Chapter 560: Di Zuo Waits For The Battle (2/2)

From this, it was easy to tell that the love between them was deep despite not having an official ceremony.

He stood there day by day without asking anything. He let go of treasure-hunting and training in the Prime Ominous Grave as he waited for a life and death battle with Li Qiye.

Today, the Ancestral Mountain had also arrived. All the great powers retreated at its sight since any of them would tremble before this throne-like mountain from the Myriad Bones Throne.

It descended quietly yet still carried a grand and solemn atmosphere. No one knew how many experts and ancestors they brought along, but the mountain itself was enough. This mysterious mountain represented the throne’s prestige and was enough to cause all the powers to be wary.

More days went by as the water fish and turtle slowly went away. The whirlpool in the middle of the pond seemed as if it would close at any time.

A few people lost their patience, especially the young ghost cultivators. They really wanted to see Di Zuo take care of Li Qiye. One of them couldn’t help but sneer: “Hmph! Maybe that human ant Li Qiye is too afraid to show his face so he is turtled up in his lair.”

In the recent times, they had been suppressed by Li Qiye so they wanted nothing more than to see Di Zuo teach Li Qiye a lesson.

At the same time, the ghost cultivators from the previous generation were worried about something else as opposed to the impatient young ones. A royal lord spoke with jealousy: “Since Li Qiye has entered for quite some time, maybe he obtained a big fortune from the tales just like Immortal Emperor Di Yu.”

“It doesn’t matter what big fortune he got since in the end, he won’t be able to escape death.” Another sect master was also jealous of this possibility, so he snorted and said: “No one will be able to come help Li Qiye. The elders and masters of the river sect are trapped in the Hundred Saints Imperial Formation, so who would be able to help him?”

Many instinctively looked at the formation hovering in the sky after being reminded of this. Their hearts felt another chill just by looking at these gigantic deity-like saints.

Ever since the river sect’s people were sucked into the formation, there wasn’t a single sign of activity from within. It was as if all of them had died inside.

At this point, the cultivators of all races s.h.i.+vered with fear. This was the Thousand Carp River, an extremely powerful emperor’s lineage. Daoist Bao Gui’s group were famous experts back in the southern Distant Cloud. Their elders also included Heavenly Sovereigns and Heavenly Kings.

Such a powerful team was actually suppressed this easily by Di Zuo. This not only demonstrated his strength, it also indicated the throne of bones’ might!

Many ghost cultivators had trouble breathing in such an oppressive atmosphere. One of them nervously asked: “Will he be able to kill Li Qiye?”

This worry was reasonable. Recently, Li Qiye had been too mighty; he had swept through everything, and no one had been able to halt his steps. Even Tian Lunhui lost to him in the most recent bet. One should know that Tian Lunhui was just as notorious as Di Zuo.

A senior cultivator told this disciple: “It no longer matters how strong Li Qiye is since only death awaits him once he returns. Even if he beats Di Zuo, he will still die because the throne of bones will not spare him. No one can save him now since his enemy is Di Zuo, the throne of bones, and even the entire ghost race. He alone won’t be able to prevent his inevitable demise.”

Even more days pa.s.sed by with Di Zuo standing still by the pond. With the pa.s.sage of time, his aura didn’t diminish and instead became even more powerful. It felt like a storm tearing apart the heaven and earth and was untouchable by any of the cultivators near the pond.

Eventually.... “Splas.h.!.+”

Li Qiye finally left the whirlpool in the middle of the pond with Lan Yunzhu in tow.

Di Zuo’s eyes became as sharp as a divine spear the moment he saw the two appear. This sharp glare went straight through the entire pond, causing even the water to stir.

“They finally came out!” An ancestor from a great power shouted when he saw them appear in the pond.

After hearing this, the atmosphere suddenly became lively once more as the oppressive atmosphere was lifted. All the cultivators from the races became alert, and those who were sitting or lying down stood up at once.
