Why was he crying?
The rain parted as it fell on Ye Zichen's head.
Gu Li's lips trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the indifferent Ye Zichen.
"Big Brother Ye, your little brother knows his wrongs."
"Since we're family, let me off this once. I'll definitely turn over a new leaf."
"I know my wrongs. I really know my wrongs. Please spare me this once."
If not for the Body Freezing Art, Gu Li would've knelt before Ye Zichen.
He was truly afraid.
"Die."
Ye Zichen didn't want to waste any more words with him, nor did he want to listen to his hypocritical apologies. A ray of sword light appeared between his fingers and sliced towards Gu Li's neck.
Boom!
Above the void, a huge hand that blotted out the sky suddenly slammed down from the sky.
This hand obviously wasn't trying to kill anyone. Its goal was clear: it was coming for Gu Li.
Ye Zichen stopped in place and let go of the Xuan-Yuan Sword. He'd long since predicted that someone from the Upper Three Realms would save Gu Li.
As for the reason ….
He had the Chiyou Sword on him.
"If you want to save him, leave your hand behind."
His eyes flashed, and hundreds of beams of sword light shot out of the Xuan-Yuan Sword.
"Hmph."
A muffled snort echoed through the sky. The giant hand clenched its fist and crushed the beams of sword light. Then, it instantly changed its target and slammed towards Ye Zichen.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Ye Zichen somersaulted backwards, then raised his right hand. The Xuan-Yuan Sword, which had escaped his grasp, returned to him as if summoned.
He gripped the hilt and brushed his fingers across the blade.
"Attract Lightning."
Rumble.
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and merged into the sword. The Xuan-Yuan Sword flickered with lightning.
"Thunderfall Slash!"
The sword-light, which was accompanied by lightning, landed on the sky-covering hand. However, the sword-light did not cause any damage to the hand.
"Hah ….."
The hand's owner seemed to be mocking Ye Zichen's ignorance. However, the next instant, the hand's movements slowed.
This move wasn't meant to attack, but to paralyze him.
At the same time, Ye Zichen raised the Xuan-Yuan Sword above his head.
"Heaven Plundering Strike!"
All of a sudden.
A dazzling golden sword light shot out from the blade, and the already paralyzed giant hand tried to dodge it …
Sizzle.
Dark red blood spurted out from his hand, and then he saw that the little finger of the big hand had already been chopped off by the sword light.
"Brat, I will remember you."
A sinister, furious roar reverberated through the sky. Then, they saw a hand grab at Gu Li, then vanish from this world.
"What a pity."
Despite letting Gu Li escape, Ye Zichen didn't seem too angry.
With the help of an expert, there was nothing to be angry about if he ran away. It would be impossible to kill Gu Li in front of such an expert.
He glanced at the finger below. At the very least, he made that expert leave a finger behind, right?
…
"Alright, tell him to focus on recuperating when he gets back. His soul has dissipated before. If there's time, the Deer Emperor and the Sparrow Emperor can help him search for it. Who knows, they might be able to find the lost soul. "
He removed his hand from the Bear Emperor's chest. With Ye Zichen's help, the hole he'd pierced through his chest had already healed. However, the Bear Emperor's soul had dissipated somewhat, so he'd fallen unconscious after returning to his body.
"Thank you for your help, Emperor Ye."
The Deer Emperor bowed gratefully. The three of them had a close relationship. If the Bear Emperor died, they couldn't imagine what that would be like.
Ye Zichen reached out and helped him to his feet, then shook his head.
"I should be the one thanking you. If not for your help, it might have been too late even if I returned."
The Deer Emperor smiled and nodded, then helped the Bear Emperor to his feet.
"Since Emperor Ye has returned, the Bear Emperor needs to rest, so we won't disturb you any longer. We'll take our leave first."
"Take care."
Ye Zichen watched the three emperors leave, then turned to the battlefield outside Dragon City.
Clansmen of the various clans were carrying their fallen back home. They'd died for the Three Realms. No matter what, they couldn't be allowed to remain here.
They had to return their fallen clansmen to their clans. That was the only place they could rest.
"Emperor Ye."
At that moment, he heard a woman's voice from behind him. Ye Zichen turned around and saw Li Jiayi and a group of human experts standing in front of him.
"Jiayi."
Li Jiayi nodded at her, then said meticulously, "We've already gathered everyone.
Everyone here is a sky immortal or higher expert. Dealing with the remnants of the demon army shouldn't be a problem at all. "
"Alright, thank you for your hard work."
He still looked indifferent. Li Jiayi wanted to say something to him when she saw his expression.
However, she forcefully swallowed the words she was about to say. Without another word, she led her experts away from the Beast Region.
After they left, the three Su sisters appeared before Ye Zichen.
"Big Sister Liu 'er, Big Sister Zhu."
Ye Zichen nodded at Su Liu 'er and Su Zhu, but when his gaze fell on Su Yan, he fell silent.
He could see Su Yan's loneliness and grief on her face. Images of his hand piercing Su Yiyun's chest flashed through his mind.
After a while, he let out a long sigh.
"Lil 'Yan."
"Mm."
Su Yan forced a smile at Ye Zichen, but her actions only made Ye Zichen feel even more uncomfortable. Compared to this, he preferred Su Yan crying.
In truth, Su Yan wanted to cry as well, but she couldn't.
"Everything has finally come to an end, hasn't it?" Su Liu 'er broke the silence. She reached out and tousled Su Yan's hair, then smiled at Su Zhu. "Little Sister's tired. Lil' Zhu, take her back to rest."
"Alright." Su Zhu smiled and nodded, then grabbed Su Yan's hand. "Little Sister, let's go. We're going home."
Home.
When she heard that word, Su Yan's nose twitched inexplicably. Tears welled up in her eyes. She forcefully held back her tears, lowered her head, and left with Su Zhu.
"She's been like this ever since I woke up," said Su Liu 'er as she watched them leave.
"That's right." Ye Zichen nodded. Sensing that his expression wasn't too good, Su Liu 'er frowned. "What's going on with Little Sister? I asked Lil' Zhu, but she wouldn't tell me. All I saw was her holding that demon ….."
"Ol 'Three isn't a demon."
Ye Zichen cut her off coldly. His lips twitched, and he said, "You're right.
"Big Sister Liu 'er, I have other things to take care of, so I can't chat with you any longer."
"Hey, you brat ….."
Su Liu 'er furrowed her brows and shouted angrily, but at that moment, she saw a single tear fall from the corner of Ye Zichen's eye.
