Mo Chen lay on the ground with a furrowed brow, his face full of anger. Even though he was just an ordinary guard captain of the demon race, he had never been oppressed like this!
Not only did Mo Chen feel uncomfortable, but the fat man was also in a bad mood. He knelt there like a ball, but fortunately, the fat man was flexible and simply lay down on the ground.
Yan Muxue gritted her teeth in resentment, but was powerless to resist. "Damn it..."
Just as the three of them were flushed with anger, Gu Liyan said, "Xue'er, get up."
As soon as Gu Liyan finished speaking, Yan Muxue felt relaxed all over and stood up.
"Mo Chen, Fatty, you two get up too," Gu Liyan said.
Mo Chen and the fat man both felt their bodies lighten and stood up to go to Gu Liyan's side.
The fat man sized up Gu Liyan, who seemed completely unaffected, his eyes darting around as if he were plotting something.
Yan Muxue ran over anxiously and took Gu Liyan's hand, finally relieving herself from the pressure she had just felt.
Gu Liyan patted Yan Muxue's hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."
The roc that had come from the sky had landed in front of everyone. A man wearing a black cloak engraved with dragons and a black gold mask jumped down from the roc.
Looking at the man's figure, Gu Liyan felt a sense of familiarity...
The man was followed closely by skeleton soldiers in black armor, who went straight up to Gu Liyan.
"One person for the third class, two people for the second class, it seems there are many experts here today!" The man's voice was deafening, as if it were right next to a loudspeaker.
The fat man in the third class lowered his head, not daring to speak, looking like a child who had done something wrong. Yan Muxue and Mo Chen, in the second class, stood obediently to the side, doing the same.
The man smiled as he looked at the three of them without saying a word, then looked at Gu Liyan and said calmly, "You've come!"
Gu Liyan was taken aback: What does that mean? Could it be that he knows me?
Seeing Gu Liyan looking at him blankly, the man smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Your elder brother?!"
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan himself looked puzzled. "You, you're not mistaken, are you? You're waiting for me?"
The Nine Netherworld Emperor smiled slightly and spoke gently, "So much time has passed, do you still blame your elder brother for his mistakes back then?"
"What? I don't..."
Before Gu Liyan could speak, the Nine Netherworld Emperor directly said, "There are too many people and too many eyes here. Let's take you and your friend back to rest for a while, and we'll talk about it when we get back!"
After saying that, the Nine Netherworld Emperor raised his hand and tore through space with his bare hands, then said to Gu Liyan, "Let's go."
Gu Liyan frowned, glanced at the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor, hesitated for a moment, and then went inside. Before going in, he said to Mo Chen and the others, "You guys stay here, I'll be fine on my own."
Before anyone could speak, Gu Liyan stepped into the space.
Yan Muxue stomped her feet in anger, "This guy, he clearly said he would protect me, but he actually left me all alone! No way! I'm going too!" Yan Muxue followed without hesitation.
“Protecting the adults is my duty, I’ll go too!” Mo Chen followed closely behind.
When the Nine Netherworld Emperor saw Yan Muxue and Mo Chen follow, he smiled without saying a word, then turned to look at the fat man, who immediately shuddered.
The fat man, who had intended to slip away, gave an awkward laugh and said, "I... I'll go..."
Having said that, he followed closely behind.
The Nine Netherworld Emperor smiled slightly, turned to a skeleton soldier beside him, and said, "Issue the Nine Netherworld Order: In one hour, all those above the fifth rank must come to the Nine Netherworld Palace to participate in the meeting. Those who do not come—annihilate them!"
After saying that, he stepped into the space.
...Through that torn space, Gu Liyan guessed that this method was almost identical to his own chaotic power.
The place Gu Liyan arrived at was a main hall, like a conference hall, with a stepped layout that seemed to be intentionally divided into different levels.
Gu Liyan spotted Mingyou sitting in the second row at a glance. She walked over with a surprised expression and said with a smile, "Mingyou! What a coincidence! We meet again!"
Mingyou glanced at Gu Liyan, rolled her eyes without saying anything, and then turned her head away, looking somewhere else.
Gu Liyan looked at him blankly, wondering if she had offended this guy.
Gu Liyan looked at the man in black next to Mingyou and asked, "Hello, may I ask where this is...?"
The man in black beside Ming raised his eyes, glanced coldly at Gu Liyan, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then closed his eyes to rest, showing no interest in listening to Gu Liyan's words.
Gu Liyan looked at the two of them awkwardly. She noticed a group of people sitting some distance away, and the man standing out from the crowd in the row with Tong Mingyou seemed somewhat familiar. Just as she was about to go up and ask where they were, she saw Yan Muxue and the others also enter the space.
"Wow! This place is so big!" Yan Muxue looked around and exclaimed with delight.
Behind Yan Muxue, Mo Chen and the fat man also came out one after another.
Gu Liyan stared at them as they entered, her eyes widening. "Why did you all follow me? Didn't I tell you not to come?"
Gu Liyan vaguely guessed that the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor had some grudge against him, so he didn't want Yan Muxue and the others to get involved. Who knew they would still come with him?
Yan Muxue said irritably, "That Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor has such a powerful aura, of course we're worried that you'll be bullied by him!"
Mo Chen nodded solemnly, "I will protect you, sir!"
The fat man asked with a bitter face, "Is it too late to leave now?"
Gu Liyan was both amused and exasperated. Worrying was a good thing, but even if they came, if the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor wanted to be ruthless towards him, they would just be offering themselves up for death and wouldn't be able to help him at all!
