above the sky, another member of the Qing family hurried into the Lingxiao Palace and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Yama of the Tenth Palace is calling for help urgently. If it's too late, it will be too late!"

The immortals in the hall all lowered their heads.

There was no trace of blood on the Jade Emperor's face, and his eyes slowly fell on Li Jing: "You mean not to send troops?"

Li Jing frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, just as I said just now. This is simply a calculation between powerful people. Moreover, it's not that we don't send troops, but it's useless if we send troops. That monkey can travel thousands of miles in an instant. Even if the army can fight, it can't catch up. Now that his cultivation has reached the peak of Daluo Jinxian, even if all the heavenly generals join forces, they can't stop it at all. The mortal world is vast and boundless, what can we do if we send out troops? Besides, outside the Nantianmen There are also all the monsters in Huaguo Mountain who are eyeing us. If we send out troops, we will definitely die. For the current plan, we must defend Nantian Gate, Your Majesty."

The hand that repeatedly rubbed the seal made a crackling sound.

After a long time, the Jade Emperor smiled faintly and said: "So the entire mortal world and the underworld were given to him? I just sit back and ignore the chaos in the Three Realms. Am I still the ruler of the Three Realms?"

"Your Majesty, you should think twice before you act."

"Think twice? How can you think twice? Once the demon monkeys take control of the underworld, God knows what will happen? The three realms and the six paths of reincarnation will be in chaos... Hehehehe... What do you mean, you are not willing to lead the army to conquer the demon monkeys and rescue the underworld?"

Li Jing hesitated and bowed: "I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Yes, if the great powers of the three realms have abandoned heaven, then it will be the same wherever you hide. As long as the great powers of the three realms have not abandoned heaven, then everything will return to normal one day. But once heaven ignores this matter and the underworld falls, you Do you know what the consequences will be? I will have to be called a shameless person. Once this happens, the human heart will be irreparable for thousands of years, and the underworld will no longer only follow Lingxiao Palace."

Li Jing lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

At that time, in order to restore credibility, will someone else have to be the Jade Emperor?

Yes, the great powers only need Heaven to rule the three realms. Who becomes the Jade Emperor? What difference does it make?

Thinking about it, the Jade Emperor chuckled.

"Even if you go and lose, it's better than ignoring it. Do you understand?"

Li Jing still lowered his head and remained silent.

"Break the silence."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"There is nothing to hide, so what if there is a mole?"

Li Jing nodded silently.

The ban on sound has been broken.

The Jade Emperor slowly leaned back on the dragon chair, looked at the Qing family in the palace with an expressionless face and said, "I want to appoint someone to lead the troops to rescue the underworld."

The immortals present immediately buried themselves lower.

He raised his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "For more than a hundred days in heaven, and more than a hundred years in the mortal world, in just over a hundred years, a demon monkey has defeated the heaven countless times. Now that the underworld has been attacked, it is even more difficult. There is no one to rescue me. I vaguely remember that not long ago, you were still here arguing with me about the intentions of the Tianhe Navy Army in conquering Huaguo Mountain... Hehehe, think about it, it’s really sad.”

Taibai Jinxing took a step back slightly.

Pursing his dry lips, the Jade Emperor said slowly: "The underworld is in trouble, and we must help. But this trip will lead to a narrow escape from death. Is there any dear friend who is willing to lead the troops there?"

All the immortals remained silent.

"Li Jing, are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, I report that I am incompetent, please forgive me." Li Jing said loudly.

Looking at Li Jing, the Jade Emperor said slowly: "In that case, I am removing you from the post of generalissimo. Do you have any objection?"

Li Jing was suddenly shocked, and all the immortals around him looked at each other in confusion.

"Do you have any objections?" the Jade Emperor repeated expressionlessly.

Li Jing raised his cloak, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, I dare not have any objection."

Slowly scanning the immortals in front of him, the Jade Emperor shouted at the top of his lungs: "I want to re-appoint the general Tianpeng as the generalissimo and lead the troops to the underworld to capture the monster monkey. Do you have any objections?"

Those pairs of eyes were quietly tilted towards Taibai Jinxing. At this moment, he was also frowning and lowering his head along with the other immortals.

"Do you have any objections——?" the Jade Emperor shouted standing on the steps.

After a long time, all the immortals raised their hands one by one and said in unison: "I have no objection at all." (To be continued ~^~)
