Don't rush me in the comments! I'm currently identifying a primordial saint.

Chapter 291 Betrayal by Buddhism! The Truth Revealed Again.

At the entrance to the dungeon.

Su Fan cleaved open the door with a single sword strike and walked inside.

Deep in the dungeon, he saw Sun Wukong bound in chains.

Sun Wukong raised his head, looked at Su Fan, and smiled.

"Kid...you've come."

Su Fan walked over and felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Sun Wukong's injured body.

"Great Sage, I'm late."

Sun Wukong shook his head.

"Not too late. Just right."

Su Fan raised his hand, and the Chengyuan Sword severed the chains.

Sun Wukong's body went limp and he almost fell over, but Su Fan quickly caught him.

"Can you still walk?"

Sun Wukong grinned.

"Yes. I, Old Sun, am not that fragile."

Su Fan helped it and walked outside.

Stepping out of the dungeon, they found themselves surrounded by the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance.

But looking at Su Fan, none of them dared to step forward.

Su Fan glanced at them.

"roll."

Everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon and ran away as fast as they could.

Su Fan helped Sun Wukong into the air and left the City of Ten Thousand Demons.

……

Outside the City of Ten Thousand Demons, on a desolate mountain.

Su Fan placed Sun Wukong on the ground and took out healing pills from his system space.

"Great Sage, open your mouth."

Sun Wukong opened his mouth and swallowed the elixir.

The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth, and the wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sun Wukong let out a long breath.

"I feel much better."

It looked at Su Fan with eyes full of gratitude.

"Thanks, kid."

Su Fan shook his head.

"We're brothers, no need for thanks."

Sun Wukong laughed.

"Yes, brother."

It paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Do you know why I, Old Sun, came to the Outer Heavens?"

Su Fan shook his head.

Sun Wukong gazed into the distance, a flash of memories crossing his eyes.

"Back in the day, I, Old Sun, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain by Buddha for five hundred years. Later, I followed my master to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures, cultivated myself into Buddhahood, and became the Victorious Fighting Buddha."

"But I, Old Sun, have always had a knot in my heart."

"Back when I was causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Buddha suppressed me, Old Sun, in this outer heaven. It was always my divine shadow who went on the pilgrimage."

Su Fan frowned.

"The Tathagata? Isn't he a member of Buddhism? Why would he suppress you?"

Sun Wukong smiled bitterly.

"It's a long story. To put it simply, there was a traitor within Buddhism who colluded with forces from beyond the heavens to try and seize my true form."

"This time, it was that traitor who led the people of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance to launch a sneak attack on me, Old Sun."

Su Fan's eyes turned cold.

"Who is the traitor?"

Sun Wukong paused for a moment.

"The Six-Eared Macaque".

Su Fan was taken aback.

"The Six-Eared Macaque? Didn't you kill it?"

Sun Wukong shook his head.

"What we killed was its shadow form. Its true form had been hiding in the shadows, plotting to steal everything from me, Old Sun."

Su Fan took a deep breath.

"And now? Where is it?"

Sun Wukong looked into the distance.

"It should be in the City of Ten Thousand Demons. It's colluding with the leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, trying to use the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance to completely refine my original body."

Su Fan stood up.

"Then I'll go back and kill it."

Sun Wukong grabbed him.

"Don't worry. Although the leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance is dead, there is an even greater force behind the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance."

"The outer heavens are not like Earth; the waters here are much deeper."

Su Fan frowned.

"An even greater power?"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"There are four major powers in the Outer Heavens: the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance in the Eastern Region, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect in the Western Region, the Ten Thousand Demon Cave in the Southern Region, and the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion in the Northern Region."

"The Myriad Demon Alliance is just one of them, and its leader is only a mid-stage Saint. The true rulers of the four major forces are all peak Saints, and some even surpass Saints."

Su Fan gasped.

Peak of sainthood? Beyond sainthood?

What level of skill would that be?

Sun Wukong continued.

"The Six-Eared Macaque has joined the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, which is why he dared to attack me, Old Sun."

"You killed the leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, which has already offended the alliance. If you kill the Six-Eared Macaque as well, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect will not let you off the hook either."

Su Fan paused for a moment, then smiled.

"So what if I offend you?"

"I even killed the leader of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance, what am I afraid of?"

Sun Wukong looked at him and smiled.

"Alright. With you saying that, I, Old Sun, am relieved."

It stood up and stretched its limbs.

"But now is not the time to make a move. My injuries haven't fully healed yet, and I need to find a place to recuperate."

Su Fan nodded.

"Okay. I'll protect you."
