Chapter 1278: Chapter 423: Reunion
The Senior Commander-in-Chief knows the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi too well, so he uses an advance as a retreat.
It seems to oppose the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, yet expresses his loyalty, which actually prevents the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi from acting against him.
However, the Senior Commander-in-Chief also has some hidden worries in his heart, unsure of how long he can fool the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
Since he has begun to suspect me, he certainly won’t let me go easily.
This time is just the beginning; in the future, I have to tread carefully, otherwise, I fear there’s no avoiding a dead end.
Thinking of this, the Senior Commander-in-chief feels a sense of sorrow for himself.
Clearly accompanying the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi for so long, being his right-hand man, living and dying with him, yet still being suspected, it’s absolutely impossible for him not to feel distressed.
I should find myself a way out; no one is born to die for anyone.
Especially now, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi does not trust him at all.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, the Senior Commander-in-Chief maintains his composure outwardly.
The Lord of the Clouds scrutinizes the expression of the Senior Commander-in-Chief, lost in thought.
…
At Emperor Jun’s base, Sun Wukong arrives with Lord Taiyin.
Immediately, many people are alarmed.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow appears first and glares at Lord Taiyin, ready to strike.
Displaying Supreme Level strength, he is even more powerful than before, advancing further in the Supreme Level.
“You traitor, how dare you return? I’ll kill you.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow roars, and without hesitation, assaults Lord Taiyin.
The immense killing intent sweeps across the world, showing no mercy.
Lord Taiyin’s face changes as she is enveloped by the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s killing intent, finding it difficult to escape with her current power.
Sun Wukong raises an eyebrow, anticipating the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s aggression, but not expecting him to act so decisively, striking as soon as Lord Taiyin appears.
This allows no chance for Lord Taiyin to react, aiming to kill her.
If Lord Taiyin had returned alone, she would indeed be in grave danger.
However, his cunning plan is doomed to fail.
Sun Wukong intervenes, blocking the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
He doesn’t use the Jingu Bang, simply throws a punch, and Immortal Light shoots up into the sky, halting the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
“Get lost.”
Sun Wukong lightly commands, filled with strong dissatisfaction.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s eyes are cold, he ignores the command, quickly moving to bypass Sun Wukong and kill Lord Taiyin.
Seeing his relentless pursuit, Sun Wukong’s face turns stern.
A flash of brilliance, the Jingu Bang appears in hand, and Sun Wukong sweeps it out.
Clang.
The battle sword in the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s hand blocks the blow, but he himself is forced to retreat.
A hint of fear flashes in his eyes, as the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow realizes that Sun Wukong’s strength has surpassed his own.
However, he is unwilling to give up, insisting on killing the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
“Stop.”
Emperor Jun’s voice resounds, carrying strong displeasure.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s heart is filled with unwillingness, he looks at Lord Taiyin with hatred but ultimately does not continue to attack.
Sun Wukong smiles faintly and puts away the Jingu Bang.
Emperor Jun and the two Empresses appear.
Seeing them, Lord Taiyin involuntarily lowers her head.
Sun Wukong, however, laughs and says, “Emperor Jun, if you didn’t show up, Old Sun would be suspicious of your intentions, thinking you’re deliberately tricking Old Sun, luring Lord Taiyin over to kill.”
Emperor Jun smiles slightly and says, “Great Saint misunderstands, there is no such intention. It’s just that we haven’t informed Little Ten yet, he doesn’t know.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow already understands what’s going to happen but pretends not to know, respectfully asking, “Father, what does this mean?”
“We plan to bring your sister back, and we are still a family. Do not attack Taiyin again.”
Emperor Jun says blandly.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow looks shocked and says in disbelief, “Father, you forgave Taiyin? She betrayed you. If it weren’t for Taiyin back then, we wouldn’t have lost so badly. How can you forgive her?”
Emperor Jun glances at him, somewhat disdainful of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s words.
“The loss back then was due to the Three Pure Ones’ power, what significant role could your sister Taiyin have played? Her strength, though it had a bit of impact, was ultimately negligible. The defeat back then was due to the great trend, the world needs evolution, naturally, it renews itself, just as we replaced Haotian, a new Divine Court will naturally replace us.”
Sun Wukong is somewhat surprised that Emperor Jun can say such words.
He cannot help but praise, “Emperor Jun, you are indeed extraordinary, grasping such wisdom, it seems your Dao has greatly increased, reaching the Creation Realm is only a matter of time.”
Upon hearing this, even Xihe and others cannot help but turn their heads.
No wonder Emperor Jun is willing to forgive Taiyin, even actively wanting her to return; he has made another breakthrough.
Emperor Jun does not deny it, only smiles faintly and says, “Great Saint is too kind. Taiyin, come over and greet your mother. She has been much tormented these years, torn between concern for you and needing to show indifference and resentment toward you in front of me, truly difficult for her.”
Changxi is shocked, both surprised and a bit ashamed, not realizing her thoughts were all known by the emperor.
The main thing is, she thought the emperor didn’t know, believing she hid it well.
Hearing this, Lord Taiyin shivers inwardly; is it really like this?
If so, she truly is too unfilial.
Lord Taiyin approaches Changxi, kneels before her, her voice choking.
“Unfilial daughter greets mother.”
Changxi embraces her without speaking, but tears stream down
Emperor Jun’s dignified face shows a hint of a smile.
His gaze falls again on the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, full of warning.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow trembles inwardly and immediately lowers his head submissively.
Yet he understands in his heart that he cannot cause trouble for Taiyin anymore.
Seeing father’s intent, he is actually protecting Taiyin.
This makes his heart heavy; it seems from now on, he needs to restore his relationship with Taiyin.
“It’s joyful and congratulatory for friends’ family reunion. Old Sun won’t disturb you further and takes his leave.”
Sun Wukong bids farewell decisively and leaves.
With Emperor Jun’s attitude, he naturally isn’t worried.
Emperor Jun slightly bows his hand, as a farewell gesture.
Then, they lead Lord Taiyin back, and the family is indeed harmonious.
Some of Emperor Jun’s subordinates also feel awkward.
In their hearts, Taiyin has always been a traitor.
However, after hearing Emperor Jun’s explanation, they actually accept it.
The defeat of the Divine Dynasty back then was due to the great trend, the power of the Three Pure Ones, not Taiyin’s fault.
She just chose to stand on the side of all beings at that time.
Sun Wukong had just left the Western Continent when a voice called out to him.
“It’s you.”
Sun Wukong turns around, his expression somewhat surprised.
