Suiren then laughed, speaking faintly, “After the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was expelled, The Three Pure Ones once sought me out, asking me to become the Heavenly Emperor, but I declined.
Although I am a strong figure among the Human Race, I must admit that the innate human distractions are too heavy, and humanity exceeds Daoist Nature.
Being the Heavenly Emperor really isn’t the best choice; it requires a being for whom Daoist Nature exceeds humanity.
Even if you try to provoke further, do you think I would usurp the throne?”
Tian Hao was speechless, somewhat in disbelief.
To think that Suiren could reject the position of Heavenly Emperor—he could hardly believe what he had heard.
Among all beings, who could do such a thing?
In this light, his earlier provocations seemed rather ridiculous.
This position, someone does not want.
Now, to speak of this position, isn’t it laughable?
With this thought, Tian Hao sighed, and the next moment, his gaze became sharp.
“Since that is the case, let us have a battle then.”
“It’s exactly what I want.”
Suiren gave a faint smile.
After all said and done, it still had to be proven by strength.
The two stared at each other as a powerful aura emitted from their beings.
The next moment, Tian Hao suddenly looked toward the Vault of Heaven, and without another word, he turned and walked away, directly entering the Demon Realm.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
No one knew what had happened, all were baffled.
Then, an old man appeared, a look of regret on his face.
“I have seen Elder Lord.”
The crowd bowed respectfully.
The army of the Demon Realm immediately fled towards the Demon Realm.
The old man turned out to be Lord Taishang, who sighed, “I almost had him.
Don’t mind me, I was just playing around.”
The crowd: “…”
Naturally, no one believed the words of Lord Taishang.
His demeanor clearly indicated that he had come specifically for Tian Hao.
But Tian Hao had perceived this instantly and then fled back.
It was just a close call; Lord Taishang could have stopped Tian Hao.
Everyone was somewhat puzzled; after all, it was unusual for Lord Taishang to intervene.
The troubles caused by the evil demons of the Demon Realm weren’t new, and when had they ever seen The Three Pure Ones take action?
It was usually the Immortal Gods between heaven and earth who dealt with it.
But today, he had come immediately trying to capture Tian Hao, which was indeed problematic.
Could it be that Tian Hao held some other identity?
The crowd exchanged looks, seeing the puzzlement in each other’s eyes.
After glancing at the crowd, Lord Taishang smiled faintly and said, “This guy is a bit different, but it has nothing to do with you.
Continue on, this old Daoist is heading back.”
Having said that, Lord Taishang turned and left the area, disappearing from the sight of the crowd.
Suiren also gave Great Emperor Ziwei a bow before he departed.
Teng Snake and Ba Snake had come to help, but seeing this scene, they knew there would be no fight.
The two turned and left.
The next time they meet, they would still be enemies of the Heavenly Court.
“Find Zhu Long and suppress him here,” Great Emperor Ziwei commanded solemnly.
“Truth Listening.”
Sun Wukong called out.
Truth Listening immediately scurried over, then started wagging its tail in a pleasing manner in front of Sun Wukong.
“Check where Zhu Long is now?”
Sun Wukong said.
Truth Listening hesitated for a moment, then still deployed its Divine Skills to begin listening.
Soon, Truth Listening shook its head, saying, “Can’t find him.
He has hidden his whereabouts with a special method, or he might be in some astonishing natural powers.
Can’t find him.”
Sun Wukong was not surprised.
Such a top-tier Great Heavenly Venerate, immensely powerful.
If they could find him easily, that would indeed be strange.
Mainly, Zhu Long was intentionally hiding.
Although the skills of Truth Listening were against the natural order, they were ultimately not all-powerful.
Not being able to find Zhu Long was the norm.
If Zhu Long were easily found, then he wouldn’t have been qualified to garrison the Demon Realm for so many years.
“We don’t necessarily need Zhu Long; that’s Haotian God’s tactic, most likely already deciphered by the Demon Realm, better think of some other method,” Truth Listening said.
“What method do you have?”
Sun Wukong’s gaze focused on Truth Listening.
“Break into the Demon Realm, invade proactively.”
Truth Listening spoke.
Everyone was startled; they hadn’t thought of this suggestion.
Against the invasions of the Demon Realm, they always defended, but breaking into it was something they never considered.
“Our strength is not sufficient,” Great Emperor Ziwei shook his head.
Just now, without Suiren arriving, they would have had a hard time suppressing the Demon Realm.
Let alone breaking into the Demon Realm; that was unthinkable.
With just Tian Hao alone, he could wipe out the strong beings entering it.
If it weren’t for the threat of the Court of Ancient Gods, they might still dare to do so.
But if the people of Heavenly Court were to enter the Demon Realm, the remaining forces would not be enough to suppress the Court of Ancient Gods.
In fact, the largest threat to the Three Realms is actually from beyond the sky, not the Demon Realm.
“True Martial, you guys stay and garrison here.
If anything happens, immediately notify us,”
Great Emperor Ziwei said, his gaze landing on Ancestor Whale and the others.
“You three stay here and follow the instructions of True Martial and his team.”
Upon hearing they were to stay here, Ancestor Whale and the others turned pale.
If Tian Hao attacked again, wouldn’t they be doomed?
But this was the intention of Great Emperor Ziwei, and they did not dare to object.
The individuals quickly responded, “Yes.”
“We are preparing to go back,” Great Emperor Ziwei declared solemnly.
As for the plan to attack the Court of Ancient Gods in three days, naturally, it was shelved.
“Monkey, long time no see,” White Tiger came over and greeted Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong, smiling broadly, looked at her somewhat surprised and asked, “Why aren’t you calling me ‘Big Bad Guy’ anymore?”
