Chapter 1267: Bidding Farewell (2/2)
Just like that, Li Qiye stood up and looked at the old man to say: “Geezer, this is farewell. Perhaps this will be our last meeting.”
“Take care, d.a.m.ned crow.” The old man responded with a smile.
Li Qiye nodded and turned around without saying anything else.
“Crow!” He didn’t get far before the old man cried out. Li Qiye paused his steps.
The old man sat up straight and put on a solemn expression to say: “There are some legends that you have probably heard about. Once you cross that line and reach a certain threshold, destruction is imminent.”
“It’s not a legend.” Li Qiye became quite austere as well: “It is the truth and I’ll face it even when I have to cross that juncture.”
The old man slowly asked: “Are you prepared?”
“I shall be fearless and fight to the very end when that day comes. As long as I don’t fall, nothing will happen!” His voice resounded in the clouds.
The old man softly sighed and murmured: “The inevitable will come after all. I’m afraid no one will be able to escape.”
“I believe you can.” Li Qiye joked: “Old man, be ready for when it does come. I know you have the power to do so.”
He left after saying this.
The old man sat there in silence. After a very long time, he muttered to himself: “Either the start of a new age or the withering of all...”
He ended with a woeful sigh and disappeared. The garden became extremely quiet. This was an eerie silence. If it wasn’t for the odd flowers and other vegetation here and there, people would mistake this place for a dead zone.

Li Qiye finally returned to the Jian Mansion and was immediately greeted by Jian Longwei and Jian Xiaotie. They bowed before him and said: “Your Excellency.”
“No need for formalities.” Li Qiye waved his hand: “Act as before. I won’t be staying here for too long, I will be leaving after finis.h.i.+ng some matters.”
After hearing this, the two couldn’t do anything except bow their heads again. They hoped that Li Qiye could stay and teach them a thing or two. In their eyes, if they could be taught by the legendary teacher of Immortal Emperors, they would gain lifelong benefits from it.
Jian Xiaotie busily told Li Qiye: “Your Excellency, a few things have happened at Dongting Lake, so Master Hong wishes to see you.”
Li Qiye ordered: “Tell him to come and see me. Dongting Lake has ties with me, so I shall help them.”
A bit later, Hong Tianzhou came running in. He quickly bowed his head after seeing Li Qiye: “Young n.o.ble, things aren’t looking too good. Wyvern and the Bloodshark Village demand an answer from us or else they’ll send in their troops.”
Li Qiye had killed Shangguan Feilong and the Bloodshark Scion. This enraged these two powers, prompting them to demand that the lake hand Li Qiye over. Otherwise, they would crush the lake.
“Send in their troops?” Li Qiye smiled: “Let them come so that their blood can dye the blue ocean red. This shall be a baptism for the sea demons to understand the strength of the human race.”
Hong Tianzhou was shocked after hearing this. He couldn’t help but recall the events at the Peac.o.c.k Land and how terrifying it must have been when a billion fish were sacrificed!
“Wyvern and the Bloodshark Village are nothing.” Jian Xiaotie was stirred. He said: “Give the order, Your Excellency. Our disciples shall trample both of them with haste.”
Hong Tianzhou was stunned after hearing this. Even the Jian Clan was working for Li Qiye? This was simply inconceivable to him.
He calmed down and shuddered before hesitantly speaking: “I heard the Bloodshark Sovereign is a sea G.o.d…”
“Just a false G.o.d.” Jian Longwei replied nonchalantly: “Does he really think he is a sea G.o.d after being recognized by the Trident? If he dares to show himself, I’ll behead him in front of Dongting Lake.”
Jian Longwei declared this in a matter-of-fact manner. This was enough to show the strength of their clan!
