Regardless, Gu Qi still has a strong sense of principle when it comes to the team!
Even if it means sacrificing some benefits, he will still choose to stand on the side of the King of Hell. Perhaps this is the bottom line and principle that they both uphold because they are both ferocious beasts.
Despite Gu Qi's compromise, Emperor Yan remained calm.
He didn't directly respond to Gu Qi's decision, but simply raised his hand and pointed to a piece of metal-like material that had suddenly appeared on the coffee table in front of him, asking, "Take a look, does it look familiar?"
"This taste..."
Gu Qi hadn't paid much attention at first, but after leaning closer to examine it, the smile on his face vanished, and his expression became unusually serious: "Where did you get this?!"
Actually, a long time ago, Gu Qi also had a companion.
As a Qiongqi, his lifespan and strength are actually no worse than Yama's. However, in some aspects, he still cannot reach the terrifying destructive power of Taotie, who can eat everything. Therefore, before Yama came to this world and changed the pattern of this small world, Qiongqi's life was quite miserable.
At that time, his strength was suppressed in various ways. Even though Qiongqi tried its best to resist and evade, it could only watch helplessly as its power was gradually lost. Even the person it had fallen for died tragically before it could form a contract with them.
Qiongqi originally thought that he would be crushed to death by the Heavenly Dao of this small world, just like many of his kind. However, in the end, his Yunqi was not bad. When he had only one breath left, he met the Yama Emperor.
The terrifying power of the Taotie is evident to all.
As the saying goes, people of the same kind have different fates. Even though Taotie is a ferocious beast, it still cannot change the fact that he is the biological son of the primordial chaos.
In less than a month since he arrived, the entire world situation has undergone a fundamental reversal!
Having lost the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, he had successfully escaped with his life.
However, what is lost can never be recovered!
However, he did not give up.
One day, he will be able to bring his nine-colored deer back to his side!
"Where did you get this thing?!" The thing in front of them was probably too old; it even looked a bit black. Moreover, with just this little clue, it was impossible to tell what the original thing looked like.
However, the lingering aura on it could not be hidden from Qiongqi, a ferocious beast.
This is clearly the same scent he smelled back in Jinling!
That was the closest he ever got to the Nine-Colored Deer after his reincarnation! He was just a hair's breadth away from finding her, but then the great disaster struck Jinling!
Because of that incident, he developed a deep-seated hatred for Japan!
Not only humans, but also the monsters over there—anyone who falls into his hands never has a good ending!
"You've been getting so close to Zhao Yunlu lately, haven't you sensed anything amiss with him?!" Yan Di sneered, his sarcasm barely concealed.
In truth, Zhao Yunlu can no longer be considered human!
No one can have such a long lifespan, and no one can be so ruthless and inhuman!
He was just a monster, a ruthless monster who knew nothing of propriety, righteousness, shame, or moral bottom line!
The reason he didn't abuse the Yin-gathering formation in those previous worlds was simply because the Chinese nation was never truly stable in those worlds.
There will always be a year or two when the harvest is bad and wars break out frequently. At that time, Zhao Yunlu only needs to use the souls of the dead refugees, which will be enough for him!
But now, China is becoming stronger and more peaceful. The days when he only needed to walk a little further through the starving corpses everywhere to make use of the land are gone forever.
Therefore, Zhao Yunlu had no choice but to take a risk and use his descendants to set up this Yin-gathering formation, which was ostensibly for the benefit of his descendants, but in reality had other purposes.
"I've never seen him before. I just sensed the presence of the Yin Gathering Array and wanted to come and take advantage of it!" Gu Qi didn't accept Yan Di's mockery.
He raised his voice to correct Yan Di's statement, somewhat dissatisfied with it.
To be honest, the Yin Gathering Formation is considered extremely Yin and evil for other living beings, and entering it means certain death. However, he is different from Yama, who are ferocious beasts. This kind of Yin and evil energy is like an excellent tonic for them.
So after he discovered its existence, he couldn't wait to come over and enjoy the comfort.
He even stepped in to protect the Yin Gathering Array when someone detected its existence. Little did anyone know, there was such a hidden history behind it all...
"Damn it! I'm going to kill him right now!" Enraged, Gu Qi abandoned his previous gentlemanly demeanor and turned to walk out the door.
He's been protecting this for so long, and this is what he's gotten in return?!
For his own benefit, he can collude with those bastards in Japan and disregard the scum of his ancestors. Even if he is a ferocious beast, he is still a beast of China. We cannot tolerate such a shameless scoundrel!
"What's your hurry!" Yan Di reached out and grabbed Gu Qi with lightning speed. "Now that the eighty evil god statues in the formation have returned to their positions, what are you trying to do over there? Are you going to be discovered by that person and fill the void left by the missing statue?!"
"You're underestimating me!" Gu Qi didn't like hearing Yan Di's words. He snorted coldly, turned around and glared at him with some resentment, saying, "Don't mention eighty evil god statues, even if there were eight hundred, I'd never have taken them to heart!"
Don't try to provoke me like that, I'm not falling for it!
"That's right, these eighty evil god statues are nothing, but don't you want to know more about their origins?!" Yan Di reached out, picked up a fragment from the table, and handed it to Gu Qi: "Take a closer look. Can you really not see anything at all?!"
"The pattern on this does look somewhat familiar. However, it's just a fragment. Even if I stare at it closely and analyze it thoroughly, to be honest, there aren't many clues!"
Gu Qi took the fragment from Yan Di and studied it carefully for a while before returning it to Yan Di with some frustration: "Just tell me directly, what exactly do you know!"
"This is a fragment of one of the statues of that evil god. The pattern on it is actually a totem, a symbol of an ancient tribe." Yan Di took the fragment, calmly putting it away, and at the same time gave Gu Qi an unexpected answer: "Have you heard of Chi You?!"
I just got back from watching "The Battle at Lake Changjin" today, and tomorrow is National Day. Wishing all my lovely friends a happy National Day!
On this special day, let us not forget that the reason our great nation of China can stand tall in the East is because of so many heroic ancestors who, one after another, fearlessly charged forward, shielding us from all dangers and safeguarding our peace.
