Chapter 1161: Chapter 359: Do Me a Favor_2
The anger in his heart did not dissipate, but he finally calmed down.
His cold gaze swept over Sun Wukong and the others with a hint of murderous intent.
Then Emperor Jun turned around and surprisingly retreated.
Sun Wukong was about to pursue but was pulled back by the Eastern King.
"That’s enough."
The Eastern King wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to be so impulsive, wanting to chase after him alone.
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes; he indeed got a bit carried away earlier.
If he charged up alone, there would surely be no good outcome, with a high chance of being taken down.
With the retreat of Emperor Jun, his subordinates also retreated.
This great battle erupted suddenly and ended quickly.
However, the bodies strewn all over the ground told everyone of the cruelty of this battle.
In this brief fight, at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers died, and even some Supremes were lost.
It showed just how terrifying this battle was.
"Really want to wipe them out; then the world would be at peace,"
said Sun Wukong, scratching his head.
The Eastern King was speechless, thinking Sun Wukong was too simplistic.
If Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were so easily wiped out, they wouldn’t have lived until now; they would have been wiped out in ancient times.
The only ones in the world qualified to say they can wipe out the two are The Three Pure Ones.
The current Heavenly Court doesn’t have that capability.
Sun Wukong’s idea seems difficult to achieve.
"Being able to kill one Ji Meng today is already quite good. Ji Meng is Emperor Jun’s right-hand man, losing him is even more painful for Emperor Jun than losing Xihe,"
said the Eastern King.
He sighed, the first marshal under Emperor Jun, renowned throughout history, a mighty figure among Supremes, just fell like that.
He intended to scheme against the Heavenly Court but didn’t expect to scheme himself to death instead.
Emperor Jun’s plans to retake the Three Realms suffered repeated setbacks.
"In the future, Emperor Jun will probably hate you to the core, you better be careful,"
the Eastern King reminded.
The instigator of all this is Sun Wukong.
"What am I afraid of? My sworn elder brother is Lord Taishang; if little brother is bullied, would big brother not show up? Could he just watch his brother being bullied?"
Sun Wukong chuckled.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, everyone was speechless.
The sworn brotherhood with Lord Taishang, what exactly is that about? Do you not know it yourself?
However, it’s true that Lord Taishang would never let Sun Wukong die.
Thinking this way, the possibility of Lord Taishang intervening is quite high indeed.
"Have you figured it out?"
Sun Wukong asked.
The Eastern King: "..."
Then he transmitted: "Don’t take Lord Taishang’s calculations too seriously. Becoming stronger yourself is fundamental."
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, restraining his smile.
The outcome of this battle spread throughout the Three Realms.
The forcefulness of the Heavenly Court shocked all the gods in the Three Realms.
Without relying on The Three Pure Ones, just the strength of the Heavenly Court blocked the joint assault of Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, not allowing them a chance to rescue Ji Meng.
As for Ji Meng’s fall, it delighted the immortals, and the Ancient Gods and Devils breathed a sigh of relief, looking fortunate.
Previously, Ji Meng’s actions not only threatened the immortals but also gave the Ancient Gods and Devils a sense of crisis.
In fact, three groups of Ancient Gods and Devils were annihilated.
Though not strong nor having a Supreme, it caused a huge uproar.
Originally, those Ancient Gods and Devils thought Ji Meng wouldn’t move against them, considering they were also Ancient Gods and Devils.
After those three groups were annihilated, they no longer had such thoughts.
Fortunately, Ji Meng was killed.
They no longer worried, feeling grateful to the Heavenly Court and Sun Wukong.
If not for them, the Ancient Gods and Devils would all be on edge.
As for whether the Heavenly Court’s actions were within the rules, no one questioned it anymore.
Occasionally, one or two tried to seek attention by claiming the Heavenly Court violated its own heavenly rules, not showing the demeanor it should.
Those who jumped out were immediately besieged.
Too many people were killed by Ji Meng and his group; these people were full of gratitude towards the Heavenly Court and Huaguo Mountain, naturally unwilling to hear anyone speak ill of the Heavenly Court.
After that, no one dared to say anything bad about the Heavenly Court.
Anyone who dared defend Ji Meng or wash clean his deeds became a public enemy.
In the palace of the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Emperor Jun stared at him with endless coldness in his eyes.
"Tai Yi, I want you to give me an explanation,"
Emperor Jun said coldly.
He was furious. If not for Tai Yi fleeing the battlefield with his troops, Ji Meng would not have committed suicide.
In Emperor Jun’s view, the cause of all this was the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi smiled lightly, his white robe spotless, sitting there with an air of majesty.
After Emperor Jun’s voice fell, Tai Yi glanced at him and did not answer his question but said, "Emperor Jun, I am not your subordinate."
Emperor Jun narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"What I want to do, no one can interfere, including you, Emperor Jun,"
Tai Yi’s tone was mild but also very domineering.
Emperor Jun’s attitude also left him very dissatisfied.
Tai Yi had tried to stop Emperor Jun, advising him not to act so rashly.
But Emperor Jun did not listen, constantly provoking the Heavenly Court.
Ji Meng’s death, in Tai Yi’s eyes, was ultimately Emperor Jun’s own doing.
"I respectfully call you brother because of basic respect. Emperor Jun, don’t take yourself too seriously; I, Tai Yi, am also a Heavenly Emperor,"
the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi said coldly.
Emperor Jun’s pupils contracted slightly. He had come to reprimand Tai Yi, but hearing his words, his expression darkened immediately.
