Chapter 2567: The Culprit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not too long ago, Yun Yanli was surrounded by his people who worshipped him and regarded him as their savior. He was a man who could be proud of his status and what he had achieved in such a short period. But now, in less than 15 minutes, he was the outcast in the city that he owned. Meanwhile, the culprit behind this turn of events was right in front of him! It was none other than Di Fuyi.

To make matters worse, Di Fuyi's parents had ruined his family. He used to be an honorable prince in the Upper Bound, but things took a turn for the worst when Di Fuyi's folks defeated his parents. Now, Di Fuyi himself had ruined his reputation.

"Ha ha ha ha…" Yun Yanli laughed sarcastically as he looked at Di Fuyi with scary red eyes. "Di Fuyi, it's all because of you!" Then, he stretched out his palm, and a long blue sword suddenly appeared. "Let's let us fight to settle all of this once and for all! I have a huge debt to repay you." The hatred between them could only be cleaned with blood. One of them had to die!

Di Fuyi had been faintly glaring at him, but only said a few words in reply, "Good! I will fulfill your wish!"

The fight between these powerful men could easily turn everything within a few miles around them into dust! Hence, Yun Yanli swept through the people around him and said coldly, "Go away!"

Everyone looked at each other and slowly retreated.

Meanwhile, Di Fuyi squinted and them and faintly said, "There is no need." He waved his hand and set a wizardry barrier around him. Only Yun Yanli and Di Fuyi were inside the wizardry barrier. Therefore, the others around them would remain unaffected.

The wizardry barrier was almost transparent, but everyone could still see it. Perhaps, due to its transparency, everyone still felt unsafe being too close to it. Hence, none of the common people came too close to the barrier. Only Gu Xijiu, Feng Ruhuo, and the rest of the guardians of the Devil Kingdom were watching from closeby. Of course, the young palace master also stayed nearby.

Yun Yanli could not help but take a look at the people standing at the walls of the barrier; his eyes suddenly flashed with sorrow. The people who were willing to stay close to the barrier were only those who genuinely cared about their leader. There were more than ten people who were there for Di Fuyi; however, only one person seemed to be on Yun Yanli's side, which was the young palace master.

The poor man did not realize that he was still wearing his wedding attire, which was a happy and lively color. However, the colors complete contradicted his current mood, where he felt depressed and lonely.

Who had he worked hard for? Unfortunately, the person he loved did not love him back. He sincerely wanted to marry her and tried to give her the best that he could. Everything was carefully prepared, but now it was all just a joke.

He took an opportunity to glance at Gu Xijiu, who was now in her original appearance thanks to Di Fuyi. Yun Yanli could see that she was entirely focused on Di Fuyi and that she was not concerned for him at all. Subconsciously, he heaved a sigh of disappointment. Perhaps, it was time for him to wake up from his dream! It was time for him to let go.

Suddenly, he looked up and laughed. "Di Fuyi, we will not stop fighting until one of us is dead!" He then charged forward toward Di Fuyi to start the battle.

…

Gu Xijiu stood just outside the barrier, watching the two of them intensely. The two fighters moved swiftly, and each of their moves was a dazzling sight. Gu Xijiu was still very familiar with Di Fuyi's arsenal of moves. After all, they had been together for so long. In the early stages of the battle, she seemed to be more relieved as she could tell that he had already recovered.

In fact, he was more powerful than he ever was as the Devil King. All of his moves seemed graceful and effortless as if everything came naturally to him.
