Zhu Long had never committed evil, though he had taken the wrong path. His only crime had been attempting to ambush them, an attempt that had not even succeeded.
With such formidable combat strength, why must he be annihilated? Isn't becoming friends more appealing?
Sun Wukong very much agreed, as such a powerful deity beneficial to the Three Realms shouldn't have been sentenced to death in the first place.
Of course, if there was no room left for de-escalation between them, Sun Wukong certainly wouldn't be polite, ready to kill if necessary.
But, he knew that Zhu Long's enemy was the Haotian God.
They themselves were also opposed to the Haotian God.
An enemy's enemy is a natural ally, even possibly one to make friends with.
Sun Wukong was very aware of this, so he immediately changed his mind and took the initiative to forge ties with Zhu Long.
Zhu Long looked deeply at Sun Wukong, his words somewhat calming him down.
