Ao Guang hurriedly went to make arrangements.
This Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan, after the return of the Ancestral Dragon, had basically fallen to the role of a mere errand runner.
Moreover, he was only running errands within the Dragon Palace.
Outside, he was not up to the task, as his strength was insufficient.
Sun Wukong did not refuse; he even sent a message to Nu Ba and Fan Yao, asking them to come.
There were so many good things in the Dragon Clan, if a banquet were held, it certainly wouldn’t be inferior to the Peach Banquet.
If one could take a bit more advantage, then all the better.
After all, Fan Yao had already reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and had been stuck at that level.
If she ate more natural treasures, perhaps there was a chance she could break through that too.
As for Nu Ba, she was now at the peak of the Heavenly Venerate realm, just like him.
She was originally well-known as a war general of the Human Race, with talent and fighting power to boot. Even facing top-tier Great Heavenly Venerates, while she might not be a match for them, she wouldn’t be defeated easily.
For the average Great Heavenly Venerate, they might not even be her match.
While natural treasures were not of great use to her, they could nourish her body and enhance her vitality.
When they saw Nu Ba and Fan Yao appear, the faces of the Dragon Clan members varied.
They all knew that the Dragon Princess was fond of Sun Wukong, and the other women by Sun Wukong’s side were most likely her rivals.
Therefore, they were not too fond of Nu Ba and Fan Yao.
Sensing their displeasure, Sun Wukong’s expression darkened slightly.
He asked himself, immediately making those from the Dragon Clan somewhat uneasy.
The Ancestral Dragon, however, laughed, "Great Saint, don’t mind them. They are just ignorant."
Sun Wukong let out a cold laugh, the smile on his face disappeared.
Nu Ba spoke up, "I know what’s in your hearts. I have a very good relationship with the Dragon Girl, we are like sisters. If you’re unhappy with my presence, you may leave now. I came here out of respect for the Great Saint and the Dragon Girl. If you’re unwilling, then I shall not impose any further."
After speaking, Nu Ba stood up and left.
Fan Yao also said with a smile, "I am merely a subordinate of the Great Saint, and definitely not a rival in love with sister Dragon Princess. I used to have a good impression of the Dragon Clan, but now I see that the Dragon Clan is nothing special."
After speaking, she turned and left.
The two women were both extremely forthright, daring to make a stand against the formidable Dragon Clan and showing no regard for their dignity.
They were invited by the Great Saint; regardless of their status, these people treated them with cold indifference, which was tantamount to disrespecting Sun Wukong, so naturally, they didn’t bother to be accommodating.
No one expected such a sudden turn of events.
"Old Sun takes his leave. Only now do I realize that my friends are but a few members of the Dragon Clan, not the clan as a whole. Farewell."
Having said that, Sun Wukong kicked over the table in front of him and turned to leave.
Members of the Dragon Clan: "..."
Could someone tell them what exactly had happened? Everything had been going well; how did it come to this?
And they hadn’t said anything, just felt a little discontent.
In their eyes, a mere Immortal of the Human Race daring to compete with their princess for a man was already a grave mistake.
"Well done," the Ancestral Dragon said with a glare, his dissatisfaction evident.
Instantly, many Dragon Sons knelt to the ground.
"Ao Zhan, prepare gifts and go to Huaguo Mountain to apologize," said the Ancestral Dragon.
"I will not go," Ao Zhan said indifferently.
The Ancestral Dragon’s eyes glared, visibly displeased.
"You won’t even listen to what I say?"
Ao Zhan stated calmly, "The one who caused the issue should apologize. I must also inform my brothers that we are no longer in the Primordial era. It is true that our Dragon Clan is strong, but don’t underestimate the creatures of later generations. The Great Saint started his cultivation journey less than ten thousand years ago, and thousands of those years he was suppressed; he has truly cultivated for less than a thousand years, and yet he can now contend with a Sub-Paramount. Let not your arrogance cloud your vision."
Upon hearing Ao Zhan’s words, all his older brothers displayed shocked expressions.
A Heavenly Venerate in less than a thousand years of true cultivation, with a strength approaching that of Sub-Paramount level fighters.
Such talent and strength, if placed in the Primordial era, would have been the most dazzling of stars.
They finally realized they had underestimated Sun Wukong.
"Furthermore, you must have heard of the Judicial Deity’s reputation; to some extent, he is no weaker than the Great Saint. He is now in closed-door cultivation aiming for the Great Heavenly Venerate realm. Once he achieves that, he will be invincible under a Supreme."
Seeing his older brothers’ expressions change, Ao Zhan continued, "Moreover, the Judicial Deity Yang Jian and Sun Wukong are sworn friends. Once both become Great Heavenly Venerates and join forces, they might even be capable of suppressing a Supreme."
"The later generations’ Tathagata Buddha is currently attempting to reach the Supreme Level, and the day he emerges from seclusion is likely the day he becomes a Supreme. Strictly speaking, he can be considered the Great Saint’s nominal master."
"The Eastern King was a creature of the Primordial era, and he has a good friendship with Sun Wukong."
"Sun Wukong has substantial ties with the Five Emperors of the Human Race. Suiren is the Progenitor of the Human Race, Nu Ba is a well-known war general of the Human Race, and the Human Princess, what do you think is her relationship with Sun Wukong? Moreover, how can our Dragon Princess be more noble than the Human Princess?"
"You might not know who the Great Saint’s true master is: it’s the Haotian God. Although they have turned enemies, the later generations’ creatures are not as weak as you imagine."
