Chapter 101: Peeping into the Situation (Update)
In front of the Lingxiao Palace, the Great Sage and the immortals and gods were still fighting fiercely.

The Great Sage has many tricks up his sleeve. Unless the Great Emperor Zhenwu takes action, the gods here cannot really hurt him. But they cannot let him go either. This is because the Great Sage at this time is in the early stage of the Golden Immortal Daluo. Each of his sticks seems extremely domineering, and anyone who is not careful will get hurt.

The Great Sage showed no signs of holding back. Only Wang Lingguan dared to repeatedly step forward and engage the Great Sage in close combat, and each time he would hold out for a little longer.

It was at this time that Wang Lingguan used the Great Sage to sharpen his knife.

The Great Sage was not stupid either. He could see through Wang Lingguan's thoughts and used all his strength every time. After all, he would have a fierce battle soon, and it was just right for him to use Wang Lingguan to familiarize himself with the fighting instincts of this body.

After several hundred rounds, Wang Lingguan was about to step forward again, but he saw that the Great Sage had repelled all the gods and collected the Law of Heaven and Earth in the formation.

"The real master is here, everyone please make way!"

The gods were confused, but when they saw Emperor Zhenwu wave his hand, they withdrew the formation.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu said to Wang Lingguan, "This boy has a pure heart and a promising talent!"

Wang Lingguan put away his iron mace and, with a golden whip in his hand, pointed it at the Great Sage from a distance: "Observe his upright body, observe his righteous heart!"

With just eight words, the Great Sage felt his mind become much clearer.

"Thank you, Great Spiritual Officer, for your kindness!" The "Inspection Spiritual Officer" is responsible for inspections. Those eight words sound simple, but in fact, they can absolve the Great Sage of all his past guilt.

"Emperor, this is against the rules!" Wang Lingguan put away the golden whip and walked to the side of Zhenwu Emperor and said.

"There are no rules in this world." Zhenwu Emperor sighed. "What do you think of his statement that Xuantian disciples do not submit to him?"

"I don't understand the wit, but I think it is in line with the emperor's style." Wang Lingguan replied.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu nodded and said, "We have been king and subject for many years! It's rare to find someone who longs for freedom these days. Let him have it. I also want to know how far he can go."

"The real master that the Great Sage just mentioned has arrived. Does he not know about this matter?"

Zhenwu Emperor glanced at Wang Lingguan and said, "You're talking too much!"

Almost at the same time when the voice of Zhenwu Emperor fell, bursts of Sanskrit sounds came from afar.

The moment the Buddhist chanting sounded, all the gods here lowered their eyes, and their expressions became much calmer.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu waved his sleeves, and a barrier appeared in front of him. When the barrier appeared, Wang Lingguan and the gods of the Thunder Department all looked in the direction where the Sanskrit sound came from.

At that moment, the eyes of all the generals of the Thunder Tribe were filled with murderous intent.

"Don't be rude to the current Buddha of the West!" Zhenwu Emperor said indifferently.

The gods will collect their energy.

The two generals, Turtle and Snake, stepped forward slowly: "It's a demon!"

These two simple words made all the gods tighten their grip on their weapons again.

"We are not responsible for the cause and effect here. Just sit back and watch!" Zhenwu Emperor paused and said, "Wang Lingguan, what do you think?"

"To eliminate demons and defend morality, one should do so within the rules."

"Everyone says you're inflexible, but now I realize you're just not paying attention to those things. Regarding this matter, you're more flexible than anyone else."

Faced with the joke of Emperor Zhenwu, all the gods and generals pursed their lips tightly, wanting to laugh but not daring to, after all, that was Wang Lingguan.

Hehe! Wang Lingguan nodded.

"If he is a demon, the Emperor of Heaven will take action. You should all gather your energy and do not act rashly."

"Here!"

The gods will respond in unison.

It is said that the Tathagata Buddha came on a cloud and saw that the gods had already dispersed their formation. The Great Sage stood in the center with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Great Sage Equaling Heaven?" the Tathagata Buddha spoke, his words a true one, the mighty sound carrying a force that was almost deafening. The Great Sage held his golden cudgel before him, and instantly, a barrier emerged, completely blocking the sound waves.

"Exactly! Who are you, a kind-hearted man? Are you the reinforcements that the Jade Emperor has summoned?"

"I am the Tathagata Buddha, the Sakyamuni Buddha from the Western Paradise. It was your master who set up the trap and asked me to come here. Don't you know it?" The Tathagata Buddha's voice was not loud, but the gods here could hear it clearly.

"Gods, please retreat. With the Buddha here, there should be no problem!"

The gods suddenly heard the Jade Emperor's message, and without any hesitation, they scattered like birds and beasts.

The speed stunned Wang Lingguan and other generals of the Thunder Department.

"It's simple for them to think that all kinds of karma will not affect them, but today we are besieged and they have been dragged into the game and can't escape." The Great Emperor Zhenwu said to himself.

"What about the emperor?" Wang Lingguan asked tentatively.

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't be involved in this calamity, but now, I can't say for sure. It seems like I'm also showing signs of being affected."

Wang Lingguan: "Even someone as powerful as the Great Emperor was tricked into doing this? Did a Saint intervene?"

"If a saint took action, I wouldn't be so surprised, but the last time I felt his aura, he was just a perfect quasi-saint, so I'm not sure how he dared to make plans against the Western Buddha." The Great Emperor Zhenwu tapped the handle of the chair lightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He has been in charge of the north for many years and is now in the middle stage of Quasi-Saint cultivation. He has seen many talented people, but this is the first time that the Great Emperor Zhenwu has seen someone who dares to lay all his pieces out in the open and plot against someone of the same level of cultivation.

"Will he succeed?"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu was silent for a long time, as if he was really stumped by Wang Lingguan's question.

"It should be possible! Because he has already succeeded once. In fact, in places unknown to me, he has succeeded many times. Otherwise, this monkey's cultivation would not have reached the early stage of Daluo Jinxian."

Wang Lingguan did not ask any more questions. He asked the questions just now because he saw that Emperor Zhenwu seemed to be falling into the devil, so he asked them.

Now that the breathing of the Great Emperor Zhenwu has returned to normal, it naturally means that he is no longer under the evil thoughts.

"You saw it clearly!" said the Great Emperor Zhenwu with a smile.

"It was the Great Emperor who gave me guidance early on, so I dare to be so presumptuous!" Wang Lingguan's words seemed to be flattery, but in fact it was not.

Just before, the Great Emperor Zhenwu had asked Wang Lingguan to help the Great Sage dispel the cause and effect numbers around him, just to leave himself a way out.

"In that case, you will accompany me on my expeditions in the future! I'm worried that you will be ostracized in the Heavenly Court."

"Thank you, Great Emperor!" Wang Lingguan's eyes were full of joy. The Great Emperor Zhenwu was in charge of the north and was really subduing the demons, and that was Wang Lingguan's favorite thing.

However, in the past, the Great Emperor Zhenwu would never give him this opportunity, saying that he wanted to monitor the three realms. Now he is willing to let him follow him, which is enough to show how much what he just did was in line with his wishes.

"You're talking nonsense. I'm just a stone monkey born and raised by nature. How can I have a master? Don't talk nonsense, you bald donkey."

The Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together and said, "If you are plotting against me, then why are you hiding your true intentions? You are simply making people laugh. Fellow Daoist, please show yourself to me."

"You are not worthy to see my Master! Fight me first!"

The Great Sage immediately unfolded his complete Dharma of Heaven and Earth, and his Dharma image covered the sky and the sun, and he punched the Buddha.

"Looking for death!" Tathagata Buddha made a seal with one hand and pushed it out. The seal looked no more than an inch at first, but when he looked again, it was a mountain, heading straight for the Great Sage's fist.

"Conquer the devil!"
