839: Chapter 282: Duel to the Death 839: Chapter 282: Duel to the Death Fahai pointed at himself, a cold smile finally appearing on his face.
“I am quite formidable now, aren’t I?”
“Indeed.
Even among the countless Supremes in the Three Realms now, you are a top-tier expert.
Given your progress in cultivation, it won’t be difficult to match the likes of Teng Snake in the future.”
Lu Dongbin nodded.
Fahai’s improvement was palpable to everyone.
This monk with an alarming killing intent was arguably the fastest at cultivation in Huaguo Mountain, aside from Sun Wukong.
Of course, Ksitigarbha’s teachings played a significant role in this.
If it weren’t for Ksitigarbha’s guidance, his improvement wouldn’t have been so substantial.
Fahai deemed himself unworthy of that White Snake, a thought that made him self-deprecating.
Lu Dongbin, however, thought that the White Snake might not be worthy of Fahai.
Fahai is destined to become one of the top powerhouses in the Three Realms in the future.
No doubt about it, as long as he continues to cultivate step by step, he’ll at least become a Sub-Paramount.
With such strength, equivalent to Teng Snake, why couldn’t he marry that White Snake?
In contrast, Bai Suzhen’s strength isn’t formidable enough, making her seem a bit unworthy of Fahai.
“I understand.”
Fahai said with a smile.
Lu Dongbin pulled him, heading towards the palace.
“What are you doing?”
Fahai shrugged off Lu Dongbin’s hand.
“To see the Great Saint, to propose on your behalf.
Aren’t you fond of that White Snake?
If the Great Saint’s influence isn’t enough, we can have him ask Great Emperor Ziwei and others to mediate.
I doubt Lady of Mount Li and Teng Snake would dare disregard the Supreme of the Three Realms.”
Lu Dongbin chuckled.
He was quite confident and enjoyed stirring things up.
Fahai, however, shook his head slightly, saying: “This is my matter.
There’s no need to trouble the Great Saint.
According to what you said, I can handle it myself.
Rest assured.”
“Are you sure?”
Lu Dongbin stared at him suspiciously, feeling it might be unreliable.
Handle it himself?
He can’t be serious.
Fahai smiled faintly, saying: “Naturally, it’s not a problem.
You said it yourself; I’m not lacking anything myself.
There’s no need to worry about anything.
I don’t think Teng Snake and Lady of Mount Li would trouble me.”
Lu Dongbin looked at him strangely, thinking Fahai was overly confident.
Although his words implied this, truly executing it might be challenging.
But seeing Fahai’s determined face, Lu Dongbin thought perhaps it was best to let him suffer a bit; maybe he’d understand.
All the immortals left, the people of Huaguo Mountain remained.
Before long, someone secretly returned; it was Great Emperor Ziwei and Yang Jian.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve fought.
I hope those Supremes don’t disappoint me.”
Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile.
He had discerned that the Heavenly Wolf Supreme and others would likely return to attack Kunlun.
Therefore, he and Yang Jian pretended to return to the Heavenly Court, but quickly turned back to Kunlun.
The Queen Mother was now his subordinate; those Supremes daring to target Kunlun clearly didn’t take him seriously.
Sun Wukong lightly raised his eyebrows, saying: “You are quite astute.
I was worried there were too many Supremes on the opposing side.
Now, with you and Brother Yang Jian here, we can repel them.”
The Queen Mother thanked Great Emperor Ziwei and Yang Jian.
She knew well that even with the Eastern King and Sun Wukong here, if the Heavenly Wolf Supreme and others rallied more than four Supremes, they couldn’t hold them off and might even face danger.
Those Supremes from the Primordial era were tremendously capable.
Great Emperor Ziwei smiled, saying calmly: “Rest assured, I have made arrangements.
If it comes to it, the Water God and others will act, and Suiren and Tathagata have been notified.
If these Primordial Supremes wish to stir trouble, they are blatantly disrespecting the Heavenly Court.”
Sun Wukong smiled.
With this setup, he could rest easy.
He sensed the aura of the Heavenly Wolf Supreme’s departure, likely involving just four Supremes.
Even if they managed to find another Supreme, it would only make five.
With five Supremes, the current arrangements would easily crush them.
“Your Majesty has become a Supreme, hasn’t he?”
The Eastern King suddenly said.
The Queen Mother was moved, her gaze falling on Great Emperor Ziwei.
Great Emperor Ziwei smiled slightly, saying: “By luck, I recently broke through.
I didn’t want to trouble anyone, so I haven’t announced it publicly, not deliberately hiding.”
Hearing Great Emperor Ziwei’s words, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but laugh.
“I think you hid it on purpose, hoping to catch someone off guard.
But no one provoking the Heavenly Court left you disappointed, didn’t it?”
Great Emperor Ziwei laughed as well.
Sun Wukong was right; that was his intention.
“Ahem, don’t portray me as so sinister.
I’m not that type of person.”
Great Emperor Ziwei said, laughing himself.
To be upright and reliable was in the past.
Since the last sneak attack on Thunderous Heavenly Venerate, everyone said he couldn’t be trusted and wasn’t upright anymore.
Now, in some people’s minds, Ziwei is regarded as cunning.
Sun Wukong pouted, knowing Ziwei well.
Though kind-hearted, he’s not rigid.
Knowing what to do at each moment, his mind was clear.
“I hope they act quickly.”
Great Emperor Ziwei said.
The Heavenly Court needed him to be present; if anyone found he wasn’t there, they’d think he was in Kunlun.
At that moment, scheming would be nearly impossible.
“They can’t contain themselves.
They won’t allow Kunlun to prepare; they’ll attack Kunlun by surprise, likely coming soon.”
