Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 350: Chapter 350 Troops Head to Demonic Light City (Second Update)

“Liushui Family Head, what do you think? Should I let him go?”

Sun Wukong cast his gaze toward Liushui Quxiang. Given that Liushui Quyang was at odds with Liushui Quxiang, it was best to let Liushui Quxiang decide how to deal with the matter. Sun Wukong’s gesture was akin to doing Liushui Quxiang a favor, as well as to see what decision he would make—whether to win people over by sparing Liushui Quyang or to eliminate him to prevent future troubles.

“Where is the Law Enforcement Elder?”

Liushui Quxiang’s brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment’s hesitation made a decision, sweeping his gaze over the Elder Council and calling out.

“Family Head!”

Law Enforcement Elder Liushui Pojun stepped out from the ranks of the Elder Council and saluted Liushui Quxiang.

“Law Enforcement Elder, what is the punishment for disrespecting the Family Head’s orders and openly rebelling?”

“This…”

The complexion of Law Enforcement Elder Liushui Pojun shifted at Liushui Quxiang’s words. That was a severe accusation—branding Liushui Quyang with the crime of open rebellion, a sin for which death was the only redemption in the Liushui Family!

“What, does the Law Enforcement Elder not even remember the rules and edicts of our Liushui Family?”

A streak of cold light flashed in Liushui Quxiang’s eyes as he stared down at Law Enforcement Elder Liushui Pojun. A chill ran down Liushui Pojun’s spine as if he were stared at by a venomous snake. Any hesitation in his heart was immediately quelled as he spoke out clearly, “Replying to the Family Head, according to the third rule of our family edicts, the crime of clan betrayal is unforgivable and should be punished by death to set an example for others!”

“Did everyone hear that? The crime of clan betrayal is unforgivable and should be punished by death!”

Liushui Quxiang glanced over at the descendants of the Duanmu Clan and then cupped his hands toward Sun Wukong, “Great Sage, I shall trouble you with this task!”

“This Liushui Quxiang is quite ruthless in his actions!”

A glint of sharpness crossed Sun Wukong’s eyes. He thought that Liushui Quxiang would let Liushui Quyang off the hook, but unexpectedly, he chose to show no mercy! Nevertheless, it was for the better. Those too merciful are hardly fit for great responsibilities, and Liushui Quxiang turned out to be quite a character!

“Liushui Quxiang, you heaven-damned bastard, this is a personal vendetta! I, Liushui Quyang, won’t let go of you even as a ghost!”

The moment Liushui Quyang heard the dialogue between Liushui Quxiang and Law Enforcement Elder Liushui Pojun, his complexion turned. He knew Liushui Quxiang planned to take this opportunity to kill him, and he began to howl in fury.

“Too noisy on the brink of death—so clamorous! If you want to become a ghost, then I, old Sun, will have to give you that chance!”

Sun Wukong huffed impatiently, and a chaos-colored flame suddenly erupted from within his golden hand—the Chaos Fire!

Liushui Quyang was no match for the burning of the Chaos Fire. He screamed as his body quickly melted away. With a fierce squeeze from the golden hand, he was turned into nothing but dust and burned to nothingness amidst the Chaos Fire. Not even a trace of soul remained, let alone any residue!

Both body and spirit were destroyed, never to transcend again!

Sounds of sharp intakes of breath rose again, especially from those who were subordinates of Liushui Quyang, now ashen-faced. Sweat poured out like starch on their backs, soaking their entire backs. A Demon Emperor-level power, a Great Elder of the Liushui Family like Liushui Quyang, who was one of the strongest in the family, had no power to resist against Sun Wukong and was easily crushed into dust and burned into nothingness. The strength of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was even more terrifying than the rumors!

“Alright, does anyone else have objections to the decision of the Family Head now?”

Liushui Quxiang looked at the crowd and said indifferently.

“The Family Head is wise!”

“We shall faithfully obey the Family Head’s orders!”

With the tragic end of Liushui Quyang as an example, who would dare to have any complaints? One by one, they hastened to demonstrate their loyalty. Sun Wukong clapped his hands lightly, and the matter was settled!

After the spectacle in the council hall of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, the clansmen of the entire Liushui Family quickly accepted the fact that the Liushui Family had pledged allegiance to the Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan. Liushui Quxiang employed the strength of the Liushui Family to help Duanmu Bai stabilize the turbulent Duanmu Clan, suppressing the previously restless factions, and everything in the Duanmu Clan got back on track. The storm caused by the change of the Family Head and the departure of the Eldest Son Duanmu Feng, taking people and possessions with him, was left behind, returning to normal.

The ranks, previously thinned due to Duanmu Feng taking away a significant number of the Duanmu Clan’s descendants, were replenished after new recruits were brought in. In just two months, the entire Duanmu Clan had regained its vitality, and it seemed as though all aspects had returned to the state they were in before the death of the previous Family Head Duanmu Ci. The crisis had been navigated!

The crisis had ended, and things were back on track. The three-month deadline set by Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan was fast approaching!

With an order from Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, the Duanmu and Liushui Families, two major clans, simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the territory ruled by Jidu Demon Emperor. They captured several cities in a blitzkrieg fashion. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, along with Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, Bull Demon King, and Six-Eared Macaque, followed the main forces of the Duanmu and Liushui Families and arrived at the Demonic Light City, the stronghold of Jidu Demon Emperor.@@novelbin@@

“Jidu, come out and face me!”

The army, arrayed in battle formation, spread out in front of the Demonic Light City, and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan flew up on a cloud to a point slightly above the city gates and shouted into the city. His powerful voice waves, visible to the naked eye, penetrated into the city and reached the ears of Jidu Demon Emperor.

“It’s the Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor; he’s finally here!”

A sharp glint flashed in Jidu Demon Emperor’s eyes. He furrowed his brows, stood up, and, waving his hand to his subordinates, strode out of the great hall, “Come! Follow this Emperor to meet the Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor and see just how much of his old prowess remains!”

Upon reaching atop the city gates of Demonic Light City, Jidu Demon Emperor immediately spotted Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan floating in midair. His gaze swept over him meticulously, and his pupils shrank suddenly. Half-step to Demon Saint, Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan had actually reached the Half-Step Demon Saint Realm, no less than him!

Wasn’t this old guy sealed within the Stellar Spiritual Qi light sphere of the Three Realms? With his ability, it was utterly impossible to break the bonds of the Stellar Spiritual Qi light sphere. His cultivation should have grown weaker day by day while sealed away; how has he become even more powerful than before?

Jidu Demon Emperor’s heart sank. Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan must have encountered some good fortune; otherwise, it’s inconceivable for his cultivation to have increased instead of decreased. It defies all logic!

“Jidu!”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan also spotted Jidu Demon Emperor appearing atop the city wall, and his eyes immediately filled with intense hatred. They say that enemies often cross paths, and after so many years of longing for vengeance against Jidu Demon Emperor, now that he finally saw him, the resentment he had harbored for years could no longer be contained. A light flashed in his hand, and the Square Sky Halberd appeared in his palm. With a roar to the sky, he was about to charge straight towards the city gates.

“Old Mu, don’t be rash!”

With a loud shout and a flash of golden light, Sun Wukong suddenly appeared beside Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan and stopped him, “Old Mu, there’s a very strong barrier outside the city walls of Demonic Light City. If you charge in like this, you’ll be at a disadvantage!”

Sun Wukong had gotten accustomed to continuously keeping his Void-Breaking Divine Eye activated. Initially, it was maintained at the First Phase, but after breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, he found he could sustain it steadily at the Second Phase, and thus he kept it that way ever since. As soon as he arrived in front of Demonic Light City, he detected the barrier outside it; the entire Demonic Light City was enveloped within a colossal array barrier.

The barrier was powered by drawing spiritual energy from the Underground Dragon Vein beneath Demonic Light City to sustain its operation, a structure that was strikingly similar to the Mountain Protection Array of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. Clearly, Jidu Demon Emperor had also put considerable effort into fortifying Demonic Light City.

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, already overwhelmed with rage, regained his senses after Sun Wukong’s persuasion. He took a deep breath, suppressed the fury in his heart, and thanked Sun Wukong, “Brother Wukong, thank you!”

“Is there still a need for thanks between us?”

Sun Wukong waved his hand dismissively, his expression turned solemn, “Old Mu, rest assured. Since I, Old Sun, have followed you to Demonic Light City, I will definitely help you get your revenge!”

“And us too!”

Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque also flew up into the air, joining Sun Wukong and the others.

“That’s right, this time, I must make that bastard Jidu pay the price!”

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan laughed heartily. With the assistance of Sun Wukong and the others, Jidu Demon Emperor would definitely not be able to withstand them. He, Mu Chenxuan, was set on breaking through Demonic Light City!

“Is that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong? And the other two must be the Bull Demon King and the Six-Eared Macaque. Damn it!”

Jidu Demon Emperor’s gaze scanned over Sun Wukong and the others. Sun Wukong’s cultivation was not hidden, and Jidu Demon Emperor saw it clearly; it was just on the level of a Demon Emperor, half a level lower than himself. However, the rumors and news he heard about the Great Sage in recent days were numerous, all suggesting his strength far surpassed his cultivation level, even making the Demon Emperor-level Great Elder Liushui Quyang of the Liushui Family no match for Sun Wukong in a fight.

This monkey is definitely a formidable enemy!

Not only Sun Wukong, but Jidu Demon Emperor had also heard of the reputations of Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque. Although not as widely known as Sun Wukong, Jidu Demon Emperor still felt an indescribable threat emanating from both of them. It was evident that Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque were not ordinary figures and could likely match him in combat!

During their time at the Duanmu Clan over these three months, Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King had been practicing intensely every day. Apart from that, they couldn’t help much, but stimulated by the significant advancement in Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan’s cultivation strength and Sun Wukong’s breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint Realm, both desired to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm quickly to aid Sun Wukong and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan, at least not to feel like they were dragging them down.

Trapped in the Demonic Realm for over a decade, both had built up a deep foundation but had just not found the opportunity to break through. However, their intense cultivation efforts finally led them to their breakthrough point this time.
