Although Gu Li's neck was covered with a metal rod, the neck was still the weakest point of defense.
Given the Great Sage's strength, killing Gu Li would only take a few breaths of time.
The surrounding devils were all stunned. They stared at the Great Sage who had appeared in the middle of them, their eyes wide open as they held their weapons.
"Let go of the Holy Master!"
"Hurry up and let go of the Holy Master!"
The demons glared and shouted angrily. The Great Sage, who was holding the Jingu Bang, lifted it up and looked at the demons with a golden gleam in his eyes.
"All of you, shut up! If today becomes the anniversary of the Holy Master's death!"
The Great Sage's eyes flashed with vicious light. He instantly suppressed the demon experts.
"Back off!"
Gu Li roared angrily at the surrounding demons. When they heard his order, they retreated over a hundred meters despite their unwillingness to do so.
This sudden turn of events was shocking to everyone. They couldn't understand why the Great Sage had appeared in their midst, much less in the form of the Envoy of the Left.
Never mind where the Envoy of the Left really was. Could the Great Sage have learned the Unshackled Doppelganger?
In all of the Upper Three Realms, only the Sea Emperor of the Sea of Innocence had managed to learn the Unshackled Doppelganger.
Was the one standing next to Ye Zichen really the Unshackled Doppelganger?
You could say yes, but you could also say no.
In truth, this Great Sage was transformed from monkey hair!
He'd already secretly disposed of the Envoy of the Left by Gu Li's side.
"You've never disappointed me," said Gu Li.
As the staff pressed against his neck, Gu Li couldn't help but nod in admiration.
Just as he raised his hand, the Great Sage's staff pressed down hard on his shoulder.
"Do you want to die?"
When he heard that, Gu Li lowered his hand resentfully.
"We've been rivals for so many years. I should at least keep an eye on you, right? Neither of us wants to suffer at the other's hands, right? It's only natural for me to be cautious. "
Ye Zichen stood in the air, arms crossed, and laughed.
"Retract your Inescapable Net. We came back to take the Zi Family with us. We don't want to take your life."
"You don't want to, or you don't dare?" Laughed Gu Li. "If you kill me here, my subordinates might not let you go."
"You can say that. Anyway, if you want to live, then stop your divine ability!"
Ye Zichen pointed at the divine artifact, the Inescapable Net, which enveloped Greenwave City.
No matter how he answered, Gu Li's words struck a chord in his heart.
Right now, Gu Li really couldn't be killed.
If he and the Great Sage wanted to leave, they'd have to use Gu Li as a hostage. If he killed Gu Li, they'd lose their final bargaining chip. Given how much the demons revered Gu Li, they'd probably go crazy.
If he could, how could Ye Zichen allow him to live another second!?
This time, he had come deep into the tiger's den to rescue Zixia Fairy and her family. The most important thing right now was to hurry up and leave. There would be many more opportunities to fight Gu Li in the future.
Ye Zichen firmly believed that evil would never prevail over good.
It was only a matter of time.
They were said to be the two emperors chosen by the heavens.
The Four Great Auxiliary Stars stood by his side, the Brahma Stars took him as their leader, and even the Transcendence Outer Realms viewed him favorably. Based on everything that had happened, Gu Li would never amount to much.
Perhaps he could fight against him now, but evil would never prevail over good …
In ancient times, the God Emperor could suppress the Demon Emperor.
Even now, Ye Zichen could suppress Gu Li!
Ye Zichen pointed at the inescapable net overhead. Gu Li's life was in the Great Sage's hands. Although the Great Sage was certain that Ye Zichen wouldn't dare kill him, given his temperament, he should be able to see the situation clearly.
If they dragged things out, Ye Zichen would be on the winning side.
"You made a clever move," laughed Gu Li.
"A clever move? Are you sure this isn't a killing move? "asked Ye Zichen." Could it be that you've got a trump card up your sleeve? "
"What do you think?"
Ye Zichen could see Gu Li's fearless smile. Ye Zichen swore that the last thing he wanted to see was that smile.
He knew that this was the last move he'd made before coming here.
His trump card!
The only one he had was the teleportation talisman the Hermit Emperor had left him!
He wanted to see Gu Li's expression of unwillingness. That was the only way to prove that there was nothing he could do.
But now, he was smiling.
Ye Zichen bit his finger, then subconsciously reached out with his divine sense. His eyes, however, were indifferent.
"Is there any point in fighting psychological warfare now?"
"I don't know if there's any point, but I know you're afraid, aren't you?" said Gu Li.
"How can you tell?"
"If you're not afraid, why did you bite your finger and reach out with your divine sense? That …. Isn't that just a sign of fear?"
"It's always better to be cautious. It's better to be safe than sorry. That's the Modern Realm's saying," said Ye Zichen.
"That's right, it's the old saying. The old saying doesn't lie to me. That's why I've lived so cautiously all these years, "said Gu Li.
"But now you're in trouble," said Ye Zichen.
"Who said that? Didn't I tell you already? This isn't a killing move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Sage transformed Gu Li into a puppet, just like the substitute puppet from before.
"The substitute puppet ranks among the top twenty auxiliary divine artifacts for two reasons: it's a substitute, but also because it's a set, not just one."
Gu Li's laughter rang out from a nearby alleyway. He craned his neck and walked up to the demons.
When they realized that the one he'd just held was a puppet, and that their Holy Master was still safe, they immediately surrounded the Great Sage.
The Great Sage hadn't expected this at all. He knit his brows, hefted his staff, and looked around vigilantly.
"This brother of yours is something that I'm very afraid of. In order to lure his true body out, I've really racked my brains. "
Gu Li clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at Ye Zichen, his eyes brimming with amusement.
"Brother Ye, do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? Why don't you show them to me?"
"Hah ….." Ye Zichen laughed coldly.
"It seems you don't have any more." Gu Li pursed his lips. "Is this your final move? How disappointing. Even now, I'm at a loss as to whether or not I should show you my final move. It seems …. You've already lost. "
"Is that so?"
"Oh? It seems you still have more tricks up your sleeve? "laughed Gu Li.
"No, this is indeed my final move. You've won! But I'd like to see just what your final move is, "said Ye Zichen.
"Really? I'm afraid that if I use it, you'll feel despair! "
