Chapter 1088: Chapter 330: Zhunti Is Taken Away (4)
The Eastern Emperor Tai Yi also smiled and said.
Seeing their demeanor, even though they sensed the possibility of Zhunti’s death, they weren’t too concerned, instead appearing to admire the Great Emperor Ziwei.
This left many puzzled, as earlier Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s regard for Zhunti wasn’t an act.
Now that Zhunti is about to die, they surprisingly seem indifferent.
Is this what the Heavenly Emperor is like?
No one could fathom what the two were thinking.
"Ji Meng, Senior Commander-in-Chief, you two head to Huaguo Mountain, capture the people there, but don’t force it. If there are strong defenders there, retreat immediately."
Emperor Jun commanded.
"We respectfully follow the Heavenly Emperor’s decree."
"Yes."
Ji Meng and the Senior Commander-in-Chief stood up.
They headed to Huaguo Mountain, and everyone was waiting.
If they could capture the people of Huaguo Mountain, it would be the best outcome, surely Zhunti could be exchanged back.
But if they couldn’t capture them, they wouldn’t mind.
The two deities arrived at Huaguo Mountain, they restrained their aura and concealed their presence.
Both the Senior Commander-in-Chief and Ji Meng were well aware that Huaguo Mountain sat within the East Sea, where the Ancestral Dragon dwelled.
If they came with much fanfare, they would surely be sensed by the Ancestral Dragon.
At that point, trying to take down Huaguo Mountain wouldn’t be so easy.
The Ancestral Dragon blocking the two of them wouldn’t be a problem.
Even without any strong beings from the Heavenly Court, Huaguo Mountain would remain unharmed.
They approached Huaguo Mountain and suddenly made their move.
The two enveloped Huaguo Mountain with Great Divine Power, intending to move it away directly.
If they could avoid fighting, it would naturally be ideal.
However, despite their casting of mana, Huaguo Mountain remained immovable.
The heavenly regulations were set down, locking Huaguo Mountain.
They exchanged glances, the Heavenly Court indeed had precautions.
Yet, as no one appeared, the two did not immediately leave.
They exerted even greater magical power, aiming to break through the heavenly regulations.
"Heh heh."
A light chuckle echoed, and the Great Emperor Ziwei appeared.
He stood atop Huaguo Mountain, his gaze fixating on the two.
"What do you two mean by this?"
Ji Meng and the Senior Commander-in-Chief were instantly startled.
They hadn’t anticipated that the Great Emperor Ziwei would personally be stationed atop Huaguo Mountain.
"I fail to understand, the renowned First Marshal under Emperor Jun’s command, coming to steal from Huaguo Mountain. Senior Commander-in-Chief, I heard that you are the foremost official under the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, how do you partake in such petty deeds."
The voice of the Ancestral Dragon resonated.
He and the Great Emperor Ziwei were stationed at Huaguo Mountain.
Even if Emperor Jun himself came, Huaguo Mountain might remain untouched.
Ji Meng and the Senior Commander-in-Chief exchanged looks and, without a word, turned and left.
The Great Emperor Ziwei had initially intended to get some words from them, but the two left directly, catching them somewhat by surprise.
"Emperor Jun has abandoned Zhunti."
The Ancestral Dragon said in a deep voice.
He couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling Zhunti was undeserving.
Zhunti, one of the giants of the Buddhist Sect, had sought allegiance with Emperor Jun.
Who would have thought, Emperor Jun would abandon him so easily.
If he had known beforehand, he surely wouldn’t have chosen to ally with Emperor Jun.
Compared to the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun seemed utterly heartless and unjust.
Such a person is not worth aligning with.
"A heartless and unrighteous person, no matter how much they pretend to value talent from lower ranks, can never hide their true nature, what they truly are cannot be concealed."
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression showed some disdain.
He held Emperor Jun in low regard.
He continued to guard Huaguo Mountain, both drinking Monkey Wine from Huaguo Mountain, until Sun Wukong returned, he would not leave.
For Sun Wukong working for the Heavenly Court, if his lair were to be raided, he wouldn’t dare face Sun Wukong again.
So, Huaguo Mountain cannot afford any mishap.
