Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 896 - 897: Citywide Manhunt (First Update!)

"This won’t do. I can’t keep entangled with Yuan Long like this. If it continues, there’ll be no end in sight!"

Right Envoy Kun Du felt a sense of urgency, glanced at Sun Wukong in the distance; his goal was to eliminate Sun Wukong, not to be caught up with Divine General Yuan Long!

At that moment, the Black Gold Great Sword in Right Envoy Kun Du’s hand suddenly shone brightly. With a sudden slash, countless Sword Lights bloomed, striking towards Divine General Yuan Long.

"Is this guy going all out?"

Divine General Yuan Long was shocked and rapidly retreated, only to find that these seemingly powerful Sword Lights were merely bluffs, turning to nothing upon contact.

"This is a false move!"

Divine General Yuan Long instantly realized, sinking in his heart, and pushed off the void with his toes to quickly pursue, but was still a step late; Sun Wukong was already caught by Right Envoy Kun Du at the throat.

"Damn it, let him go!"

"Stand back! Take another step and I’ll kill him!"

Divine General Yuan Long stopped several yards away. With Sun Wukong in Right Envoy Kun Du’s hand, even a slight force would mean Sun Wukong’s death, leaving no time for a rescue. Yuan Long hesitated to take any reckless action.

"Kun Du, what exactly do you want?"

Divine General Yuan Long shouted fiercely, clutching the iron rod tightly but dared not to swing it out.

"What do I want? I’ve made it clear long ago; this kid caused havoc in Heavenly Demon City and injured the Heavenly Prince. His crimes are beyond redemption!"

Right Envoy Kun Du had a murderous look in his eyes as he coldly stared at Sun Wukong, "Demon Monkey, today is your death day; no one can save you!"

"Hehe, really?"

Unexpectedly to Right Envoy Kun Du and Divine General Yuan Long, Sun Wukong’s face showed not the slightest fear but a playful smile, "You’ve chased me all this way and performed such a fine act of fighting; really appreciate it! But I have other matters, so forgive me for not accompanying, farewell, farewell, hehe!"

Before finishing his words, Sun Wukong’s entire form transformed into a plume of blue smoke, and a trace of Essence Qi swiftly broke away and vanished in an instant.

"What?" novelbuddy.cσ๓

Right Envoy Kun Du was shocked inside; he had locked down the space for a mile around, how could Sun Wukong escape so easily?

No, that’s not his true body! It’s just a clone!

All along, he was chasing Sun Wukong’s clone; where did the real Sun Wukong go?

"Haha, hahahaha!"

Divine General Yuan Long laughed aloud, "Kun Du, you really are getting worse with age, chasing a clone for so long, claiming no one can save him! Ridiculous, truly ridiculous! Even if I didn’t come, you wouldn’t be able to do anything to Sun Wukong, being fooled around like this, how embarrassing, haha!"

Right Envoy Kun Du’s face darkened to the point of dripping water, veins pulsating on his forehead; he, a Domain Emperor Realm powerhouse, Right Divine Envoy of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, was played like this by a Demon Monkey of only Domain Soldier Realm, losing face severely before his old rival Divine General Yuan Long, utterly infuriating!

"Yuan Long, we’ll settle our grudge in the future! Don’t get too complacent!"

Hatefully leaving a word, Right Envoy Kun Du soared into the sky, flying towards Heavenly Demon City. Suddenly, a bad premonition surged in his heart; Sun Wukong used a clone to lead him away, surely with an ulterior motive, must hurry back to check!

Divine General Yuan Long watched the retreating back of Right Envoy Kun Du, his smile abruptly faded, murmuring to himself, "The Ape Emperor’s insight is indeed accurate, Sun Wukong truly is talented! Even I didn’t see it was a clone, truly skillful! But with the clone here, where did his true body go? Could he still be in Heavenly Demon City?"

The more he thought, the more likely it seemed. Divine General Yuan Long couldn’t sit still, his form moved, rising to fly towards Heavenly Demon City; the Battle God Monkey Emperor instructed him to ensure Sun Wukong’s safety, bringing him back to Battle God Mountain safely. If Sun Wukong encounters trouble in Heavenly Demon City, he won’t be able to face the Ape Emperor!

Heavenly Demon City, Heavenly Demon Mansion.

"Damn Demon Monkey, I’ll definitely shred you into pieces!"

A voice of anguished fury echoed from the depths of the mansion, Right Envoy Kun Du stood before the secret chamber with an iron-hard face; the hidden compartment had been opened, the Longevity Essence inside long gone. It was obvious that only Sun Wukong would dare steal this treasure from his private chamber!

Moreover, nearly the entire Heavenly Demon Mansion had been ransacked; anything of value was stolen, not leaving a single thing, as if locusts had swept through!

"Longevity Essence is extraordinary, without the intertwining protection of life and death Qi, it can’t be preserved. If that Demon Monkey took it away, it’s probably rendered useless by now! Damn it!"

The more Kun Du thought, the angrier he became; this Longevity Essence was granted by the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor, intended for boosting his cultivation to Domain Emperor peak and breaking into Domain Saint. Now it’s stolen by Sun Wukong, like a knife stabbed into his heart!

If Sun Wukong appeared before Right Envoy Kun Du now, he might want to tear him apart!

"Wait, if he found the Longevity Essence, he should know something about it, wouldn’t just waste it away taking it."

Thinking again, Right Envoy Kun Du’s pupils suddenly contracted, "Maybe the kid consumed it directly and is somewhere refining and absorbing it now!"

Kun Du understood the quantity of Primordial Qi contained in Longevity Essence, knowing Sun Wukong’s current cultivation couldn’t fully absorb it; ingesting all would lead to his body exploding. But swallowing three parts of it might be bearable, given his displayed strength.

If Sun Wukong truly consumed three parts of Longevity Essence, he would need a place to refine and absorb for breakthrough; the breakthrough caused by Longevity Essence surely won’t be subtle!

"Sun Wukong, you wait for me, once I pull you out, will slice you into pieces and devour your flesh, ensuring you never reincarnate!"

The Heavenly Prince, severely injured by Sun Wukong, was healing behind closed doors; Right Envoy Kun Du promptly issued a decree, quickly spreading throughout Heavenly Demon City.

"Demon Monkey Sun Wukong, insolently wreaking havoc in Heavenly Demon City, killing and injuring, stealing treasures, is a villain undeserving of leniency, now wanted throughout the city. Anyone who finds and confirms his whereabouts will be rewarded with a Low Grade Heavenly Technique and allowed to join the Heavenly Demon Guard!"
