372: Chapter 203: The Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s Mansion 372: Chapter 203: The Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s Mansion When constructing the Great Sage’s Mansion, Lady Houtu appeared. Her gaze was cold and distant as she watched the group of immortals building the Great Sage’s Mansion, which sent shivers down their spines and froze them in place, not daring to make a move. Everyone tensed up. This was the Empress herself, and the construction of the Great Sage’s Mansion was undoubtedly something hard for Lady Houtu to tolerate. It was very likely she would intervene to stop them from doing so. However, after a short glance, Lady Houtu turned and left. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. They exchanged glances, seeing the relief in each other’s eyes. If Lady Houtu had intervened, they would not have known what to do. They were no match for Lady Houtu and would have been unable to withstand her. Fortunately, Lady Houtu eventually retreated. Right after Lady Houtu withdrew, Ao Zhan arrived. The immortals hurried to pay their respects. “We’ve seen Heavenly Venerate.” They quickly paid their respects. Ao Zhan was the Heavenly Venerate of the Thunder Department, and his status was exalted. With his personal appearance, the ordinary immortals naturally had to salute. After glancing over at them, Ao Zhan said indifferently, “There’s no need to worry, continue to build the Great Sage’s Mansion, no one will dare to lay a hand on you.” “Yes.” The immortals immediately relaxed. The power of the Ziwei Heavenly Court had already been established. In the Three Realms, there weren’t many who would dare to offend the Ziwei Heavenly Court so easily. Therefore, with Ao Zhan saying such words, they naturally trusted him. Ao Zhan glanced in the direction Lady Houtu had left and let out a cold chuckle. She still thought she was the Empress? In his view, the current Lady Houtu was merely lingering on her last breath. If it weren’t for the fear of causing turmoil between heaven and earth, and the Jade Emperor behind Lady Houtu, Great Emperor Ziwei would have already taken action against her. But at this time, Lady Houtu and the Longevity Great Emperor were only lingering on, and it would only be a matter of time before they were taken down. Once Great Emperor Ziwei’s power increased further, it would probably be time for him to act. Turning the Ling Xiao Palace into the Great Sage’s Mansion was a deliberate act to erase the Jade Emperor’s influence and traces within the Three Realms. Great Emperor Ziwei had already started on such actions, and the time for him to make his move was not far off. “My lady, that Great Emperor Ziwei is too bullying, can you really bear it? Let me go out and kill all those immortals, shall I?” An ancient fierce god spoke, a peacock who transformed into a woman after taking humanoid form. Her heart was filled with murderous intent, and her face showed indignation. The twelve fierce gods were left with eleven, but they had all been given life by Lady Houtu and were absolutely loyal to her. Seeing Lady Houtu humiliated, the eleven fierce gods were also very angry. If they had not been ordered otherwise, they would have already taken action. After glancing at the peacock, Lady Houtu said, “Kong Rui, the situation is stronger than people now. If I take action, it’s just giving Great Emperor Ziwei an opportunity to strike. In fact, we no longer have the right to contend with Great Emperor Ziwei.” “Is the Ziwei Heavenly Court really that powerful now?” Kong Rui said incredulously. Lady Houtu said with a bitter smile, “The Ziwei Heavenly Court now has at least about eighty percent of the Heavenly Court’s strength at its peak. The only reason why Great Emperor Ziwei has not made a move against me is because he has not yet increased his power enough to be sure that after killing me, he can withstand the Jade Emperor’s retaliation. If he increases his strength a bit more, he will take action against me. So for them, I’m just clinging to life.” Kong Rui found it hard to believe. Had things really reached this point? How long had it been? From Ziwei’s ascension to now, it wasn’t even a hundred years. And yet, the Ziwei Heavenly Court had developed to such a terrifying extent. “It’s all because of that Sun Wukong. If it wasn’t for him, Ziwei would not have ascended, and my lady wouldn’t have to suffer like this. I will go kill that Sun Wukong.” A cold light flashed in Kong Rui’s eyes. After looking at Kong Rui, Lady Houtu said in a deep voice, “Come back here.” Kong Rui’s expression stiffened, and she had no choice but to retreat. “Even I can’t kill that monkey. Even if the eleven of you went together, it wouldn’t be possible to defeat him. He has been united with the Root of Immortality, and even the Jade Emperor finds it difficult to kill him. What are you going to use to kill him?” Kong Rui was very unconvinced, but in the end, she could only sigh dejectedly. She knew that Lady Houtu was telling the truth. Even if she felt unwilling in her heart, there was nothing she could do. “My lady, are we just going to let things go on like this? Just waiting here to die, sitting ducks?” Kong Rui couldn’t help saying. Waiting here to die, she truly couldn’t resign herself to that. Dying in battle would be better than waiting for someone else to come and kill her. Doing nothing at all was just too unbearable. Lady Houtu’s eyes flashed with determination, and she said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you, and I won’t die. Even if I leave the Heavenly Realm, it won’t be so easy for them to kill me.” Seeing Lady Houtu speak like this, Kong Rui could only nod. A fierce light flashed in her eyes as she viciously said, “One day, I’m definitely going to kill that Sun Wukong.” Lady Houtu said nothing, but her heart most likely held the same thought. The Longevity Great Emperor also knew all of this. At this moment, he stood before Shao Siming, with a slightly troubled look on his face. “Shao Siming, it looks like we need to prepare early. If nothing unexpected happens, Great Emperor Ziwei may not take long before he makes a move against me.” Shao Siming said indifferently, “Are you that afraid of dying?” The Longevity Great Emperor gave a wry smile and said, “It’s not that I’m afraid of dying, it’s that I don’t want to die like this. I still want to wait for my emperor to return, to rule over the Three Realms. Dying now would be meaningless.”
