The cold wind was bone-chilling.
It was as if the borders of the Northern Kingdom, where birds sang and flowers bloomed, were covered in frost.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh. He'd underestimated Gu Li's desire for the key fragment.
There were more than a hundred people.
All of them were experts above the Celestial Being Realm.
This number of people was already more than the number of experts in any of the three cities of the God, Yao, and Demon Races.
The number of demon experts he'd brought with him was already astonishing. Ye Zichen had once wondered how he'd managed to bring so many people to the Yao Northern Kingdom.
Now, there were so many people lying in ambush.
Could it be that he had fought his way through city by city?
This didn't make sense either!
If they really attacked, the King of the Northern Kingdom would not sit idly by. The only possibility was that it had appeared in their auras.
Based on their auras, Gu Li's men were all God Race experts.
Even Great Sages with the Eyes of Fire and Gold were unable to see through their true forms. How could the people from the north see through them?
It seemed that they had used this method of concealing their aura. In addition, the atmosphere of the Northern Kingdom was especially warm to the experts of the God Race, so they had used this opportunity to come to the Northern Kingdom.
What a generous gesture.
The trapped Ye Zichen couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Forget about Gu Li's two special envoys, just the other demon experts were enough to give him and the Great Sage a headache.
For a moment, he regretted shattering the Hermit Emperor's talisman, even if it meant summoning him over.
He felt that it would be very difficult to turn the situation around.
"Are you surprised? Are you excited?"
When he saw Ye Zichen's somewhat ashen expression, Gu Li stuck his hands into his pockets mockingly, then arched his eyebrows and smiled mockingly.
It felt so good.
These were Gu Li's truest thoughts.
Once again, he gained the upper hand in his clash with Ye Zichen.
That's the look in his eyes!
What he wanted to see was Ye Zichen's current appearance.
Surprise!
Anger!
There was also a tinge of bitterness!
Regardless of whether Ye Zichen felt that way or not, that was what Gu Li read from his expression. "Run! Now you run again! Why did he suddenly stop? Couldn't he be that good at running? The people in front are your Protoss compatriots. Hurry up and negotiate with them so that they can let you go! Or you can tell them that you are the master of the Emperor Star of Ziwei, one of the candidates for transcendence in the future. See if they are willing.
Be your lackey? "
Gu Li laughed sinisterly. A sinister smile hung on his face as he stared directly into Ye Zichen's eyes.
Looking at him now, it felt like his temperament was a little twisted.
"You've got some tricks up your sleeve," said Ye Zichen coolly. "You've really planned ahead. You actually set up an ambush outside the city."
"Ye."
The Great Sage's divine sense transmission rang out in Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness.
"Don't worry," said Ye Zichen. "I've already crushed the talisman the Hermit Emperor left me. It shouldn't be long before the Hermit Emperor hurries over, and perhaps even the other great emperors."
"That's easy."
The Great Saint of the Demon Race clenched the Jingu Bang in his right hand and grinned.
"Enter the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and wait for the other Great Emperors."
"Then you …"
"I, Laishun, will naturally play with them." The Great Sage's expression was ferocious. "I've been repressed ever since I was born in the North, and I've been looking for a place to vent!"
"Can I trust you?" said Ye Zichen solemnly.
"Just wait and see. These bastards can't hurt me. My title as the Victorious Fighting Buddha isn't for nothing!" said the Great Sage.
That seemed like the best course of action.
Naturally, he wanted to fight alongside the Great Sage, but both he and the Great Sage knew that, given his current cultivation, even with his mastery of the Five Elements, it would be difficult for him to protect himself.
There were simply too many people here.
Entering the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and waiting for reinforcements was the best choice.
If the Great Sage was willing to fight outside, then so be it. If something really did happen to him, Ye Zichen could take him inside the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
"Alright, then be careful." Ye Zichen nodded.
With that, Ye Zichen's divine sense connected to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. The Great Sage hefted the Jingu Bang, his aura billowing to the heavens as he prepared to attack the demons.
"Hey ….."
The connection was severed.
Ye Zichen's connection to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda had been completely severed. His divine sense was sealed, and a black-robed man appeared before him.
The Envoy of the Left.
Gu Li's Envoy of the Left stood in front of him. His hand was pressed against Ye Zichen's forehead, sealing his divine sense from the very source.
The Great Sage quickly noticed this and swung his Jingu Bang viciously at the Envoy of the Left.
However, someone caught him midway.
The Right Envoy.
This time, it was Gu Li's Right Envoy. He wore a pair of black leather gloves that glowed with a faint light.
His hand clenched tightly around the Great Sage's iron staff. He couldn't move it in the slightest.
At the same time, the Great Sage's five vitals were pressed against his weapon. His movements were completely sealed.
"You can't enter the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. If you do, things will get troublesome."
Gu Li rubbed his hands, then slowly looked up and glanced coldly at Ye Zichen.
"The Yao-Sealing Pagoda is the number one divine artifact among all auxiliary divine artifacts. Although it's no longer on the rankings, it's still unoccupied."
"The Yao-Sealing Pagoda was forged from meteorites Emperor Hades found in the Outside. Coupled with a host of other expensive materials, even an emperor-level expert would find it difficult to shake the pagoda. You call it an auxiliary divine artifact, but in truth, it's also a defensive divine artifact. "
"If I let you in and you're determined to hide inside like a turtle, I really can't do anything to you."
Gu Li circled Ye Zichen with his hands behind his back. However, even now, Ye Zichen's lips still curved in a barely discernible smile.
Gu Li didn't know where that smile came from, but he was furious.
He punched Ye Zichen in the stomach. His stomach spasmed, and he coughed up acid. At the same time, Gu Li grabbed Ye Zichen's chin.
"Why don't you give me another smile?"
"Why should I listen to you? If you want me to smile, I'll smile. Do you think I don't care about face?" said Ye Zichen.
"Hand over the God Emperor's Tomb's key fragment," said Gu Li.
"If I don't, do you dare kill me?" said Ye Zichen.
Gu Li tightened his grip. Ye Zichen could hear the bones in his jaw creak. After glaring at him a few more times, Gu Li swung Ye Zichen's head away.
"I really don't know where you get your confidence from. How dare you talk to me like that?"
Gu Li wiped his hands on Ye Zichen's clothes, then narrowed his eyes.
"In the past, there'd always be people who'd try to save you. This time, everyone here is mine. Why don't you try and find someone else to save you?"
