He glanced back at the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor, sighed inwardly, and abandoned the idea.
If not for the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor, he really wanted to switch allegiance to Great Emperor Ziwei.
At least for now, it seemed that if the Jade Emperor did not appear, Great Emperor Ziwei could possibly dominate the entire Three Realms.
Moreover, even if the Jade Emperor appeared, the strength that Great Emperor Ziwei had gathered wasn’t without the power to fight.
Amidst tumultuous thoughts, the Dragon Clan had already arrived close by.
Ao Zhan stepped forward, pointed at Puhua Heavenly Venerate, and said sternly, “By the command of Ziwei Heavenly Venerate, I have come to capture the rebellious Nineth Heaven Suppressor Thunderous Heavenly Venerate.
Present yourself immediately and surrender.”
No one paid heed to Ao Zhan.
Puhua Heavenly Venerate stood there motionless, waiting for the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor to make a move.
As expected, the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor stepped forward, sized up Ao Zhan, then shook his head and sighed.
Ao Zhan’s eyebrows rose—what did this old fart mean?
The corners of the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor’s mouth curled up in a mocking smile as he said indifferently, “I never expected that a son of the Ancestral Dragon would stoop to being someone else’s lapdog.
If the Ancestral Dragon knew, I wonder how heartbroken he would be.”
Ao Zhan’s brow furrowed, and he retorted with a cold laugh, “Longevity Great Emperor, you are one of the Four Heavenly Kings and yet you cannot see the will of the heavens.
For your own selfish desires, you protect a rebel of the Heavenly Court, amass private troops, and cause the Three Realms to be fragmented.
If I were you, I would’ve hidden away in shame long ago, not daring to face others, unlike you who still dares to come forward and provoke dissension, mocking us.”
The South Pole Longevity Great Emperor did not expect Ao Zhan to be so articulate, his expression stiffened into a cold sneer.
“You may be content to be the lackey of others, but we are not willing to stoop to such matters.
The son of the Ancestral Dragon is merely this, and the Sea Dragon Clan is even more so,” the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor said coldly.
The Sea Dragon Clan indeed looked furious.
Being part of the Dragon Clan was their greatest pride.
But now they were being demeaned as though they amounted to nothing.
Ao Zhan scanned the strong members of the Dragon Clan and proclaimed, “Fellow clansmen, do not be swayed by this man’s bewitching words.
Great Emperor Ziwei has been granted the title of Heaven Sealing Emperor by the common people, and we of the Dragon Clan also serve the common people of the Three Realms.
It is our honor to help Great Emperor Ziwei guard the Three Realms.
Without the grace of Great Emperor Ziwei, who would respect our Four Seas Dragon Clan?
How could we control the Thunder Department?”
“Do not forget, the Thunder Department is the most important division of the Heavenly Court, related to the stability of the Three Realms.
How esteemed is that?
Could it be dismissed by his mere words?”
The hearts of the Sea Dragon Clan shook.
They contrasted their status before and after controlling the Thunder Department, and suddenly felt that what Ao Zhan said was very true.
If not for the grace of Great Emperor Ziwei, where would the Sea Dragon Clan have gotten such status?
Naturally, they trusted Ao Zhan’s words completely, as after all, Ao Zhan was their own forebear.
If they couldn’t believe their own forebear, whom else could they trust?
“Hehe, do you think with the power of your Dragon Clan, that you’re capable of ruling the Three Realms?
Are you willing to contentedly be subservient to others and not aspire to become the Supreme Race that governs the Three Realms?”
the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor continued to say.
His words immediately lit a fire in the eyes of many members of the Dragon Clan.
To govern the Three Realms, the Supreme Race?
Naturally, they wanted to become such a race, and a flame kindled in the hearts of countless Dragon Clan members.
If Great Emperor Ziwei could dominate the Three Realms, why couldn’t they, the four great Heavenly Venerates of the Dragon Clan?
In a void, Great Emperor Ziwei clenched his fists.
He transmitted his voice to Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, “Can I change the target?
I want to kill that bastard Longevity; he’s too sly, inciting discord like this.”
Sun Wukong and Yang Jian deeply understood the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor.
His recent speech, if the Dragon Clan were not led by someone as resolute as Ao Zhan, could have actually caused trouble, and while it might not immediately lead to rebellion, it would sow seeds of ambition in the hearts of the Dragon Clan.
The South Pole Longevity Great Emperor’s intentions were condemnable; even they wanted to kill the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor.
Still, they remained rational.
“Your Majesty, shall we first kill Puhua Heavenly Venerate?” Yang Jian said gravely.
“The strength of the Longevity Great Emperor is immense, and even if we were to join forces and ambush him, we would likely have a hard time capturing him.”
The strength of the Four Heavenly Kings and a Venerate of the Thunder Department were of a different order.
They were ninety percent certain they could kill Puhua Heavenly Venerate, but the chance of successfully ambushing and killing the Longevity Great Emperor was less than ten percent.
“It’s a pity I am not strong enough.
If I had the Jade Emperor’s strength, what nonsense Longevity Great Emperor—his death would be indisputable,” Great Emperor Ziwei said with some annoyance.
Although his strength had increased rapidly recently, it still paled in comparison to the Jade Emperor’s.
“There will be time in the future.
Why the hurry?
The initiative is currently in our hands; they are the ones who should be anxious,” Sun Wukong said, rolling his eyes at Great Emperor Ziwei and speaking irritably.
Wukong was often described as hot-tempered.
But he felt that Great Emperor Ziwei was even more hasty than himself.
Surpassing the Jade Emperor wasn’t an easy task; it certainly required a lengthy period of accumulation.
While the three conversed, the outside world remained unaware of their presence nearby.
Not only did the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor think that Great Emperor Ziwei would not launch a sneak attack, but Lady Houtu and Gou Chen Great Emperor also held the same belief.
This was a testament to Great Emperor Ziwei’s good character; even his enemies trusted him.
However, after this event was over, they probably would no longer believe in Great Emperor Ziwei’s character.
Ao Zhan scoffed with contempt, saying mockingly, “The Supreme Race?
Heh, what a joke.
Our Dragon Clan in Ancient Times was more than ten times stronger than now.
But what of it?
In the struggle for the position between heaven and earth, we nearly faced extinction.
What Supreme Race?
Let those who wish for it take it.
We of the Dragon Clan simply desire not to be bullied by others.”
At this, Ao Zhan’s eyes flashed fiercely, “I’ll ask one more time, will you hand him over or not?”
Having failed to incite division, a momentary look of regret flashed in the South Pole Longevity Great Emperor’s eyes.
He composed his face, showing no emotion, but emanating the dignity of a Great Emperor, he said sternly, “It is impossible to hand him over.”
