Guanyin is stunned? Martial Uncle? Which Martial Uncle?

As Guanyin Bodhisattva pondered how to set some obstacles for Sun Wukong, she noticed that the situation on site seemed a bit off.

"You insolent monkey, stop this nonsense!"

Descending from the clouds, Guanyin Bodhisattva first glanced at Tongtian, whose presence felt somewhat familiar, before shouting at Sun Wukong.

"Bodhisattva, it's not that Old Sun is being unruly, he wants Old Sun's life!"

Sun Wukong seemed to have a good impression of Guanyin for saving him. Seeing her appear, he immediately let down his guard and hopped over to Guanyin.

"Bodhisattva, what is this thing? Please take it off Old Sun!"

"You monkey~!"

Although Guanyin's face held a smile, her tone was exceptionally displeased. "This golden fillet is a treasure bestowed by the Buddha upon Jin Chanzi. As long as you cease killing living beings from now on, he will naturally remove it for you..."

"Killing living beings?"

"Hahaha..."

Before Guanyin could finish speaking, Xuanming, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh and turn to look at Sect Leader Tongtian.

"Grandmaster, isn't this ridiculous? A Buddhist beast devoured hundreds of thousands of commoners, and they all turned a blind eye. Now they're calling a hero who killed six bandits 'killing living beings'?"

"It's utterly laughable!"

"You?!"

A cold glint flashed in Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes. She had initially thought these two were passing rogue cultivators, but now it seemed they were here to cause trouble?

But isn't a mere Golden Immortal a bit too reckless?

If that's the case...

"Seeking death!"

Just as Guanyin secretly used her Spiritual Power, preparing to silently crush Xuanming, Tongtian beside him let out a disdainful cold snort.

"Cihang, it's been many years. I didn't expect your gender to change too? I seem to remember you being a man back then?"

"Pfft~!!"

Caught completely off guard by the Saint's glare, Guanyin Bodhisattva let out a muffled groan and couldn't help but spew out a mouthful of blood.

This greatly frightened the two people beside her.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

"Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, one confused and the other concerned, rushed forward to help her up, but Guanyin waved them away gently.

"May I ask which Fellow Daoist stands before me? Do you dare reveal your true form!"

"Heh, heh..."

Guanyin's words were one thing, but Tongtian started to laugh coldly at her statement. "Good, very good. Yuanshi has truly taught a fine disciple."

"Shamelessly acting as a running dog for Buddhism, and now you can't even recognize your own Uncle-Master?"

"Uncle-Master???"

As Tongtian's words fell, Guanyin's pupils suddenly narrowed into slits, and the figure before her slowly merged with the figure in her memory.

"No, impossible, this is impossible!"

Subconsciously taking several steps back, Guanyin Bodhisattva's face turned as pale as snow, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Uncle-Master, wasn't Uncle-Master in seclusion in Biyou Palace? How could he possibly be here? And how could he possibly interfere in mortal affairs..."

"Right, exactly!"

Saying this, as if struck by a realization, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked up with hope in her eyes.

"Uncle-Master, even, even if you are Uncle-Master, didn't the Dao Ancestor explicitly decree that Saints are forbidden from interfering in any mortal affairs? Are you planning to defy the Dao Ancestor's will?"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Tongtian scratched his head with some suspicion. "Xuanming, did the Dao Ancestor say that?"

"He seems to have said it!" Xuanming touched his chin uncertainly.

"Then why was Yuanshi able to attack your Master?" Tongtian looked at Xuanming, puzzled. Could that fellow Yuanshi dare to defy the Dao Ancestor's will as well?

"This..."

Xuanming explained with an awkward smile, "Grandmaster, it was precisely because Yuanshi made a move that the Dao Ancestor, fearing you would retaliate in kind, added that clause."

"Hong Jun, I &&&&..."

Tongtian's fury ignited. He no longer cared about the dumbfounded Guanyin beside him and stood there, unleashing a torrent of abuse towards Hong Jun.

"This, this, this..."

Guanyin rubbed her ears and wiped her eyes in disbelief. Only then did she confirm that she wasn't hallucinating or dreaming.

That Uncle-Master who always obeyed the Dao Ancestor's every word, actually dared to act like this?

"Not good!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva's face turned pale again as she thought of something. She secretly formed a hand seal, preparing to teleport away. She had to quickly bring this chilling news back.

Unfortunately, Even though Tongtian was furious, she, a peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, couldn't escape him. This was true even if her strength was comparable to a Quasi-Saint.

"Return to me!!"

As Guanyin Bodhisattva tore through space and was already halfway through, Tongtian, who had been incessantly cursing Hong Jun, reached out a hand without even looking up.

The next moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had been so high and mighty before Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, was grabbed back by him like a chick. She was casually thrown to the ground, dazed and her life uncertain.

"This, this... Gulp!"

If Tang Sanzang was merely a mortal who didn't know the power of Tongtian's move, then Wukong beside him was truly dumbfounded.

He wasn't just a mortal!

He was a Golden Immortal!

A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

One step further and he would be able to jump out of the three realms and be free from the five elements, roaming the heavens and earth as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

Because of this, he knew how terrifying Guanyin was. He had always been respectful and dared not act presumptuously in front of her.

But now?

The Guanyin Bodhisattva, whom he regarded as even more powerful than his Master, was actually dragged out of space like a dog and then thrown aside like trash, ignored?

Who was this person?!

What did he want?

Most importantly, what would be his own fate after witnessing all this?

"Master, am I, Old Sun, going to die here today?!"

Just as Sun Wukong was lamenting in his heart, even recalling the past and sighing at how young and ignorant he used to be, a voice with a hint of a smile sounded in his ear.

"Brother Monkey, do you really want to be Buddhism's lapdog that badly?"

"Who?!"

Startled, Sun Wukong instinctively gripped the Golden Cudgel in his hand. But when he saw who was in front of him, he immediately put the Golden Cudgel away with lightning speed.

"F-Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? I, Old Sun, am not one of those Buddhist lackeys!"

"Is that so?"

Xuanming chuckled lightly. Without refuting, he turned to Tongtian and said, "Grandmaster, are you done scolding? If you're done, come and do some work!"

"What is it?"

Although he still felt unsatisfied, upon hearing Xuanming's summons, Tongtian stopped his remaining ten thousand curses and flashed to his side.

"This, help him take it off!"

Xuanming pointed at the Golden Fillet on Sun Wukong's forehead, his tone carrying a hint of emotion. "The Handsome Monkey King, who roams the heavens and earth, free and unrestrained, should not be bound by a golden fillet!"
