Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 875 - 529: No Escape_2

"Of course, if I were you, it would be impossible to stay in the wilderness. The wilderness is too mysterious. Even the hidden forces and the World Supreme could not conquer it. So, what makes you think you can stay there?"

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. We never do anything without confidence. Even though the possibility of you being exposed is minimal, you should never take that gamble!"

Shen Gongbao shook his head with his hands behind his back.

A Saint Emperor lecturing a Supreme Being—this was indeed a rare scene.

To this, Tie Man had no rebuttal.

Shen Gongbao continued.

"Friend, it’s useless. I’ve seen through all your moves."

"You might have secret techniques for creating clones. Even if your current body dies, you have other bodies to continue living in. But it’s futile."

All the people in the wilderness exchanged glances.

They had just witnessed Tie Man’s tactics.

One after another, they came up with no way to deliver a fatal blow.

Everything was carried out according to Shen Gongbao’s instructions. If not for Shen Gongbao, Tie Man would have already escaped.

"Do you know why I haven’t besieged you all these years? Because I have been looking for the whereabouts of your ultimate survival technique. And now, I’ve found it." Shen Gongbao smiled.

At this moment, Tie Man’s heart was in turmoil.

He dared not believe nor was willing to believe what Shen Gongbao said.

But one thing was undeniable: everything Shen Gongbao said was true!

It was all true.

Not long after, Tie Man’s expression changed drastically.

At that moment, another figure descended—it was Fu Xi, who had also advanced to the Supreme realm.

Moreover, by his side were two more figures; one appeared only to have Quasi-Saint strength, and the other was even more absurd—a mortal.

Impossible!

How could this be!

Tie Man’s heart was continuously shouting.

Their last resort was these two people.

These were the bodies he had divided through secret techniques.

They had independent consciousnesses. As long as his main body died, Tie Man would awaken in one of these two bodies.

However, before seizing the consciousness of the clones, these two clones should not have been discovered.

Now, Tie Man was genuinely panicking!

"Friend, do you have any other tricks left? If you do, I will admit defeat and willingly let you go!" Shen Gongbao said with his hands behind his back.

Tie Man suddenly laughed, though it was a bitter laugh.

"High! Truly high! Even in the External Domain, among those top-notch supremes, I wasn’t afraid, but today, I am completely defeated by you! If you all want my life, come and take it!"

Tie Man genuinely admitted defeat, with both heart and words.

Being such a cautious person, so well-prepared, he thought he was utterly safe in the wilderness.

He even invested his emotions, but in the end, he was still seen through.

Though he felt some regret, he did not hold a grudge.

"No, you’re wrong. If we wanted to kill you, we would have done so long ago without putting in all this effort." Shen Gongbao said.

"Although you were well-hidden, even without me, you couldn’t have escaped. Because the Martial Ancestor constantly supervises the wilderness. The moment you appeared, you were already caught in Martial Ancestor’s gaze."

Tie Man was startled: "You won’t kill me? Then what do you want?"

"It’s simple. We want you to help us with something. I know the Iron Forest Domain has already crumbled, and you are now a rebel from the External Domain. The wilderness... is willing to accept you." Shen Gongbao said.

Tie Man fell silent.

He had been thinking all along about the fact that he no longer had a home and was considered a rebel by the External Domain. If the External Domain invaded later, they would not spare this traitor.

The wilderness, was it a good choice?

"What do you want me to do? You have your own channels to get information on the External Domain, so you don’t need me. Moreover, with my current status, I can’t go back to the External Domain." Tie Man said.

Although captured, he remained cautious.

"We need you to investigate certain matters." Shen Gongbao said.

"Investigate what? It can’t be a trivial matter!?" Tie Man’s eyes narrowed slightly.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. To be honest, he really didn’t want to get involved.

So many experts in the wilderness, yet they needed him?

"It’s about a secret in the External Domain." Shen Gongbao continued.

"I have no choice!" Tie Man said with a bitter smile after listening to Shen Gongbao.

"You can go now! During this mission, you will be protected by the wilderness. If you encounter any difficult problems, you can contact me anytime." Shen Gongbao waved his hand, and a precious jade fell into Tie Man’s hand.

Tie Man took the jade, somewhat surprised.

"You won’t restrain me in any way?"

"No need, you can’t escape the pursuit of the Great Desolation. Your concealment technique seems too clumsy to me," Shen Gongbao said.

Clumsy!!?

Tie Man was actually a bit unconvinced, but a loss is a loss.

The current him and Shen Gongbao were indeed not on the same level, insurmountable!

Tie Man turned around, given time, he definitely wouldn’t lose to this person again!

Watching Tie Man’s departing figure, Yuan Shi spoke.

"The Martial Ancestor is investigating matters of the outer domains, why let this Tie Man go? We have so many great powers in our Great Desolation, why borrow the hand of others?"

What he said wasn’t unreasonable, even Tie Man himself found it puzzling, why must it be him?

"We seldom can guess what the Martial Ancestor plans. If one could predict the Martial Ancestor’s actions, then our realms would have to be several levels higher," Laozi chuckled lightly.

Everyone deeply agreed.

On Mount Buzhou.

Recently, Heyuan often came here as a guest, wanting Sun Wukong to give him some pointers.

But Sun Wukong was unwilling to give Heyuan any guidance, not even willing to say much.

For instance, this time, he saw Sun Wukong send Tie Man to investigate something, he was very curious about what matter could require Sun Wukong to employ an outsider?

Earlier, he wanted to listen in, but didn’t gain any insightful information.

That matter was likely hidden in that precious jade, even the people of the Great Desolation didn’t know about it.

Heyuan was indeed puzzled.

No matter what, he had opened his heart to this Chaos Martial Ancestor, told him everything, yet this person!

He didn’t let him know anything.

"Martial Ancestor, after all, you’ve already informed Xuanyi about the destruction of Lu Yang’s True Spirit, you must have some things to tell me!" Heyuan said unhappily.

Xuanyi knowing about Lu Yang’s matter was also something Sun Wukong had told him.

Heyuan was also stunned at the time.

This person, truly, just casually exposed others’ privacy.

Even without seeking others’ consent, he just revealed it.

Is this something a person should do?

He left a letter intending to cut off Xuanyi’s thoughts.

He knew Xuanyi must hate Lu Yang deeply, but he also knew, Xuanyi loved Lu Yang very much.

So he didn’t want Xuanyi to worry too much.

In the end, this person turned around and sold him out.

"Telling you is nothing." Sun Wukong laughed.

"Actually, whether it’s Lu Yang’s shattered Divine Soul, scattering apart, or the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning wanting to devour the Great Dao’s corpse, or the Ancestor of Early Dawn’s sudden change in nature, even Yan Xi’s current state, all of it is a scheme set by the Great Dao. All orchestrated by the Great Dao alone."

Heyuan was greatly shocked.

He had acquired some of Lu Yang’s Divine Soul, and knew quite a bit.

Also knew quite a few inside stories.

From the Land of the Forsaken Husk to now, spanning eighteen epochs.

He knew it all.

But as for Sun Wukong’s words, he dared not agree even halfheartedly.

All a scheme by his master?

That was just too outrageous.

Anyway, he himself was unwilling to believe it.

To others, the Great Dao was extremely mysterious, but Lu Yang was very clear about the Great Dao’s character.

Lu Yang was a child picked up and nurtured by the Great Dao, he followed the Great Dao for a long time.

He had been by the Great Dao’s side since when the Great Dao was still a reverent being.

The Great Dao treated Lu Yang like a child, and Lu Yang always saw the Great Dao as a father.

The two had an excellent relationship.

Later, the Great Dao took on several disciples, showing great care for these apprentices too.

But now, Sun Wukong told him.

Their betrayal among brothers, and all these strange changes, were all due to the Great Dao’s scheme.

Heyuan simply didn’t believe it.

He inherited part of Lu Yang’s Divine Soul, bringing along Lu Yang’s emotions and such.

Even now, Heyuan looked at Sun Wukong with anger.

If Sun Wukong continued to speak ill of the Great Dao, it seemed he would turn against him.
