Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2039 - The excuse is too weak

Tang Sanzang and the others, seeing Chu Hao's arrival, were already struggling to hold on, and naturally, they immediately turned to Chu Hao for help.

"Brother, quickly lend a hand, we can't hold on anymore."

"Boss, save me!"

"Immortal Chu Hao, we are already unable to support ourselves."

Hearing the pleas of Tang Sanzang and his companions, Chu Hao immediately took action, releasing his cultivation to aid them.

"Don't panic!"

Chu Hao's method of releasing his cultivation was different from that of the Great Emperor Qinghua.

The Great Emperor Qinghua used his cultivation to harm people, so his release was violent and fierce, akin to an attack.

Chu Hao, on the other hand, wanted to rescue Tang Sanzang and the others, so his release was gentle and calm, solely to protect them.

Chu Hao's cultivation rose from below, shielding Tang Sanzang and his companions, and colliding with the oppressive force of the Great Emperor Qinghua's cultivation.

With Chu Hao's timely rescue, Tang Sanzang and the others were finally able to catch their breath.

"Fortunately, my brother arrived in time."

"Damn it, Chu Hao!"

Guanyin, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Her arrival could also be considered a rescue for Tang Sanzang and the others, yet they showed her no gratitude whatsoever.

But Chu Hao's action, saving them, made them regard him as their savior, filled with gratitude.

In Guanyin's eyes, this was truly a double standard, causing her heart to fill with annoyance.

"It would be best if the Great Emperor Qinghua and Chu Hao fought to the point of mutual destruction."

Guanyin muttered to herself with malicious intent.

The Great Emperor Qinghua might not know Chu Hao's strength, but Guanyin was well aware.

In terms of cultivation alone, Chu Hao was no longer beneath the Great Emperor Qinghua, and of course, the Great Emperor Qinghua was not simple either.

If these two were to fight, who would be stronger or weaker was still a suspenseful question in Guanyin's mind.

Needless to say, Guanyin's hatred for Chu Hao was immense. Chu Hao had repeatedly caused Guanyin to fail, causing the Western Paradise to return defeated. The animosity between them had surpassed that of ordinary enemies.

As for the Great Emperor Qinghua, Guanyin held no goodwill towards him at this moment, because the Great Emperor Qinghua was not under her control.

If the Great Emperor Qinghua had closely cooperated with her just now, they could have basically dealt with Tang Sanzang and the others long before Chu Hao arrived.

The Great Emperor Qinghua's refusal to cooperate had dragged on until Chu Hao's arrival, making the situation increasingly unmanageable.

Therefore, Guanyin would not interfere in the battle between Chu Hao and the Great Emperor Qinghua, and even hoped that they would fight as fiercely as possible.

At this moment, Chu Hao had already begun a confrontation with the Great Emperor Qinghua, albeit only a clash of cultivation.

In terms of cultivation alone, the Great Emperor Qinghua was a Seventh-Rank Quasi-Sage, while Chu Hao was already at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm, even with one foot into the Saint realm.

If it were a pure clash of cultivation, Chu Hao would definitely gain the upper hand.

However, the ways in which the two released their cultivation were different. The Great Emperor Qinghua was on the offensive, while Chu Hao was simply defending.

Between offense and defense, the attacking side was naturally more dominant.

Another point was that the Great Emperor Qinghua was suppressing Tang Sanzang and the others in a fit of rage, releasing all his cultivation.

But Chu Hao was different. He was merely saving people, and his cultivation did not involve all of his power.

As a result, the clash of cultivation between the two formed a balance. The Great Emperor Qinghua could not suppress Chu Hao, and Chu Hao did not make any counterattacks.

"Chu Hao, you are merely the Three Realms Prison God, while this Great Emperor is the head of the Four Great Emperors. Don't you understand the rules of the Heavenly Court? How dare you stop this Great Emperor from acting? What is your crime?"

Although Chu Hao was appointed as the Three Realms Prison God by the Jade Emperor and had the name of brotherhood with the Jade Emperor, in terms of official position in the Heavenly Court, he was still one level below the Great Emperor Qinghua.

Of course, this difference was only nominal, and the Great Emperor Qinghua was actually a titular position.

The Three Realms Prison God, on the other hand, controlled the Hall of Law Enforcement, governed the order of the Three Realms, and had the power of life and death, which was far more useful than a mere title.

"You still know that you are one of the Four Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court, but you betrayed the Heavenly Court and colluded with the Western Paradise. You are already a traitor to the Heavenly Court. What face do you have to issue orders?"

Chu Hao questioned the Great Emperor Qinghua.

This sentence exposed the Great Emperor Qinghua's secrets, causing his face to darken immediately.

"Nonsense! Tang Sanzang and the others are slandering this Great Emperor. Does the dignified Prison God also want to falsely accuse and frame me?"

The Great Emperor Qinghua could disregard everything in front of Tang Sanzang and the others. Even if they accused him of being a traitor, it was just abuse.

But Chu Hao was different. He was the Three Realms Prison God, with the power to control the Three Realms. If this crime were confirmed, Chu Hao would have the right to arrest him.

"False accusation and framing? Could it be that your mount, Nine Spirits Yuansheng, appeared in Yuhua Prefecture because Tang Sanzang and the others invited him?"

Chu Hao continued to question the Great Emperor Qinghua. The appearance of Nine Spirits Yuansheng in Yuhua Prefecture was already solid evidence.

"I admit that it was indeed due to my momentary negligence that Yuansheng went down to the mortal realm to become a demon. This is the responsibility of this Great Emperor.

But even so, Tang Sanzang and the others have no right to punish this Great Emperor's mount. Their mercilessly killing Yuansheng is disrespect towards me!"

The Great Emperor Qinghua was still trying his best to quibble, attempting to push all the responsibility onto Tang Sanzang and the others.

"Since you say that Tang Sanzang and the others have no right to deal with Nine Spirits Yuansheng, then does this Prison God have the right to deal with him?

If you want to prove your innocence, dare you hand over Nine Spirits Yuansheng to me? I will definitely make him explain everything clearly."

Chu Hao said with a smile, looking at the Great Emperor Qinghua. Although the Great Emperor Qinghua was desperately quibbling, he was only making things worse, his quibbles were quite weak.

As the Three Realms Prison God, Nine Spirits Yuansheng's descent to the mortal realm to become a demon naturally fell within his jurisdiction, and he had the right to deal with Nine Spirits Yuansheng.

However, the Great Emperor Qinghua did not dare to hand over Nine Spirits Yuansheng to Chu Hao, because he also knew the methods of the Hall of Law Enforcement.

As long as Nine Spirits Yuansheng was handed over, Chu Hao would have a way to make him speak, and Nine Spirits Yuansheng knew too much.

Once Nine Spirits Yuansheng spoke, he would not only confess the matter of the Great Emperor Qinghua's secret collusion with the Western Paradise, but it was estimated that all his crimes would be revealed.

"Chu Hao, this Great Emperor will discipline his own mount. How can I hand him over to you to deal with? Wouldn't this Great Emperor's face be completely lost?"

The Great Emperor Qinghua had no reason left and began to act shamelessly, using his face as an excuse. This in itself was a kind of rogue behavior.
