Chapter 2308: Devil Palace?! (1/2)
“I’ve never heard of the Patriarch having a friend called Di Huai.” The experts stared at Di Huai coldly. “Isn’t it a little too coincidental for you to come now?”
Di Huai’s expression sank, and he growled, “What do you mean by this?”
The expert from the Emperor Yu Holy Grounds was one of the Hall Masters in their Holy Gate. and he was called Li Libo. A look of mockery appeared on his face as he continued, “What do you think I meant? Stop pretending. Aren’t you spies from the Devil Palace sent here to mess with us?! Our Patriarch was injured by the b*stards from your Devil Palace. Stop wasting my time here!”
Spies from the Devil Palace?
“What?! Emperor Yu is injured?” Di Huai frowned.
Li Libo sneered, “Pretty good acting. How can you be unaware of Emperor Yu’s injuries as his friends? We have caught tons of spies from the Devil Palace these few days. Since you’re all suspicious, take a trip back with me.”
Too bad Di Huai wasn’t planning to deal with any of their b*llshit. Reaching out with a single hand, he pulled Li Libo towards him. As a First Tribulation half-True Saint, no matter how strong he was, he wasn’t able to put up the slightest resistance when facing a True Saint.
The experts around them couldn’t help but suck in a deep breath.
“Release Hall Master Li at once!”
Someone in the crowd raged.
Li Libo was enraged, but he was surprised at the same time. Fire spewed out from his eyes as he screamed, “You better release me! Or else….”
“What? Do you really think that you can do anything to me?” Di Huai looked into Li Libo’s eyes, and caused the man’s heart to tremble in fear.
“Take me to Emperor Yu now!”
“In your dreams!”
“What did you just say?!” Di Huai was finally unable to endure the disgusting treatment he was getting, and he shot towards the holy ground with Li Libo in his grasp.
Huang Xiaolong and the others didn’t dare to dilly dally. They followed behind Di Huai as everyone entered the Emperor Yu Holy Grounds surrounded by layers upon layers of guards.
Huang Xiaolong stared at Li Libo whose neck was held firmly in Di Huai’s palm before turning to look at the scores of experts beside them. He couldn’t help but laugh.
Who would have thought that they would run into trouble while visiting a friend?
Soon, Di Huai’s party entered the holy ground, and they flew towards the headquarters of the Emperor Yu Holy Gate. However, before they could arrive, a large group of experts emerged from the headquarters and stopped them.
An Eminent Elder of the Emperor Yu Holy Gate stepped forward and spoke to the ‘intruders.’
“What is your identity in the Devil Palace?!” The Eminent Elder stared at Di Huai coldly and snorted, “You better release the member of our Holy Gate now!”
Di Huai’s frown became deeper, and he growled, “Are you a new Eminent Elder from the Emperor Yu Holy Gate?”
The Eminent Elder, who had come to ‘welcome’ the party, had indeed newly ascended. After all, a Eminent Elder who had held the post for a long time should know his identity.
Like Di Huai had expected, the person who had stopped them had ascended to the position of a Eminent Elder a billion years ago!
Hearing Di Huai’s question, the Eminent Elder waved his arm and ordered the experts from the Emperor Yu Holy Gate to surround the group.
Right before he could order them to attack, Di Huai grabbed the space before him and dragged the Eminent Elder towards himself.
“What?!”
Everyone stared at Di Huai as though he was a monster.
