549: Chapter 235: Yang Jian Leaves the Heavenly Court_6 549: Chapter 235: Yang Jian Leaves the Heavenly Court_6 Nezha hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Yang Jian.
Yang Jian said with a smile, “I have never blamed you.
I’ve said it before, you acted for my sake.
As a brother, I’m too grateful to even start.”
Hearing Yang Jian’s words, Nezha said somewhat sadly, “I ultimately harmed you.”
“Haha.”
Yang Jian couldn’t help but laugh.
Nezha was puzzled and didn’t know what Yang Jian was laughing about.
Yang Jian then said, “Brother, when have you ever seen me care about this position of the Judicial Deity?
The reason I was willing to follow the Great Emperor Ziwei in the first place was that I thought he was a person worth following.
Now that our aspirations do not align, not being this Judicial Deity is actually a fortunate thing.”
“Really?”
Nezha asked.
He was naturally a proud person, wild and unruly.
If he was at fault, damaging his own interests and reputation, Nezha didn’t care at all; those things meant nothing to him.
Without those shackles, he might live even better.
But, when it involved Yang Jian, it was different.
Sun Wukong smiled faintly and said, “Just believe in Yang Jian’s words.
He would never lie to you.
I will warn that Ziwei fellow, no more little immortals will come to trouble you in the future.
If anyone dares to make any more sneaky moves, Old Sun will be the first to strike them down.”
The sound of Sun Wukong’s voice was very loud.
The mighty beings throughout the Three Realms could sense it.
They immediately understood that even if the Ziwei Heavenly Court was dissatisfied with Yang Jian in the future, they would not trouble him anymore.
Sun Wukong had already spoken.
Unless the Great Emperor Ziwei wanted to fall out with Sun Wukong because of Yang Jian, no one would dare to lay a hand on Yang Jian again.
Nezha felt slightly relieved with Sun Wukong’s words and Yang Jian’s assurance; he felt a bit better inside.
Otherwise, he would have felt guilty continuously.
In his view, it was he who had harmed Yang Jian, otherwise, Yang Jian would not have lost the position of the Judicial Deity.
“Alright, you guys go ahead; Old Sun has some other matters to attend to.”
Having said that, Sun Wukong took his leave.
He charged directly into the Vault of Heaven; he was ascending to heaven.
Nezha’s expression changed, somewhat worried, and really wanted to follow.
However, Yang Jian stopped him and did not allow him to go.
“Why would you follow him?
Given the relationship between Wukong and Ziwei, even if Wukong goes too far, the Great Emperor Ziwei won’t mind.
Besides, Wukong knows his limits and won’t cross the line with the Great Emperor, but if you go, it’ll be different, and it can easily cause trouble; you’re too impulsive.”
Nezha scratched his head, realizing that it was indeed his problem,
He made a firm decision in his heart to change his troublesome nature.
Meanwhile, in the Ziwei Heavenly Palace.
The Great Emperor Ziwei was holding court when Sun Wukong barged in.
For a moment, no one could oppose him.
He dashed up to Sa Shoujian and with a swing of his staff, sent him flying.
Sa Shoujian spat blood; if not for Tathagata Buddha intervening, Sun Wukong’s strike would have killed him.
Even so, Sa Shoujian was severely injured by Sun Wukong.
He was indeed a powerful Heavenly Venerate, but he couldn’t compare to Sun Wukong.
Sa Shoujian spat blood from his mouth and glared at Sun Wukong, roaring, “Great Saint, what have I done wrong to provoke such wrath from you?”
Li Jing also stepped forward, reprimanding, “Sun Wukong, you no longer hold office in the Heavenly Court, yet you dare to hurt Master Sa so freely, your crime is unpardonable.”
Sun Wukong’s gaze turned cold, ready to act against Li Jing.
Taibai quickly held him back.
If there was anyone in the Heavenly Court who could restrain Sun Wukong, Gold Star Taibai was definitely one of them.
Sun Wukong stared at the Great Emperor Ziwei, his tone cold and somewhat sarcastic, “The Supreme of the Three Realms sure is different; I barely recognize you anymore.”
The Great Emperor Ziwei said sternly, “Wukong, this matter does not concern you.
It’s just that Nezha is too unruly.
I hope you don’t get involved.”
Sun Wukong stared at the Great Emperor Ziwei and said harshly, “What if I said no?”
The Great Emperor Ziwei’s expression shifted slightly, as he stared back at Sun Wukong and said coldly, “Wukong, this is a matter for the Heavenly Court.
If you want to intervene in the affairs of the Heavenly Court, then come take a post here; otherwise, I do not wish for you to meddle in the affairs of the Heavenly Court.”
The immortals were shocked.
With these words, the Great Emperor Ziwei was clearly set on severing ties with Sun Wukong.
Otherwise, he would not have spoken such words.
Once these words were spoken, the relationship between him and Sun Wukong would likely be hard to mend.
Indeed, upon hearing the Great Emperor Ziwei’s words, Sun Wukong’s expression darkened.
He sharply flicked his hand and turned to leave.
Seeing Sun Wukong leaving, the Great Emperor Ziwei also let out a cold sound, his face displeased.
“Great Emperor, why bother?
The Great Saint didn’t do it on purpose,” Taibai sighed.
Looking at Taibai, the Great Emperor Ziwei said coldly, “No need to say anymore.
That monkey, spoiled by favor, thinks he can do whatever he wants in front of me since he has helped me before.
He has forgotten that I am the Supreme of the Three Realms, not Sun Wukong.”
Hearing this, the courtiers could not help but gasp.
They knew very well, with these words out, the Great Emperor Ziwei had expressed strong dissatisfaction with Sun Wukong.
No one dared to speak for Sun Wukong.
Should the Great Emperor Ziwei be infuriated, it would definitely spell big trouble.
No one had expected that Sun Wukong and the Great Emperor Ziwei would come to this pass so quickly.
Indeed, the phrase ‘the higher one’s merit, the greater the jealousy of the ruler’ holds true, both in the Mortal World and in the Heavenly Court.
