My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 745 - Betrayal

Chapter 745: Betrayal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the South-Heaven Gate, a golden light pierced through the calm sky and rushed out of the Heaven Gate.
While the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were stunned, the golden light had already disappeared into the sky.
After a while, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals heard a shout from behind them.
“Stop Bi Mawen! He actually betrayed the Heavenly Courts!”
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals looked at each other and looked at the clouds in the sky. There was no sign of the golden light.
The Heavenly Generals on duty at the South-Heaven Gate hurriedly rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment to report that Sun Wukong had left the Heaven Gate and headed for Huaguo Mountain of the lower realm.
There was an uproar in the Heavenly Courts.
He betrayed the heavens!
Originally, many officials and generals were already dissatisfied with recruiting a Demon King to be an official in the Heavenly Courts.
Now, the beautiful monkey king was dissatisfied with the official position given by the Heavenly Courts. It beat up the Heavenly Courts’ Marshal and kicked over the horse supervisor’s desk. Did it just rebel against the Heavenly Courts?
That would be terrible!
In front of the Lingxiao Hall, streams of light turned into civil and military gods and rushed into the hall.
The Marshal who had been beaten was still bruised and swollen. He was slightly injured. He described his tragic encounter in the hall and only said that he had been ambushed by the monkey. That was why he had been beaten so miserably.
The unknown Little Marshal cursed, “If I fight with that wild monkey, I will definitely teach him a lesson!”
Unexpectedly, a small official from the Imperial Horse Discipline who was kneeling behind the Marshal could not help but say softly, “Marshal, didn’t you attack first…”
“Yes?”
The marshal turned around and glared at the immortal official. When he turned around, he wanted to say something, but he felt an inexplicable pressure.
The Marshal looked up and saw Taibai Jinxing, who was usually friendly beside the Jade Emperor, looking at him expressionlessly. His gaze…
His essence soul trembled slightly and his spirit platform fell. He almost collapsed.
The Jade Emperor watched this scene calmly. Not only was he not angry, he even wanted to laugh.
The Jade Emperor wanted to see what the impostor beside him wanted to do. Or rather, what the Dao Ancestor wanted to do.
At that moment, Taibai Jinxing stood on the platform and cupped his hands at the Jade Emperor.
“Your Majesty, Bi Mawen is not willing to be controlled. He is actually so daring to sentence the Heavenly Courts! I previously recommended him to be an official in the Heavenly Courts because of his competency and capabilities. I have also failed to monitor him. Your Majesty, please punish me!”
However, he decided to make the matter more serious.
The Jade Emperor smiled and ignored Taibai Jinxing, who was beside him. Instead, he looked at the righteous gods below and asked, “Dear ministers, who can capture that Minister Mawen and bring him back to the Heavenly Courts to question him?”
The immortals below looked at each other. Li Jing, who was in the first row of generals, took half a step forward.
Li Jing.
It had been hundreds of years since he became a god. He had already made some progress in his cultivation and led troops in battle in the Heavenly Courts. He had made many contributions.
Li Jing was very good at the combination of troops and battle formations. Every time he arranged troops, he would not make any mistakes. With his son Nezha as the vanguard, he had never lost in the battle of the trichiliocosm. He was already known as Heavenly King Li.
However, Li Jing did not remember that he had a foster father before. He did not think that he was related to the Jade Emperor’s messenger on the platform and beside the Jade Emperor.
Li Jing only knew that he was from the Immortal Du Sect and had been accepted as a disciple by Perfected Du’e. When he became a god, he had relied on Nezha’s relationship to become a Marshal of the Heavenly Courts. Now, he had proven his strength step by step.
Of course, the Jade Emperor would take special care of it.
The Heavenly Courts had been in the Three Realms for a long time. There were times when they were weak, but they had also fought for a long time before they became powerful.
Since the establishment of the Heavenly Courts, very few immortals and immortals had brazenly defected.
Although resignation and treason were the same results, they were completely different.
Moreover, the traitor was a Demon King.
Li Jing heard Emperor Wen Yu’s question and immediately reported, “Your Majesty, I’m willing to capture the traitor, Bi Mawen!”
The marshals at the side retracted their steps angrily. Their reactions were half a beat slower.
The Jade Emperor said, “With Minister Li taking action, I’m naturally at ease. Minister, send the troops and go to Huaguo Mountain to retrieve the demonic monkey.”
“Yes!”
Li Jing lowered his head and accepted the order. He turned around, and his golden cloak fluttered. His left hand held the hilt of his sword at his waist, and his right hand held an ancient pagoda. The pearl in his helmet swayed gently and he walked towards the door of the hall.
The drums outside the hall sounded loudly!
Li Jing’s tiger token landed, and streams of light flew out of the Hall of Enlightenment. Groups of Heavenly Soldiers quickly gathered at the South-Heaven Gate and the East Heaven Gate, waiting for the entire army to capture Sun Wukong.
Li Jing deployed the troops. The accompanying generals could not lack Nezha. There were also generals like the Mighty Miracle God, the Mighty Strength God, and the Mighty Foot God.
At that moment, most of the immortals did not pay too much attention to that matter. However, they thought that Sun Wukong did not know the rules and thus committed such a capital offense. Letting Li Jing go and suppress the Demon Kings was like breaking a fly upon a wheel.
The Heavenly Courts’ expedition was naturally led by generals.
If the Heavenly Courts were really in danger or facing difficulties, a group of officials would go out to settle the matter.
Why would he need to ask the big shots of the eight righteous gods to fight the Demon King?
It would naturally take some effort for the Heavenly Courts to organize their troops.
Moreover, when Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain and saw his descendants, he cursed loudly. He said that the Heavenly Courts looked down on monkeys and gave him a low official position. He naturally endured it because he wanted to see where the Heavenly Courts were.
It was not impossible to get promoted.
However, the Heavenly Courts had let a general with weak abilities come to him for no reason!
This was intolerable!
How could they spoil him?
The Demon Kings of the various caves of Huaguo Mountain were rather nervous.
The Demon Kings thought that they had gotten an advantage by submitting to a Demon King that had been accepted by the Heavenly Courts. They could be more peaceful in the world in the future and not be as worried as before.
However, why did Sun Wukong suddenly return? It had only been a few days.
At that moment, a monkey asked, “Your Majesty, why are you back? Are you not happy in the Heavenly Courts?”
Sun Wukong told them about his previous encounter. The monkeys were immediately indignant, but the Demon Kings gradually turned pale.
“King!”
A deer demon shouted, “Could it be that you didn’t resign and returned just like that?”
Sun Wukong scolded jokingly, “Your King beat up the Heavenly Courts Marshal who went to cause trouble! He tore off the tacky immortal official robe and changed back into the mighty armor. Then, he kicked the desk and told them that it was fine if he lost the role as an official. He left the South-Heaven Gate. Quick, quick!”
The monkeys cheered. The Demon Kings’ expressions changed when they heard that.
How… How could this be?
Could the officials of the Heavenly Courts choose to resign as and when they pleased?
A Demon King wanted to mention the seriousness of the matter, but he was stopped by the demons beside him. The dozens of Demon Kings looked at each other and had their own plans.
Another monkey shouted, “Your Majesty! The Heavenly Courts are not a good place to go! You’re not subjected to any restrictions in the mountains. You still have to be controlled by others when you’re in the Heavenly Courts! Why don’t you stay in the mountains and be carefree with us in the future!?!”
Sun Wukong jumped back into the stone seat and smiled.
“Children, get some good wine and fruits. I’ll get drunk today!”
The monkeys agreed.
Hundreds of monkeys immediately rushed out of the Water Curtain Cave. They began to pluck fruits and transport some wine across the mountains.
The Demon Kings took the opportunity to bow. Sun Wukong looked at them and did not say anything. He just let them do as they pleased.
Not long after, Huaguo Mountain was lively. The monkeys jumped around everywhere. The demons were also happy and peaceful.
However, many old demons had already fled overnight. They were afraid that if they were too slow, lightning would strike their heads.
Sun Wukong ignored it.
It was not like he could not come and go to Huaguo Mountain as he pleased.
Back then, when Sun Wukong left Huaguo Mountain to seek an immortal cultivation method, there were already many monkey spirits in the mountain. Although they did not have a specific cultivation method, they could absorb the essence of the world, the sun, and the moon. They also had some Dharma powers.
It was also because these monkey spirits had lived for more than 200 years that Sun Wukong had returned to the mountain. The monkeys in the mountain still respected him as the King.
Sun Wukong had also obtained some immortal cultivation techniques from his master.
His master did not allow him to pass down the cultivation techniques that he cultivated, but these immortal cultivation techniques could also be given to the monkey spirits to cultivate and increase their lifespans.
At that moment, there were many monkey soldiers in Huaguo Mountain, and they all had some strength. There were also a few Primordial Mutated Monkeys under Sun Wukong’s tent, and they were all good seedlings of the Demon King.
Due to the fact that Sun Wukong was famous, many experts of the Monkey Clan had come to seek refuge and settled down in Huaguo Mountain.
The demons of Huaguo Mountain had long become successful.
Wukong and the demons were enjoying themselves during the banquet in the mountain.
That afternoon, they suddenly heard thunder. It was as if thousands of troops and horses were rolling over from above. The world was dark. The demons were shocked. Wukong also jolted awake.
He heard a roar from the thunder.
“Brazen Bi Mawen! Aren’t you going out to be restrained! Follow us back to the Heavenly Courts to be interrogated!”
Sun Wukong’s figure flashed and jumped straight to the peak of Huaguo Mountain. He looked up at the dark clouds that filled the sky, and the armor on his body shone with a dark golden light.
A huge face condensed in the middle of the dark clouds. A pair of azure eyes that seemed to be condensed from divine lightning opened. A powerful voice echoed in the world again.
“Bi Mawen! Quickly capture him!”
“Yes?”
Wukong smiled nonchalantly. “Don’t use such a title. I’m not going to be Bi Mawen!”
“How dare you!”
The huge face roared, “How can the Heavenly Courts’ Godhood be child’s play!?! Do you think you can quit just because you want to? You have committed a heinous crime by betraying the Heavenly Courts! If you surrender now, there is still a chance of survival. If I appear, your Huaguo Mountain will probably be flattened by me!”
“Hmph, how arrogant!”
Sun Wukong scolded, “Your Heavenly Courts are not good at using people. Aren’t you going to let them leave? What kind of tyrannical logic is that!?!”
“Sun Wukong! Don’t joke around!”
The dark clouds trembled. The huge face reached down and revealed its neck and torso.
It was actually a giant. She was ten thousand feet tall, looked ferocious, and had a majestic figure. She held a pair of huge axes in her hand, and she looked very similar to the female Magi who had two ponytails.
Boom!
The giant landed steadily and stood on the side peak of Huaguo Mountain. He stepped on the mountain until cracks appeared. His majestic body emitted a shocking pressure.
Above the giant’s head, layers of dark clouds overlapped and filled the sky. Hundreds of bare-chested Heavenly Soldiers beat the drums with all their might. Behind them, countless Heavenly Soldiers holding spears were silent.
The Heavenly Might was vast!
Sun Wukong’s gaze focused. He stopped smiling and took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang from his ear.
With a clang, the Ruyi Jingu Bang was supported behind him. The two wings of the phoenix wing, the purple-gold crown, and the golden mail shone brightly. The dark-gold monkey fur on his body emitted intense battle intent.
The Mighty Miracle God shouted, “I’m here to capture the giant spirit!”
Sun Wukong squinted and his body suddenly expanded. In the blink of an eye, he turned into hundreds of feet and thousands of feet. In an instant, he expanded to ten thousand feet and faced the Mighty Miracle God!
Heavenly Transformation? Heavenly Transformation?
This monkey actually knows the Dao Sect’s protective mystical ability!
The Mighty Miracle God panicked and immediately advanced. He raised his ax and slashed at Sun Wukong’s head.
However, Sun Wukong did not want to fight there. His ten-thousand-feet-tall figure flashed and appeared behind the Mighty Miracle God.
It’s so huge, but it can still be used for Cosmic Transference?
The Mighty Miracle God immediately panicked.
He had easily won against dozens of demon kings with his Dharma Body mystical abilities. He did not expect to meet such a tough opponent today.
Just as he was about to turn around, the Mighty Miracle God felt an iron-like hand grab his neck. The huge force pulled his body at will and threw him towards the East Ocean’s smoke wave like a sack!
This… this?
Isn’t Bi Mawen a Golden Immortal Demon King? Why is he so powerful?
The Mighty Miracle God was crying loudly. He stabilized himself in mid-air and stepped on the shallow sea. He turned around and ran towards Sun Wukong.
The ground trembled continuously, and the seawater churned.
Although Sun Wukong had transformed into a thousand-feet-tall figure, he did not lack spirituality and elegance. He tapped his feet on the mountain of Huaguo Mountain and did not step firmly. He had already rushed to the edge of the East Ocean and fought the Mighty Miracle God.
The two axes seemed to be about to split the mountain ridge. The metal rod seemed to be about to shatter the universe.
White clouds rolled in the sky, and the waves of the East Ocean surged.
However, the moves of the Mighty Miracle God were too stiff. In just a few exchanges, he had already suffered a few strikes from Sun Wukong. He was beaten until he kept retreating, and he could not hold his huge ax steadily in his hands.
That was because Sun Wukong did not pull a killer move.
The Mighty Miracle God thought that something was amiss. Just as he was about to shout a few polite words and retreat, he heard the drum order to retreat.
The Mighty Miracle God thought that he was lucky. He took the opportunity to attack the monkey and quickly jumped back.
“Let’s fight today! Monsters, don’t be arrogant!”
The Mighty Miracle God cursed and suddenly shrank. He turned into a stream of light and rushed into the sky.
However, Sun Wukong did not chase after him. He looked up at the battle formation in the sky and smiled mockingly. He dispersed his Dharma Body mystical ability and flew back to Huaguo Mountain with the Golden-Hooped Rod.
He had easily won the first round.
When Sun Wukong returned to the mountain, there were naturally many monkeys congratulating him. However, most of the Demon Kings had disappeared. Only seven to eight young Demon Kings congratulated him.
Sun Wukong did not say anything in response to that. He only ordered the monkey soldiers to prepare for battle.
Moreover, the Mighty Miracle God had returned to the Heavenly Soldiers’ main array. He looked awkward and troubled. His figure turned to the height of an ordinary person and knelt on one knee in front of Li Jing.
“I have failed my mission. Marshal, please punish me.”
“General Mighty Miracle, there’s no need to punish me. I underestimated the methods of Bi Mawen.”
Li Jing said and sat on the round chair.
He actually did not like having a beard. However, he now held the commander’s seal and led the troops. If he didn’t look dignified enough, he would not be able to convince the masses.
Another Golden Immortal Heavenly General walked forward and said loudly,
“Grand Marshal! Bi Mawen is brave and powerful. He has some abilities. I’m willing to lead a Heavenly Soldier to capture him and attack him with a battle formation!”
Li Jing was about to nod, but he suddenly recalled the Jade Emperor’s instructions when he arrived.
“Marshal Li, it’s better to delay the capture of Bi Mawen.”
Li Jing did not like this old courtesan. However, he was a close subordinate of the Jade Emperor. He was also known as the Jade Emperor’s messenger.
The other party’s meaning was equivalent to His Majesty’s decree.
He was a minister. His first priority was to be loyal to His Majesty.
“There’s no hurry,” Li Jing said. “Let’s wait for a while. We’ll send the brave generals to capture them tomorrow. This is the land of the five continents, the prosperous place of the Three Realms. If we can capture Sun Wukong directly, there will be no need to start a war.”
“Okay!”
After the generals left, Nezha hugged the fire spear and yawned. The young man looked a little bored.
The next day, another Heavenly General came out to battle. Sun Wukong gladly accepted the battle. He sent the Heavenly General away in three moves and kicked him back into the sky.
The demons’ morale was greatly shaken, and the monkeys were overjoyed.
On the third and fourth days, the Heavenly Generals went out to call for battle. They were all dismissed by Sun Wukong casually.
How could the demons withstand such “encouragement”?
One by one, the Demon Kings who had fled appeared near Huaguo Mountain. Many radical ancient demon experts came after hearing the news.
Sun Wukong only smiled in disdain and ordered that only monkeys could enter the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain.
On the fifth day.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the early morning of Huaguo Mountain was filled with noise.
In the sky, the number of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals increased. The sound of the drums became surprisingly consistent.
On the ground, demons gathered and a demonic aura surged into the clouds. Monkey troops lined up and set up formations. They were dressed in simple armor and held weapons as they shouted loudly throughout the mountains.
The atmosphere was rather solemn.
Sun Wukong stood alone on the mountain peak and looked up at the dark clouds above.
He said leisurely, “Are there no Heavenly Courts’ generals who can fight?”
“Bi Mawen, do you think you’re very good at fighting?”
A small reply came from the cloud. A layer of fiery-red shadow appeared at the bottom of the black cloud. A clear Dao rune circulated in the world.
Suddenly, the cloud broke apart and a figure crashed through the cloud and flew down.
Sun Wukong focused his gaze and saw the handsome young man standing on a pair of fire wheels.
He held a sharp spear in his hand and was dressed in a lotus flower battle robe. There were two hairbags on his head, and his face was still a little childish.
Nezha.
Sun Wukong smiled when he saw that and scolded, “Are there no generals in the Heavenly Courts? Why did they send you, little kid?”
“Little kid?”
Nezha raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “You have yet to be born. I’m already a legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts. According to my age, it won’t be wrong for you to call me Grandpa. Don’t think that just because you say some harsh words, you are a ruthless person in the Primordial World. You can’t rebel. You can’t cover this land. You’re just a monkey that’s being wrapped around someone else’s finger. Why are you acting like a hero?”
Sun Wukong immediately bared his teeth and revealed a ferocious expression.
Nezha smiled faintly. He held the Fire-Pointed Spear in his hand and drew a flower with it. Wisps of flames wrapped around him, and his hair bag was untied. His long hair kept dancing with the flames.
He pointed his spear.
“One battle.”
