"Great …. Great Sage?"
The cold blade touched his neck. Ye Zichen's eyes flashed with astonishment. He tilted his head and looked behind him.
The person standing half a step away from him was still the Great Sage, but his eyes flashed with a vicious light.
"You still can't tell?"
Gu Li smiled and shook his head silently. Surrounded by demons, the Great Sage's eyes flashed. He looked up at his clone, who was holding the sharpest blade to Ye Zichen's neck.
That wasn't a clone he'd created with monkey fur!
To make things easier for him, the Great Sage had created the clone with monkey fur to create its own consciousness. That way, even if he didn't need to control it, it could complete its tasks on its own. The Great Sage could also pretend to be Gu Li's envoy of the left.
The Great Sage had never considered that something would go wrong with the clone. He'd never gotten in touch with it.
It wasn't until the clone had pointed his sword at Ye Zichen that he considered the possibility that Gu Li had taken control of the clone's consciousness and was trying to regain control.
Only then did he realize that the person standing there was no longer the clone he'd left behind.
The clone he'd created was currently in the north of Biubo City. Ye Zichen could sense that it was on the verge of death.
This wasn't the Great Sage!
Ye Zichen understood. He'd called it the Great Sage just now because everything had happened so suddenly that he hadn't expected it.
If the person standing next to him wasn't the Great Sage, then who was it?
Although this was just a clone of the Great Sage's monkey fur, it still possessed thirty percent of the Great Sage's strength. Ordinary rulers were no match for it. Only Gu Li's two envoys could.
Envoys?
Ye Zichen's heart suddenly went cold.
When the Great Sage said he'd successfully disguised himself as the envoy of the left, he'd found it strange. Although the Great Sage was strong, the envoy of the left was no ordinary person.
According to the Great Sage's description, he'd dealt with him easily.
"It's you."
Ye Zichen looked to the side. The sword-wielding Great Sage had assumed the appearance of the envoy of the left. After his identity was revealed, the envoy of the left didn't say anything. Or perhaps it was better to say that he was a man of few words.
At the same time, Ye Zichen felt someone grab his shoulder. The ice-cold blade pressed hard against his neck, and fresh blood flowed out from his neck.
Under the Envoy of the Left's control, Ye Zichen landed on the ground.
He ignored Ye Zichen and placed his left hand on his chest. His right hand still held his sword against Ye Zichen's neck, then he bowed slightly towards Gu Li.
"Emissary Zuo." The experts surrounding the Great Sage were all smiles.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Li nodded towards Envoy Zuo, then walked in front of Ye Zichen.
"Looks like I've won this round. Hand over the key fragment, and I'll let Great Sage Sun and the members of the Zi family go."
"You're not going to let me go?" Ye Zichen smiled.
"Forgive me for saying this, but you … can't leave."
Ye Zichen took a deep look at Gu Li. From his gaze, he could sense the hatred and madness hidden deep within.
There was a fire burning in his eyes. It was the fire of his heart, the fire of his anger, and a hint of jealousy.
Ye Zichen could understand the first two, but nevermind Gu Li looking at him, even Ye Zichen felt a fire burning within him. It was the flames of jealousy in his eyes that he found hard to understand.
What on earth was he jealous of?
Was he jealous of his luck? Was he jealous of the four auxiliary stars by his side? Was he jealous of the help he had from so many benefactors?
It didn't seem like it!
Although Gu Li had always stood on the opposite side of Ye Zichen, in all fairness, Ye Zichen held him in high regard. Whether it was in terms of shrewdness or intellect, no ordinary person could compare to him.
Gu Li wasn't the type to get jealous over external factors.
So what on earth was he jealous of?
Given the current situation, there was no time to ponder the matter of the lock.
His life was in the enemy's hands.
The most important thing right now was how to escape!
Ye Zichen glanced at the Great Sage. His situation wasn't much better than Ye Zichen's. One of the two emissaries, the Envoy of the Right, was glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey. There were also a dozen or so demon rulers surrounding him.
Although those rulers were nothing more than shrimp soldiers to the Great Sage, two fists were no match for four hands. Furthermore, he had an existence worthy of his full attention.
The Hermit Emperor had given him a talisman, but he couldn't retrieve it from his phone.
It seemed he had no choice but to fight to the death!
Ye Zichen's gaze shifted back and forth. By now, all of Gu Li's subordinates were gathered in Biubo City.
"Are you still thinking about how to escape?" laughed Gu Li.
"I can't just sit around and wait for death, can I? Do you really think I'll be able to survive after falling into your hands?" Ye Zichen didn't even try to hide it.
"Of course not," said Gu Li.
"Seriously, can't you just tell a lie? Who knows, I might actually believe your lies, give up resisting, obediently hand over the fragments of the God Emperor's tomb, and wait for you to spare my life, "said Ye Zichen speechlessly.
Gu Li couldn't help but laugh. Ye Zichen understood him, but how could he not understand Ye Zichen?
There was no point in saying all this!
"I want to see what shocking moves you'll make in your final struggle."
"Then I'll definitely open your eyes!" Ye Zichen's gaze darkened as he roared at the Great Sage. "Great Sage!"
"Return!"
The Great Sage was already prepared. His golden eyes flashed, and a strand of golden monkey fur returned to his neck.
Instantly, the Great Sage wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang grew a thousand times larger.
"Dharma Idol of Heaven and Earth!"
The thousand-meter-tall Great Sage towered into the clouds, casting a huge shadow over the entire Blue Wave City. Suddenly, the Great Sage swung his iron staff viciously at Ye Zichen.
Even the Envoy of the Left didn't dare take the Great Sage's all-out attack head-on.
He instantly appeared before Gu Li, grabbed him by the shoulder, and retreated a hundred meters away.
Rumble.
The earth caved in.
His staff smashed a hundred-meter-deep hole into Biubo City. At that moment, Ye Zichen nimbly stepped into the air, his eyes flashing with fire.
"Fire, come!"
Heavenly fire fell to the ground.
Surging white heavenly fire rained down from the sky, turning everything within a hundred kilometers into a sea of flames.
"Collect!"
As the heavenly fire descended, Ye Zichen summoned the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and sucked all of the civilians into it.
"Great Sage!"
"Understood!"
There was no need for Ye Zichen to say anything. The Great Sage opened his mouth, sucking in the surrounding air and the heavenly fire.
