This displeased Sun Wukong, and he exploded in anger.
If someone were to say that the Heavenly Court was authoritarian, he would welcome it.
The Heavenly Court ruled over the Three Realms; if it weren’t sufficiently authoritarian, how could it keep these unruly Gods and Demons in check, and how could it make the Immortals who dared to challenge the heavens yield?
Following Sun Wukong’s words, Taotie and the others rushed forward immediately, surrounding the Dragon Hawk Ancestor and his followers.
The complexion of the Dragon Hawk Ancestor changed slightly as he stared at Sun Wukong and said coldly, “What do you mean by this?
Are you trying to intimidate us with your power?
You haven’t even asked whether the other Ancient Gods and Ancient Demons agree.”
Upon hearing the words of the Dragon Hawk Ancestor, those Ancient Gods and Demons turned and left, distancing themselves from the area.
“This matter doesn’t concern us, Dragon Hawk Ancestor.
You are the one dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court, not us.
Do not drag us into this.”
“Indeed, even if what the Heavenly Court does is questionable, they have their reasons.
Dragon Hawk Ancestor, you take things too seriously.
We don’t care either way.”
…
Those Ancient Gods were much too cunning to be easily deceived into becoming cannon fodder for the Dragon Hawk Ancestor.
Currently, the Heavenly Court held great power, having defeated the Primordial Phoenix not long ago.
The Ancient Gods and Demons here mostly came from lesser factions, many of whom were even Loose Cultivators.
In that era, they had already learned the importance of prudent self-preservation.
Not to mention that this matter didn’t concern them; even if it did, they would endure it.
What’s more important, losing face or one’s life?
These people were quite clear about that.
The Dragon Hawk Ancestor glared coldly when he heard their words.
These people had initially shown some sympathy, sharing a common enemy.
But when it finally came down to action, not a single reliable one was found; they retreated immediately.
Realizing this, he glared even colder.
“A bunch of useless creatures.”
He cursed, angered by their lack of fighting spirit.
The Ancient Gods and Devils remained unperturbed, and the Immortals were even less likely to assist the Dragon Hawk Ancestor.
The Immortals knew all too well the formidable power of Sun Wukong and the Heavenly Court.
For them to take action against the Heavenly Court was even harder than killing them.
“Today’s fault is mine; I shall take my leave.”
The Dragon Hawk Ancestor prepared to leave.
Since he hadn’t achieved his goal, he naturally didn’t wish to stay and fight Sun Wukong and the others to the death.
Their forces had been somewhat hasty, and he hadn’t anticipated that Sun Wukong would be so domineering.
Nezha wasn’t even allowed to make a move; at the slightest disagreement, all of them had to fight.
How could they possibly fight under these conditions?
“Did I say that you could leave?”
Sun Wukong coldly asked.
The Dragon Hawk Ancestor turned abruptly—he glared at Sun Wukong, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.
“What do you mean?”
He asked coldly, his gaze icy.
“Since you’ve come, there’s no need for you to leave.
You all harbor evil intentions, provoke the Heavenly Court, and plot misconduct; you should be executed.”
Sun Wukong coldly stated.
The Dragon Hawk Ancestor’s eyes flashed with astonishment as he stared at Sun Wukong and growled coldly, “Is the Heavenly Court so domineering?
Randomly convicting Living Beings, harming Ancient Gods?”
With a hint of a smile on his lips, Sun Wukong said lightly, “You are right.
The Heavenly Court is indeed domineering.
The Heavenly Court rules the Three Realms, not running a charity.
We protect those Living Beings who abide by the rules, but if anyone harbors evil intentions and defies the Heavenly Court, they certainly deserve our heavy-handedness, to be eradicated immediately.”
“What crime have I committed?
Which heavenly law have I violated?”
The Dragon Hawk Ancestor coldly said.
With a faint smile, Sun Wukong said, “If I say you are guilty, then you are guilty.”
The surrounding Ancient Gods and Demons were all stunned.
Could they be this unyielding?
Nezha had thought himself unruly enough, but only now did he understand what was truly authoritative and unruly.
No wonder he is called the Great Sage Equalling Heaven; such a temperament, such a manner truly lived up to his name.
The Dragon Hawk Ancestor knew that Sun Wukong was determined to kill him.
A shadow passed through his eyes, his gaze icy as it fell on Sun Wukong, and he smirked, “If you want to kill me, you should ask if the Ancient Gods and Demons present agree.”
Thereupon, the Dragon Hawk Ancestor turned around and called out to those watching Ancient Gods and Demons, “Everyone, today they treat me this way; tomorrow they will do the same to you.
Do you also want to be killed by the Heavenly Court for no reason?
If we don’t unite against the Heavenly Court now, there will soon be no place for me among the Three Realms.”
“I ask everyone to join forces and fight against this cruel modern Heavenly Court, to secure a place for us Ancient Gods and Demons in the Three Realms.”
His words were highly provocative, stirring the blood of even some Immortals, who felt sympathy for the Ancient Gods and Demons and perceived them as being targeted by the Great Saint and his party.
Even the Immortals thought that the actions of the Great Saint and his party were excessive.
Such oppression of the Ancient Gods and Demons was truly infuriating.
But soon, they sobered up and realized something was wrong.
Ever since their appearance, the Ancient Gods and Demons had plagued the Three Realms, causing the deaths of countless Immortals.
They were among the most dominant factions between heaven and earth, even forcing Immortals to retreat and avoid provoking them inadvertently.
Such Ancient Gods and Demons, where were they pitiable?
Moreover, hadn’t they provoked Sun Wukong and his party initially?
Now, presenting themselves pitifully and claiming that the Heavenly Court was persecuting them was simply laughable.
Upon realizing this, those people sobered up and looked at the Ancient Gods and Demons, their gaze tinged with coldness.
It was then that the Immortals realized, even as the Dragon Hawk Ancestor stirred them up, the Ancient Gods and Demons did not join him, nor showed any emotional fluctuation.
Instead, some Ancient Gods and Demons stepped back, clearly indicating that they had no association whatsoever with the Dragon Hawk Ancestor.
