Chapter 656: The Huangfu Clans Vengeance (2/2)
In addition, Li Qiye hadn’t shown his cultivation to Ancient Pine. Li Qiye was extremely young, so despite Li Qiye’s supreme dao of alchemy, Ancient Pine believed that he was but an insect before a Virtuous Paragon.
Li Qiye lazily smiled and said: “So what if it is a Virtuous Paragon? Even a G.o.dking would only come to seek his death. Leave this trivial matter to me.”
Ancient Pine was completely speechless at this time. These words were even more preposterous and audacious! G.o.dkings were existences at the top of the nine heavens, individuals who were capable of sweeping through the world! But now, Li Qiye dared to make such a reckless statement. How could Ancient Pine reply to this?
If it was someone else, Ancient Pine would already have berated him for this ignorance. Although he didn’t dare to yell at Li Qiye right now, he still felt that Li Qiye was a bit too unreasonable.
And so, he turned to the madam for an answer. She pondered for a moment then stared at Li Qiye before slowly speaking: “Do you really think we don’t need to invite an ancestor?”
“Since when have I told a lie?” Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh and say: “Don’t worry, with me here, Virtuous Paragons are merely clouds in the sky. If the Huangfu Clan is too dumb to scram, then even if they have the Alchemy Kingdom as their backing, I will still exterminate their clan to their very roots!” Having said that, his eyes narrowed.
The Giant Bamboo Country had a special position in his heart, so if the Huangfu Clan dared to touch this country, he didn’t mind ma.s.sacring their whole clan!
Those who dared to offend the Giant Bamboo Country would be killed without mercy! This was one of his uncrossable bottom lines.
Madam Zi Yan slightly nodded and formally said: “Since you have such confidence… Very well then, we’ll leave this for you to deal with.”
Although she did feel that his words were somewhat arrogant, her intuition told her that Li Qiye was not the type to bl.u.s.ter. In fact, all of his actions seemed to be premeditated, so she had faith in him.
“Your Majesty...” Ancient Pine was startled by Madam Zi Yan’s decision. To say that the country was being encroached by an army right in front of their gates was not an exaggeration. Right now, the Huangfu Ancestor was right outside, but their lord was leaving this catastrophe to Li Qiye and didn’t even invite an ancestor, so how could he not be scared out of his skin?
Over the years, Madam Zi Yan had been a great ruler. All of her decisions had been admirable, but now, Ancient Pine, who was counting on her to resolve this dispute, didn’t expect for her to throw this matter over to Li Qiye.
“Demon Monarch, summon all the other monarchs. This time, all the problems will be personally dealt with by Young n.o.ble Li. All monarchs and disciples must follow his orders.” Madam Zi Yan slowly declared. Although she was not very loud, her voice carried a powerful resonation that left no room for questions.
Ancient Pine paused for a moment but didn't say anything in the end. He left and carried out the order. To him, although this decision was a bit crazy and could even be said to be insane, he still chose to follow Madam Zi Yan’s command.
After Ancient Pine left, Li Qiye asked with a smile while looking at the madam: “It seems that you have a lot of confidence in me, ah?”
The madam couldn’t help but meet his gaze and softly say: “Are you confident in this?” These words were very gentle and pleasant like soft water that could drown listeners in pleasure.
Li Qiye looked at the madam and smilingly stated: “I like women like you.”
This response caught her off guard. Once she composed herself, she smiled back at him. Of course, she was not misunderstanding Li Qiye’s intent. She didn’t feel that he was teasing her or taking advantage of her.
At this moment, she believed that Li Qiye had no need to take advantage of her. With his att.i.tude, it seemed as if even the G.o.ddess of all nine heavens would not be much to him. Even the fairies from myriad domains would wish for his loving embrace.
He was the most confident and indifferent person she had ever met.
The moment the monarchs received her order, they all stood there while looking silly. One monarch couldn’t help but say: “This, this is a bit too crazy.”
“Perhaps... this is Her Majesty giving Young n.o.ble Li a chance to gain more experience.” Another monarch replied.
This speculation made the monarchs looked at each other. This made a bit of sense since if Li Qiye were to rule the country in the future, he must experience storms such as this to hone his skill.
Despite their skepticism, they eventually carried out her order and gathered around, awaiting Li Qiye’s command.
Seeing the eighteen monarchs sitting there while waiting for his orders, Li Qiye couldn’t help but smile wryly. He shook his head to say: “It’s only a little matter, there is no need to make such a big deal out of it.”
Madam Zi Yan didn’t reveal her stance on this situation while the monarchs remained silent. Their extremely dangerous predicament was not exaggerated at all since they were under siege by a Virtuous Paragon ancestor. But now, Li Qiye was saying that it was only a minor matter... This was the most indifferent person they had ever met!
