Chapter 100

The suction force that suddenly appeared in the void was extremely powerful. Even though Gu Bai's soul cultivation was very high, he was like an ant in front of this suction force. He could not resist it at all.

"Baigu, you're finally back …"

After the powerful suction force disappeared, before he could open his eyes, he felt his body being hugged by someone. A slightly hoarse voice of joy sounded in his ears.

That voice was inexplicably familiar. Gu Bai was stunned, but then an instinctive feeling of resistance arose in his heart.

He struggled to push it away and opened his eyes. He saw a handsome man wearing a golden brocade robe and a golden crown sitting in front of him.

The surroundings looked like a palace. It was very grand and dignified. Even though Gu Bai had gone through so many missions and seen so many things, he could not help but be shocked by the objects in this palace.

The bed was made of ten-thousand-year-old cold ice jade, the curtains were made of the finest silk, the furnishings were made of passion vine wood, the celestial grade vermillion fruit potted plants were illuminated by the Eastern Sea Luminous Pearl, and the air was filled with celestial spiritual energy. What was this place …

Gu Bai looked at everything in front of him in a daze. He could not understand the current situation. Logically speaking, he should have returned to the starry sky after dying in the world. So why did he suddenly come here?

"Baigu …"

Seeing that he did not speak and had a panicked expression, the golden-robed man could not help but call out again. He reached out to hold his hand.

But the moment the man's hand touched him, Gu Bai's heart was once again filled with resistance. He stepped back to avoid the man's touch.

"Who are you?"

He stared at the golden-robed man in front of him with vigilance and alienation. He instinctively did not like this person's closeness.

Feeling his resistance, the golden-robed man's body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly adjusted. A smile appeared on his handsome face as he slowly choked with sobs.

"My name is Yin Li. I'm your lover …"

The man's voice was filled with emotions that had been suppressed for a long time. These words had repeatedly appeared in his fantasies over the past thousands of years.

Now that his fantasies had become reality, all his inhibitions seemed to have disappeared. He could not control himself. Ignoring Gu Bai's resistance, he pulled him into his arms and said in a hoarse voice.

"I know you might not remember me now, but it's okay. I'll help you recreate the memories that belong to us. You just have to remember that I'm your lover …"

He hugged Gu Bai tightly, desperately suppressing the pain in his heart. Ecstasy and sorrow filled his heart, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. He had waited for this moment for too long, so long that he almost went crazy.

But it was all worth it. From now on, this person's breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, happiness, and laughter would all belong to him. He would only smile in his arms …

He was so strong that Gu Bai was almost out of breath. He could feel a strong sense of sadness and joy from him. That strong sadness, that heavy breathing.

However, he was not moved at all. Instead, the inexplicable resistance in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Especially when the man said "I'm your lover", Gu Bai only felt that the resistance in his chest was about to explode.

He forcefully suppressed the indescribable emotions in his heart and once again struggled with all his might. However, the man did not pay any attention to him. He tightened his grip on his arms and kept muttering the name, "Hundred Bones, Hundred Bones …"

Gu Bai felt that his waist was about to be broken, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free. This golden-robed man was very strong. He could not resist at all.

Fortunately, a white-robed man came over to help. He tried to persuade Yin Li.

"Celestial Emperor, Immortal Baigu has just returned. His soul is still unstable. Your Immortal Qi will hurt him. There's still a long way to go. There's no need to rush …"

Yin Li finally came back to his senses after being comforted by the white-robed man.

He stared at Gu Bai with reddened eyes. His slender fingers weaved through Gu Bai's silky hair. A faint smile bloomed on his face as he apologized gently.

"I'm sorry. I was too anxious. I hope I didn't hurt you …"

"…"

Gu Bai still did not say anything. He still did not understand what was going on. However, he just wanted to stay away from this man. He felt an inexplicable resistance.

Yin Li saw that his expression was somewhat bitter. However, he understood that now that the other party had lost all his memories, he naturally treated him as a stranger. However, it did not matter. Everything could be salvaged. They could start afresh.

At this moment, a servant came in and reported that the Elder had requested an audience. Yin Li frowned impatiently. He ordered the servant to wait in the hall and then left with the white-robed man.

After they left, Gu Bai heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly closed his eyes and called out to Ye Cang.

He had once made a contract with Ye Cang. Every time he encountered something in the world, he could call out to him and the man would appear. He did not want to stay in this place. He just wanted to return to Ye Cang's side as soon as possible.

But soon, Gu Bai opened his eyes in horror. He realized that his contract with Ye Cang had completely disappeared!

He could not contact Ye Cang. He did not know where he was, who the golden-robed man was, and what was the situation now. Gu Bai could only give up for now. He looked around at the unfamiliar palace that was surrounded by Immortal Qi. He secretly thought of a solution.

Although he did not know what was going on, he instinctively did not like this place. Especially when he thought of the golden-robed man's words, he felt an indescribable resistance in his heart.

… …

On the other side, after Yin Li left Gu Bai, he teleported to the White Jade Dragon Throne in another majestic hall. He looked at the hall that was already filled with people with a calm expression.

"Why did you call me here instead of cultivating in seclusion?"

The chattering crowd quieted down. They stared at him in fear and hesitated to speak. In the end, it was the Great Elder in a purple Daoist robe who stood in the front row who stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, we are here because of the strange phenomenon in your palace. We have observed the strange phenomenon. May I ask, Your Majesty, is … is Immortal Baigu back?"

The Great Elder's voice was a little hoarse. The people around him also held their breaths. Although this name had been sealed in the Immortal World for thousands of years, when it was mentioned again, they could not help but think of the things that the owner of this name had done.

"Since you already know, why bother to ask and waste my time …" Yin Li smiled faintly and did not deny it. He flicked his sleeves and then continued.

"Forget it. Since you are all here, I will also explain some things. I plan to hold a dual cultivation ceremony with Immortal Baigu on the 15th of the Immortal Calendar next month. Prepare well and send out the invitations on my behalf …"

When they received the first affirmative answer, the Immortals in the hall showed fear and uneasiness. When they heard the last sentence, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Several Elders looked at each other with worried faces. The red-faced Elder, who was more impatient, could not help but step forward. "Your Majesty, you can't …"

"Can't what?

You have something against my dual cultivation ceremony?

… "

Yin Li stared at him indifferently. A wave of pressure fell on the red-faced Elder, causing him to immediately kneel down with a bitter look on his face.

Ever since the things that happened thousands of years ago, the gentle Emperor had disappeared. He had become this unfathomable person who was constantly changing his emotions. If he did not take the opportunity to do so, he would directly destroy Immortals who offended him.

The red-faced Elder naturally did not want to get into trouble. However, the Emperor wanting to hold a dual cultivation ceremony was not a small matter. Moreover, it was with that person.

When he thought of what might happen in the future, the red-faced Elder had no choice but to brace himself and continue cupping his hands.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your subject is not against you and Immortal Baigu becoming dual cultivators. However, this matter is of great importance and should be properly discussed. A month is too short. Moreover … Moreover, that madman Ye Cang is still here. If, if he knows that Immortal Baigu has returned and is even going to be dual cultivators with you, I'm afraid, I'm afraid …"

The red-faced Elder did not have the courage to finish his sentence. The scenes from the past were still vivid in his mind. He did not even have the courage to mention it. Those scenes from back then were simply too frightening.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Third Elder's words are reasonable. Your subjects do not dare to oppose you. However, it has already been more than three thousand years. That madman Ye Cang is still alive and unwilling to give up. There are also those people from the Demon Realm. If news of Immortal Baigu's survival spreads, they might use this news to incite Ye Cang to break out of the seal. When that happens, once Ye Cang escapes, it will all be over …"

The surrounding Immortals all agreed. The Emperor was no longer the Emperor of the past. They had no reason to object to the Emperor's dual cultivation. However, things were not that simple.

With that madman Ye Cang's personality, he would definitely not let go. Also … also, was Immortal Baigu really willing to become dual cultivators with the Emperor?

If he was willing, he would not have done it for Ye Cang back then …

Everyone's faces were filled with worry. They did not dare to say anything else. If they said anything and angered the Emperor, their souls would probably be destroyed right now!

"Your Majesty, why don't we give this matter further thought …" Everyone cautiously suggested.

"There's no need to discuss. Just do as I say."

Yin Li stared coldly at the Immortal Ministers below.

"I know what you are worried about. No matter how crazy Ye Cang is, he has been trapped in that place for three thousand years. His cultivation has long been refined. How crazy can he be?

Listen up. From today onwards, the ban on Baigu's name will be lifted. However, if anyone dares to mention what happened back then, especially Ye Cang's name, don't blame me for being merciless! "

"But …" Everyone was still very worried.

"Are you the ones who have the final say in the Immortal Realm, or am I the one who has the final say?!"

Yin Li interrupted and instantly released a wave of pressure. The Immortal Ministers were immediately shaken to the point that blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We obey your orders."

The Immortal Ministers were terrified. They clutched their chests and did not dare to refute. They hurriedly retreated with pale faces.
