561: Chapter 236: Is It Fake_6 561: Chapter 236: Is It Fake_6 Upon hearing Gold Star Taibai’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Based on Gold Star Taibai’s understanding of the Jade Emperor, this possibility was significant.
They exchanged glances, each seeing the smile in the other’s eyes.
If that was the case, there really wasn’t anything to worry about.
Even more, things were developing in their favor.
“Then let us wait and see,” they said.
In the Court of Ancient Gods, when Queen Mother of the West heard the news, she couldn’t help but frown.
“Why such a face, Your Highness?
Yang Jian turning against the Great Emperor Ziwei should be good news,” said the Senior Commander-in-Chief with a smile.
Queen Mother of the West spoke gravely, “It just feels a bit unusual.
Everyone knows what kind of person Yang Jian is.
He is resolute in spirit.
Even if he leaves the Great Emperor Ziwei, he wouldn’t change his stance so easily or follow the Jade Emperor so readily.
Previously, he was always protecting living beings and was very averse to those who harmed them.”
Seeing Queen Mother of the West’s doubt, the Senior Commander-in-Chief smiled and said, “But Your Highness must not forget, after all, the Jade Emperor is Yang Jian’s biological uncle.
Between such close blood relatives, if Yang Jian felt wronged, wouldn’t he follow his uncle if the Jade Emperor just reaches out a little?
What would there be to worry about then?”
The logic was sound, but Queen Mother of the West still felt uneasy.
She always felt something was not normal, not as simple as everyone said.
“How come I feel like Yang Jian really wants to assassinate the Jade Emperor?” Queen Mother of the West said.
Though it seemed incredible to her, that was indeed her feeling.
Everyone exchanged glances, finding it unlikely.
“This is the Jade Emperor’s own affair.
Moreover, he is deep and calculating; it’s not easy to scheme against him.
If Yang Jian had any intentions, they would have been seen through by now,” remarked the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, unconvinced.
The Jade Emperor was famously calculative throughout the Three Realms.
Could he be schemed against by someone else?
Thinking about it, everyone felt it was unlikely.
Queen Mother of the West also found it unlikely, and even with any special Magic Artifact, Yang Jian’s strength might still not be enough to kill the Jade Emperor.
Thinking this, Queen Mother of the West ceased her pondering.
“Everyone, given the current situation, what will you do?
If you’re thinking about further expansion, you’re going to clash directly with the Heavenly Court.
How confident are you?” Queen Mother of the West asked, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief smiled faintly and said, “Queen Mother, our goal is not to defeat the Heavenly Court, but to drag them into the quagmire of war and drastically reduce the number of living beings.
We are almost certain of this.”
“Correct, it’s just about reducing living beings, letting my fathers return; as for dominating heaven and earth, that’s for my fathers to manage,” said the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow with a smile.
These words were also meant for Shao Siming and others to hear.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow had absolute confidence in his father, Emperor Jun, believing that his father would eventually reign supreme over this domain.
Shao Siming and the Senior Commander-in-Chief could not fail to detect the tone of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, exchanging glances with a sneer in their hearts.
When Tai Yi, the Eastern Emperor, returned, he would not be so pleased.
If Emperor Jun had been powerful enough, he wouldn’t have been replaced by Tai Yi, the Eastern Emperor.
They acknowledged Emperor Jun’s strength but believed more in their emperor.
“Correct, the matter of dominating heaven and earth should indeed be left to others; you needn’t worry, Queen Mother,” added the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
Queen Mother of the West’s expression darkened, her gaze sternly sweeping over them as she said, “I am helping you bring back Emperor Jun and the others not because I desire to dominate heaven and earth, but to address the hidden threats in the Three Realms and to protect them.
If you start infighting upon your return, I cannot assist you.”
Shao Siming and the others shivered, suddenly realizing that their attitude had angered Queen Mother of the West.
Queen Mother of the West was willing to help the ancient gods return because of external threats,
not because of dissatisfaction with the later generations of living beings or wanting the ancient gods to replace them.
There was a clear distinction.
If they appeared to be eager only for dominating heaven and earth, they believed Queen Mother of the West would turn against them instantly.
Realizing this, the Senior Commander-in-Chief’s expression turned solemn as he said gravely, “Rest assured, Queen Mother, we also know better than to be so inappropriate.
Even if the Eastern Emperor allied with Emperor Jun’s lineage could not withstand the external foes, the gaps are still there.
Even if we return, we would not weaken ourselves, and striving for domination would only come after completely resolving the external threats.”
Queen Mother of the West’s expression then eased slightly.
She glanced coldly at everyone and said, “Remember your words.”
Seeing her reassured, the Senior Commander-in-Chief and the others finally relaxed.
It was well-known that nearly ninety percent of the ancient gods gathered atop Kunlun were there because of Queen Mother of the West’s reputation.
If Queen Mother of the West were to command, those ancient gods would definitely do anything she asked.
“Alright, prepare on your own for now.
Let’s see what happens next after Yang Jian joins the Jade Emperor’s camp, and if a large-scale conflict breaks out in Ziwei Heavenly Court, we will act immediately,” Queen Mother of the West commanded sternly.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief and others bowed and left the place.
It wasn’t until they left the grand hall that Shao Siming transmitted bitterly, “I’m so angry, seeing Queen Mother of the West like that irritates me, I really want to kill her.”
Glaring at Shao Siming, the Senior Commander-in-Chief transmitted back, “Don’t speak nonsense.
At our level, we have a Mysterious and Profound sense.
If you harbor a killing intention and don’t carefully conceal it, Queen Mother of the West can sense it.”
Shao Siming then restrained her Heart-Mind.
Seeing her calm down, the Senior Commander-in-Chief then said, “If you want to deal with Queen Mother of the West, wait until His Majesty the Eastern Emperor returns; we will have plenty of opportunities.
There’s no need to rush.
We still need Queen Mother of the West for now, so don’t offend her.”
