741: Chapter 261: Counter-killing the Supreme_6 741: Chapter 261: Counter-killing the Supreme_6 Nezha really wanted to talk with Yang Jian, but he knew he still had a mission on his shoulders.
So, he had to suppress the urge to leave with Yang Jian.
Sun Wukong gave Nezha a peculiar look and couldn’t help saying, “Nezha, I think I understand why you don’t like women.”
“Why?”
Nezha glared, always feeling that nothing good could come out of Sun Wukong’s mouth.
Indeed, Sun Wukong said, “I think you like men.
The way you looked at Yang Jian just now, it was just like looking at a lover about to part—tsk tsk, Old Sun should remind Yang Jian to be a bit more careful.”
Although Nezha knew Sun Wukong never had anything nice to say, he still got riled up.
He glared at Sun Wukong and threw his Qiankun Ring straight at him.
“Nonsense!
You monkey, always speaking disrespectfully!”
Taotie’s eyes widened, and he said discontentedly, “Hey, watch your words.”
Nezha was originally a bit embarrassed since he really had misspoken, forgetting that Taotie and the others were the sons of the Ancestral Dragon.
But upon hearing Taotie’s words, he immediately became irritated.
“My name is Nezha, not ‘that Thor,’ your whole family are ‘that Thors.’ Watch your mouth, or this Crown Prince will give you a good beating.”
The next moment, Taotie, Qiuniu, and Xiezhi closed in on Nezha, all with dangerous expressions on their faces.
“‘That Thor,’ who do you want to beat up?”
Taotie readied his fists.
Nezha: “Actually, I think ‘that Thor’ isn’t a bad name.
If you big brothers like it, then it’s fine.”
Sun Wukong distanced himself from Nezha, feeling too embarrassed to stay too close to him.
After that, they found a place and began to heal.
This time, everyone’s injuries were severe, and although they had temporarily taken Immortal Pills to treat some of it,
they still needed to seriously heal to fully recover.
Otherwise, they might sustain hidden injuries that could later affect their cultivation—now that would be troublesome.
“Great Saint, we will protect you while you’re here,” one of the Heavenly Venerates spoke; they didn’t know what else they should be doing.
They were of no use in a fight; those who dared to attack them were either Sub-Paramounts or true Supremes, and they couldn’t even provide any help.
Trying to step in would just be a hindrance.
But Sun Wukong shook his head, saying, “No need, you continue to patrol the Three Realms.
If any Ancient Gods and Devils cause trouble, execute them on the spot.”
“Are we capable?”
The Heavenly Venerate started to panic a bit.
After witnessing true powerhouses, they lacked confidence in themselves.
If they encountered a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate, they’d be finished.
Not to mention facing Sub-Paramounts and Supremes, they were even less of a match.
Sun Wukong laughed, patted the Heavenly Venerate’s shoulder, and said, “Don’t worry.
At least for a while, it’s unlikely anyone will dare to cause trouble.
The troublemakers have been taken care of by us; most of what remains are good citizens.”
Seeing Sun Wukong so confident, the Heavenly Venerate felt at ease.
In fact, they were worrying too much.
If a Great Heavenly Venerate did evil—barring something huge like slaughtering a city—it was generally hard for them to notice.
So, they wouldn’t encounter it.
Plus, Sun Wukong and the others had killed several Sub-Paramounts and even dealt with a Supreme in the past few days.
If anyone dared to cause trouble for the Heavenly Court now, that would truly be foolish.
So, now is the safest time.
The few Heavenly Venerates left with their subordinates, while Sun Wukong and the others were all healing.
“Should we launch a surprise attack and kill that monkey?”
Primordial Phoenix and Ancestral Qilin stood together, and she asked Ancestral Qilin.
Ancestral Qilin hesitated for a moment but then shook his head.
“Even if we’re to kill Sun Wukong, it shouldn’t be us who act.
Do you really not fear the Heavenly Court seeking retribution?”
Primordial Phoenix sneered, her expression disdainful, saying, “Fear what Heavenly Court?
We are supremes from the Primordial era.
At that time, who even knew where the Heavenly Court was?
Why should I heed their words?”
Primordial Phoenix’s face was full of cold laughter.
After looking at Primordial Phoenix, Ancestral Qilin slightly shook his head and sighed, saying, “Such words are fine to say to oneself, to feel good, but never utter them where many are gathered.
If the Heavenly Court catches wind of this, you’ll have a hard time.”
Primordial Phoenix found it unbelievable that Ancestral Qilin held such reverence for the Heavenly Court to this extent.
Ancestral Qilin glanced at Primordial Phoenix, knowing she couldn’t understand his rationale.
With a faint smile, Ancestral Qilin said, “Today’s events are not as simple as you think.
I have a feeling that we’ve been made pawns, potentially caught up in the conflicts of those at Elder Lord’s level.
If you don’t want to die, it’s best you heed my advice and stay out of it, to protect yourself wisely.”
“Impossible.
In this Heaven and Earth, aside from Elder Lord and his peers, who else has such power?
I’ve never heard of any.”
Primordial Phoenix simply didn’t believe it.
“After the creation of Heaven and Earth, there was none, but what about before Heaven and Earth were created?”
At these words, like thunderclaps, they exploded in Primordial Phoenix’s mind.
“As beings born in the Primordial, we were formed as Heaven and Earth were established, but we only know of matters after the creation.
Do you know what happened before Heaven and Earth were created?”
Primordial Phoenix didn’t speak.
If she knew, would Ancestral Qilin need to ask her?
“Learn from the turtle once in a while.
Retracting one’s head isn’t always a shameful act.
Surviving is what truly matters.”
Having said that, Ancestral Qilin turned and left, leaving Primordial Phoenix alone there.
Primordial Phoenix took one deep look at Sun Wukong and his group before turning to leave.
She was well aware that if she couldn’t kill Sun Wukong in a short time, any further action would only lead to undesirable outcomes.
If the Heavenly Court were alerted, her Phoenix Clan would suffer the consequences.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, Primordial Phoenix understood that the Heavenly Court had the power to annihilate their Phoenix Clan.
After Primordial Phoenix left, Sun Wukong opened his eyes.
He had actually sensed someone spying, so he never went into deep meditation.
Now that Primordial Phoenix had left, that feeling of being watched finally disappeared.
Sun Wukong then began healing.
In the battle, both he and the Primordial Demonic Qi had suffered tremendous losses.
However, when Sun Wukong looked inward, he discovered that the Primordial Demonic Qi was surprisingly abundant.
The mana it contained hadn’t decreased; instead, it had increased.
How could this be?
Sun Wukong was astonished.
After the massive battle today, the Primordial Demonic Qi had been drained to an alarming degree.
Even if the Primordial Demonic Qi hadn’t been depleted, it should have dimmed slightly, at least.
Yet, the Primordial Demonic Qi showed no such change but looked as if it had been well-fed, with a luster flowing over the entire Primordial Demonic Qi.
The Primordial Demonic Qi vibrated, and a thought entered Sun Wukong’s mind.
Sun Wukong revealed a look of surprise, as it turned out to be so.
