Chapter 1043: Chapter 318: The Challenge from the Golden Crow Crown Prince No.10
He was the one who offered the plan, yet he was also reminding Emperor Jun.
In the end, the other party seemed to be on guard against him, making Eastern Emperor Tai Yi almost curse.
This guy is just too ungrateful, isn’t he?
Seeing Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s unhappy expression, Emperor Jun laughed heartily and said: “Eastern Emperor, don’t mind me, I was just joking. You don’t have to take my words seriously.”
Only then did Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s expression slightly improve.
He said blandly: “In any case, I’ve said what I needed to say. How to act is entirely up to Brother Emperor. Tai Yi will take leave first.”
Having said this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure, a cold glint flashed in Emperor Jun’s eyes.
On Xihe’s peerless face, at this moment, there was a hint of gravity.
“Your Majesty, this Eastern Emperor Tai Yi is truly remarkable.”
Emperor Jun nodded slightly, reining in his smile, he said plainly, “Indeed remarkable. Not to mention, just those words earlier were quite terrifying.”
His expression was somewhat grave, not at all like the reckless impulsiveness of earlier.
“He calculated against the Three Pure Ones and future living beings, even if the Three Pure Ones knew of his machinations, they would be helpless. As long as we befriend the future living beings and help some of their insightful individuals escape the control of the Three Pure Ones, the future living beings will be friendly to us, and the Three Pure Ones certainly don’t want to see that happen. Even if they know it’s a conspiracy, they would still want to control the future living beings.”
A glint of sharpness flickered in Emperor Jun’s eyes.
“What if they don’t do that?”
Seeing Emperor Jun so certain, Changxi asked in surprise.
Emperor Jun shook his head and, smiling, said: “It’s impossible. Just with Lord Taishang alone, maybe it’s better, but with Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s personality, what do you think his reaction would be?”
“He would surely be dissatisfied with the future living beings, might even want to eliminate them, conflict is bound to happen. Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate’s arrogance doesn’t regard future living beings but treats them as ants. Once he acts, it will inevitably be violently, and at that time, the future living beings will certainly be provoked.”
Hearing Emperor Jun’s words, a hint of surprise appeared on Changxi’s peerless face.
“In this way, the confrontation between future living beings and the Three Pure Ones is as certain as if nailed down. This Eastern Emperor Tai Yi is truly ingenious.”
A trace of disdain crossed Xihe’s face, revealing some indifference.
“It’s merely taking advantage of the situation; it’s not remarkable. Given the future living beings’ development, they would have clashed with the Three Pure Ones even without us, just that it would happen a bit earlier now, and with our aid, increases their chances of winning.”
Hearing Xihe say this, Changxi couldn’t help but ask a question.
“Will the future living beings see through it? If they see through, then what?”
Emperor Jun and Xihe were at a loss for words.
They looked at each other.
They had thought of everything, except for this one aspect.
They were solely focused on how to manipulate the future living beings, not considering that if the future living beings saw through their schemes, then what?
Would the strong ones among the future living beings allow themselves to be manipulated like that?
“One step at a time. By then, it won’t be up to them, the Three Pure Ones won’t care if they are willing or not.”
Emperor Jun lightly smiled.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I have some questions I want to ask Little Ten.”
Emperor Jun suddenly said.
Xihe trembled slightly and couldn’t help but ask: “What does Your Majesty want to ask Little Ten?”
“How Baize died.”
Emperor Jun said coldly.
His eyes showed some chill, now calmed down, he had another speculation about Baize’s cause of death.
Although Baize was killed by Sun Wukong, there must be other reasons involved.
Because, that was Baize.
The one who knew everything in the heavens and the earth and could foresee fortunes and misfortunes.
He would avoid anything fatal, not taking any risks.
Therefore, if it were said that Baize died trying to calculate against Sun Wukong, he simply couldn’t believe it.
If there weren’t other reasons, Emperor Jun wouldn’t believe it.
The only one who could influence Baize was the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
Calmed down, having thought a lot, he came up with this idea.
Moreover, he knew the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow very well, aware that although he seemed obedient, he was most likely pretending,
How could he not understand what his own child was like?
Xihe’s expression slightly changed, feeling a sense of unease.
Although the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow had explained to her, saying Baize’s death had nothing to do with him, seeing Emperor Jun like this, Xihe had some doubts.
“Does Your Majesty suspect Little Ten did it? He couldn’t possibly have killed Baize.”
Xihe quickly said, trying to change the concept.
Emperor Jun meant that the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow had something to do with Baize’s death, while Xihe directly stated that the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow did not kill Baize.
If the matter was attributed to whether the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow killed Baize, just proving that Baize wasn’t killed by him would be enough.
But, if it were said that Baize’s death had any relation to the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, then it would be different.
Even if it slightly related to the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, Emperor Jun would punish the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
As the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, Xihe naturally didn’t want to see this happen.
Emperor Jun said blandly: “I know he couldn’t possibly have killed Baize, I just want to know if Baize’s death has any relation to him.”
“On this, I can answer the Heavenly Emperor.”
A charming laugh rang out, it was Shao Siming.
Emperor Jun glanced at her and said placidly: “Speak.”
“Baize conspired several times causing trouble, nearly resulting in the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s death multiple times. In anger, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow drove Baize away, unaware that Baize would actually plot against Sun Wukong, resulting in…”
