Hell Emperor.

Chapter 662 Ye Jie - Reunion

Blocking the way for the heavily injured Snow Mountain Goddess was Nan Linghe, whose face was filled with fear.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Nan Linghe stand in front of the seriously injured enemy without saying a word, not only Li Feie was surprised, but everyone else was as well.

"Are you mistaken? She's clearly our enemy! Get out of the way!"

Su Miao was filled with anxiety. If the Snow Mountain Goddess were given enough breathing space to catch her breath, regain her strength, and restore her cultivation, then everyone would be in trouble.

Having finally obtained such a golden opportunity, and seeing it about to slip away, everyone was extremely anxious. Nan Linghe, however, simply shook his head repeatedly, refusing to make way under any circumstances.

"No...that's not how it is..."

Her eyes were lowered, her gaze filled with a complex mix of pity and reluctance, as if she had some unspeakable secret. But her hesitant manner only increased everyone's anxiety, and they were determined to pull her aside.

Only Shen Qingge noticed something and stopped everyone from doing so:
“Wait a minute… Sister He usually dislikes disputes and knows how to be sensible. Unless she knows the inside story of the matter, she would never interfere. Let’s listen to her thoughts.”

Shen Qingge's words undoubtedly served as a reminder to everyone. Coupled with her usual prestige, no matter how confused they were, they eventually restrained themselves and turned their attention to Nan Linghe, wanting to hear her thoughts.

Li Fei'e pouted, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes. The opportunity to defeat a powerful enemy was right before her, yet it had been interrupted. Anyone would be unhappy, but ultimately she lowered her hand and said with a pout:
"Alright... I'd like to hear why you're stopping us at this time, but if you can't give a convincing reason, I won't let it go!"

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Nan Linghe tried her best to calm her uneasy heart. At the same time, she cast a grateful look at Shen Qingge. Stopping everyone had exhausted all her courage, and she could hardly say another word. If it weren't for this brief respite, she really didn't know how things would have turned out.

“I didn’t sense any malice from the Snow Mountain Goddess. Perhaps she did all this not just to commit evil, nor to harm Jamila’s family, but for some other reason…”

After a pause, Nan Linghe added, "I have a feeling that killing her now would be an irreparable mistake..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. Could there be some other reason?

Li Feie was even more incredulous, her eyes widening as she questioned:

"What are you saying? The Snow Mountain Goddess made the Asura King eat the firstborn child of a mortal. We all saw it with our own eyes. If we hadn't intervened, Jamila's child would have been cruelly eaten alive. Isn't that an evil deed?"

Finally, Li Feie could no longer suppress her anger, and lightning struck her fingertips again. If Nan Linghe hadn't blocked her way, the divine lightning would have already struck the Snow Mountain Goddess.

Faced with everyone's doubts and incomprehension, Nan Linghe lowered her head. Any explanation seemed powerless; she felt she shouldn't do anything. But just as she saw the Snow Mountain Goddess, her previously learned telepathic abilities suddenly activated, and she sensed something different. Yao Bai bluntly stated, "You're not here to cause trouble, are you? Speaking of which, everyone worked together, using their best techniques to fight against the Snow Mountain Goddess's killing move. You were the only one hiding in the back watching the show, doing nothing from beginning to end. Now you're even helping the enemy. If you ask me, you're definitely on the enemy's side!"

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Nan Linghe bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with deep grievance. Clearly, these words had hurt her deeply. Although she wanted to help everyone, she was not good at fighting at all. Even if she used a Saint-level technique, she would mostly just cause trouble for everyone. That was why she did not take action. Who would have thought that she would be misunderstood now?

Hua Xiaomei also frowned: "Although I believe in Sister He's abilities, could it be that you've made a mistake this time? No matter how you look at it, this is a trap set by a demon using a strange treasure to kill mortals. Otherwise, Sister He, you can leave this matter to us."

Seeing that Hua Xiaomei, who had always trusted him, was now questioning his judgment, Nan Linghe felt uneasy.

No one believed her idea. After all, apart from her innate supernatural abilities, she was far inferior to everyone else in terms of cultivation and experience. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was insignificant and her words carried little weight. How could such a baseless claim without any evidence convince anyone?

In a daze, the image of a person involuntarily appeared in her mind. If that person were here, he would definitely be on her side.

"Brother Jie, where are you...?"

Nan Linghe's eyes reddened, and a deep longing welled up in her heart. At this moment, she couldn't help but miss Hong Gaitou's ability. If Hong Gaitou were here, she could see the person she wanted to see immediately.

"It really is you... When I sensed that aura just now, I was a little suspicious. I didn't expect you to have come to the sacred mountain as well. Could it be that you've been following my footsteps all along?"

Just as Nan Linghe was lost in thought, the familiar voice that reached her ears sent a shiver down her spine, followed by a sense of peace that came from the depths of her soul.

Even just a single word relaxed Nan Linghe's suppressed heart. When the person's face finally came into view, Nan Linghe couldn't look away for even a moment, wanting only to imprint that person's appearance in his heart.

In the distance, Ye Jie descended from the sky. Compared to when they parted last time, his strength had improved remarkably, and his aura had undergone a complete transformation. He was practically a different person altogether. The only thing that remained unchanged was the joy of their long-awaited reunion on his face.

Li Feie's eyes lit up, but she feigned a huff and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We came here to rid mortals of evil monsters, how did it become following in your footsteps? You really know how to flatter yourself."

"Yeah……"

Ye Jie smiled. Not long ago, he was locked in a fierce battle with Emperor Gouchen. Even the sacred mountain beneath his feet could not withstand the intense aftershocks of their battle. The entire ridge was broken, causing unprecedented damage. For the time being, it was difficult to determine the winner.

However, just as the battle was in full swing, Emperor Gouchen's expression suddenly changed drastically, as if he had discovered something extraordinary. He no longer cared about continuing to fight Ye Jie, and immediately soared into the sky, heading straight for the Ninth Heaven Palace. His figure disappeared without a trace, leaving Ye Jie completely bewildered. On the contrary, a familiar aura from a certain place on the mountain ridge caught Ye Jie's attention, so he immediately came to investigate.
