Chapter 50: The Snake-People's Foundation? Still Not Worth a Blow!
The figure suspended in the air gradually became clear. Yun Yun's beautiful eyes shone with an unusual light as she experienced, for the first time, what it felt like to be at ease.
Yun Yun felt at ease. Emotion Value +100
She was the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. She had always been the one standing before millions, protecting them.
She had almost never been protected like she was today. The only two times had both been because of Gu Fei.
What was more, Gu Fei had such a young face, yet his strength was so formidable.
Yun Yun felt grateful. Emotion Value +100
Gu Fei landed beside Yun Yun. Before he could speak, she parted her lips first and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you. You saved me again!"
Yun Yun felt favorable toward him. Emotion Value +100
Gu Fei gave her a faint smile. His calm, unhurried demeanor seemed utterly disconnected from the domineering man who had just stepped forward to protect her, as though they were not the same person at all.
Yun Yun met his gaze, her eyes sparkling as she lowered the hood over her head.
This was the second time she had experienced a hero saving a beauty. Though she did not understand what emotions were surging in her heart, she wanted to get a little closer to Gu Fei.
At this moment, Yun Yun's favorability toward Gu Fei was almost completely full.
Hearing the system prompt, Gu Fei was briefly stunned, and his gaze shifted slightly.
Yun Yun's heart fluttered. Emotion Value +100
Her feelings for him were no longer limited to mere fondness; there was something more.
She stared intently at Gu Fei's face, her gaze almost greedy, yet she hid the joy of their long-awaited reunion very well.
Yun Yun felt joyful. Emotion Value +100
During the time she had been separated from Gu Fei, whenever she recalled certain things that had happened between them in the Monster Mountain Range, her mind was filled entirely with images of him.
He had happened to save her when she was severely injured, helped her break the Amethyst Winged Lion King's seal, and there had been that brief physical contact between them...
That scorching palm seemed to press against her back once more, making her heart tremble.
Originally, she had thought that after their parting, the two of them would never cross paths again.
She had never expected that when she encountered danger this time, Gu Fei would once again be the one to save her.
Yun Yun missed him. Emotion Value +100
Her expression was calm as she stood tall at his side. Her delicate face beneath the black hood was cool and noble, while her dark hair cascaded down her back.
She had lowered the slender longsword to her side, its blade still stained with blood that had yet to dry.
If not for the Emotion Value prompts, Gu Fei would never have noticed the fluctuations in Yun Yun's emotions.
"Just a small matter!"
Gu Fei said with a deliberately composed smile.
Through the Emotion Value Yun Yun had provided, Gu Fei also understood some of her thoughts.
However, Yun Yun was not like Xiao Yi Xian or Qing Lin, free of attachments and able to follow him around. Behind her stood an entire massive sect.
She carried too many burdens, ones she could neither cast aside nor let go of.
There was no need for Gu Fei to force Yun Yun to abandon everything and leave with him.
Therefore, after some casual conversation, Gu Fei planned to depart.
Both he and Yun Yun had their own things to do. Their fate could only sustain this brief intersection.
After this, they would be like two lines that would never meet again, each walking down their own path.
Gu Fei did not intend to say these words aloud.
Because he understood that Yun Yun certainly knew. She simply did not want to understand.
Meanwhile, the Snake-People, who had originally been extremely arrogant, could now only watch this mysterious powerhouse warily, not daring to make any rash moves.
After all, Gu Fei's strength had already exceeded their imagination.
Even the Five Serpent Poisonous Asura Seal, a combined attack formation formed by five Dou Wangs, had been effortlessly broken by him.
Unless those elders took action, none of them dared to go up and throw away their lives.
Among them, the older Snake-People leader, Yin Shi, cast Gu Fei a wary glance before quickly hurrying toward the Holy City.
Here, after Gu Fei and Yun Yun finished chatting, the two fell silent for a brief moment.
Yun Yun knew full well that Gu Fei was leaving, yet she had no way to stop him.
Yun Yun felt reluctant to part. Emotion Value +100
But just as she watched Gu Fei's figure prepare to leave, he suddenly stopped.
Yun Yun felt puzzled. Emotion Value +100
Gu Fei's expression remained unchanged as he quietly told her, "A few old fogies are coming to back up their younger clansmen."
Because just now, he had sensed the four Dou Emperor auras that had remained dormant within the Snake-People Holy City suddenly begin to move.
Originally, no matter how fiercely they clashed with the Snake-People, no matter how many Snake-People Gu He, Yun Yun, and the others killed within the holy city, those four Dou Emperor auras had never stirred.
Gu Fei knew very well that these four were the Snake-People's hidden reserves.
However, because the four of them were already advanced in years, they would not act lightly. Unless it was a critical moment, they would only stand by and watch.
After all, once a great battle began, it would inevitably deplete their vital essence.
They rarely took action, and that was precisely why the four old women had lived for so long.
Yun Yun furrowed her brows and looked toward the distant sky.
That was the direction of the Snake-People Holy City.
Although her cultivation had reached the Dou Emperor realm, she was still far inferior to those four old women.
Thus, she could only sense a vague yet powerful and domineering aura rapidly drawing near.
"My Snake-People are not to be bullied by just anyone!"
As the rather shrill voice rang out, the nearby Snake-People all raised their heads, their faces filled with wild joy and reverence.
"Have these four old women finally been unable to hold back any longer?"
In Gu Fei's sight, four Snake-People old women were rapidly charging out of the city.
In the blink of an eye, four immensely oppressive auras closed in. The four grim-faced Snake-People old women stood proudly in midair, Dou Qi wings spread behind them.
Their eyes all locked tightly onto Gu Fei.
At this moment, Yun Yun, standing beside Gu Fei, murmured in disbelief, "Four Dou Emperors?"
"Moreover, the Snake-People excel at combined attack formations. With the power of four stacked together, they far surpass ordinary Dou Emperors and may even reach the realm of a Dou Zong! This is trouble."
Seeing the lineup that had appeared on the Snake-People's side, panic showed on Yun Yun's beautiful face.
She looked at Gu Fei uneasily.
If it were only her, she would be utterly incapable of contending against these four.
On the other side, Gu He and his group, who had stopped fleeing after believing Gu Fei's intervention had settled the situation, also underwent a drastic change in expression.
The information they had previously gathered on the Snake-People had not mentioned these four Dou Emperors in the slightest.
They had never expected the Snake-People's reserves to be so formidable, with four Dou Emperors still hidden away.
And with Gu He's experience, he could naturally tell—
These four were no ordinary Dou Emperors. Every one of them was among the finest of their realm.
Any one of the four Dou Emperors could easily crush the people Gu He had brought with him.
Not to mention that there was still a sizable Snake-People army on the other side.
On top of that, the Snake-People from the Eight Great Tribes were still continuously rushing toward this place.
Having failed to withdraw in time, Gu He could not help but regret it deeply.
He sighed inwardly. Escaping from here would likely be exceedingly difficult.
Yet while Yun Yun, Gu He, and the others were worried, Gu Fei's expression remained calm.
The sudden appearance of four Dou Emperors did not cause the slightest ripple in him.
