Chapter 1252: Chapter 398: Three Madmen
The words of Zibaiqing were returned to him by Sun Wukong.
Moreover, Zibaiqing did not dare to respond.
The eyes of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi turned slightly cold, but in the end, he said nothing.
Under such circumstances, what more could be said?
If he dared to respond and claim he was not afraid, this monkey would certainly make a move.
Zibaiqing’s eyes flickered as he stared at the Great Emperor Ziwei and asked, "Great Emperor Ziwei, what do you think?"
The Great Emperor Ziwei glanced at him and said lightly, "I’ll let you off this time."
Zibaiqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Eastern Emperor Tai Yi and Tian Hao showed no change in their expressions, they too secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
They also didn’t want a fight. Given Sun Wukong’s undying body, along with his and Yang Jian’s combat power, heavily injuring even one of them wouldn’t be difficult.
The other two were facing the siege of four Heavenly Emperors; survival was impossible.
This battle was destined to be a lost cause; it mainly depended on whether the Great Emperor Ziwei was willing to sacrifice Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.
Clearly, the Great Emperor Ziwei was not willing for Sun Wukong and Yang Jian to come to harm.
So he gave up and did not make a move.
"If I find out that you collude with those enemies in the future, no matter the cost, I will exterminate you,"
the Great Emperor Ziwei said coldly.
Tian Hao sneered disdainfully, showing indifference on his face.
Zibaiqing displayed a simple and honest smile, took a puff from his pipe, and his rustic face was full of sincerity.
"Don’t worry, Great Emperor. We certainly won’t do that. Since we’ve already let you kill the Xie Long, we definitely won’t collude with those enemies from beyond the stars."
Of course, the words of Zibaiqing were not believed at all by the Great Emperor Ziwei and the others.
The Great Emperor Ziwei said lightly, "I hope you can keep your word."
After saying this, he turned to leave.
Sun Wukong sneered and prepared to leave with the Great Emperor Ziwei.
"Haha, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, we’ll be neighbors in the future. Let’s have more interactions."
The Martial King grinned.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s eyes turned somber.
He naturally understood that all these interactions the Martial King spoke of were not real exchanges; it implied that the other party would constantly cause trouble.
"Martial King, you’ve changed quite a bit. You even dare to threaten the strongest realm."
Zibaiqing said lightly.
Looking at Zibaiqing, the Martial King sneered and said, "As the son of the Purple Emperor, you’re actually walking with the enemy who killed your father. You’ve changed far more than I have."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The son of the Purple Emperor?
Who is this so-called Purple Emperor?
A Heavenly Emperor-level warrior in the strongest realm could only be called a King.
An Emperor naturally stood above a King.
So, this so-called Purple Emperor was most likely a Creation Realm powerhouse.
Zibaiqing was actually the son of the Purple Emperor, an offspring of a Creation Realm powerhouse.
All Creation Realm powerhouses of the strongest realm had been killed by those who destroyed the strongest realm.
In other words, Zibaiqing was collaborating with his father’s enemy.
No wonder the Martial King sneered, looking at Zibaiqing with disdain.
Zibaiqing’s eyes turned somber, but he said nothing.
Seeing him silent, the Martial King sneered, looking at Zibaiqing as if looking at garbage.
"Let’s go."
The Martial King turned and left.
Everyone departed, and before leaving, Emperor Jun looked at Eastern Emperor Tai Yi with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
They could strive and dominate the heavens, but they must know where they truly belonged.
Someone who could betray their homeland could never have a good end.
Even if the Three Realms were destroyed by the Xie Long lineage, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was doomed to a bad conclusion.
Similarly, Zibaiqing and Tian Hao were the same.
They might be proud now, but their end was destined to be tragic.
This was what set Emperor Jun apart from Eastern Emperor Tai Yi; although he was cruel, he had principles.
Moreover, he was no longer the sovereign of the heavens and relatively did not have any brutal conduct anymore.
Everything in the past was merely to solidify his rule, excluding dissenters.
At his current realm, he naturally had no interest in deliberately oppressing ordinary living beings.
No matter what, having Emperor Jun betray his land and cooperate with enemies was impossible.
The actions of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi made Emperor Jun disdainful.
He genuinely felt from the heart that someone with such behavior was doomed to a short-lived existence.
"Friend Emperor Jun, we should keep in contact, care for each other, and fight against those destroyers from beyond the stars. Although I, the Martial King, am not a being of the Three Realms or the strongest realm, now that I reside on the land of the Three Realms, it is my homeland, and I do not allow anyone to destroy it,"
the Martial King said to Emperor Jun.
This was a mighty existence, who, along with him, resided in the Western Continent.
Both could support each other. When dealing with Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, they could act together, rendering Eastern Emperor Tai Yi helpless, no matter how powerful he was.
"Good."
Emperor Jun’s expression was solemn.
"From now on, the Western Continent will rely on the two of you to keep watch,"
said the Great Emperor Ziwei.
The Martial King laughed, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. With the two of us here, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi can stir up no waves."
"What I am worried about is Haotian."
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression turned somewhat grave.
"Tian Hao betrayed Haotian, could they still join forces?"
Emperor Jun was somewhat surprised.
He wasn’t very familiar with Haotian, only knowing the other party was deeply strategic, and his strength was immeasurable.
However, Haotian’s character was extremely domineering. Could he truly tolerate Tian Hao’s betrayal?
Sun Wukong sneered and said, "What can’t that old guy do? He’s a madman. Underestimate a madman, and you’ll suffer greatly."
After all, Haotian Great Emperor wasn’t an ordinary madman but one with immense power; he might even have already stepped into the Creation Realm.
"Wukong is right, Haotian is just a madman. To this day, no one knows what he actually wants. All speculations about him are just that, speculations. His true purpose, even The Three Pure Ones wouldn’t dare to claim. That’s also why The Three Pure Ones dread him,"
Yang Jian said in a deep voice.
A person whom even The Three Pure Ones couldn’t fathom, given The Three Pure Ones’ cautious nature, would naturally clear away such an unpredictable factor.
"That’s true, The Three Pure Ones are extremely cautious about uncontrollable things. They probably discovered something,"
Emperor Jun nodded slightly.
The Martial King felt a stirring in his heart and suddenly said, "Were you talking about the Lord Taishang and others when you mentioned The Three Pure Ones just now?"
"Yes, why?"
Emperor Jun was somewhat surprised.
Did he say something wrong?
The Martial King was even more surprised. He couldn’t help but scoff, "Where is The Three Pure Ones calm? They’re clearly three madmen, renowned for their madness when they rose in the strongest realm. The Eastern King is even more clear about this than we are."
Everyone was surprised. Were The Three Pure Ones, known for their composure, actually famous for madness?
The Eastern King nodded, affirming the words of the Martial King.
Seeing the bemused expressions of the others, the Martial King said with a smile, "If those three guys ever act composed, it means they’re brewing something even crazier. You’ve all been fooled by them."
