The Yao-Sealing Pagoda
The transfer of resources concluded. Gao Yunting, who'd received twenty percent of the resources, was incredibly grateful to Chi Mei.
The Gao Family had handed over a considerable amount of resources. Even twenty percent was more than the entire Sky Great District's resources could match.
This 20% of resources was almost equivalent to the lifetime wealth of ten Celestial Kings.
As he watched the Gao clansmen leave, Ye Zichen looked at Chi Mei, his thoughts racing. Giving them twenty percent had been ingenious. Gao Yunting's suspicions of them had shifted directly to the twenty percent.
"Here, we agreed that we'd each get half."
She tossed a ring at Ye Zichen. Ye Zichen caught it and scanned its contents with his immortal awareness. When he saw the number of spiritual medicines, weapons, and talismans, even Ye Zichen couldn't help but gasp.
No wonder Gao Yunting had thanked him profusely. Twenty percent of his resources was enough to establish a first-rate family clan in the Sky Great District.
However, Ye Zichen wasn't Gao Yunting. He wasn't so easily bribed.
He put the ring away, then looked at Chi Mei.
"Shouldn't we talk about what happened before?"
Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong froze, then looked at Chi Mei with a hint of reverence.
Chi Mei shot them a meaningful glance, then put on an adorable expression. She pouted her lips and blinked repeatedly, then leaned over to Ye Zichen and grabbed his hand.
"Sweetie, what're you doing? I didn't do it on purpose!"
"You didn't do it on purpose?"
Ye Zichen smiled calmly at her. He wasn't a narrow-minded person. Although he'd been in grave danger, in the end, he hadn't suffered any serious injuries.
Rather than using this as an excuse to argue with Chi Mei endlessly, he wanted to know why she'd done it.
Besides, he could sense that she hadn't actually wanted to kill him.
"You tricked me into coming here, then sent Jiao Qi, Meng Huairong, and the others away from me. Chi Mei, to tell the truth, I can't see through you. "
"Sweetie, are you trying to say that I'm a schemer? I'm very pure, okay? "
As she spoke, she rested her chin on her hands, blinked her big, watery eyes, and shook her head back and forth.
Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong both looked at Chi Mei with indescribable expressions. In truth, they'd been wondering just what this lord was planning.
Anyone with a sound mind would be able to tell that Chi Mei was doing this on purpose.
With Jiao Qi and the others treating his injuries, the lack of Celestial Spiritual Energy from using the Heaven Plundering technique had mostly recovered.
Since she didn't want to tell the truth, there was no need for him to pursue the matter.
"Then let's part ways here. It's better if we don't meet again after this."
Ye Zichen led Jiao Qi and the others away, but before he'd taken more than a few steps, Chi Mei ran up to him, spread her arms wide, and blocked his path.
"If you don't forgive me, I won't let you go."
When he saw this, Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh. He tilted his head and looked at Chi Mei's remorseful expression, his eyes filled with faint helplessness.
"Then what do you want me to do? I already told you, you …. I can't see through you. My situation in the God Realm is like treading on thin ice. There's no way I'm going to befriend someone I can't see through. You're very mysterious, and you know all sorts of secrets that ordinary people can't. Also, the few times you've appeared by my side, I can sense that you're testing me. I don't like that. "
"Alright, then I'll just tell you the truth."
Chi Mei seemed genuinely worried that Ye Zichen would get angry. She frowned and pursed her lips.
"Actually, I was just testing you!"
Ye Zichen wasn't surprised by her answer. Just now, he'd already said he sensed that Chi Mei was testing him.
He didn't respond at all. He simply looked at her calmly, ready to hear what she had to say next.
"You have the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, right?"
Even though he had guessed that Chi Mei would know about the existence of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, hearing it from her own mouth was still shocking.
After a brief internal struggle, Ye Zichen nodded. At that moment, Chi Mei spoke up.
"I'm sure you know how important the Yao-Sealing Pagoda is. You might not know much about it, but I can tell you right now that this Yao-Sealing Pagoda is a treasure that even the God Emperor, Emperor Hades, and the Demon Emperor value."
Ye Zichen instinctively rubbed the ring on his finger. The Yao-Sealing Pagoda was actually connected to the God Emperor? Just that alone was enough for the Demon Emperor, Emperor Hades, and Emperor Hades to value it. This made his heart sink.
"What's so special about the Yao-Sealing Pagoda?"
"Once you open the fourth floor of the pagoda, you'll naturally find out. What you've seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg. When you open all of them, you'll naturally understand why these three Venerable Sovereigns value this Suppressing Demon Tower so much. "
Chi Mei didn't directly answer Ye Zichen's question, but her expression was solemn.
"I need to know what you're planning after you get rid of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. I need to know if you have the ability to protect it. If you don't, even if I can't use the pagoda, I have to take it back. I absolutely can't let it fall into the hands of the other three emperors. I've tested you so many times because I want to work with you. "
"Work together?" Ye Zichen knit his brows.
"The Yao-Sealing Pagoda requires the Dao of the Five Elements to open. You cultivate the Dao of the Five Elements, so the Yao-Sealing Pagoda can only be used in your hands. Furthermore, based on my understanding of you, I can tell that your attainments in the Dao of the Five Elements aren't low. That last sword strike in particular moved me. "
As she spoke, Chi Mei's eyes flashed with a faint smile. She didn't try to act cute; her smile was filled with satisfaction and genuine joy. At the same time, she reached out and smiled sweetly.
"Since the Five Elements Great Emperor chose you, we're in the same boat. Since you've taken the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, you're bound to oppose the God Emperor. In that case …. We welcome you to join us. "
Her fair hand hovered in front of Ye Zichen, but as he stared at it, he didn't respond.
"You …. Who exactly are you?"
"Us? Haven't you already guessed? We're the Five Elements Great Emperor's …. descendants! "
Ye Zichen didn't answer directly whether or not to join them. Instead, he asked them to give him some time to think it over.
When he left this space, the space next to Chi Mei, who was left behind, distorted, and a man appeared.
