No matter how the clan heads and elders tried to explain, Ye Zichen's expression didn't give him any leeway.
They feared the Upheaval Alliance's power, and they were subordinates of the alliance. They didn't dare resist in the slightest. They obediently followed Xiao Yumei out of the guest tower.
"That's more like it. How could people like them have the right to participate in the meeting?"
Gu Li narrowed his eyes, glanced at the spineless outsiders, and laughed contemptuously.
The other people in the hall were also quite dissatisfied with those people. It was not until they were invited out of the guest tower that the expressions of the others became slightly better.
After a while, Xiao Yumei reappeared.
If she'd simply asked them to leave, it wouldn't have taken so long. Clearly, after sending them away, Xiao Yumei consoled them a little.
"Big Sister, there's no need to care about those spineless fools," said Xiao Yan.
"You've been the Xiao Family's Lightning Emperor for so long. Is this all you've got?"
It was obvious that Xiao Yan was afraid of his sister. When he saw her frown, he swallowed the words he was about to say. His eyes darted around, but he didn't dare meet her gaze.
"Heh, it's good that they've been asked to leave. They don't have much skill, but they talk more than anyone else."
Gou Yuzhan, who'd never sat properly, swayed his ahoge. He twisted his body, then changed his position.
"Enough," said Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen stopped the gossip in the hall. Although he didn't want those spineless people to appear, he understood Xiao Yumei's actions.
Although the Upheaval Alliance ruled a single Divine Mountain, it was far from comparable to the other Divine Mountains, which had existed since the beginning of the god race.
Of the dozen or so cities, only the central Upheaval City had any inhabitants. The cities of the Second Ring were sparsely populated, and the Third Ring hadn't been opened to the public.
Xiao Yumei naturally had to treat the Upheaval Alliance's clans well.
She'd invited the clan heads and elders to participate in the meeting in order to deepen their feelings for the Upheaval Alliance.
As the head of the alliance, Ye Zichen's words naturally carried considerable weight.
The clamor in the hall instantly died down. Ye Zichen gestured for Xiao Yumei to take a seat, then swept his gaze over the Upheaval Alliance experts.
"What do you think of the Essence Breaking beasts in the video?"
"What opinion can he have? As long as they dare to come, Grandpa Gou Yuzhan will be willing to see him off."
Gou Yuzhan snorted without hesitation. His Auxiliary Star flickered in his hand, and his tone was filled with disdain.
Ye Zichen and Gu Li raised their eyebrows in unison. To tell the truth, he was even more proficient at using starlight than they were, even though they were from the Emperor Star.
Especially when Gou Yu Zhan's starlight appeared, the space in the room became somewhat chaotic.
The people in the hall could also sense that the palm-sized ball of starlight in his hand seemed to possess the power to destroy the world.
"Brat, can you not recklessly release it? The replenishment of starlight is very time-consuming," Yin Shang said.
"So what if I use it a little?"
Gou Yuzhan dispersed the starlight in his hand resentfully. Judging from his expression, it seemed that his fear of Yin Shang had reached a subconscious level.
However, he quickly glared at Yin Shang and said.
"Do I, the Minister of the Right, need you, the Minister of the Left? You could beat me in the past, but you can't beat me now."
"Then why don't you try fighting Big Sister Liu 'er?"
With that, Gou Yuzhan snuck a glance at Su Liu 'er.
Even though Yin Shang had mentioned her, her expression was the same as ever. She sat upright in her chair, looking straight ahead. Even from afar, they could sense her icy aura, which repelled everyone within a thousand miles.
Big Sister Liu 'er?
Since when were they so familiar with each other?
Ye Zichen furrowed his brows and looked at the three of them.
In truth, when he saw them, Ye Zichen was already beyond curious. In less than two short months, Gou Yuzhan and Yin Shang both radiated the aura of emperors.
Su Liu 'er didn't even need to be mentioned. She was already terrifyingly strong, but now she was more than twice as strong as before.
"Big Sister Liu 'er, what do you think?" asked Ye Zichen.
"It's hard to deal with."
Su Liu 'er's vermillion lips parted as she spat out those three words. To Gou Yuzhan, this was like a slap to the face.
He blurted out, "Big Sister Liu 'er, you …."
"I'm just voicing my most direct opinion. Do you have a problem with that?"
A gust of biting cold wind blew past the entrance of the hall.
In the blink of an eye, the entire palace was covered in a thin layer of ice.
Gou Yuzhan licked his lips, not daring to say a single word. His ahoge drooped like a frosted eggplant as he fiddled with his fingers.
Ye Zichen was somewhat stunned that Su Liu 'er would say it would be difficult.
Judging from her aura, she was already at the Imperial Emperor Realm. The cold aura she'd released just now had the aura of condensing an ice-type dao heart.
Given her cultivation, if she said it would be difficult to deal with, then it was a direct reflection of how terrifying an Aura-Breaking Beast was. "I'm just being conservative," said Su Liu 'er. "You might hurt General Li's heart. Even though your son risked his life to deliver the video to you through a secret technique, and even though you're proud that your son never abandoned his comrade in battle, in my eyes, there's still a possibility that you might hurt General Li's feelings.
No one expected Su Liu 'er to say something like that.
No one would've guessed Su Liu 'er would say something like that. Everyone's gazes shifted, then they heard her continue. "If he'd abandoned his pride and returned from the Outside, then having personally experienced the Aura-Breaking Beast, he'd be able to understand it more directly. Right now, all we can do is sit here and watch the short video he recorded. It's less than an hour long, and we can't even understand the beast's aura or aura.
All we can do is judge it based on its enormous size and how it devoured the other heroes. That in itself is illogical. "
"From what I understand, just because it's big doesn't mean it's strong. Even devouring the other heroes doesn't prove how difficult it is to deal with. Trying to tell us how strong our future enemy will be based on a single video isn't just careless; it's also a waste of time. "
"I really don't understand why General Li summoned us here so urgently just because of a video. What exactly are you trying to do?"
The atmosphere in the palace plummeted.
Su Liu 'er's words were like rubbing salt into General Li's wounds. His son had died in battle, and his heart was already riddled with scars. Only the fact that his son had risked his life to bring back a video and could be called a hero was enough to give him some peace of mind.
But now, Su Liu 'er was disparaging the precious video his son had risked his life to bring back.
The kind-hearted Su Yan couldn't help but tug at Su Liu 'er's clothes. General Li's arms trembled uncontrollably.
