The transmission in Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness startled him. Regardless of what Xiao Ting's subordinates were like, their cultivation was already at the peak of the Three Realms.
Even the God, Yao, and Demon Emperors found it difficult to control them. Furthermore, given Xiao Ting's cultivation, there was no way he didn't possess a divine artifact. How could the demons' Holy Maiden possibly control him? If word got out, they'd definitely become the butt of jokes.
"Are you joking?"
"He wasn't controlled through his spiritual sea of consciousness, it was …." Before long, Bai Haoyu's voice rang out. "It's a Phantasm Spirit Fruit!"
"What's that?"
In response to Ye Zichen's questions, Bai Haoyu explained the fruit's effects to him.
After learning of the fruit's effects, an idea popped into Ye Zichen's head.
Drugs.
Phantasm Spirit Fruits were similar to drugs in the Modern Realm. Long-term use would make the user addicted and destroy their willpower. Ye Zichen hadn't expected the Upper Three Realms to have something like this, much less something so useful to someone at Xiao Ting's cultivation.
If she was threatening him with something like this, Ye Zichen could understand Xiao Ting's actions!
For the sake of the Phantasm Spirit Fruit, he had no choice but to do this.
The mighty Lightning Emperor had been tortured by a mirage spirit fruit into becoming someone else's dog. Xiao Ting's actions served as a warning: there were some things you could never touch in this lifetime.
"Your Excellency, Holy Maiden, why are you here all of a sudden? Leave Heavenly God City to me. Soon, I'll be able to open the Demon Gate and bring the Jiuli soldiers into the heart of the God Realm. "
Xiao Ting smiled apologetically and lowered his head, then stood behind the Holy Maiden.
"You can't wait any longer, can you? The people behind me are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of opening the Demon Gate. So long as you say the word, I can kill them on the spot. "
When the Xiao Family's inner sect members heard this, their hearts trembled. They knew ahead of time that Xiao Ting was working with the demons.
Just like the elders, they'd been forced to make a decision because of Xiao Ting's threat. Those who were still alive were the ones who'd decided to betray the God Realm. As for those who'd refused ….
They were all dead!
As a result, when Xiao Ting slaughtered the outer sect clansmen, they simply clenched their fists. None of them said a word to stop him.
But now, Xiao Ting said he'd use their blood to open the Demon Gate. The experts of the inner sect panicked. Suddenly, they envied the women and children Ye Zichen had taken into the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
"Forget it," said the Holy Maiden.
"Saintess." Fear flashed through Xiao Ting's eyes. "Do you think I've delayed the Jiuli's invasion? I can …."
"I already understand your loyalty. Forget about the Demon Race's Gate."
The Holy Maiden shook her head. "Those old fellows in the clan made their own decisions without my approval. I dealt with them before I returned to the clan. The Jiuli Tribe is not interested in participating in this battle. If they want to, let them play by themselves. "
"Then you …"
"I'm here to take you back to the Jiu Li Tribe. I know that you definitely can't stay in the God Race. The Jiu Li Tribe is also the only place for you to stay."
With an indifferent smile, the Holy Lady of the Jiuli Tribe curled her finger at the blood on the ground.
The river of blood converged in the sky, merging into a massive, blood-colored gate.
"Go in. Behind the gate is the Jiu Li Tribe. Before coming here, I've already set aside enough space for your people to live in."
Xiao Ting didn't doubt her words. He turned and glared threateningly at the inner sect clansmen and elders.
Clansmen rushed through the gate. In just a few breaths of time, the Xiao Family estate was completely empty. The only ones left outside were the outer sect clansmen Xiao Ting had already abandoned, as well as a few members of the Upheaval Alliance.
After Xiao Ting entered, the Holy Maiden smiled and glanced at Ye Zichen.
"The Jiu Li Tribe will not participate in this invasion. All the favors I owed you before are written off. I wish you good luck! "
As the Holy Maiden stepped through the gate, the gate, which was made of blood, collapsed with a loud rumble.
Blood splashed onto the ground once more. At that moment, a ripple appeared in the sky. God Emperor Zhou Wu, the emperor of the God Race, had finally arrived.
All he saw was the ruins of the Xiao Family estate, and the ground covered in blood.
The Great Sage and Yang Jian's expressions instantly froze. They looked at Zhou Wu warily, as did the other rulers of the Upheaval Alliance. However, Zhou Wu didn't show the slightest hint of hostility. After checking out the Xiao Family's situation, he smiled and asked, "Alliance Head Ye, may I ask …."
"Alliance Head Ye, may I ask …."
"You're too late. The Xiao Family left the God Race long ago and headed for the demons' Jiu Li Tribe," said Ye Zichen.
"They went to the Jiu Li?" Zhou Wu furrowed his brows.
"You don't know, do you?" Ye Zichen sneered. "Xiao Ting colluded with the demons and betrayed the God Race. Right now, the demons and yao are plotting, no …. They might already be attacking the God Race. As the exalted emperor of the God Race, do you really not know? "
"What?!"
From Zhou Wu's expression, he didn't seem to be faking it. He really didn't know.
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at the Divine Arbiter, who immediately left his side. As she left, they heard the sound of the wind whistling through the air.
The newcomers were none other than the Profound Pavilion's Xuan Ji and several of her divine generals.
When she saw the desolate state of the Xiao Family, Xuan Ji knit her brows.
"Auntie!"
"The great emperors sent you friend requests, but why didn't you accept them?" Xuan Ji scolded Ye Zichen right to his face. "The Xiao Family?"
"They went to the Jiu Li."
Then he recalled the friend requests on his phone. At the time, he'd been in too much of a hurry to save Yang Jian and was afraid of being delayed by external factors, so he hadn't accepted their friend requests.
But now that Xuan Ji had come looking for him, he had no choice but to ask.
"What do you want from me? So many great emperors sent me friend requests all of a sudden. I'm a bit flustered."
"The demons and yao have made their move. The Nine-tailed Fox Clan has suffered heavy losses. The Dragon Race, Vermillion Bird Clan, and the other Sacred Beast Clans have already gone to reinforce them.
"This …."
Ye Zichen instinctively glanced at Yang Jian. Didn't he say they were preparing to attack? How did things suddenly turn out like this?
Zhou Wu's eyes flashed with astonishment.
"Xuan Ji, what did you just say?"
"I said, the yao and demons have joined forces to attack the God Race. The Yao Race's Southern Kingdom has already reached the River Styx. Your position as God Emperor will soon be in jeopardy."
