248: Chapter 182 Shao Siming_6 248: Chapter 182 Shao Siming_6 This indeed shocked Sun Wukong a bit. Ao Zhan could actually sense the Qi of the Jade Emperor, something even the Great Emperor Ziwei had not managed to do. Could it be that Ao Zhan’s strength surpassed even the Great Emperor Ziwei? Looking into his eyes, Sun Wukong’s expression carried a hint of surprise. Seeing what Sun Wukong was thinking, Ao Zhan gave a light laugh, saying, “It’s not as mystical as you think. I am not that powerful. Our Dragon Clan’s lineage is after all different from other living beings; we possess some unique special abilities.” So that was it, Sun Wukong understood. Perhaps Ao Zhan’s special ability was related to sensing Qi. “According to our plans, we originally didn’t want to get involved in these matters, just intended to wait until the affairs of the Three Realms settled, then the Dragon Clan would choose whom to pledge loyalty to the Great Heavenly Venerate,” stated Ao Zhan calmly. This was indeed the way of the Dragon Clan, and Sun Wukong nodded silently to himself. With a bitter smile appearing on his lips, Ao Zhan said, “But we found that this idea seems a bit impractical now. The ancient gods are about to return, and if the Dragon Clan remains detached from the Three Realms, we could likely be the first to be wiped out by the ancient gods.” “So you pledged allegiance to the Great Emperor Ziwei, essentially looking to team up with him?” Sun Wukong figured out what the Dragon Clan intended. Nodding vigorously, Ao Zhan replied, “Exactly, that’s what we meant.” Sun Wukong understood. No wonder the Dragon Clan so readily agreed to submit to the Great Emperor Ziwei. Ao Zhan continued, “Actually, we are primarily betting on you. You probably don’t even realize your own influence in the Three Realms now, and with your strength, the Dragon Clan thinks that cooperating with you is the only way to protect ourselves.” Sun Wukong was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected the Dragon Clan to think this way. Thinking this over, Sun Wukong let out a wry laugh and said, “I myself am not sure if I can survive this calamity, yet you all think of collaborating with me; aren’t you overestimating me a bit?” Ao Zhan’s gaze was intense as he stared at Sun Wukong, saying, “Being able to support the Great Emperor Ziwei to the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate; no one has overestimated you. In fact, everyone in the Three Realms severely underestimated you. We initially thought that even with your help, the chances of the Great Emperor Ziwei assuming the position of the Great Heavenly Venerate were only 30%. We didn’t expect him to reach it so quickly, or withstand the attacks from three of the Four Heavenly Kings. Without you, the Great Emperor Ziwei could not have achieved this.” “Ao is right,” a hearty voice chimed in; the Great Emperor Ziwei had arrived. Sun Wukong and Ao Zhan had already noticed, but neither had mentioned it. Ao Zhan turned around, looking at the Great Emperor Ziwei and asked with a smile, “Great Heavenly Venerate, I hope you don’t mind what was said, as that was truly what Ao believes.” The Great Emperor Ziwei gave a faint smile, sitting down in another spot before saying, “Why would I mind? What you said is something I acknowledge too; indeed,if not for Wukong, not to mention a 30% chance, I wouldn’t have had even a 10% chance.” Before Ao Zhan could reply, the Great Emperor Ziwei continued, “Moreover, because of Wukong, you pledged allegiance to me, which isn’t important. Wukong and I are our own people; it doesn’t matter whom you pledge allegiance to.” Ao Zhan was somewhat astounded, not expecting the Great Emperor Ziwei to express such sentiments. He also saw that the Great Emperor Ziwei trusted Sun Wukong extremely, basically without any suspicion. This was very rare among rulers and subordinates. Ao Zhan also felt curious about the relationship between these two; why was it so good? He voiced his doubts. Rolling his eyes, Sun Wukong responded gruffly, “Who told you that we are in a ruler-subordinate relationship?” Ao Zhan paused, his expression turning somewhat peculiar. “Am I supposed to call the Great Saint ‘Empress’ instead?” Sun Wukong immediately pulled out the Jingu Bang, ready to strike. The Great Emperor Ziwei quickly intervened, clarifying hastily, “Brother Ao, you misunderstood. I and the Great Saint are brothers, half-brothers to be precise, which is why our relationship is so good, with no suspicions between us.” Ao Zhan was stunned for a moment at this relationship. However, their relationship was not as warped as he had thought. Ao Zhan chuckled awkwardly and raised his cup to apologize to Sun Wukong. “Great Saint, I misunderstood, and I apologize to you.” Sun Wukong then snorted coldly and didn’t say anything else. “Forget it, you guys talk; I, Old Sun, am leaving first,” he said impatiently, waving his hand and walking away. Ao Zhan and the Great Emperor Ziwei exchanged looks and couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter. The monkey was angered, unable to take a joke. However, Ao Zhan stayed behind to talk with the Great Emperor Ziwei. This was a good opportunity, seeing as from now on, they would both be the subjects of the Great Emperor Ziwei. Instead of going back to Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong went to a Temple of Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun and directly smashed it. Taiyi Suffering Heavenly Venerate Tianzun was in the Heavenly Court, but he sensed this act. He was so furious that he puffed up his cheeks and glared, practically wanting to descend and kill Sun Wukong himself. Looking up at the sky, Sun Wukong sneered and said, “That’ll teach you not to shamelessly gang up two against one; if there’s a next time, Old Sun won’t just smash your temple.” After that, Sun Wukong found another temple belonging to the Great Emperor Gou Chen, which also had a thriving stream of incense visitors. Without another word, Sun Wukong immediately smashed it, thankfully without injuring any of the incense visitors. The Great Emperor Gou Chen sensed Sun Wukong’s actions right away; his expression darkened, and he was instantly furious. Smashing a deity’s temple was practically the same as a direct slap to the face; this was a declaration of a deep grudge.
