Chapter 1072: Azure Mysterious Eight Ancestors (2/2)

Such words were full of disdain for the ancient kingdom. However, the present was completely different from the past; who would dare to mock Fiercest Li Qiye nowadays?

Shen Menghui’s expression turned ugly at Li Qiye’s response. How could he, the kingdom’s successor, quell this anger rising from inside?

“Sir, our kingdom is a lineage with two emperors, not just anyone can knead it or take a bite.” His cold expression was accompanied by a tough att.i.tude.

“A lineage with two emperors is nothing to be proud of.” Mei Suyao slowly interjected. Her demeanor was natural without any arrogance. She simply used the most ordinary tone to state the truth.

Alas, she was still transcendent and extraordinary, like a fairy lost in the mortal world. Her words were as pleasant as immortal hymns, but her plain response left people breathless. Who could act arrogant after hearing Mei Suyao say this? Regardless of their own n.o.ble upbringing and background, they were not worth mentioning compared to Mei Suyao’s own.

Not to mention that she was from the Eternal River School, a sect with three emperors, she herself was enough to carry herself with pride across the land. In the eyes of many, the low-profile Mei Suyao was even more powerful than Jikong Wudi!

They naturally felt that she was qualified to make such a statement. Moreover, her words were without embellishment or underlying intents.

Shen Menghui was tongue-tied by her claim. He felt his face burning like he'd been slapped.

“Kill.” Li Qiye lowered his glare and commanded: “Kill anyone who tries to save him as well.”

Shen Menghui’s expression took a turn for the worse. He was currently riding a tiger and had to follow through with saving the disciple. However, not to mention Li Qiye, he wasn’t even a match for Mei Suyao standing in front of him. The wiser choice, alas, would leave him with a stained reputation.

“Who dares to kill my kingdom’s disciple!” At this second, eight figures descended from the sky. A terrifying aura swept through the world, causing people to shudder uncontrollably.

The eight old men immediately stood in front of Shen Menghui. They were quite aged and didn’t have much time left, but the auras exuding from their bodies were still quite formidable.

Someone blurted out: “Azure Mysterious nine ancestors, no, eight ancestors.”

The crowd quickly created a gap between themselves and these old men because they knew a battle was about to begin.

“Ancestors…” Shen Menghui was ecstatic to see the eight ancestors and became relieved.

The ancient kingdom had a group referred to as the Nine Ancestors. These were nine extremely powerful beings. Of course, it didn’t include the most powerful one, the Divine Ancestor.

However, there were only eight left in this group because back at the Heavenly Corpse Burial Ground, the eighth ancestor died to Li Qiye’s hands.

It was precisely for this reason that the two sides had an irreconcilable feud.

“You are Li Qiye…” One of the eight ancestors coldly glared at Li Qiye who was sitting haughtily on his palanquin.

“And?” Li Qiye gave him a look.

Another ancestor threatened: “Junior, it is not too late to let go of our disciple. Otherwise, you shall suffer the consequences.”

The ancestors naturally wanted to kill Li Qiye. However, they weren’t completely confident.

Li Qiye didn’t want to waste his breath with these ancestors and commanded: “Too much nonsense, kill him.”

The eight ancestors weren’t happy with this response. They were famous characters that were treated with respect no matter where they went, but right now, even though they were personally here, Li Qiye didn’t give them any consideration at all. It was simply a slap to their faces.

“G.o.ddess Mei, you must think twice.” Another of the eight ancestors stepped up and raised his voice.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. The crowd moved even further away from the inevitable battlefield. Once they were at a safe distance, their apprehension turned into an eagerness to watch the fight that caught the breath in their throats.
