Chapter 2120: You Knew I Was Here?

Apart from Gongyang Lie, who was not surprised, the other Heavenly Sovereigns all narrowed their eyes, clearly startled by what had just happened.

A True God mastering Dao patterns—such a thing had never been heard of.

Ye Yuan had actually used Dao patterns to break free from Zixu Heavenly Sovereign's confinement; it was utterly inconceivable.

But soon, they all shook their heads and sighed.

This Ye Yuan was truly courting death!

Even if he had mastered Dao patterns, the power of the two was simply not on the same level.

Ye Yuan's eyes were icy cold as he said, "What's mine is mine! If you want to take the Emperor Bone away, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Obtaining the Emperor Bone had cost Ye Yuan immense hardship.

Having gained the recognition of the Emperor Bone, Ye Yuan was its master, and he would never allow anyone to take it away.

Even if the Emperor Bone were taken by the Qilin Clan, they could never gain its recognition.

"Heh, do you think that with the Dragon Clan's protection, I truly dare not kill you?"

Zixu Heavenly Sovereign's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.

This brat simply had no sense.

He turned to Long Zhi and said in a deep voice, "Long Zhi, I have already given face to your Dragon Clan! If you dare obstruct me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Long Xiaochun was about to speak, but Long Zhi, not giving her a chance, directly restrained her.

"Let me go! Uncle Zhi, if you don't let go, I'll cry!" Long Xiaochun screamed.

Long Zhi lightly tapped his finger, and Long Xiaochun rolled her eyes and fainted.

Long Zhi held the unconscious Long Xiaochun and said calmly, "Rest assured, Lord Zixu, Long Zhi will no longer obstruct."

As a fellow Heavenly Sovereign, Long Zhi understood well that the dignity of a Heavenly Sovereign could not be violated.

Today, for Long Xiaochun's sake, Zixu Heavenly Sovereign had already set aside his dignity and not bothered to argue with him.

But if he pushed further, no one could bear the wrath of a Heavenly Sovereign.

The term 'divine war' could indeed threaten Zixu Heavenly Sovereign, but it could not make a Heavenly Sovereign yield indefinitely.

To prevent Long Xiaochun from causing trouble, Long Zhi had no choice but to knock her out.

Indeed, starting a divine war for a True God was not worth it!

Although Long Zhi was also curious about Ye Yuan, that curiosity was not enough for him to protect Ye Yuan to the death.

Zixu Heavenly Sovereign nodded slightly, turned to Ye Yuan, and sneered, "There is a road to heaven, but you refuse to walk it; the gates of hell are open, yet you insist on barging in! Now, no one in heaven or earth can save you!"

"Who says no one can save him?"

Just as Zixu Heavenly Sovereign's aura surged skyward, a man in blue robes, hands clasped behind his back, slowly stepped out from the void and stood before Ye Yuan.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard, his complexion ruddy like Guan Gong's.

The bearded middle-aged man appeared very ordinary, like a mortal, but Zixu Heavenly Sovereign's expression was unprecedentedly grave.

Seeing the blue-robed middle-aged man, Zixu Heavenly Sovereign looked as if he faced a great enemy and said in a deep voice, "Who are you, sir? Do you also intend to meddle in the affairs of my Qilin Clan?"

With his strength, he could not see through the blue-robed man's depth.

Ye Yuan looked at the blue-robed man's back and said coldly, "You've finally come out!"

The blue-robed man ignored Zixu Heavenly Sovereign and turned to Ye Yuan in surprise, "You knew I was here?"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No, but I could sense someone watching this place!"

The blue-robed man was momentarily stunned, then nodded, "No wonder the Master appointed you as the Sub-Saint. The title of Sub-Saint is well deserved."

At these words, everyone was in an uproar.

The several Heavenly Sovereigns narrowed their eyes, their expressions filled with shock.

Who had appointed Ye Yuan as the Sub-Saint?

The Saint Ancestor High Priest!

This blue-robed man actually called the Saint Ancestor High Priest his master, so his identity was all but revealed!

The Saint Ancestor High Priest's eleven disciples were each earth-shattering figures.

The weakest, High Priest Hongling, was a peerless expert at the late Heavenly Sovereign stage.

The man before them was clearly not High Priest Hongling, otherwise Gongyang Lie would not have been completely unresponsive.

So who was this person?

Even Ye Yuan's cold eyes narrowed slightly.

He had long sensed someone spying on this place, and this aura felt very familiar to him.

That was why he had fought desperately to reclaim the Emperor Bone.

Handing the Emperor Bone over to others was not Ye Yuan's style.

But he had not expected the Saint Ancestor High Priest to send his own disciple in person!

The whole incident had started with Qi Zhen, and now, after many twists and turns, several Heavenly Sovereigns had appeared.

In the end, it had even alarmed the Saint Ancestor High Priest!

Gongyang Lie had never seen the blue-robed man before, but his level was different, and he had heard of him.

From the clues, he deduced the blue-robed man's identity and quickly bowed in salute, saying, "Could you be... Lord Yuchen?"

The blue-robed man looked at him and said calmly, "Indeed, it is I."

"It's actually Lord Yuchen! He is the Saint Ancestor High Priest's seventh disciple, even higher in status than High Priest Hongling!"

"Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! I never thought I would one day see Lord Yuchen in person!"

"It seems we have all underestimated the Saint Ancestor High Priest's resolve!"

...

All the demon clan experts in the city looked devoutly at Lord Yuchen above the void.

The Saint Ancestor High Priest was the supreme existence, and his disciples were also deeply revered by the demon clan experts.

Their lineage had created countless experts for the demon clan and enabled the demon clan to stand tall in the Tongtian Realm.

This blue-robed man was Ji Mo, who was by the Saint Ancestor High Priest's side, also known as Lord Yuchen.

But very few knew the name Ji Mo.

Gongyang Lie, his face full of shock, slowly knelt and said, "Your old servant Gongyang Lie pays respects to Lord Yuchen!"

Ji Mo snorted coldly and directly pointed a finger.

Boom!

Gongyang Lie's body flew backward, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

But he quickly scrambled up and knelt again.

Ji Mo said calmly, "I will strip you of ten thousand years of cultivation and confine you for five thousand years. Go!"

Gongyang Lie's face was pale, and he bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Lord Yuchen, for sparing my life!"

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

He had thought that the Sub-Saint was merely a casual appointment by the Saint Ancestor High Priest, and that a mere True God was nothing.

But he had greatly underestimated Ye Yuan's position in the Saint Ancestor High Priest's heart!

Lord Yuchen's arrival this time was definitely not on his own behalf, but on behalf of the Saint Ancestor High Priest!

Sending Lord Yuchen was no ordinary matter.

It was almost equivalent to the Saint Ancestor High Priest himself coming!

Everyone's eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief at this scene.

Both were Heavenly Sovereigns, yet Gongyang Lie was like an ant before Lord Yuchen!

He had his cultivation stripped and was confined, yet he still had to thank the lord for his grace!

But everyone understood that Lord Yuchen's fury was because Gongyang Lie had offended Ye Yuan.

With the Qilin Clan's army pressing down, Gongyang Lie not only failed to protect the Sub-Saint but had even actively handed him over, committing a grave crime.
