Chapter 1505: A Shocking Battle (2/2)
Such a frightening pair of eyes made everyone shudder. Even though they were fixated on Li Qiye, everyone felt that they would have nightmares due to this ominous foreboding.
In just one night, this news took Heaven Spirit by a storm. Meng Zhentian, the Prince of Darkness, the Dragon Bamboo Vice Ancestor, and the Conch Overlord along with their legions were completely annihilated by Li Qiye.
This set off a tidal wave across the world. Many experts were stunned along with their sects. Everyone was in a furor.
“What, Meng Zhentian is dead!?” A big shot from the charming spirit race couldn’t believe this and thought that it was falsified.
After repeated confirmations, the big shot still couldn’t calm down. Keep in mind that many charming spirits held Zhentian in high esteem in the race for the Heaven’s Will. He was the most hopeful to become emperor.
“Zhentian is now dead, what should we do? We, we have invested a lot of manpower and resources into him.” Some sects that had allied with him felt downtrodden. Their sect masters slumped back into their chairs with blank looks.
These alliances had costed them a great deal of resources. With his death, all of their efforts have gone down the drain. All of their seeds were akin to bubbles dispersing in the ocean.
Some imperial lineages were out of words because they wanted to marry their princesses to Meng Zhentian and even advertised the event publicly! His death was a heavy loss to these lineages. There was no turning back now.
“So heaven-defying, it’s a complete reversal!” An ancestor was shocked upon hearing this news: “He’s only a human in Heaven Spirit. In terms of resources and connections, he is no match for Zhentian. I have to say that it is magical for him to make it this far. It looks like the throne is his for sure now.”
At the same time, news of Li Qiye’s thirteen palaces acted as a heavy bomb exploding in this world. The ma.s.ses simply couldn’t believe it.
“Thirteen palaces…” Even old undyings that had been sealed for a long time were stunned: “Is he a monster? How could someone have thirteen palaces in this world?”
In just one night, Heaven Spirit was lost in a torrent of bewilderment.
“Go, inquire whether Li Qiye has a dao companion or not. Our princess wants to marry him.” Some imperial lineages immediately sent out their best disciples for scouting.
“No disciple or member in the sect is allowed to oppose Li Qiye. If you meet him, it doesn’t matter what he wants, show your full support or report back to the sect. We will provide full a.s.sistance.” All the great powers reminded their disciples.
Li Qiye became a hot character overnight. Countless discussions involved him and how to befriend him for he has reached the pinnacle of Heaven Spirit.
These sects even hoped to find those close to him in order to use their connection.
“That’s the next emperor.” Many experts and sects had this thought.
“Our Spring G.o.d Gate supports Young n.o.ble Li. If you ever need anything, just say the word and we shall even jump into boiling water.” A few sects couldn’t contact him, so they sent out news about their support.
Everyone knew that there was still a chance to create a relations.h.i.+p with him before the ascension. After all, it would be too late once he becomes emperor.
