Sowing Discord
The sudden disappearance of the Three Realms' forces caught both Gu Li and the demons by surprise. Now that their targets had disappeared, the blood zombies' mouths gaped open, sticky saliva dripping from them. They stared blankly at their surroundings. The bare-chested warriors of the Devil Race also looked around in puzzlement.
"It seems these people aren't fated to die yet."
Gu Li snorted sinisterly to himself, then smirked and snorted as he watched the Three Realms' forces vanish.
Black Dragon instinctively nodded, but before long, his nerves tensed and he took a few steps back.
Their previous alliance was built on the basis of their common enemy, the Three Realms.
Now that their enemy was gone, they were facing a direct conflict of interest over who should claim the land outside the Immortal Region.
"Your Excellency Black Dragon, what are you doing?" Sensing Black Dragon's change in aura, Gu Li shrugged. "We're allies, after all. Why are you so guarded against me?"
"Hah ….." Black Dragon laughed coldly.
"Fine, I know what you're worried about," said Gu Li with a smile and a shrug. "Your Excellency Black Dragon, you've led your entire race to invade the Three Realms, so I'm sure you need this land even more than I do. I don't want the Immortal Region, so I'll take my troops with me and leave this place to you. "
Despite Gu Li's words, Black Dragon didn't relax his guard in the slightest.
"Fine, I'll leave now," said Gu Li. Sensing Black Dragon's tension, he glanced at Jiangchen without hesitation.
The blood zombies gradually retreated from the battlefield. Before long, only a few blood zombies could be seen outside the Immortal Region. The rest were demons.
"See, Your Excellency Black Dragon? This is my sincerity in cooperating with you."
Gu Li pursed his lips and chuckled, then glanced at Black Dragon's solemn expression.
"It seems shaking hands won't be possible, so I'll take my leave. However, it's best if we maintain our alliance. No matter what, as long as Ye Zichen isn't dead, our war with them won't be over. I doubt you'll be satisfied with just a small piece of land. Although the Immortal Region is vast and fertile, it'll be hard enough to feed your entire demon race. "
"You don't need to worry about that," snorted Black Dragon.
"I'm definitely not worrying. I'm just reminding you out of goodwill." Gu Li narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I won't disturb your rest any longer. In a few days, I'll come to Maple City to find you. When that time comes, we can discuss the details of our attack. What do you say?"
At this moment, Black Dragon deliberately spread out his spiritual sense, enveloping the entire Celestial Realm within it.
She actually didn't play any tricks with him.
"You really made your people retreat? You're the only one here now, and the entire Immortal Domain is filled with my devil race's people. Aren't you worried that I'll make you stay here forever? "
"Afraid? How can I not be afraid?" Gu Li put on a timid expression. "Black Dragon, there's no way you don't know how afraid I am of death. But since it was a collaboration, they naturally had to show their sincerity. I've already said it before, this is my sincerity for cooperation. What's more, Lord Black Dragon is an ambitious and ruthless character of his generation. It's impossible for him to get rid of me now, right? "
"Hmph." The Black Dragon snorted. "You can leave."
"Your Excellency, you still haven't given me an answer," said Gu Li.
Black Dragon naturally understood that he was referring to Gu Li's earlier discussion about the details of their attack. Just now, Gu Li had rescued everyone from the Three Realms. Black Dragon had no choice but to reevaluate the Three Realms' power.
With an expert like that overseeing the Three Realms, he couldn't afford to not cooperate with Gu Li.
"Alright, when the time comes, you can come see me."
"Then let's have a happy collaboration." Gu Li pursed his lips, then laughed softly. "But before I leave, there's something I'd like to remind you of."
"What is it?"
"Su Yiyun is the Literati Star, while Ye Zichen …. is the Emperor Star."
Hei Long's body involuntarily stiffened. Soon after, he snorted.
"Didn't you say you were the Emperor Star and that you wanted to extend Brother Su's life? You tried to recruit my people right in front of my face. I haven't even settled that debt with you, and now you dare sow discord? "
"I'm not trying to sow discord." Gu Li narrowed his eyes and laughed. "I am indeed the one who illuminated the Emperor Star, the future Lord of Heaven and Earth. However, haven't you heard that the heavens chose two emperors? If you haven't, you can go back and read your demon race's records. Perhaps you'll discover something."
"That's enough. Hurry up and get out of my sight. If you don't want to stay here forever."
"Fine, fine, I'll go." Sensing Black Dragon's fury, Gu Li said no more. "But you should still take my words seriously. The Literati Star is one of the Emperor Star's four Auxiliary Stars. His mission is to assist the Emperor Star in ascending to the throne. This cannot be disobeyed. Besides, Su Yiyun and Ye Zichen were sworn friends back in the Modern Realm. If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Min 'e. Previously, he rejected my invitation … Then … I'll let Lord Black Dragon ponder over the problem himself. "
"Scram."
"Fine, fine, I'll scram. But, Black Dragon …."
"Scram!"
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the black dragon released all of its pressure. Sensing the pressure, Gu Li pursed his lips, nodded, and disappeared.
After a while, Black Dragon's chest heaved violently. At that moment, Li Min 'e pushed Su Yiyun over.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yiyun seemed to have returned to normal. He was no longer sweating. However, everyone knew that this was merely a sign that his time was up.
As he looked at Su Yiyun, Gu Li's words echoed through Black Dragon's mind.
He was naturally paranoid, but he really didn't want to suspect Su Yiyun.
It was Su Yiyun who'd restored Black Dragon's ambitions. It was Su Yiyun who'd found a new home for the demons. It was also Su Yiyun who'd given them the strength to fight the Immortal Region.
It could be said that in the past year, the demons had ….
Su Yiyun had given it to them.
But Gu Li had just said that Su Yiyun might be one of Ye Zichen's men. He didn't understand. If it really was as Gu Li said, why did Su Yiyun keep pretending?
Given Su Yiyun's abilities and Ye Zichen's resources, wouldn't dealing with the demons be a piece of cake?
Black Dragon was confused. He didn't want to believe it.
"It's nothing. Whenever I see that bastard, I can't help but get angry. Once we take the Three Realms, I'll definitely teach him a lesson. "
He wasn't telling the truth.
His paranoia made it impossible for him to tell the truth.
"You mustn't get too close to Gu Li. Don't forget how he treated you and the demons back then."
With that, Su Yiyun had Li Min 'e push him away. However, the instant he turned around, he sighed inexplicably.
