Chapter 438: Immortal Moon Margin (2/2)

Despite mentally preparing herself and knowing that what Li Qiye called “earth-shattering” would absolutely not be bad, hearing the words “Immortal Emperor Life Treasure” still left her heart beating rapidly.

An emperor’s Life Treasure was something outside of the Snow-shadow Tribe’s reach. Even great powers did not necessarily have one, let alone a small tribe like theirs. It could be considered a supreme and priceless treasure.

She didn’t dare to accept such a treasure: “This… It is too valuable.” An Immortal Emperor Life Treasure could cause fellow brothers to turn on each other and force master and disciple to slay each other.

“Take it.” Li Qiye calmly smiled: “This is your reward for catching the Yang Nightfish.”

Li Qiye could give a real Immortal Emperor Life Treasure to someone else, let alone the Half-moon Immortal.

Qiurong Wanxue couldn’t help but stand there in a daze. Just what kind of person would be so carefree about an emperor’s Life Treasure? Not to mention her, even the descendants from emperor’s lineages would not be so nonchalant when dealing with items of this magnitude.

All the geniuses and experts from the previous generation greatly valued emperor’s Life Treasures and considered them a lifeline. Li Qiye, on the other hand, couldn’t care less and immediately gifted it away like it was nothing.

Suddenly, before they could put some distance between them and the Ghost Fate Sect, tendrils of smoke suddenly condensed before them as a figure appeared to block their path.

“Ye Sha!” Qiurong Wanxue exclaimed after seeing the person that suddenly arrived. She took a step back and knew that the matter was not good after seeing his expression.

Ye Sha gazed at them as if they were mere lambs: “I heard you guys obtained a decent treasure?”

Qiurong Wanxue was panicking while Li Qiye remained calm. Li Qiye then slowly spoke: “Your information gathering is pretty fast.”

Ye Sha had just come back to the ferry in order to test his luck again, but after hearing that Li Qiye’s group found a treasure, he quickly gave chase.

“Hahaha, it seems that this treasure was meant for me.” Ye Sha deviously smiled: “I’ll pay three Yang Nightfish for the treasure in your hand.”

Qiurong Wanxue’s expression greatly soured. What kind of exchange was this? This was clearly robbery!

Li Qiye remained unperturbed and grinned: “What if I don’t want to sell?”

Ye Sha coldly glared at him: “Human Junior, maybe you don’t know who I am, but I’ll give you some advice anyway. Be smart and sell it. At the very least, you will get three fish. If not, your corpses will be lost in the wilderness.”

“You are right.” Li Qiye nodded his head in agreement: “Someone’s corpse will definitely be lost in the wilderness, but it will be your corpse, not ours.”

“Foolish Thing, you’re only making this hard for yourself!” Ye Sha’s eyes revealed a murderous glint as his expression darkened: “Very well, I will just save three fish. It is not a small amount.”

“Is that so?” Li Qiye responded with a relaxed air: “Be smart and hand over all of your treasures, or else I will flay your flesh piece by piece.”

“You’re courting death!” Ye Sha angrily exclaimed. Today, a human junior dared to humiliate him and incited his murderous intent.

Ye Sha wanted to attack, but suddenly, buddhist chants appeared: “Amitabha, oh merciful Buddha.” A monk descended from the sky and said: “No wonder why the murderous air is so dense here. Benefactor Ye Sha, I am here.” [3. Reminder, “benefactor” here is just what monks call everyone else, he doesn’t owe Ye Sha anything.]

The moment Ye Sha saw this monk, his expression quickly changed. A dense fog surrounded him as he wanted to quickly escape.

The monk didn’t give chase and merely warned him with a smile: “Benefactor Ye Sha, you can escape from the monk but not from the temple.” [4. This looks to be a modified version of this phrase — the monks can escape, but the temples won’t be able to escape. So in this modified version, temple stands for justice/buddhist faith. Of course, this is just my interpretation of this particular version.]

However, Ye Sha didn’t dare to stop. He ran quite a distance away as if he had seen his nemesis.

[spoiler t.i.tle='438 Teaser']In just a moment, Li Qiye dashed forward and dragged out a trunk from the river.

“Cras.h.!.+” A skeletal scorpion flew out from the river with its extremely sharp tail stabbing at Li Qiye with lightning speed.

Li Qiye smiled and met the skeleton as both of his hands grabbed onto its tail.

“Snap!” Before the stinger could reach Li Qiye, it had already been torn in half by him.

“Such strength!” Many cultivators were shocked at how easy it was for Li Qiye to subdue the skeleton.[/spoiler]
