CHAPTER 1121: CHAPTER 347: ELDER LORD ESCAPES (PART 2)

"What makes you think Old Sun should be reassured?"

Sun Wukong questioned.

Lord Taishang glanced at Sun Wukong and said blandly, "The Three Pure Ones can suppress the Five Great Heavenly Emperors, and don’t forget, there’s also the Supreme Ancestral Demon, who is at our level."

In other words, there are four at the level of the Three Pure Ones in the Three Realms.

So speaking, there’s nothing to fear from the Five Great Heavenly Emperor level powerhouses.

"The Eastern King is also a significant combat power. If he takes action, he can match any one of Emperor Jun among them or fight several strong Supremes."

Lord Taishang continued.

The Eastern King smiled faintly, yet said, "Elder Lord, don’t forget, I am a subordinate of the Heavenly Court, not your subordinate."

His words were clear, telling Lord Taishang not to count him as part of his strength.

Lord Taishang also smiled faintly, unconcerned.

He looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Nowadays, the Heavenly Court is gathering many strong individuals, and with your strength improving daily, I believe it won’t be long before your strength will surpass that of Emperor Jun and them."

"Believing is worth shit; give us some tangible benefits."

Sun Wukong chuckled coldly, not being courteous at all.

The eyes of the others almost bulged out.

Even with the strength of the Eastern King, he dared not be so discourteous with Lord Taishang.

Sun Wukong was simply too assertive, as if Lord Taishang counted for nothing in his eyes.

In the Three Realms, perhaps only Sun Wukong dares to speak to Lord Taishang this way.

Others, even if they’re not afraid of the Three Pure Ones, naturally feel some awe.

"What benefit do you want?"

Casting a glance at Sun Wukong, Lord Taishang asked irritably.

He really didn’t know how to handle this monkey.

Mainly because, in his plan, this monkey occupied a large part, or one could say it was the key to the entire plan.

It might not be visible now, but once Sun Wukong grows to a sufficient level, everything will be set in motion.

Therefore, Sun Wukong was relying on this point to act recklessly.

Of course, Lord Taishang was also aware.

Even without this reliance, this monkey might not have been any more respectful.

Such is Sun Wukong’s nature, it’s unchangeable.

"Naturally, tangible benefits, like some elixirs to help us increase our power, or some cultivation techniques; what use are you if you do nothing but create trouble?"

Sun Wukong looked at him with disdain.

Lord Taishang almost couldn’t hold back and wanted to slap Sun Wukong to death.

He took a deep breath and managed to suppress his anger.

"No elixirs, no cultivation techniques, if you want to get stronger then find a way yourself, if not, no one is forcing you; at worst, I’ll overturn everything and start anew, I have all the time in the world,"

Finishing his sentence, Lord Taishang turned and left.

"Wait a moment, you haven’t given me anything, where are you running off to?"

Sun Wukong shouted.

But by then, Lord Taishang was already far away.

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, letting that guy slip away.

He glanced at everyone, noticing they were looking at him oddly.

Sun Wukong nonchalantly said, "You all overestimate Lord Taishang; he wasn’t angry at all, he just took the chance to escape, and now you’ve all been fooled again?"

Everyone was speechless.

When others saw Lord Taishang’s furious look, they wouldn’t even dare to breathe.

Even the Eastern King was a bit nervous just now, even starting to prepare to defend.

If Lord Taishang had acted against Sun Wukong, he would have protected Sun Wukong first.

But Lord Taishang didn’t make a move, he just turned and left.

The Eastern King was filled with disbelief, thinking Lord Taishang was too easygoing.

Having witnessed the Primordial era, he had a clear understanding of Lord Taishang.

He was definitely not a gentle person, when it’s time to act, he wouldn’t hesitate at all, killing Supremes would be like slaughtering pigs.

However, in front of Sun Wukong, Lord Taishang was restrained to an extreme.

"You’re strong."

The Eastern King gave a thumbs up.

Sun Wukong smirked, he didn’t think much of it at all.

Sun Wukong knew very well that as long as he didn’t touch Lord Taishang’s bottom line, he wouldn’t do anything to him.

For the sake of his so-called plan, Lord Taishang was even willing to swear brotherhood with him, so he naturally wouldn’t kill him out of anger.

Only a fool would do such a thing, and Lord Taishang certainly wouldn’t.

He made it sound simple, but to overturn everything and start anew required an enormous amount of effort, only he knew it.

"Queen Mother, you don’t need to worry. In three years, they will enter the Three Realms, and Old Sun will be watching them the whole time. Rest assured, they won’t cause any trouble."

Sun Wukong glanced at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother showed a stunning smile and nodded slightly.

With Sun Wukong’s guarantee, she was completely at ease.

The Eastern King was preparing to leave and return to his dojo.

At this moment, Sun Wukong suddenly stared at him.

"Eastern King, care to chat? Old Sun is very curious about your affairs, and what is this strongest Realm all about?"

Sun Wukong said with a playful expression.

Although he had guessed some things, he was still shocked by his own guesses.

Sun Wukong really hadn’t expected the Eastern King’s background to be so astounding.

One of the Twelve Kings of the strongest Realm, just hearing that sounded incredibly impressive.

Even if he wasn’t at the very top of the pyramid, he was close enough.

Presumably, there were very few stronger than him.

The Eastern King gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s all in the past. Those memories are too painful; I don’t want to bring them up again."

"Then forget it, Old Sun won’t ask."

Sun Wukong said directly.

This somewhat surprised the Eastern King.

According to Sun Wukong’s character, he should have been persistent with his questions.

But Sun Wukong had no intention of continuing to ask.

Sun Wukong patted the Eastern King’s shoulder and laughed, saying, "We’re all brothers, and you’re the senior. Old Sun doesn’t want to reopen old wounds. Some things, Old Sun will surely know in the future, and even if you don’t say, Old Sun can probably figure them out, so I won’t ask."

"Thank you."

The Eastern King expressed his gratitude.

The Queen Mother looked at Sun Wukong with even more tenderness in her eyes.

Such a considerate man was indeed heartwarming.

"Since everything is resolved, Old Sun should return to Huaguo Mountain. Zixia, are you coming to Huaguo Mountain as a guest, or are you planning to return?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"Can’t you stay with me for a little longer?"

The Queen Mother asked with some dissatisfaction.

She felt that Sun Wukong didn’t consider her important.

Otherwise, why would he repeatedly avoid her?

Leaving now clearly seemed like avoiding her.

Sun Wukong gave the Queen Mother a glance, shrugged, and said, "Old Sun would love to stay, but I fear I might not be able to control myself. Aren’t you aware of your own charm?"

The Queen Mother was initially a bit angry, but hearing Sun Wukong’s words, she immediately broke into a radiant smile.

She cast a sideways glance at Sun Wukong, knowing he was deliberately saying this to keep her from being upset, not necessarily meaning much of it.

But hearing it nonetheless made the Queen Mother happy.

"Hmph, you’ll say anything to make me happy. I also know you don’t want to lose your vigor around me and have to explain it to the two sisters on Huaguo Mountain, so I’ll spare you."

Only then did Sun Wukong breathe a sigh of relief.

However, in one aspect, he wasn’t lying.

The Queen Mother’s charm was indeed considerable, and if he stayed with her, especially with her intentional seduction, Sun Wukong might not be able to control himself.

Whether in terms of status or beauty, the Queen Mother had a strong allure for male Immortals.

Of course, old relics like the Eastern King didn’t count.

They had lived so long, possibly even witnessing the destruction of a world.

Beings like them could completely disregard emotions and desires, remaining unmoved no matter how charming.

The Queen Mother shifted her gaze to Zixia, and feeling a stirring in her heart, she smiled and said, "Zixia, if you’re free, why not stay in Kunlun for a few days? We can keep each other company and pass the time. I know many embarrassing stories about the Great Saint."

Initially, Zixia was going to refuse, but upon hearing the Queen Mother’s last sentence, her eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Sure! I’m quite curious about Kunlun."

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, realizing the other was just talking nonsense.

Curious about Kunlun? Clearly, she’s curious about him, isn’t she?
