Chapter 935: Chapter 298: Thrown into Hell_2
“Let’s go.”
The Wood God said, and immediately withdrew.
He was decisive, retreating as soon as he realized the situation was hopeless, without wasting any time.
Seeing the Wood God’s retreat, the Great Emperor Ziwei snorted coldly, clearly displeased.
He wanted to spar with the Wood God. He didn’t expect the opponent to run away without even engaging in combat.
This left the Great Emperor Ziwei quite dissatisfied.
Originally, he wanted to gauge the gap between himself and the top ten strong men of the Primordial by fighting the Wood God. Unfortunately, the opponent didn’t give him this opportunity,
The Heavenly Wolf and Emperor Jiang also left, without any hesitation.
For a Supreme to want to leave, it is naturally very difficult to catch them.
Moreover, they had already made preparations in advance, with their escape route ready.
“What a pity, we let them get away.”
Ying Hook said with a regretful expression.
Hearing this, the Great Emperor Ziwei couldn’t help but laugh bitterly and said directly: “Lord of the Netherworld, although our strength can suppress them, we cannot hold them back. Forcing them to stay would come at a great cost.”
Ying Hook scratched his head and said: “Is that so? Then forget it. Once we all become Supreme, we’ll deal with them then. At that time, whether it’s the Wood God or the Heavenly Wolf, we’ll finish them all.”
The others: “…”
This silly fellow doesn’t realize how hard it is to become Supreme.
And thinking of defeating the other side, that’s even harder.
The Empress of the Primordial approached and thanked everyone.
“No need for thanks, Empress. We are allies, after all. If you ever encounter difficulties in the future, feel free to reach out to the Heavenly Court.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei said with a smile.
The Empress of the Primordial could feel that the Great Emperor Ziwei wasn’t just saying this casually, but genuinely had such a thought.
She was slightly moved and nodded vigorously.
Seeing her agreement, the Great Emperor Ziwei was slightly moved and then said: “In that case, let me confer a title upon the Empress, thereby making her a member of the Heavenly Court. This way, other Supremes will have more concerns if they wish to deal with the Empress, as the Heavenly Court isn’t weak either.”
Upon hearing the words of the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Empress of the Primordial hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
She knew that the Great Emperor Ziwei wished to recruit her, at least nominally to become an expert of the Heavenly Court.
To the Empress of the Primordial’s own surprise, she did not resist this idea at all and was even vaguely looking forward to it.
Judging by the conduct of the Great Emperor Ziwei and others, joining the Heavenly Court would bring benefits with no drawbacks for her and her child.
It’s no longer the age of the Primordial when one could roam unhindered.
Now, with Supremes gathered and chaos manifesting, even strong beings like the Wood God would make a move against her.
No one can guarantee that after the Wood God, there won’t be other strong beings eyeing her as well.
If she could leverage the power and prestige of the Heavenly Court, it would ultimately provide extra protection.
Seeing the Empress’s explanation, the Great Emperor Ziwei showed joy.
He immediately said: “Empress, please wait a moment while I head to the Heavenly Court to issue a Decree.”
Finishing his words, the Great Emperor Ziwei didn’t even say goodbye to Sun Wukong and the others before leaving directly.
Seeing him in such a hurry, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
The Empress chuckled lightly and said: “Is the Great Emperor Ziwei always so unrestrained? From the tales I’d heard, he’s described as having a great aura of authority and elegance. But meeting him today, it seems different from the stories.”
Hearing what the Empress said, Sun Wukong laughed and said: “Indeed it’s different. Ziwei only behaves like he did just now around those he trusts.”
The Empress of the Primordial seemed thoughtful and then smiled: “So it’s because of you, Great Saint, and the others.”
Indeed, it was for this reason. Of course, it was also because the Empress was about to join the Heavenly Court and become one of them.
Even just nominally, given Sun Wukong and the others’ friendship with the Empress, as they were on the same front, the Empress wouldn’t turn a blind eye.
The earlier appearance of the Great Emperor Ziwei had saved her.
The Empress remembered this clearly in her heart, very well aware of it.
Sun Wukong gave a faint smile and didn’t deny it modestly.
The Empress was stating a fact. It was indeed because they were there.
If it had been other Gods and Demons, the Great Emperor Ziwei probably wouldn’t have given any face at all, likely remaining expressionless.
“If the Empress has no pressing matters, you might want to spend some time at my Huaguo Mountain. It’s a good opportunity to discuss the Dao with the Ancestral Dragon and also guide the younger ones in their cultivation.”
Sun Wukong thought for a moment before speaking.
He was protecting the Empress.
No one knew if the Wood God would make a comeback, and this possibility was high.
Once they leave, if the Empress and Jie lack enough power to resist, should the Wood God make a Returning Spear move back, the Empress and Jie would be in danger.
Jie was somewhat eager, thinking he could spar with Sun Wukong daily this way.
The Empress hesitated slightly, her gaze landing on Sun Wukong as she asked: “Are you worried that the Wood God might return?”
Sun Wukong replied: “Indeed, if it’s just the Empress and her son, the Wood God will certainly make a move. We can’t stay here guarding forever; we have our own matters to attend to.”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Empress pondered briefly.
She then smiled and said: “That’s quite a good idea. I haven’t had a chance to truly discuss the Dao with a true expert for a long time. If I discuss with the Ancestral Dragon, I might gain new insights and elevate my cultivation to another level.”
Seeing her agreement, Sun Wukong smiled.
“Let’s set off now.”
Jie immediately said.
He was quite interested in moving to Huaguo Mountain to live.
