As soon as Ye Zichen spoke, Chi Mei knew shed have to take the blame for this.

He obviously didnt want to let Chen Jiannan go, but he still pushed that onto her? But when she thought about it, she had no love for the Xiao Family either. Although she disdained to take action against a mere sky supreme, if Ye Zichen wanted to get rid of him, she might as well lend a hand.

Thats right! she said, I still havent said you could leave.

Compared to Ye Zichen, Chi Mei was far more straightforward.

She glanced meaningfully at Elder Liu. The surrounding supremes saw the elder gently tap the air, and Chen Jiannan disappeared before their very eyes.

No one knew what had happened to him, but Elder Lius methods made the supremes hearts tremble.

Rulers sure lived up to their reputation. They really did rule over everything around them.

Not bad, not bad at all. Ye Zichen smiled in satisfaction. Chen Jiannan had tried to kill him earlier, and moreover, had killed his friends. He was the main culprit whod forced Ye Zichen into the Yao-Sealing Pagoda for three full years, too.

Ye Zichen would have to lose his wits to let someone like that go.

Hey hey, I did well, right? Shouldnt you give me some encouragement, sweetie? She gleefully stuck her hands behind her back and batted her eyes coquettishly.

Dont make a fuss! said Ye Zichen helplessly. What kind of encouragement could I even give you?

What are you talking about! The Xuan-Yuan Sword and Yao-Sealing Pagoda are both top-class divine artifacts. If you gave me either one, Id be so happy, Id burst into tears! Chi Meis eyes narrowed into slits as she scanned the pagoda up and down.

She wants the Yao-Sealing Pagoda too? Ye Zichen couldnt help but murmur to himself.

No, that shouldnt be the case!

If she really wanted the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, she could have taken it three years ago, but she didnt. There was no need for her to wait this long.

Or was it just that, at the time, she didnt think she was strong enough to take it? But now she had a ruler

Haha, look at your face! I really scared you, huh? I was just joking! When Chi Mei saw Ye Zichen standing there in silence, she reached out and grabbed him by the arm. Whats yours is mine, and whats mine is yours. It doesnt matter which of us has the treasure, does it, sweetie?

When he saw how intimate Chi Mei was being with Ye Zichen, Elder Liu frowned. Miss, we should be on our way. If we delay any longer, Xiao Hu might escape the Outside. When I attacked him, I sensed his strength; he might already be a ruler.

Then you can hurry up and go after him. Its not like I cant go back on my own, said Chi Mei.

Miss! Elder Lius tone darkened.

Ye Zichen was fully aware of the real reason the old man had spoken up. He didnt want Chi Mei to cling to him either, so he decided to help out. Go on back with Elder Liu. I can take care of these guys myself.

Are you in such a rush to get rid of me? She wrinkled her nose and snorted at him, then inexplicable swiped at the mountain range sealing Denglong.

One of Denglongs souls appeared in her palm, and at the same time, she tossed Ye Zichen a pearl. Here, take back your Yiyuan Soul Pearl. Ive got a use for Denglongs soul, so Ill take it with me.

With that, she walked up to Elder Liu. The crowd saw nothing but a flash of fluorescent light as they disappeared from the wastes, taking all the yao with them.

Once Chi Mei was gone, Ye Zichen sighed in relief. He thought himself rather experienced with women, but Chi Mei was the toughest opponent hed encountered yet. When she was around, he felt like one little slip-up meant falling into her trap.

He clenched the Yiyuan Soul Pearl. He feared that sealing Denglongs soul had exhausted far too much of its soul power.

Ye Zichen tried to make contact with Tenner, but got no response. For a divine artifact like this, all it needed to recover was time, so he simply placed the pearl into the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. If Xuan-Yuan Xiang left seclusion and saw it, she might even know a shortcut to speed the pearls recovery.

As for you guys His gaze fell on the human supremes, who hadnt left yet. In truth, they wanted to leave a long time ago, but after what happened to Chen Jiannan, they just stood there in a daze.

Although the ruler had already left, Ye Zichen still had the Yao-Sealing Pagodas army. They still couldnt afford to offend him, so they responded as soon as Ye Zichen spoke. Please, go on, your Excellency.

You neednt be so nervous. Ye Zichen gestured for them to relax, then said, Youve already bought back your lives, and youve been straight with me, so I wont harm you. Its just, before you leave, theres something I must warn you about.

When he saw he had their full attention, Ye Zichen continued, When you get back, please keep your lips sealed. I dont want you to spread any news of what happened here, especially about the Xuan-Yuan Sword or the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.

Your Excellency, all three realms already know about the Xuan-Yuan Sword. As for the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, even if we keep quiet, when those two diviners get back.

I just need you to keep quiet, said Ye Zichen in a low voice.

Understood. Well be sure to keep our mouths shut. Quite a few sky supremes went so far to swear by their inner demons. The others thought it over, then followed suit.

When they finished, Ye Zichen nodded indifferently at them. Go on, then.

The supremes reacted as if theyd received a divine pardon. They each cupped their fists in farewell and disappeared from the wastes.

The supreme from the Sea of Innocence, who Ye Zichen had called to his side, cupped his hand as well. Brother Ye, our Sea of Innocence will remember this kindness forever.

Its nothing. You helped me before, so Im simply returning the favor. Ye Zichen smiled at him, then said, Theres something Id like to ask you about. Is the Wish God at the Sea of Innocence?

Brother Ye, you know the Wish God?

Were old acquaintances, I suppose. How has he been lately?

Hes doing well, as always.

With that, Ye Zichen lost interest in chatting, and the sky supreme didnt have anything else to say either. He nodded at Ye Zichen. Brother Ye, if you have time, please pay our Sea of Innocence a visit and enjoy our hospitality. Farewell!

Farewell!!

When the representative of the Sea of Innocence, the supreme from the Four Directions Palace soon followed suit. Brother Ye, Ill be on my way too, then.

Mmhm. Ye Zichen nodded at him, then added, If you get the chance, please greet Cui Twelve on my behalf. Tell him that if he has spare time, Id like to invite him out for a drink. Also, if you see Liu Qing, tell her Ive ascended to the God Realm.

I didnt realize you were friends with the Twelfth and Seventeenth Highnesses. Alright, when I get back, if I get the chance to stand before their highnesses, Ill be sure to share your message. The supreme smiled. Ye Zichen met his gaze with his earlier indifference.

The supreme cupped his fist one last time. This kindness is too great for mere words of gratitude. Farewell!
