The spaceship landed on a low hill, and Gu Ping immediately spotted Jiang Anbo and the others who had been waiting there. Night Emperor was not far behind, arriving just before Gu Ping.
"Junior Brother, I've finally caught up with you. Now I can rest easy," Jiang Anbo exclaimed.
Among those closest to Gu Ping, aside from Han Yu and Ye Youluo, was Wen Shiren. Although they had only been apart for less than five months, it felt like an eternity. After hearing from Jiang Anbo and Han Yu about Gu Ping's intention to join the Light Path, he felt an even stronger sense of familiarity.
"Hey?" Jiang Anbo shouted as he noticed Ye You peering around curiously after disembarking from the Dong Lai spaceship. "Look at this kid! Just a few days apart and he's already looking for someone else! What am I supposed to tell my junior sister Han Yu?"
"Huh?"
At Jiang Anbo's words, everyone's gaze turned toward Ye You. The first impression was unanimous: she was an extraordinary beauty. Although she had delicate features, there was an aura about her that hinted at something celestial. According to old superstitions, it seemed like she might be the reincarnation of an emperor.
Jiang Anbo and Night Emperor exchanged glances, finding her face somewhat familiar but unable to recall where they had seen it before.
Then, as realization struck them, they froze in place and exclaimed in unison, "Ye Youluo!"
"Ye Youluo?"
Han Yu and Wen Shiren were taken aback by their reaction, feeling a chill run down their spines. It seemed unbelievable; surely it couldn't be Ye Youluo. Perhaps she just looked like her? After all, how could Ye Youluo be wandering around? And why would two people be so frightened by her?
"Ye Youluo is dead. I am Ye You."
The cold voice reached their ears, causing them to breathe a sigh of relief. But then they reconsidered; there was something unsettling about that statement. If Ye Youluo was indeed dead and this person was now called Ye You, did that mean she had simply changed her name?
Seeing that Ye You had no intention of moving against them, and with Gu Ping's presence, they managed to keep their composure without acting out. They were even prepared to take out their own weapons and fight Ye You if necessary.
Let me introduce Yi Dong, the one from the No Sunfire Sect, Jiang Anbo; from the Eternal Night Sect, the Night Emperor; and from the Yaoguang Sect, Han Yu. The academy—well, not bad, but...
Cough, cough, Wen Shiren from the Sunfire Sect.
That person should now be called Ye You instead of Ye Youluo, who appeared relaxed and carefree. And then there was the Master of the Academy, Yin Tianheng, the Ancestor.
After introducing everyone’s backgrounds, a few of them walked over to the stone table in the courtyard. Han Yu glanced at Ye Youluo, who was not as lively as them and busied himself with making tea.
As a pot of tea was brewed, the entire situation was gradually unraveled by the group. Ye You gently stroked the little fox in his arms and revealed a smile that left everyone puzzled when he heard Gu Ping's initial summary.
In a world as tumultuous as theirs, the Primordial Dao would surely become fish on a chopping board. The Nine Nether Invasion was perhaps an opportunity for Bu Luo—what did he mean by asking why I was smiling? Was he wrong about something?
There was no way around it; even if they didn't want to admit it, everyone present, including Yin Tianheng, had to acknowledge that in this layout, no one could deny that it was that woman's fault for her misstep. As for whether anyone could surpass Ye Youluo in that regard remained uncertain.
I had underestimated the Nine Nether Invasion and overestimated the ambitions of the Celestial Dao Gate.
After hearing Ye Youluo's words, everyone fell into contemplation. Only Yin Tianheng, with his deep experience, suddenly turned red at Ye Youluo's remarks and looked at that woman who could sometimes be described as Heartless and Ruthless with some shock.
The Nine Nether Invasion had been planned for many years; it wasn't merely about seizing territory so simply. There were likely greater intentions behind it.
From what he knew, the Nine Nether Invasion along with Guang Nao, Oil Lu Dao, and Underworld Path had already been laying plans for over five years. The Light Path fell overnight; the Celestial Dao Gate collapsed; Zun Wei Guang from the Light Path and Chen Taiyi from Primordial Dao both perished one after another. How could such a feat be achieved in just a month? It seemed impossible without a thousand years of planning. Wasn’t it laughable to think about a barren land in the north of the World of Mortals?
Gu Ping knew whether Ye You was wrong. Even though she could no longer see the course of fate and had lost the vast information sources of the Nine Nether Sect, she still understood who made the significant decisions in the Ninth Underworld, knowing secrets that ordinary people could hardly access.
If she were to ask him, that battle would likely drag on until the end of time, for Ye You's sharp gaze pierced through everyone's hearts. The Daoist Sect seemed intent on unifying the Three Realms.
That was not Coco.
Amidst the shock of everyone, only Yin Tianheng, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, spoke up in rebuttal. Yet everyone knew that it was his experience that led him to become the most incredulous person regarding that matter.
Did I know how powerful the Celestial Dao Gate was? As long as there was a Dao Zun present, no one could truly annihilate a Daoist Sect. Moreover, unifying the Three Realms? Anyone who uttered such words was merely a dreamer.
