As a once first-rate divine alliance of the God Realm, the internal facilities of Great Desolation Valley were still quite impressive.
They were steeped in ancient charm.
Only, the place was extremely sparsely populated.
Aside from the two guards at the entrance, Ye Yu encountered fewer than ten people along the way.
The enormous divine alliance felt incomparably desolate.
After winding through several turns under Sun Shangjin’s lead, they finally arrived at a secluded personal dojo.
“White God, Brother Ye, this is my personal dojo. Please, sit wherever you like!”
As he spoke, Sun Shangjin took out all sorts of ingredients and fine wine from his Storage Ring and placed them on the table.
Little White did not immediately reach out. Instead, it subconsciously looked toward Ye Yu.
Its eyes were filled with confusion.
“Why were you in such a hurry to find Han Yuexi earlier, and now you’re not in a rush at all?
And should I drink this wine or not? Once I start, that’s at least one or two hours gone!”
“Drink. It’s fine.”
Ye Yu reassured it, then sat to one side and began using his divine sense to explore the surrounding environment.
There were indeed very few gods here.
He could only sense a little over twenty auras.
Other than that, he detected no trace of Han Yuexi.
So as not to appear too abnormal, once Sun Shangjin finished arranging everything, Ye Yu decisively lifted the wine cup before him.
Fine wine was the catalyst of camaraderie among men.
With Little White’s introduction, Sun Shangjin’s attitude toward Ye Yu clearly became much warmer.
That was a good thing.
Ye Yu slightly raised his brows, then took advantage of the moment. Together with Little White, they pressed the attack and forced Sun Shangjin to drink more than a dozen cups in succession.
As a Great God Realm god, he naturally had some tolerance.
But even so, his gaze gradually became unfocused.
Seeing that the timing was right, Ye Yu leaned closer and spoke softly.
“Brother Sun, fate truly works in mysterious ways. This morning, as I passed by this place, I sensed a strange fluctuation of divine power. In the afternoon, I came back to take a look, and I happened to meet you. That’s how we ended up sharing this drink. Wouldn’t you say it’s fate?”
“It is fate, it is fate! But what strange fluctuation of divine power? Our Great Desolation Valley is a righteous sect passed down from the Ancient Era. We have absolutely nothing to do with anything strange. Nothing at all!”
Sun Shangjin was already slurring slightly.
Ye Yu continued calmly.
“Well, perhaps not too strange. Just fluctuations of divine power from battle. I was occupied in the morning. In the afternoon, when I passed by again, I simply came to check.
Someone fighting at the entrance of your divine alliance... was it one of your people?”
“It should... probably be? I’ll go ask... ask!”
Sun Shangjin was the type who acted the moment something was mentioned.
If he said he would do something, he did it immediately without delay.
Ye Yu never withheld appreciation for such people.
At this moment, Little White finally understood.
It transmitted with its heart.
“Big Brother, you suspect that the gods of Great Desolation Valley ambushed Han Gu and Han Yuexi?”
Ye Yu nodded, then casually picked up a divine fruit from the table and began eating.
Little White’s expression grew serious.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s just make a move and force them to reveal Han Yuexi’s whereabouts!”
“Force your head. I’m only suspicious, not certain.”
Ye Yu knocked it lightly on the head.
Though he said that, he was already prepared to summon the protectors at any moment.
Little White narrowed its eyes slightly and began praying inwardly.
Xiao Sun... I hope you have nothing to do with this.
Soon, the door was pushed open.
Sun Shangjin stood at the entrance, his gaze still unfocused.
Ye Yu was just about to question him when he suddenly collapsed heavily to the ground.
As Sun Shangjin fell, an unfamiliar goddess appeared outside the door.
She was not particularly tall and wore a veil over her face, obscuring her true features.
Even so, she exuded an inexplicable pressure.
“I am Sun Rumia, Sun Shangjin’s senior sister. I just heard him say that you sensed fluctuations of divine power from battle here? Could it be that you were mistaken? I have been inside the divine alliance the entire time and did not sense any abnormalities.”
Ye Yu’s expression remained calm. After observing her for a moment, he spoke lightly.
“If that is the case, then it seems I misjudged. A misunderstanding. Please forgive the disturbance.”
“There is no need for such formality. Since you are Shangjin’s friend, you are naturally my friend as well.
Originally, I should have invited you to stay for a few days and properly fulfill my duties as a host.
But unfortunately, there will be a ritual within the divine alliance over the next few days. Anyone who is not a member of the alliance is not permitted to remain.
So I truly have no choice but to play the villain.”
Sun Rumia raised her hand in a gesture of invitation.
Her words sounded polite.
But in essence, it meant one thing.
The wine is finished. Please leave at once.
Little White naturally sensed the dismissal, and its expression darkened immediately.
Ye Yu chuckled softly, lifted Little White with one hand, and placed it on his shoulder.
“In that case, we will not disturb you further. Farewell.”
Sun Rumia nodded slightly and remained where she stood, watching as Ye Yu and Little White departed.
The moment they left the divine alliance, a grand formation instantly activated.
It sealed the entire Great Desolation Valley tightly within.
Seeing this, Little White immediately said in displeasure,
“Big Brother, something’s wrong here. Absolutely wrong! The ones who attacked Han Gu and Han Yuexi must be from Great Desolation Valley.
And this so-called ritual? Completely fake! It’s just an excuse to drive us away.
Why don’t we overturn the table and demand they hand her over?”
Ye Yu covered his face with one hand, looking helpless.
“What table are you overturning? And besides, just the two of us against their entire divine alliance? Do you really think we’re invincible?”
Though it wanted to argue, the facts were clear.
Little White was strong.
It could even barely contend head-on with lower Divine Lord Realm experts.
But Great Desolation Valley had a long legacy. Who knew whether some hidden old monster was lurking within?
If such a figure existed, barging in recklessly would be suicide.
“So this won’t work and that won’t work. Big Brother, what do we do then? Are we just going to sit here doing nothing?”
After speaking, Little White lifted the wine jug it had swiped from Sun Shangjin and began drinking again.
“Sitting idle is not an option. We’ll have to perform a little play together.”
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked toward Great Desolation Valley.
Meanwhile, within the valley.
Sun Rumia arrived outside the main hall, respectfully kneeling on one knee.
“Reporting to the Alliance Master, the two external gods have been sent away.
They seemed to know something and even used the excuse of sensing battle fluctuations to probe Sun Shangjin.
Fortunately, I discovered it in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
