Chapter 386 Heavenly Secret Weapon!
Chapter 386 Heavenly Secret Weapon!
Sun Wukong’s somersault cloud passed across the sky as fast as the wind, and in the blink of an eye it arrived above Guanjiangkou.
Looking from afar, he saw a murderous atmosphere on the martial arts field outside Guanjiangkou. The heavenly soldiers and generals were lined up in neat rows, with swords and spears like a forest. Yang Jian, wearing silver armor and holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, was inspecting the troops.
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and with a shake of his body, he turned into a fly and flew lightly towards Yang Jian’s study.
He landed silently on the window frame of the study and looked inside through the gap. He saw the six Meishan brothers sitting around the table, discussing something solemnly.
Sun Wukong flapped his wings gently, landed on a corner of the table, and silently returned to his original form.
“Brothers, long time no see.”
Sun Wukong spoke softly. Although his voice was not loud, it startled the six Meishan brothers.
“Great Sage!”
The six Meishan brothers stood up at the same time, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
The eldest brother, Kang Anyu, spoke first, with a hint of urgency in his tone:
“Why is the Great Sage here? Did something happen in Flower-Fruit Mountain?”
From their attitudes, it can be seen that Yang Jian and they already know something.
Sun Wukong waved his hand, motioning them to sit down, and said in a low voice:
“The Heavenly Court has been making frequent moves recently, deploying troops and generals. On the surface, it is to deal with our demon race, but in fact, it has other intentions…”
“Not only do they want to eradicate Huaguo Mountain, they also want to target other forces, including Yang Jian and Nezha.”
When the six Meishan brothers heard this, their faces changed.
The second son, Zhang Boshi, frowned and said in a deep voice:
“Are you serious, Great Sage? Are you sure that Heaven is going to take action against you, Master?”
Sun Wukong nodded, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes:
“I am telling you this. I have personally seen the files of the Heavenly Court. Yang Jian is already on the Heavenly Court’s blacklist. If we don’t take action, I’m afraid Guanjiangkou will also become their target.”
The third brother, Li Huanzhang, slammed the table and said angrily:
“How ridiculous! The Heavenly Court has been making things difficult for the Second Master over the years, and now they are trying to get rid of him. This is simply too much!”
The fourth brother, Yao Gonglin, had a gloomy expression on his face and said in a deep voice:
“Great Sage, this matter is of great importance. We need to inform the Second Master immediately and make early plans.”
Sun Wukong nodded:
“That’s exactly what I meant. However, Yang Jian has always been on good terms with the Heavenly Court, so I’m afraid he may not be able to accept it for the time being. You need to tell him tactfully and don’t let him resist too much.”
The six Meishan brothers responded in unison:
“Don’t worry, Great Sage. We will handle it properly.”
Sun Wukong smiled slightly, his body flashed, and he turned into a fly again, flew out through the window, and headed straight for the East China Sea.
The six Meishan brothers watched Sun Wukong leave, and Kang Anyu turned around and said to everyone:
“Without further delay, let’s go find the Second Master!”
Everyone nodded, then quickly walked out of the study and headed straight for the martial arts arena.
At this time, Yang Jian was standing on a high platform, looking coldly at the heavenly soldiers and generals training below.
The six Meishan brothers came forward, and Kang Anyu bowed and said:
“Second Master, I have something important to report.”
Yang Jian frowned slightly, his eyes fell on them, and his tone was cold:
“What’s the matter?”
Kang Anyu took a step forward and said in a low voice:
“Second Master, the Great Sage just came to visit us and told us that the Heavenly Court intends to take action against you recently. I’m afraid you are already on the Heavenly Court’s blacklist.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian’s face suddenly darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes:
“Is this true?”
Zhang Boshi nodded and said:
“The Great Sage has personally seen the files of the Heavenly Court, and his words are absolutely true. Second Master, you are well aware of the Heavenly Court’s attitude towards you over the years. I’m afraid they are going to get rid of you completely this time.”
Yang Jian was silent for a moment, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
He clenched the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, his knuckles turned slightly white, and there was a chill in his tone:
“The Heavenly Palace really can’t accommodate me.”
Li Huanzhang took a step forward and said firmly:
“Second Master, the Heavenly Court is too bullying. We cannot just sit there and wait for death! Why not join forces with the Great Sage and fight against the Heavenly Court together!”
Yang Jian looked deep in his eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly:
“Well, since the Heavenly Court is unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust. Go and mobilize the troops immediately!”
The six Meishan brothers responded in unison:
“Yes, Second Master!”
At the same time, Sun Wukong had arrived at the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea on his somersault cloud.
He leaped into the sea. The water-repellent beads in his hands glowed slightly, instantly pushing away the surrounding sea water to form a passage.
He strode into the Dragon Palace. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were coming towards him saw that it was him and did not dare to stop him and retreated one after another.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was drinking tea in the palace. He was startled to see Sun Wukong suddenly arrive, and quickly stood up to greet him:
“How come the Great Sage has time to come to my Dragon Palace today?”
Sun Wukong smiled slightly and cupped his hands:
“Old Dragon King, I came here today to discuss something with you.”
Seeing Sun Wukong’s serious expression, Ao Guang couldn’t help but feel puzzled and asked hurriedly:
“You can say whatever you want, Great Sage.”
Sun Wukong walked slowly to the center of the hall, staring at Ao Guang, and said in a serious tone:
“The Heavenly Court has recently deployed troops. On the surface, they are targeting our Flower-Fruit Mountain, but in fact, they have other plans. They not only want to attack the demon clan, but also deal with various forces, including your dragon clan.”
When Ao Guang heard this, his face suddenly changed. The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea splashed out.
He said in a deep voice:
“Does the Great Sage really mean what he said?”
Sun Wukong nodded:
“That’s absolutely true. The Heavenly Court’s files have clearly listed the Dragon Clan as their target. If we don’t take action, I’m afraid the Dragon Palace will become their next target.”
Ao Guang was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in his tone:
“Great Sage, although my dragon race does not want to be an enemy of Heaven, we will never sit still and wait for death. However, Heaven is so powerful that I am afraid we will not be able to contend with it.”
Sun Wukong’s eyes were firm, and his tone was somewhat confident:
“Old Dragon King, don’t worry. I have contacted Yang Jian and Nezha, as well as other forces targeted by the Heavenly Court. As long as we unite, the ambitions of the Heavenly Court will be shattered.”
Ao Guang hesitated for a moment, and a hint of determination gradually flashed in his eyes:
“Okay! Since the Great Sage is so determined, my dragon clan is willing to lend a helping hand. However, my Dragon Palace has limited manpower, so I still need the Great Sage’s care.”
Sun Wukong laughed and patted Ao Guang on the shoulder:
“Don’t worry, old Dragon King. I will definitely keep the Dragon Palace safe. Besides, I need to ask you for a treasure.”
Ao Guang hurriedly asked:
“What does the Great Sage need?”
Sun Wukong smiled and said:
“Avoid water beads so that it will be easier to do things in the future.”
Ao Guang nodded, turned around, took out a crystal clear bead from his sleeve, and handed it to Sun Wukong:
“Great Sage, please keep this item. It can help you enter and exit the deep sea freely.”
Sun Wukong took the water-repellent bead and bowed, saying:
“Thank you, old Dragon King.”
After bidding farewell to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Sun Wukong rode on his somersault cloud and headed straight for Xiniu Hezhou.
The clouds rolled, the wind howled, and his figure was looming in the clouds.
Xiniu Hezhou is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist. It is an ideal place to live in seclusion.
Sun Wukong thought to himself:
“The old friend of Master Subhuti must be a powerful person. If we can get his help, the conspiracy of Heaven may be exposed sooner.” Not long after, Sun Wukong landed in a valley in Xiniu Hezhou.
The valley is quiet, surrounded by towering ancient trees, and there is only a winding path leading to the depths.
He walked along the path, his steps light and his eyes sharp, looking around.
As we walked deeper into the cave, a simple thatched cottage came into view. In front of the cottage were several vegetable plots planted with some common medicinal herbs.
Sun Wukong went forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
He frowned, reached out and pushed the door, which opened.
The room was simply furnished with a wooden table, a few bamboo chairs, and a jade slip on the table.
Sun Wukong picked up the jade slip and felt the faint spiritual power contained in it. He squeezed it lightly, and a passage of text suddenly appeared in the jade slip.
“The secret base of the Heavenly Court is located in the land of Northern Juluzhou. They are developing powerful weapons, which may be detrimental to the demon race.”
After Sun Wukong finished reading, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. He put the jade slip away and thought to himself:
“The Heavenly Court is indeed plotting in secret. If we don’t stop it in time, the demon race will be doomed to eternal damnation.”
He did not delay any longer. His figure flashed and turned into a ray of golden light, rushing straight into the sky.
The somersault cloud was extremely fast and soon returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
In front of the Water Curtain Cave, Bull Demon King and others were gathered together to discuss. When they saw Sun Wukong returning, they all came forward to greet him.
“Brother, did you gain anything from this trip?”
The Bull Demon King strode forward and patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder in a loud voice.
Sun Wukong handed the jade slip to Bull Demon King with a serious expression:
“Brother, the situation is more serious than we expected. The Heavenly Court is secretly developing a weapon in Northern Juluzhou that is specifically targeting our demon race.”
The Bull Demon King took the jade slip, frowned, lowered his head and read the contents of the jade slip, his face suddenly darkened.
He looked up at his brothers and said in a low voice:
“This matter is of great importance. We must find out the truth as soon as possible.”
The Jiao Demon King and the Peng Demon King looked at each other, and a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes.
The Jiao Demon King took a step forward, clasped his fists and said:
“Brother, leave this matter to me and King Peng. We will immediately set off to Northern Julu Continent to find out the truth.”
The Bull Demon King nodded, his eyes full of trust:
“Okay, you must be careful. If there is any danger, withdraw immediately.”
The Jiao Demon King and the Peng Demon King took the order and left. Sun Wukong watched them leave, still feeling a little uneasy.
He turned to the Bull Demon King and said:
“Brother, the Heavenly Court has been very active recently. We can’t just sit there and wait for death. We must make preparations early.”
The Bull Demon King hesitated for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:
“You are right, brother. Let us gather all the brothers immediately to discuss countermeasures.”
That night, the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain was brightly lit, and all the demon kings gathered together.
Sun Wukong told everyone the conspiracy of Heaven in detail, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The Bull Demon King stood up and shouted in a thunderous voice:
“Brothers, the Heavenly Court wants to destroy our demon race, we must not surrender! From today on, everyone should intensify their training and be ready to fight at any time!”
All the monsters responded in unison, their morale high.
At the same time, the Jiao Demon King and the Peng Demon King had transformed into ordinary monsters and sneaked into Uttarakuru quietly.
Uttarakuru is located in the far north, with a very cold climate and steep mountains covered with ice and snow all year round.
The two searched here for several days and finally found a hidden valley. Outside the valley, there were countless heavenly soldiers and generals guarding it, and the security was very strict.
“It seems like this is it.”
The Jiao Demon King spoke in a low voice, his eyes as sharp as torches.
Demon King Peng nodded, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes:
“We need to be careful and not rush in rashly.”
The two men secretly observed from the outskirts of the valley and found that the guards in heaven were extremely strict. Patrolling heavenly soldiers and generals were constantly patrolling outside the valley, and any disturbance would arouse their vigilance.
“We can’t go on like this. We have to find a way to get in.”
The Jiao Demon King frowned.
Demon King Peng pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
“I have an idea.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into an ordinary snow sculpture and flew over the valley.
Upon seeing this, the Dragon King immediately transformed into a snow snake and swam quickly along the mountain wall.
The two of them went up and down, avoiding the eyes and ears of the heavenly soldiers and finally sneaked into the valley.
The valley was filled with a busy scene, with countless heavenly soldiers and generals busy carrying all kinds of exotic materials. In the center of the valley stood a huge black stone platform, which was engraved with complex runes. It was obviously a magical weapon of great power.
The Dragon Demon King hid in the shadow of the mountain wall, his eyes fixed on the stone platform, feeling increasingly uneasy.
He whispered to the Demon King Peng:
“It seems that the Heavenly Court is indeed developing weapons against our race. We must send the news back to Huaguo Mountain as soon as possible.”
Demon King Peng nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes:
“This matter cannot be delayed. We must withdraw immediately.”
The two were about to leave when they suddenly heard footsteps.
The Jiao Demon King quickly hid in the shadows and held his breath. He saw two heavenly soldiers approaching and talking in low voices.
“Once this magic weapon is completed, the demon race will have no chance of recovery.”
The Jiao Demon King was horrified when he heard this, and secretly rejoiced:
“Fortunately we discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.”
The two did not dare to stay for long and quietly left the valley under the cover of night.
After returning to Huaguo Mountain, Jiao Demon King immediately told Sun Wukong and Niu Demon King in detail what he had seen and heard.
“The magic weapon developed by the Heavenly Court is indeed aimed at our race. Once activated, I am afraid that our demon race will face a catastrophe.”
The Dragon Demon King spoke in a heavy tone, his eyes full of worry.
Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King’s face darkened. He turned to look at Sun Wukong and said in a deep voice:
“My dear brother, the conspiracy of the Heavenly Court has been exposed. We can no longer sit and wait for death. We must take action immediately.”
Sun Wukong’s eyes were as sharp as torches, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes:
“Brother is right. Instead of waiting for the Heavenly Court to take action against us, it is better to take the initiative and destroy their secret weapon.”
The Bull Demon King nodded heavily, his voice like thunder:
“Okay! Let’s gather all the brothers immediately to discuss the specific actions.”
After a while, when everyone gathered, Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong looked at each other, both with solemnity and determination in their eyes.
The Bull Demon King spoke first, his voice deep and powerful:
“This matter is of great importance. Once the secret weapon of the Heavenly Court is activated, the demon race will be doomed. We cannot wait any longer.”
Sun Wukong nodded, a sharp light flashed in his eyes:
“Well, I suggest that we split our forces into two groups. Big brother will lead some of the demon soldiers to feint and attack the Heavenly Palace head-on to attract the main force of the Heavenly Palace, while I will lead another group of people to sneak into Northern Juluzhou and destroy their secret weapons.”
The Bull Demon King pondered for a moment and nodded slowly:
“My dear brother, this plan is feasible. However, the terrain of Northern Juluzhou is steep and the guards of the Heavenly Palace must be strict. My dear brother, you must be extremely careful on this trip.”
