Chapter 13: Chaotic Heart Forest (1) (2/2)
“Since I am already here, I might as well accept the challenge. What is the trial?” Li Qiye preferred Yu He’s att.i.tude a lot more.
“Since your cultivation is not ideal, Our Highness has decided to give you a better chance. The first test will not be combat oriented, but the second will be.”
Yu He continued after a short pause: “The first test is very simple. You will have to go into the Chaotic Heart Forest with one of our disciples; the one that travels the furthest wins. The second test is even simpler; it will be a solo fight to determine the victor. There is also a third test, but you only need to pa.s.s two tests to pa.s.s the trial. The third test consists of—”
Li Qiye cut off the protector: “There's no need to continue, two tests will suffice.”
“How arrogant!” Protector Hua yelled at him for being too arrogant. He started to exert his pressure towards Li Qiye: “The test hasn’t even started yet you want to fight already?”
Li Qiye narrowed his eyes. He found great joy in aggravating people he did not like.
Grand Protector Yu He coughed once again. This cough severed the pressure that Protector Hua was exerting, angering Protector Hua. He could kill Li Qiye by simply lifting his finger. There has never been an insect that dared to talk to him like this before.
“Alright, let us being the tests.” Li Qiye rose from his seat: “Both tests are fine, I want to see the abilities of your princess.”
Xu Hui contemptuously laughed: “You don’t have the qualifications for Senior Li to partic.i.p.ate in person. I will be the one that you will go up against.”
Yu He nodded in agreement: “I heard that you have only recently joined the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. We will not cheat you. If the princess personally delivers the test, you would have no chance at all. Here, when it comes to inner talents and potential, the princess is number one. When it comes to battle capabilities, Junior Leng is the best. If one of them comes to test you, you would claim that it was unfair after failing. Junior Xu Hui has average talents among our inner disciples, so using him to test the prime disciple of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect should not be too demeaning to your status.”
By not sending out their best disciples, the Nine Saint Demon Gate was giving Li Qiye a sliver of hope. If the strongest disciple or Li Shuangyan partic.i.p.ated, then even the six elders would have problems.
Li Qiye didn’t bother to look at Xu Hui. He stared at Yu He and formally said: “If this is the case, then at least your Nine Saint Demon Gate still has some hope. Although you went back on the original promise, you still managed to save a little bit of face and dignity. Fine, since you are allowing me to walk an extra step, I will spare you a yard just so that in the future, you can’t say that I have bullied the sect.”
A character like Yu He had spent many years experiencing everything life had to offer, but when he looked at Li Qiye, it still puzzled him how there could be someone who was this arrogant and confusing. Does he not know of our strength? Does he have zero concept of cultivation levels? Yu He broke his stoic demeanor with a small chuckle: “Go to the Chaotic Heart Forest. The one that can walk the farthest will win.”
Seeing that the test had finally begun, people started going towards the Chaotic Heart Forest. In a split second, the forest was instantly surrounded.
