“Is the Heavenly Court short-handed?”
Great Yi suddenly asked.
Sun Wukong and the others were startled.
Could it be that Great Yi wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to take up a post?
Thinking of this, Yang Jian immediately nodded and said, “Yes, we are very short-handed.
The Heavenly Court must face too many enemies, and we lack powerful beings capable of deterring the world, at least of the Great Heavenly Venerate Realm.”
While there are Supremes in this world, maintaining stability in various places only requires Great Heavenly Venerates.
If a Supreme makes a move, that signals an all-out war.
Therefore, under general circumstances, Supremes won’t make a move, at most it would be the Sub-Supreme.
A powerful being like Great Yi, even though not a Sub-Supreme, is infinitely close to one and can even contend with a Sub-Supreme, making him precisely the kind of strong being the Heavenly Court urgently needs.
Hearing Yang Jian’s words, Great Yi pondered for a moment.
He nodded slightly and said, “I am willing to join the Heavenly Court and guard the living beings of heaven and earth together with the Heavenly Court.
Please, Judicial Deity, accept Great Yi.”
Yang Jian was overjoyed and quickly said, “With Great God Great Yi joining us, the Heavenly Court will undoubtedly become even stronger.”
Great Yi smiled bitterly, shaking his head, and said, “Judicial Deity overpraises me.
My insignificant strength is hardly worthy of the Heavenly Court’s attention.
I just hope the Heavenly Court won’t disdain me, and I also wish to contribute to the living beings of heaven and earth.”
“You are too modest, Great God.”
Yang Jian remarked with emotion.
Even he grew up listening to stories about Great Yi.
Great Yi shooting the sun, Heng’e fleeing to the moon.
In the hearts of the living beings of the Three Realms, Great Yi is undeniably a top-tier Great God and a great hero among the living beings of the Three Realms, and even he is no exception.
They returned to the Heavenly Court with the five captured Great Heavenly Venerates.
Shao Siming and the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow returned to their residences.
Baize was smiling confidently, looking as if he had the situation entirely under control.
He believed that this time success was in hand.
He had created a rift between the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Realm, and engineered an opportunity to kill Great Yi.
When the Crown Prince returned, he would surely praise him.
In truth, Baize did not value rewards very much.
But if he could gain the recognition of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, it would be a matter of great importance to him.
Only in this way could he prove his talents.
Sensing the return of the two, Baize appeared directly.
He walked up to the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow and asked with a smile, “Congratulations, Crown Prince, for killing Great Yi and clearing any obstacles from your Dao Heart.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, already in a bad mood, was even more infuriated by Baize’s words.
What kind of nonsense was this?
They had already been seen through, and it almost got them all killed.
Thinking of this, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow slapped Baize directly across the face.
The crisp sound of the slap landed on Baize’s face, leaving him stunned.
He covered his face and stepped back, full of astonishment, and asked incredulously, “Crown Prince, why did you hit your old servant?”
Baize was truly confused and had no idea what the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow meant.
Seeing the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s angry face and Shao Siming’s bloodstained body, Baize’s heart trembled.
He thought of a possibility.
Although it was hard to believe, from the looks of the two, it was clear they had suffered a major loss.
“Impossible.
Could it be that they saw through my plot and ambushed the Crown Prince and Shao Siming?”
Baize said incredulously, his face full of disbelief.
If that were the case, it’s no wonder the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow slapped him.
Who wouldn’t want to slap him if their young master was almost put in mortal danger?
Thinking of this, Baize knelt on the ground.
“Baize is incompetent.
Please, Crown Prince, punish me.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow snorted coldly, his expression icy, carrying a sense of anger.
“Baize, I thought you were unparalleled in your wisdom.
I didn’t expect you to be just a paper strategist, empty in name.
This whole time, with you by my side, we’ve been continuously failing, and our forces keep dwindling.
If it weren’t for the fact that you are an old servant of my father, loyal to both my father and me, I would have killed you.”
Baize trembled with fear.
At this moment, he no longer had any pride of a strategist, groveling on the ground like a dog wagging its tail in pity.
As for the so-called strategist, if he could not play his role, he was no better than a useless person.
“Thank you for your magnanimity, Crown Prince.
Rest assured, Crown Prince, this old servant will never make such mistakes again and will certainly help you turn the tide.”
Baize kowtowed like pounding garlic, anxiously speaking.
How could he have known that the living beings of today were so smart?
These schemes, in Ancient Times, were quite effective.
It wasn’t that he was too stupid, but that the living beings of today were too clever.
He had never imagined that Sun Wukong and the others could see through his entire arrangement.
“No need.
We don’t want to be harmed again.
If this continues, we both might end up dead because of you.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow said with a cold smile.
Hearing the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s words, Baize felt a chill all over his body.
He knew that at this moment, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow had completely lost trust in him.
Even if he made more plans and strategies, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow would not trust him.
Baize seemed to age ten thousand years in an instant.
He sighed and turned away.
Watching Baize depart, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s eyes showed a trace of reluctance.
