Chapter 973: Thunder Tower Lord

The tower lord was rumored to be one of the most powerful ancestors of Crimson Night. He had guarded the tower for many years. n.o.body actually knew how long he had been here for!

The only thing people knew was that very few could see him. Even Chi Zixian, their descendant, couldn’t easily gain an audience with him.

But now, the tower lord was moving to save Chi Zixian from Li Qiye.

Everyone watched very closely at this moment; they weren’t willing to miss out on the tiniest of details.

“The human brat is dead for sure.” A Blood expert cruelly guffawed. He was excitedly waiting for Li Qiye to die to the tower lord!

Only Li Qiye remained nonchalant on the martial stage. He slowly sat down on the imperial throne and smiled: “The lord of the Thunder Tower — I’m afraid you aren’t qualified to have this t.i.tle.”

“The ma.s.ses gave me this t.i.tle.” The tower lord answered: “Young friend, I see that you are a rare genius. This time, just admit your mistakes to our kingdom and we’ll let all of this go. How about it?”

Everyone was surprised to hear this. They all a.s.sumed that the tower lord would kill Li Qiye, who would have thought that the tower lord would forgive him so easily?

Li Qiye leisurely answered while relaxing on the throne: “A bit interesting. Crimson Night finally produced a discerning person. Although you are not qualified to be the Thunder Tower Lord, the kingdom was right to let you guard the tower due to the virtue of your vision.”

Such arrogant words astounded the spectators. But of course, the tower lord’s perception far exceeded ordinary experts. After seeing Li Qiye’s speed, he immediately knew that Li Qiye was training the Soaring Immortal Physique. In the nine worlds, anyone who could cultivate an Immortal Physique would be an unfathomable character!

“Young friend, the Crimson Night Kingdom sincerely wishes to let this go. Just admit your mistakes and let our disciple return, then everything will end.” The tower lord spoke.

“No—” Chi Zixian interjected with a serious tone: “Ancestor, this guy and the wh.o.r.e conspired to kill our disciples. They cannot be forgiven! Without killing them, we can’t calm the anger in our disciples’ hearts!”

“Ancestor, this disciple was asked by Ancestor Storm G.o.d to try them in order to obtain justice for the Supreme Elder and the Crimson Night Duke! Please lend me a hand to take him down!” Chi Zixian finally regained her aggressive momentum.

Once the tower lord came out, even the six paragons didn’t dare to utter a single word. Although they were of the ancestor level as well, there was a huge disparity between them and the tower lord. They were only juniors of juniors compared to him.

Among them, only Chi Zixian dared to act so fearlessly because her backer, the Storm G.o.d, was not afraid of the Thunder Tower Lord.

The tower lord did not respond, causing her to look stiff. She had no choice but to follow through in this precarious situation. If she couldn’t kill Li Qiye and Si Yuanyuan, then all of her efforts would have been for naught.

“To tell the truth, there is no saving the kingdom when they pick a descendant like you, someone who is foolish to a subhuman level. It is simply incredible that you even managed to reach your position.” Li Qiye looked at her and smiled.

Chi Zixian solemnly spoke: “Little animal, surrender now or I’ll kill this wretch!” With that, a sword with a cold aura was placed on Si Yuanyuan’s neck. [1. This is vague. I don’t know if she is the one placing the sword on Si Yuanyuan’s neck or someone else.]

Ye Chuyun took a step forward with a serious demeanor, intending to save Si Yuanyuan. However, Chi Zixian sneered: “Ye Chuyun, don’t try anything funny. The shackles on her are incredible treasures. Touch her and she’ll be ground to a pulp!”

Ye Chuyun immediately stopped, not daring to make any careless moves.

“Enough!” A cold voice emerged. A person set foot in the area and commanded: “Release her then kneel!”

Everyone was startled by this newcomer. It was a woman wearing a white dress. She had a mask that hid her face and emitted an aura as cold as ice.

This person coming out of nowhere and ordering Chi Zixian left the crowd puzzled. No one recognized who she was or why she suddenly gave the order.

Of course, only Li Qiye recognized this person. She was the Winter Matron, one of the four Skymatrons of the Blood Race!

“Who are you!” Chi Zixian coldly asked: “You aren’t the one calling the shots around here!”

“Pop!” Before Chi Zixian could finish, the Winter Matron’s hand reached out and blew her away, spilling her blood.
