Chapter 983: What if it’s a demon?

As soon as he left, the three-party struggle started immediately.

Seeing human practitioners hunting down demons, they even did not spare the spiritual beasts in the mountains. After killing them, they would skin them, pull out their tendons, and separate their flesh and blood.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong became furious.

The moment he appeared, he took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang from his ear and, with one blow of the stick, killed more than ten people and even blew away a small hill.

He could ride on the clouds and split mountains and rivers with his stick. His unparalleled martial power instantly scared away other human practitioners.

The Cangwu Mountain God was chasing closely, but even though they were in their own territory, how could he outrun the current Sun Wukong? When he arrived, he saw corpses all over the ground and sighed helplessly.

However, before he could say anything, the furious Sun Wukong saw the corpses of the monkeys and mountain creatures, and looked back with red eyes.

"You incompetent mountain god! You drank with me in the cave without any haste, but you turned a blind eye to the killing here. You are really derelict in your duty!"

"Poor me, my monkey descendants. Just because I was trying to show my power, I was skinned and boned by these human cultivators. I lost my life for nothing!"

Sun Wukong was of impatient temper and was so angry that his hair stood on end. He landed in the woods and scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to swallow this anger.

It didn't go so far as to attack the mountain god, but it was so angry that it couldn't help but curse a few words.

The Cangwu Mountain God had no choice but to slowly approach.

"If demons bully the defenseless people in my territory, bully the weak, and disrupt the balance, I will naturally take care of it."

"But the relationship between these human cultivators and the demons is, at best, a blood feud; at best, a racial conflict. They have a legitimate reason to come and attack us, so how can this little god control us?"

"And... Monkey King, even if you want me to control the demons and stop them from causing trouble... I'm in a very difficult situation. Not to mention whether the demons can agree, even these human cultivators are afraid that they won't agree."

The words of the Cangwu Mountain God were rather obscure, but they also expressed some deeper meanings.

In today's situation, the God of Mountains and Rivers can no longer completely rule over all places, and power is divided among many new gods in the human world.

Moreover, the conflict between the human and demon races cannot be resolved at all. The hatred is mixed with interests, making it increasingly complicated.

Even Anshan could only issue a call to allow the enlightened creatures who no longer wanted to live in the same world with humans to migrate to the spirit world. These small gods from all over the world did not dare to get involved in the matter, and at most they tried their best to protect innocent people from being harmed.

Sometimes, human practitioners even collude with good and evil and spontaneously carry out massacres of villages and the destruction of the land, just to have a legitimate reason. Under the guise of exorcising demons, they hunt down guilty demons while specifically killing some pure-hearted spiritual beasts.

It is hard to tell and explain. Many things are not just good and bad, black and white.

Therefore, the little gods from all over the place will no longer interfere in the grievances and pros and cons between human practitioners and demons, so as to avoid getting into trouble.

After hearing the explanation from the Cangwu Mountain God, Sun Wukong was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, wandered around in the same place, and was still very angry.

"The human race has grievances with the demons, so they can fight among themselves. Killing my monkeys and their descendants and slaughtering innocent lives is nothing but greed!"

The monkey looked at the corpses of his fellow monkeys and felt more and more that this was an unprovoked disaster. He was so angry that he almost exploded.

However, the Cangwu Mountain God directly rubbed salt into the wound.

"A fly won't bite an egg that has no cracks. The human race is now powerful, and the human cultivators are greedy and have no bottom line. Naturally, they are extremely bad. But they still act under the name of exorcising demons and monsters."

"Among those demons, there must be some who have harmed the people and committed sins that led to this disaster."

"Originally, there were no demons or monsters in Cangwu Mountain, and it was peaceful and tranquil. A while ago, you casually accepted living beings without asking about their origins, whether they were spirits or monsters, and mixed with them as brothers. There were groups of demons and monsters in the mountain...but this also sowed the seeds of today's disaster."

Those spirit monkeys appeared when human practitioners were hunting down demons. Taking into consideration that the demons were under the king's command and were in the same camp after all, they cheered for them.

Such behavior would naturally be regarded as accomplices by human practitioners and hunted down and killed.

As for whether innocent people were killed indiscriminately, how could those people care? They just wish more spirit beasts would jump out to block their way so that they could make a fortune and return home.

Sun Wukong laughed in anger: "Since you killed my monkeys and grandchildren, no matter what grudges you have, I will naturally avenge them!"

Even though the monkey knew he had done something wrong and regretted indulging in vanity, he was unwilling to admit it. Although he had a pure heart, he was also aggressive and brave, and could not bear the slightest loss.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was filled with anger, the God of Cangwu Mountain sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

Today, I killed more than a dozen people in a fit of rage, but I didn't gain any merit.

After starting the killing spree, the monkey's hands were stained with blood. He would probably not be able to control his murderous nature in the future, and would sooner or later become a demon.

I wonder if Lord Yuanzun had anticipated all this?

That admonition must have been because the author did not want Sun Wukong to really associate with demons. However, the incident happened suddenly, and the monkey had just come to his senses when he was overwhelmed by the incident.

The impact of this incident is chain-like.

Soon, Cangwu Mountain was attacked by a large number of human practitioners. They searched the mountain and killed any intelligent creatures they saw, making the mountain no longer peaceful.

Although Sun Wukong kept in mind the teachings of his ancestors and did not dare to do evil things on his own initiative, he could not bear to sit idly by and watch his fellow monkeys being killed. When he was forced into a corner, he could not help but take action. With a single strike of his stick, he killed quite a few people.

Although it controlled its power and only killed those practitioners who forced themselves to come, and did not harm innocent people, such behavior was still distorted by rumors.

Now, the title of the Monkey King of Flower-Fruit Mountain was completely associated with demons.

Many great human practitioners have righteously rebuked it, saying that it originally had amazing spirituality and had the potential to become an immortal or a god, but now it has repeatedly committed murders and is no different from a demon, and it really does not repent!

Sun Wukong was impatient and didn't argue with them. After one hit with his stick, the voices of criticism became much quieter.

After killing so many people, it only left behind a few unruly words, which echoed throughout the world:

"If you don't kill people, you are a spirit. If you kill people, you are a demon?"

"Who made these rules? They are bullshit. They are all for your benefit!"

"I, Old Sun, never bully the innocent or harm the weak. I only kill the wicked and have a clear conscience! Do I have to wait for you to wield your butcher knives, peel off your skin and pull out your tendons without being able to resist, to be considered a qualified spirit?!"

"You can call me whatever you want, be it a spirit or a demon, I am still myself, the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain!"

Sun Wukong knew nothing about the ancient war between humans and demons, nor did he know about the deep-seated conflicts of interest.

It just doesn't accept this unfair rule, and it's unhappy in its heart, and it says it directly.

Sun Wukong doesn't care about the distinction between spirits and demons. As long as he has a clear conscience, even the king of heaven cannot suppress him!
