Chapter 1553: Release

When had imperial-level experts become so plentiful?

While they werent, say, as plentiful as ox hairs, there were far more than theyd imagined. Not even the likes of the Ocean Emperor, a long-established great emperor, had seen these two newly-arrived experts before.

However, what really surprised them was that when they landed beside An Lu, her tears, which shed stopped after great difficulty, started welling up again.

Are you throwing me away? An Lu rushed up to Gu Lis side, then looked at him, her eyes misty with tears. Look at me. Answer me! Are you throwing me away? I dont want to leave you. I want to be with you forever.

From beginning to end, Gu Li dared not meet her gaze. An Lu reached out and took his hand directly, only for Gu Li to forcefully break free of her grasp.

Then, he looked at Ye Zichen. Is that alright?

With these two looking after her, its true that An Lu can live out her days without fear or worry, said Ye Zichen. He looked at the two imperial-level women and sighed. It was obvious just from sensing their auras that they were on par with Pu Jingwan. But Im sorry: I refuse!

Instantly, Gu Li tensed and froze.

He wasnt the only one; even the surrounding great emperors were stunned, especially Yang Jian and the others close to Ye Zichen. All of them knew that he was the soft-hearted type. How could he say that after hearing An Lus earnest pleas? How could he say that after hearing everything Gu Lis humble request?

All of them thought hed agree. None of them expected him to refuse!

As for the surrounding demons and enemy yao, their eyes flashed with fury. The moment Gu Li surrendered, their feelings changed completely. Giving up and surrendering meant that, in their hearts, he was no longer the Emperor Star.

They remained still, not out of concern for him, but because of the Sacred Beast Clan reinforcements. Even if they fought and won, theyd suffer enormous casualties. Also, for the sake of transcendence, they had to ally themselves with one Emperor Star other. Fighting would only worsen their relationship.

Ye Zichens refusal meant he was planning to keep them all here. His refusal left no room for reconciliation, as there was no way theyd give in without a fight.

Ye Zichen! Have you thought this through? Gu Liz gaze sharped. Youre saying you want to keep us all here? Even An Lu? Look around you: our army numbers in the hundreds of millions, all of them brave warriors. You think that with this pitiful smattering of people, you can keep us here? I hadnt realized that you were such a self-righteous hypocrite. But fine: if you want a mountain of corpses, Ill stick this out to the very end.

Gu Li Big Brother Zichen An Lu stared, dazedly looking between them. She bit her lip and walked up to Ye Zichen. Big Brother Zichen, Im willing to take his place, okay? So let him go, please. Ill stay behind.

If you want to stay behind, Ill naturally welcome you with open arms, but wouldnt you rather be with Gu Li? Ye Zichen reached out and patted her on the head. If hes not with you, you definitely wont be happy, right?

Ye Zichen! Gu Li roared.

It sounded like he was planning to imprison them both.

What a large appetite! With just this handful of subordinates, he wanted to capture the pair of them!

But..

You can leave. Ye Zichen spoke. Gu Lis hideous expression froze, then faded. He stared at Ye Zichen in a daze, his eyes wide with confusion and disbelief.

You

Both of you can leave. I wont keep either of you, said Ye Zichen.

Youre letting them go? The head of the Xuanwu Clan was a brawny fellow, and when he heard Ye Zichens words, he turned to glare at him. Kid, who the hell do you think you are? Youre just a trivial little diviner, yet youre standing there giving orders. You think well let them go just because you tell us to? Wouldnt that mean our clansmen died for nothing?

Watch your mouth. The silvery edge of a lance suddenly pressed up against his neck. It belonged to Yang Jian! Let me tell you: thats Ye Zichen youre talking to.

Ill introduce myself, too. Im Yang Jian, and even if hes a diviner, hes my bro. If you dare insult him again, if you dare go against him again, Ill cut your tongue out and ferment it!

You The head of the Xuanwu Clan froze. His clansmen instantly took out their weapons, but as soon as they moved, the experts of the Upheaval Alliance locked onto them.

Lady Providence, we. These were their allies, yet now, they were facing each other with weapons drawn. Hu Bazi didnt quite know what to do, so he couldnt help but transmit a message to Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji was a fox, too.

She wasnt a nine-tailed fox like Su Qingyan. She was merely an ordinary fox with an ordinary bloodline. Shed sent her clansmen to live in nine-tailed fox territory, entrusting them to Su Qingyans care.

But now, the nine-tailed foxes had taken a heavy blow indeed.

Fox Empress Su Qingyan and Clan Head Su Wans injuries were so severe, and Xuan Ji didnt even know whether her clansmen were still alive or not.

Gu Li was the one behind it all.

Let him go? She wasnt willing!

Hurry up and leave before I change my mind. Get out of my sight, Ye Zichen turned to Gu Li and said coldly.

The demon-yao army was on the verge of retreating, but the Sacred Beast Clan experts furrowed their brows and stepped forward to stop them.

Instantly, the Upheaval Alliance, the Outsider Rulers, the Great Sage, Pu Jingwan, and Su Yiyun stepped forward to hold them back.

Go! Ye Zichen faced the pressure head-on and shouted at Gu Li.

Gu Li was moved. Ye Zichen, it seems I owe you a favor. In the future, Ill be sure to repay this benevolence.

Theres no need for that. Im just letting you go for An Lus sake. Shes going to go with you, so dont do anything to taint those eyes of hers. If you do, and I find out Next time, I wont let you off. Ye Zichen snorted. Dont corrupt those spotless eyes.

Alright. This time, when he looked at Ye Zichen, Gu Li nodded and flashed him a rare, non-mocking smile. It seems I deeply misunderstood you earlier, and that youre more interesting than I realized. If we didnt stand opposed to each other, perhaps we truly could have been brothers.

Thats not possible. After that incident in the Gu Family, back in the Modern Realm, theres no way we could have become brothers.

Perhaps! Gu Li didnt argue with him. He simply chuckled and said, Since you did so much for me, I can share a bit of information with you. Actually, the fox and Sacred Beast Clan members arent all dead. The corpses you see lying around died when we attacked the mountain, but the rest of them are hiding in a cave at the base of the mountain. You can go find the precise location yourself.

When they heard that, Xuan Ji and the Sacred Beast Clan heads arched their brows. Xuan Ji then rushed directly down to look. She knew there was a cave at the foot of the back mountain.

At the same time, Gu Li grinned. If fate wills it, lets meet again!
