A Mortal Enemy
When Ye Zichen's soul transformed into a beam of starlight and disappeared, the entire world seemed to fall silent.
Everyone watched this scene in silence, until ….
"Ye Zichen."
Zuo Mo's face was pale as she sobbed hoarsely. Li Jiayi bit her lip and stared blankly at where Ye Zichen had disappeared.
Little White, Yin Shang, and the others clenched their fists and blinked repeatedly in an attempt to hold back their tears. However, they couldn't stop the tears from rolling down their cheeks.
The people of Dragon City lowered their heads, placed their hands on their chests, and closed their eyes in silent mourning.
The entire world seemed to be soaked in sorrow. For the next few hours, no one said a single word.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Countless figures shot through the sky. These were the experts of the Three Realms who'd returned to their respective realms and learned of Denglong's death.
By the time they arrived, it was all over.
All they could see was Ye Zichen and Denglong's bodies. They'd landed on the ground, but they couldn't sense even the slightest trace of their souls.
Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes …. They knew exactly what had happened.
Day and night alternated.
Whether it was the people of Dragon City or the experts of the Three Realms, they all stood silently off in the distance.
At that moment, Su Liu 'er stepped through the air and landed on Ye Zichen's body. With a wave of her hand, a crystal coffin appeared before everyone's eyes.
Su Liu 'er's spiritual power lifted Ye Zichen's body into the crystal coffin.
At the same time, the immortals of Dragon City and the Three Realms arrived before the coffin. Without any communication whatsoever, they bowed deeply to Ye Zichen's body.
"Ye Zichen, you deserve to die!"
It was in this heavy atmosphere that an angry rebuke suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked to see a silver-haired woman stand before the crystal coffin. She gnashed her teeth and glared at Ye Zichen, who lay peacefully in the coffin.
"Who do you think you are? Haha …. Do you know who gave you your life? Heroism? Who do you think you are? You're dead, but everyone in the world remembers you. How laughable! "
The woman slandered Ye Zichen one after another. Her words were especially ear-piercing to the others.
Ye Zichen had died for their sake. Not only were they ungrateful, but now they were even slandering him. Some people in the crowd started to stand up in anger, wanting to reason with him. However, before they could take a few steps, they were stopped by the people around them.
"Why are you stopping me? Emperor Ye sacrificed himself for us, but that woman doesn't know what's good for her and even slandered him. Regardless of whether she's grateful or not, doesn't she know that the dead are the most important? "
"Look who that person is."
"I don't care who she is. Even if she has a powerful background, I will still teach her a lesson!"
Disregarding the crowd's attempts to dissuade him, the resentful man took a few steps forward.
"You …"
Before he could say anything, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. That lady also looked at the person who had arrived. When that person saw the lady's scarlet eyes and silver hair, his lips moved for a long time, but he did not say anything for a long time. After a short silence, he bowed deeply to the lady and said.
"My apologies, my condolences."
With that, he left in embarrassment. It wasn't that he was cowering after learning of the woman's identity. If she were an insignificant person, even if she were the Emperor of Heaven himself, he might have cursed at her a little.
But she was Su Yan.
It wasn't just the people of the Beast Region who knew of Su Yan and Ye Zichen's relationship. The entire Three Realms knew that Su Yan was Ye Zichen's woman, and that she'd gone through nine cycles of reincarnation in search of Emperor Ye's reincarnation.
They couldn't tolerate anyone else slandering Ye Zichen, but Su Yan ….
They had no choice, nor did they have the right to interfere.
"Big Sister Su Yan, my condolences."
Little White pursed his lips and walked over to comfort her. He'd been with Ye Zichen since the Modern Realm, so he knew very well how close they were.
"My condolences?" As she listened to everyone's comforting words, Su Yan looked at Ye Zichen with disappointment. "You're all overthinking things. What do I have to condolences about? Someone as irresponsible as her is dead, so be it. What's there to feel sorry for? "
"That's enough, little sister."
It was as if Su Liu 'er couldn't bear to listen any longer. She snapped at Su Yan, then frowned.
"The dead should be respected. No matter what, he died for the sake of all living beings. You still have us, so don't be too sad. I've already sealed Ye Zichen's body in ice. Let's take him back and bury him. "
"No!"
Su Yan practically squeezed those words out through gritted teeth. Then, with a wave of her hand, she actually shattered the crystal coffin.
This was utterly disrespectful. Everyone was shocked by Su Yan's actions, but at the same time, their hearts were filled with undisguisable rage.
This was especially true for Zuo Mo. When Su Yan slandered Ye Zichen, she'd already been furious. Now that she'd shattered the coffin, all her pent-up anger erupted.
"Su Yan, don't go too far!"
Zuo Mo strode forward, her eyes blazing with fury as she rebuked Su Yan.
In response, Su Yan merely glanced at her indifferently, then ignored her rebuke and laughed.
"Hmph, someone like him doesn't deserve to enter the Nine-tailed Fox Clan's ancestral hall. Perfect, haven't you always admired him? Then take his corpse back. No matter what, he died for the greater good. We can't just leave him outside to be eaten by wild dogs. "
"Su Yan!"
She suddenly took a step forward. From her posture, it was clear she was about to attack. The surrounding people hurriedly pulled her back, afraid they'd really start fighting.
"Let me go! I'm not that irrational!"
Zuo Mo shook off their hands, pointed at Su Yan, and shouted angrily, "I naturally have to take him away.
But to tell the truth, I really feel sorry for Ye Zichen. To think he'd fall in love with a woman as heartless as you. I, Zuo Mo, hereby swear on my status as the head of the Treasure Tower that from this moment on, the Treasure Tower will cease all cooperation with the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, including your subordinate clans. From now on, the Nine-tailed Fox Clan is the Treasure Tower's mortal enemy. Be careful …. Don't let any of your clansmen appear within the Treasure Tower's sphere of influence. "
With that, Zuo Mo walked up to Ye Zichen, put him on her back, and left Dragon City, one step at a time. The other humans glared viciously at Su Yan, then followed Zuo Mo away. Although they didn't say anything, it was clear from their expressions that they truly hated Su Yan and the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
Only Su Liu 'er sighed, her gaze filled with pity as she looked at Su Yan's silver hair.
The others might think Su Yan had gone overboard and was heartless, but Su Liu 'er, who'd experienced everything, couldn't possibly believe Su Yan was that sort of person.
"Little Sister, let's go home."
Inexplicably, Su Yan, who'd put on a tough front in front of everyone, suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears. Su Liu 'er and Su Zhu's hearts ached when they saw her trembling shoulders.
Was she really fickle in love?
If she was, she wouldn't have reincarnated for the Yellow Emperor.
If she was really fickle in love, then her hair wouldn't have turned white overnight.
If she was really heartless, then she wouldn't have said such harsh words at that time.
At the end of the day, she loved him too much. She couldn't accept Ye Zichen's death.
"Who does he think he is?" Muttered Su Yan, still squatting on the ground, between sobs. "Doesn't he know that my brother gave him his life? Doesn't he know that Keke risked her life to save his? Everyone wants him alive, but what about him …. Does he think his life is so cheap, so cheap that he can just give it up on a whim? "
"Little Sister, don't cry. In truth, Ye Zichen had no choice …."
"No choice? That's just irresponsible," said Su Yan, her eyes bloodshot. Su Yan's eyes were red as she sobbed, "My brother died, Ke Ke also died … Now that he's dead as well, what should I do? He had no choice, haha …. "
Su Yan laughed dejectedly as she rose to her feet. Her eyes flashed with cold light.
