Chapter 543 Asking Sun Wukong for Help
It would be fine if it was just to get involved with the ghost messenger's soul.
But the guy behind the scenes is acting like this, I'm afraid he has some big plans.
After listening to the story of the King of Fengdu, King Yama could not help but sigh:
"It's a pity that we don't have any more clues besides this."
"This spell seems strange. I really don't know who cast it."
"Otherwise, if we arrest them quickly, we can prevent such tragedies from happening again."
Because of this, this news must never be leaked.
The Emperor of Fengdu was well aware of the pros and cons of this matter, and quickly issued a gag order to those present.
If this matter were to spread, it would not only be detrimental to the stability of the entire underworld, but it might even bring about more trouble.
Fortunately, both King Yama and the other ghost officials present were well aware of the pros and cons of this matter.
They had no objection to the King of Fengdu's silencing.
After leaving this place, the Emperor of Fengdu soon met with the Queen Mother Pingxin.
This matter is of great importance, and we can only proceed to the next step after proper consultation with Empress Pingxin.
According to the King of Fengdu, this matter is very troublesome.
Who knows, the mastermind behind this is now closely monitoring the gods in the underworld.
Their every move was under the watchful eyes of the person behind them, so it was too passive for them to do anything.
They need a third party to break the deadlock.
"...Apart from Sun Wukong, I really can't think of anyone more suitable for this role."
The Emperor of Fengdu came to the palace of the Queen Mother Pingxin and expressed his opinion.
Empress Pingxin had no objection to what Emperor Fengdu said.
She said, "In that case, then you should go to Jin'ao Island in a high-profile manner and ask Sun Wukong to come to the underworld to help!"
Hearing the emphasis on the word "high-profile", the Emperor of Fengdu immediately understood his queen's plan.
"Empress Shengming."
After the King of Fengdu finished speaking, he quickly ordered his men to prepare the ceremonial procession and head to Sun Wukong's Taoist temple with great fanfare to invite him out of the mountain.
……
Jin'ao Island.
The Turtle Spirit Mother was a little surprised when she heard that the King of Fengdu had come with a grand ceremony to seek help.
What major event had occurred in the underworld that caused the Emperor of Fengdu to come to Jin'ao Island in such a high-profile manner?
Although she had doubts in her heart, the Turtle Spirit Mother still went to greet them together with the Queen Mother of the West, the Bull Demon King and others.
"I wonder why the King of Fengdu came to my Jin'ao Island?" The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother did not bother to be polite and went straight to the point.
The King of Fengdu was a little surprised by the direct question of what the other party's purpose was in coming here.
He originally thought that he would exchange pleasantries with the other party, chat about family matters, and then take the opportunity to ask Sun Wukong to come to the underworld for help.
It’s a pity that we get straight to the point without any preparation.
However, now that it has come to this.
Then it would be fine for him to speak frankly.
The Emperor of Fengdu directly stated that there had been tremors of unknown cause in the underworld a while ago, and the frequency of these tremors has been increasing recently.
Now, he wants to ask Sun Wukong to come out of the mountain and help find out the reason.
"...Although it's not convenient for outsiders to interfere in the affairs of my underworld, the Great Sage once served in my underworld. Strictly speaking, the Great Sage can be considered one of us."
"May I ask, Great Sage, since you are now on Jin'ao Island, are you willing to accompany me to the underworld?"
The King of Fengdu was so respectful and sincere in his words that it was impossible to refuse.
The Turtle Spirit Mother was a little embarrassed.
If it were usual, she would be able to convey these words of the King of Fengdu directly to Sun Wukong.
It is even believed that given Sun Wukong's character, after hearing about this matter, he would agree to go to the underworld to help without saying a word.
But just a few days before the arrival of the King of Fengdu, the Turtle Spirit Mother received a message from Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong said that his cultivation had been damaged in the previous battle with the Jade Emperor, and he needed to go into seclusion recently to make up for the loss.
During the retreat, Sun Wukong was not seen by anyone.
Therefore, I am afraid I will have to trouble the Turtle Spirit Mother to handle the affairs of the church again during these days.
He also asked the Turtle Spirit Mother not to tell the Queen Mother of the West about this matter, and not to worry about him.
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother frowned slightly: "The Emperor is in serious condition. The Underworld is in trouble. How can we cultivators sit idly by and do nothing?"
"But my junior brother is currently in seclusion, and I don't know when he will be able to come out. I'm afraid..."
Unexpectedly, it was such an unfortunate coincidence that the King of Fengdu was at a loss for a moment.
"This... is really not a coincidence... This is a matter of my underworld and it cannot be delayed. It seems that there must be other ways to solve it." The Emperor of Fengdu sighed.
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother added, "If the Emperor doesn't mind, perhaps other disciples of the Jie Sect may allow me to accompany you back to the underworld and provide some support."
In her opinion, it was just a matter of finding out the reason for the shaking in the underworld, which was not difficult at all.
Even if Sun Wukong was not there, the other disciples on Jin'ao Island were more than capable of helping.
Looking at the serious expression of the Turtle Spirit Mother, the King of Fengdu didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, the vibrations in the underworld were real, but the frequency of the vibrations was not as exaggerated as he said.
Moreover, he asked Sun Wukong to go to the underworld for a real reason, and it was not to investigate the earthquake in the underworld.
If other disciples of the Jiejiao sect went to investigate, if the other party encountered danger, it would be difficult to explain to the Jin'ao Island.
The King of Fengdu asked Sun Wukong to take action for this reason.
After all, Sun Wukong's cultivation level is there.
Even if the process of investigating the missing wandering souls was dangerous, Sun Wukong would not be unable to escape.
Just as the King of Fengdu was hesitating about what excuse to use to politely reject the Turtle Spirit Mother, the Bull Demon King beside him also volunteered.
"That's right. Since we are investigating the truth behind the tremors in the underworld, it's no use for me, Old Niu, to go there. There's no need to disturb Master Uncle's cultivation."
"Now I, Old Ox, am almost able to enter the realm of Primordial Golden Immortal. Perhaps the opportunity lies in the underworld."
The Bull Demon King was not lying.
Since the number of outer disciples increased, Bull Demon King would occasionally go to the temple where the outer disciples were and exchange cultivation experiences with some new brothers he had met.
Maybe those outer disciples really have something to say.
Or perhaps it was because these outer disciples' understanding of the path of cultivation had not yet solidified.
They always have some novel ideas that the Bull Demon King has never considered.
Starting from many novel and interesting angles, it can inspire him with new inspiration.
At the same time, it also made his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.
However, advancing to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal still requires a little opportunity.
The Bull Demon King knew that it would not be easy to find opportunities if he continued to stay in Jin'ao Island.
Now the King of Fengdu has come to your door.
Who knows, maybe a trip to the underworld will give him some opportunities!
Facing the Bull Demon King's scorching gaze, the King of Fengdu, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, sighed softly:
"It's not that I'm ungrateful, but this is an internal matter of our underworld, and it's inconvenient for outsiders to interfere."
"Since the Great Sage is not here, I'd better think of other ways! Goodbye!"
