Chapter 1035: Chapter 315 Emperor Jun’s Wrath_4
Not long after Changxi left, Yang Jian arrived.
His eyes shone with divine light, scanning the surroundings. After ensuring there were no enemies, he finally fixed his gaze on Sun Wukong and the others.
“Lord Taiyin was injured. Was it Changxi’s doing?”
Yang Jian asked, somewhat surprised.
He knew of Lord Taiyin’s background, but he hadn’t expected Changxi to actually harm her own daughter, even trying to kill her.
Sun Wukong nodded, saying, “Yes, it was indeed Changxi. Luckily, Old Sun had a sudden thought and arrived just in time. It was close; the Star Lord was almost killed by Changxi.”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Yang Jian couldn’t help but shake his head, saying, “Emperor Jun’s lineage is indeed cruel. Even a tigress does not eat her cubs.”
This remark essentially implied that Emperor Jun’s lineage was worse than beasts.
Even such a vicious creature as a tiger would not kill its offspring.
“We can’t stay here. We should take Lord Taiyin near the Ziwei Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, I’m worried the Star Lord might be in danger.”
Yang Jian nodded, smiling as he said, “It’s only right. Star Lord, please.”
Lord Taiyin hesitated for a moment, seemingly reluctant to leave.
“There’s no need to go through such trouble. In the end, I am their child, and I have indeed done things that wronged them. If they wish to kill me, then let them. I would feel a bit more at peace.”
Lord Taiyin said wistfully.
Since betraying her parents, she had been waiting for this day.
Now that it had finally come, Lord Taiyin felt a sense of liberation,
so when Sun Wukong and the others wanted her to leave, she was instead unwilling to agree.
She wanted to wait here for her parents to kill her, which would be a complete relief.
Hearing Lord Taiyin’s words, Yang Jian said in a deep voice, “Star Lord, you are mistaken. You have made great contributions to the living beings of heaven and earth. Why should you be killed by them? They are wrong, not you. Hence, there is no need for you to feel guilty.”
“But…”
“Sister Taiyin, let’s not have any ‘buts.’ Just listen to the Great Saint and the Judicial Deity. They wouldn’t steer you wrong.”
Nu Ba held Lord Taiyin’s hand, persuading her.
Seeing everyone speaking like this, a hint of movement finally appeared on Lord Taiyin’s face.
Sun Wukong gave Yang Jian a look.
Yang Jian smiled and said, “Star Lord, please. If you feel I, Yang Jian, do not have enough sway to convince you, then I will have the Great Emperor Ziwei himself invite you.”
Lord Taiyin was so startled that she jumped.
She quickly said, “No need, I’ll go with the Judicial Deity now. You’re joking, Judicial Deity. You are the Second Heavenly Emperor. Who would dare think you lack sway?”
She was indeed a bit embarrassed, thinking that if she refused any further, she would be refusing a kind gesture.
So, Lord Taiyin finally agreed.
Seeing her agreement, Sun Wukong and the others smiled.
Once Yang Jian left with Lord Taiyin, Sun Wukong also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least one problem was solved and there would be no need to worry about Lord Taiyin being killed by Changxi and the others in the future.
To kill around Ziwei Hall, even Emperor Jun would be courting death.
The current Heavenly Court is completely different from the past Ziwei Heavenly Court.
Back then, even the Lord of Heaven Ancestor dared to block the door of the Ziwei Heavenly Court, preventing the Great Emperor Ziwei and others from going to the rescue.
Now, not even The Three Pure Ones would dare to do that lightly,
let alone Emperor Jun, whose power, though strong, doesn’t match The Three Pure Ones.
“Great Saint, you really are a good person.”
Nu Ba suddenly said.
Sun Wukong glanced at Nu Ba, scratched his head, and couldn’t help but say, “Why does it feel like you’re insulting me?”
Nu Ba: “…”
“I’m just doing what I want to do; it doesn’t make me a good person.”
Sun Wukong laughed.
He understood what Nu Ba meant, that she thought he was a good person for saving Lord Taiyin.
But Sun Wukong didn’t think of it that way at all.
Isn’t saving someone a normal thing to do? Besides, he had a good relationship with Lord Taiyin.
Adding in Tianpeng and the Nishang Fairy’s relationship, it would be abnormal if Sun Wukong didn’t save Lord Taiyin.
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Nu Ba smiled slightly and said no more.
She knew in her heart that sometimes the Great Saint was too modest.
Doing good deeds but not considering oneself a good person, what kind of logic is that?
They returned to Huaguo Mountain, feeling no need to go to the Heavenly Court.
After all, no place was as comfortable as their own home.
Nu Ba felt the same way since Huaguo Mountain was also her home now.
Changxi fled back to the Western Continent, returning to Emperor Jun’s Traveling Palace.
Seeing Changxi’s angry face, Emperor Jun and the others looked surprised.
Could it be that Changxi failed?
“Where’s that unfilial daughter?”
Emperor Jun asked.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow was also worried, though not about Lord Taiyin’s safety, but worried that she wasn’t killed, which would certainly upset him.
With a look of frustration, Changxi said, “I failed. That unfilial daughter was saved by Sun Wukong. He even called upon strong allies from the Heavenly Court. If I forced a move, I would definitely be besieged by the Heavenly Court’s forces.”
Hearing it was Sun Wukong again, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow couldn’t help but grit his teeth and shout angrily, “It’s that Sun Wukong again.”
Suddenly, everyone’s attention turned to the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
They were a bit puzzled; hadn’t the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow just wanted to plead for Taiyin?
