The Wolf Is Here
Zhao Qianhe's eyes flashed with sharp light. She took a step forward and disappeared through the spatial distortion.
The other students on the flying vessel looked at Qiu Enhuai. When he saw their gazes, he sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and gathered them all up. Then, he took the vessel and disappeared behind Zhao Qianhe.
"Boom!"
Intense shockwaves stirred up a sandstorm, and Ye Zichen slammed into a sand dune a hundred meters away. Every bone in his body was shattered.
Not bad at all.
The Subterranean Beast King's enormous body gave it explosive strength. Given Ye Zichen's strength as an earth supreme, it was already a miracle that he'd survived a single blow.
Their huge bodies would also cause their movements to slow down.
It'd been a long time since he'd received a blow, but that was the first time he'd received one.
Of course, it'd almost cost him his life.
"Bro, I'm afraid we're both going to die here."
Ye Zichen held a ring in his hand. This was the only thing Chen Guangfa had left behind. Even though this was a desert, the Subterranean Beast King's stomp had destroyed everything he'd left behind.
It was also difficult to summon yao from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. During this time, Ye Zichen had summoned them to fight the Subterranean Beast. Practically all of the yao above the sixth-stage had been gravely injured and had to recuperate inside.
It felt like he'd really gone too far.
"As expected, this Subterranean Beast King isn't something a nobody like me can face. Why did I get so hot-headed and decide to play the hero?"
Ye Zichen laughed self-deprecatingly, then looked behind the Subterranean Beast King and shouted, "I'm here!
"I'm here, save me!"
His shout made the Subterranean Beast turn around. Ye Zichen took advantage of this moment to dig madly into the sand.
What?
Of course he was going to hide.
He couldn't move his legs, so there was no way he could run. All he could do now was hide.
Behind him was a barren wasteland. There was no sign of anyone. The Subterranean Beast King realized it'd been tricked. A terrifying light flashed through its bewitching purple eyes.
"You dare to play with this king?"
"Hehe." Ye Zichen smiled. "Ai, Your Majesty, how could I dare to mess with you? I was just joking with you. Why don't you take me in as your little brother? I haven't lived long enough. "
"Hand over the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, and I can spare your life."
"Alright, I'll give it to you." Ye Zichen endured the pain and nodded. Then, joy flashed across his eyes once again. "I'm here. Dean, hurry up and save me!"
The Subterranean Beast hesitated for a moment, but it still looked behind it.
Ye Zichen took advantage of this to dig madly into the sand. Before long, however, he felt a towering rage behind him.
"Brat, you're courting death."
After being tricked twice by Ye Zichen, the beast king felt like its intelligence had been insulted.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I'll give you the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Please spare my life," pleaded Ye Zichen.
"No need. Even if you die, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda will still be mine."
The Subterranean Beast snorted and walked forward. At that moment, Ye Zichen's eyes lit up.
This gaze was a ray of hope.
"You still want to lie to This King?"
The Subterranean Beast snorted inwardly. As expected, before long, Ye Zichen raised his hands and shouted.
"I'm here."
"Kid, using the same trick three times, do you think This King is an idiot?"
"There really is someone this time. If you don't believe me, look behind you. There really is someone. Believe me."
Ye Zichen's gaze was sincere, but the Subterranean Beast no longer believed him.
Being fooled twice was already the limit of what he could endure. If he was fooled a third time, did they really think he was an idiot?
The Subterranean Beast ignored everything else and walked towards Ye Zichen. At that moment, a gust of wind slammed into the back of his head and slammed him into the sand.
Ye Zichen sighed helplessly. "I told you there was someone, but you didn't believe me. Great, now you've been beaten."
After suffering this blow, the Subterranean Beast King was furious.
A mournful howl rose up from the desert, so loud that Ye Zichen's eardrums hurt. However, the tiny ant-like Zhao Qianhe standing in front of him had a look of disdain in her eyes.
"Little worm, how dare you act fiercely in front of me. Kneel!"
Thud.
Even at Ye Zichen's cultivation, he couldn't see what Zhao Qianhe had done, but the Subterranean Beast King knelt to the ground.
"You're a ruler."
By now, the Subterranean Beast was truly afraid. Zhao Qianhe glanced at him coolly.
"Since you know, then kneel obediently. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you."
With that, Zhao Qianhe walked up to Ye Zichen.
"It's you greedy brat."
When she saw that it was Ye Zichen, she arched her brows.
"Senior, you really are a goddess. You've saved me from danger time and time again. Once I get back, I'll definitely erect a memorial tablet for you. I'll burn incense and chant sutras for you every day. I'll bless you with a flood of good fortune."
"There's no need to play games with me. I've long since passed the age of listening to such things."
Zhao Qianhe glanced at Ye Zichen, then noticed the ring he clenched tightly.
As expected!
She'd thought he'd improve a little, but it seemed he still couldn't change his greedy nature. Given his current state, staying behind to buy time for Xue Mo and the others to escape might seem heroic, but he'd almost lost his life in the process. He was greedy and didn't know when to back down.
She knew she couldn't read people incorrectly. Ever since their first meeting at the foot of the Divine Mountains, she'd seen through Ye Zichen's character.
"Brat, you're trying to get close to the Sea of Innocence, aren't you?" Zhao Qianhe's gaze darkened.
"Senior, what are you talking about?" Ye Zichen was dumbfounded.
"Hmph, no need to pretend. But let me warn you: if you have any bad intentions, you'd best give up as soon as possible. My temper isn't particularly good. So long as you reveal even the slightest hint of a fox's tail, your little life won't be yours anymore. Do you understand? "
She gently tapped Ye Zichen on the chest. Zhao Qianhe sensed that Xue Mo and the others had arrived, so she dropped the subject.
"Remember, don't reveal your fox's tail."
She narrowed her eyes and walked away.
Qiu Enhuai led Xue Mo and the others over. Practically the first thing they saw was Ye Zichen. When they saw his wretched state, Murong Xue and the other girls burst into tears. Even Jiang Yong, Li Hu, and the others couldn't help but gasp.
"Brother Ye, I, Jiang Yong, owe you two lives." Jiang Yong cupped his fists.
"What do you mean you owe me? We're brothers, right?"
