761: Chapter 265 Chang’an’s Death_3 761: Chapter 265 Chang’an’s Death_3 Yan Chixia felt an icy chill all over, never expecting his highly regarded disciple to actually collude with a demon fiend.
Looking at them, their relationship seemed to be surprisingly good.
With a heart full of pain and rapid breaths, Yan Chixia looked at Li Chang’an and said with anguish, “Chang’an, you’ve greatly disappointed your master, to actually conspire with demons.
Even if I were to die today, I must clean house, lest you bring calamity upon the Mortal World.”
Li Chang’an: “…”
Seeing that Yan Chixia was serious about making a move, Li Chang’an quickly said, “Master, you’ve misunderstood, he’s not a demon fiend; this is the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, my life-saving benefactor.”
“What Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong…”
Yan Chixia’s eyes suddenly bulged at that point.
“What?
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong?”
His eyeballs almost popped out as he stared at Sun Wukong and Nu Ba.
Recalling the opponent’s casual demeanor in breaking through his own attack just now.
And the performance of his own disciple a moment ago, it dawned on Yan Chixia that he might have possibly made a mistake.
The one he took for a demon fiend was actually the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong.
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven was certainly not a demon fiend.
Yan Chixia’s big beard trembled even more fiercely.
The one he had fought and labeled a demon fiend turned out to be the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
Even though he had recently advanced to the realm of a Heavenly Venerate, for him, the Great Sage was still a legendary figure.
Recently within the Three Realms, the power of immortals and Buddhas had exploded like a geyser; although Heavenly Venerates couldn’t be said to be everywhere, they certainly weren’t extraordinarily rare either.
But, the Great Heavenly Venerate remained one of the top powerhouses between heaven and earth.
“Actually, you’re not wrong.
Old Sun is indeed not human; I am a demon, and moreover, the greatest demon in the world today,” Sun Wukong said with a smile that made Yan Chixia chuckle in spite of himself.
Quickly regaining his composure, Yan Chixia said formally, “Yan Chixia has misunderstood the Great Sage, please forgive me.”
He looked serious but showed no signs of embarrassment.
A misunderstanding was a misunderstanding; an apology from him should suffice.
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven had a reputation, but he was certainly not unreasonable.
Now that he had wronged the Great Sage, it was proper for him to apologize.
As expected, Sun Wukong simply smiled lightly and said, “Knowing your mistake is enough, Old Sun won’t make things difficult for you.
If you wish to slay demons and eliminate fiends, Old Sun can give you a piece of advice, go serve under the Great Emperor Ziwei in the Heavenly Court, there you’ll have more chances to fight against demons, and it’ll be less likely for you to be harmed by them.”
Li Chang’an felt his heart stir and glanced at his master.
However, Yan Chixia shook his head, firmly refusing, “Thank you for your kindness, Great Sage, but this junior is accustomed to being a Loose Cultivator, not keen on entering the courts, and I could not bear their rules; I’d rather enjoy the freedom of being a Loose Cultivator.”
With that, he smiled confidently, “With my current strength, as long as I’m careful, I should not be easily harmed by any demon fiend.”
Seeing his self-assured demeanor, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but remind him, “Master, you’re so careless, mistaking even the Great Sage for a demon fiend, and failing to recognize even the Human Race’s Princess, Nu Ba.
Are you sure being careful alone is enough?”
Suddenly, Yan Chixia’s face turned bright red.
He glared at Li Chang’an and scolded, “Nonsense, you needn’t meddle in your master’s affairs.”
Li Chang’an pursed his lips but stopped himself from saying more.
His master did care a lot about face.
If he embarrassed him, he might end up being taught a lesson.
Li Chang’an, on the other hand, wanted to go to the Heavenly Court.
He knew how insignificant individual power was, and by joining the court, he would have more companions to fight alongside him.
That way, he could make full use of his abilities.
With this in mind, Li Chang’an said to Yan Chixia, “Master, your disciple wishes to join the Heavenly Court and become one of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to slay demons and eliminate fiends for the beings of the Three Realms.”
Yan Chixia looked at his disciple, feeling a bit reluctant, but mostly proud.
He had not misjudged this disciple; he had not let him down.
With this thought, Yan Chixia said, “Good, then go.
Your master won’t stop you; just be careful about your safety.”
Li Chang’an immediately became excited; he had long desired to go to the Heavenly Court, but Yan Chixia was not keen on it.
He had become disillusioned with secular imperial courts in the Mortal World.
As far as Yan Chixia was concerned, the so-called Heavenly Court was probably not much different from secular courts.
Otherwise, he would have joined the Heavenly Court long ago.
“Thank you, master,” Li Chang’an said, overcome with excitement.
As long as his master consented, joining the Heavenly Court wouldn’t be difficult for him.
With his fame and strength, he could become a general upon entering the Heavenly Court.
“We’ll meet again in the heavens, Li Chang’an.
Old Sun has high expectations of you, and I hope you’ll become an important military general in the Heavenly Court in the future,” Sun Wukong said with a smile.
Li Chang’an nodded vigorously, excitedly saying, “Great Sage, rest assured, I will not disappoint you.”
“Farewell.”
Sun Wukong pulled Nu Ba along and disappeared.
Yan Chixia looked on enviously and couldn’t help but sigh, “Now that’s what you call a true Immortal, completely carefree and unbound by anything in the world, unlike us, who seem free but must always be careful, facing the danger of falling at any moment.”
With that, Yan Chixia began to sing,
“People all say how good it is to be immortal, yet they don’t know that when great calamity strikes, immortals cannot flee; millenniums of cultivation lost in an instant, soul scattered and completely obliterated.”
Li Chang’an looked speechless as he watched his master, unable to refrain from complaining, “Master, I’m about to head to the Heavenly Court to become one of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; can you not say something more auspicious?
Why do I feel like you’re sending me off to another world?”
