177: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _4 177: Chapter 170: Destroying the Decree ‘The Grand Chapter of Ten Thousand Characters’ _4 Gou Chen Great Emperor’s face darkened, this was an overt threat.

However, he was still forced to accept this threat.

Chi You’s strength was formidable, and now he was utterly alone, without anything in this world that could threaten him personally.

Once he let loose, there were few in the Three Realms who would dare provoke Chi You.

With a cold snort, Gou Chen Great Emperor turned and left.

Longevity Great Emperor of the South Pole was the only one who had not taken action, he remained calm, smiling as he said, “Now that Gou Chen and Houtu have left, I should also take my leave, Great Emperor Ziwei has a great spirit, I wish you become the Great Heavenly Venerate soon.”

“Thank you, Longevity Great Emperor.”

Great Emperor Ziwei said with a beaming smile, making no effort to hide his ambition.

Longevity Great Emperor gave a slight smile, glanced at Wukong, and then departed.

“Everyone, let’s not let this disturbance spoil our mood, let’s continue drinking.”

Great Emperor Ziwei said smiling.

As for the body of Spiritual Official Wang, it had already been taken away by the Heavenly Soldiers and dealt with.

Wukong returned to his seat.

Ba transmitted a message, “Taking sides with Great Emperor Ziwei like this, the Jade Emperor and Houtu will despise you.”

Her expression slightly worried, from Wukong, Ba knew that the Jade Emperor was not dead.

He was merely feigning death, and would appear one day sooner or later.

Once the Jade Emperor returned, he would likely take action against Wukong.

After all, Wukong had disrupted many of the Jade Emperor’s plans over time.

Wukong merely smiled lightly, saying, “Even if I didn’t take sides with Ziwei, the Jade Emperor wouldn’t let me off, it’s better to strike first, this way I might actually gain some advantage.”

Ba gave a bitter smile, that was easy to say.

But now, there really was no room left for reconciliation between Wukong and the Jade Emperor.

Wukong saw her concerns, and with a cold laugh said, “Between him and me, there was never meant to be any room for reconciliation from the beginning, you need not worry, I fear him not.”

Seeing Wukong so resolute, Ba knew there must be something she was unaware of.

She didn’t ask further, as Wukong obviously had his reasons for keeping it to himself.

“Rest assured, I will always stand by your side, and my father as well, I will have him stand by your side too.”

Ba said earnestly.

Wukong looked at her deeply, then nodded his head.

He said nothing, but Ba felt that Wukong was not as adverse to her as before.

This was a subtle feeling, Ba even wondered if it might just be her imagination.

In the shadows, Maitreya and Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha, holding the Buddha’s decree, dared not show themselves.

“Let’s go back,” Maitreya said, shrinking his neck.

Even Spiritual Official Wang had been killed, if they dared to show up now and read out the Buddha’s decree, they would likely be directly attacked.

Great Emperor Ziwei would not hesitate to act against them.

After all, even Tathagata’s position was not as high as that of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The Jade Emperor’s last imperial edict was useless, bringing out Tathagata’s decree might just make a laughingstock of them.

They were not foolish, and could see that Great Emperor Ziwei was using this opportunity to establish his authority, preparing to ascend as the Great Heavenly Venerate.

If they dared to appear, their end would certainly be dire.

“Let’s go, back to Mount Ling, this matter is beyond our involvement.”

Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha also shrank his neck.

Especially since he noticed, Wukong’s strength was growing terrifyingly stronger.

If they dared show up, even if Great Emperor Ziwei did not make a move, Wukong alone could make them cry for their fathers.

And then there was Chi You, who clearly sided with Wukong, daring to challenge Gou Chen Great Emperor just to protect Wukong.

The two old monks, with worried faces, dejectedly returned to Mount Ling.

Wukong glanced outside, he had already noticed their presence long ago but simply did not bother to expose them.

The coronation ceremony, although with a minor hiccup, had completed smoothly in the end.

Amitabha Buddha, before leaving, invited Wukong to visit Pure Land, promising to host him well.

“Certainly.”

Wukong agreed.

Amitabha Buddha then left.

Everyone could see he was radiating joy, a picture of a man pleased with himself.

Soon, only Wukong and Great Emperor Ziwei’s people remained.

Seeing no outsiders, Great Emperor Ziwei finally sighed in relief.

“Today was really close, if Wukong you hadn’t acted in time, our coronation ceremony might have turned into a joke, the Jade Emperor really had some ideas, coming up with such a last imperial edict.”

Gold Star Taibai laughed, “It’s still Great Saint playing a clever move, acting unconventionally, catching them off guard; no one else could have displayed such decisiveness and strength.”

Spiritual Official Wang though a Heavenly Venerate, only a nearly invincible existence among the Heavenly Venerates like Wukong could suppress him thoroughly, leaving him no chance to retaliate.

No one else likely stood a chance against Spiritual Official Wang.

A Dharma Protector God of the Daoist Sect is not called so for nothing.

Ge Xuan frowned and said, “I worry that the Daoist Sect might not take kindly to the Great Saint.”

Wukong looked at him, replied, “When has the Daoist Sect ever liked me?

There’s nothing to worry about, whoever is dissatisfied, Old Sun will just have a chat with them.”

Seeing his assertiveness, Ge Xuan was torn between laughter and tears but said no more.

“Have you finished talking?”

Chi You, waiting nearby, spoke impatiently.

Ba glared at him, finding him noisy.

“If you don’t want to listen, go elsewhere, no one is forcing you.”

Chi You: “…”
