Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Sun Wukong's primordial spirit swept slightly, and he uncovered some of the goings-on at Gao Village, especially information about this Tianpeng fellow.

"Cuilan is my wife, but what's up with having several wives? Though I, Lao Zhu, also have this thought, the only one who caught my eye right now is just her."

Zhu Ganglie rolled his eyes, feeling annoyed that the monkey saw him as a lustful ghost, and he loathed the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect even more.

"Isn't Lu Erjie also your wife?"

Given this fool's nature, he certainly wouldn't do anything like killing his wife.

"Bunny is Cuilan, isn't she? To make up for her deficient foundation, I, Lao Zhu, pulled some strings and sent her into reincarnation to be reborn, using immortal power and heavenly materials and earthly treasures to rebuild her foundation. Her true spirit is about to awaken."

"You're impressive…"

Sun Wukong suddenly felt a bit jealous of Zhu Ganglie's connections.

He also made many friends, but when he was in trouble and trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, apart from people from the Great Qin Empire checking on him, none of those who usually called him brother came to visit.

"By the way, Monkey, why have you come to my Fuling Mountain? I heard you offended that old Tathagata before and were suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, with a group of Immortals and Buddhas watching over. How did you manage to escape?"

Zhu Ganglie naturally knew of the Westward Journey calamity, and he had come to Fuling Mountain partly because of its influence, having been specifically sent here.

They wanted him to become the disciple of the scripture seeker and escort them to the Western Heaven's Great Leiyin Temple to obtain the True Scriptures, hoping to seize some of the Buddhist Sect's fate and merits.

"Chen San Zang saved Old Sun, and Old Sun promised to escort him westward."

He shrugged, Sun Wukong said indifferently, then leaned a bit closer to Zhu Ganglie, whispering about Chen San Zang's unreliability.

"Hiss, is Chen San Zang that impressive? Does he sow seeds wherever he goes? Does no one from the Buddhist Sect care about him?"

Upon hearing that Chen San Zang drank alcohol and ate meat and caused havoc among various wild demons in the mountains, Zhu Ganglie suddenly felt his days weren't as enjoyable.

Cuilan hasn't awakened her previous life's true spirit yet, though she's now married to him, she's very resistant to him, refusing his requests to consummate the marriage.

It was mainly a blunder due to alcohol, plus he was played by a small man from the Buddhist Sect, leading to Zhu Ganglie's Transformation Technique being broken on their wedding night, revealing his Pig Demon form and scaring Gao Cuilan half to death.

Who knew he reincarnated as a pig this life, his initially handsome appearance had become less than flattering, ugly to the point of the sky, how could he, the grand Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, be so passive?

Now Gao Cuilan truly threatened him with death, too afraid to get even a little closer.

Fortunately, Lu Erjie's true spirit will soon awaken, then her past life memories will resurface, Bunny will again be his dear little darling, and she'll be completely obedient to him.

"They care, of course, but it's no use. That guy seems to have the protection of the Heavenly Dao; all those brainwashing methods, conversion techniques, etc., lose effect in an instant."

This's also Sun Wukong's great puzzle.

Chen San Zang is the Golden Cicada's tenth reincarnation; while Daluo Strong People are formidable, they shouldn't withstand waves of brainwashing and conversion by those Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, right?

After all, now he's just a Taiyi Golden Immortal, unable to resist the devastation from Daluo Strong People.

But the fact is, even if Chen San Zang falls for it, within breath, he returns to his original state, completely unaffected by those special techniques.

This's just frigging absurd!

"Looks like this life's Golden Cicada is something special, either protected by big shots or has the Heavenly Dao's shelter."

Zhu Ganglie's eyes swirled around, contemplating how he might extract some benefits from Chen San Zang.

Escorting the scripture seeker is a must, after all, it's an assigned task, and he could also gain significant merits from it, why not enjoy it?

Moreover, the news from Sun Wukong indicates this Master Sanzang is a corrupted monk who enjoys drinking and indulgence.

"Isn't that just perfect?"

He, Zhu Ganglie, is also a Great Marshal who loves indulgence, loves drink and meat!

"Tianpeng, let me ask you something."

What's up with Chen San Zang, Sun Wukong didn't care. As long as he knew the guy had a rebellious streak, plotting to seize control of the Western Paradise's delights, it was enough.

"What is it?"

"You've held office in the Heavenly Court for so many years, surely you are clear on which officials there are of the Buddhist Sect and which are the Jade Emperor's confidants, right?"

Being suppressed by Tathagata and schemed against by the Jade Emperor, Sun Wukong held onto this resentment within him, never flowing smoothly.

As he couldn't deal with the main culprits, Tathagata and the Jade Emperor, for now, he planned to start with the minor players, cutting them off altogether and thereby weakening the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court.

Of course, this plan wasn't concocted by the monkey himself, since he tended to be impulsive and reckless, generally not using much strategy, preferring to confront directly with his staff.

This question to Zhu Ganglie was actually conveyed by Chen San Zang secretly when he parted ways with the monkey, instructing him to ask.

"Too small for the Immortal Officials so I didn't pay attention, but those who can enter and listen from the Palace of the Polestar, that I do know, why do you ask?"

"Hehe, Old Sun suffered losses, can't deal with the main culprits for the time being, so I have to find their forces under them to vent my anger."

Sun Wukong chuckled, deliberately revealing some things to test Zhu Ganglie.

"Monkey, you're overestimating; with your Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak cultivation level, those who can enter the Palace of the Polestar to govern, you will hardly be able to take them down."
