"Little Heavenly Immortal, do you know who you're talking to?"

Buddha's grand voice suddenly rang out.

"How could I not know?"

At this moment, Chen Tong spoke with great defiance.

This was unlike the past five hundred years he'd spent hiding in this river.

Now, he was completely invigorated.

"Isn't it just Buddha?"

Chen Tong's flippant tone reached Buddha's ears.

"You, you, you…"

Buddha uttered three 'you's in a row, completely taken aback that Chen Tong would speak like this.

Not only did he know his identity, but he was also provoking him.

"Me, me, me… What about me?"

"Stop talking up there, doesn't your back hurt? If you have something to say, say it to my face."

At this moment, Buddha sensed something was amiss.

However, because of that Monkey, he had no choice but to descend to the mortal realm himself.

Buddha's true form directly manifested.

The next moment, he appeared not far from Chen Tong.

"Young friend, can we discuss this? Sell me this monkey."

Buddha's face still held that benevolent expression.

Sun Wukong, behind Chen Tong, felt a knot of tension in his heart. If his benefactor succumbed to pressure, his fate would likely be controlled by these people.

At this moment, he felt an unspeakable fear.

But looking at his benefactor's steadfast back, he felt an inexplicable resolve; his benefactor would surely protect him.

However, Sun Wukong's tension was not unfounded.

If this situation had happened before he received his reward, Chen Tong, upon seeing this, would have kept his mouth shut to save his own skin.

But now, Chen Tong was completely unfazed.

"Not selling."

"The monkey isn't something you can just buy if you want to."

Buddha said coldly, "Young friend, my patience is limited."

Chen Tong waved his hand and said, "Limited or not, it has nothing to do with me."

"I'm making myself clear today: as long as I, Chen Tong, am here, no one will touch this Sun Wukong."

Sun Wukong felt a warmth surge through his heart. He and this benefactor had only met by chance. Yet, at this moment, his benefactor was protecting him so fiercely.

How could he not be moved? How could his blood not boil?

"Benefactor, I, Old Sun, will take responsibility for my actions. I absolutely cannot let you be put in a difficult position."

"Enough, stop talking. If you're so moved, write a 3,000-character summary and show it to me."

Chen Tong coughed, putting on an air of profound mystery.

Buddha flicked his sleeve and said, "That's not up to you."

"A mere Heavenly Immortal, yet so arrogant. Do you truly think you can act with impunity?"

"Do you need something?"

"I can't say I can act with impunity, but this area is indeed under my jurisdiction, Chen Tong."

Chen Tong said nonchalantly.

"Good, good, good."

"Today, I will see firsthand how this area is under your jurisdiction."

"What's going on? Hurry up and tell me, what's happening with this monkey now?"

"I'm so anxious."

"Quickly, everyone is waiting."

"Do you really treat me like livestock?"

Thousand-Mile Eye was miserable and utterly speechless.

"This Sun Wukong was rescued, and that Buddha is confronting him."

"Oh my god, that happened? Who is it, what's their name? They're quite the character!"

"Take a look at him, see what he looks like. Observe him closely."

Thousand-Mile Eye said at this moment, "Why don't you ask? Isn't Wind-Following Ear good at listening?"

"Ah, right, right, right."

"See what the situation is over there."

A Celestial Official chimed in at this moment.

Thousand-Mile Eye casually glanced over and saw a sea of people.

Thousand-Mile Eye said nothing, feeling like a fellow castaway.

"Stop rushing me, I'm watching. What's the hurry?"

Thousand-Mile Eye reported the situation in real-time.

South Heavenly Gate.

"This plan..."

"Cannot afford any changes."

The Jade Emperor's words were extremely cold.

"There definitely won't be any accidents. Everything is under control. It's just... this person's appearance..."

Taibai Jinxing was somewhat perplexed.

"It's fine. It won't cause any major trouble. A mere Heavenly Immortal, what waves can they stir? Even if they have some tricks, they'll be easily crushed."

The Jade Emperor sneered.

"This..."

"Buddha will handle everything. We can go back and continue drinking."

Taibai Jinxing nodded, but as he left, he cast another glance in Chen Tong's direction.

For some reason, he felt uneasy.

And he had a very bad premonition.

"Is it really okay?"

He muttered to himself.

However, he still followed the Jade Emperor and left the South Heavenly Gate.

They prepared to return to the Heavenly Court to continue their revelry.

Buddha said, "I'll give you one last chance."

"I'll give you a chance. Leave here immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, Buddha laughed instead of getting angry. He said, "I've been courteous to you. Don't think you can change everything just because you have a few little tricks."

"What little tricks? My dear father, do you know?"

Buddha was greatly surprised by this statement, as it touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

"I'll show you what kind of power I have later. Don't look down on me so easily. You ignored me before, but you'll be unable to reach me later."

Without another word, Chen Tong took out his Divine Brush.

The next moment, he casually drew five fire phoenixes.

These five fire phoenixes possessed immense power and let out phoenix cries.

Scorching flames filled the area.

They even tore through the space.

The might was terrifying, capable of exerting immense pressure.

However, to Buddha, all of this was merely child's play.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong's heart pounded. This...

"The might of a mere Heavenly Immortal. You can't unleash much power with such a treasure."

Buddha flicked his sleeve, and the next moment, the fire phoenixes vanished.

They turned into a rain of light.

Chen Tong weighed the Divine Brush in his hand and secretly marveled. It was indeed a growing treasure. If only his own strength were greater, it would be even better.

"Then try this."

Without hesitation, Chen Tong moved Buzhou Mountain.

Buddha's eyes grew serious. He hadn't expected Chen Tong to have so many trump cards.

However, it couldn't change the reality that he was just an ant.
