Chapter 278 The Jade Emperor's Terror

The Jade Emperor looked at Tathagata's embarrassment and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, is it difficult to answer?"

Tathagata came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It was just a coincidence."

The Jade Emperor curled his lips in disdain. He didn’t believe it at all. What kind of coincidence was this? How could it be just you?

There are so many people who are luckier than you. He knows there must be some secret here, but the Jade Emperor will definitely not tell him.

The Jade Emperor lazily leaned back in his chair, "Tathagata, just tell me, what exactly do you want from me?"

He is the person who knows Tathagata best, and he never comes to visit Tathagata unless he has something important to do.

When Tathagata saw that the Jade Emperor did not ask any more questions about the Hongmeng Purple Qi, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You should be able to guess it. Of course, it's about obtaining the scriptures." Tathagata said slowly.

The Jade Emperor was stunned, then looked at Tathagata curiously, "You haven't given up yet? Well, don't you already have a pilgrim?"

Tathagata looked at the Jade Emperor with deep eyes and said, "You should know that he is just a substitute and cannot be a pilgrim."

The Jade Emperor's expression also became solemn and he narrowed his eyes. He knew what Tathagata was trying to do. He was actually planning to target Jia Hu.

He just wanted to laugh in his heart. This person probably didn't know Jia Hu's strength. Would Lingshan dare to let a saint go to obtain the scriptures?

Tathagata no longer hid his intentions, "Your Majesty, if you agree to hand Jia Hu over to me, I will give you 20% of the merits and luck I get when the time comes. How about that?"

This was his greatest sincerity. If the Jade Emperor was not also a saint, he would never have given out so much merit and luck and would have snatched it away long ago.

The Jade Emperor's eyes flashed. Tathagata was really willing to give up. At the beginning, he had only promised him half of it. Is this the benefit of becoming a saint?

It's a pity that these merits and fortunes are no longer meant for me. How could I hand Jia Hu over to Tathagata?

"Hehe, it sounds really tempting." The Jade Emperor sighed.

A smile appeared on Tathagata's face, he believed that the Jade Emperor would not refuse.

However, "I refuse," the Jade Emperor said firmly.

"What?" Tathagata's smile froze and he looked at the Jade Emperor in disbelief.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "I said I refuse. Please go away. I don't agree to this."

Tathagata came back to his senses, his face looked a little ugly, "Why? It's just handing over Jia Hu, there is no loss to you. You are a saint now, just a quasi-saint."

The Jade Emperor shook his head and could only say that Jia Hu was hiding too deeply.

“But he is the Ziwei Emperor of my Heaven. If I hand him over, what use will I have to be the Jade Emperor?” The Jade Emperor said coldly.

Tathagata was startled. Was it because of this reason? He couldn't help but look at the Jade Emperor strangely.

Hasn't this guy always been profit-driven? Why has he become so face-conscious now? Is it because he has become a saint?
He was silent for a moment. "What do you want in exchange for handing over Jia Hu? Tell me. Lingshan can do it."

The Jade Emperor shook his head and said, "Tathagata, you haven't heard me clearly. I said, no matter what the conditions are, it is impossible."

Tathagata looked at the Jade Emperor and said slowly, "Your Majesty, are you going to completely offend my Lingshan?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's face changed, and a sudden burst of momentum burst out, pressing towards Tathagata.

"Tathagata, you dare to threaten me? Humph, so what if I offend your Lingshan? I am the master of heaven, would I be afraid of you Lingshan?" The Jade Emperor's voice was cold and he looked at Tathagata with cold eyes.

He actually dared to threaten me. Did he really think that I, the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, was just a decoration?
Tathagata quickly resisted with his aura, but his heart sank. He actually felt that the Jade Emperor's strength was a little higher than his. Tathagata suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you will not regret it." After saying that, his figure disappeared.

The Jade Emperor had an ugly look on his face. He could actually stop Tathagata from leaving. After all, the Heavenly Palace had been completely refined by him.

But there is no need and there is no point in staying since Tathagata cannot be killed anyway.

His eyes darkened and he disappeared in the Lingxiao Palace.

In Ziwei Palace, Jia Hu opened his eyes and looked at the Jade Emperor who suddenly appeared in front of him. There was no surprise in his eyes.

"Was it Tathagata who just came?" Jia Hu asked the Jade Emperor to sit down. He stretched out his hand and a table appeared in front of him, which was filled with magical fruits and magical wine.

The Jade Emperor took the wine jug and took a sip, then nodded and said dissatisfiedly: "If it's not Tathagata, then who else could it be? That guy is coming for you and wants you to continue to obtain the scriptures."

Jia Hu's face turned cold. "Oh, it seems that he has become a saint and thinks he can take me down."

The Jade Emperor smiled and shook his head. "Jia Hu, you are already so powerful, why are you still hiding it? If you reveal your strength, Tathagata will definitely not dare to trouble you."

Jia Hu narrowed his eyes, took a sip of wine, and then said calmly, "I'm not worried about others, I'm worried about Hongjun."

The Jade Emperor fell silent upon hearing this, with a complicated look in his eyes. Ever since he broke through, he could no longer sense the Zixiao Palace.

He understood that Hongjun was dissatisfied with him, but so what? Preventing someone from achieving enlightenment is like killing his parents, and even Hongjun could not do that.

So he didn't care about it, but he was still very afraid of Hongjun in his heart.

The Jade Emperor thought of a possibility and looked at Jia Hu in horror, "Do you still want to deal with Daozu?"

Jia Hu glanced at the Jade Emperor and nodded slightly, "Why, is it not possible?"

He paused for a moment, stretched out his hand and used the power of heaven to set up a barrier, "Since you are now a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, then I will tell you one thing."

The Jade Emperor immediately became nervous. He knew that it must be no small matter that could make Jia Hu so cautious.

"I discovered that the Taoist was devouring the Heavenly Dao." Jia Hu said slowly.

"Oh, really?" The Jade Emperor's hand trembled, the wine jug fell to the ground, and his face was full of horror.

Devouring the Heavenly Dao, how terrifying would that be, and how powerful would Hongjun be?
Jia Hu said quietly, "If the Heavenly Dao is really swallowed by Hongjun, then this world is completely controlled by him, and it will be impossible to transcend. So we will fight him sooner or later."

He looked at the Jade Emperor and said seriously, "Unless you don't want to be free and are willing to be his slave."

The Jade Emperor's face flushed red, "Impossible, who doesn't want to transcend?"

The Jade Emperor is also a man with great ambitions. It would be better to kill him than to make him a slave.

Jia Hu smiled. He knew that no one wanted to be controlled by others. "So you know why I don't reveal my strength. If Hongjun spots me, I will be in trouble."

The Jade Emperor's face suddenly changed. "Then does that mean he is targeting me?" As he said that, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. He felt like someone was looking at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Jia Hu nodded. "Of course, but he didn't make a move now. He probably thinks you're still his. You don't have to be nervous."

The Jade Emperor smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I can no longer sense the location of the Purple Sky Palace."

Jia Hu's eyes flashed. "That's nothing. Isn't Di Jun also a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian? If we want to deal with him, we have to deal with him first."
