The vast yao and demon armies retreated from the Fox Clan's territory.
Comparatively speaking, the Upheaval Alliance didn't have much of a reaction to their retreat. Besides, this was the Alliance Head's decision, so they had no choice but to obey.
Quite a few of the Upheaval Alliance's members rejoiced that they hadn't fought.
If they really went to war, they would naturally fight against the Demon Clan and the Devil Clan without hesitation, but no one could be sure that they would survive after this war.
This was an army of billions!
As far as the eye could see, even a Heaven Tier warrior would not be able to see the end of this army.
The Profound Pavilion's Divine Generals followed Xuan Ji to a cave in the Fox Clan's back mountains. The Dragon and Vermillion Bird clan heads gave some instructions, then followed.
However …..
"How courageous."
The head of the Black Tortoise Race was a man with a mustache. He wasn't as sturdy as most Black Tortoises, and could be described as thin. His narrow, earthy eyes were hard to look at. He was completely different from the simple and honest Black Tortoise Race head, Tu Biyu, whom Ye Zichen had met in the Lower Three Realms.
His eyes, which were filled with anger, seemed to be burning with fire. The Demonic God Energy in his body was also circulating crazily.
His clansmen's eyes glinted with ferocity. The Upheaval Alliance had no choice but to pay far more attention to them than to the other clans.
The leaders of the other clans felt the same way. They all resented Ye Zichen for letting Gu Li and the others go.
Of course.
Ye Zichen knew full well that leaving Gu Li behind had been a good choice. It was entirely possible that he wouldn't have such a good opportunity in the future.
However, An Lu's pleading softened his heart.
He couldn't steel his heart to refuse, and he didn't want to see the girl's disappointment and helplessness. In truth, An Lu's pleading and Gu Li's tender feelings for her had greatly influenced Ye Zichen's judgment.
If he could look at her with such tenderness, he couldn't necessarily be that bad of a person.
Ye Zichen couldn't argue that he was being too soft-hearted, but he was still willing to give him a chance. He didn't want Gu Li's death to taint An Lu's clear eyes.
He could understand the clans' hatred for Ye Zichen.
So many of their clansmen had died tragically in the hands of the Devil Race. They were naturally unhappy that they were let go so easily. Even though they knew that their chances of winning were slim, they were still willing to shed their blood for their fallen clansmen.
Some tribes thought this way, and some tribes …
That was hard to say.
For example, the Black Tortoise Clan.
On the winding path from the Fox Clan's mountain gate to the back of the mountain, the Black Tortoise Clan had the fewest casualties. They did not see many Black Tortoise Clan casualties along the way.
However, the emotions he was displaying right now were more indignant than any other race.
Could it be that the Black Tortoise Clan's population was scarce? But compared to the Dragon Clan, no matter how scarce they were, they were still considered prosperous. In other words, the Black Tortoise Clan had a strong bond.
Ye Zichen couldn't understand, nor did he want to think about it.
No matter how furious he was, Gu Li, An Lu, and the other demon and yao experts had already retreated from the Fox Clan.
The king of the East was in the most difficult position.
Among the four Demon Kingdoms, the Eastern Kingdom was the strongest in terms of national strength. The Eastern Kingdom was home to many Sacred Beast Clans. Needless to say, the Four Sacred Beast Clans stood at the peak of yao. The Fox Clan, the Heavenly Dog Clan, and the other Yao Clans were all filled with talents.
Even the mere mention of such a country would cause enemies to pale in fear. However ….
Due to the fact that the country was too powerful, the King of the East was actually the one with the least power among the four countries. He was also the one who had the least power.
The head of the Black Tortoise Clan had never been friendly, but when it came to Ye Zichen ….
Yang Jian wasn't easy to deal with either.
Even the king of the Eastern Kingdom didn't dare speak up.
"You better behave yourself. Do you believe that I will directly chop off your head with my saber?"
Yang Jian hefted his lance viciously. To his surprise, the head of the Black Tortoise Clan still looked unconvinced. Yang Jian's blade pressed even closer to his neck.
"Brother Ye, for my sake, don't bother with Tu Kuan."
Wei Chen of the White Tiger Clan stepped forward. None of his clansmen would have guessed that the Wei Family Head, who'd ascended to the White Tiger Clan less than a hundred years ago, who'd refused to take on the clan's surname and still served as acting head, actually knew this human.
They hadn't seen each other for a hundred years, but he hadn't changed at all!
The hideous scar around his eye was still there, and he smiled evilly. For some reason, they felt like this guy was full of evil tricks. However, from his aura, they could tell that he'd grown much calmer.
"I'm not the one bickering with the Black Tortoise Clan Head. It's this clan head who's bickering with me." Ye Zichen shrugged.
"Tu Kuan, there's nothing wrong with what Brother Ye did. Given the situation just now, if we didn't let them go, were we supposed to fight them? Are you sure we can hold our own against the armies of the Western Regions and the Southern Kingdom? What's more, they have demons by their side, "said Wei Chen.
"Third Brother Wei, don't pretend to be righteous and say such nonsense. This is the Black Tortoise Clan's business. It's none of your business, "scolded Tu Kuan.
"Look at you, you bastard." Wei Chen shook his head, speechless. "No wonder you haven't found a wife in half your life. Who would want to be with someone like you? Restrain your foul temper. Otherwise, I'm afraid your Black Tortoise bloodline will end here. "
As the two Sacred Beast clan heads bickered, the other clansmen didn't dare say anything.
Everyone watched as Wei Chen and Tu Kuan cursed at each other. Suddenly …..
The sky …. Darkened!
As soon as Gu Li finished speaking, Xuan Ji rushed to the foot of the mountain to search for her clansmen. The Fox Clan's back mountain was simply too vast. Su Qingyan had brought her here many years ago, but it had been so long that she couldn't remember it clearly.
All she could do was rely on her memories to find a rough location, then send the Profound Pavilion's Divine Generals to search.
"Lady Providence, we found them!"
As the Divine Generals shouted, the others hurried over. Only then did they see that it wasn't just inside the cave. The area outside was filled with clansmen with sealed divine powers.
As expected, Gu Li hadn't lied. They were all here.
The sealed clansmen still retained their consciousnesses. When they saw Xuan Ji and the others arrive, their eyes lit up with joy and gratitude.
"There's a seal?"
Xuan Ji knit her brows. If she wasn't mistaken, the seal had been set up to trap them.
Since the clansmen were too close to the seal, they were practically pressed up against it.
Even though they'd come to rescue them, they couldn't forcibly break the seal. Otherwise, the resulting shockwaves might injure the people inside.
The demons hadn't killed them. Instead, they'd trapped them.
If Xuan Ji and the others accidentally injured or killed them, that would be laughable.
