As Kui Lin's sinister smile faded, a cloud of bloody mist erupted from the depths of the pit.
The thick, blood-colored mist allowed the people within to clearly see what was going on. Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and the others stood in front of Ye Zichen. The Emperors surrounding Kui Lin didn't hold back either, and they released as much divine power as they could.
"How dare you try to kill me!"
Great Emperor Chao Feng bore the brunt of the attack. He hefted his spear of starlight and hurled it at Kui Lin.
Empress Su Qingyan, Su Wan, and Xuan Ji dispersed the blood mist as quickly as they could. Once it cleared a little, the other emperors prepared to unleash their battle techniques, but to their surprise, Kui Lin had long since disappeared from the pit.
The Ocean Sovereign, who was charging ahead, stopped and frowned at the empty crater.
Great Emperor Bi 'an, still wielding his Hidden Dragon Sword, angrily waved his hand and stared at the pit beneath their feet.
"We let him escape."
Judging from Kui Lin's expression, everyone thought he was going to fight to the death. Who would've guessed he'd end up like this? He'd taken advantage of the great emperors' off-guard and fled?
"With the Holy Light Brand, he can't have gotten far in such a short time. I'll go catch him." Bi 'an gestured to chase after him, but Great Emperor Chao Feng stopped him before he could move. "Don't go."
"You're letting him go just like that? Once he returns to the demons, he'll definitely be a disaster! "" You won't be able to catch up to him. " The Ocean Emperor glanced at the blood mist, which had yet to completely disperse. "Just now, he must've used the demons' forbidden technique, Blood Explosion. He completely abandoned his body and self-destructed, leaving only a sliver of his soul behind. If Chao Feng doesn't want you to chase after him, that means his Holy Light Brand is gone.
Let's go. "
Chao Feng nodded. It was true that he couldn't sense the Holy Light Brand he'd left on Kui Lin's body.
If the Holy Light Brand was still there to restrict Kui Lin's movements, Bi 'an wouldn't even need to chase after him.
"He escaped?"
The empress, Su Qingyan, and the others rushed over as well. When they saw that Kui Lin was long gone, they couldn't see any trace of him.
Chao Feng and the others nodded. The Ocean Emperor put away his Sea God Set.
"Without the sea region, your Seagod's Three Piece Set is really useless."
It was Xuan Ji who spoke. The Ocean Emperor glanced at her but said nothing.
That was indeed the case!
The Sea God's three-piece suit was very strong, and he was almost invincible in the sea region. However, the restrictions of this god-bestowed suit were too great. Without the sea, it wouldn't be his home ground. Even with the support of the three-piece Seagod Set, his battle strength still wouldn't increase much. It could even be said that it was somewhat weakened.
Even the Ocean Emperor couldn't argue that they were useless. Whether it was Xuan Ji's Compass of Fate or Bi 'an's Hidden Dragon Sword, these two divine artifacts could unleash their greatest power anywhere.
What a pity!
If the battle had taken place in the Sea of Innocence or the River Styx, the Sea Emperor wouldn't have dared say that she'd be able to subdue Kui Lin. At the very least, she wouldn't have felt so powerless.
"Don't say that. At least in the sea region, the Ocean Emperor is an existence that no one can underestimate." Su Wan 'er smiled kindly.
"How annoying. If only I could finish off Kui Lin here …."
Bi 'an was still furious at Kui Lin's escape, but Xuan Ji laughed.
"So what if he got away? After using Blood Explosion, he lost less than a tenth of his strength. Even if he rebuilds his body, it'll be hard to see him stirring up trouble in the near future. Besides, have you forgotten about that ….. "
Xuan Ji glanced at Gu Luolin. While they'd been furious at Kui Lin's escape, she was even more furious than they were.
When they considered her background, the emperors couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Compared to being captured, Kui Lin's escape seemed like a mistake.
"How could you let him get away just like that?"
When she sensed Kui Lin's escape, Gu Luolin's face flushed red with anger. She puffed up her cheeks, gnashed her teeth, and clenched her fists tightly.
"He ran well! When I get back to the clan, I'll have my father and mother beat him to death! "
Ye Zichen couldn't help but smile bitterly. At some point, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure had appeared beside them.
"Even if he goes back, I doubt he'll have a good time!"
"You still know how to come over?" The Great Sage glared at him in exasperation. "I, Ol 'Sun, asked for your help just now, but you didn't even help. What a waste of a brother!"
He didn't have the Ruyi Jingu Bang, so he could only use a wooden stick.
While fighting Kui Lin's clone, if the Great Sage used just a bit more of his divine power, the wooden stick would explode. He couldn't harm the clone, and the clone stuck to him like sticky candy. The Great Sage, who'd always had a short temper, was furious.
It was then that he sent a transmission to the Venerable of Numinous Treasure, asking him to come over and help.
However, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure acted as if he hadn't received the transmission at all. He simply stood there, watching the commotion without moving.
"Did you come looking for me just now? I don't know."
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure grinned. From his grin, it was obvious he'd received the transmission but was too lazy to move.
Fortunately, nothing had happened. The Great Sage couldn't be bothered to argue with him, so he waved his hand and ignored him.
Ye Zichen, however, paid no attention to the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and the Great Sage's minor conflict. What he cared about was what the Venerable of Numinous Treasure had just said …..
Even if he goes back, he won't have a good time?
Suddenly, an idea popped into Ye Zichen's mind, and his eyes flashed with a dark light.
"Venerable of Numinous Treasure, what do you mean …."
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure chuckled, then glanced around discreetly, indicating that this wasn't the place to talk.
Ye Zichen understood and didn't ask any more questions. The Ocean Emperor and the others hurried over as well. Right now, they cared more about the fortune within the tomb than anything else.
"Star Lord Ye …."
"I'm a bit tired. We've been here for too long, and I'm sure you all have a lot of business to attend to. How about we head back first? We can talk later. "
"That's fine too."
…..
…..
…..
By the time Ye Zichen and the others returned to the God Realm, it was already late at night.
The other emperors returned to the Upper Plane and left one after the other. Ye Zichen was happy to oblige, so he bid them farewell and returned to the Tenth Divine Mountain. However, Gu Li and the others had followed Ye Zichen. What gave him even more of a headache was that Gu Luolin had tagged along as well.
Chaos City!
This was a city located at the center of the Tenth Divine Mountain. Ye Zichen had decided to make it the Upheaval Alliance's base, and named it Chaos City.
Even though it was late at night, the city was still brightly lit.
Rulers from the First Era had split into several large groups and stood guard outside the city.
Their perimeter wasn't limited to just this one city; the area within a few million kilometers of the city was under their watch.
"This is your territory?"
Gu Luolin blinked at Ye Zichen. The Gu Clan had naturally heard of the Tenth Divine Mountain's appearance, but at the time, she didn't know it belonged to her nephew, so she hadn't asked around.
At this point, Gu Luolin realized that his eldest nephew seemed to be much more powerful than he had imagined.
Millions of rulers and diviners stood guard around the city. Although they weren't as strong as the Gu Family, such a formidable force was still impressive.
"Zichen, you're back!"
As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Yumei appeared before them, followed by Xiao Yan and the other higher-ups of the Upheaval Alliance.
"You're my nephew's wife, right?"
Gu Luolin cut in before Ye Zichen could say anything.
"That …."
Xiao Yumei was speechless. She didn't know what to say.
Before returning, Ye Zichen had notified her in advance, but since time was tight, he hadn't told her about the tomb. She had no idea at all about Ye Zichen's aunt.
"Yumei, prepare a room for them. I have other business to attend to. If it's not urgent, then wait until tomorrow to talk to me."
"Alright."
Xiao Yumei gestured for Gu Li, Gu Luolin, and the others to leave, but Ye Zichen left the Venerable of Numinous Treasure behind. The two of them nodded at each other, then dashed towards Ye Zichen's residence.
Ye Zichen and the Venerable of Numinous Treasure sat in a courtyard gazing at each other.
"Venerable Numinous Treasure, may I ask …."
The Venerable smiled, took out a phone, and pushed it in front of Ye Zichen. This was obviously the one Ye Zichen had given him earlier.
Ye Zichen took a deep breath and accepted the phone. When he opened it, he saw that it was a social media app.
Aside from Ye Zichen, there were two more people with no profile picture.
"This is …."
"That old man has agreed to cooperate with us." The Venerable of Lingbao grinned and pointed to the contact person at the top. "This guy is Hong Mo. I had a brief conversation with him just now. Before he left, he asked me to thank him on your behalf."
Red Fiend!
Ye Zichen had an impression of him. He was one of the six demons who'd once been loyal to the Demon Emperor. Back in the tomb, he'd declared that he would avenge the Demon Emperor, and he knew that Kui Lin had something to do with the Demon Emperor's disappearance.
Since he asked the Venerable of Lingbao to express his gratitude on his behalf, it seemed that he knew about the news of the old Demon Emperor.
When he returned to the Demon Clan, the old Demon Emperor suddenly appeared...
"He left the dungeon?"
Earlier, when Ye Zichen went to the dungeon, the old Demon Emperor seemed unwilling to cooperate. "He left a few days ago. Xue Yang knows what happened. However, he still had scruples about the Xue family's reputation, so he didn't dare to let too many people know. He sent his ex-wife, Zhao Qianling, back not long ago. If I'm not mistaken, she should be waiting for him in Kui Lin's Devil Palace! "the Venerable of Numinous Treasure chuckled.
Laughing.
"Great!"
Ye Zichen slapped his thigh. The old Demon Emperor really came at the right time.
Although the demons had changed dynasties for a while, Ye Zichen trusted that the old Demon Emperor's prestige was still there. Besides, there were still quite a few of the old Demon Emperor's former subordinates.
