Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 752 - 753 Chapter Panic of the Wing Tribe (First Update!)

The Three-Star Manifestations exchanged a glance and simultaneously knelt in worship to Sun Wukong, who did not stop them. He let them finish their grand salutation before helping them to their feet. "Alright, there’s no need for such grand ceremonies in the future. Our Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court is different from the Human Heavenly Court— we don’t have so many rules!"

Leaving three thousand soldiers under the command of the Three-Star Manifestations to attack Penglai Fairy Island, Sun Wukong, along with Luo Bai and Guanyin, lifted into the clouds with the remaining seven thousand troops and flew towards the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court.

"Boss, why leave behind three thousand soldiers? Those Three-Star Manifestations aren’t fit for military command!"

On their way, Luo Bai was visibly confused as he looked at Sun Wukong, hesitating to speak, but eventually he could not hold back and asked.

"Luo Bai, the Great Sage has another plan in mind!"

Sun Wukong smiled without saying a word, while Guanyin’s lips curled up, hinting her understanding.

"What plan?"

Luo Bai, puzzled, saw that Sun Wukong and Guanyin both kept a shallow smile without speaking, and he couldn’t help but grow impatient, "Stop beating around the bush and just tell me!"

"It’s nominally about delegating authority, but actually about supervision!"

Guanyin said with a smile, "Luo Bai, you said it yourself—those Three-Star Manifestations aren’t really leadership material. The Great Sage left those three thousand troops behind not just to maintain control over Penglai Fairy Island."

"Then why not just relocate Penglai Fairy Island to the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court?"

Luo Bai frowned.

Sun Wukong smiled, "Luo Bai, moving the Dragon Veins is not that simple. Although I, Old Sun, have moved several earth veins before, including the Wanshou Mountain Dragon Vein, it was all a coincidence, and the Wanshou Mountain Dragon Vein had the permission of Elder Brother Zhen Yuanzi. Otherwise, how could it have been so easily successful? Penglai Fairy Island sits atop the Eastern Sea, with the Underground Dragon Vein spanning half the sea. Rashly relocating it would definitely stir up the Eastern Sea and significantly damage the integrity of the Dragon Vein. Even if it were successfully relocated to the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, it wouldn’t be of much use then!"

"I see! So, boss, you had those three thousand soldiers stationed at Penglai Fairy Island so that no one would dare meddle with it!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Luo Bai finally understood and nodded suddenly.

"Exactly! But that’s just one of the reasons!"

Sun Wukong continued, "Although the Human Heavenly Court is decadent, it still has some praiseworthy aspects. The residences of those immortals span across various Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands throughout the Three Realms. Even though they usually are disobedient, they virtually act as the Human Heavenly Court’s informants, which is why they can manage such detailed understanding of events happening across the realms. By stationing those three thousand soldiers on Penglai Fairy Island, I am emulating the Human Heavenly Court, and we are also constructing a Teleportation Array on the island. This way, if any emergencies arise, help can be sought instantly through the Teleportation Array between Penglai Fairy Island and the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court."

The concept of a Teleportation Array has existed since ancient times, but after the Witch-Demon War, the individuals willing to invest time to research them gradually decreased, and they became rarer and rarer in the Three Realms.

Sun Wukong had previously not paid much attention to it, because his speed was unmatched in the world. If he wished, he could reach any part of the Three Realms in an instant, without the need for Teleportation Arrays.

But now that the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court had been established, things could no longer be as they were before. The other members of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court did not have the flying speed of Sun Wukong and even persons like the Puti Patriarch were far slower than Sun Wukong, making the Teleportation Array seem very necessary.

Among the 3,000 soldiers left by Sun Wukong, there was a group of experts from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe, skilled in Arrays, who were responsible for constructing the Teleportation Array on Penglai Fairy Island.

Actually, the Three-Star only needed a mansion, and these soldiers would not bother them on a daily basis, practicing their cultivation exercises. They just needed to watch them symbolically. The vast Penglai Fairy Island would not seem crowded even with an additional 3,000 people and would greatly increase security. The Three-Star were well aware of this and of course would not refuse.

When the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court conquered Penglai Fairy Island, annihilating the entire Hidden Clan including their emperor, not a single survivor was left, not even the Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint. The news spread across the Three Realms and all the powers witnessed the iron-blooded ruthlessness of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. Especially those races that had not taken the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court seriously before were now truly intimidated, hastily withdrawing all their spies from the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, fearing they might provoke the wrath of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court and become the next Hidden Clan.

The most afraid among them was the Wing Tribe, who, aside from the Hidden Clan, had been the most blatant in sending people to test the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court.

Although Sun Wukong had killed all the emissaries sent by the Wing Tribe, the Wing Tribe had not taken it to heart at the time. After all, it was the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court—their prowess was not surprising. Besides, the emissaries they sent weren’t very powerful, so their deaths were normal!

But now it was different. The Hidden Clan had been directly exterminated by the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, and even the emperor, with the Cultivation of Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint, could not escape and met with complete destruction. The dominance of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court and the ruthless might of Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong were unmistakably revealed, which naturally made the Wing Tribe nervous.

To say they were disrespectful to the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, they and the Hidden Clan could be considered equally culpable. Sun Wukong, under the pretext of avenging the Three-Star by attacking Penglai Fairy Island, had annihilated the Hidden Clan. It was not guaranteed that he wouldn’t find other excuses to attack the Wing Tribe!

This Yingzhou Immortal Island was also seized by the Wing Tribe. If Sun Wukong really wanted to find an excuse, he could find one easily!

For a time, the entire Wing Tribe was in a state of panic, the whole hierarchy in turmoil, even the emperor of the Wing Tribe lived in constant anxiety, fearing an attack from the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court.

On reflection, the Wing Emperor felt that they could not just sit and wait for death; they had to figure out a way!

They had already seriously offended the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, and now, even if they were to brazenly seek a reconciliation, the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court might ignore it. The Wing Emperor felt it was imperative to find a powerful ally to ensure the safety of the Wing Tribe.

Which power should they rely on?

Among the returned Myriad Races, the strength of the Wing Tribe was quite strong, other races even if stronger than the Wing Tribe were only slightly stronger. Considering the strength revealed by the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court in this battle, probably no race among the Myriad Races could match it!

If the returned Myriad Races were not an option, then the only choice was to seek the shelter of the original powers of the Three Realms!

Over these days, the Wing Tribe had been continuously gathering intelligence about the Three Realms and knew that there were three major powers: Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, Human Heavenly Court, and the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect.

Before, when Penglai Fairy Island was seized by the Hidden Clan, the Three-Star had gone to the Human Heavenly Court to request the Jade Emperor to dispatch troops to conquer the Hidden Clan, but the Jade Emperor had ignored them. He was either too timid or indifferent to the lives of his subordinates; in any case, the Human Heavenly Court was not a good choice.

That left only the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect!
