Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2034 - Emperor Qinghua of the East

That ray of light seemed to carry infinite power, simultaneously blocking Zhu Bajie's fatal blow to Nine Spirits Yuansheng and creating a rebounding effect.

Zhu Bajie was about to finish off Nine Spirits Yuansheng, so the attack he launched was with all his strength, but he didn't expect it to be blocked.

The enormous rebounding force was also considerable, and Zhu Bajie was caught off guard, under the effect of this tremendous force.

The Nine-tooth Rake in his hand was directly knocked away, and his whole body was impacted by the huge force, staggering backward.

"Who is it that dares to plot against your Grandpa Pig?"

Zhu Bajie got up and looked into the sky, but didn't find anything.

Seeing Zhu Bajie's attack blocked and him sent flying, Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, and Sha Seng were also very surprised.

"Who exactly saved Nine Spirits Yuansheng?"

Sha Seng said, looking at the sky with doubt, but at this time, nothing could still be seen in the sky.

"Could it be that this Nine Spirits Yuansheng has a powerful helper?"

Tang Sanzang also looked at the sky with some doubt.

"Bajie has unleashed the Heart of the God of War, and his strength is extraordinary. The opponent hasn't even shown himself, yet he was able to send Bajie flying with just a divine ability. This person's strength is too great."

Sun Wukong's expression couldn't help but become a little more serious.

Regardless of who the opponent was, he had saved Nine Spirits Yuansheng, and yet he was unwilling to show himself, which meant he was definitely an enemy, not a friend.

If there was an enemy that even Zhu Bajie, who had unleashed the Heart of the God of War, could hardly withstand, it would be an extremely bad thing.

Compared to Zhu Bajie's anger and the doubts of Tang Sanzang and the others, Nine Spirits Yuansheng was overjoyed.

"Thank you for saving me, Master."

Nine Spirits Yuansheng seemed to already know the other party's identity, and immediately shouted, and once again struggled to his feet.

"Nine Spirits Yuansheng's master!"

Through Nine Spirits Yuansheng's words, Tang Sanzang and the others couldn't help but be taken aback.

Nine Spirits Yuansheng's strength was comparable to Sun Wukong's. Although he hadn't reached the level of being equal to gods and Buddhas, there were not many demons with this level of strength.

Sun Wukong and the others had encountered a demon with strength comparable to Nine Spirits Yuansheng once before, which was when they encountered Golden Winged Peng in Lion Camel Ridge.

But who was Golden Winged Peng's master at that time? It was the Buddha of the Western Paradise.

Therefore, those who could command Nine Spirits Yuansheng, even if they weren't the Jade Emperor or the Buddha, were certainly top figures among the gods and Buddhas.

"Who is it that dares to scheme against your Grandpa Pig? Quickly come out and fight me face to face for three hundred rounds."

"Hiding your head and showing your tail is the act of a coward. Are you afraid to be seen?"

"If you don't come out again, I'll flatten this old mongrel."

After Zhu Bajie cursed for a while, seeing that the other party was still unwilling to show himself, he had no choice but to turn his spearhead back to Nine Spirits Yuansheng.

Since the other party wanted to save Nine Spirits Yuansheng, then he could only force the other party out in this way.

"You… what are you going to do!"

Although Nine Spirits Yuansheng had gotten up, his injuries were too severe, and he was no longer able to ride the clouds.

Seeing Zhu Bajie once again aim at him, cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

Nine Spirits Yuansheng didn't want to experience that moment of life-and-death despair a second time, and immediately struggled to move his four hooves, wanting to dodge.

Zhu Bajie swung the Nine-tooth Rake and struck towards Nine Spirits Yuansheng. Nine Spirits Yuansheng at this time didn't even have the strength to dodge.

"Old mongrel, today, no matter who protects you, I will take your life."

Zhu Bajie swung the Nine-tooth Rake and struck again.

"Master, save me!"

Nine Spirits Yuansheng immediately shouted into the sky.

Although Sun Wukong and the others didn't know where the mysterious person was hiding, Nine Spirits Yuansheng knew. This wasn't to say that Nine Spirits Yuansheng was more powerful, but rather that he had a telepathic contract relationship with that master.

"Yuansheng, don't panic."

Just as Zhu Bajie's rake was about to strike Nine Spirits Yuansheng again, a voice rang out in the sky.

Then another stream of light blocked Zhu Bajie's offensive.

Then a figure had already appeared in the sky. Seeing this figure, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng were all shocked.

"The Great Emperor of Eastern Green Splendor?"

"How could it be him?"

"Nine Spirits Yuansheng's master is actually the Great Emperor of Green Splendor."

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng had all served in the Heavenly Court, and were very familiar with the gods of the Heavenly Court, from the Jade Emperor to the door gods.

If the one who had appeared this time was a big shot from the Buddhist realm, then they wouldn't have been surprised at all, because this matter was too ordinary. The entire Journey to the West tribulation was created by the Western Paradise.

But this Great Emperor of Eastern Green Splendor was different. His identity in the Heavenly Court was extraordinary.

The highest level of the Heavenly Court, besides the Jade Emperor, the chairman of the board, was the Three Purities and Four Imperials. The Four Imperials were also known as the Four Great Emperors, and the Great Emperor of Eastern Green Splendor was one of them.

It could be said that this Great Emperor of Green Splendor was a true high-level member of the Heavenly Court, whose position was only below the Four Imperials.

With such a position, his strength naturally didn't need to be said. The strength of this Great Emperor of Green Splendor was not much different from that of the chairman of the board of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, reaching the level of a seventh-order quasi-sage.

It was no wonder that he could send Zhu Bajie, who had reached the strength of a third-order quasi-sage, flying with just a divine ability.

It was no wonder that a powerful demon like Nine Spirits Yuansheng would recognize him as his master, providing him with servitude and service. All of this could be reasonably explained when the Great Emperor of Eastern Green Splendor appeared.

"Great Emperor of Green Splendor, you are a big shot in the Heavenly Court, how could you appear here?"

Zhu Bajie questioned the Great Emperor of Green Splendor.

"Tianpeng, you were once the Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly Court, don't you know etiquette? When you see this Great Emperor, not only do you not salute, but you also question me with such a tone. Don't you know that the Heavenly Rules are strict?"

From the fact that the Great Emperor of Green Splendor only saved Nine Spirits Yuansheng with a divine ability in a crisis, but was unwilling to show himself, some problems could be seen.

It seemed that the Great Emperor of Green Splendor was avoiding something, and now, facing Zhu Bajie's question, he didn't answer, but instead used the position of the Heavenly Court to suppress people.

"Bah, that Nine Spirits Yuansheng calls you master, and the relationship between you is naturally needless to say.

You, as a big shot in the Heavenly Court, actually condone those under your command to be demons in the mortal world. Doesn't this violate the Heavenly Rules and Heavenly Laws?

Shouldn't we inquire clearly? You are using your position to suppress people, what is the reason for this?

Don't say that Old Pig is no longer Marshal Tianpeng, even if I am still in office, I don't need to be polite to you."

Zhu Bajie was originally a resolute character, and now that he has unleashed the Heart of the God of War, he has added three points of strength out of thin air. Even if this Great Emperor of Green Splendor has a high position and strong strength, Zhu Bajie doesn't buy it.

"Bajie, retreat!"

At this time, Tang Sanzang suddenly shouted at Zhu Bajie.
