Chapter 1348: Meeting
The Demon Palace
As the most powerful faction in the Demon Realm, the Demon Palace's location was just as important as its authority. It spanned millions of kilometers, floating in the air above the Demon Realm.
Anyone who could live in the Demon Palace had to be of high status and power.
It's worth mentioning that, unlike the God Emperor's Estate, the Demon Palace was managed by Kui Lin, First Demon God Tagu, and Second Demon God Sumeru.
Tagu occupied the north, Sumeru occupied the south, and Kui Lin occupied the center.
The three of them were in charge of their own factions and didn't interfere with each other's affairs.
Today, however, First Demon God Tagu and Second Demon God Sumeru, who never interacted with each other, met outside a small, unknown village in the Demon Realm.
"You know now, right?"
"Aren't you the same?"
The two old fellows, both with one foot in the grave, didn't even look at each other. They stood about a hundred meters apart, each beneath an ancient tree. Just like that, they began their conversation.
"It seems you've planted a spy in his place, too."
"Likewise. Didn't you plant a spy in my place as well?"
Silence.
Another long while passed ….
"Let's hurry up and finish our conversation. If we can plant a spy in Kui Lin's place, he'll naturally plant one as well. Naturally, he would have planted a spy among us. Perhaps he already knows about our meeting. "
"Afraid of him?"
"Can you stop acting all high and mighty, you old man? That's what annoys me the most."
"If you're annoyed, then scram!"
He could sense that the second demon god was a bit short-tempered.
The conversation between the two of them stopped again.
"Fine, I can't be bothered to argue with you. We've been fighting for our entire lives, and this era is about to end. What's there to fight about? You know Kui Lin's been up to something. Since we haven't seen each other in hundreds of thousands of years, why don't we … work together? "
"Sure!"
"Then it's settled."
Another long silence.
After a long silence, neither of them spoke. After a while, they looked at the two ancient trees again, but the figures of the two of them were long gone.
As for when and how they'd left ….
No one knew.
"Those two old geezers."
Kui Lin sat on his throne in the central Demon Emperor Palace. Someone had just reported to him that Tagu and Sumeru had left at the same time.
With his intelligence, he could naturally sense something, but he only smiled faintly and did not pay much attention to it.
What he didn't expect was that these two old fellows, who had kept each other in check for hundreds of thousands of years, would actually bury the hatchet for him.
However, since he was able to surpass the latecomers and step on them to sit on the throne of the Demon Emperor.
He was not afraid of what these two old fellows could do under his nose, not to mention that he still had important people to receive.
He retracted his gaze and looked down the hall. On the left side of the purple carpet in the center of the hall was a symbol of nobility.
Gu Li sat on the chair with his eyes closed.
At this moment, it was the time of the promise he made in three days. He appeared in the devil hall because he wanted to keep it.
"We've been sitting here for almost six hours. We still don't know when they'll be back. Why don't we discuss it …"
"I want to see An Lu," said Gu Li, cutting him off.
Kui Lin's eyes flashed with fury at this abrupt interruption. When he thought of Gu Li's status, he forcibly suppressed his anger. A fake smile surfaced on his face, then he sat down with Gu Li and waited.
After a while, an alluring woman appeared in front of the Demon Emperor's palace.
The Demon Emperor recognized the man at a glance and asked directly, "Have you found Miss An Lu?"
This woman was none other than the demon ruler Ye Zichen and the others had encountered earlier. Her eyes flashed with a dark light, and when she saw Gu Li in the hall, she hesitated.
"You're not an outsider. Just say it," said the Demon Emperor.
"Someone kidnapped Young Lady An Lu," said the horned female demon ruler.
Gu Li's expression darkened. He grabbed the armrest and snapped it in half. He shot to his feet and glared menacingly at Kui Lin.
"It seems you've hardened your heart!"
He'd come here to take An Lu back, but when he arrived, Kui Lin told him she wasn't in the Demon Emperor's palace. He'd already sent people to look for her.
But now this woman said An Lu had been kidnapped ….
Gu Li could tell that she was a ruler. She was strong enough to rank in the top ten of the Demon Realm's experts.
Someone like her had gone out to look for An Lu, but now she said she'd been kidnapped? Was it the First and Second Demon Gods' doing? They had no reason to attack. What good would capturing An Lu do them?
Or was it the work of yao or gods?
Was that even possible?
"Since you don't want to let her go, there's nothing for us to talk about."
Gu Li looked away coldly, then tried to leave the palace.
The Demon Emperor knit his brows and turned to the female ruler.
"Who kidnapped her?"
"Outsiders," said the female ruler. Gu Li, who was just about to leave, slowed down. Then he heard the woman continue, "we saw Miss An Lu when we went to the Primal Chaos Void, but by then she was already under the control of a group of Outsiders. Furthermore, he said he wanted An Lu. His name is Ye Zichen. If you want An Lu back, you should go find him yourself. "
Swoosh.
A blur appeared in front of the female ruler. Gu Li's arm fiercely grabbed her shoulder, the immense force causing her to feel pain.
However, when he thought about how this person dared to speak to the Demon Emperor in such a manner and how the Demon Emperor seemed to regard him highly, he felt a chill run down his spine.
The female ruler could only endure the pain. Gu Li said, "Let's go.
"Did you just say that An Lu was kidnapped?"
"Ye Zichen."
Boom.
Suddenly, Gu Li's surroundings shone resplendently. They could vaguely make out tiny celestial bodies hovering beneath the radiance. He was only a diviner, but his aura was so strong that even the female hegemon wanted to kneel before him.
Kui Lin's pupils constricted. He looked at Gu Li with greed and yearning ….
"This is the Emperor Celestial Fate."
Forget about the female chancellor, even Kui Lin couldn't help but want to submit to Gu Li when he sensed his aura.
This was the power of the Emperor Star.
"Ye Zichen, you again, Ye Zichen …"
Gu Li pushed the female ruler away, his veins bulging. His eyes were sinister as he clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
If it was anyone else, Gu Li wouldn't believe it!
If it was Ye Zichen, he'd believe it!
His arms and shoulders trembled uncontrollably as he clenched his fists. Then he turned to look at the Demon Emperor. Only then did the Demon Emperor see that Gu Li's eyes were filled with stars.
