785: Chapter 269: Ruthless Person_4 785: Chapter 269: Ruthless Person_4 Eventually, someone stepped forward and asked about the Heavenly Court’s attitude towards the Ancient Gods and Devils.
Sun Wukong remained silent, while Yang Jian stepped forward.
As a Judicial Deity in the Heavenly Court and the veritable Second Heavenly Emperor, Yang Jian’s words naturally gained many people’s trust.
His words represented the intentions of the Heavenly Court.
Everyone turned their gazes towards him, wanting to know Yang Jian’s thoughts.
Yang Jian said solemnly, “Gentlemen, according to the Heavenly Court, whether Ancient Gods and Devils or the beings of later generations, all are creatures between heaven and earth.
As long as you abide by the rules and do not violate the heavenly laws, the Heavenly Court will only protect you and will not harm you.”
Yang Jian’s gaze swept over the people; he spoke earnestly and authoritatively, “In the eyes of the Heavenly Court, you are all in fact children of the Heavenly Court, and whenever the Heavenly Court has acted, it has always been against those who defy the heavenly laws.”
Upon hearing Yang Jian’s words, the people appeared thoughtful.
It seemed that the Heavenly Court had never actively attacked them before.
It was always the Ancient Gods and Devils doing harm to living beings, and then the Heavenly Court intervened.
Realizing this, they began to feel somewhat relieved.
“Therefore, you need not be hostile towards the Heavenly Court or worry about being targeted.
To say something unpopular, the Heavenly Court deals with issues larger than specific groups, and as long as no one causes trouble, the Heavenly Court really does not wish to interfere with you.”
Hearing Yang Jian’s words, they also understood his point.
In fact, Yang Jian meant that the Heavenly Court does not target them because they are not important enough to be targeted.
Although this sounded harsh, they knew it was a fact.
Just now, another Supreme was killed, and those who took action were essentially from the ranks of the Heavenly Court.
Now even the Golden God, one of the Primordial’s ten fearsomes, appeared to be deliberately trying to ingratiate himself with Sun Wukong and the others.
The majesty of the Heavenly Court became increasingly startling.
They were not Supremes, and truly they were quite insignificant.
Probably only someone at the level of a Supreme would be regarded by the Heavenly Court.
As for them, they were really thinking too much – or to put it unkindly, they were suffering from paranoid delusions.
After realizing this, all the Ancient Gods and Devils were reassured.
Now that they knew the attitude of the Heavenly Court, they were no longer worried.
They raised their cups to Yang Jian and Sun Wukong and others, greeting them and wishing to forge connections with them.
At the same time, it was also possible to discern Sun Wukong’s true thoughts from this.
Some thoughts are inadvertently revealed, even if one tries to conceal them, it is impossible.
Sun Wukong welcomed everyone; he especially enjoyed making friends.
Although most friendships were not deep, there were a few who truly stood by each other through thick and thin.
These Ancient Gods and Devils were carrying different intentions, but Sun Wukong did not mind.
To say they were befriending Sun Wukong without wanting anything would be nonsense.
No one is that saintly; everyone has their own agenda.
It’s just that some people seek benefits, while others value noble character.
Only those who have truly been through things together can share life-and-death loyalty.
Although Yang Jian was quite easygoing, he always carried an aura that made people wary in his presence.
This related to his personal character, which was not surprising.
Seeing how Sun Wukong skillfully dealt with the Ancient Gods and Devils, being welcoming to everyone who approached him and making them feel valued, their eyes were filled with genuine goodwill.
No one would have thought that Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven who readily slays Supremes and the unruly top War God of the Three Realms, would be so approachable in real life.
Those who knew Sun Wukong were not surprised at all.
Before the Havoc in Heaven, Sun Wukong was brothers with all kinds of deities, his friends spread across the Three Realms.
Every deity who met him would call him the Great Saint, and such behavior was only too normal.
If Sun Wukong were not so adept at dealing with people, how could he have so many friends?
Even if they were fair-weather friends, it still showcased his formidable social skills.
