Yinghuo was definitely considered one of the most ferocious stars of the Primordial era, mainly because of his cunning and deceitful nature, stopping at nothing.
He had no limits.
The number of strong beings who died at the hands of Yinghuo was countless.
Even the Ancestral Dragon was quite wary of Yinghuo.
If he targeted Sun Wukong, then Wukong would truly be in danger.
To actually be Yinghuo, the Ancestral Dragon’s expression became slightly grave, and he said in a heavy voice, “If it really is Yinghuo, the Great Saint must be careful.
Yinghuo is one of the most vicious people from the Primordial era, and is without limits.
No living being targeted by him has survived.”
Seeing that Sun Wukong still looked calm, the Ancestral Dragon said with a wry smile, “The Great Saint indeed has strong resolve.
Even I would worry and likely become restless if targeted by Yinghuo.
Great Saint, you mustn’t take this lightly.”
“Is Yinghuo that terrifying?”
Sun Wukong asked with a smile.
Nodding emphatically, the Ancestral Dragon said in a deep voice, “He is even more dreadful than the Great Saint could imagine.
Moreover, Yinghuo has several friends who are Supremes.
If Yinghuo is indeed alive, or rather, he never fell, then those people are mostly still alive too.
Should they join forces to set a trap for the Great Saint, it would be dangerous.”
Several Supremes, Sun Wukong’s heart trembled.
This was indeed worrisome.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong said with a smile, “No matter, even if he sets a trap, I have to step into it for it to work.”
Seeing his confident demeanor, the Ancestral Dragon hesitated to speak further.
But since Sun Wukong wasn’t worried, he had no more to say.
“Since the Great Saint is confident, I won’t say much else.
If there’s anything you need my help with, just say the word.
The Dragon Clan has returned to the Heavenly Court, and we are also considered a branch of the Heavenly Court,” the Ancestral Dragon said with a smile.
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised as he pondered the Ancestral Dragon’s intentions.
What exactly was he trying to do?
To improve relations with him while emphasizing that the Dragon Clan was part of the Heavenly Court.
Could it be that the Ancestral Dragon wanted to ally with the Heavenly Court and fully integrate himself with it?
That possibility was not out of the question.
After all, the Three Realms were now in chaos, the Primordial Gods and Demons had revived, who knows how many powerful beings lurked in hiding.
And there were unknown powerful beings stirring up the entire Three Realms.
The origins of the Black Robe Supreme remained a mystery; even the likes of Eastern King had no idea who he was.
Being a Supreme, who then is backing him?
Just how many powerful beings are hiding in the Three Realms?
Are The Three Pure Ones and the Supreme Ancestral Demon truly the only ones at that highest echelon of power?
It used to be certain, but now it wasn’t so sure.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Sun Wukong’s expression remained serene.
This earned the sons of the Ancestral Dragon’s admiration; if they were targeted by Yinghuo, they definitely would not be as composed as Sun Wukong and would likely be in a state of panic.
Sun Wukong’s composure impressed them greatly.
Nu Ba sat beside Sun Wukong, elegant and noble, yet with a vigorous spirit.
Though she was only a Heavenly Venerate, the aura she exuded was on par with the top Great Heavenly Venerates.
It was only then that the people of the Dragon Clan seriously regarded this Human Princess.
They realized they had truly underestimated Nu Ba before.
In terms of strength and grace, Nu Ba was far superior to the Lady Dragon of Wealth.
They had previously looked down upon Nu Ba, and now, in retrospect, it seemed quite ridiculous.
This Human Princess was truly extraordinary.
In fact, she was stronger than these sons of the Ancestral Dragon, lacking in nothing.
Here they were talking about innate talent; if at the same Realm, they might not even be a match for Nu Ba.
Realizing this, they finally looked at Nu Ba with a bit of respect, no longer holding any disdain.
At any time, only the truly strong can command respect.
This banquet ended up being a joyful occasion for both guests and host.
The relationship between Sun Wukong and the Dragon Clan also eased slightly.
Before leaving, the Ancestral Dragon transmitted a secret to Sun Wukong.
“Lord of Heaven Ancestor is one of Yinghuo’s good friends; the Primordial Qilin might possibly be connected to Yinghuo,” he said.
Sun Wukong took note of this but merely nodded slightly.
As for immediately seeking trouble with Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the Primordial Qilin, Sun Wukong naturally would not do so.
He did not trust the Ancestral Dragon completely; he still pondered the words of the Ancestral Dragon.
Sun Wukong worried that the Ancestral Dragon might be using him to strike at Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the Primordial Qilin.
After all, his understanding of the Ancestral Dragon was not comprehensive.
He was unclear about the Ancestral Dragon’s true character.
Regarding Lord of Heaven Ancestor, there was plenty of time to investigate or to have the Water God keep an eye on him.
If he could indeed make a breakthrough from there and find Yinghuo, that would be excellent.
After all, Lord of Heaven Ancestor was considered an enemy.
The last time he blocked the Heavenly Court’s gate, preventing reinforcements from arriving, did he really think it was forgotten?
Sun Wukong sneered inwardly; how could he possibly forget?
While his mind churned with thoughts, Sun Wukong’s gaze flickered non-stop.
“Great Saint, what’s wrong?”
Nu Ba asked curiously, aware that something must have happened, otherwise, Sun Wukong wouldn’t be acting this way.
Sun Wukong shared what was transmitted by the Ancestral Dragon.
Nu Ba’s heart stirred as she suspiciously said, “I feel like this time the Ancestral Dragon invited us not to ease relations, but his true purpose lies in those last words.
Is the Ancestral Dragon trying to use the Great Saint to deal with Lord of Heaven Ancestor and the Primordial Qilin?”
Sun Wukong said with a smile, “It seems I’m not the only one with this impression.”
