750: Chapter 263 Jie_6 750: Chapter 263 Jie_6 She had searched for a long time and finally confirmed the location of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow and made her way there.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow and Baize exchanged glances, feeling confident in their concealment, only to realize that Shao Siming had found them after all.
Feeling Shao Siming’s icy stare, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow gave a faint smile and said, “Shao Siming, it has been a long time indeed.”
Shao Siming sneered, her voice cold as she said, “You still have the face to smile at me, you ingrate?
The Senior Commander-in-Chief saved you, yet you betrayed us and disclosed my location to Sun Wukong and the others, causing the Senior Commander-in-Chief to lose an incarnation.
How should I deal with you?”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow smiled faintly, showing some disdain.
“Shao Siming, don’t play the victim first.
If it wasn’t for you and the Senior Commander-in-Chief plotting against us to kill me and then to use my father to strike the Heaven and Earth Barrier, I wouldn’t have told your hiding place to Sun Wukong and the others.
You brought this upon yourselves.”
Upon hearing the words of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, a murderous intent flashed across Shao Siming’s eyes.
She sneered and said, “Just because of your suspicion, you act against your benefactors, no wonder you were utterly devoid of humanity when The Three Pure Ones drove out Emperor Jun.
Ha!”
“Ha-ha, the mighty Shao Siming talks to me about humanity, don’t you find that laughable?
And do you have humanity?
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was also expelled, and you’re known as the Eastern Emperor’s most ruthless follower.
For someone like you to lecture me about humanity is the height of absurdity.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow roared with laughter, thinking he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Shao Siming’s face immediately turned iron blue.
Faced with the words of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, she had nothing to say.
“Besides, had you not intended to plot against me, why would I scheme against you?
Don’t bother with excuses; I am well aware of what you wanted to do, don’t think everyone in the world is a fool,” continued the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
“I will kill you,” Shao Siming hissed through clenched teeth.
She was seething with murderous rage, having come to utterly hate the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow.
Yet, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow didn’t care at all.
He said lightly, “You can’t kill me.
We are evenly matched in strength, and I have quite a number of allies.
You simply cannot kill me.”
At this point, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow continued sneering, “Moreover, once we start fighting, it will be hard to conceal the turmoil.
Once the Heavenly Court detects it, do you think with the current strength of the Heavenly Court, either of us could survive?”
Shao Siming’s eyes blazed with fire.
But she had to admit that what the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow said was true.
If they fought it out, and the Heavenly Court detected their location, they would likely be killed on the spot.
Neither of them would survive.
Thinking of this, Shao Siming took a deep breath, filled with reluctance.
Baize stepped forward, his expression serious as he said, “Shao Siming, in reality, you haven’t lost much.
It was just one of the Senior Commander-in-Chief’s incarnations that was killed, not the real person.
Besides, as I know, in about ten years, the two Supremes are planning to join forces to open the world’s barriers and return to the Three Realms.
There’s really no need for further conflict between us.”
As he spoke, Baize’s expression grew complex.
“The present world is different from the past as well.
Ancient Gods and Devils from the Primordial times are returning; who knows how many powerful figures are hidden.
I believe that after the two Heavenly Emperors return, they will likely join forces to vie for control of the Three Realms.
Relying on just one lineage will hardly be enough to truly rule the Three Realms.”
Shao Siming was also aware of this.
The rebirth of Primordial Gods and Devils had seen too many powerful entities emerge, along with those strong races.
Any race with a Supreme could muster at least a third of the original strength of the Heavenly Court.
With so many Supreme Races, conquering them obviously wouldn’t be easy.
Only if Emperor Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi joined forces could there be a chance to conquer the Three Realms.
Given that, there was even less reason for them to fight to the death now.
Eventually, they would all be on the same side, at least until they defeated the other contenders.
So why engage in a life-and-death struggle now?
Shao Siming, though domineering and ruthless, was not foolish.
She saw through all of this, took a deep breath, and finally dropped the idea of making a move.
“We’ll settle our accounts later,” Shao Siming said coldly.
Baize and the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow exchanged a glance, both slightly relieved.
As long as Shao Siming refrained from attacking, they could feel at ease.
As for everything else, that would be a matter for another time.
It’s highly likely that both parties will join forces, as not beginning a fight now is also a way to conserve their own strength.
“I can spare your lives, but someone must die.”
Shao Siming said coldly.
“Who?”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow asked.
In fact, he had already guessed who Shao Siming was referring to.
But in the heart of the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow, he didn’t quite agree with Shao Siming’s plan.
“Sun Wukong, we’ve reached this point because of him.
Before the Eastern Emperor and the others return, I must kill Sun Wukong, or else I won’t be able to quell the hatred in my heart.”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s expression darkened, his face taking on a somber look.
“Sun Wukong isn’t so easy to kill, he has become a Great Heavenly Venerate.
With your and my power combined, we still wouldn’t be able to kill him.”
If it were a mere Sub-Paramount strong being, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow might have given it a try.
But that person was Sun Wukong, and he felt there was no need to try.
A person that not even Supremes could kill, let alone Shao Siming and himself.
“What if we add another Supreme to our side?”
Shao Siming asked with a cold laugh.
Immediately, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow’s eyes lit up, saying, “We could try, but I have one condition, if we cannot kill him in a short period of time, we must retreat immediately.
If Sun Wukong catches us, it would be very dangerous.
The Black Robe Supreme from the other day is a living example.”
Shao Siming was of course aware of this, she sneered and said, “The Supreme I’ve found is even stronger than that Black Robe Supreme, and he is very cautious too, vanishing immediately if his strike misses.”
“Who?”
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow grew curious.
Which Supreme would dare to make a move against Sun Wukong now?
Isn’t he worried about getting into trouble?
“Yinghuo.”
Shao Siming expelled a name.
“The rival of the Fire God, Supreme Water God, it’s actually him, he’s really alive.”
Baize said in surprise.
The Tenth Son of the Golden Crow didn’t understand much about Yinghuo and looked perplexed.
He knew of the Fire God, but that was Zhurong.
Since when was there another Yinghuo?
Baize knew that the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow didn’t quite understand all this, so he immediately explained, “Yinghuo is a fire-path strong being from the dawn of creation, hence he is called the Fire God.
His strength is formidable, and he is a very cautious person, having once plotted to kill the Water God.”
At this point, Baize revealed a look of sudden realization.
“I understand now why Yinghuo would take action against Sun Wukong.
Not long ago, Sun Wukong brought the Water God to the Heavenly Court, and then Great Emperor Ziwei named the Water God as the Water Primordial Emperor, a position equivalent to the Five Elders of the Five Directions.
If I’m not mistaken, the Water God was willing to side with the Heavenly Court largely because they agreed to help her against the Fire God.
This is also the reason why the Fire God is willing to make a move.”
Shao Siming glanced at Baize, unable to help admiring his insight, “You are indeed clever, that’s right, it’s just as you’ve deduced.
That’s why Yinghuo sought me out, wanting to join forces with me.”
“This prince agrees,” he said.
With a Supreme entering the fray, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow agreed as well.
With this, there was a possibility of killing Sun Wukong.
If it were just them acting, the Tenth Son of the Golden Crow would definitely not be willing.
Only a fool would risk attempting something that’s known to be impossible.
Once targeted by the Heavenly Court, they would be in great danger.
It would be better to wait for ten more years, for their own fathers to return, before killing Sun Wukong then.
“This time I refuse to believe that Sun Wukong will not die.”
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and Shao Siming let out a sinister laugh.
