Chapter 1149: Hidden Immortal Hall (2/2)

After hearing Li Qiye’s demand, the War G.o.d Temple asked the ancestors in the Hidden Immortal Hall for their command. Eventually, the temple allowed his entrance.

Li Qiye sat in a treasure seat in the main hall and slowly closed his eyes to better sense the auras in this place. It could be said that it wasn’t easy for someone from the War G.o.d Temple to come here. If an outsider could come, then it would be the fortune of a lifetime.

“Hidden Immortal Hall… Your War G.o.d Temple must have expended an endless amount of effort here.” He finally opened his eyes after a long period of time.

“Despite Your Excellency’s visit, this lowly one cannot stand up to greet you, please excuse me.” An old voice came from the primordial chaos within the hall.

“There’s no need, you should continue your rest.” Li Qiye sat in his chair and stared at the chaos to say in an insipid manner: “You finally figured it out after this long, I guess you’re not too stupid.”

“This lowly one didn’t think that Your Excellency would personally come out in this generation. If the juniors from my temple have offended you, please forgive them.” The old voice came again.

Buried in this hall was the oldest and also the strongest ancestor of the War G.o.d Temple. Back then, the temple asked Li Qiye to prolong his life.

The disciples didn’t know of his existence, only ancestor-level characters did. However, even these ancestors had to call him Old Xian. [1. Xian means immortal, old here can be considered as grandpa or elder as well.]

“Let the past go.” Li Qiye nonchalantly said: “If I wanted to bother with those juniors, you wouldn’t be sleeping here peacefully.”

“Thank you, Your Excellency.” Old Xian replied. Despite being the oldest in the temple, he was still only a junior to the Dark Crow who had been around for countless years.

“There’s no need for such formalities.” Li Qiye said: “My purpose for coming here is simple. I want the item in your Hidden Immortal Hall.”

Old Xian went quiet and didn’t respond for a while. Li Qiye laughed: “I know that this demand is a bit unreasonable and that it’s not easy for you either.”

Old Xian spoke: “Your Excellency knows that this item holds great significance to us. Another way to put it is that it is the only thing that protects our temple.” He felt like begging at this moment. After all, this item was too important for the temple, far too important.

“Yes, I can feel it.” Li Qiye smiled: “It is indeed not an easy matter. I didn’t think that it was possible even back then, but you all succeeded.”

He went on: “After so many years of refinement, you have finally polished this thing to perfection, allowing it to be used with ease — this is quite astonis.h.i.+ng. However, don’t you think this price was too heavy? In these years, you could have produced Immortal Emperors, but instead, all of your efforts went into this.”

Old Xian solemnly replied: “Which is why this lowly one hopes that this item can continue to protect War G.o.d Temple.”

“I won’t take your item for nothing.” Li Qiye chuckled: “If you are willing to trade, I will let your temple benefit from the exchange.”

Old Xian didn’t say anything. This long period of silence made his att.i.tude apparent.

“So in the end, you still can’t give up your beloved item.” Li Qiye was still cheerful: “You should know that I have been quite protective of your temple since you all have done many things for me throughout the years. If it was some other lineage, I wouldn’t need to trouble myself like this and would just take it by force.”

“Earning Your Excellency’s grace is our honor.” Old Xian was still respectful.

“I know you, old geezer, are strong and, with the addition of this thing, are quite confident.” Li Qiye smilingly said: “But if I wanted to seize it, no one would be able to stop me, don’t you think?”

Old Xian sighed and respectfully replied: “No one can stop Your Excellency. As long as you are willing, you can change the world.”

The old man was not completely clueless while he stayed in the chaos. He had heard of recent events. Not to mention how frightening Li Qiye was, just South Emperor, the Middle Continent Princess, and Magu alone were enough to shake their temple.

If it really reached that point, even he couldn’t protect War G.o.d Temple.
