Awe!
The entire sky above Dragon City fell silent.
Practically everyone in the Immortal Region watched coldly from the sidelines. They could even sense faint disdain in their gazes.
They were all people who'd experienced bloody battles. They'd witnessed firsthand the cruelty of war. If they'd wanted to retreat, they wouldn't have appeared here in the first place.
As for the Beast Region clansmen, who'd been scared witless before the battle had even begun, they disdained them.
Ye Zichen tossed the instigator to the ground. He just so happened to land near the walking beasts.
The corpse fell heavily to the ground, causing their expressions to freeze. Then they gulped and looked at Ye Zichen with indescribable reverence.
As for the bird clansmen who'd wanted to flee, they'd seen Ye Zichen kill one of them with lightning speed. They didn't dare utter a single word.
As for the thought of fleeing, they buried it deep in their hearts.
They wanted to run for their lives, but if they ran, they'd die at Ye Zichen's hands before the demons could even attack them.
"It seems no one wants to try?"
Ye Zichen swept his icy gaze across the clansmen. Those who'd once doubted him lowered their heads guiltily. They didn't dare look him in the eye.
"Since that's the case, all of you, keep your spirits up. If I see another deserter, don't blame me for being merciless. Of course, you're welcome to try deserting in the middle of battle ….. "
He pointed to his eyes, then at the Beast Region clansmen.
"I'll keep my eyes on you."
After intimidating them, Ye Zichen snorted coldly and returned to the heads of the four Sacred Beast clans. He bowed to Zhuge Hong, the head of the Vermillion Bird Clan. The Vermillion Bird Clan could be considered the leader of the flying clansmen. Just now, he'd killed the instigator. He had to apologize to Zhuge Hong.
"Clan Head Zhuge, please forgive us."
As he cupped his fists, you could see the blood on his hands.
"It's no problem. Even if Emperor Ye hadn't done anything, I would've done it myself." Zhuge Hong shook his head. Lei Hu laughed. "What's there to apologize for? The Beast Region doesn't need cowards. Emperor Ye did the right thing. If he hadn't done this, our army's morale would've crumbled. I just never would've guessed there really were cowards among us. "
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the walking beasts. His gaze was oppressive.
"As long as you don't blame me." Ye Zichen smiled at them, then looked deeply at Gu Li. "Not bad. You've infiltrated us quite deeply."
"Brother Ye is too kind. In terms of methods, Brother Ye is the best. His attack was ruthless and suppressed the commotion in an instant. I'm impressed. "
Gu Li wasn't too surprised by Ye Zichen's actions. Even if he didn't do it, he believed that the other patriarchs would do it.
Even if they didn't use their brains to think, they couldn't really let that group of cowards escape.
This would shake the morale of the army.
However, the effect was already there. Although the wave of provocation hadn't been completely unleashed, if Ye Zichen had moved a bit slower, the result might have been more interesting.
What a pity.
Black Dragon subconsciously glanced at Gu Li. This guy really had an endless stream of tricks up his sleeve. The instigation just now must have been planted by him in the Beast Region.
Thinking of his various actions, Black Dragon was a little worried …
Did this guy have any spies in the Devil Race?
On the way here, Gu Li had explained quite a bit, but who would dare believe someone like that?
Right now, he could only believe half of it. As for the other half, he could only take a gamble.
"Hmph."
Ye Zichen snorted coldly, then ignored him. He'd fought Gu Li many times, so he was used to this sort of thing.
He just looked at the back of the demons indifferently, secretly calculating the time in his heart.
"They should be here soon."
A few hours ago, he'd already contacted the Immortal Region, Underworld, and Heavenly Court. He'd even set up an ambush in the valley and bought them quite a bit of time.
Based on his calculations, they should be here by now.
Not far away, Gu Li noticed his expression. His eyes darted around, and he pursed his lips into a smile.
"Emperor Ye, what are you looking for?"
"Hm?" snorted Ye Zichen.
"Ha, in truth, you could've set the battlefield right where you first entered the Beast Region, but you didn't. Instead, you put us in the heart of the Beast Region and set the battlefield right outside of Dragon City. If you lose here, you'll have no chance at all. Emperor Ye is no fool. You couldn't have foreseen this outcome, yet you still let us in. There must be a deeper meaning to this, right? "
Gu Li smiled calmly, his eyes gleaming as if he'd long since seen through everything.
In the face of Gu Li's questioning, Ye Zichen replied calmly, "Of course there's a deeper meaning.
"Of course there's a deeper meaning. You had the Flying Serpent Clan betray the Beast Region and destroy the grand formation. If we set the main battlefield at the borders of the Beast Region, that would be truly foolish. As for why I let you in …. Why should I tell you? "
Ye Zichen arched his brows, then Gu Li turned around.
He looked at the endless horde of demons, as well as the blood zombies below. He cocked his head to the side, then turned back and smiled.
"Let me guess: Emperor Ye arranged for someone to surround us from behind, didn't he?"
"....."
"As for who it was? Was it someone from the Underworld, Immortal Region, or Heavenly Court?" Gu Li craned his neck and studied Ye Zichen's expression. "It seems I guessed right."
"What's there to guess? Anyone could figure it out, right?"
Ye Zichen wasn't angry that Gu Li had exposed him. Anyone could make such a simple deduction. All they'd worried about was whether or not they'd come in.
This was far too obvious. They'd worried about Gu Li and the demons, so they'd been too cautious to enter.
"You knew you'd be surrounded, yet you still came in? It seems you're quite confident? You want to challenge the entire Three Realms? "
"No, no, no, Emperor Ye must be joking. No matter how arrogant we are, we wouldn't be so arrogant as to challenge the entire Three Realms at the same time. Don't you think so? "Gu Li frantically waved his hands.
"Then you still dared come? Hah …."
Ye Zichen sneered, but before he could finish, he noticed Gu Li's faint smile and his previous answer.
If he'd thought of it, how could he possibly have come?
Since he'd come, he'd undoubtedly made thorough preparations.
"You should know me. I'm a coward. I knew I'd be surrounded, yet I still came. Given your understanding of me, tell me …. Why exactly did I do this? "
In an instant, Ye Zichen's heart froze.
"You attacked them?"
Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes into slits and asked solemnly.
Gu Li smiled faintly and nodded, then laughed casually.
