Chapter 11: Arrogance (1) (1/2)
Although Nan Huairen was not a genius, he was not without skill. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a hall master among all the other disciples. He had read the “Invisible Dual Blades” manual before. In his eyes, it was only a normal martial technique, but in Li Qiye’s hands, it had a fearful offensive power.
He carefully looked at Li Qiye. As a wily person, he was capable of discerning characteristics and emotions from a person at a glance. However, he could not see through the thirteen-year-old Li Qiye in front of him. Thirteen years of age was when youths joined a sect; it was still an age where they would be emotionally provocable. However, Li Qiye possessed a calm aura that was as deep as an ocean. It was difficult to describe with words.
His Mortal physique, Mortal life wheel, and Mortal fate palace made the elders and Nan Huairen doubt him. In reality, Nan Huairen thought that Li Qiye had a mental illness during their first contact, a mental illness that made one act arrogant and carefree under all circ.u.mstances. However, after these last few days, he was starting to understand that arrogance and calmness were naturally a part of who Li Qiye was.
“This is a big disaster!” Protector Mo panicked since he was without a solution: “The trial is over! We have to return to our sect!”
Staying here right now was the same as lingering in a lion’s den or a dragon’s cave. The only thought in his mind right now was to flee.
“It is only a small matter, why do we have to run?” As the culprit, Li Qiye was lazily sitting in his chair. He slowly spoke: “To me, there is no place safer than the Nine Saint Demon Gate.”
Protector Mo angrily glared at Li Qiye. He really wanted to slap him a few times. However, he then remembered that a disaster was approaching and lost all of his desire to teach this brat a lesson.
“What do you know!” Someone who was normally reserved and quiet like Protector Mo couldn’t help but reprimand Li Qiye: “Do you think you are peerless under the heavens after you got lucky in killing Du Yuanguang? You don’t know the strength of the Nine Saint Demon Gate. Not to mention the Demon King, even an elder is enough to deal with our six elders. The Nine Saint Demon Gate destroying us is akin to killing an ant.”
The words were humble but realistic. In reality, if the six elders were to be given t.i.tles, they would only be Named Heroes, equivalent to the Nine Saint Demon Gate’s protectors. The elders in the Nine Saint Demon Gate were all Royal n.o.bles at the very least, and the Demon King was one that had created countless miracles and legends in the last thirty thousand years. His strength was deep without a ceiling.
“My dear Protector Mo, do not worry yourself.” Li Qiye spoke in an aloof manner: “If this was anywhere else, I would be a bit troubled, but we're here at the Nine Saint Demon Gate. We will see who will kill who. Named Heroes? Royal n.o.bles? Those fools can’t reach the apex!”
“You…”: Protector Mo was at a loss for words. This little kid just said that Named Heroes and Royal n.o.bles couldn’t reach the apex when their elders were only Named Heroes.
At this very moment, something sounded outside. Nan Huairen’s expression instantly soured. He went out to check and quickly ran back inside while screaming with horror: “Not good! There is a blockade outside of the building!”
A crowd entered the building, led by Sectional Leader Fu. His expression, right now, was very ugly.
Seeing Fu’s expression, Protector Mo knew that one couldn't hide from the sun forever. He took a deep breath and went to greet him: “Brother Fu, this is only a little misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding? Then you can explain it to our junior, Xu Hui!”
Sectional Leader Fu stood to the side and a young man came next to him.
This young man wore golden robes. His body was surrounded by a b.l.o.o.d.y aura and a translucent golden light was situated above his head. He was only twenty, but his aura was already formidable.
