"Ye-zi!"
The Great Sage, who was leading the thousands of monkeys, suddenly turned around and roared.
Behind Ye Zichen, a group of diviners hefted their weapons and stealthily approached.
The Ruyi Jingu Bang descended, and the Great Sage landed by Ye Zichen's side.
"Don't get distracted!"
Only now did Ye Zichen notice the fallen diviner. He nodded and smiled. The Great Sage furrowed his brows.
"Yang Jian didn't reply."
"I'll contact him right away."
With that, Ye Zichen didn't add anyone else as a friend. Instead, he found Yang Jian's chat window and sent a message.
"Location!"
He trusted Yang Jian would understand the meaning of this brief message. As expected, before long, Yang Jian replied. He didn't say anything unnecessary; he just sent him a map.
The red dot on the map was the location marked by Yang Jian, which was also his current coordinates.
As for the blue dot on the map, it was Ye Zichen's coordinates. The two of them were very close to each other, so if one were to convert the distance, then …
Yang Jian was right near them.
Before Ye Zichen could relay the message, a massive explosion rocked the inner sect.
Yang Jian, with his third eye open, and Bai Haoyu, wielding a silver sword, charged out of the inner sect.
"Monkey, hurry up and help me! I can't hold on much longer!"
The instant he saw the Great Sage, Yang Jian gnashed his teeth and shouted.
He'd lost count of how many rulers and diviners he'd killed along the way. He'd fought so intensely that he had no time to recover his divine power.
His face was pale, and his third eye was showing signs of disappearing.
"I, Ol 'Sun, am here!"
The Great Sage instantly landed in front of Yang Jian and tossed the Ruyi Jingu Bang high into the air. The Golden Cudgel immediately transformed into countless cudgel shadows, like a towering wall.
The pursuers from the inner sect couldn't break through the afterimages. They were completely entangled.
"Pills."
Ye Zichen arrived by Yang Jian's side and shoved a handful of pills into his hands. When he saw Bai Haoyu, he paused for a moment. When he saw Yang Jian nod at him, he gave him a few pills of his own.
"Many thanks."
Bai Haoyu didn't say anything. He popped the medicinal pill into his mouth, then sat down cross-legged to recover his divine power.
Along the way, his exhaustion was not any less than Yang Jian's. Both of them did not hold back at all. If either of them did not use their full strength, they would most likely die in the Inner Academy.
Xiao Yumei led the rulers of the Upheaval Alliance to protect him, while the Great Sage blocked all of the Xiao Family's inner courtyard experts.
"Ye 'zi, you came just in time. I almost died inside."
Yang Jian, who had recovered a bit of his divine power, took a deep breath. His pale face regained some color.
"This is …." Ye Zichen glanced at Bai Haoyu.
"Bai Haoyu." Before Yang Jian could open the ring, Bai Haoyu said his own name. "You might not have seen me before, but I'm the one who did this to you."
"It's you!"
The ribbon on Xiao Yumei's arm flew towards him, but Bai Haoyu easily tore it apart with a swing of his sword. Yang Jian extended his hand and frowned.
"Don't attack. We're all on the same side."
Even the Great Sage was stunned. As the others watched in confusion, Yang Jian looked intently at the smiling Bai Haoyu, narrowed his eyes, and said, "For now, at least.
We'll talk about the details after we leave this place. "
"Alright."
Ye Zichen was keenly aware that this wasn't the place to talk. The Xiao Family clansmen were eyeing them hungrily, and the Great Sage couldn't possibly hold them off forever.
Since Yang Jian said Bai Haoyu could be trusted, Ye Zichen believed him.
"Retreat!"
Ye Zichen roared, and the Upheaval Alliance's experts broke through the encirclement. The Great Sage, who'd stayed behind, gnashed his teeth, grabbed the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and shoved it outward. A sky full of golden rods slammed into the faces of the inner sect experts.
Breaking through the encirclement was relatively easy. Most of the outer sect experts were diviners, and there were only a few rulers. It was practically impossible to stop them.
"What on earth is Zhou Wu thinking? We're fighting the Xiao Family to this extent, but he still hasn't shown up to take charge," said Ye Zichen with a mocking smile. "That's exactly what he wants to see." "The Lightning Emperor's Estate has a much longer history than Zhou Wu's. In Zhou Wu's heart, the Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family is also a thorn in his side. Fighting us is exactly what he wants, and it'd be best if we fight each other.
That's what he wants to see. "
"He's crazy. Although he's on bad terms with the Upheaval Alliance, they're still part of the God Race. If the yao and demons invade, the Upheaval Alliance's forces will be no small matter. "Yang Jian knit his brows.
"He …."
Ye Zichen thought back to his previous meetings with Zhou Wu. Although he wasn't completely sure what kind of person he was, he had a rough idea.
His passion for transcendence surpassed everything else!
Everything he did was for the sake of taking that final step. In his eyes, the position of God Emperor was nothing more than a stepping stone on his way to transcendence.
Of course, he also had a great desire for power.
If the yao and demons invaded, so be it.
Even if eight of the God Race's nine mountains fell, he'd still be the God Emperor.
"Don't count on him."
In the end, Ye Zichen decided not to discuss Zhou Wu any further. He simply snorted and laughed, then frowned at Yang Jian.
"What exactly did you want to tell me in the group chat?"
"After spying on the Xiao Family, I've come to the conclusion that the Xiao Family is indeed colluding with outsiders, and they're extremely close. In the near future, they'll be preparing to attack the God Race. The demons will be led by the Demon Emperor, and the Nine Li, the Frigid North, and the Yao Race will all be participating, "said Yang Jian.
"That's sudden."
Xue Yang, Chao Feng, Bi 'an, and the Fox Empress, Su Qingyan, had all been gathering information on the demons and yao's movements. However, none of the great emperors had any warning that the demons and yao would be making such a large-scale move.
"But just now, you said they were preparing to attack. That means we still have time to prepare."
The worst thing about war was being caught off guard. However, if they could prepare ahead of time, even if the yao and demons joined forces, they still had a chance of winning.
"Aside from that, I've also received other information."
As he spoke, he looked over at Bai Haoyu. He was about to tell him about the shocking information Bai Haoyu had given him earlier in the hall.
However, before he could speak, the sky was suddenly enveloped by a black mist. Not a speck of light remained.
