Shao Siming trembled all over and suddenly came to her senses, looking at the Eastern King with deep dread in her eyes.
She finally realized that Sun Wukong was not to be provoked at this time.
The Eastern King was obviously with Sun Wukong.
If she made a move against Sun Wukong, it was likely that the Eastern King would kill her.
"Eastern King, what does this mean? Weren’t you not involved in our dispute with the Heavenly Court?"
The Senior Commander-in-Chief looked slightly cold, his gaze on the Eastern King carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Could it be that the grand Eastern King cannot even maintain this bit of credibility? Or are the words of the Eastern King himself regarded as nothing more than flatulence?"
The Eastern King glanced at him, ignoring the Senior Commander-in-Chief’s questioning, and asked indifferently, "I only have one question for you, Jin Zha and Mu Zha, were they killed by you?"
The Senior Commander-in-Chief’s heart stirred slightly, and he immediately understood the Eastern King’s intention.
It seemed that the Eastern King still intended to extract Queen Mother of the West from the Court of Ancient Gods, or at least prevent her from committing an unforgivable crime.
Nezha also showed a listening expression, eager to know the whereabouts of the two.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief said indifferently, "Why should I tell the Eastern King, as it seems all this has nothing to do with you."
"But it has to do with you."
The Eastern King’s gaze became sharp, and he said coldly, "If Jin Zha and Mu Zha are not dead, I will find them and send them back to the Heavenly Court, but if they are dead, I can still bring them back. However, before saving them, I will kill the two of you first and take your heads to the Heavenly Court to plea for Queen Mother of the West."
The Eastern King was not merely speaking, but truly intended to do so.
Tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the heads of Shao Siming and the Senior Commander-in-Chief, and rescuing Jin Zha and Mu Zha himself, he believed this would suffice to redeem Queen Mother of the West.
Thinking this, the Eastern King calmed down instead, no longer as anxious.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief’s expression changed slightly.
He heard a strong murderous intent in the Eastern King’s tone.
Clearly, the dissatisfaction of the Eastern King with them had reached an extreme point.
Thinking this, the Senior Commander-in-Chief took a deep breath and then said, "Jin Zha and Mu Zha are missing, we are also looking for them, and I guess they shouldn’t be dead. With the strength of the Eastern King, I believe they should be easy to find."
Saying this, the Senior Commander-in-Chief smiled and said, "Actually, we have no intention of being enemies with the Heavenly Court. We just want to establish the Divine Court, control the number of living beings in the Three Realms, and we do not wish to conflict with the Heavenly Court. In fact, we can be friends."
"Heh, you kill the common people, wanting the Ancient Gods from Beyond the Domain to return. We are destined not to be friends."
Sun Wukong said coldly.
The foundation of the establishment of the Ziwei Heavenly Court is the ordinary Human Race.
Regardless, the Ziwei Heavenly Court cannot just watch them killing ordinary living beings.
Thus, the words of the Senior Commander-in-Chief were mere nonsense.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief, however, was dead serious, declaring solemnly, "Great Saint, you should really consider this. I am not afraid to tell you that the Ancient Gods have enemies Beyond the Domain as well. If it weren’t for the Ancient Gods blocking them, they would sooner or later invade the Three Realms, and by then, the entire Three Realms would turn into a dead zone. Those beings from Beyond the Domain are terribly brutal. Once they set their sights on us, once they invade, an entire world would turn to desolation. There is no need to internally drain resources for ordinary living beings; we must maintain the power of the Three Realms."
Sun Wukong frowned and scoffed, "Perhaps what you say is true, but if the Ziwei Heavenly Court cannot even protect ordinary living beings, then how can we talk about combating external enemies?"
"Is it wrong for us, the Ancient Gods from Beyond the Domain, to want to return?"
The Senior Commander-in-Chief asked angrily.
"We have defended the areas beyond the Three Realms, keeping the Three Realms free from those external enemies. We have contributed to the Three Realms; we just want to return home, why can’t we?"
The Senior Commander-in-Chief said somewhat excitedly, his eyes wide open, losing composure, even appearing a bit insane.
Shao Siming, standing aside, was dumbfounded; she had never seen the Senior Commander-in-Chief before.
How fearsome are those beings from Beyond the Domain, to make the usually refined and gentle Senior Commander-in-Chief turn into this.
Sun Wukong didn’t even lift his eyelids, casually remarking, "You could also choose not to defend, after all, it’s not us who asked you to."
He sneered inwardly, these people being expelled and encountering the beings from Beyond the Domain.
They claim they are safeguarding the security of the Three Realms.
In reality, this is purely a concept switch; they could choose not to defend, but then they would be eradicated.
A group of people trying to survive and making it sound so righteous, it was simply laughable.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief nearly died of anger.
Of course, they could not refrain from defending; otherwise, the first ones to die would be them.
The Ancient Gods wanted to return, partially due to their discontent, seeking to come back and take revenge.
The second reason was that the enemies from Beyond the Domain were too terrible. If they return to the Three Realms, they could use the barrier of the Three Realms to defend, thus making things much easier.
Therefore, the Ancient Gods from Beyond the Domain were wholeheartedly determined to return.
"Stop talking nonsense, we are taking Nezha with us. You had better pray that Jin Zha and Mu Zha are unharmed; otherwise, I’ll take your heads to plead for the Queen Mother of the West."
The Eastern King said assertively.
In Shao Siming’s reluctant gaze, the Eastern King and Sun Wukong left with Nezha,
Truth Listening followed behind them, and now Truth Listening was completely relieved.
It turns out the Great Saint had brought him along not for eating dog meat but to look for someone; earlier he had been almost scared to death.
