Chapter 2316: From the Evil Demon Palace?

“I’ve never heard of our Sect Leader having a friend named Di Huai.” A master from the Yu Emperor Saint Sect coldly looked at Holy Beast Di Huai: “And your timing to visit our Sect Leader is a little too coincidental.”

Holy Beast Di Huai’s expression darkened: “What do you mean?”

The master from the Yu Emperor Saint Sect was the Holy Sect Hall Master of Yu Emperor Saint Sect, named Li Libo. He stared mockingly at Di Huai: “What do I mean? Do you still not know? You must be a spy sent by the Evil Demon Palace, our Sect Leader was injured by your Evil Demon Palace masters, and you’re playing dumb.”

Evil Demon Palace spy?

Huang Xiaolong, Feng Tianyu, and others were surprised.

“What? Emperor Yu was injured?” Di Huai furrowed his brow.

Li Libo sneered: “Quite an act you’re putting on. If you were truly our Emperor Yu Sect Leader’s friend, would you not know about our Sect Leader’s injury? Recently, we’ve captured several batches of spies sent by the Evil Demon Palace; you suspicious ones should come with us as well.”

However, just as the Yu Emperor Saint Sect Hall Master finished speaking, Di Huai reached out and captured him right before himself. Although Li Libo was a First Tribulation Half-Saint, in front of Holy Beast Di Huai, he stood no chance of resistance.

All around, the masters of the Yu Emperor Saint Sect and other masters of the Yu Emperor Sacred Land were greatly shocked.

“Quick, release Li Libo, our Hall Master!”

Everyone was angry and shouted furiously.

Li Libo was also shocked and enraged. He glared at Di Huai: “You better release me, or else!”

“Or else, what?” Di Huai said calmly, gazing directly at Li Libo. At this moment, Di Huai had transformed into human form, and under his gaze, Li Libo felt his heart grow threadbare, uncertain of how to reply.

“Take me to meet your Sect Leader, Emperor Yu!” Di Huai said.

“In your dreams!” Li Libo shouted angrily.

“In my dreams?” Di Huai grabbed Li Libo and flew into the Yu Emperor Sacred Land.

Huang Xiaolong, Feng Tianyu, and others saw this, and quickly followed behind Di Huai, entering the Yu Emperor Sacred Land, while all the masters of the Yu Emperor Sacred Land surged forward, following closely.

Huang Xiaolong looked at Di Huai holding Li Libo, ignoring the ever-increasing number of Yu Emperor Sacred Land masters rushing over, and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Unexpectedly, Di Huai’s visit to this old friend Emperor Yu turned into such an event.

Soon, Di Huai, Huang Xiaolong, and others entered the Yu Emperor Sacred Land, heading towards the Holy Sect Headquarters of Yu Emperor. However, before Di Huai, Huang Xiaolong, and others arrived, they saw a large group of powerful figures flying out from the direction of the Yu Emperor Sacred Land Headquarters, densely packed, intercepting Huang Xiaolong and others.

An elder wearing a brocade robe from the Yu Emperor Saint Sect stepped forward.

“Are you an elder of a branch of the Evil Demon Palace?” The Yu Emperor Saint Sect elder coldly looked at Di Huai: “Now, you’d better release our Hall Master!”

Di Huai furrowed his brow: “Are you a newly promoted elder of the Yu Emperor Saint Sect?”

This elder from the Yu Emperor Saint Sect was likely newly promoted; if he were an elder from the older generation of Yu Emperor Saint Sect, it would be impossible for him not to recognize him.

Just as Di Huai guessed, the elder was indeed one of the newly promoted elders of the Yu Emperor Saint Sect within the last billion years.

Seeing Di Huai evading the question, the Yu Emperor Saint Sect elder waved his hand, and instantly, tens of thousands of masters from the Yu Emperor Saint Sect encircled Di Huai, Huang Xiaolong, and others.

However, just before the Yu Emperor Saint Sect elder gave the order, Di Huai repeated his tactic, capturing him with one hand and bringing him before himself.

“What?!”

The Yu Emperor Sacred Land masters were all dumbfounded.

The strength of this Yu Emperor Saint Sect elder was far beyond that of Hall Master Li Libo, yet before him, there was not a trace of resistance?

“Stop!” At this moment, suddenly, a voice with supreme authority echoed throughout the heavens and earth, as infinite Holy Light surged from the Holy Sect Headquarters of Yu Emperor.

Then a hearty laugh followed, as a middle-aged man covered in Holy Light flew out from the Holy Sect Headquarters, followed by numerous elders of the Yu Emperor Saint Sect.

“Salute the Emperor Yu Saint, Emperor Yu Saint, holy peace!”

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the masters of the Yu Emperor Sacred Land were greatly shocked and hurriedly knelt down, chanting in unison.

The newcomer was the controller of the Yu Emperor Sacred Land, Emperor Yu Saint.

Emperor Yu Saint did not look at the kneeling people but instead looked at Di Huai, and smiled: “Brother Di Huai, it’s been years since we last met, you still remain distinguished!”

Brother Di Huai?!

The crowd from the Yu Emperor Sacred Land was stunned.

Earlier, the Yu Emperor Sacred Land Hall Master Li Libo and the elder’s faces turned pale instantly.

Di Huai smiled: “Indeed, it’s been years, a mere sixteen billion in the blink of an eye.” Saying this, he looked at Li Libo and the earlier elder: “However, it seems your people do not quite welcome my visit.”

Li Libo and the elder’s eyes were full of terror.

“Senior, we, we didn’t know you were the Sect Leader’s friend!” Li Libo explained in a panic.

“Didn’t know?” Di Huai casually tossed the two aside: “I had mentioned before, I am friends with your Sect Leader.”

At this time, the elders behind Emperor Yu Saint stepped forward to bow to Holy Beast Di Huai: “Salute Lord Di Huai, holy peace.”

Emperor Yu Saint smiled at Di Huai: “Brother Di Huai, it’s because my followers did not recognize you, and with the recent disturbances frequently caused by the Evil Demon Palace, thus this misunderstanding happened.”

Di Huai nodded. With his status, he would naturally not truly hold against Li Libo and others.

Later, Di Huai introduced Huang Xiaolong to Emperor Yu Saint. Hearing Huang Xiaolong was the chief Saint Heir of Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, Emperor Yu Saint was surprised, his gaze sharp, inspecting Huang Xiaolong.

“Youngster Huang, come meet Emperor Yu Senior.” Di Huai smiled, nodding at Huang Xiaolong.

“Huang Xiaolong greets Emperor Yu Senior.” Huang Xiaolong stepped forward and respectfully clasped his fists toward Emperor Yu Saint.

The elders of the Yu Emperor Saint Sect frowned slightly, seeing Huang Xiaolong only clasping fists to their Sect Leader with no kneeling etiquette. Even though he was the chief Saint Heir of Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, upon meeting their Sect Leader, he should show kneeling etiquette.

Emperor Yu Saint also furrowed his brow slightly but soon relaxed, nodded, and smiled at Huang Xiaolong: “Good!” Then he also did not pay further attention to Huang Xiaolong, turning to Di Huai: “Brother Di Huai, since you’ve come, you must stay for a few more days before leaving.” He then welcomed Di Huai, Huang Xiaolong, and others into the Yu Emperor Sacred Land Headquarters.

Di Huai smiled and then inquired about the Evil Demon Palace.

Upon hearing that Emperor Yu Saint was injured by Dou Rui, an elder from Evil Demon Palace Headquarters, Di Huai was shocked: “Dou Rui!”

“Yes, it’s Dou Rui!” Emperor Yu Saint’s eyes were solemn: “Unexpectedly, this Dou Rui has improved his strength so fast, in a hundred thousand years not only has he seized the Holy Order, achieving Saint Realm, but he even managed to injure me!”

Di Huai inquired: “Is this Dou Rui’s strength so formidable now? Has he possibly reached Saint Second Realm?”

Emperor Yu Saint nodded: “Even if he hasn’t achieved Saint Second Realm, he should be very close to it.”

“Does Dou Rui have great talent?” Huang Xiaolong interjected.

Emperor Yu Saint furrowed his brow; he and Di Huai were two great Saint Realm discussing, and Huang Xiaolong, merely a Saint Heir, interrupting made him slightly displeased.
