"Master, are we just going to let those three stars ascend to heaven so easily, and then wait for them to be rewarded with merit later? Isn't that too lenient on those three?"
While Sun Kong himself didn't want to bother with others, he noticed that his second brother Wu Zhiqi and third brother Zhou Wuxian, who were behind him, had sensed something.
Both clearly had different views on this matter.
Wu Zhiqi, being outspoken, was the first to voice his question.
But before Sun Kong could explain a little.
He heard Zhou Wuxian also express a few doubts.
However, because his cultivation was a bit higher than Wu Zhiqi's, the targets he discovered were not just the three stars, but also Guanyin Bodhisattva and her two companions!
"Master, the average cultivation of these three stars is only at the peak of Heavenly Immortal, not worth mentioning."
"However, those three Great Bodhisattvas are not simple."
"They clearly arrived earlier than us, but for some reason, they seem to have left in advance, gone to the South Sea, and insisted on waiting for you to seek help later. Such a trio, we cannot afford to be careless."
Indeed, compared to Wu Zhiqi's strong limbs but simple mind, among Sun Kong's three sworn brothers, the third brother Zhou Wuxian had higher emotional intelligence.
As expected of the Tong Bi Yuan Hou, known in the Blue Star timeline, Zhou Wuxian could instantly guess that the three Great Bodhisattvas definitely had ulterior motives.
Therefore.
As soon as he said this, Sun Kong had to take it seriously. Before they officially arrived at Wuzhuang Guan, he took a short break to discuss with the two of them in secret.
What to discuss?
Naturally, it was how to deal with the matters concerning the three Great Bodhisattvas from Spirit Mountain and the three stars from Heaven.
"Second brother, third brother, do not be overly agitated, nor blame your Master Brother for not giving you a chance to speak."
"In fact, I already knew what you saw. The reason I didn't say much wasn't because I was a coward, or to avoid provoking powerful enemies, but because it was unnecessary."
"Let's not talk about other things. Think about it, since the battles in the second and eighth tribulations, how many people above Quasi-Saint have dared to attack us?"
"Therefore, to say that I am afraid of these guys is absolutely impossible."
"And what I truly intend is not anything else, but to let them fly by themselves for a while. Anyway, they can't change the final outcome, and they wouldn't dare to truly fight me. What is there to worry about?"
When Sun Kong said this, it was like clouds scattering and fog clearing, instantly calming down Wu Zhiqi and Zhou Wuxian, who were so agitated they almost attacked.
Afterward.
To ensure that these two most trusted brothers would fully cooperate with him and not make any mistakes, Sun Kong simply revealed the part of his thoughts that he had originally intended to keep to himself.
"You guys don't think that the Jade Emperor chose those three stars to fight, do you? The strength of these three stars is inferior even to yours. It's obvious that the Jade Emperor still doesn't dare to be too reckless."
"They are purely here to seek some merit rewards."
"Otherwise, he could have cooperated with the Grandmaster of Heaven and sent Zhao Gongming, Wen Zhong, Jin Ling Sheng Mu, the Three Immortals of San Xiao, and other elites of the Jie Sect."
"Why would he only send three stars who are famous but lack actual power?"
"As for the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, their performance in the seventeenth tribulation was extremely disgraceful, almost negating the previous performance of Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha in Yellow Wind Ridge. I imagine that with Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha's intelligence, he wouldn't dare to let the three Great Bodhisattvas engage in armed combat."
"The reason Guanyin was sent is because she was already involved in the nineteenth tribulation, and having Manjushri and Samantabhadra assist was precisely to prevent us from acting too harshly and killing Guanyin."
"I even vaguely suspect that Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha is becoming increasingly impatient with the Four Great Bodhisattvas. Perhaps, taking this opportunity to eliminate them and purify Spirit Mountain would be better than being continuously tricked by others in the future?"
Sun Kong is truly Sun Kong.
His analysis was not only accurate and to the point, but it also completely convinced Wu Zhiqi and Zhou Wuxian, leaving them with no objections.
In summary, it was one sentence.
I, Old Sun, have my own brilliant plan.
No one can escape!
At the same time, the system chimed with a long-lost prompt.
However, since the rewards given now were not worth mentioning, only a bit of awe, Sun Kong was not interested in opening the system to check.
He then called out to his two younger brothers, Wu Zhiqi and Zhou Wuxian, whose eyes were shining with admiration, and continued on their way.
Continuing the Journey to the West tribulation game!
"I have to admit, our Brother Sun is truly amazing. Many clues, once sensed by him, have no concealment. Third brother, we must listen to Big Brother more in the future."
Seeing Sun Kong leading the way, Wu Zhiqi said with great emotion.
"Yes, second brother, what you said is also right. Our Big Brother Sun is no longer the reckless fool of five hundred years ago who only knew how to court death and conquer with force. He now possesses the cunning and wisdom that only a sage has. With such a Big Brother, our loyalty will never change for ten thousand years!"
Zhou Wuxian also echoed similar sentiments, but to prevent others outside their brotherhood from knowing too much, he and Wu Zhiqi lowered their voices and then followed suit!
...
Another month passed.
The last million miles of journey were also completed.
At this time, Sun Kong and his group arrived less than a hundred miles away from Wuzhuang Guan. According to the original arrangement in the Heavenly Days, someone should have come out from Wuzhuang Guan to greet them.
And at this moment.
Sun Kong took out the "Marquis Wu's Seven Stars Array" in advance and calculated. He roughly understood that after Qing Feng and Ming Yue left, Zhen Yuanzi was still quite cooperative, and had arranged for Taoist Qing Quan and Taoist Song Jian to receive them.
Details were unnecessary.
After their last cooperation in resisting the demon race's attack, Sun Kong knew very well that although Zhen Yuanzi was neutral, his inclination towards their side was still quite obvious.
Therefore, he didn't worry about any difficult problems from the Wuzhuang Guan lineage and Zhen Yuanzi.
So, he happily arrived at the gate, before he could even knock.
As expected.
He saw that Taoist Qing Quan and Taoist Song Jian, who had been deliberately left behind by Zhen Yuanzi, were, as expected, waiting at the gate for a long time.
Upon seeing Jin Chanzi riding the White Dragon Horse transformed by Nezha, with the Six Ding and Six Jia secretly guarding him in the void.
At the forefront, Sun Kong, riding the Chaos Dou Zhun Cloud, was majestic and imposing, exuding an aura of inviolability.
Beside Jin Chanzi were Wu Zhiqi, playing the role of Zhu Bajie, and Zhou Wuxian, playing the role of Sha Wujing.
Although Taoist Qing Quan and Taoist Song Jian had never met Sun Kong and his group before, at this moment, their bodies and souls were all shaken by the imposing aura and confidence of Sun Kong and his disciples.
Without daring to waste any more words.
They immediately stepped out respectfully to greet them!
"Are the ones arriving the esteemed monk from the Great Tang Empire in the East, Master Jin Chanzi?"
"Oh, and Great Sage Sun, and his two junior brothers?"
"We have heard much of your reputation!"
"We are two disciples of the Wuzhuang Guan lineage, under Immortal Zhen Yuanzi. We have been waiting here for a long time. Please, esteemed guests, enter quickly."
As they spoke, Taoist Qing Quan and Taoist Song Jian recalled the upcoming reception procedures.
And the merit rewards that would eventually be allocated to them.
They couldn't help but laugh to their heart's content!
