I think, when the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, he was majestic, and all the immortals prostrated themselves under his golden cudgel. At this time, Wang Lingguan happened to be a policeman in Lingxiao Hall. Because the Monkey King wanted to beat the Jade Emperor, he had to stand up and stop the Monkey King. Although Wang Lingguan's position was not high, his force value was unexpectedly high, and he even tied with the Monkey King, which surprised other immortals.
In fact, to put it bluntly, these immortals have their own small plans, and they don't want to contribute to the Monkey King, so Wang Lingguan picked up a bargain. After all, there are so many heavenly soldiers and generals in the sky, and everyone is a fairy who has been practicing for many years, and the Monkey King is just a boy who has just practiced, and his mana and experience are certainly not as good as these slippery hands; And Wang Lingguan estimation is also eager to make contributions, so directly and the Monkey King raised his weapon, naturally make other colleagues uncomfortable.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Wang Lingguan was punished by the Jade Emperor and sent to earth as the guardian of the City God Temple. Wang Lingguan himself should not have expected such an ending, but he is not the protagonist of Journey to the West, and he is doomed not to have much playing time. Even if he once singled out the Monkey King, the Great Sage of Monkey, or even split it 50-50, he was forgotten.
