Patriarch Bodhi was suddenly attacked, sent flying, and left coughing up blood. When he saw that his attacker was a monkey identical to Sun Wukong, he was utterly stunned!
Two Stone Monkeys!!!
Impossible!
How could there be two Stone Monkeys in the Three Realms?
And this Stone Monkey who had attacked him was older, more mature!
After sensing the Stone Monkey's aura, Patriarch Bodhi was dumbfounded. This Stone Monkey's cultivation was actually equal to his own—both were at Quasi-Saint Great Perfection! No wonder he had been injured in a single blow.
Could he be the senior member of the monkey clan who had taught that monkey cultivation techniques?
"Fellow Daoist, we bear no grudge against each other. Why did you attack me? Was it because of that monkey?" Patriarch Bodhi cautiously probed.
"Hmph! You thieving Daoist, you attacked a junior of my monkey clan. How could I forgive you? Take this!"
Great Sage Sun rebuked him without courtesy, raised the Golden-Bound Cudgel, and pursued Patriarch Bodhi.
"Fellow Daoist, it is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Seeing his exceptional talent, I merely wanted to take him as my disciple. I never expected him to disdain the Dao techniques I wished to teach him, so I flew into a rage from humiliation and knocked him unconscious."
Patriarch Bodhi was already severely wounded. Seeing this monkey claiming to be an elder of the monkey clan continuing to attack, he had no mind to verify whether it was true and hastily tried to argue his way out of it.
"Knocked unconscious? You clearly wanted to steal his cultivation techniques and Soul Search him! Do you take my eyes for blind? Don't you know prying into another person's cultivation techniques is a grave taboo? Die!"
Great Sage Sun leaped up and swung the Golden-Bound Cudgel
