The palace guards swarmed into the palace from all directions. The Monkey King stood on top of the Qin king's table and looked at the officials who were lying limply on the ground. He saw the Qin king's legs trembling as he collapsed in front of him. The Queen Mother's eyes rolled back as she let out a scream and fainted. The emperor and the officials in the palace were all in disgrace. The Monkey King was holding Ti Fangshi in his hand and the soldiers were all tied up. Some of them were trembling and some of them were pissing their pants. The scene was a mess.
Only Tai Qing and Chen Ang were able to sit still and observe the situation. The green ox came over quietly and waited outside the palace with the carriage on its back. The guards didn't pay attention to it when they passed by. Yi Xi, on the other hand, looked like he wanted to say something but didn't want to.
The Monkey King was highly skilled in martial arts. Although he didn't learn any martial arts from Chen Ang, his quantum primordial spirit could see through even a fly or an ant. In the eyes of the Monkey King, those soldiers were no different from slow puppets. With a wave of his hand, a group of soldiers fell to the ground.
He held Ti Fangshi upside down and pinned two guards to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot and his fangs were ferocious as he threatened the Qin king.
The Qin king screamed in fear, "Spare me, Grandpa Hero! Spare me, hero! " He pointed at Ti Fangshi in Monkey King's hand and said, "It's all because of this evil scoundrel that I made such a huge mistake. Hero, please help me get rid of this evil scoundrel!"
Wukong looked up to the sky and laughed. "I talked about reason with you, you talked about status with me, I asked you about knowledge, and you replied to me about seniority. I talked about human etiquette, and you talked about the difference between humans and beasts. I argued with you, and you came up and attacked me. I attacked you, and now you are begging me for mercy and etiquette … When he insulted me, you didn't say that he was evil. Now, we are five feet apart, and blood has spilled three steps away, and you are telling me that he is trying to sow discord?"
"When you laughed at me just now, you didn't care about my knowledge, etiquette, and music. Now, when you flatter me as a hero, you don't care about how arrogant I am and how I beat all of you to the ground. No matter what you do or how you treat me, you don't care who I am or what I do. It's just that … it depends on your own position! "
"When life and death are seized, you are arrogant. When your life is in someone else's hands, you bow and scrape!"
The Monkey King's eyes flashed with an ominous glint as he swung the human pole in his hand, wanting to kill Qin Wang. However, Chen Ang suddenly shouted, "Monkey King!" It was only then that the monkey regained some of its composure. It smiled coldly at the king of Qin and turned to leave. When it took ten steps back, the surrounding guards rushed forward and protected the king of Qin and the queen mother behind them. Only then did the king of Qin jump up in rage and bellow, "Kill it! Kill that monkey! Kill them! "
The Monkey King stretched out his hand and lifted an armored guard over his head, slamming him onto the ground. The heavily armored guard smashed into the ground, causing a group of people in front of him to fall to the ground. The Monkey King then stretched out his hand and took the metal dagger-axe from the armored guard and pointed it at the king of Qin, "What did you say, brat?"
The metal dagger-axe in his hand trembled, and it was unknown how many people in front of him had their limbs broken. The bronze dagger-axe was pointed at the king of Qin, causing the king of Qin to be dumbfounded. His face turned pale. The Monkey King casually tossed the bronze dagger-axe towards the king of Qin. The blade of the dagger-axe carried the king of Qin's body as it smashed through the screen and nailed into the wall behind him. The sharp edge of the dagger-axe didn't penetrate the king's body. Instead, it pierced through his chest and into the stone wall.
"It's just a mere hundred steps, why do I need to be angry when I take your life?"
Looking at the armored guards surrounding him, the Monkey King laughed and said, "Who dares to stop me?"
Chen Ang and Lao Zi had already stood up from their seats. At this moment, the attention of all the soldiers in the hall was completely focused on the Monkey King. No matter how they moved, they didn't attract any attention. All the armored guards surrounded the Monkey King and allowed Chen Ang and Lao Zi to walk out of the hall and walk towards the ox-cart.
Yi Xi asked worriedly, "Sages, how are we going to pass through the Qin Pass with the Monkey King in this state?"
Chen Ang only smiled and replied, "There are six to seven checkpoints in the army of a country. Above them, there are cowardly rulers, and below them are mediocre officials. The rest are only one or two outstanding talents, and they can't even be used. Moreover, with the muddle-headed officials holding us back, how are we going to pass through the Qin Pass?"
"Right now, there are three hundred armored guards in the hall, and Senior Monkey King isn't willing to hold the king of Qin hostage. Within the palace, there is an ambush every ten steps, and the soldiers are all enemies. How is he going to escape?"
"Do the nobles dare to risk their lives in the hall? When I arrived, I saw that the king of Qin was at a loss, the armored guards were at a loss, and the officials were panicking. If they have courage, even a flock of sheep can devour a tiger. If they lose their courage, what can they do to the enemy? "
In fact, these were just Chen Ang's casual superficial excuses. The real reason was not to mention Wukong's magical powers. In Chen Ang's eyes, the Qin State's armaments and the palace's defense could be said to be riddled with holes. There were loopholes everywhere. There were only a few hundred soldiers in the Qin Imperial Palace, and the imperial palace had the Imperial Court and the Imperial Harem. How could a mere few hundred people set up a tight defense? Chen Ang and the others rode on the ox cart. Under the rapid galloping of the green ox, there were occasionally one or two guards who tried to stop them. However, they were knocked away by the green ox's horns.
Out of Xianyang City, they walked for about ten miles before the Monkey King caught up with them. He said to Chen Ang, "Master, the king of Qin is just a good-for-nothing, and the guards in the palace are all useless. I fought my way out of the hall, and after three gates, no one dared to stop me anymore. They are so timid and afraid of the slightest thing! I heard from Zilu that Qin has the aura of a tiger and a wolf, but from what I saw today, it seems like it is nothing much! "
"Master, when we are out of Qin's territory, I will go back and play with him!"
Chen Ang only laughed, "That is the way of a demon, you can't do that."
"Master, the king of Qin was rude to both of you, and even spoke rudely to me. How is it the way of a demon to teach him a lesson?" Monkey King said softly, "I just want to scare him, I don't want his life!"
"That is the way of a demon …" Chen Ang laughed, "Do you still think you are a wild monkey without any background? Look at the cultivators who have mana in the surroundings. Those who do not are demons. Just like the wandering swordsmen in the surroundings. Their hair is disheveled, their clothes are short, and their words are hard to say. When they hit each other, their necks will be cut, and their lungs will be cut. Just because they dare to fight and kill, and are strong, blood will be spilled at every turn. They are just wandering warriors, and they rely on their ruthlessness, money, and connections. Incurring enmity with others was either due to a matter of pride, or it was for the sake of money and benefits, and it was an open fight. If you go and teach the king of Qin a lesson, you are just bullying him with your magical powers. When you hit him, blood will be spilled. "
"What's the difference between this method of relying on magic power and the monsters in the wilderness?"
"Monkey King, why do you think the king of Qin is making things difficult for you?" Chen Ang asked.
Monkey King scratched his head and replied, "Of course it is because of Ti Fangshi!"
"Oh?" Chen Ang laughed, and asked again, "Then why does Ti Fangshi want to make things difficult for you? For no reason at all, he provoked the king of Qin to harm you. "
"This …" Monkey King couldn't answer! Chen Ang could only explain, "Of course there is someone behind it." He then told the Monkey King about the God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning plotting against him … Monkey King was furious, and said, "God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning, it was just a joke in the past, and yet you are so persistent. I will not let this matter rest!"
"You stubborn monkey, are you waiting for the day when the God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning comes out to teach them a lesson?" Chen Ang asked. Looking at the Monkey King's hesitation, he knew that he had hit the nail on the head. Chen Ang shook his head, and said, "That is why I said that you are still wild, and you can't learn how the gods handle things."
"Master, what is the way the gods handle things?" Monkey King asked.
"How did the God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning plot against you?" Chen Ang asked back, "Let me tell you, there are five immortals in the heavens, and they have people above them. The Celestial Mountain in the Celestial Heavens belongs to the immortals, and there are rules above them. Even if the God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning hate you, they didn't use lightning to strike you. Instead, they ordered a necromancer in the mortal world to make things difficult for you."
"The immortals are like officials. If the demons are like the wanderers who can fight and kill, and they rely on their strength and supernatural powers, then the immortals in the heavens are like the officials in the imperial court, and the officials have different ways of doing things. If you're a wild demon without a backer, it'll be easy for him to control you. It's just like how an official controls a ranger and orders his men to capture you. The Thunder Division and Combat Division of the Celestial Heavens, the Celestial Army and Celestial Generals, the Human Realm's Arresting Constables, and the Military Officers are all prepared for this. "
"When the time comes, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in the sky will surround you like a net. The Thunder Division, Dou Division, the Heavenly Generals, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Six Kings, and the Four Marshals will all come after you. He has many soldiers and generals, and they will disturb you day and night. In the end, he will invite those with great supernatural powers. Even if it's just a God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning, which demon is he afraid of? "
"But you have people behind you! Monkey King! "
"You are helping Fellow Daoist Taiqing. He is an official in the Tushita Palace, the Grand Supreme Elder. Which immortal hasn't asked him for help? Although he doesn't have a high position, it's a good job. He has requests from everywhere, and his status is respected. Do you know how many connections he has in the Celestial Heavens? And I, Master, am the Master of the Beyond Heaven Sect, a friend from the other world! Even the Jade Emperor has to give me some face, lest my friends are shocked and it has a bad impact. "
"How can a mere God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning touch you?"
"They can only find an alchemist from the lower realm to take the blame and cause you some trouble. They don't dare to provoke me and Fellow Daoist Taiqing. Look at the chaos in the Qin Palace today. The swords and spears in the main hall have no eyes. Why are we unharmed?" Chen Ang smiled and said, "They are all Four World Merit Officials, Day and Night Wandering Gods. All of them covered their eyes and blinded the six senses of the mortal soldiers, so that we can sleep peacefully."
The Monkey King came to a realization. "I see. That Ti Fangshi is just an insignificant person. The God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning used him as a tool."
"Monkey King! You have learned many mystical abilities, Dharma spells, theories, and knowledge from me. Naturally, you can't mix with those ignorant wild demons. It seems glorious, but in fact, you are restricted in all aspects. Even longevity is illegal. Although the Spiritual Mountain of the Heavenly Courts will give you some face due to the legacy of the Grand Pure One and me, and you are more carefree than ordinary demons without any backing, there is no result. "
"It's best to get a position and cultivate. Fellow Daoist Taiqing transformed into me and traveled west to teach the barbarians to become Buddhas. You have great merit in the Heavenly Courts. I'll ask you to help me. In the future, when I ascend, I'll bring you up to become an immortal. There will be a position in the Tushita Palace. It's nice. The Grand Supreme Lord has a wide network. It's not difficult for him to become a general in the Four Divisions or a Star Lord."
"However, the atmosphere in the Heavenly Courts has been bad recently. The deities all over the world talk about human relationships. In terms of relationships, it's very complicated. I'm afraid that you'll accidentally offend someone and fall into their trap. You're a monkey with a rebellious bone in your head. You're very rebellious. If you become a bandit in the future, you'll be suppressed by the capable experts invited by the Spiritual Mountain of the Heavenly Courts. You'll suffer. It's better for me to explain the Dao to you so that you won't be unlucky in the future. Even if you become a bandit, you have to understand it clearly. When you kill your way to the Heavenly Courts to settle the score, you'll be able to do it clearly! "
"Master …" The Monkey King was very touched. "Thank you for your concern, Master!"
"So, this time, we'll follow the rules of the deities." Chen Ang said, "Don't look for the King of Qin first. The God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning will naturally plot against you more than once. This time, it's just a pretext."
"Pretext?" The Monkey King was confused.
"Yes!" Chen Ang said, "You're clear about the abilities of that necromancer. The God of Thunder and Goddess of Lightning aren't stupid. Why would they rely on this piece of trash to make things difficult for you? I think they just want to see you create trouble and offend the King of Qin. Then, they'll have a pretext to intervene and fight with you to embarrass you. The Elder Supreme Elder's journey to the west is a grand event in the Heavenly Courts. If they attack for no reason, they'll violate the Heavenly Laws and offend the Elder Supreme Elder. But now that you've created havoc in the Qin Court, it'll give them a reason to intervene. They'll use the King of Qin's request to use that necromancer to fight with you. If the Great Heavenly Venerable Jade Emperor finds out, it'll be reasonable. The Elder Supreme Elder and I won't make things difficult for them. "
