Before the Storm
The Northern Divine Mountain, the Sea of Innocence.
When the Hermit Emperor said that Xue Mo could still be saved, everyone in the room was shocked.
Zhao Qianhe and Auntie Ling were the most astonished. They stared fixedly at the Hermit Emperor, their eyes brimming with hope and anticipation. Even Xue Yang's emotionless eyes trembled slightly.
"I can't tell you right now. I have to meet the Master of the Stars first. I'll tell him myself."
"I'm going to go capture him."
Zhao Qianhe tugged at her sleeves and turned to leave, but Xue Yang stopped her.
"What are you doing now?"
Xue Yang didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he looked at the Hermit Emperor.
"How confident are you?"
"I'm not sure. I read about this method in ancient texts, but I'll have to wait for the Master of the Stars to decide how to carry it out," said the Hermit Emperor calmly.
Everyone fell silent once more. However, as time passed, Xue Yang, Xuan Ji, and Bi 'an conversed with each other through their divine senses.
In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.
"Qianhe, go bring Ye Zichen here," said Xue Yang suddenly.
Xue Yang suddenly said. Zhao Qianhe, who'd been waiting for a long time, nodded solemnly, then hurried out. However, just as she reached the door, she bumped into Xue Beibei, who was rushing in as well.
Xue Beibei fell to the ground. She rubbed her sore nose, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Ah, Beibei!"
Xue Beibei hurriedly helped Xue Yang up from the ground. Xue Beibei was still rubbing her nose. Ignoring the pain, she ran over to Xue Yang.
"Dad, Big Sister Murong said the demons' Holy Maiden went looking for Ye Zichen."
"What?"
Shouted Xuan Ji. Bi 'an, who'd been leaning against the door, raised his brows. Auntie Ling's pupils constricted as she held Xue Mo's hand. Xue Yang's brows furrowed.
Even Zhao Qianhe, who'd been about to go looking for Ye Zichen, stopped in her tracks.
"Xuan Ji, aren't you in charge of Heavenly God City now? How could demons appear in the city? And how could they find Ye Zichen?" shouted Xue Yang.
"I haven't received any news." Xuan Ji frowned.
The atmosphere in the room grew tense and heavy. The Holy Maiden had suddenly appeared, but not only had Xuan Ji not heard anything about it, she'd even sent her to find Ye Zichen.
Everyone present understood why she was looking for Ye Zichen!
"Is Heavenly God City managed by Xuan Ji? I don't think so. " Bi 'an, who was leaning against the door, smiled indifferently. "Don't forget that Heavenly God City is ultimately Zhou Wu's territory."
"Zhou Wu." Xue Yang frowned.
At this time, Xuan Ji was also sending messages through jade slips to her subordinates. The jade slips flashed and her expression grew darker and darker.
She kept the jade slip and looked at the others in the room.
"My people have all been replaced. Right now, it's the Shen family's people who are controlling Heavenly God City."
"See, I was right." Bi An snorted.
At this time, he was using the Shen family to replace Xuan Ji's people. At this time …
The few people in the room frowned deeply.
"It looks like Zhou Wu no longer trusts you," Zhao Qianling said.
"Has he ever trusted me?" Bi An was starting to talk a lot. "He only trusts himself. Even the Shen, Bai, Yuchi, and Huangfu families, he's never truly trusted them. He's just that kind of selfish person. "
"Dad, Big Sister Murong is asking me again. What should we do?" Xue Beibei pouted.
Xue Yang smiled bitterly, glanced at the others in the room, then cupped his fists at the Hermit Emperor.
"Hermit Emperor, please take care of my daughter for the time being. We have to personally make a trip to Heavenly God City."
…..
They were too late.
Jiang Wei stood in front of the door. When he saw the Holy Maiden and Ye Zichen, his face ashen and seething with rage, he knew he'd been exposed.
It was laughable; he'd known from the start that hiding things like this wasn't going to work.
The better the concealment method, the longer the concealment method. If it was inferior, the shorter the concealment method. In any case, the truth couldn't be concealed. Lies would always be exposed one day.
He'd never even considered participating in this monstrous lie. His pride and arrogance made it impossible for him to accept lying.
However, in the end, he'd been persuaded by Jiang Yong. Even though he knew this was a quagmire, he'd resolutely jumped in.
Not long ago, even though he'd perfectly played out the words Jiang Yong and the others had taught him, he hadn't been particularly excited. Instead, he'd felt even more suppressed.
He'd been terrified, worried that his lie would be exposed.
When he saw the Holy Maiden, his heart had been in his throat. He'd ignored Murong Xue and the others and gone off on his own. As he chased after the Holy Maiden, his nerves had been stretched to the limit.
When he finally arrived at the Upheaval Alliance and saw the scene before him …
He felt inexplicably relieved.
His lie had been exposed.
It had happened much sooner than he'd expected. However, now that he'd been exposed, he didn't need to worry about being exposed any longer.
It was just ridiculous ….
Why had he been brainwashed by Jiang Yong and agreed to join their army of lies?
Before long, he understood. He just didn't want to watch Ye Zichen walk to his death. That was all.
Judging from Ye Zichen's current state of mind, he absolutely already knew about Xue Mo's injuries. With the Holy Maiden supporting him from behind the scenes, Jiang Wei alone wouldn't be able to stop Ye Zichen and prevent him from acting on impulse.
"I wonder how long it'll take Great Emperor Xue Yang to get here."
As he pondered this, Jiang Wei silently spread out his divine sense. Before Xue Yang arrived, he had to do everything in his power to stop him.
"Brother Ye."
At that moment, Jiang Yong and the others arrived right behind Jiang Wei.
When they saw the Holy Maiden by Ye Zichen's side, their expressions changed despite themselves.
"You're all here."
Ye Zichen's body was already enveloped in a layer of flames. Within the flames, they could faintly make out silver lightning. The temperature of the entire reception room was raised by the flames, and the crackling thunder behind him made everyone feel his monstrous anger.
When she saw Jiang Wei and the others, as well as the Holy Maiden by Ye Zichen's side, her pretty eyes flashed, then she walked up to Ye Zichen's side. The Holy Maiden tactfully retreated to the side.
"Zichen."
Ye Zichen gently patted her hand to indicate that he was fine.
Then he looked coldly at Jiang Wei and the others …..
