Chapter 1516: Negotiation (1/2)
Heaven Spirit was quiet before these conditions. They waited patiently for Li Qiye to answer and what choice he would make.
Li Qiye was still sitting up above. A moment later, he couldn’t help smiling: “Hand over the nine leaves and the method for thirteen palaces?”
A thick smirk appeared on his face.
“Fellow Daoist Li, this is worth considering.” Fengyun said: “Take one step back and bask in the immensity of the world. The grand dao is long with softness and hardness co-existing. Flexibility is the only way to reach the end.”
Fengyun has called him Fellow Daoist at this point. It showed his high regards towards Li Qiye.
“If you are sincerely trying to help me, I can only say that I appreciate it.” Li Qiye answered with a smile: “However, all of you aren’t clear on the situation. The advantage lies on my side. I am in complete control so the one who should be spouting conditions is me, not you.”
“I don’t see your advantage anywhere.” Driedtree uttered coldly.
“It’s not your fault.” Li Qiye said leisurely: “After all, you are limited to a narrow view, how could you see the immensity of the world as frogs under the well?”
“You!” The group was enraged instantly after being showed such disdain.
Though they had great self-restraint, they still had their pride for being the strongest in the nine worlds. Who wouldn’t give them some respect? Plus, the six of them together could make all of Heaven Spirit tremble.
Now, a junior like Li Qiye treated them with contempt as if they were worthless. It was difficult for them to remain calm. As the saying goes, even a clay Buddha would become angry at times!
“Fellow Daoist Li, an opportunity will never come back if you fail to seize it the first time.” Fengyun noticed his arrogance and said: “You are indeed strong enough but even if you have the advantages today, I don’t think you will be able to escape. Think carefully instead of following your emotion.”
To which Li Qiye responded: “I have always acted in a cautious manner, never clouded by emotions. But if you want me to make a choice, I will also give you a choice.”
Having said that, he stared at Fengyun and said: “You are a rare talent. If you submit and work for me, I will teach you a thing or two. It will be a lifetime of benefit!”
He then glanced towards the others: “As for the rest of you, there is no value to be found here. Too old with withered lifespan, only a bunch of people who are about to die. In terms of strength, not even at the Emperor a.s.sailant level, completely useless. But I am a merciful person. Kill yourselves now and I shall spare your descendants and sects. Otherwise, I shall crush them as well!”
Jaws dropped to the ground before the heavenly mirrors. The world knew of Li Qiye’s unbridled aggressiveness but now, he wanted Fengyun to submit and for the other five to commit suicide lest their sects face destruction?
There were no words to describe this imperious showing. If it wasn’t for his previous ill.u.s.trious exploits, others would consider him unbeatable right now... with regards to boasting.
Alas, those who have seen him in action didn’t feel this way at all. If this statement didn’t stem from arrogance and ignorance, just what kind of killer moves did he have up his sleeve to deal with these six invincible existences?
People couldn’t help but muse carefully. They couldn’t imagine such a situation where he could kill all six. But judging by his demeanor, it was as if he was completely confident in carrying out this simple task.
Confusion was up in the air. No one knew what was left in his a.r.s.enal.
“Is he an emperor?” Someone murmured. Of course, they all knew that this was impossible because they would be aware if he has turned into one.
“Hahaha.” Dualchild burst out in laughter at this moment: “Crus.h.i.+ng our sects? Is this a threat?”
