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

#878 - Zhen Yuanzi: From today on, I will fight to the death with Xitian

At this moment, inside the Wuzhuang Temple,

Zhen Yuanzi was troubled, wondering who had attacked him. Just then, Qing Feng beside him suddenly cried out in surprise,

"That's right, it must be him!"

Everyone present was startled by Qing Feng's sudden outburst,

not knowing what was wrong with him.

Zhen Yuanzi widened his eyes, stared at Qing Feng, and asked urgently:

"What did you think of? Tell me quickly!"

Qing Feng swallowed, but said intermittently:

"Emperor Gouchen bestowed upon us two ginseng fruits yesterday. Mingyue and I immediately broke through our cultivation bottlenecks and excused ourselves."

"Last night, I was breaking through my cultivation when I suddenly felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep."

Zhen Yuanzi looked doubtful,

"You can fall asleep while breaking through your cultivation? Wait, could it be a spell!"

Even a fool wouldn't believe that they could really fall asleep while breaking through, and both of them at the same time. Someone must have tampered with them!

"And then what!" Zhen Yuanzi pressed.

Qing Feng was a little scared, but still mustered his courage to recall:

"While I was breaking through, I suddenly woke up from a dream and saw five-colored divine light of green, yellow, red, black, and white flashing in the direction of the ginseng fruit garden, disappearing in the blink of an eye."

"Then I saw a black shadow leaving in a hurry, disappearing without a trace."

"Then I felt something was wrong, crushed the talisman, but couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep…"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi's face turned pale in an instant, and he couldn't even stand still, involuntarily taking a few steps back.

Zhen Yuanzi's voice trembled with anger as he muttered through gritted teeth,

Meticulous reasoning? He just asked Qing Feng to tell the truth.

In short, Chu Hao once again used his powerful reasoning ability, although it may also be because he did witness the five-colored divine light last night.

But in any case, Chu Hao painstakingly helped Zhen Yuanzi find the real culprit!

However, Chu Hao sighed at this moment,

"So, now that you know the truth, what will you do?"

Chu Hao's words plunged Zhen Yuanzi into silence.

Yes, what could he do now that he knew?

The current Zhen Yuanzi was no longer the supreme power he once was. Now, he was just a mid-level quasi-sage whose cultivation was not even as good as his chief disciple's.

It must be said that this kind of gap caused a small change in Zhen Yuanzi's mentality.

Zhen Yuanzi didn't even dare to say the word 'revenge'!

Just now, he had sworn to find the mastermind behind the scenes and tear him to pieces.

Now that he knew the truth, he could only rage in vain.

Zhen Yuanzi was unwilling, but he could only clench his fists, grit his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged!

Chu Hao, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi had not uttered a word about revenge, couldn't help but despise him inwardly,

Coward.

【How can the righteous me sit idly by?! The cowardly shall not have peace. Mess with Zhen Yuanzi's mentality!】

【Task: Encourage Zhen Yuanzi to stand up and take revenge on the Western Heaven!】

【Reward: 100,000 merits, a chance to painlessly advance to the second-rank quasi-sage】

Chu Hao's eyes lit up instantly,

Huh?!

Painless advancement? I'm not sleepy when you mention that!

Chu Hao had been stuck in the bottleneck of the first-rank quasi-sage for several days.

Such a long period of cultivation had made Chu Hao very tired.

But this time, the system took the initiative to help him painlessly advance. This was definitely worth it!

Take revenge on the Western Heaven and advance at the same time. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Without saying a word, Chu Hao patted Zhen Yuanzi on the shoulder.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was immersed in grief and rage, was startled.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Hao's eyes were serious and solemn, like a teacher who was good at patiently teaching and guiding.

"Zhen Yuanzi, you and I can be considered friends. You have to stand up!"

"Debts of injustice have their owners, and blood debts must be paid in blood! Whoever pushed down the ginseng fruit tree, you should pull out their roots!"

Zhen Yuanzi's face was full of grief and indignation, with extreme unwillingness in his rage.

"I want to, but I am no longer the supreme power I once was!"

"The Peacock King is also a supreme power. I cannot compete with him now!"

"Moreover, because of the fracture of the ginseng fruit tree, my cultivation is still regressing. If I cannot revive the ginseng fruit tree within six days, I will be in even more trouble!"

"Now I am a fish on the chopping board, what should I do to take revenge?"

Zhen Yuanzi's words were full of unwillingness and grief.

Chu Hao shook his head when he heard this.

"You're wrong, you're wrong. Do you think that only the Peacock King is attacking you? Think carefully?"

"The Peacock King has no grievances or hatred with you. Why would he target you? He himself could not have asked the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning to lure you away from the mountain?"

"You have been avoiding it. The bloody reality that you dare not face is—"

"The one who really wants to break your ginseng fruit tree is not just the Peacock King, but the entire plot of the Western Heaven!"

Zhen Yuanzi lowered his head, a trace of bitterness flashing in his eyes.

Chu Hao's words were like a sharp blade, directly stabbing into Zhen Yuanzi's heart.

Zhen Yuanzi felt even more grief in his heart. He couldn't even take revenge on the Peacock King, let alone the incomparably powerful Western Heaven!

Chu Hao sneered when he saw that Zhen Yuanzi was not speaking.

"You have to know that the more you endure, the angrier you get, and the more you step back, the more you lose. A good person will only end up dying miserably. Isn't that how your good friend Hong Yun died?"

"If you take one step back, the Western Heaven will forever ride on your head, making it impossible for you to turn over for eternity!"

"Are you at ease with this? Do you want to become the second Hong Yun?"

Zhen Yuanzi shed more tears when he heard the name of his dead old friend.

At this moment, he recalled his good-natured friend, whose kindness and concession led to his death.

Zhen Yuanzi was powerless and helpless at the time.

In fact, Zhen Yuanzi clearly remembered that at the moment of Hong Yun's death, his eyes were full of questioning,

questioning why he, who had been friendly all his life, would suffer such a disaster?

Could it be that good people really don't live long?

At this moment, wasn't Zhen Yuanzi facing the same question?

Concession, or a desperate fight?

To be useless for the rest of his life, being ridden on and defecated on by future generations?

Revenge, or surrender?

Countless thoughts lingered in Zhen Yuanzi's mind!

Finally, Zhen Yuanzi raised his head, his eyes scarlet and fierce!

"Western Heaven, I, Zhen Yuanzi, from today onwards, will never die with you!"
