Chapter 1081: Devil Worlds Secret (2/2)

“Thus, both dark cultivators and imperial soldiers only have two options. They will either have to enter the path or platform earlier or be tied to the plateau’s war machine and become Di s.h.i.+’s cannon fodder!”

He continued on: “You are a devil king so you should be able to sense just how powerful the Buddhist Funeral Plateau has become. Think about it carefully or calculate with your fingers, just how much longer will your so-called immortality last?”

Heaven Relinquish started to contemplate at this moment. Perhaps Li Qiye was right. They really didn’t have much time left.

After a while, the devil king looked at Li Qiye and coldly asked: “What do you want to take from the Dark Maxim Palace?”

“This doesn’t concern you.” Li Qiye flatly responded: “You just need to lend me the key.”

“You should know that there is an entry limit. Moreover, you can only take one item.” The king replied.

“I know that after thorough investigations. If I came unprepared, I wouldn’t have asked you for the key.” Li Qiye said.

The Devil King stared at him for a while and formulated another question: “Do you think you will be successful? I don’t think so.”

At this point, he could faintly guess what Li Qiye wanted.

Li Qiye smiled and nonchalantly stated: “I will. Since I was able to become a Devil King and an imperial monarch, I am destined for success in this.”

In the end, the king slowly took out a black key after a long silence: “You can open the Dark Maxim Palace. The key will remain inside and it will naturally return to my hands.”

Li Qiye threw the other item back at the devil king and smiled: “You finally thought it through. This is a good thing. A few items will have no use if left back at the palace because you all will never be able to gather the other things.”

The devil king snorted and put away Li Qiye’s item.

“Wait, I still have a little toy.” Li Qiye smiled and took out the devil prayers from the Wooden Sword Dark Saint and others: “Bring these things along after you climb up there. These are some matters you will have to take care of before leaving this world.”

The king scowled and accepted these wishes. Since this deal was settled, these prayers were only trivial matters, so he was too lazy to bargain with Li Qiye any further.

Li Qiye stood up and said: “What a pity. I still want to know what the Devil Lord told you, but if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you.”

“If you really want to know, you can go ask the Devil Lord yourself.” Heaven Relinquish stated insipidly.

“If that day comes, I will.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “But at that time, whatever he told you will no longer be important because I would know all the secrets already.”

The devil king snorted again, seemingly have lost interest in this matter.

Li Qiye turned around and was about to leave the temple.

“What is your pursuit, your goal?” As he had just stepped out of the door, Heaven Relinquish’s voice came from behind.

Li Qiye stopped and turned around to meet the king’s gaze. The king continued: “You came from the nine worlds with the ability to become a devil king and imperial monarch, allowing you to have immortality! Then what is your pursuit? Treasures? Or is it just to find out the secrets?”

“No.” Li Qiye shook his head and solemnly answered: “I want to kill to the very end. My pursuit is very simple, all I want is an answer!”

With that, he left the ancient temple.

Heaven Relinquish watched his back and after a long while, he finally murmured: “Immortality and the final battle… for what reason? What is waiting for us on the other side? Your Majesty, I hope you have arrived safely.” Once the words came out, the devil king also disappeared, as if he was never here at all.

“Young n.o.ble, are you alright?” The girls outside saw him coming out and quickly came to welcome him after heaving sighs of relief.

He had been in there for quite a long time so they became worried that a fight broke out. Of course, due to their confidence in him, they stood outside and waited without breaking in.

Li Qiye smiled and said: “What can even happen? It was just a small matter so Heaven Relinquish wouldn’t fight me over it. Plus, even if we fought, he wouldn’t have any advantage either.”
