Urban Invincible Medical Divine

Chapter 244: Chapter 244 What a Rightful View and Hearing (Third Update)

“Hehe, of course it wasn’t that simple. To get this gourd of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, yours truly had to use a gourd of three-thousand-year-old Combat Victory Wine and promise of six-thousand-year-old and nine-thousand-year-old Combat Victory Wine!”

Sun Wukong chuckled as he took out a gourd of the three-thousand-year-old Combat Victory Wine, applied a slight force with his palm, and the gourd flew from his hand into the hands of the Leader of Tongtian.

“Combat Victory Wine?”

The Leader of Tongtian opened the gourd’s stopper with a puzzled look, took a whiff, and his eyes immediately lit up, “Fine wine!”

“Wukong, where did you get this wine?”

“I brewed it myself.”

Sun Wukong repeated to the Leader of Tongtian what he had told The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, which made the Leader’s eyes sparkle with excitement, and he burst into hearty laughter, “Well done, well done! I didn’t expect you to have such skill, Wukong. This Combat Victory Wine is truly extraordinary, much stronger in effects than an ordinary Peach of Immortality!”

“This wine is a gift for the sect leader. Once the six-thousand-year-old and nine-thousand-year-old batches are ready, yours truly will deliver them to you!”

Sun Wukong’s attitude towards the Leader of Tongtian was different from how he treated The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, not just because the Leader was his good brother Luo Bai’s master, but more importantly, because the Leader had proactively helped him when he was in danger. A small kindness should be returned with a fountain of gratitude, and furthermore, the nature of the Leader of Tongtian was always to Sun Wukong’s liking. If it weren’t for the large difference in seniority, Wukong probably would’ve slung an arm over his shoulder right away.

“Alright, then I won’t be courteous with you, Wukong!”

The Leader of Tongtian smiled, nodded in thanks, and accepted the three-thousand-year-old Combat Victory Wine. He then turned his gaze towards the Taotie next to Sun Wukong, “So, you’re the Demonic Beast Taotie who was sealed by Second Senior Brother at the bottom of the Heavenly River? The commotion you’ve caused since breaking the seal has indeed been no small affair!”

“I am Taotie! You, what do you want to do?”

Taotie looked at the Leader of Tongtian nervously. The aura emanating from the Leader was as unfathomable as that of The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, and Taotie was well aware that with his current cultivation strength, he could likely not withstand even a single move from the Leader. As soon as the Leader laid eyes on him, Taotie stiffened up, his entire body tense.

“Taotie, don’t be nervous; the sect leader means you no harm. Otherwise, do you think you would still be sitting here so calmly?”

Sun Wukong hurriedly reassured Taotie. This guy was, after all, a powerhouse of the Quasi-Saint Realm. How could he be so timid? When he was in Doushui Palace, he cowered before The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, and now in Greenwave Palace, he still looked ready to bolt at any second upon meeting the Leader of Tongtian. Truly embarrassing!

“No need to worry, I have no intention of making things difficult for you.”

The Leader of Tongtian chuckled lightly, “Having maintained the Quasi-Saint Cultivation after being sealed for so many years, it seems your Innate Divine Ability to devour is indeed powerful. However, if you continue to stay here in the Heavenly Court, you’ll inevitably be discovered sooner or later. I can’t possibly keep you here in Greenwave Palace indefinitely.”

“Sooner or later discovered? What do you mean by that, sect leader? Has the Heavenly Court found out about us?”

Sun Wukong furrowed his brows. The Leader’s words seemed to have a deeper implication. If he wasn’t confident, he surely wouldn’t have put it that way.

“Not exactly discovered, but the Jade Emperor has already been informed about the guards on the Heavenly Ladder being knocked unconscious. Now the Heavenly Court’s defense forces are searching each layer of the ladder up towards all the Heavenly Pavilions. Eventually, they will reach Greenwave Palace, so it’s best for him to leave quickly!”

“Leave? How shall we leave?”

Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with determination, “Are we supposed to fight our way out of the Southern Heavenly Gate?”

“There’s no need for force. I will send him out of the Heavenly Court.”

As the Leader of Tongtian spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a spatial vortex appeared out of thin air three feet in front of Taotie, “Step inside, and you’ll be transported out of the Heavenly Court. Once you’re out, it would be best to reveal your presence, so that those in the Heavenly Court know you’ve already left. Then, the search will cease.”

“I can leave the Heavenly Court by stepping into this?”

Taotie’s eyes widened, and Sun Wukong also appeared astonished. The four great Heavenly Gates had been completely closed off, meaning the entire Heavenly Court was now isolated from the outside world. With a simple flick of the wrist, the Leader of Tongtian was able to bypass the barriers of the four great Heavenly Gates and send Taotie out? Was this the power of a Heavenly Dao Saint, to flip the hand and tear through space, completely disregarding the Heavenly Dao Laws? Too formidable!

“If the sect leader says it can be done, it can be done. There’s no time to delay; Taotie, you should leave quickly!”

“Great Saint, aren’t you coming with me?”

“Yours truly still has unfinished business in the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have already grabbed you and dashed through the Southern Heavenly Gate by now?”

Sun Wukong laughed, “After you leave, you can go to the Flower-Fruit Mountain in Aolai Kingdom on the East Victorious Divine Continent, which is my territory and also the passageway to the Demonic Realm. If Brother Mu comes out from the Dragon Nest, I think he would likely head to the Flower-Fruit Mountain as well.”

Taotie nodded and then solemnly placed a hand over his chest, giving Sun Wukong a deep bow, “Great Sage, gratitude for saving my life cannot be expressed in words. I, Taotie, will keep it etched in my heart. If there comes a day when you need my service, just say the word, and Taotie will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

“It’s not that serious!”

Sun Wukong waved dismissively, “There’s no need for going through fire and water. Just don’t shirk when I really do need help.”

“Rest assured, Great Sage. I, Taotie, swear upon my life. I shall never let down the Great Sage in this lifetime! Should I break this oath, let demon flames burn my heart, and may I die a grievous death!”

As he spoke, a demonic rune flew out from between his eyebrows and landed in Sun Wukong’s palm. It was a demon soul oath, as binding as a heart demon blood oath. Once made, it was sure to be honored; no one dared break it lightly.

“Why bother with this… I was just saying, you didn’t need to swear such an oath… Alright, alright, I’ll accept this oath token. But let’s not delay; you better leave at once!”

Sun Wukong managed a wry smile, helpless in this situation. He had saved Taotie purely to trouble the Heavenly Court and to counter Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng and his two deputies by turning their own scheme against them. He never intended for Taotie to feel indebted. However, since the other insisted, it would be disrespectful not to accept it. So, he decided to keep it for now.

Taotie plunged into the spatial passage, his figure vanishing in an instant, and the passage itself also disappeared. Taking a deep breath, Sun Wukong turned his attention to the Leader of Tongtian and, standing up, said, “Sect Hierarch, if there’s nothing more, Wukong will take his leave so as not to cause any trouble to the Greenwave Palace.”

“I’m not afraid of trouble. But indeed, you should leave. The edict from the Jade Emperor is almost at the Naval Marshal’s Mansion. If you’re not there to receive it, the blame for Taotie’s escape will surely fall squarely on you.”

“The Jade Emperor has sent someone to the Naval Marshal’s Mansion with an edict? He wants to summon me? Why?”

Sun Wukong furrowed his brows. Although it had indeed been he who rescued Taotie, there shouldn’t have been any evidence left behind. How could the Jade Emperor’s summons and the blame for Taotie’s escape be related?

“Do you even need to ask? You haven’t shown your face for so many days; of course, the Jade Emperor would suspect you! Come on, I’ll send you on your way. You better hurry back to the Naval Marshal’s Mansion and wait. You don’t have the strength to completely fall out with the Heavenly Court yet, so keep a low profile for the time being.”

The Leader of Tongtian said and, waving his hand, he opened another spatial passage leading directly to Sun Wukong’s house at the Naval Marshal’s Mansion. Sun Wukong had no more words; he gave a nod and a fist-palm salute to the Sect Hierarch, then stepped into the spatial passage.

“Little monkey, this is as much as I can help you. The third limitless calamity is coming. I hope you can bring about the best outcome for it,”

Watching Sun Wukong’s figure disappear into the spatial passage, a mysterious glimmer flashed in the eyes of the Leader of Tongtian as he murmured to himself.

In the Naval Marshal’s Mansion, the heavenly official tasked with delivering the edict arrived at Sun Wukong’s house, accompanied by Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng.

“His Majesty the Jade Emperor decrees, is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven present? Come out quickly to receive the edict!”

“Is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven present? His Majesty the Jade Emperor has a decree; come out quickly to receive the edict!”

“Great Sage Equal to Heaven, come out quickly to receive the edict!”@@novelbin@@

The official proclaiming the edict shouted three times in front of the door, but there was no response from inside, which made him frown, “Could he be in closed-door cultivation and not heard us?”

“You’re overthinking it, heavenly official. That Demon Monkey Sun Wukong isn’t in the house at all. Ever since Taotie broke free and thrashed the Heavenly Court, he’s been missing in action. Right now, he must still be in cahoots with that Demonic Beast Taotie. How could he possibly appear to receive the edict?”

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng sneered, “Heavenly official, we should go back and report to His Majesty. Have Him issue an imperial warrant to capture the Demon Monkey. Bring him to justice as soon as possible, to demonstrate authority, and to fortify Heaven’s prestige!”

“What impressive words about demonstrating authority and fortifying Heaven’s prestige! Zhu Tianpeng, I would like to ask where your authority and Heavenly prestige come from, and how you intend to use it against me?”

Before the heavenly official could reply, Sun Wukong’s voice suddenly came from inside the house. As his voice rang out, the door opened, and Sun Wukong strode out, bristling with evil qi as he glared coldly at Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng.

“How are you here?”

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng’s eyes widened, mouth agape. How could Sun Wukong be in the house? He had ordered a prior investigation; Sun Wukong was not in the Naval Marshal’s Mansion, and no one had seen him return from outside. How then did he suddenly appear from inside the house, as if popping up out of nowhere?

“This is where I live. Isn’t it normal for me to be here? But you, Zhu Tianpeng, while I was quietly cultivating in my house, I neither provoked you nor bothered you, yet you keep stirring up trouble outside. And you even want to poison His Majesty’s mind against me. Shouldn’t I settle this score with you properly?”
