Gu Lei wasn't too worried about Empress Le's kind advice. He gently smiled and said, "I naturally don't have to worry about that. As long as I reach the Myriad Phenomenon Mountain Range, there won't be many people that can touch me."
Upon hearing Gu Lei's words, Le Huang and the others exchanged glances and shrugged their shoulders. In truth, they had also vaguely guessed that Gu Lei must have received someone in the Wanxiang Mountain Range. However, they did not expose him.
"I think we should think about how to tell that old fart, Gui Yi, that his son died in there."
Empress Le seemed to have thought of something at this moment. She immediately frowned and spoke helplessly.
Feng Hao and Nangong Wuji exchanged a glance. They also had the same expression. Clearly, there was nothing they could do. If Gui Lin didn't die in there, then as long as they could bring him out alive, what happened next would have nothing to do with them.
But the damnable Profound Sovereign had been so ruthless and directly killed Gui Lin before he left. On one hand, it was to prevent Gui Lin's secrets from being exposed, and on the other hand, it was to shift the blame onto them.
"That old fart, I'll definitely make sure that he suffers the consequences the next time I see him." Empress Le became more and more furious the more she thought about it. This matter was originally simple, but it had become complicated because of the Profound Emperor's shifting of the blame.
It had to be known that both Gui Yi and Le Huang had extraordinary statuses. It could even be said that they represented the two overlord factions of the Penglai World. If Gui Yi insisted that Le Huang and the others had harmed Gui Lin, then he really had no evidence to say anything.
Of the eight people who had witnessed everything, only three were still alive. Empress Le didn't expect the three of them to help her, especially when the Soul Treasure had been taken by Empress Le and the others. She would already be lucky if the three of them didn't add fuel to the fire and slander her.
"It's useless to say that. Right now, I have to think of a good attitude and face that old fart. If only I could pretend that nothing happened." Feng Hao sighed, he was very clear about that old fart's personality.
This time, let alone Le Huang, even Fenghao would be implicated. It wouldn't matter if he was alone, but Fenghao had the backing of a human!
"What's there to be afraid of? We didn't kill that idiot. If he has the ability, ask him to show us the evidence. At worst, we'll just shed all pretense of cordiality. Who's afraid of who?" At this moment, the insensitive Nangong Wuji did not notice the subtle connection between this matter and casually said.
Hearing Nangong Wuji's words, Empress Le and Feng Hao exchanged glances and smiled bitterly. Now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to reveal the truth. As for whether they believed it or not, it wasn't up to them.
If that old fart, Gui Yi, attacked them on the spot, they would not be afraid at all.
"Let's do it this way. I'll tell him when the time comes." Empress Le rubbed her brows. She was clearly very vexed. If this matter wasn't handled properly, it would really cause a conflict between the two overlord factions.
While they were chatting, they had unknowingly arrived at the exit. They looked at each other, took a deep breath, and directly stepped into the exit.
A brief moment later, space changed. By the time Feng Hao returned to his senses, he was once again in the Thousand Elephant Mountain Range. After their appearance, the Thousand Elephant Mountain Range, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly became lively once again.
There were many figures quietly seated in the surroundings. Not even the slightest aura was emitted from them. However, no one dared to underestimate them. Following the appearance of Fenghao and the rest, they suddenly opened their eyes. The majestic aura within their bodies was akin to the awakening of a huge dragon!
Gu Lei was the first to react. After he appeared, a figure immediately shot out and arrived beside Gu Lei. When he saw Gu Lei's appearance, he was initially stunned, but soon after, he became rather furious.
"Who beat you up like this?"
Empress Le shot a glance at the black figure. It was a middle-aged man, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Gu Lei's. She immediately knew who it was.
"Uncle Gu, my father has been thinking about you for many years. If you're free, Ling Xiao Peak will warmly welcome you." Empress Le's indifferent voice resounded.
The figure was slightly taken aback. He looked at Empress Le and said in a puzzled tone, "You're from Ling Xiao Peak, a descendant of that fellow."
"His surname is Le, and he's Uncle Le's second son. I wholeheartedly accept my defeat." Gu Lei bitterly smiled. Since his skills were inferior, he had lost. This was something that he was pretty good about.
"Oh, so you're that fellow's son. No wonder you're so extraordinary." After hearing his son's explanation, the figure clearly understood that Gu Lei was the son of an old friend.
"Father, let's go." Gu Lei took a look behind him. The space around him was also faintly rippling. It was obvious that someone else was about to appear. Immediately, he spoke in a somewhat guilty manner.
After all, a single person had fooled over a hundred experts. If he didn't leave now, it would truly be troublesome.
"Alright." Gu Lei's father nodded, then said to Empress Le, "Tell your father that I will naturally look for him again when I have the time."
As his voice faded, he and Gu Lei swiftly disappeared from the Thousand Elephant Mountain Range. He clearly knew that Gu Lei must have done something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left in such a hurry.
"That fellow says that he's not afraid, but he's actually very afraid in his heart." Empress Le chuckled as she watched the two leave.
"Let's not talk about him. Even if it's you and I, if those people join hands, we won't be able to do anything." Fenghao chuckled. That was indeed true. Who could stop a hundred Divine Masters?
Unfortunately, these people ultimately lost their lives because of the greed in their hearts.
"Oh, you guys are actually in the Dragon Domain …"
But at this moment, a loud and clear voice suddenly rang out from behind them. When they heard that voice, Feng Hao and Empress Le's faces instantly froze, and a bitter smile hung from the corners of their lips.
What they were afraid of had to come. What would come would eventually come, and they couldn't avoid it no matter how hard they tried.
That's right, the owner of that voice was Gui Yi!
