Chapter 1363: We Are Not Here to Fight You

The news of Jun Yu and his allies besieging Ye Guan and Diyi Jingzhao naturally didn't escape the notice of the Supreme Emperor Clans and the Immortal Clans.

The clan leaders of these powerful clans gathered to observe the situation. Hidden in the shadows, Dao Zhi, the clan leader of the Dao Clan, had arrived early with a group of experts.

However, he had no intention of taking action just yet.

He preferred to wait and observe, suspecting that the so-called "weak" Supreme Emperor Guan was merely putting on an act. Suspicion alone wasn't enough for him to make a move; he needed to see it for himself.

When the Di Clan immediately ignited both their fleshly bodies and souls to fight for Ye Guan's sake, Dao Zhi and the Dao Clan elites behind him were utterly stunned.

Had the Di Clan lost their minds? Did they really just go all out?

It wasn't just the Dao Clan; everyone present was in shock.

What kind of madness was this? They went all-out right away?

Even Ye Guan himself was surprised as he stared at the Di Clan charging forward. He hadn't informed them of his situation, nor had he expected them to show up.

Upon reflection, he quickly understood what was going on. The Di Clan had likely been monitoring him since he arrived in the Ten Desolate Universe.

Ye Guan smiled and glanced at Di Ling. "Much appreciated."

Diyi Jingzhao shot a glance at Ye Guan before raising her head toward the sky. Thousands of blazing figures descended from the heavens, and their terrifying auras made the heavens tremble.

The spacetime around them trembled violently as a wave of overwhelming force surged forth from them.

The full might of the Di Clan unfolded right before everyone's eyes

Di Ling and his clansmen halted before Ye Guan and bowed deeply.

"Greetings, Supreme Emperor Guan!!" they shouted. Their voices boomed like thunder that echoed throughout the heavens.

Not far away, Jun Yu and his allies fixed their gazes on Di Ling, and their eyes were filled with unmasked killing intent.

Ye Guan smiled. "No need for formalities."

Di Ling straightened and waved his hand. The Di Clan members swiftly positioned themselves on either side of Ye Guan, while he himself stood half a step behind Ye Guan to protect the latter.

"Di Clan!" Jun Yu exclaimed. His voice was laced with mockery as he laughed. "

Hahaha!

The defeated dogs of the Di Clan have actually come crawling back here? Back then, after your Supreme Emperor fell, your entire clan became nothing but a clan with a bunch of weaklings!

"Even before the others made a move, you've already abandoned your Emperor-grade weapon and fled like cowards. You people are jokes!"

Ye Guan frowned slightly.

Di Ling, however, merely cast a calm glance at Jun Yu and blandly said, "When my Di Clan's Supreme Emperor appeared, each and every one of you submitted. My ancestor merely looked in the direction of your Jun Clan, and your clan trembled in fear as if you were puppies out in the rain.

"Your clan leader even led tens of thousands of Jun Clan members to kneel before my Di Clan, swearing allegiance to us. Have you already forgotten that, Jun Yu?"

Jun Yu's face darkened.

Di Ling continued, "There's an old saying that fortune and power are always shifting. No clan is eternally powerful. If you can't grasp such a simple truth, have you been cultivating your entire life only to end up as a dumbass?"

"How dare you!" Jun Yu roared and sent out a palm strike. A massive, sky-shattering palm imprint descended upon Di Ling and his warriors, seeking to crush them into dust.

However, Di Ling showed no fear. He clenched his fist and punched upward. A fist imprint shot into the sky and collided with the giant palm imprint.

The moment the two forces collided, they exploded into nothingness, sending devastating shockwaves across the battlefield.

The heavens and the earth trembled!

Diyi Jingzhao stepped forward and shielded Ye Guan. With a single sweep of her sleeve, the shockwaves dissipated into nothingness.

Jun Yu locked eyes with Di Ling, and his killing intent grew even more intense. "Di Ling, since your Di Clan seeks annihilation, I will grant your wish today. Kill them!"

At his command, he and the Jun Clan elites moved to attack, but before they could strike, the spacetime nearby trembled violently, and powerful auras pervaded the battlefield.

Moments later, formidable figures emerged one after another from the manifested spacetime rifts.

These formidable figures were members of the Diyi Clan!

The Diyi Clan was here!

Their strongest experts rushed forward and stood around Ye Guan and Diyi Jingzhao, forming an impenetrable barrier.

Seeing this, Jun Yu's expression became even more sinister. He was furious. This was all the Di Clan's fault. If the Di Clan hadn't appeared, they would have had a three-versus-one advantage.

They could have easily crushed Ye Guan.

However, the Di Clan had intervened and recklessly ignited their fleshly bodies and souls, sowing absolute chaos.

Even if they ended up winning, the price to pay would be too immense!

He just couldn't understand—how come the Di Clan had decided to make a stance when they had been hiding for so many years?

Clan Leader Qin Hao's face was ugly. He hadn't expected that what was supposed to be an easy victory would become so troublesome, courtesy of the Di Clan.

The clan leader of the Emperor Sword Clan remained calm, but he would occasionally glance at Jun Yu.

"

Hahaha.

" Jun Yu suddenly laughed. "Everyone seems to have forgotten something. Ye Guan and Diyi Jingzhao crossed the river inside the ruins and returned safely from there."

They crossed the river?!

Many were shocked, but those in the shadows weren't surprised at all. They had dispatched people to follow Ye Guan into the Suiming Ruins, after all.

Jun Yu stared at Ye Guan and exclaimed, "That means Ye Guan and Diyi Jingzhao must have obtained some treasures from the ruins! Everyone here knows that the Diyi Clan's Supreme Emperor became a Supreme Emperor after exiting those ruins.

"It wasn't just him; many of our ancestors ascended to the Supreme Emperor Realm after visiting that place."

For a moment, the eyes of every elite from the Supreme Emperor Clans and the Immortal Clans burned with greed. Over the years, many had ventured into the Suiming Ruins, but none had dared to cross the river.

Those daring enough to do so had never returned.

Ye Guan and Diyi Jingzhao had done the impossible, unscathed. In truth, most of the onlookers weren't just here to watch; they had their own agendas.

Diyi Jingzhao's face turned cold upon witnessing Jun Yu's words. She was about to make a move, but Ye Guan stopped her.

Diyi Jingzhao turned to look at him.

"If you act now, you'll be playing right into their hands," said Ye Guan with a smile.

After a moment of hesitation, Diyi Jingzhao stepped back.

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the crowd and smiled. "To be honest, Jingzhao and I did cross the river. We reached the other side and learned some secrets."

Every gaze locked onto him.

Smiling, Ye Guan added, "If anyone wants to know what we discovered, step forward."

Dao Zhi and his grandson, Dao Chen, stepped out.

Mu Zhen and Mu Shuo of the Mu Clan followed suit. The clan leader of the Divine Clan, Shen Yong, as well as Yuan Zhen of the Yuan Clan and Chen Yue of the Royal Clan all stepped forward after them.

The clan leaders had stepped forward.

Dao Zhi clasped his hands toward Ye Guan and said, "Supreme Emperor Guan, our Dao Clan is merely here out of curiosity. We mean no harm."

He was making it clear that they were distancing themselves from Jun Yu.

Jun Yu's eyes flashed coldly, but he said nothing.

Shen Yong also spoke. "Supreme Emperor Guan, like the Dao Clan, we are only here out of curiosity. We're not here to fight you."

He was a straightforward man, and his speech was just like his personality.

Mu Zhen of the Mu Clan followed suit, saying, "Our Mu Clan is the same."

Likewise, the Royal Clan's Chen Yue and the Yuan Clan's Yuan Zhen declared that they had no hostile intentions.

However, Jun Yu sneered at that and remarked, "You've all claimed to have no ill intent. If that's the case, then tell me—why did you agree to have Ye Guan sealed away back then?"

Everyone's expressions turned somewhat unsightly.

Just as Jun Yu was about to speak again, Ye Guan chuckled and said, "If you all want to know about the other side of the Suiming Ruins, I can tell you without any conditions. However, I will only share it with the Royal Clan, the Yuan Clan, the Dao Clan, the Mu Clan, and the Divine Clan..."

Everyone was stunned. This guy was trying to stir up trouble!

Both Jun Yu and Qin Hao's faces immediately darkened.

At the forefront, Jun Yu sneered coldly and said, "Ye Guan, do you really think that you can sow discord among our clans? Do you really think that such petty tricks will work?"

Ye Guan smirked. "Why don't you ask them?"

Jun Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but Dao Zhi beat him to the chase, saying, "Clan Leader Jun Yu, how about this? We'll talk with Young Master Ye first. Once we're done, you can settle your grudges with him however you like."

"Clan Leader Dao Zhi, what do you mean by that?" asked Jun Yu with a cold face.

"It's simple," Dao Zhi replied indifferently, "We just want to have a chat with Young Master Ye, nothing more, nothing less."

Jun Yu stared at Dao Zhi. "And what if we refuse?"

Dao Zhi said calmly, "If that's the way you want this to go, then I can only say that we're going to have a conversation with Young Master Ye right now. If you want, feel free to try and stop us."

Dao Zhi glanced at the other clan leaders. One by one, the Supreme Emperor Clan leaders and the Immortal Clan leaders stepped forward to stand beside Dao Zhi, effectively establishing a temporary alliance with him.

Jun Yu's face turned even more unsightly.

However, Dao Zhi ignored him and looked at Ye Guan with a smile. "Young Master Ye, shall we talk somewhere else?"

"Sure." Ye Guan nodded.

Dao Zhi gestured. "Please."

The group walked away, but after a few steps, Ye Guan stopped. He turned to look at Jun Yu and sternly asked, "Clan Leader Jun Yu, are you curious about the secrets of the Suiming Ruins?"

Before Jun Yu could answer, Ye Guan grinned and said, "Too bad, I'm not telling you!"
