Eungwang High, around the east gate.
While the Dragon Clan and Jecheondaesung’s alter egos were dealing with the army from the sky, Eungwang High’s boundary turned white.
The boundary showed signs of freezing little by little due to the cold air emitted from the frozen otherworld, but the speed after Jogangryeob used his item card.
The white frost covered the boundary with the intention of freezing Eungwang High.
Crack, rip…
The frost spread in the shape of a snowflake and eventually overlapped with each other and looked like solid ice.
Jecheondaesung was wearing a blindfold, but his overflowing divinity allowed him to see everything.
He watched all the folly committed by Jogangryeob and lamented.
Jogangryeob used all his energy waves through an unidentified item card.
He’s not good at dealing with boundaries, but he was still one of the heads of the 12-point alliance and was able to directly interfere with the boundary.
Unlike another traitor who delicately intervenes with boundaries in an unnoticed way, Jogangryeob seemed to have no choice but to use this ignorant and inefficient method instead.
Jecheondaesung felt uncomfortable at the sight.
‘Where did he get that item card? Is it given by the people behind Bajie? It’s as if they knew that Bajie was going to lose…!’
Jecheondaesung was aware of Jogangryeob’s laxity.
Whenever it was important, not just once or twice did Jecheondaesung had to clean up after him because of his greed.
Jecheondaesung has also prepared for work more than once under the assumption that Jogangryeob would fail.
But this was something strange.
‘If they expected Bajie to fail, they should’ve paved measures for him to stay alive even after he failed. Now Bajie is as good as dead. I think he lost all of his energy waves when he used that item!’
Jogangryeob, who was lying on the floor after being beaten by Jecheondaesung, had no energy waves left.
Since he’s a royal lineage, the only waves he has left are enough to keep him alive.
Right now, even the weakest student in Eungwang High can defeat him.
The people that Jogangryeob worked for intended to use him as a throwaway.
“Why did you believe in such a man, you dumb idiot!”
“Geuk…”
Pow!
Angered by the conclusion that he reached, Jecheondaesung kicked Jogangryeob with his food instead of hitting him with the Ruyi Bang.
Jogangryeob tried not to make a sound the whole time, but that kick made him groan.
He lost the strength to endure it because he poured all his energy waves out.
It wasn’t because of pride or prestige that he held back his groan while being beaten by Jecheondaesung.
“I told you not to make a noise like a pig! Shut your mouth!”
“Geuuhk…”
“Do you take my words lightly? I told you to shut up!”
Hit! Hit!
As expected, Jecheondaesung beat up Jogangryeob until the latter closed his mouth.
In order to be less hit, it was a trick that Jogangryeob learned after a long experience.
Jecheondaesung beat Jogangryeob until he fainted, but he still didn’t touch his stomach.
Jecheondaseung murmured something about Zhu Bajie.
“Did you really want to go on another journey that you were sick of? Even throwing this world into chaos? If you’re going to hell, I’ll go with you, Bajie.”
Even so, Jogangryeob didn’t answer.
Jecheondaesung had a bitter regret that he should’ve disabled Jogangryeob.
He hurriedly decided to confirm what Jogangryeob did.
Anyway, it was obvious that he couldn’t speak properly anymore, so Jecheondaesung didn’t bother asking him questions.
Jecheondaesung, who was using his five senses to quickly examine the boundary, found something strange.
‘Strange. I can’t feel the cold air.’
The cold air from the frozen world.
In the frost, which was blowing more fiercely because of the unidentified item card activated…
It was strange that it covered the boundary yet he couldn’t feel the cold air.
Jecheondaesung suddenly reached a conclusion.
‘Don’t tell me the cold air in that frost is heading inside!’
All the cold air in the boundary can be felt inside.
Instead of the cold, Jecheondaesung felt a chill go down his spine.
He knew how many children were in there.
Among them were children he made a connection with through the Special Luncheon.
Against his will, the names of those children and the trivial chatter he shared with them kept coming to mind.
When he thought of the children who would be suffering from the cold air, Jecheondaesung felt a misery he couldn’t explain with words.
He felt that it was his mistake because he blocked Jogangryeob but not such a big risk like this.
‘I told that child to leave Bajie to me. Why did I…
Jecheondaesung thought of Jo Euishin who visited him not long ago.
Before meeting Jo Euishin, the not-so-easily-contacted Hwangho suddenly called his device and stressed several times that Jo Euishin is the benefactor of the Tiger Clan and that Hwangho himself was protecting the child.
Even without Hwangho saying so, Jecheondaesung didn’t want to lay a finger on Jo Euishin in the first place since the young man saved Wu Zhiqi.
But the fact that Hwangho said such a thing just made him more interested.
Jo Euishin came to visit him and told him a lot of interesting stories.
The most surprising thing was the Sangbosimgeumpa, which was completely colored with Jo Euishin’s energy waves.
‘If it weren’t for Jo Euishin, I wouldn’t have believed that Bajie would do this.’
If that happened, Jecheondaesung would’ve suspected that it was a plan to drive a wedge between him and Jogangryeob.
He wouldn’t have believed a kid who had a connection with the son of the group that kidnapped and imprisoned Wu Zhiqi.
If so, Jecheondaesung would’ve paid no mind until this situation came, and the damage would’ve been much greater.
Jo Euishin asked to quickly neutralize Jogangryeob because it was clear that he’d do something.
So he beat Jogangryeob with excitement as soon as he appeared, but he was careless and things turned out like this.
‘…I’ve messed up that kid’s plan.’
Jecheondaesung decided to move himself to deal with the mistake.
He took out the item handed over by Jo Euishin.
That item was the antidote made by Hyangrok.
When he swallowed a few dark pills, he felt his intestines begin to move.
Jecheondaesung approached the boundary as he recovered his melting intestines.
“…A dongsaeng’s mistake is a hyung’s responsibility.”
Jecheondaesung is one of the 12 clan heads.
He can also interfere with the boundary.
He intended to collect all the cold air left by the boundary.
As he approached the area, the energy poison that saturated began to attack Jecheondaesung.
Although he took an antidote, he felt the poison’s excessive force messing with his energy waves.
Jecheondaesung clicked his tongue and poured all the antidote he had into his mouth.
He didn’t get used to the feeling of his insides melting, but it was bearable.
“What are you doing, Jecheondaesung? Did you forget what’s around that?!”
Then, someone shouted at him from the sky.
It was Cheongryong, head of the Dragon Clan.
Cheongryong felt him approaching the boundary and immediately went to stop him.
Staying out of range of the energy poison, Cheongryong told Jecheondaesung to retreat.
However, the latter shook his head.
“It’s alright, I took the antidote.”
“Are you thinking of fixing the boundary yourself? The condition of that isn’t good. All kinds of forces are mixed, so it will be difficult to normalize even if you were in a perfect state!”
“I know. But I should do something about the cold air at least.”
Jecheondaesung said so and walked toward the boundary, even as Cheongryong stopped him.
With every step he took, Jecheondaesung’s silhouette began to change little by little.
According to the pledge of the 12-point alliance, the clan heads must show their true selves while manipulating the boundary.
When the tail from Jecheondaesung’s behind began to show, Cheongryong lost his words.
Jecheondaesung was serious.
Soon, he changed into his Sun Wukong form, the image that many remember from the Journey to the West.
Seeing the boundary up close, Jecheondaesung sighed.
‘The boundary’s a mess. It’s impossible to completely stabilize this on my own right now. But what can I do about the cold air?’
When Jecheondaesung put his hairy hand on the surface of the boundary, the boundary began to spark as if refusing his power.
Jecheondaesung seemed unaffected by the burn as he continued to push his power.
His energy waves flowed from the palm of his hand to the boundary.
Fwaaaa!
The divine energy waves from Jecheondaesung stretched out to the boundary.
The strong and warm energy could’ve melted anything in an instant.
However, the cold air that crept through Eungwang High was deeply rooted, and Jecheondaesung alone couldn’t collect all its malice.
‘No, at this rate…!’
Unable to withstand the power, Jecheondaesung began to burn.
The first thing was the blindfold that covered his eyes.
Although there were no humans around, if he is looked at from the front, anyone with a weak mind would go insane.
Jecheondaesung closed his eyes tightly and tried to recollect his strength, but it was difficult to do so because of the energy poison surrounding him.
At that moment…
Hwiii…
The wind blew, and the sky began to open.
In the open sky with a light so intense that it was hard to see with the naked eye…
Jecheondaesung raised his head, and he opened his eyes without realizing it as soon as the light reached his face.
“That’s…!”
Three beams of light were falling over the open sky.
All three were directed at him.
Jecheondaesung recognized it at a glance.
It was the power of superior beings coming down from heaven.
One was Tripitaka, Buddha of Candana Merit
Sha Wujing, the Golden-bodied Arhat.
Lastly, Bai Longma, the white horse who became Babu Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva.
It was his old friends, his comrades who had completed their long and great journeys.
They rose to superior beings a long time ago, but they helped Sun Wukong in the past.
Wooong!
The power was overflowing from Jecheondaesung when he was exposed to the light from the sky.
He generously used his power and poured it into the boundary.
Jiiiik…
The light soon melted the frost that covered the boundary.
Jecheondaesung lifted his head in joy at the melting frost.
The eyes that were revealed after a long time were overflowing with joy that was too wasteful to be hidden.
“Were you watching the whole time?”
Jecheondaesung asked, but the sky was already closed.
