Chapter 103

The means of immortals were incomparable to those of mortals. Yin Li took Gu Bai and left in the blink of an eye.

When he returned to his bedroom, he struggled to break free from the other party's grip. He put away his disguise and stared at the man with dark and complicated eyes in front of him.

"Didn't I tell you not to go out alone?" Yin Li's voice was hoarse. Gu Bai's distant gaze made him feel uncomfortable.

"Why don't you want me to go out alone?

Are you afraid that I'll discover Ye Cang's existence? "

Gu Bai rubbed his wrists and smiled faintly. His gaze and tone were calm, but there was a coldness that made one's heart contract. Yin Li's breathing stopped.

"You've been lying to me … From the moment I opened my eyes, you've been lying to me. The past you told me was incomplete."

Yin Li's entire body stiffened. He looked at Gu Bai with melancholy. His hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists. After a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry … I didn't tell you because it's better for you not to remember some memories …"

"Why not?

My own memories, whether good or bad, are my own business. What right do you have to decide for me? "

Gu Bai smiled coldly. Whether or not he had his memories, he was certain that he would not like this place. This place was filled with too many secrets and lies, as well as hidden malice.

Looking around at the huge immortal palace, Gu Bai no longer hid his feelings. He smiled faintly.

"You don't have to make up stories anymore. I've never believed you, and you've never believed me. I don't believe that you didn't realize that I've been trying to get information out of Xian 'e all this time. After all, you're the Lord of the Immortal Realm. You're very resourceful … But why did you do that?

Why didn't you stop me?

Let me guess … "

Gu Bai rubbed his temples as if he was thinking. His chuckle made Yin Li's heart clench again.

After a few breaths, Gu Bai put down his hands from his temples. He looked at Yin Li again and spoke slowly.

"I think … Are you trying to test me as well?

You're testing me to see if I've really lost my memories. But why are you testing me like this?

Wouldn't that make me suspect you?

Isn't that not worth the loss? "

"So... I'm guessing that you've set a trap for me. If you've confirmed that I've really lost my memory, then this trap will be over. If I haven't, then perhaps this is just the beginning. This process is extremely complicated, but your goal is actually very simple. You just want to erase my memories of Ye Cang, right?"

His slow voice was still calm, but it sent a wave of fear through Yin Li's heart. His breathing stopped once again. He looked at Gu Bai, his words almost out of tune as he trembled.

"You … still, still remember …"

"No, I really don't remember …"

Gu Bai shook his head. His clear eyes were still so clear that they could reflect a person's figure, but they were very ethereal, like a huge whirlpool that could suck away a person's soul at the same time.

He continued to smile as he spoke slowly.

"I really don't remember what happened in the past. I also don't know if I'm really the Yin Baigu you're talking about. I really don't know anything … But before I met you, I already met Ye Cang, and … I fell in love with him."

Yin Li suddenly raised his head. His aura instantly turned cold.

Gu Bai saw his reaction and the smile on his face widened.

"If I hadn't met Ye Cang, I might have believed your story. It was such a perfect lie … But even if I believe your story and believe that I'm Yin Baigu, I don't believe in the love between Yin Baigu and Yin Li."

His last words were like a sharp dagger that pierced Yin Li's chest. It minced his heart into a ball of minced meat, and it hurt like it did in the past.

He looked at Gu Bai's calm and smiling face. Those clear eyes were the same as before. Even the coldness hidden under that smile was the same. It made it hard for him to breathe, and it destroyed his will and soul.

Yin Li felt a metallic taste in his throat. Then, he laughed softly. His laughter was bitter and persistent. He reached out and touched Gu Bai's face. His eyes were filled with a frightening madness as he smiled gently.

"You're still as smart as before. You're right. I only have one goal, and that is to erase your memories of Ye Cang. No matter if it was in the past, now, or in the future, I will never allow you to remember him …"

Gu Bai brushed his hand away. He didn't say a word, silently expressing his resistance.

At this moment, there was a loud explosion in the distance. The entire Immortal Palace suddenly shook.

Gu Bai instantly felt the connection between his soul and Ye Cang being restored. His eyes were filled with joy. Yin Li's eyes narrowed. Then, a guard rushed in and knelt down to report.

"Emperor, it's not good. The seal has been broken. Ye Cang has escaped. All the guards in the Nine Underworlds Abyss have been killed. Emperor, Emperor, what do we do now …"

The guard's face was pale with fear. Even though he was kneeling on the ground, he was so scared that he almost couldn't kneel properly. His legs were trembling.

"Get someone to stop him first!

Immediately inform the elders to wait for me in the court … "

Yin Li ordered gloomily.

"But, but … Yes, your subordinate will obey."

When the guard heard the order, he looked troubled. However, he had no choice but to obey the order. At this moment, he had no other choice but to obey the order.

After the guard left in a hurry, Gu Bai looked at Yin Li again. His bright eyes curved, and his handsome face revealed a devilish smile.

"Emperor Yin Li, I think you can consider letting me go now. Otherwise, I think my man will kill all of you …"

"You're not his man!

You're not! "

Yin Li suddenly interrupted Gu Bai. The aura around him became cold again. In an instant, everything in the Immortal Palace except Gu Bai and the servant Xian 'e were frozen into ice sculptures. Only then did he leave, trembling.

Gu Bai looked at his back. The smile on his face disappeared. He looked around the Immortal Palace and sneered.

There was one thing he didn't tell Yin Li. In this world, the person who understood him the most would always be himself. If he was really Yin Baigu, he would never believe that he would willingly be played by these people.

… … …

Since he had already laid his cards on the table, Gu Bai naturally wouldn't pretend anymore. When he saw Yin Li, he didn't hide his resistance and indifference. This behavior made Yin Li feel very pained, but he was still very persistent. He came to torture himself every day.

After completing so many missions, Gu Bai wasn't surprised that Yin Li would behave this way. So what if he was the Emperor of the Immortal World? He was a human after all. A human who had cultivated to become an immortal from the mortal world. He had the seven emotions and six desires of a human.

The Dual Cultivation Ceremony had to be canceled because of Ye Cang's sudden release. The atmosphere in the Immortal Palace became tense and serious.

Although Gu Bai couldn't walk out of the Immortal Palace, he could still guess from the servant Xian 'e's expression that Ye Cang had caused a lot of trouble and fear for these people.

Although he could sense Ye Cang's aura through the contract, he still couldn't see him. Gu Bai couldn't move. He could only wait patiently. The only thing he could do now was wait.

In reality, the situation outside was even more tense and serious than Gu Bai had guessed. The entire Immortal World was in a state of panic.

Everyone had already experienced Ye Cang's madness and terror a thousand years ago. He hadn't even been burned to death in the Nine Underworlds Abyss for three thousand years. Now that he had returned, his power was even greater than before. How could that madman let them go when the old and new grudges were added together?

The Immortals in the Immortal Palace were all in danger. They felt a chill down their spines when they thought of their tragic past.

"Emperor, that madman Ye Cang only wants Lord Immortal Baigu. He's actually very easy to talk to. Let's … let's give him to him."

The Immortals stared at Yin Li's gloomy eyes and braced themselves to speak in unison.

They couldn't be blamed for being cowardly. Anyone who had experienced what happened three thousand years ago would be like this. They couldn't face someone like Ye Cang head-on.

Ye Cang wasn't afraid of death, but they were. In the Immortal World, other than a few second-generation Immortals, who hadn't cultivated bitterly for a thousand years in the Lower Realm before ascending? Who would want to die?

However, Yin Li's indifferent expression made it clear that he didn't intend to hand over Ye Cang. Everyone's faces were filled with worry and anxiety. They couldn't help but kneel down and beg again.

"Emperor, that madman Ye Cang is capable of anything. We were lucky to be able to seal him back then, and it was all thanks to the help of the other four Realm Lords …"

"But now, Ye Cang's strength is even greater than before. The other four Realms can't even take care of themselves, let alone help us. They've all activated their Realm Protection Arrays. That madman Ye Cang, even the sinful flames of the Nine Underworlds Abyss couldn't burn him to death. Who can kill him?

Also, those people from the Demon Realm who are struggling at death's door will definitely abandon everything they've done in the past and support Ye Cang once again. Emperor, please take pity on the people of the Immortal World and release Lord Immortal Baigu … "

Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground and begged sincerely.

Yin Li stared coldly at the Immortals in the hall. His handsome face was filled with mockery. He slowly released his suppressive aura and spoke in a low voice.

"Take pity on the people of the Immortal World?

Let me tell you, if I didn't take pity on you, do you think you'd still be alive?

If it weren't for you, how would Baigu have the chance to meet Ye Cang?

You're afraid of Ye Cang? Do you think I'm just a decoration?

Let me tell you, I will never release Yin Baigu. If anyone dares to disobey me again, Ye Cang can destroy the Immortal World. I can do it too. All of you will be buried with me!

If you don't want to die now, go and activate the Heavenly Palace Protection Array to defend against the enemy! "

With that, Yin Li flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind a group of Immortal officials who were paralyzed with fear.
