Trapped by such schemes, he was undoubtedly doomed to die.
The Water God bid farewell and returned to the Heavenly Court.
She reported Sun Wukong’s encounter to the Great Emperor Ziwei, which immediately enraged the emperor.
“Yinghuo, the demon, dares to target an important member of my Heavenly Court, he must be executed, Yang Jian.”
“Your servant is here.”
Yang Jian stood up, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
He, too, had been angered by Yinghuo’s recklessness.
Previously, Ziwei had said that if Yinghuo did not commit evil, he would not harm him and would treat him as a normal creature among the Three Realms.
But Yinghuo dared to strike at Sun Wukong and even conspired with Shao Siming and the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow.
This had already crossed the Great Emperor Ziwei’s bottom line, he absolutely could not tolerate it.
It would be truly strange if Great Emperor Ziwei did not act against him.
“Monitor the Three Realms and locate Yinghuo.
If found, kill without mercy.”
“Yes.”
Yang Jian took the order and immediately began to arrange.
The Heavenly Court now had the boldness to swing the executioner’s blade at the Supreme.
“Water Primordial Emperor, be assured, since the Heavenly Court has set its sights on Yinghuo, he will not live much longer,” said the Great Emperor Ziwei proudly.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The Water God thanked him and then departed.
With the assurance of the Great Emperor Ziwei and Sun Wukong, it seemed exceedingly likely that Yinghuo would not escape this time.
She returned to her mansion, but her Divine Thought kept searching the Three Realms.
If she discovered Yinghuo’s whereabouts, the Water God would undoubtedly rush to kill him at the first opportunity.
Above the East Sea, a waterway parted, and Ao Guang arrived, smiling broadly.
“Old Dragon King, where are you headed?”
Sun Wukong asked with a smile.
Ao Guang gave a bitter smile and said, “I have come to seek out the Great Saint.”
Sun Wukong smiled and said, “It has been a long time since we met.
It’s good that you came to seek Old Sun.
Let’s find a place to drink.”
Having said that, he grabbed Ao Guang and was about to fly off.
Nu Ba smirked slightly.
It was clear to her that Sun Wukong was doing this deliberately.
Ao Guang’s purpose in seeking Sun Wukong was definitely not as simple as going for a drink.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be an invitation from the Ancestral Dragon for Sun Wukong to attend a banquet.
The last time, things had ended on an unhappy note, and even Ao Zhan was quite dissatisfied with the Ancestral Dragon and had not returned for a long time.
As for Taotie and the other two, after taking positions in the Heavenly Court, they were even less willing to return to the Dragon Clan.
Being born out of wedlock, they had low status within the Dragon Clan.
Rather than returning to face disrespect, they preferred to stay at ease within the Heavenly Court.
Though they were under Great Emperor Ziwei, he did not supervise them closely, and their positions were particularly leisurely and comfortable.
Taotie and the others were now somewhat reluctant to think of going back.
Besides, the private demeanor of the Great Emperor Ziwei hardly carried any solemnity; he treated them more like friends.
Where could they find such comfortable days?
Sun Wukong had once again fought a Supreme, stepping into the ranks of the Great Heavenly Venerate and was now among the highest-tier of powerhouses between heaven and earth.
Even the Supreme beside him was merely on an equal footing with Sun Wukong.
Let’s not forget another of Sun Wukong’s titles, that of the emperor’s spouse, although it was meant in jest by the Immortals, Buddhas, and divine beings of the Three Realms, it still illustrated the relationship between Sun Wukong and Great Emperor Ziwei.
For the Dragon Clan not to forge good relations with such a person but instead to offend him was simply foolish.
The Ancestral Dragon was no fool; relying on strength alone to develop the Dragon Clan into the strongest race of The Primordial was impossible.
He now wished to mend relations with Sun Wukong.
Ao Guang quickly said, “Great Saint, no need to jest about the Old Dragon King.
With your wisdom, you should have realized the purpose of my visit.
I am here by the command of the Ancestral Dragon to invite the Great Saint and Princess Nu Ba to attend a banquet.”
Sun Wukong’s expression turned slightly cold.
He said nothing because he did not wish to lash out at Ao Guang.
No matter how the Ancestral Dragon and others treated him, the personal relationship between him and Ao Guang could not be faulted.
If Sun Wukong openly rebuked Ao Guang, it would be dishonorable.
Patted Ao Guang on the shoulder, Sun Wukong smiled and said, “Old Dragon King, you know Old Sun isn’t fond of noise and I’m not familiar with other members of the Dragon Clan, so I’d rather not attend the banquet.
How about this, Old Sun will have Ziwei send some Heavenly Court Jade Liquor Dewdrop and arrange some Heavenly Court delicacies, and we can all have a meal together.”
Ao Guang looked distressed and a bit anxious.
He understood Sun Wukong’s intentions and did not want to make it difficult for him.
However, if he failed to bring Sun Wukong, he would surely be reprimanded by the Ancestral Dragon.
Seeing his anxious expression, Nu Ba suddenly smiled warmly and softly suggested, “Great Saint, I’m actually looking forward to the delicacies of the Dragon Palace.
Why not make a trip to the Dragon Palace and not let down the Old Dragon King’s enthusiasm, what do you think?”
“But…”
Sun Wukong hesitated for a moment, but seeing Nu Ba’s look of resignation, he smiled.
He ruffled Nu Ba’s hair and changed his tone, “You’re quite generous.
Alright, we’ll go taste the food at the Dragon Palace.
Old Dragon King, let me be clear, if the Dragon Palace’s food does not suit Nu Ba’s taste, Old Sun will turn around and leave.”
Seeing Sun Wukong agree, Ao Guang finally relaxed.
He hurriedly glanced at Nu Ba, knowing quite clearly that if it were not for Nu Ba, Sun Wukong definitely would not have agreed, especially considering the unpleasantness of their last encounter.
Even now, Sun Wukong had not yet gotten over it.
Ao Guang sighed in his heart, realizing that Nu Ba and Sun Wukong had developed a closer relationship.
Poor his daughter, still in the Purple Bamboo Forest, oblivious to everything.
It seemed he needed to inform his daughter, to give her another chance.
