338: Chapter 197: Shackles_4 338: Chapter 197: Shackles_4 True Martial Great Emperor shouted furiously. He was really infuriated by Sun Wukong, who had subdued him in front of so many subordinates. This incident had left him wondering where to place his face in the future, and True Martial Great Emperor really wished he could teach Sun Wukong a lesson right then. A hint of a smile flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes as he calmly said, “Fine, I’ll release you now, hoping you will fight me.” Having said that, he released the Art of Ice Sealing. The figure of True Martial Great Emperor rushed out, but he did not strike at Sun Wukong; instead, he rolled his eyes and seriously composed himself. “You reckless monkey, daring to treat me like this.” After composing himself, True Martial Great Emperor glared at Sun Wukong with some dissatisfaction. Sun Wukong remained indifferent, too lazy to reply, his face expressing ‘if you’re not convinced, come fight me.’ This left True Martial Great Emperor speechless. If he were capable of defeating Sun Wukong right then, he would definitely have made a move. With a cold snort, True Martial Great Emperor finally said, “Great Saint, what do you want from me?” Sun Wukong’s smile faded as he stared at True Martial Great Emperor and asked, “Do you remember? You owe me a life?” True Martial Great Emperor was slightly silent, then nodded. He was naturally aware of it. In the last battle with Kunpeng, if it weren’t for Sun Wukong’s rescue, he would have been dead. So, he indeed owed Sun Wukong a life. “Now is the time for you to repay that debt,” Sun Wukong continued. True Martial Great Emperor gave a bitter smile as he already understood Sun Wukong’s intent. “Does the Great Saint want me to pledge allegiance to Ziwei Heavenly Court?” With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Sun Wukong meant exactly that. His eyes, gleaming with golden light, stared at True Martial Great Emperor, waiting for his response. The expression of True Martial Great Emperor changed, and after a long pause, he finally asked Sun Wukong, “I just want to ask the Great Saint one thing.” With a faint smile, Sun Wukong said, “Ask away.” “Is the Jade Emperor alive?” True Martial Great Emperor already knew that the Jade Emperor was Sun Wukong’s master. But whether the Jade Emperor was alive, he was not sure. Now, he only needed one word from Sun Wukong. True Martial Great Emperor did not want to die, nor did he want to be purged by Great Emperor Ziwei. If the Jade Emperor was alive, dying now would be a great loss, unworthy of himself. If the Jade Emperor had died, sticking to a dead Supreme of the Three Realms and not acknowledging a new Supreme of the Three Realms would truly be foolish. Even in death, he would be mocked. The only thing on his mind was whether the Jade Emperor was alive or dead. Sun Wukong stared at True Martial Great Emperor, as if seeing through his heart. He smiled faintly and said, “Alive, and very well. Last time, I almost killed him; if it weren’t for the Primordial Demonic Qi reviving me, I would have been killed by this master of mine.” True Martial Great Emperor showed a relieved expression. He had received the answer he wanted. Since the Jade Emperor was still alive, his so-called persistence was a joke. Sun Wukong’s words he believed. True Martial Great Emperor could feel the enormous hatred and thick murderous intent Sun Wukong harbored against the Jade Emperor while speaking, If the Jade Emperor were dead, Sun Wukong would not behave in this manner. With this thought, True Martial Great Emperor’s eyes flashed with anger. He coldly said, “If one day, I meet the Jade Heavenly Venerate again, I must ask him why he disregarded the welfare of the common people of the Three Realms, why he faked his death causing chaos in the Three Realms, and ask him if he feels guilty?” Seeing True Martial Great Emperor filled with righteous indignation, Sun Wukong wanted to speak but stopped himself. He really wanted to tell True Martial Great Emperor that if the Jade Emperor had any conscience, he wouldn’t have done such things. Asking someone heartless if they feel guilty is like playing a lute to a cow. However, since this was True Martial Great Emperor’s obsession, Sun Wukong naturally wouldn’t interfere. “True Martial, are you now willing to pledge allegiance to Ziwei Heavenly Court? I can’t guarantee anything else, but Ziwei is a person unlike the Jade Emperor; he truly cares for the common people. Becoming subjugated to Great Emperor Ziwei, you definitely won’t regret it,” Sun Wukong said with a smile. True Martial Great Emperor nodded and said gravely, “I have great respect for Great Emperor Ziwei, and it would be an honor to become a subordinate to Great Emperor Ziwei. Great Saint, you can take me to Ziwei Heavenly Palace now; I am going to pledge allegiance to the heavens.” Sun Wukong, however, waved his hands and said, “Go by yourself; I only passed by to persuade you, and I don’t wish to run anymore. Soon, I will head directly back to my Huaguo Mountain.” True Martial Great Emperor was slightly startled and said with some surprise, “True Martial is not a self-deprecating person. Being able to make True Martial pledge allegiance is surely a great achievement; does the Great Saint not want this credit?” Sun Wukong laughed, glancing at True Martial Great Emperor as he quipped, “Who am I?” “You are the Great Sage Equalling Heaven,” True Martial Great Emperor said with certainty. Sun Wukong’s smile brightened as he continued, “What is my relationship with that Ziwei fellow?” “Of course, it’s like that of monarch and subject... oh, wrong.” True Martial Great Emperor quickly realized his mistake. Others might have a monarch-subject relationship with Great Emperor Ziwei, but that was definitely not the case for Sun Wukong and True Martial Great Emperor. He expressed a sudden realization, laughing as he said, “It’s my fault for forgetting; the relationship between the Great Saint and Great Emperor Ziwei doesn’t require asking for favors; we are all one family.” “You’re asking for a beating, aren’t you?” Sun Wukong glanced sideways at True Martial Great Emperor. These Immortal Gods of the Three Realms, all formal on the surface but wildly unconventional inside, they know nothing! If they dare to joke about him again, he would beat each one with a stick, knocking out all their teeth; then they would finally behave themselves.
