Back mountain of the Fox clan.
Ye Zichen and the others finally saw the towering tree that represented the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
Uprooted.
The ground around the ancient tree was covered in pink leaves and petals. At the same time, Ye Zichen and co. also saw the young man sitting in front of the ancient tree.
Gu Li!
At his sides were Demon Emperor Kui Lin, King Jiao Hai of the Southern Empire, and King Tie Tan of the Western Regions. Gu Li's two special envoys were present as well. Apart from them, there were also several other experts whose auras were at least at the Great Emperor level.
Disregarding everything else, Ye Zichen's side was already at a disadvantage in terms of experts.
What caught everyone's attention even more was that Gu Li had sat down.
He wasn't sitting on a chair, but a Dragon Clan powerhouse with a dragon horn on his head.
"Xia Yi!"
The Ocean Emperor and Xuan Ji's eyes almost simultaneously widened. The person sitting under Gu Li was none other than the Dragon Race's Grand Elder, Xia Yi!
One could see the deep unwillingness in the eyes of the Dragon Clan expert. His anger at having his dignity desecrated caused his arms and legs to tremble uncontrollably.
"If you don't want your clansmen to die, then kneel, alright?"
Ye Zichen and the others' gazes darkened. They watched as Gu Li rubbed his chin with his left hand, then gently bent over on Xia Yi's lap.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're really slow!"
"Attacking the Fox Clan was your idea." Ye Zichen knit his brows. "I'm in the River Styx. If you have a grudge against me, come find me. Why did you attack the Fox Clan?"
"Haha … Brother Ye is still so naive and unaffected. This Gu admires you."
Gu Li laughed wantonly, then looked at Ye Zichen with disdain.
"I was the one who planned this war. Naturally, I'm the one who decides where to attack and how to attack. If I want to attack the Netherworld River, I will attack it. If I want to attack the Fox clan, I will attack the Fox clan. This … Could it be that Brother Ye also wants to get involved? "
"I didn't expect the Demon Emperor to submit to someone." The Ocean Sovereign snorted. "Aren't you the same, Sea Emperor?" Kui Lin smiled coolly. "The heavens choose one of their two emperors to live in. The Ocean Emperor and the others are also following Star Lord Ye, so we all have the same idea. Why do you have to say that to me? Furthermore, the way I see it, the Star Lord I follow is much stronger than yours.
Yes. "
"He is the other of the Heaven's Chosen Twin Emperors."
The Ocean Emperor glanced at Gu Li. If Gu Li was one of heaven's two chosen emperors, it wouldn't be surprising if Kui Lin knew Ye Zichen was the Emperor Star.
The Heaven's Chosen Twin Emperors were both aware of each other.
"Actually, I feel sorry for the God Emperor. He's clearly the emperor of the God Clan, but he's the only one who's been kept in the dark," said the Demon Emperor with a smile, then turned to look at Su Yiyun. "The new Netherworld Emperor?"
"Hmph," snorted Su Yiyun.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. They really are carved from the same mold." The Demon Emperor shook his head.
"Jiao Hai, Tie Tan, the Demonic Emperor must be heartbroken to have subordinates like you." At this time, Xuan Ji also looked at the two rulers of the yao race. "The East Royal Emperor did not give you the power of the yao race to ally with the demons."
"A yao that has served the God Race for ten thousand years, what qualifications does he have to judge us brothers?" Jiao Hai snorted angrily.
"Alright!"
As the great emperors bickered with each other, Gu Li raised his hand to restrain them.
He rubbed his head, licked his lips, and stood up from Xia Yi's lap, then stretched lazily.
"What's there to argue about? You're all people of status, so don't be like those ruffians in the streets, spouting nonsense that doesn't matter, alright? It's really damaging to your statuses. Look at Brother Ye. Although he's naive and unaffected, he knows how to keep his mouth shut. Learn from him. "
"Yes, Your Excellency."
King Tie Tan of the Western Regions and King Jiao Hai of the Southern Empire cupped their hands respectfully. Although the Demon Emperor was Gu Li's subordinate, he was still the ruler of a realm. With so many subordinates watching, he had to consider his own face, so he didn't bow.
"Who the hell are you calling naive and unaffected? Believe it or not, I, your Grandpa Yang, will …."
"Yang Jian!"
Just as Yang Jian was about to stick up for Ye Zichen, Ye Zichen frowned and shouted, then shook his head.
"What exactly is your goal?"
Ye Zichen stared intently at Gu Li and frowned. "Just now, you said it yourself. You've been waiting for me for a long time. It's obvious you're here for me. You know I'm in the River Styx, so you could've just gone there to find me. You attacked the Fox Clan. Why …. Did you come to break my arm? "
"I don't dare go," said Gu Li with a bitter smile.
"Brother Ye, you're lucky. Even if I have a million tricks up my sleeve, I can't beat your millions of benefactors. Who knows if another expert will come to your rescue if I go to the River Styx? I'm a bit afraid that the person behind you won't dare fight you. "
"Hah, luck is a part of strength," said Ye Zichen.
"Of course, I never said it wasn't!" Gu Li shrugged and laughed. "I'm not mocking you at all. In fact, I'm rather envious of you. If I were as lucky as you, I might have transcended long ago and unified the Three Realms! "
"But you didn't," said Ye Zichen.
Gu Li's words were naturally meant to mock Ye Zichen.
He wanted to show that Ye Zichen was inferior to him. Whether it was in terms of scheming or anything else, Ye Zichen was far inferior. It was just that Gu Li's luck was good; someone would always come to his rescue.
But Gu Li had never considered why ….
Ye Zichen had it, but he hadn't.
A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little.
He'd never considered it.
Ye Zichen naturally wouldn't be provoked into anger. He wasn't a child. He'd long since passed the age where he'd have to curse back at him.
If he just calmly replied, it would be the best counterattack.
I did!
You didn't!
As expected, Gu Li's sinister smile froze.
He really didn't.
No one could imagine how much he'd sacrificed to get to this point. In terms of luck, he was far inferior to Ye Zichen. He was certain that if Ye Zichen's luck had been his, his accomplishments would've been far greater. Yet …..
He hadn't!
Was this the checks and balances the heavens had chosen to keep two emperors in check?
That was all Gu Li could think of right now. Otherwise, why would his luck be so poor when the heavens chose two emperors? But he'd forgotten that when he'd been defeated, someone had come to his rescue.
A hint of resentment flashed through Gu Li's eyes, but he quickly composed himself. A smile tugged at his lips.
He hadn't waited for Ye Zichen to come here just to say this.
"Brother Ye, I admire your good fortune." Gu Li's narrowed eyes flashed with sharp light. "That's not all. In truth, while you were here, I prepared a generous gift for you. Please, take a look."
