Chapter 52 The Eastern King's Righteous Heart Collapses
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, this farce continues.
At this moment, Dongwanggong was very frustrated. These guys in front of him were ignoring him completely in order to compete for the position of the head of the male immortals.
Isn't this bullying the honest person?
Hongjun never expected that, after he had already secured two major positions, everyone would now want to overturn his decision.
At this moment, Hongjun's expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and then he looked at Jieyin meaningfully.
Finally, her eyes pierced Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked at him, his eyes filled with innocence, clear and bewildered.
"Sanqing, are you brothers really going to break off your relationship over this?"
Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones who were about to start the battle and spoke in a calm tone. Although his tone was very soft, his aura was boundless.
Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Taiqing Laozi stared at each other, their anger clashing.
Because of Hongjun's words, the Three Pure Ones suppressed their anger and gradually calmed down.
"As I have said, everything is ordained by Heaven. The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother should be the leaders of the male and female immortals in the primordial world."
"This matter should not be disputed any further."
"Go then, three thousand years from now, I will begin to expound the Way of the Sage."
After Hongjun finished speaking, he closed his eyes, sat upright on the platform, and remained silent.
As soon as he finished speaking, Heaven sensed his presence and immediately bestowed boundless merit upon the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.
The master of the Primordial Immortal Court, the head of both male and female immortals, naturally enjoys the merits of the Heavenly Dao.
As the merits entered their bodies, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother also experienced a surge in magical power and a dramatic increase in their cultivation.
Looking around, the cultivation levels of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother in the entire Zixiao Palace were even higher than those of everyone else.
The Eastern King was naturally overjoyed. He glanced at the three Ling brothers provocatively, then looked up at everyone with arrogance.
The cycle of cause and effect is inescapable; retribution is inevitable.
He used to be a guy who was ridiculed by everyone, but now he has transformed into the order manager of the primordial world.
At this moment, with the departure of the Dao Ancestor, all the powerful beings turned their attention to the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.
Seeing that Dong Wanggong had stumbled upon a stroke of good luck, everyone immediately swarmed around him, fawning over him and expressing their willingness to follow his lead.
However, most of these people were among the weakest in Zixiao Palace.
They were not qualified to be recruited by Di Jun and Tai Yi, and the Wu Clan looked down on them.
Now that they have discovered that the Eastern King has value in following him, they naturally try their best to please him.
As for figures like the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, and Emperor Jun and Taiyi, they didn't even glance at the Eastern King Duke.
Why?
Their strength, vision, and level are completely different!
"Hmph, so what if he's the head of the male immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor?"
"If anyone dares to provoke us, we'll make sure they know what real strength is."
"Yes, look how smug that Eastern King is. He's just a petty man who's gotten his way!"
After leaving Zixiao Palace, those truly powerful beings discussed the matter with utter disdain.
Surrounded by a group of people, Dongwanggong walked out of Zixiao Palace triumphantly, holding a dragon-headed cane in his hand. He stopped when he reached Lingxiao's side.
Then he gave Ling Xiao a mocking look.
The gist of it is, you never expected things to turn out this way, did you?
Ling Xiao remained calm. A person used as a whetstone is not far from death. To get angry with such a person would only lower one's own status.
Zhunti looked at Dongwanggong and sneered, "Do you think you're all that? You dare to disrespect my elder brother! Have you forgotten how you were both his disciple and his mount before? Try looking at him again!"
The Eastern King was already furious, his face turning ashen. But before he could speak, his sycophants, who were trying to curry favor with him, became anxious.
At this moment, they rushed to defend the Eastern King.
The strength of Jieyin and Zhunti is naturally incomparable to that of these guys.
Just two powerful pressures were enough to send these people flying.
Seeing his subordinates blasted away, Dongwanggong became even more enraged, roaring, "I am protected by the merits of the Heavenly Dao, and I am the head of all male immortals in the primordial world. How dare you disrespect me?"
The group of innate deities in the distance, such as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Dijun, and Taiyi, all gave a cold smile.
What commands respect has always been strength, followed by virtue.
This Eastern King doesn't possess either of those attributes.
Who would respect someone like that?
The Eastern King looked at Ling Xiao with eyes full of resentment and malice. Thinking of all the humiliations he had suffered before, his emotions finally erupted.
His eyes widened as he shouted at Ling Xiao, "I've waited so many years! I've been waiting for this opportunity. I want to prove myself, not to show anyone how great I am, but to tell everyone that what I've lost, I will get back!!"
Ling Xiao remained calm, stroking his chin with one hand, and smiled slightly, saying, "Giving you a chance to become stronger is useless; it won't bring back what you've lost."
The Eastern King was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What have I lost?"
Ling Xiao looked at him with pity, then didn't look at him again, instead taking Jieyin and Zhunti and heading straight away from Zixiao Palace.
In Dongwanggong's sight, the man receded further and further away, until his figure gradually blurred in his eyes...
"Dignity, self-confidence, and one more person who, when everyone else is laughing at you, is the only one willing to become a ray of light."
Standing still, Dongwanggong heard Lingxiao's voice in his ears.
Click!
It sounded like a mirror or glass shattering, with a crisp, clear sound.
pain!
Dong Wanggong took a deep breath, his chest aching slightly.
It felt like an awl suddenly piercing my heart, churning and twisting wildly.
This truly proves the saying: lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.
For a moment, Dongwanggong was bewildered. He looked at the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Dijun, and Taiyi, and he clearly saw the mockery and ridicule in the eyes of each of them.
All the truly renowned saints looked at him with utter contempt.
Dignity is gone.
What about self-confidence?
Can I really gather a group of strong and ambitious people, establish a celestial court, and avenge my grievances?
must be able to!
The Eastern King looked anxiously at the faces in front of the Purple Cloud Palace. He looked left and right, as if trying to find the person with whom he used to talk about everything.
But when the Queen Mother of the West passed by him again, she didn't even glance at him...
"Fellow Daoist, we..."
"Who is your fellow Daoist? I, the Queen Mother of the West, have no intention of establishing a Celestial Court, so please step aside."
"Fellow Daoist, it was my fault before."
"roll!"
With a resolute expression, the Queen Mother of the West, in her stunningly beautiful figure, swiftly and decisively departed.
Dongwanggong froze, then his face contorted with rage. "As expected! She was just watching me make a fool of myself. Humph! She really doesn't know what's good for her!"
"Ling Xiao, you all stop right there!"
Dongwanggong shouted, stopping the three Lingxiao brothers. He didn't want to lose face in front of so many innate deities.
After all, he was the head of the male immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor.
With so many followers around me, how can I be afraid?
At this moment, the group of cultivators who were following the Eastern King Duke stepped forward and surrounded the three Ling brothers.
"You have quite the nerve, daring to offend Fellow Daoist Dongwanggong!"
"To make things difficult for Fellow Daoist Dongwang is to make things difficult for us!"
"You all, apologize to him immediately!"
"Yes, if you don't apologize, you're not leaving today!"
Seeing this situation, it seemed that a fight was about to break out. The group of innate saints who were about to leave stopped and looked at each other with meaningful eyes.
