"Retreat!"
When they saw the demon experts of Biubo City surrounded by heavenly fire, they didn't dare tarry. They sped to the edge of the city.
Ye Zichen's Dao of Fire of the Five Elements hadn't reached full mastery. Although ruler-level experts didn't dare rashly touch the descending heavenly fire, if they defended carefully, it would be difficult to truly harm them. The sea of fire below could only hold them for a short time.
In this short period of time, they needed to tear a hole in the Inescapable Net.
"Great Sage, it's up to you."
The Inescapable Net was ranked ninth on the list of auxiliary divine artifacts. Ye Zichen knew that, given his current diviner cultivation, breaking through it from the inside was a pipe dream.
This divine artifact had trapped even Eastern Monarch Taiyi for the time it took to brew a cup of tea!
The Great Sage nodded solemnly. Although he was still some distance away from Eastern Monarch Taiyi, with the support of his Dharma World, breaking through the net wasn't impossible!
"Ruyi, ruyi!"
As the Great Sage muttered, the Ruyi Jingu Bang transformed into a long, sharp needle.
That was inevitable!
If you wanted to break through the net, breaking it with a single point was the most effective method!
"Break!"
The Great Sage stabbed the needle viciously into the net. As the Great Sage broke through, Ye Zichen didn't just stand there.
"Fire, come!"
"Wind, come!"
The scorching Heavenly Fire fell from the void without any gap. The howling wind also turned into a tornado, pushing the Heavenly Fire higher and higher.
"The Dao of the Five Elements."
Gu Li narrowed his eyes. He had to admit, the Dao of the Five Elements was causing him no small amount of trouble.
It wasn't just him; his demon subordinates were the same.
He glanced at his subordinates trapped by the heavenly fire. The only ones capable of completely ignoring it were his two emissaries.
"Don't worry about me. Go and capture Ye Zichen."
As soon as he said that, Gu Li's brows darkened. He looked up into the sky.
With the support of his Dharma World, the Great Sage's Ruyi Jingu Bang had already pierced through the net. So long as he could break through it, everything else would be easy.
In the blink of an eye, the Great Sage tore a hole in the net surrounding Biubo City.
However, the Inescapable Net had a self-healing effect, so the wound would not last long before it completely healed.
"Ye 'zi, go!"
Ye Zichen summoned more celestial fire from the sky, fanned the flames, and hurriedly followed the Great Sage out of the rift.
"He really got away." Seeing this, Gu Li couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. "The people outside have finished their preparations, right?"
"Protector Three and Protector Five will stay a hundred miles away from the city," the Special Envoy of the Right said.
"Hurry up and extinguish the fire. We can't stay here for too long. Although Ye Zichen and that monkey don't have the advantage in numbers, if they really go all out, the people outside might not be able to stop them, "said Gu Li.
Swoosh!
Above the clouds, two piercing sounds cut through the sky, and the clouds in the void were blown away by the strong wind brought by these two figures. Naturally, they were Ye Zichen and the Great Sage. After leaving the city, they didn't dare tarry at all. They hurried to the rendezvous point Xiao Yumei had arranged.
"What did they say?"
The Great Sage, who was enveloping Ye Zichen in divine power, furrowed his brows and stared intently at Ye Zichen's phone.
"The signal's a bit shaky, so I can't send a message. When I get back, I'll have the technical department improve the signal."
Although he couldn't send a message, Ye Zichen took out the talisman the Hermit Emperor had given him.
No one could be sure that nothing unexpected would happen along the way. Taking out the talisman was a precaution.
"I, Ol 'Sun, swear that this is the most useless run I've ever had. Just wait until I've settled the Zixia clansmen in, then I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"
The Great Sage's eyes flashed with golden light as he gnashed his teeth and roared.
Although there were many demons, the Great Sage wasn't afraid. If not for the Zixia clansmen, he would've long since told Ye Zichen to hide in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and wait for him while he smashed the demons' heads to bits.
"Enough. It's already good enough that you managed to escape the city."
In that situation, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his life had been hanging by a thread.
Ye Zichen held off the Left Emissary, and the Great Sage was surrounded.
Fortunately, Ye Zichen had the God Emperor's Tomb's key fragment. Before obtaining it, Gu Li didn't dare take his life.
That was why the two of them had time to privately communicate through divine sense, catching Gu Li and the others off guard.
Otherwise ….
Ye Zichen wasn't sure if the Great Sage would've died, but he was probably in deep trouble.
"Given our current speed, if we don't …."
Suddenly, the Great Sage came to a stop.
Ye Zichen extended his divine sense and sensed the auras of dozens of god race experts.
"Something's wrong."
This was the Northern Empire!
The Northern Empire was full of god race experts, which was also good!
But now, so many of them had suddenly appeared, and it felt as if they'd been deliberately waiting for them to show up.
Something was wrong!
Ye Zichen sensed that something was wrong, but they couldn't stop now.
Gu Li and the others from Cerulean Wave City would catch up at any moment. They had no time to ponder the god race experts' intentions.
"Ignore them. If they don't attack us, let's not touch them."
The Great Sage nodded, enveloped Ye Zichen in divine power once more, and rushed forward. However, this time, he wasn't as impetuous as before. Instead, he moved at a relatively slow pace.
Before they'd taken more than a few steps ….
Those Celestial Race experts actually stopped them. Among these people, there were two experts with at least the aura of an Imperial Realm expert.
"What do you mean?" When he saw the experts blocking their way, the Great Sage roared, "we're in a hurry. Take advantage of the fact that I haven't lost my temper yet and scram!"
There was no mistaking the aura of an imperial emperor.
If they'd sensed the Great Sage's imperial emperor aura, they'd definitely have retreated.
However, they didn't waver in the slightest. Ye Zichen and the Great Sage couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
"Brothers, I don't know if you're here for money or … Please speak clearly. We're tourists from the God Race, and we're in a hurry to return to Heavenly God City. Could you please make things easier for us? "Ye Zichen cupped his hands respectfully.
As he spoke, he gripped the talisman the Hermit Emperor had given him.
He could vaguely sense that these people weren't gods.
"There's no way they'll let you go!"
Suddenly, a chuckle rang out in the sky. Ye Zichen and the Great Sage turned around and saw Gu Li rushing towards them, a sinister smile on his face.
