Chapter 945: Chapter 299: Lone General_5
Seeing his anger, Emperor Jiang quickly explained: “You’ve misunderstood, what I meant was that you’re not the only one thinking this way, I think the same.”
At this point, Emperor Jiang’s expression turned ugly, and he said: “Long’ao is dead, you should have sensed it too, the entire Sea Dragon Clan has been annihilated. Now, with the Heavenly Court being so powerful, possessing so many experts, and having The Three Pure Ones above, what do you think are the chances of the Wood God becoming the Supreme Deity of the Three Realms?”
“Zero.”
The Heavenly Wolf Supreme expressed his thoughts.
Actually, from the beginning, he never believed what the Wood God said.
However, all this time, they were coerced and lured by the Wood God, and combined with the fact that the Wood God’s strength was indeed formidable, they could consider him as a backer.
The two of them continued to assist the Wood God in his affairs; if one were to say they were his subordinates, that wasn’t quite true either.
They were more like collaborators with the Wood God, but in this matter, the Wood God held the dominant position.
It was just that the Wood God himself, by assumption, considered them his subordinates.
This was something the Heavenly Wolf Supreme and Emperor Jiang had never denied, but they hadn’t acknowledged either.
Now, with Long’ao’s death, and the forceful stance of the Empress and the others, they had lost faith in the Wood God.
If they continued like this, they didn’t know what would become of the Wood God, but they both were likely to face the same fate as Long’ao.
The Heavenly Wolf Supreme had a tribe, and he had to think about his tribesmen.
Emperor Jiang was slightly better off, having no tribe or tribesmen.
But he also felt he was in danger, fearing he’d meet an end like Long’ao.
Emperor Jiang frowned and couldn’t help but say: “If I separate from the Wood God, at most I’ll hide, and he won’t be able to find me, but it’s different for you. You have a tribe to worry about, and you can’t escape the Wood God’s control.”
The Heavenly Wolf Supreme furrowed his brows; he naturally understood this.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate.
What kind of person is the Wood God? He knew all too well.
The other party was simply a madman.
If he truly went mad, their Heavenly Wolf tribe couldn’t resist, for he was not the Wood God’s match.
This put the Heavenly Wolf Supreme in a difficult position; breaking away from the Wood God wasn’t easy.
Unless he disregarded his tribesmen, letting them be slaughtered by the Wood God.
But this, the Heavenly Wolf Supreme simply couldn’t do.
Blood is thicker than water; naturally, it’s not just an empty phrase.
Emperor Jiang glanced at the Heavenly Wolf Supreme, a gleam flickered in his eyes, and he said, “We’re friends, right?”
“Of course.”
The Heavenly Wolf Supreme replied without hesitation.
The relationship between him and Emperor Jiang was quite good.
Calling them friends was definitely accurate.
Seeing the Heavenly Wolf Supreme acknowledge this, Emperor Jiang smiled.
He said with a grin: “Since you acknowledge we’re friends, I don’t mind helping you out. Here’s the thing, I don’t want to hide either, I’ll stay with you, stand by the Heavenly Wolf tribe, and simultaneously declare we have nothing to do with the Wood God, break away from him. If the Wood God dares to make a move, the two of us together won’t fear a mere Wood God. Should he be unwise, I wouldn’t mind joining forces with the Heavenly Court to eliminate the Wood God.”
The Heavenly Wolf Supreme’s eyes lit up; he said in surprise: “Brother, is that true?”
“Of course.”
Emperor Jiang nodded.
If I kept hiding, he worried that the Wood God would eventually find him.
Given that guy’s grudge-bearing nature, such a thing was definitely within reason.
Might as well not hide, directly stand with the Heavenly Wolf Supreme in the Heavenly Wolf tribe.
Even if the Wood God wanted to act, he would have to consider whether they were opponents.
In this way, they could break away from the Wood God and also protect themselves.
Originally, they thought the Wood God’s desire to become the Supreme Deity of the Three Realms was rather ridiculous.
And now, due to this event, it gave them an opportunity.
“What if the Ten Thousand Heavens Court were to make a move against us? Without the strong backing of the Wood God, we would be in a dangerous situation, possibly attacked from both sides.”
The Heavenly Wolf Supreme was somewhat worried.
“Haha, you’re underestimating the Heavenly Court and also underestimating ourselves. The Heavenly Court has the grandeur to accommodate us. As long as we leave the Wood God and don’t raise trouble, plus if they were to suddenly hunt down two Supremes, the Heavenly Court wouldn’t do such a thing, as it would easily arouse the resentment of other Supremes and cause discontent with the Heavenly Court.”
Emperor Jiang laughed heartily.
He analyzed everything clearly; in any case, leaving the Wood God was definitely a rewarding move.
The Heavenly Wolf Supreme was completely moved; he nodded and said: “Let’s do it immediately.”
At this moment, the Wood God tried contacting the Heavenly Wolf Supreme and Emperor Jiang but received no response.
This made him slightly angry.
He knew the two were fine and should have received his message.
Yet the two acted irrationally, refusing to contact him.
“Excessive, no respect for hierarchy. Once I find them, I will thoroughly discipline them.”
The Wood God was furious, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Today’s experience put him in a foul mood.
Just then, the voices of the Heavenly Wolf Supreme and Emperor Jiang resonated between heaven and earth.
“I, the Heavenly Wolf Supreme…”
“I, Emperor Jiang…”
“Declare to the Three Realms that we have no subordinate relationship or friendship with the Wood God. Affairs involving the Wood God have nothing to do with us. From now on, we adhere to the Heavenly Court’s rules, will not harm living beings or endanger fellow cultivators. We hope the Heavenly Court and all fellow Daoists won’t misunderstand our relationship with the Wood God.”
The Wood God’s eyes widened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just like that, had he become a lone general?
