The cyan-robed yao expert's smile instantly vanished. When he looked at Ye Zichen, it was as if he'd encountered a primordial beast. His eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but retreat.
As he retreated, he snuck a peek at the Yao-Sealing Pagoda in Ye Zichen's hands. Instantly, the cyan-robed expert's face drained of all color. He braced himself against the light barrier, lowered his head, and retched.
Ye Zichen stared blankly at the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
Judging from the azure-robed expert's expression, he must have had some sort of past with the Five Elements Great Emperor, and it was a rather bad memory.
However, he kept retching …
Could it be that this blue-robed expert had also been captured by the Yao-Sealing Pagoda before?
"Senior."
Ye Zichen instinctively wanted to ask about the azure-robed expert, but when the yao saw him approach, he reached out as if to push him away.
"Don't come over, don't come over …"
When he heard that, Ye Zichen froze in place, while the blue-robed expert panted heavily.
The people on the second floor of the dungeon only saw his pale face and his retching appearance. What he didn't know was that the Yao-Sealing Pagoda was actually a nightmare to him.
Looking at this iron tower that was only the size of a palm, he could think of the past …
"Don't think about it!"
He muttered to himself and shook his head vigorously. After a long time, the green-robed expert of the Demon Clan calmed down. He heaved a long sigh of relief as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. He took out a bottle of wine from his bosom and gulped it down.
As soon as the strong liquor entered his mouth, it was as if a ball of fire had ignited his entire body.
This kind of stimulation also made him walk out of his state of retching, and his pale face was a little more flushed.
"You …." The yao expert sitting cross-legged by the bed pointed forward. When Ye Zichen saw this, he picked up the Yao-Sealing Pagoda and walked over. When the yao saw him, his pupils constricted. "Hurry up and put it away."
"Ao ao ao."
Ye Zichen subconsciously revealed an air of endearment. If this yao expert's emotions fluctuated so much when he saw the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, he definitely had bad memories of the pagoda. Ye Zichen, however, acted as if he hadn't reacted at all. The Yao-Sealing Pagoda remained in the yao expert's line of sight the entire time.
After putting away the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, the Yao expert sighed in relief and shook his head.
"You brat, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"Senior, please understand. Junior did not do it on purpose." Ye Zichen smiled wryly. "I feel like only a few of my treasures are worthy of your attention. You didn't care about the armor and the brick. After much consideration, I can only think of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda … "
"Don't mention its name to me!" The Fiend Race expert shouted.
"Oh," Ye Zichen obediently shut up.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the dungeon was awkward. At that moment, the third floor's demon emperor suddenly went berserk. Yang Jian and Pu Jingwan hurriedly returned to Ye Zichen's side and used their divine power to protect him. The cyan-robed yao expert frowned, then drew a few lines in front of him.
This time, the old Demon Emperor's rampage only lasted for a short time, disappearing in less than a dozen breaths.
The commotion eased the tension on the second floor somewhat. The yao expert narrowed his eyes at Ye Zichen.
"You still haven't told me about your relationship with the five elements. What, are you his descendant? "
"Senior, this junior is not related to the Five Elements Great Emperor by blood," said Ye Zichen respectfully. "If that's not the case, then I'm curious. Everyone knows that Emperor Hades and the Five Elements Great Emperor were close friends. After the Five Elements Great Emperor died, everyone assumed that Emperor Hades hadn't intervened. Little did they know, he'd tried to assassinate Zhou Wu several times, but to no avail. That's why their relationship soured.
Instead, he was sent to the Divine Mountains to guard the border between the yao and god realms. "
The cyan-robed yao expert's eyes narrowed. His words seemed casual, but when they landed in Ye Zichen's ears, they stirred up waves of shock.
Emperor Hades had tried to assassinate Zhou Wu, but to no avail.
Although Zhou Wu was heartless, no one could ignore his cultivation. He was strong enough to sit atop the God Emperor's throne. Although Emperor Hades's cultivation was unfathomable, it wasn't impossible that he'd failed to assassinate Zhou Wu.
What Ye Zichen cared about was that Emperor Hades had tried to assassinate him ….
The Fox Empress, Su Qingyan, and clan head, Su Wan, were once the Five Elements Great Emperor's wives. Back when the Five Elements Great Emperor died, Su Qingyan had gone to the River Styx three times, begging him to retrieve his soul from the river of time. However, he'd refused.
For a time, the empress assumed that Emperor Hades had disregarded his brotherly ties with the Five Elements Great Emperor and resented him.
From then on, they'd stopped communicating for ten thousand years.
Even now, when both sides were in the same battle preparation group, the empress and Emperor Hades hadn't communicated with each other at all.
But now, the cyan-robed yao expert overturned that theory and said that Emperor Hades had tried to assassinate Zhou Wu multiple times.
"Senior, how do you know all this?" Ye Zichen didn't understand. Both Emperor Hades and the God Emperor Zhou Wu were famous figures. Ye Zichen had naturally never underestimated yao experts. However, no one else knew about these assassinations. Not even the Ocean Emperor, Great Emperor Bi 'an, Great Emperor Chao Feng, or Lady Providence knew about them.
This yao expert's cultivation was similar to theirs, so how could he possibly know such secrets?
"How would I know? When Emperor Hades tried to assassinate Zhou Wu, I was there …." The cyan-robed expert narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something. He swallowed the rest of his words, then snorted at Ye Zichen. "Kid, you're trying to get information out of me."
"I wouldn't dare." Ye Zichen bowed and cupped his hands. "It's just that the Fox Empress resented Emperor Hades for not searching the River of Time for the Five Elements Great Emperor's soul. Now you're saying that Emperor Hades tried to assassinate Zhou Wu to avenge the Five Elements Great Emperor …."
"Su Qingyan's rejection was inevitable!" Laughed the cyan-robed yao expert. "Emperor Hades was grievously injured when he tried to assassinate Zhou Wu. His decline came early because of those assassinations. You can ask Zhou Wu if he didn't show his face for a thousand years after the Five Elements Great Emperor died. That's because Emperor Hades made things difficult for him. It took him a thousand years to recover.
”
"As for Five Elements' soul, the Five Elements Great Emperor was an emperor level expert when he was still alive. Even if Emperor Hades found his soul, the backlash wasn't something he could withstand. Besides, the Five Elements Great Emperor's soul didn't return to the River Styx at all. How could Emperor Hades have come back to life? "
"You even know that?" said Ye Zichen in astonishment.
"What's the fuss about knowing that?"
Even though the cyan-robed yao expert was talking about secrets that even great emperors wouldn't know, his expression was as calm as ever. There was no hint of arrogance in it.
