Knowing there’s a tiger in the mountain, yet choosing to head towards it, Ye Shikai indeed dislikes extre choices, especially since this "bet" is significant. If what Emily said is true, then once they ascend the Holy Mountain, not only him, but Ji Qian, Wang Kai, Nightmare Soul Destroyer, and others, will all be in danger.
But now the situation forces his hand, and he still harbors a glimr of hope. If he can endure this event, the rumors about him in the Underworld will disappear, and if Wuyan’s treatnt can truly help him restore his inner strength, it will be a great success.
"Sirs, it’s about ti." At this mont, Nightmare knocked on the car window and spoke to the two.
"Qian, I have no way back now. No matter what I encounter at this Main God Conference, I must go up." Ye Shikai took a deep breath and said firmly.
"Alright, but please be very careful." Ji Qian held Ye Shikai’s hand. The two got off the vehicle and walked towards the crowd.
"Is everyone ready?" Ye Shikai glanced at the crowd. Although it’s nominally for the Main God, everyone was fully ard, carrying combat weapons. There were only twelve Main Gods in total, excluding Zeus, just eleven people, but each one was a top-notch master. The only relief for Ye Shikai was a "custom" of the Main God Conference: each Main God, besides bringing guards, wouldn’t bring too many people. So, even if Aphrodite wanted to deal with Ye Shikai, she probably wouldn’t have enough manpower.
"Everything is ready."
Ye Shikai looked at the Hidden Guards behind him, every one of them was a familiar face, having followed him for at least two years, each experienced in battles. Clearly, the entire Netherworld Palace took this matter seriously.
"Alright, let’s hurry up and go."
The group arrived in front of the thick fog, and several other Main Gods also ca over, including Aphrodite, of course. Frankly speaking, Ye Shikai really wanted to kill her right now, and Ji Qian and Wang Kai probably felt the sa, but here in public view, it’s out of the question to act.
In fact, Ye Shikai has always suspected that although Aphrodite is insidious and cunning, she doesn’t have capable fighters under her. Zeus has been taken out, and while there are many people in the God King Hall, they can’t be brought in. Ye Shikai glanced towards Aphrodite’s side, besides a few female guards, she didn’t bring anyone else.
If she didn’t bring many people, how could she make a move on Ye Shikai? The only way is through these Main Gods, especially the newly appointed ones.
They are most likely persuaded by Aphrodite; as for the thods used, Ye Shikai doesn’t know.
This suggests that these Main Gods want his life, and also the Netherworld King’s throne.
When it reached exactly noon, the thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing the path inside. Everyone stepped forward, besides the Main Gods participating, many cultivators also took this opportunity to enter to seek relics.
"Let’s go." Ye Shikai said flatly, and so the group entered the relics. This was Ye Shikai’s second ti entering the Holy Mountain in months. In fact, there are many relics in Huaxia, but few are as large-scale as this Holy Mountain, only Kunlun Mountain, Bai Mountain, and a few other large relics are comparable. To say there’s not enough to go around isn’t quite right, as there are many treasures in these relics, almost inexhaustible. But these are not easy at to bite into; entering these relics and receiving the protection within cos at the risk of one’s life. Treasures aren’t secured easily; lives are often lost first. Many treasures remain untouched in the relics, extracted quantities are indeed minimal, so the phrase "not enough to go around" is apt.
Emily cast her gaze towards Ye Shikai, revealing a few traces of seriousness on her face. Ye Shikai didn’t heed her advice and still decided to ascend the Holy Mountain.
"Sir, we’ve entered the Holy Mountain, and the distance to the Main God Altar is a dozen kiloters." Nightmare reported. The Main God Conference was located at the Main God Altar on the mountainside, about a dozen kiloters away. Electronic devices were unusable within the Holy Mountain, unless an old-fashioned off-road vehicle could be obtained, otherwise... they could only walk up.
Ye Shikai nodded slightly, and taking this opportunity, he ticulously morized the nearby terrain in secret. He rembered the last ti they ca to the Holy Mountain, they encountered many strange things, such as giant beasts, and that so-called Huaxian "village," things difficult to explain. It could only be said that on the Holy Mountain, there remained many things they couldn’t decipher.
"Qian, do you rember that village from last ti?" Ye Shikai suddenly turned his head and asked.
"Of course, I rember. I’ve always been curious why there would be a village of Huaxia people in the Holy Mountain, and dressed so traditionally, like ancient people." Ji Qian nodded in response.
"Maybe they’ve always lived here, and since few people co to the Holy Mountain, they’ve lived an isolated life until outsiders arrive." Ye Shikai analyzed.
"It’s possible."
"Moon God, could I perhaps borrow... him?" At this mont, Emily suddenly ca over, facing the crowd and pointed towards Ye Shikai in front of Ji Qian.
"Sorry, no." Before Ye Shikai could speak, Ji Qian pulled him behind her and coldly refused.
"Just ten minutes, I have sothing very important to discuss, I didn’t finish talking with Hades just now." Emily wasn’t angry but also didn’t give up.
"I’m sorry, I think I made myself very clear." Ji Qian firmly rejected with no room for negotiation. Now being in the Holy Mountain, anyone could potentially harm Ye Shikai; she couldn’t allow Ye Shikai to be alone with a stranger.
"Moreover, you’ve only known him for half an hour, right? If it’s not reminiscing, what can’t you say in front of us all?" Ji Qian retorted.
"My answer is, sorry, this can only be said to Hades." Emily also very politely "rejected" Ji Qian’s suggestion.
"In that case, please step aside; we need to hurry to the Main God Altar." Ji Qian wanted to directly leave with the others but was stopped by Ye Shikai.
"Don’t worry, I think Emily really has sothing important to discuss with . There’s no need to worry about my safety." Ye Shikai explained. For so reason, his intuition told him Emily was not a bad person, on the contrary, she was his "benefactor."
"No, it’s too dangerous, at least I have to be by your side, otherwise if Emily really makes a move on you, I won’t be able to protect you." Ji Qian turned around and said.
