Kunpeng was quite clever. Although Jieyin's words carried a hint of not taking him or the Heavenly Court seriously... after all, none of Jieyin's fellow disciples were in the Heavenly Court.
But as a member of the Heavenly Court and commander of its Northern Legion, he naturally had to consult the Demon Emperor and let him handle the matter, lest others accuse him of acting on his own authority.
As for Jieyin not taking him seriously, that was even more normal. If he had not joined the Heavenly Court, he believed that Jieyin and Zhunti would certainly have sought revenge against him.
Seeing Di Jun grant them this favor, Jieyin pressed his palms together and bowed. "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Di Jun for granting this."
With a flick of his sleeve, Ran Deng swept the giant mosquito flying toward him into it. He too bowed to Demon Emperor Di Jun. "Many thanks to the Demon Emperor for granting this."
Ran Deng likewise showed Kunpeng no respect. It was not because his cultivation was now powerful; the current Ran Deng had only just approached the first realm of corpse severance.
After entering the Great Luo realm, Ran Deng felt like a daughter-in-law who had finally become a mother-in-law after years of hardship. Yet with his cultivation, he was still not qualified to look down on Kunpeng.
After all, Kunpeng was now an expert of the second realm of corpse severance.
But unfortunately, he now followed the pair of sorrowful brothers, and Ran Deng knew perfectly well about the grudge between Kunpeng and those two brothers.
So he had to follow the sorrowful brothers' lead, or he would easily make a fool of himself.
As the Blood God soldiers above the Blood Sea vanished, the Heavenly Court's army returned to calm.
