Chapter 705: Scheme (2/2)

In order to solve the mysteries, Li Qiye spent two days thinking. Meanwhile, Madam Zi Yan didn’t want to disturb him, so she stayed by the door for his protection. It wasn’t until the evening that she left for a moment.

A bit after her departure, Li Qiye finally managed to solve the riddles behind these bolts and revealed a faint smile.

At this time, Tie Yi quickly rushed in and stammered: “Not good, not good.”

“What happened for you to be so alarmed? Is someone chasing you?” Li Qiye slowly asked after seeing the panicking Tie Yi.

The ant quickly responded: “I’m not being chased, but something happened to Madam Zi Yan.”

“What about Zi Yan?” After hearing this, Li Qiye immediately stood up while revealing a fierce glare. She was still outside just a moment ago and it hadn’t been long since she departed.

“She is being surrounded by experts from several great lineages like the Heavenhoof Ravine, the Huangfu Clan, and the Crystallized Sea Sect at a mountain not far from here.” Tie Yi hastily answered.

A terrifying murderous intent appeared in Li Qiye’s fierce glare, causing Tie Yi to s.h.i.+ver next to him. He felt as if Li Qiye resembled a terrifying G.o.d of death with a momentum capable of killing devils and immortals.

“Some people are really tired of living.” Li Qiye slowly said: “Daring to touch my people... It seems that if I am not dyed with blood, some people won’t come to realize what death is.”

Having said that, he immediately left the room. Tie Yi, who was still quivering, suddenly saw a scene of a sea of blood towering into the sky, creating a horrifying spectacle. After calming down, he immediately followed Li Qiye.

On a mountain not far from the valley, Madam Zi Yan was being surrounded by a group of people, the majority consisting gray-haired experts of the previous generation. Their divine rings were out and emitting a bright radiance. All of them had frightening auras.

The Radiant-Sea Alchemy Saint, Heavenhoof Elders, and high elders from the Huangfu Clan… All of them were famous Heavenly Kings from the previous generation. As for the young people present, there were those who stood out, such as the Dragon Princess.

At this time, there were two corpses down by Madam Zi Yan’s feet. They were both young; no one could recognize one of the corpses, but from his clothing, it had to be a disciple from the ravine. The other dead youth was also quite renowned as a young alchemist; he was the person who became enemies with Li Qiye two days ago, the Vinepill King.

However, those two were not killed by the madam. Originally, the madam was protecting Li Qiye inside the valley when she suddenly found something was amiss and immediately gave chase until the valley’s entrance. She noticed that a Heavenhoof disciple was sneaking around with a companion, the Vinepill King.

However, the king was already dead at that time. It only seemed as if they were entering the valley together. This disciple seemed to want to bring the dead king into Li Qiye’s valley, but he didn’t expect to be caught by the madam the moment he made it to the entrance.

He was scared out of his wits the moment he saw the madam and immediately carried the king’s body and ran. They made it to this mountain not far from the valley.

The madam sensed something was amiss and immediately followed them. However, the moment she made it to the mountain, she found that the disciple had been killed as well.

She realized that things were going south. It was an obvious trap so she tried to escape right away, but famous Heavenly Kings like the Alchemy Saint emerged all of a sudden.

She wanted to break through the blockade, but the powerful Heavenly Kings among this group immediately halted her retreat with their collective effort.

There were guests everywhere at Allpine Mountain, so their conflict drew in many people. The moment they saw the group trapping the madam, many of them quivered inside and knew that a big event had occurred.

[spoiler t.i.tle='705 Teaser']“Right, if I remember correctly.” At this time, Li Qiye seemed to recall something and looked at Tie Yi to say: “There is also an item, an amazing item in the Serene Garden. Don’t tell me you didn’t simply go there to ask Caihe for medicines. You also wanted to steal that thing, right?”

“No, no, absolutely not.” Tie Yi immediately denied this accusation: “Young n.o.ble, Fairy Yuan is my savior. I engraved her kindness in the depths of my heart for all eternity, so how could I steal from the Serene Garden?”

“Really now?” Li Qiye remarked in a flat tone while still staring straight at Tie Yi as if he had nowhere to hide.

With Li Qiye’s eyes fixed on him like this, Tie Yi shuddered and lowered his head, forcing out a smile to say: “Haha, I can’t hide it from Young n.o.ble, I really had that thought back then. However, Fairy Yuan is a kind person, a real G.o.ddess. She saw my grave injuries and immediately treated me without any question; she even gave me some incredible medicines. I will always keep this life debt in my heart and will definitely not commit any immoral acts at the Serene Garden.”

“I see.”[/spoiler]
