The Great Sage Returns
Ye Zichen stood in front of the bald man. He looked up into the sky. That familiar roar couldn't possibly have come from anyone else.
He was the Great Sage, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!
His golden staff tore through the sky, carrying with it the might of an army.
As the rolling shadow descended, the bald man's pupils shrank. Iron rings appeared on his arms and blocked the falling rod. He flipped to the side several dozen meters away, then stared intently at the Great Sage's descending figure.
It really was the Great Sage!
Ye Zichen's eyes moistened, but he found it hard to disguise his joy.
Back when the demons invaded, the Great Sage had nearly been beaten to the brink of death. In the end, his master rescued him, and he'd gone missing ever since.
A hundred years later, he'd reappeared with the Ruyi Jingu Bang in hand. He was just as awe-inspiring as ever.
"Brother, long time no see."
The Great Sage grinned, then pointed at Wei Jie and the others.
"I'll leave these people to you. Leave that demon scum to me. I've been cultivating for a hundred years, but I feel like my bones are about to freeze. "
As the sound of his voice faded, the Great Sage Cudgel in his hand pointed forward.
"Yao, where do you think you're going?"
A demon!
When he heard the Great Sage identify the bald man, Ye Zichen was stunned despite himself.
Was the bald man a demon?
He instinctively checked the bald man's aura, but there wasn't the slightest hint of demonic aura emanating from him.
Next, he used his Fiery Eyes of Truth to determine the bald man's identity.
Still, he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Meanwhile, the Great Sage was still chasing after the bald man. Based on how he'd swung his staff, Ye Zichen could tell that he was at least a ninth-stage sky supreme. Dealing with the demon shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Ye Zichen decided not to chase after him. He left the bald man entirely to the Great Sage.
Once the Great Sage returned, he'd ask him about the bald man's identity.
He walked up to Wei Jie and the others. Wei Jie and the others were tied up in ropes similar to immortal-binding ropes.
After the ropes were untied, the villagers who were still alive expressed their gratitude. However, their expressions didn't show much happiness after surviving a disaster. Instead, they looked at the dead people in the village in a daze.
She wanted to cry, but she couldn't.
Ye Zichen looked at the villagers and sighed. Their families were definitely among the dead, and the River Styx could indeed bring them back to life. However, he couldn't help them beg Emperor Hades to revive them.
The dead were gone. Ye Zichen could only hope that they would be able to walk out of the shadows soon.
Ye Zichen retracted his gaze, then looked at Wei Jie and the others.
"Are you guys alright?"
"We're all fine. Fortunately, you came in time. Otherwise, we might have all died here."
Wei Jie grinned. Upheaval's executives at his side looked even more fearful than before.
The Divine Mountain was simply too dangerous. They were starting to regret their decision. It would have been better if they had stayed below.
"When I left the Divine Mountains, you were all sky immortals. How come you've all undergone your divine tribulations in less than half a year?" asked Ye Zichen.
"It's a long story."
Wei Jie explained to Ye Zichen how they'd managed to get here so quickly.
A few months ago, Upheaval had discovered a new secret realm. This new secret realm was filled with boundless opportunities, but it was also bound to be filled with countless dangers. In order to ensure their members' safety, Wei Jie had led the higher-ups of the gang to set an example and brave the mines. Unexpectedly, not only had they failed, but they'd also benefited tremendously. Their strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
In less than half a month, they'd become peak immortal kings and undergone their divine tribulations.
"You guys are pretty lucky." Ye Zichen nodded.
"After that, we stayed in the Divine Mountains for a while longer. We took care of the gang's internal affairs, then ascended. Coincidentally, the Divine Mountain we came from was the Northern Divine Mountain as well. " Wei Jie chuckled. "If we came to the Northern Divine Mountain, then of course we had to seek shelter with you, Boss. However, you didn't reply to me at first, so we found a village to settle down in."
The others nodded calmly, then Wei Jie furrowed his brows.
"But Boss, that yao brother just now was your friend, wasn't he? Why did he say that baldy was a demon? None of us sensed any demonic aura from him. "
"It wasn't just you; I didn't sense anything either." Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes. "But since the Great Sage says he's a demon, he naturally has his reasons. We'll just have to wait until he gets back to ask him."
Speak of the devil.
As soon as Ye Zichen said he'd wait for the Great Sage to return, the Great Sage picked up the half-dead baldy and slowly walked towards them.
The Great Sage strode like a dragon or a tiger, looking like he was returning triumphantly.
When he reached Ye Zichen, the Great Sage casually tossed the baldy to the ground.
"Brother, how should we deal with this demon? I'm new here, so I don't know much about this place. You decide. "
After a hundred years, the Great Sage seemed much more reserved.
Just now, he'd said, "I'm new here, so I don't know much about this place," and he'd left the baldy to Ye Zichen.
It was clear that although the Great Sage's spirit hadn't waned, he'd learned to restrain himself.
Even now, the Great Sage still said the baldy was a demon ….
"Great Sage, you're saying this baldy is a demon?" Ye Zichen arched his brows.
"That's right, he's a demon. You can't tell, can you? This bastard's hiding his aura really well. If not for my Fiery Eyes of Truth, I really wouldn't have been able to tell. "
The Great Sage kicked the baldy viciously, then his eyes flashed with golden light.
When the golden light shone on the baldy's body, the originally human-like baldy transformed into a demon in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a pungent purple gas was released from his body.
"He really is a demon!" Wei Jie jumped in fright.
Ye Zichen knit his brows as well. He looked at the bald man, who'd reverted to his true form, and fell silent.
Fortunately, the Great Sage was here. If it weren't for him, Ye Zichen really would've mistaken him for a bandit.
"Great Sage, look at those who have already died. Aren't they all from the Devil Race?"
When the Great Sage heard this, he looked over at the dead bandits. When the Great Sage's Eyes of Fire and Gold shone on them, the bandits all turned into demons.
"They're all demons," snorted the Great Sage.
When he saw this, Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh. He glanced at the still-living baldy and snorted.
"You demons really are getting better and better. You're even using techniques like hiding your auras and pretending to be humans."
At that moment, a flying boat flew past the village. It was Xue Mo and the others.
"Brother Ye, your side …."
As soon as the boat arrived, they heard Jiang Yong's loud voice. However, before he could finish his words, he was startled. Then, he jumped off the flying boat.
