The God King of Destruction wanted to pursue Ji Dong and Lie Yan.
But faced with the heavily injured gods and the chaotic God Realm, he was held back where he stood, at a loss for what to do. All he could do was cry out in rage.
Meanwhile, seeing Ji Dong and Lie Yan approach without any guard whatsoever, Ye Wen and everyone present in the battle wore strange expressions.
Everyone thought, We were ready to fight to the death, so why is our lord taking the lead in defecting?
Seeing that Ye Wen and the others did not attack them, the smiles on Ji Dong and Lie Yan's faces deepened. They knew they had gambled correctly.
Ji Dong flew straight up before Ye Wen with Lie Yan, and the two of them bowed to greet him.
"Greetings, Lord Han Hai. Are you pleased with the tribute offered by my wife and me in exchange for our allegiance?"
Ye Wen stared at them for a while. Though Lie Yan possessed beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, Ye Wen would not entertain any improper thoughts over something as vulgar as beauty. Besides, she was already married; Ye Wen had no intention of becoming a Cao thief.
The reason he had looked at them for so long was mostly because of Ji Dong.
Strictly speaking, the two of them could be considered fellow countrymen. Both came from Earth, or from parallel planes similar to Earth.
But Ye Wen only felt a brief pang of sentiment. The whole "fellow countrymen meeting, tears filling their eyes" routine was an unbearably stale cliché.
Ye Wen believed more in the saying that fellow countrymen would stab each other in the back. Taking the initiative to expose one's secrets was no different from seeking one's own death.
