Above all spirits

Chapter 386 Price

Although Gu Yun's words were provoking him, they were true. Ye Changfeng was not arrogant enough to be able to confront an emperor, let alone an emperor who had recently risen to fame.

Ignoring Ye Changfeng's anger, Gu Yun continued speaking.

"As for the Yang family?"

"Young Master Ye has misunderstood."

“I have long regarded the Yang family as my enemy. From the moment they attacked me, they have been on the opposite side.”

"I just can't find a reason. I have an agreement with the Temple of War that I cannot take action without a cause."

"how?"

"I understand."

"If I insist on intervening, do you still intend to attack the Demon Realm?"

"I would love to hear that! I've been looking for an opportunity, so I'd love to make sure the Yang family takes the lead. I'll give them a surprise."

Gu Yun's blood-red pupils began to exude a bloody scent, an oppressive aura inherent from someone who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The slight curve of his lips resembled a devil's wicked smile.

This made a prodigy with imperial ambitions, who should have been invincible, feel somewhat terrified at this moment.

Ye Changfeng had considered attacking Gu Yun more than once, but each time the thought arose, a chilling sense of vigilance would instantly envelop his entire body, and a voice in his heart would tell him that if he attacked, he would definitely die.

The reason why Gu Yun hasn't made a move against me yet is probably because of the agreement he mentioned.

He won't deliberately cause trouble.

But if he were to use his power to threaten Gu Yun again, Gu Yun would probably no longer care about this restriction.

Although Xue Qingwu appeared indifferent on the surface, her heart was like a taut string. She couldn't let Ye Changfeng die here, but she couldn't stop Gu Yun either. Even if she gathered all the pseudo-innate experts from Bingyun Palace here now, she probably still couldn't stop him.

She could only pray that Gu Yun wouldn't make a move.

Xue Qingwu somewhat mocked her current hesitation. For the sake of Bingyun Palace, her sharp edges had been almost smoothed out during this period. If it weren't for this responsibility, she would never have frowned if Gu Yun wanted to kill Ye Changfeng.

In the end, he spoke up and pleaded with the two who were confronting each other.

"Both of you are distinguished guests. Could you please stop here for the sake of Ice Cloud Palace?"

Xue Qingwu didn't say anything about it being for her sake.

She knew she wasn't qualified.

Xue Qingwu's persuasion undoubtedly gave Ye Changfeng a way out.

Follow this step.

Ye Changfeng left hastily after uttering a single sentence; staying here would only make him feel stifled.

Gu Yun did not stop them.

"Qingwu, I advise you to think carefully about the future of Bingyun Palace. Our alliance will only bring benefits and no harm. The Heavenly Demon is not of our race, and his heart is unpredictable. You should be careful."

Outside the Ice Cloud Palace.

As Ye Changfeng flew into the void, he glared fiercely back at a certain spot in the Ice Cloud Palace and gritted his teeth.

"Damn Heavenly Demon, you just wait, you're only relying on your high position."

"In the end, you're just a larger whetstone. Once I reach the pseudo-innate realm, it will be your death day."

"And you, Xue Qingwu, I hope you won't be ungrateful."

...

"Brother, are we just going to let him go like this?"

Xiao Li looked at Gu Yun with some surprise. In her memory, Gu Yun seemed to have long since turned this kind of person to dust.

Gu Yun glanced at him.

"It's all because of you guys. If you were more capable, I wouldn't have let him go out standing up."

“If we kill him, the Xiaoyao Sect and the Yang Clan will definitely attack the Demon Realm. We can’t do it now.”

"Don't worry, it won't amount to anything."

"Back then, even if he became the emperor of the lower realm, he would still be nothing more than a tiny ant in my eyes."

Xiao Li quickly seized the opportunity to flatter him.

"Brother, you're awesome!"

"But you used to disdain talking so much, brother, and seemed too lazy to bother with many things."

"Is it."

Gu Yun himself was unaware of this, perhaps because he was too close to the situation to notice.

"Well, I should say that you've been a bit different since your sister-in-law came.

"that..."

Seeing the two chatting away on their own, Xue Qingwu interrupted them somewhat presumptuously.

"Is the information Your Majesty just mentioned true?"

"Do you really have information about the Supreme Yang Emperor's will?"

Although Ye Changfeng repeatedly discouraged her, even Xue Qingwu herself found it hard to believe. But it was her only chance. As long as she could achieve pseudo-innate status and become an emperor through the help of the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will, then all the problems would cease to exist.

Gu Yun glanced at Xue Qingwu with some annoyance.

Even if she has a stunningly beautiful appearance.

So what?

If it were anyone around me, no matter how outrageous the idea, I would believe it without hesitation.

Therefore, Gu Yun only felt annoyed by Xue Qingwu's confusion.

"Xiao Li."

Xiao Li responded by unleashing the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will, and a ball of supreme Yang fire instantly emerged from his fingertips, as scorching as the radiance of the Yang Star, illuminating everything around him in an instant. Even the various decorative surfaces forged from millennia-old ice began to glisten with water droplets.

The flames were bright and pure, seemingly capable of burning away all obstacles and doubts.

Xue Qingwu stared blankly at the warmth on Xiao Li's fingertips, her pupils dilating uncontrollably, her body trembling slightly, and her hands tightly gripping her clothes.

She then unconsciously closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt that real power, which dissipated some of the deep-seated chill she had felt for so long.

Without a doubt, this unassuming person in front of us is actually the one who embodies the power of the Supreme Yang Emperor.

She had made some guesses before, but she dismissed them with her own words.

"It really is..."

Xue Qingwu opened her beautiful eyes again, which were slightly pale blue from years of practicing ice-based techniques.

Xiao Li extinguished the flames and said.

"Palace Mistress Xue, please keep my possession of the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will a secret."

Xiao Li knew where his Extreme Yang Emperor Intent came from, and he also knew that if it were exposed and the Titans found out, they would definitely focus their anger on him, which would put a lot of pressure on him and would not be conducive to his growth.

As for why Gu Yun directly exposed the matter of the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will to Ye Changfeng, Xiao Li didn't know, but it was an inevitable result.

As long as I help Xue Qingwu enter the Innate Realm, the outside world can almost certainly conclude that it is the effect of the extreme Yang power.

Although Yang Stones can achieve a similar effect, it is ultimately a poor solution, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Moreover, Yang Stones are now extremely rare in the entire lower realm, otherwise Xue Qingwu would have already broken through.

Although Xue Qingwu did not understand the reason, she nodded in agreement. In her opinion, it was because Xiao Li's strength was weak and he would probably be targeted if his strength were exposed.

"So."

"Lord Xiao Li, what do I need to give in return?"

"Is it to help you resolve the hidden dangers of the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will?"

Xue Qingwu tentatively said.

She met Xiao Li's gaze with a pitiful look in her eyes, trying to increase Xiao Li's favor towards her in this way.

However, compared to the naturally charming Ye Ying'er, Xue Qingwu's demeanor was too awkward, after all, this was the first time she had asked someone for help in this way.
