594: Chapter 239: Disintegration of Morale_5 594: Chapter 239: Disintegration of Morale_5 Eastern King faintly shook his head, “You do not understand Queen Mother of the West.
She doesn’t want to sever ties with me but to protect me, to avoid involving me in her troubles, which is why she said those words just now.”
Lady of Mount Li was somewhat taken aback.
Had she guessed wrong, or was Eastern King overthinking it?
Was that truly what Queen Mother of the West thought?
Her expression was doubtful, her gaze fixed on Eastern King with suspicion.
“Queen Mother of the West is actually a very intelligent person,” Eastern King said with a light tone.
“Unfortunately, precisely because of that, she now finds herself in a difficult position.
She has probably realized that what she’s done is wrong, but it’s hard for her to turn back.”
Eastern King spoke calmly.
“Why do you say that?”
Lady of Mount Li asked.
Lord Doumu’s eyes flashed with a bright light before she said, “It’s likely because of the Ancient Gods.
If Queen Mother of the West stops her opposition to the Heavenly Court, those Ancient Gods might be used by the Senior Commander-in-Chief and others as cannon fodder against the Heavenly Court.
If so, I’m afraid not one of them will survive.”
Eastern King gave Lord Doumu an approving look and with a light smile, he added, “Hence, what I must do is find an opportunity to eradicate these three people.”
“Can Great Emperor Ziwei forgive Queen Mother of the West?”
Lady of Mount Li asked with some concern.
Hearing her question, Lord Doumu couldn’t help but laugh.
She spoke directly, “Don’t worry.
Ziwei is my son; there are some matters he must listen to me in.
Besides, he has a generous nature and would definitely not make things difficult for the Queen Mother of the West.
There’s no need to worry about that at all.”
“Indeed, Ziwei is magnanimous,” Eastern King nodded.
On this matter, he had never been worried.
Now, what needed to be done was to find out how to kill Shao Siming and the others.
Landing a killing blow on the three of them was not an easy task.
Their powers were almost on par with the Supreme of the Three Realms, just a bit weaker than Eastern King.
If Eastern King faced them alone, he could easily defeat or even injure them, but to kill them was not so simple a matter.
“We should take our time planning this matter,” Eastern King’s eyes glittered with determination.
He needed to find an opportunity to arrange for people to assist him; he alone could not take them down.
At best, he could only injure them, and then they might escape.
“When you make your move, call us,” Lady of Mount Li said with a smile.
“Count me in,” Lord Doumu was brimming with murderous intent.
She found Shao Siming and the others extremely disagreeable.
Not to mention that they had opposed Great Emperor Ziwei.
As Great Emperor Ziwei’s mother, she naturally wanted to clear away his enemies.
Given this opportunity, Lord Doumu would not let it slip by.
“Of course,” Eastern King smiled.
With these two joining in, things were much easier.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow suddenly shivered.
He said with a hint of confusion, “Why do I feel cold all of a sudden, as if I have a bad premonition?
It couldn’t be that Great Yi has come back to life, could it?”
Seeing his frightened appearance, Shao Siming couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re such a coward.
Great Yi has only a sliver of soul left, and for the sake of vengeance, he is practically annihilated in both body and spirit; you really don’t need to worry—he has no chance of killing you now.”
Tenth Son of the Golden Crow furrowed his brow, “My premonitions are usually accurate; there might be some dangerous situation brewing.”
“Could it be Eastern King?”
The Senior Commander-in-Chief’s expression became grave.
Shao Siming and he exchanged a glance, both feeling that this was very likely.
Eastern King, in order to protect Queen Mother of the West, would definitely not want them exploiting her.
And the only way to stop them from using her would be to kill them.
That way, even if they wanted to use Queen Mother of the West, it would become impossible.
Without Shao Siming and the others, the Queen Mother of the West naturally would not entertain the thought of bringing back the Ancient Gods from beyond the heavens.
With this in mind, everyone’s expressions grew more serious.
“Recently, be extra cautious with everything you do, and make sure not to get targeted,” the Senior Commander-in-Chief warned with a grave tone.
As it was a matter of life and death, they certainly would not be careless.
Especially the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, who only narrowly avoided death a few days ago; naturally, he didn’t want to fall into danger again.
He secretly resolved to stay hidden whenever possible and to ready his defensive measures to prevent Eastern King from making a move against him, threatening his life.
“He won’t find it so easy to kill us,” Shao Siming said with confidence.
Glancing at Shao Siming, Senior Commander-in-Chief spoke in a grave tone, “We must not be careless.
I need to contact our emperor and make some preparations in advance.”
A thought struck Shao Siming, and she eyed Senior Commander-in-Chief with suspicion,
“Are you hiding something from me?”
She discerned another meaning in Senior Commander-in-Chief’s words,
That Eastern Emperor Tai Yi still had the power to influence the Three Realms.
He had left behind other means within the Realms.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief hesitated for a moment but eventually whispered a few words into Shao Siming’s ear.
Suddenly, Shao Siming’s eyes widened.
She had not expected the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi to have such a tactic up his sleeve.
“Don’t speak of this.
This is crucial for our emperor’s return and won’t be used lightly.
I am really worried about the risk to our lives this time; otherwise, I would definitely not consult our emperor and employ that method,” Senior Commander-in-Chief spoke gravely.
If he died, it wasn’t actually terrifying; it would merely mean the loss of an avatar.
But it was different for Shao Siming, as her true body was here.
If she were killed by Eastern King, then that would truly be the end.
Senior Commander-in-Chief’s desire to use that method was not for his own sake but mostly for Shao Siming.
Naturally, Shao Siming could see this as well and her gaze toward Senior Commander-in-Chief was filled with gratitude.
