Chapter 2578: Shocking Gossip

“Be careful!” the Goddess of Wu Mountain exclaimed.

Zu An was still feeling downtrodden, but the Sun Goddess had already begun her onslaught. Unfortunately, the Goddess of Wu Mountain was too severely injured to help him even if she wanted to.

Her voice was nowhere as fast as the Sun Goddess, who was already before Zu An. As if vanquished, everything else vanished in the presence of her light.

Emperor Jun nodded in approval. He'd been dissatisfied when he saw how Xihe was having a pleasant chat with Zu An instead of killing the latter. Just as he was about to rush her, she'd finally made a move and gone all out. That put his mind at ease.

“Be careful! Despite that fellow’s low cultivation, he possesses many bizarre skills. He isn’t that easy of an enemy to deal with!” Emperor Jun warned when he sensed how Zu An was still alive despite Xihe’s attack.

Xihe coldly looked toward the ground. Zu An was standing there, gasping for air.

“You’re really after my life!” Zu An sweated profusely when he thought about the earlier situation. If not for his position swap ability, that attack would have taken his life. He had felt that aura before. It was similar to the attack that the mysterious Time Scribe had died to.

Looks like Xihe really wants me dead.

Xihe scoffed, “Did you think I would swear loyalty to you just because I went to bed with you?”

She darted toward Zu An while unleashing rays of golden light. Her light vanquished everything in its path, even severing mountains apart. Zu An didn’t dare to let his guard down. He mustered his attention to deal with her onslaught.

Meanwhile, the Goddess of Wu Mountain widened her eyes in shock. Even though the two of them had previously behaved like a couple, considering Xihe’s true identity, she hadn't thought they would be involved in a physical relationship. Learning that the two of them had reached that level of intimacy was a shock.

Even the warring Donghuang Taiyi and Gonggong paused out of sheer astonishment.

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Zu An and Xihe in utmost shock. Xihe, as one of the loftiest goddesses of the Celestial Court, had plenty of suitors, and Donghuang Taiyi had been one of them too. But fate had other plans, and she'd eventually become his sister-in-law.

Nevertheless, he'd still harbored special feelings for his beautiful sister-in-law, which was why he doted on her ten sons a lot. Others had even jokingly remarked that the Golden Crows were his sons. He would sternly warn them not to run their mouths, but he still felt warm inside.

That was partly why he'd been so angry when he learned that Zu An had killed the Golden Crows.

However, because of his brotherly ties with Emperor Jun, he had never overstepped the line. He also respected Xihe for her upright character as well, so he'd never harbored inappropriate thoughts toward her. He'd thought that it was sufficient bliss to admire her and wish her happiness.

And yet, the goddess of his heart had rolled in the sheets with another man? And that man was a human, at that!

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

No, she must be saying that to deceive me!

He tried convincing himself of that, but deep down, he knew the truth. Many images flashed through his mind—the lofty goddess whom he didn’t dare to touch had been thoroughly sullied by a far lesser man of lowly bloodline! This made his anger flare. He was on the verge of exploding.

You have successfully trolled Donghuang Taiyi for +999... +999... +999...

In contrast to the infuriated Donghuang Taiyi, Gonggong shot a thumbs up at Zu An and burst into laughter. “You’re a completely different breed!”

He was already in awe of Zu An for daring to kill the Golden Crows—that was a feat that even the powerhouses dared not do—but to think that there was something more explosive than that!

He had been long displeased with the lofty celestials, but he had to admit that they were getting increasingly formidable. The world was slowly becoming accustomed to the rule of the Celestial Court. And yet, the next Celestial Emperor’s wife had been bedded by a mortal! This would become a stain on Emperor Jun's and the Celestial Court’s reputation!

I've never seen such a huge drama before! It was worth making the trip here!

He had already decided to spread this news even if everyone else kept it a secret. He would even dispatch his subordinates to plaster posters and advertise this matter. Thinking about the mess it would cause made him grin widely.

The Kaiming Six Shamans, already injured from the fighting, silently retreated in the face of Emperor Jun’s terrifying outburst of energy. It was clear to see that Emperor Jun was on the verge of going on a rampage. Only someone tired of living would trifle with him now.

They couldn’t help but sneak glances at Zu An. When they first saw the latter, they hadn’t thought there was anything special about him other than his looks, his height, and his ability to charm women. They would never have expected him to pull off something this insane.

Why is even the legendary Sun Goddess interested in him?

The Kaiming Six Shamans couldn’t make sense of the situation.

Emperor Jun had been confident that everything was in his grasp when he suddenly heard this explosive news. Xihe had mentioned something along this line the last time they met, but he'd thought that she was uttering nonsense in a fit of anger and shrugged it off. He was the lofty Celestial Emperor, whereas Zu An was an insignificant mortal. Any woman with eyes would know who to side with, right?

But Xihe’s words and that brat’s reaction hinted that it was real. The thought of his wife being under another man’s body made him so angry that he could pop a vein!

Is Xihe doing this to exact vengeance on me? Why? Why?!

He roared, “You scoundrel! I’ll tear your tendons and crush your bones! I’ll burn your soul with the sun’s true flames for a hundred thousand years!”

You have successfully trolled

Emperor Jun

for +1024... +1024... +1024...

He was about to charge at Zu An when a figure blocked his path.

It was Xingtian, who still had blood tears flowing down his nipples. “Your opponent is me!”

“Scram!” Emperor Jun roared in anger, but he couldn’t shake off Xingtian no matter how he tried. Xingtian was so sturdy that he firmly stood his ground no matter how battered his body was. Instead, his bloodline’s war god prowess made him more valiant the more he fought.

Seeing this, the Kaiming Six Shamans had no choice but to muster their courage to help Xingtian.

Damn it! He’s having fun while the rest of us are suffering.

Zu An sneezed. Looking at the insane influx of Rage points in his system, he couldn’t help but wonder why Xihe had chosen to reveal this matter in public. Despite being enemies now, he had never thought of blackmailing her with it.

So why did she choose to reveal it on her own accord? She has nothing to gain out of this!

While he was perplexed, he suddenly received a telepathic message.
