601: Chapter 239 Disintegration of the Will_12 601: Chapter 239 Disintegration of the Will_12 “I trust the Queen Mother of the West; she has no reason to deceive us,”
the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow said directly.
He wasn’t adept at intrigue and trickery but also felt that it wasn’t the Queen Mother of the West’s doing.
To undertake such deeds would benefit the Queen Mother of the West in no way.
Besides, even if the Queen Mother of the West were conspiring with the Heavenly Court, it should have been done more covertly.
Doing it so blatantly would only leave evidence for others, wouldn’t it?
“Senior Commander-in-Chief, what do you think?”
the Queen Mother of the West asked.
Shao Siming said with a smile, “We have no idea what the Queen Mother of the West is thinking.”
With these words, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West.
She realized the implication of Shao Siming’s words—they were kicking her while she was down.
However, Senior Commander-in-Chief spoke up.
He pondered for a moment and then said, “I trust the Queen Mother of the West.
This matter looks like a scheme of the Heavenly Court, with each part fitting into the other perfectly.
The adversary is truly a master.
Moreover, while we were talking just now, I sensed that someone was spying on us.
The feeling was very faint, and I thought it might have been my imagination.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed slightly.
“It’s Sun Wukong,”
the Queen Mother of the West immediately said.
Then, she looked at Zhu Yan and asked, “Do you believe me now?”
Zhu Yan gave a faint smile but said nothing.
How could he fail to see that Senior Commander-in-Chief was merely covering for the Queen Mother of the West?
Sun Wukong indeed, did they really think they could deceive him and the others so easily?
However, since Senior Commander-in-Chief had said as much, Zhu Yan couldn’t well say anything in response.
He snorted coldly and said, “For now, I will give the Queen Mother of the West the benefit of doubt.
I hope that Your Majesty will take care and not do anything you might regret.”
After speaking, Zhu Yan turned and left with his entourage.
Rage flickered in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West.
She had truly wanted to take action just now and crush Zhu Yan then and there.
If it weren’t for the fact that acting now would likely incur the wrath of many, the Queen Mother of the West would never have let him leave alive.
Just Zhu Yan alone dared to challenge her; even if he was a top-level Great Heavenly Venerate, it wouldn’t do.
However, she also knew that after this incident, her authority in the Court of Ancient Gods would likely have plummeted to an all-time low.
“Did you really sense Sun Wukong?”
the Queen Mother of the West looked at the Senior Commander-in-Chief.
Senior Commander-in-Chief shook his head and said with a wry smile, “No, I just said that to clear Your Majesty of suspicion.
Naturally, I trust Your Majesty, but others might not, so I had to give them a reason.”
Having said this, Senior Commander-in-Chief spoke solemnly, “However, if Your Majesty is not a spy for the Heavenly Court, then there’s only one possibility—that Sun Wukong really did eavesdrop on our conversation.
The defenses of Kunlun are virtually ineffective against him.”
A cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West as she clenched her teeth in anger.
Sun Wukong had already stolen her Divine Medicine, and now he dared to come to Kunlun a second time.
Did he really think she would not discover him?
With Senior Commander-in-Chief’s analysis, the Queen Mother of the West also felt that it was very likely that Sun Wukong had eavesdropped on their conversation.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West roared, “Lu Wu, Kai Ming, come here.”
Lu Wu and Kai Ming trembled with fear, discerning infinite rage from the tone of the Queen Mother of the West.
The two Divine Beasts hurried over and knelt down below the Queen Mother of the West.
“Sun Wukong has been let in by you again, if there is a next time, I will behead you myself, now get out.”
As her words fell, the Queen Mother of the West slapped them both, sending the Divine Beasts flying away.
Lu Wu and Kai Ming spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, overwhelmed with terror.
From the tone of the Queen Mother of the West, the two Divine Beasts could hear the intent to kill.
Clearly, if Sun Wukong were to come in again, even if the Queen Mother of the West did not kill them, the punishment would be more than they could bear.
In their hearts, they bitterly resented Sun Wukong, whose repeated intrusions involved them and made them endure the wrath of the Queen Mother of the West.
From then on, Kai Ming and Lu Wu dared not slacken the slightest bit.
Meanwhile, Ying Zhao’s eyes were wide open, staring at Medicine Garden.
After the last lesson, Ying Zhao dared not relax her vigilance at all.
The Ancient Gods within Kunlun also heard the commotion.
Xiang Liu, upon hearing the noises, couldn’t help saying to Zhu Yan, “Fellow Daoist, given the Queen Mother of the West’s reaction, this should just be an accident.
Sun Wukong sneaked in, overheard their plans, and it’s not that the Queen Mother is colluding with the Heavenly Court.”
Zhu Yan sneered disdainfully, “Do you really believe what the Queen Mother of the West says?
Senior Commander-in-Chief was just making excuses for her, and the Queen Mother’s actions were merely to prove her innocence.
What ‘Sun Wukong sneaked in’…
not to mention the last incident when Sun Wukong stole from Medicine Garden, if a powerful being lurked beside you and me, would you and I not sense something?”
“Of course we would, even if we might not detect the exact position, but we would feel someone approaching.”
Hearing Xiang Liu’s words, Zhu Yan sneered, “If you and I can sense it, would the Queen Mother of the West, whose strength surpasses ours, not be able to?
Besides, at the time within the great hall were the Senior Commander-in-Chief and others.
Are these four beings, whose power is second only to the Heavenly Emperor, all fools?
They couldn’t sense a little Sun Wukong right beside them?”
Xiang Liu was suddenly at a loss for words.
Zhu Yan patted his shoulder and sighed, “Brother Xiang Liu, you are just too trusting of others.
In the Three Realms, one must be exceedingly cautious and not fully trust anyone; otherwise, you will end up suffering yourself in the end.”
Xiang Liu nodded and said, “Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhu Yan.
I understand now.”
Sun Wukong’s actions suddenly caused unrest atop Kunlun.
The Ancient Gods were quite uneasy, suspecting that the Queen Mother of the West might be in collusion with the Heavenly Court.
And the Queen Mother of the West did not explain, for even if she did, it would be useless.
At this point, the entire Court of Ancient Gods was experiencing a moment of disunity.
This was something the Queen Mother of the West and the others had not anticipated at all.
All they could say was that the schemers of the Heavenly Court were truly astute, outwitting them thoroughly.
When Great Emperor Ziwei and others heard the news from Kunlun, they could not help but smile.
“Now the Court of Ancient Gods is likely to fall apart,” said Great Emperor Ziwei with a smile.
Tathagata Buddha was also full of confidence, proudly stating, “As long as the Queen Mother of the West cannot prove she has not colluded with the Heavenly Court, she will not be able to convince the masses.
A Court of Ancient Gods with scattered hearts and ceaseless orders poses little threat—Your Majesty can ‘Plow the Court and Sweep the Lair’ and completely annihilate the Court of Ancient Gods.”
The eyes of Great Emperor Ziwei sparkled, knowing that day was not far away.
“Your Majesty, something’s wrong.”
