This period, Sa Shoujian had a hard time at Ziwei Heavenly Court.
Wherever he went, he was despised, and very few in the entire Ziwei Heavenly Court were willing to deal with him.
Even some hot-tempered powerhouses wanted to confront him several times, trying to chase away the treacherous official he had mislead.
Even, Sa Shoujian had been hit by several secret blows at the Heavenly Court, but he just couldn’t find out who the assailant was.
Now, when he went out, he was very cautious, afraid that he might be attacked stealthily at any moment.
Although those people didn’t strike fatal blows, injuring him was certainly no problem.
After a few times, he felt that he was not far from being beaten to death.
When he saw Yang Jian, Sa Shoujian burst into tears, grabbed Yang Jian, and sobbed loudly, filled with grievance.
Yang Jian was quite embarrassed, he didn’t know what had happened, so it was embarrassing for him to push Sa Shoujian away.
"Judicial Deity, you’ve finally come back. If you hadn’t come back, you wouldn’t see me anymore."
Sa Shoujian wept bitterly, looking like he had suffered a great injustice.
Some powerhouses of the Heavenly Court looked a bit embarrassed, their gazes flickering.
Yang Jian was speechless, somewhat baffled, what exactly had happened?
At this moment, someone came over and explained the whole story.
Yang Jian was somewhat speechless.
He glanced at Sa Shoujian, patted his shoulder, and said to the immortals, "My fellow deities, it was not Master Sa’s intention to impeach me before. It was just a strategy. Please do not misunderstand Master Sa."
Everyone smiled awkwardly, especially those of the Heavenly Venerate level, even more so.
At least those with the strength of a Heavenly Venerate had the qualification to act against Sa Shoujian in secret.
It was obvious who had done this.
However, Yang Jian was also somewhat touched.
From the experiences Sa Shoujian had gone through, it was clear how much they recognized him.
As a result, his diligent efforts for the development of Ziwei Heavenly Court were not in vain.
"Master Sa has suffered a grievance. This time, your contribution is the greatest. I believe the Emperor will surely give you a satisfactory reward."
Yang Jian said with a smile.
Only then did Sa Shoujian show a smile.
This time he could be said to have made significant contributions, having almost been beaten to death twice.
This was not acting, but truly being beaten.
If it weren’t for Sa Shoujian’s wholehearted performance, how could the Jade Emperor have been so easily convinced?
This time, it can’t be said that Sa Shoujian’s contribution was the greatest, but that his hard work was definitely the most.
After all, having been beaten so many times, it really was tough on him.
Great Emperor Ziwei gave Sa Shoujian a reward and issued one command after another.
And Sun Wukong bid farewell, returning to Huaguo Mountain.
He needed to regroup. In three days, the battle at Kunlun would not be as easy as imagined.
Sun Wukong always had a feeling that things wouldn’t be so simple.
Whether they could take down the Court of Ancient Gods was also an unknown factor.
The timing chosen by Great Emperor Ziwei was good, but their strength was not guaranteed to take down the Court of Ancient Gods.
No one knew if the Court of Ancient Gods had any hidden forces.
Not to mention others, just the few masters on the surface were enough to cause a headache.
And where exactly had the Jade Emperor’s real body gone?
Aside from The Three Pure Ones, perhaps no one knew.
But from the tone of The Three Pure Ones, Sun Wukong could tell that something significant was happening.
The place the Jade Emperor went to might pose a huge problem that even The Three Pure Ones couldn’t solve.
So, where exactly was that place?
What was it about a place that even The Three Pure Ones feared?
What kind of secrets are hidden in the Three Realms?
Sun Wukong sank into contemplation.
A figure appeared silently.
The Eastern King actually came.
Sun Wukong glanced at him but didn’t pay attention.
The strength of this Eastern King was monstrous, not inferior to the Jade Emperor.
The defenses of Huaguo Mountain were as if they didn’t exist to the Eastern King.
"What do you want with me?"
Sun Wukong asked with interest.
The Eastern King smiled faintly and said, "I couldn’t find anyone to talk to, so I came to chat with you."
Sun Wukong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Do you think I can chat with you? Or do you think Old Sun is human?"
Sun Wukong thought he was being humorous, but unfortunately, the Eastern King’s face showed not a hint of a smile.
Sun Wukong immediately felt a bit uninterested.
With a serious look, Sun Wukong asked, "What do you want to talk about with Old Sun?"
The Eastern King looked at Sun Wukong with deep eyes for a while before shaking his head and saying, "Originally there was a lot, but now there is nothing left."
It seemed he was just being toyed with.
With that thought, Sun Wukong suddenly remembered the last time the Eastern King sought him out.
"Do you want me to give Queen Mother of the West a break?"
Sun Wukong said gravely.
He had promised the Eastern King about this before.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Eastern King slightly shook his head and said, "No, that’s not it."
This left Sun Wukong stunned.
It really wasn’t. He had thought the Eastern King was here to remind him.
Instead, the Eastern King shook his head, directly denying it.
Did he really come just to chat?
Sun Wukong watched the Eastern King suspiciously, trying to guess his thoughts.
Seeing Sun Wukong’s puzzled face, the Eastern King finally said with a smile, "There won’t be a battle between you. In three days, Great Emperor Ziwei will have other things to do and won’t send troops against the Court of Ancient Gods."
"Why? What’s going to happen?"
Sun Wukong asked, his expression filled with profound confusion.
With the current situation, what else could happen? He didn’t understand.
