As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention the Supreme Water God.
Even others showed a look of surprise.
After the Water God had died, the Fire God was indeed killed, and his death was very tragic.
No one knew who had killed him, only that he had died, tortured until his mind collapsed, and then he was killed.
This Eastern King was just a supreme from the future Heavenly Court, so where did he know this from?
Seeing the doubts of the crowd, the Eastern King laughed softly and said, "I too was one of the first living beings after the Creation of Heaven and Earth, I’ve just been in seclusion until now, not keen on involving myself in worldly affairs, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know about the matters of this world; from the Primordial era to now, I might know more about what has happened than anyone else."
Hearing the Eastern King’s words, the Supreme Water God and others were moved.
Not to mention, staying hidden is a kind of ability in itself, managing to dodge so many cosmic cataclysms and changes of divine dynasties.
If one didn’t have enough strength, it was utterly impossible to hide; they would be swept into the fray.
Some things, you can’t just avoid by hiding.
When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer.
"So it’s an old friend from the Primordial, then we were disrespectful," said the Heavenly Venerate Lord Ancestor, his expression improving slightly.
Later generations’ beings, even if supreme, if they were as forceful as the Eastern King, he wouldn’t like them.
But if it was a being from his own era who was this forceful, he felt it was completely justified.
Sun Wukong sneered coldly, these ancient gods, their disdain for later generations’ beings came from deep within their bones.
Even if the later generations’ supreme level powerhouses were not weaker than them, they would not take them seriously.
However, upon hearing the Eastern King was a being from their own era, they immediately changed, becoming much more polite.
This transformation made Sun Wukong sneer endlessly.
These ancient gods, would one day pay a price for their arrogance, he thought.
The Eastern King was somewhat noncommittal, he simply smiled lightly, then stared at the Supreme Ancestral Demon and said, "Please release the Great Saint and the Heavenly Venerate of the Thunder Department."
"I will release them, but you must agree to one condition," said the Supreme Ancestral Demon with a sinister laugh.
The Eastern King nodded. He was very calm as he said, "Demon Ancestor, please speak."
"You help me fight them, and also strike at that little fellow from the later generations hiding in the shadows; let’s kill the four of them together," the Supreme Ancestral Demon said, pointing at the Lord of Heaven Ancestor and others.
Then, he glanced at the Ancestral Dragon and added, "You’re somewhat sensible, I won’t kill you."
The Ancestral Dragon gave a bitter smile; to be regarded differently was something he didn’t know whether to be happy or angry about.
The faces of the Lord of Heaven Ancestor and others turned slightly cold, their eyes darkened, and they stared at the Supreme Ancestral Demon with lethal intent.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon stood there, ignoring their gazes.
Meanwhile, all eyes were focused on the Eastern King.
Only the little fellow mentioned by the Supreme Ancestral Demon, the crowd speculated, was most likely the Human Sovereign Suiren.
Among the later generations’ beings, only the Human Sovereign Suiren was known to have become a supreme level powerhouse.
Others, even the Great Emperor Ziwei, were now only sub-paramount level powerhouses.
This was also why the ancient gods and ancient demons looked down on later generations’ beings.
With only one supreme level powerhouse, why should they respect them?
Now, it all depended on the Eastern King’s decision.
If he was ready to join hands with the Supreme Ancestral Demon, today they would be in danger.
Just then, a spark appeared, growing suddenly in front of the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon exclaimed in surprise, retreating instantly.
This spark gave an unsettling feeling, posing a threat to him.
The next moment, he felt empty-handed; the Sun Wukong and Ao Zhan in his hands had already been snatched away.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon paused for a moment, showing a surprised expression.
Narrowing his eyes, he sized up the newcomer and laughed, "It seems I’ve still underestimated you."
Suiren, holding one person in each hand, had snatched Sun Wukong and Ao Zhan back.
But he frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.
The next moment, a flash of light in Suiren’s hands turned Sun Wukong and Ao Zhan into two monkey hairs.
Suiren showed a smile and said, "Great Saint, what a clever trick."
The crowd was surprised, only then realizing that the monkey had already escaped with Ao Zhan.
As for the two in the hands of the Supreme Ancestral Demon, they were transformed by the monkey.
Clearly, the monkey had done it intentionally, just to provoke a fight between them and the Supreme Ancestral Demon, withdrawing the Ancestral Dragon from the middle to reap the benefits.
What a cunning monkey, and what deep scheming.
No wonder the Ancestral Dragon had stopped speaking recently; perhaps he already knew all this, so he wasn’t worried anymore.
He glanced at the Ancestral Dragon, cursing in his heart, old coiner.
This fellow was the most cunning.
Having already known the truth, he still didn’t make a move, wanting to play the fisherman.
If it hadn’t been for Suiren’s intervention, they would have all been deceived.
The Supreme Ancestral Demon clapped his hands, laughing and said, "Oops, you found out. Now it’s no fun anymore, monkey, you better come out now; they already know."
Sun Wukong and Ao Zhan appeared, and though they weren’t supreme, they nonetheless attracted everyone’s attention there.
"Senior, if I were you, I’d run now. Aren’t you afraid they’ll gang up on you?" asked Sun Wukong with a smile.
Glancing at the Primordial Phoenix and others, the Supreme Ancestral Demon curled his lip, disdainfully saying, "Do you think I’m afraid of them? These weaklings, even if I stand here and let them fight me, they couldn’t harm me."
"Senior, how formidable," praised Sun Wukong, raising his thumb and exclaiming.
"Haha," laughed the Supreme Ancestral Demon.
Sun Wukong also laughed; when he first knew of the Supreme Ancestral Demon, he had been somewhat wary.
