Chapter 1536: Seven Martial Pavilion (2/2)

Being revealed by Li Qiye left Hallowed with a red complexion. He smiled wryly in response: “It’s all due to our progenitor, including the current s.h.i.+elding situation. We are simply reaping the benefits of having a golden spoon.”

“While it’s true that he has performed the overarching s.h.i.+elding plan for the sect, the current acc.u.mulation and power of the sect aren’t all due to him. This takes many generations and part of it is because of your contribution.” Li Qiye said flatly.

“This lowly one didn’t do much at all, can’t reach the apex and can’t get into your sight, Your Excellency.” Hallowed humbly responded with haste.

“No need to be humble. The hidden resources are quite incredible at this moment but I don’t care for this particular inheritance, don’t worry.” Li Qiye reiterated nonchalantly.

“Ah, just a bit of resource, not enough to impress you at all, Your Excellency.” Hallowed smiled hollowly.

Despite being very famous in Heaven Spirit, the pavilion maintained a low-key presence. This wasn’t to say that they didn’t bother with worldly affairs or chose a reclusive way of life. It was because they rarely took in guests.

Any other powerful sea G.o.d’s lineage would be quite eventful and crowded. There would be great fanfare after the birth of a sea G.o.d since they would accept the tributes from sea demons everywhere.

Alas, the pavilion didn’t do so. Only extremely important people could visit this sect as a guest. They also rarely took in tributes or meeting requests from other sea demons. Most people in Heaven Spirit, especially the sea demons, found this quite peculiar.

Ordinary people couldn’t see it but not Li Qiye. The pavilion’s ancestral ground was completely hidden by an extremely heaven-defying method.

On the surface, the pavilion wasn’t different from the other sea G.o.d’s lineages. However, it was hiding many things that couldn’t be seen from the outside. One had to enter before discovering these hidden matters. Of course, only someone of Li Qiye’s level would be able to see through the true mysteries once inside.

Such concealment had no effect on Li Qiye even if Hallowed tried to.

“There’s a reason why your progenitor has the t.i.tle, Prime.” Li Qiye uttered slowly: “Even though he started later compared to the Roaring Conch’s progenitor, his outstanding vision wasn’t something the Roaring Conch’s progenitor could compare to. Even before becoming a sea G.o.d, he already had plans. Despite failing to make a choice like the others, he still left behind a backup plan for your pavilion or even the entire sea demon race.”

He continued: “But as for that Roaring Conch Sea G.o.d? His choice might have added some advantages but it came from a self-serving intent.”

“Well…” Hallowed became frightened and whispered: “Your Excellency, is this the right place to discuss this?” With that, he secretly pointed up above.

Li Qiye smiled in response: “Don’t worry, spying is possible in the past but now, I actually want to see it happen. If they dare to come out, I shall fight but if they continue hiding, there’s nothing I can do even if I want to initiate a war.”

Hallowed was scared out of his mind after hearing this secretive topic. He couldn’t help but steal glances at the sky and was a bit afraid of a pair of eyes suddenly opening above.

After all, his sect has been hiding many things. In fact, this has been the case for three generations of sea G.o.ds.

Nevertheless, he understood that the eternal dark hand had no fear of anything. If someone actually dared to meet the challenge, a war will ensue to the bitter end.

Hallowed wouldn’t dare to conjecture on the final victor but Li Qiye as the dark hand had absolute confidence. Of course, this would mean that the disaster would come early.
