Chapter 1167: Chapter 361: Welcoming the Angel
The Great Emperor Ziwei did not ask; the more interactions he had with the Eastern King, the more he felt his mystery.
But fortunately, the Great Emperor Ziwei never sensed ambition from the Eastern King.
Although the Eastern King had many secrets, he was very dedicated to serving the Heavenly Court.
With such a reliable partner, the Great Emperor Ziwei naturally would not compel him to do anything.
"Your Majesty, cooperate with Emperor Jun."
The Eastern King said.
He was quite helpless and a bit frustrated.
The Great Emperor Ziwei felt a flicker in his heart and said, "Since the Eastern King says so, we will agree to cooperate with Emperor Jun. Are there any aspects we should be cautious about?"
The Great Emperor Ziwei understood that since they were to cooperate with Emperor Jun, there must be things to be mindful of.
"Do not hastily eliminate Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, to avoid alarming bigger prey."
The Eastern King reminded.
This had to be said as he was worried that the Great Emperor Ziwei might take action against Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s heart was moved, and he uttered two words.
"Haotian."
"Correct, and also the Demon King."
The Eastern King noted.
"The Demon King?"
The crowd was puzzled.
They had never heard of this title—who was this person?
"An ancient entity even older than the Three Pure Ones, the true founder of the Demon Realm, who perhaps now has reached the Three Pure Ones’ level."
The Eastern King sighed.
He was one of the Twelve Kings of yore, almost the foremost among them.
In their era, the Demon King nearly broke into the realm of the Three Pure Ones.
Especially now, he has only become stronger, able to make the Three Pure Ones take him so seriously, he must already be someone of that realm.
The crowd looked at each other; they had never even heard of the Demon King.
If the Eastern King hadn’t mentioned this person, they would have thought the Demon Realm was opened by the united ancient Gods and Devils just to expel the True Evil Demons.
But now it seemed the true founder of the Demon Realm was indeed this so-called Demon King.
This person might be a powerhouse of the Three Pure Ones’ level.
No wonder when the Demon Realm’s entrance appeared, Lord Taishang pursued Tian Hao but did not enter the Demon Realm.
The Eastern King hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.
The Great Emperor Ziwei and others noticed it, understanding that the Eastern King had something to say but felt it was inappropriate.
If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t be showing such an expression.
"If the Eastern King has something to say, there is no need to hesitate; everyone here is trustworthy."
The Great Emperor Ziwei said.
Present were Yang Jian, Taibai, and Tianpeng. Although Tianpeng was a disciple of Lord Taishang, his stance was clear. If the interests of the Heavenly Court and Lord Taishang conflicted, he would side with the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, he was absolutely trustworthy.
As for Taibai and Yang Jian, one was the Second Heavenly Emperor, and the other the head of the civil officials.
Their relationship with the Great Emperor Ziwei was more than just ruler and subject; they were close friends and thus more worthy of trust.
The Eastern King slightly shook his head and said, "No, if there is anything I need to tell Your Majesty, I will come to you again."
The Great Emperor Ziwei did not force him, merely smiling and nodding.
The Eastern King then took his leave and departed.
The four began discussing matters regarding the cooperation with Emperor Jun.
Meanwhile, the Eastern King journeyed to the Mortal World, hurrying to the North Heavenly Pass.
The True Martial Great Emperor was cultivating when he sensed the arrival of the Eastern King.
He hurriedly went out to greet him, slightly cupping his hands in respect to the Eastern King.
"No need to be formal, True Martial Great Emperor, I’m just here to take a look."
The Eastern King said, his gaze falling upon the passage to the Demon Realm, with deep, penetrating eyes that seemed to see into its depths.
Zhu Long, who was nearby, also arrived, slightly cupping his hands, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Why had the Eastern King come here?
"Could it be that the Heavenly Court plans to conquer the Demon Realm?"
Zhu Long’s eyes lit up.
He harbored a deep grudge against Haotian.
If the Heavenly Court were to attack the Demon Realm, he would certainly be the first to charge in.
The Eastern King was amused by his words, shaking his head and saying, "Of course not, I’m merely here to observe the situation in the Demon Realm."
Zhu Long felt a bit disappointed and gloomily said, "If we’re not attacking the Demon Realm, what’s the point? I’ll continue my cultivation."
At this moment, Zhu Long’s entire obsession was to attack the Demon Realm and kill Haotian’s incarnation, Tian Hao, to claim a small bit of revenge.
"I must first congratulate Daoist Zhu Long on soon becoming Supreme."
The Eastern King said with a smile.
By now, Zhu Long had already half a foot into the Supreme rank.
It wouldn’t be long before he could become Supreme.
This would provide the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms with another Supreme level of combat power.
Zhu Long stood on the side of the Heavenly Court, a blessing for the Three Realms.
Zhu Long waved his hand, not particularly pleased.
He was well aware that even if he became Supreme, he wouldn’t be a match for those old Supremes.
As long as the Heavenly Court didn’t attack the Demon Realm, he had no way to seek revenge.
Zhu Long waved his hand, saying, "What use is being Supreme? I still can’t defeat you all."
After speaking, he didn’t wait for the Eastern King to respond, turning around and leaving, quite carefree.
The Eastern King chuckled silently; Zhu Long was indeed straightforward.
The True Martial Great Emperor’s eyes flickered; he understood that the Eastern King being here must have a purpose.
Since the Eastern King was unwilling to speak, he naturally would not pry.
"I won’t disturb True Martial Daoist further; I shall take my leave."
The Eastern King said with a smile, turning to depart.
Watching the Eastern King’s departing figure, the True Martial Great Emperor was lost in thought.
Then, he immediately ordered to reinforce the guards at the entrance to the Demon Realm; should anything happen, they would at least have time to respond.
Having done all this, the True Martial Great Emperor resumed his cultivation.
