Chapter 69: Scheming (1) (1/2)

Regarding Li Qiye’s request, the other elders remained silent. However, Cao Xiong immediately yelled: “Presumptuous and abusive for personal gains! This matter, the sect will never allow!”

Emperor merit laws; these were exclusive for the elders. Even a protector wouldn’t be able to practice a core Emperor merit law. Currently, a third generation disciple wanted to cultivate a core Emperor merit law… Cao Xiong was naturally discontent.

Li Qiye glanced at him, and he slowly said: “Elder Cao, if you personally find and bring back a core Emperor merit law, not mentioning your disciples, even if your grand disciple wanted to practice this core Emperor merit law, I would still agree. Ah, I forgot, Elder Cao currently had lost your disciples, let alone a grand disciple.”

These words of Li Qiye seemingly pierced Cao Xiong; his face immediately became dark and twisted. He stood up, and he screamed: “Little animal, do you want to die?!”

First Elder Gu Tieshou thunderously roared: “Little Brother Cao.”

“Qiye is only a little child; there is no need to stoop down to his level!” In the past, Cao Xiong didn’t think highly of Gu Tieshou in his mind. However, now he knew that the first elder was not only a Royal n.o.ble, but he was an experienced one at that. Moreover, he was also cultivating the Kun Peng’s Six Variants which Cao Xiong dreaded facing. He definitely was not a match for Gu Tieshou.

Cao Xiong bitterly said: “Older Brother Gu, you are way too condoning of this animal! He sooner or later will be the calamity of our sect!”

“Children don’t think before they speak; Brother Cao, you don’t need to mind his words.” At this moment, Gu Tieshou was clearly partial towards Li Qiye. Even the other four elders were on his side; this caused Cao Xiong’s heart to be hateful.

Regarding Li Qiye’s request, after some deliberations by the elders, they agreed; thus, they told Li Qiye: “Since you want to use your contribution to back this matter, after our debate, we have decided to grant your request. Protector Mo has been loyal and with us for so long, and his loyalty is without question; he will be allowed to cultivate the Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law. As for Nan Huairen, ah, he can also cultivate it, but not now. After a few years of trials; if there aren’t any problems, he will be allowed to cultivate this method.”

No one could surpa.s.s Elder Sun’s current cheerful mood; Protector Mo was his disciple and Nan Huairen was his grand-disciple. Now that they have the qualification to practice the Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law, as their master, how could he not be happy?

Cao Xiong’s heart was full of hatred to the point of rage. Currently, he almost became an isolated loner. His disciples Protector Hu and Leng s.h.i.+zhi both died at the hands of Li Qiye, and he regretted not being able to cut Li Qiye into pieces. However, at this important moment, Li Qiye had contributed greatly, and he became an important person, one to be heavily nurtured; he was protected by the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, so it would be difficult for him to get revenge for his disciples.

After hearing the message, Protector Mo and Nan Huairen were left without words. At this moment, they recalled that Li Qiye had said that within a year, they would be able to cultivate the Violet Yang Ten Sun Merit Law. They didn’t think this matter would come so early, it felt like a dream.

Currently, they felt that the day they chose to follow Li Qiye, it was the wisest decision they have made in their entire lives. At that moment, if other people knew about it, they would have laughed and called them crazy. A protector following a third generation disciple, a mortal one on top of that.

Currently, through their efforts, they were reaping the results. Li Qiye had always been generous to his loyal followers!

After Nan Huairen had received the order, he and his master went to meet Li Qiye with their excitement at its peak: “Older Brother, how did you do it?”

Li Qiye opened with a smile and said: “It was only a small matter; it was not difficult.”

Nan Huairen was completely ecstatic. An Emperor merit law! Ah!! And a core Emperor merit law at that!!! This would cause others to be reddened with greed. He asked: “Older Brother, you, how did you find an Emperor merit law? Was it really the Patriarch in your dreams?”

The Dao instruction within a dream was sealed off by the upper echelon of the sect. Nan Huairen only knew because his grand master, Elder Sun, told him about it.

Li Qiye smilingly asked: “Does lying to you do me any good?”

“I can’t repay all the favors you have done for me. As long as you command it, I will do anything you want without batting an eyelid.”

Li Qiye glared at him and replied: “Sucking up once again?! Humph! If you weren’t loyal to me, would I be rewarding you with an Emperor merit law?”

Being yelled at by Li Qiye, Nan Huairen didn’t mind, and he only laughed. As for Protector Mo, he was the type of person that was without many words, and he was not good in social politeness. He only turned towards Li Qiye and deeply bowed without saying another word.

Li Shuangyan, who was considered a maid of Li Qiye, simply maintained the cool eye of a bystander. Even till today, outside of silence, she was still silent. No matter what had happened recently, she was just watching as a spectator.
