The surrounding great emperors sensed the spatial tremors as well. The Upheaval Alliance and Profound Pavilion members immediately went on high alert. Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and the others looked on solemnly as they quietly awaited their arrival.
However, regardless of whether it was the Demon Race or the Devil Race, they could no longer cause any trouble.
So long as they needed Gu Li to transcend into the next era, so long as they cared about Gu Li's survival, they didn't even have the right to negotiate with Ye Zichen.
"The King of the East!"
Xuan Ji froze when she saw the newcomers. She was a fox. Although she'd lived in the God Realm for most of her life, she was familiar with the yao and other experts.
When she saw that the newcomers were the King of the East, she was certain that they were the fox clan's reinforcements.
Then she looked behind her. Dragons, vermillion birds, white tigers, black tortoises …..
Practically all of the Sacred Beast experts had rushed over!
"Xuan Ji!"
The experts were stunned. They glanced at the cowardly demons, then at Ye Zichen, who held Gu Li in his hands.
"You've taken care of everything?"
Nevermind Xuan Ji, even Ye Zichen saw familiar faces among them.
Wei Chen.
He'd once been the head of the White Tiger Clan in the Lower Three Realms. Who would have guessed he'd come to the Upper Three Realms as well?
Of course, after a brief moment of shock, they saw their dead clansmen and their heavily injured elders. This was especially true of Su Qingyan and Su Wan. Their injuries were so severe they were on the verge of death.
"Alliance Head Ye.
Has the situation stabilized? If that's the case, I'll be going to the Demon Race to heal my comrades. "
The vice palace head appeared before Ye Zichen. When he heard this, Ye Zichen frowned and looked around.
Based on Kui Lin and the others' gazes, it was clear that they cared about Gu Li, especially now that the Sacred Beast reinforcements had arrived. The tables had turned, and they wouldn't dare do anything.
Having made up his mind, Ye Zichen nodded, and the vice palace head immediately led a group of grandmaster-level doctors to treat their injuries. The first to arrive was the Fox Empress, Su Qingyan. Out of everyone present, her injuries were the most severe.
"Gu Li, I've turned the tables."
Ye Zichen sealed Gu Li's divine pill, then smashed it into the ground.
Xuan Ji and the others watched the yao and demons warily. Even though Gu Li had broken free of Ye Zichen's restraints, they had no way of bringing him back to their side.
"I lost?"
Gu Li, who'd been pushed to the ground, sat down and sneered.
"I haven't lost. Even if I'm captured by you right now, you wouldn't dare to kill me. I am the only way to keep them in check. If you kill me then the demon race will attack the god race's Divine Mountain. As for you people … even if there are reinforcements from the saints, not many of you will be able to escape. "
"So, you still say that I lost?"
Ye Zichen smiled. "Earlier, you said I was full of myself. It seems like … you're the same."
Gu Li raised his eyebrows, "Please elaborate!"
"You said that you are the only way to keep them in check because of your identity as the Emperor Star. But you forgot, I'm also the Emperor Star, "laughed Ye Zichen." If I kill you, they can absolutely support me, can't they? "
"How is that possible? You and the demons are mortal enemies. If they support you, are you sure they won't hold a grudge against you?"
"I can!" said Ye Zichen confidently.
Gu Li was momentarily stunned by his confident tone, but he quickly smiled and shook his head.
"You can, but they won't. If you don't believe me, you can try and see if they'll wholeheartedly support you after you kill me. Nevermind everything else, just the great emperors under your command are already at a point where they can no longer coexist with the great emperors here. "
"In the future, your alliance will be filled with internal strife. If things go on like this, it'll eventually split ….."
"Even so, I don't want to keep you around."
Ye Zichen was just about to slam his palm down, when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Gu Li.
Gu Li had already closed his eyes, but when he opened them, he caught a whiff of her fragrance. When he opened his eyes, he saw a young woman in a jade-green dress.
He didn't even need to see her face to know …..
"An Lu."
It was hard to imagine that the cruel, merciless Gu Li, who killed without batting an eyelid, would call out someone's name in such a gentle tone.
Ye Zichen was just about to slam his palm down when he stopped.
That's right, this was An Lu.
"Big Brother Zichen, An Lu is begging you. Please let Gu Li go, okay? He's a good person, he's not bad. I'm begging you, please let Gu Li go. An Lu is begging you. "
To his surprise, An Lu knelt in front of Ye Zichen. Her clear, serene eyes were filled with tears, and her innocent face was filled with worry. She repeatedly kowtowed to Ye Zichen.
"An Lu, I'm begging you. Let Gu Li go!"
"An Lu, I'm begging you. Let Gu Li go!"
…..
Ye Zichen was completely stunned. It wasn't just him. Even the great emperors, who'd never met An Lu before, couldn't hide their astonishment. It was hard to imagine that a girl with such clear eyes would know someone like Gu Li, whose hands were soaked in blood.
She would beg for his life and say he was a good person.
"Big Brother Zichen, I'm begging you. Let Gu Li go, okay? An Lu is willing to do anything for you. I'm begging you. Let Gu Li go! "
Even though Ye Zichen resented Gu Li, he couldn't refuse in the face of such clear, limpid eyes.
Gu Li, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up and reached out to grab An Lu …..
"Hmph."
Ye Zichen instantly knit his brows. Gu Li felt as if a giant hammer had smashed into his chest. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Gu Li."
An Lu hurriedly ran over, ignoring the blood on his body. She repeatedly wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, her eyes brimming with worry.
"An Lu, don't beg him. Beg anyone but him!"
When he looked at Ye Zichen, Gu Li's gaze was as sharp as ever. When he looked at An Lu, it was as if he'd been cleansed. There wasn't even the slightest hint of hostility in his eyes.
"I'm so glad I can see you."
"Gu Li, don't be like this. Big Brother Zichen is a good person. I'll ask him for mercy on your behalf. He'll definitely let you go." With that, An Lu ran over and knelt to the ground again. However, this time, Ye Zichen didn't make her kneel.
"Big Brother Zichen ….."
An Lu didn't kneel, but her eyes were filled with grievance. Ye Zichen shook his head and sighed. He bent down and brushed the dirt and grass from her knees, then used his divine power to wipe away the blood on her forehead.
"You're not allowed to touch her!" roared Gu Li.
