Chapter 540: Competition (1/2)

Chapter 540: Compet.i.tion

The Jadewater Queen was the person who went the furthest for the time being, so her credibility was very high.

After hearing her words, a person excitedly spoke while slapping their thigh: “Just like what I speculated, how far one walks into the pond has nothing to do with cultivation!”

Meanwhile, Li Qiye only smiled at the Phoenix Maiden’s challenge and said: “No big deal. Taking dozens of steps would still be easy. All challengers, come forth. The losers will disappear, and if I lose, I will hand the Prime Ominous Key to the winner.”

How could Li Qiye refuse a challenge when the enemy came to his doorstep?

Li Qiye’s words caused the ghost cultivators to clamor and stare at him. He was like a fat piece of meat that everyone wanted a bite of.

“Who’s first?” Li Qiye looked at the Phoenix Maiden and slowly asked: “You?”

“Let me challenge you.” However, a sneer suddenly came about as the Ghost Insect Evil Child walked forward and smiled ominously: “If you lose, then hand over the key and get the h.e.l.l out of here. The treasures of this place belongs to us, members of the ghost race!”

“Count me in!” Another person stood out and went together with the Evil Child. Of course, this was the t.i.tanic Crescent Saint Child.

“You guys only managed to take eight and nine steps, yet you still want to challenge me?” Li Qiye was too lazy to look at them as he commented: “Your confidence is too unreasonable.”

“The winner has yet to be decided, so don’t act this arrogant so quickly!” The Saint Child said as he sneered; he was full of confidence.

Everyone knew that the Saint Child and Evil Child only took eight and nine steps respectively, but now, everyone was shaken to see them so full of confidence. They realized that these two didn’t try their best earlier.

Li Qiye glanced at the two of them and smirked: “Are you two representing your sects or the ghost race?”

“If I lose, then my sect will withdraw.” The t.i.tanic Crescent Saint Child answered slowly: “If any sects or tribes wish to follow my sect, then we will share the treasures that are obtained!”

The Ghost Insect Evil Child also added: “Yes! Same goes for our Insect King Lineage.”

Their actions had been approved by the seniors of the two lineages, which was why they were able to speak so freely.

Geniuses like the Saint Child and Evil Child were unlucky to be born in the same era as the three heroes. Especially because of Di Zuo, who was greatly valued by many great powers; most of these great powers tended to support him.

Right now, these two wanted to borrow Li Qiye to increase their own prestige as well as re-establis.h.i.+ng their sects’ position in the Misty Field and Green River.

Some great powers from the ghost race decided to reveal their position: “We are willing to stand together with the Insect King Lineage!”

“We are willing to stand together with the t.i.tanic Crescent Saint Child!”

Many of them voiced their support for the two emperor’s lineages.

The Insect King Lineage had a very prestigious position in the western Green River, and the t.i.tanic Crescent Sacred Ground was also famous in the northern Misty Field. Recently, Di Zuo and Li Qiye were like kites who met the right wind, so many forgot about geniuses like the Evil Child and Saint Child. But now, if these two managed to rise up and gain the support of these great powers, then it would be killing two birds with one stone for the two emperor’s lineages.

Not only did their actions have a chance to seize the Prime Ominous Key from Li Qiye, this was also an attempt to gauge their supporters in their regions.

The sect masters and royal lords present were not stupid. They knew that this battle had no place for them. Eventually, the final victor to obtain the key would most likely be an emperor’s lineage, so they knew that they had to show their support towards these lineages first.

“Interesting.” The Jadewater Queen murmured to herself after seeing this scene.

Right now, the challenge was no longer a feud between Li Qiye and the ghost race, it was also a political contest among the ghost race. The one who created this situation was, of course, the Divine Spark Phoenix Maiden!

At this point, many looked at Li Qiye and the two descendants. The Evil Child and Saint Child had always been referred to as geniuses by people. They had extremely high talents but were still far from supreme geniuses like Di Zuo.

Nevertheless, some ghost tribes were still optimistic with their chance against Li Qiye in this challenge.
