As soon as Gu Li finished speaking, the immortals surrounding the God Emperor's Tomb couldn't help but leave the vicinity of the tomb.
However, from their expressions, it was clear that this wasn't their own will.
They'd been driven out!
"That's much more comfortable."
After driving the immortals away, a hint of a smile flashed through Gu Li's eyes. By now, only Gu Li and Ye Zichen remained within a few hundred meters of the tomb.
Everyone knew that the God Emperor's tomb contained heaven-defying good fortune, yet they'd been driven out of the realm for no apparent reason.
How could the immortals just let it go?
After being driven out, quite a few immortals gathered around the God Emperor's tomb. However, Gu Li had long since set up seals around the tomb. Nevermind sky immortals and immortal kings, not even the rulers of the God, Yao, and Demon Realms could break through.
The immortals activated countless magical artifacts in an attempt to shatter the barrier.
However, their actions were like ants trying to shake a tree. It was as if they were dreaming.
"Emperor Ye!" At that moment, an expert among the immortals stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Ye Zichen from several hundred meters away. "What is the meaning of this?"
Those who recognized Ye Zichen were naturally people who'd lived in the Lower Three Realms for many years.
At the very least, they weren't of the new generation born after the ley lines appeared.
Gu Li had driven them out of the realm, so they couldn't return. All they could do was question Ye Zichen. Although Ye Zichen was Emperor Ye, in the face of good fortune, they couldn't care less.
"Good fortune has always been revealed to the fated. Since this tomb is in the Immortal Region, and we're lucky enough to be here, it means we're connected to it by fate. You forcefully drove us away, but have you ever thought about how we, the immortals of the Immortal Region, who revered you, would be bitterly disappointed? "
"What a sharp tongue."
Without waiting for Ye Zichen's response, Gu Li stepped through the air and landed in front of the man who'd spoken up.
When they saw this, Ye Zichen and the others hurried after him, afraid that Gu Li would kill the Immortal Region expert in a fit of rage.
With his cultivation level, it would probably be effortless for him to kill a Celestial King Stage expert.
"Gu Li!"
Ye Zichen shouted. Gu Li tilted his head, glanced at him, and snorted.
"Don't worry, I know they were once under your jurisdiction. I won't take their lives. But you have to make them recognize the situation before them. You don't need to say anything, just leave it to me. You … are too soft-hearted. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Li turned around.
The coldness in his eyes made the other immortals feel like they had fallen into an ice cave. Even the immortal king who stood out earlier was stunned speechless. His gaze was complicated.
He didn't want to give up on this opportunity, but he was afraid of the person in front of him.
"What do you want? Don't tell me you want to kill me here?"
"Kill you?" Gu Li laughed coldly. "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
The barrier that immortals couldn't cross had no effect on Gu Li. He stretched out his arm and gripped the neck of the Immortal King tightly, his eyes filled with arrogance and disdain.
The face of the Immortal King, whose neck was grabbed, turned red. He couldn't breathe, and his tongue kept sticking out.
However, before long, Gu Li pushed him away again. The Immortal King instantly knelt in midair, clutched his neck, and coughed uncontrollably.
"If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as slaughtering chickens. If it weren't for your Emperor Ye, do you really think you'd still be alive? "
Although Gu Li had yet to reveal his true strength, the immortals before him all stopped in their tracks.
Their fear of Gu Li was obvious from their eyes. Gu Li said, "driving you away is saving your lives.
Do you think this tomb is good fortune for you? Wrong, its appearance here isn't good fortune at all; it's an undeserved calamity. Human immortals, sky immortals, and immortal kings? Do you really think this tomb is good fortune for you? Human immortals, sky immortals, and immortal kings? You want to lay a finger on the God Emperor's tomb? How laughable! "
"Venerable, what Gu Li said …." Ye Zichen glanced at the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
The Venerable nodded. "He's telling the truth. The tomb's appearance here is an undeserved calamity for these little fellows. You don't even need to think about it. Which one of us can't destroy this lower plane on our own? "
Ye Zichen and the others couldn't agree more. Meanwhile, Gu Li was still talking to the immortals. "You should thank your Emperor Ye. If it weren't for him, given my previous temperament, you would have long since gone to the Underworld. You wouldn't even have the chance to boss me around here. Forget it, I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you. You just can't accept me driving you away, right …..
Then I'll tell you right now that I'm driving you away because I'm stronger than all of you! "
Boom!
Gu Li's aura instantly surged forth like that of a ferocious beast. The void of the lower plane couldn't withstand his might and shattered like a mirror.
Before releasing his aura, Gu Li did his best to avoid harming the immortal kings.
Even so, the immortals were in unspeakable pain. Some coughed up blood, others fell from the sky, and others knelt on the ground, unable to get up. Only a few peak immortal kings managed to stabilize themselves, but even so, they were in terrible shape.
His ruler's aura was fleeting. After showing the immortals a bit of his strength, Gu Li retracted his aura. His gaze was still as cold as ever. He didn't even glance at the immortals as he spoke to Ye Zichen.
"Have your people take them away. If you don't want this place to be plunged into misery and suffering, you'd best tell them that there's no need to keep anyone in the Immortal Region."
Ye Zichen gazed deeply at Gu Li, then ordered Great Emperor Qingming, Xue Lan, and the others to take care of this matter.
Once they received their orders and left, Gu Li reached out his hand.
Ye Zichen didn't need to think too much to know that he wanted the key fragment to the God Emperor's tomb.
However, just as he was about to hand it to Gu Li, his hand froze in mid-air.
"Will more people come when the tomb opens?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" laughed Gu Li.
"If it were just us, there would be no need to do this. Since you said you don't want this place to be plunged into misery and suffering, then ….. "
