626: Chapter 243 Shatter the Court of Ancient Gods_6 626: Chapter 243 Shatter the Court of Ancient Gods_6 Sun Wukong was so angry he almost cursed aloud.
They had come this far, and still, the enemy had managed to escape?
The crowd, too, looked at each other, none had anticipated this.
They thought victory was in their grasp, who would have thought that the Eastern Emperor Bell was here?
And at the crucial moment, it had whisked away the Senior Commander-in-Chief and his team.
People looked at each other, all somewhat at a loss.
“It’s all because I warned too late.”
Zhenyuan said apologetically.
Hearing his words, Sun Wukong quickly responded, “Brother, you jest.
How could this be your fault?
Seeing the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell, even if you had warned earlier, we might not have been able to stop it.”
The crowd nodded in agreement; they shared the same opinion.
The Senior Commander-in-Chief must have been prepared, relying on this to escape; naturally, he would not easily be intercepted by the crowd.
Although they had exterminated the Court of Ancient Gods this time, allowing the Senior Commander-in-Chief and his team to escape also felt somewhat regrettable.
Queen Mother of the West gave a cold laugh and said, “You all underestimate the Senior Commander-in-Chief too much.
They have countless strategies.
Even I don’t fully understand them and yet you all were so careless.”
“Shut up.”
Nezha rebuked, clearly dissatisfied.
He felt that the Queen Mother of the West was far too arrogant.
After all, what grounds did a captive have to be arrogant?
The Queen Mother of the West glanced at Nezha and let out a cold laugh but did not bother with him.
In her view, Nezha was merely borrowing the tiger’s fierceness.
Being captured by the Ziwei Heavenly Court had clearly upset the Queen Mother of the West a great deal.
“Back to the Heavenly Court,”
Great Emperor Ziwei said.
They also stationed strong warriors in Kunlun, positioning Heavenly Soldiers and Generals there.
Kunlun had many treasures, especially the Queen Mother of the West’s herbal fields and such.
Although Sun Wukong had stolen quite a bit, there were still many valuable items left.
If those were stolen by petty thieves, that would be a far greater loss.
As long as the Eastern King could persuade the Queen Mother of the West to submit to the Heavenly Court, these goods would eventually belong to the Heavenly Court.
One must not let others freely take what belongs to one’s own family.
Only then did they leave Kunlun.
Back inside the Ziwei Heavenly Court, there were a group of people kneeling below.
Altogether there were eleven Heavenly Venerate Realm powerhouses.
Sun Wukong and the others couldn’t help but remark how incredible it was for the Queen Mother of the West to gather so many experts; no one else could have done this.
Eleven powerful experts of the Heavenly Venerate Realm and a powerhouse like the Queen Mother of the West joining the Heavenly Court – what kind of boost would that be to the court’s strength?
Even Great Emperor Ziwei coveted, contemplating how to subdue these individuals.
Actually, before Great Emperor Ziwei could speak, Zhu Yan already pleaded for mercy.
“Please, Great Emperor Ziwei, spare our lives; we are willing to submit to the Great Emperor.”
Great Emperor Ziwei was astonished, having not expected it to be so simple.
He had thought he would need to persuade them painstakingly, using all his wits before they would side with him.
To think that without a word, Zhu Yan was already willing to submit.
However, such a fair-weather fellow seemed dubious no matter how one looked at it.
Today, he could betray the Queen Mother of the West, and later, he could betray Ziwei himself.
Considering this, Great Emperor Ziwei said in a serious tone, “I can spare your lives, but how can I trust you?”
Zhu Yan immediately responded, “Your Majesty can plant methods within us; we will definitely not betray the Great Emperor.
This way, the Great Emperor could be a bit more at ease.”
“Yes, please, Great Emperor, implant methods within us.”
“Great Emperor, please, implant them.”
…
Even Ying Zhao and others spoke up, desperate to survive, they were throwing caution to the wind.
After all, losing their freedom was far better than being killed.
Moreover, at this point, Great Emperor Ziwei was truly the Supreme of the Three Realms.
Serving under Great Emperor Ziwei was not shameful.
Sun Wukong and the others were somewhat speechless, watching the scene unfold, unsure of what to say.
They wanted to ask the others, have you no decency?
Great Emperor Ziwei was surprised yet found it quite bland.
Ancient Gods?
Is this all?
What happened to their integrity?
He had been very happy at first and wanted to try using his Imperial Hegemony to subdue these Ancient Gods among the Heavenly Venerates.
But they submitted so easily, leaving him with no pleasure.
With this, Great Emperor Ziwei, looking rather gloomy, waved his hand and said, “This is what you’re asking for, not what I’m forcing upon you.”
Once Great Emperor Ziwei agreed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yan hurriedly said, “Correct, it was indeed our own request, not coerced by the Great Emperor, please implant the methods.”
“Your Majesty is merciful, please accept us,”
Xiang Liu quickly added.
Queen Mother of the West glanced at them; she was the only one standing there.
Seeing them grovel, even willing to be controlled to survive, she felt disgusted.
Only then did she realize, she had indeed overestimated this bunch.
If she knew they were such characters, Queen Mother of the West would definitely not have made the Court of Ancient Gods so high-profile.
As it turned out, they had attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court very early on, and were ultimately defeated by it.
If these guys had been a little more resolute just now, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Thinking of this, Queen Mother of the West was so angry she could have eaten their hearts out.
“A bunch of spineless fools,”
Queen Mother of the West said coldly.
Hearing her words, those people didn’t seem to care at all.
Zhu Yan even said, “Your Majesty, we are not like you; you have the protection of the Eastern King, Great Emperor Ziwei won’t kill you, but we are different.
We want to live and not just die like that.”
