Chapter 1566: Taking The Treasure From The Temple (2/2)

The middle-aged man was surprised to hear the clicking gears: “What, what is this treasure?”

“Netherlord Hexagear Launcher, the supreme weapon.” Li Qiye smiled happily. After so many years, the complete version was finally out.

Meanwhile, the man didn’t expect for their temple to be hiding this treasure. It seemed that it was waiting for Li Qiye to come and take it.

“The world has never seen a destructive weapon of this magnitude.” He commented while patting his weapon.

He was quite excited at this moment and wanted to try the power of this weapon. Of course, he needed to meet a worthy foe first or it would be too wasteful.

After all, there were only six shots. Because of this, he wouldn’t use this precious weapon until he meets a worthy foe.

“I hope someone in the nine worlds will be worthy enough for me to test it before I leave.” He thought to himself while grinning.

The middle-aged man didn’t know Li Qiye but he was creeped out by this smile from Li Qiye.

In the end, he put away the weapon and left.

The man closed the gate and quickly chased after him: “You, you are friend with the G.o.ddess? She has mentioned you before.”

“That’s right.” Li Qiye nodded.

The man rubbed his palms awkwardly and didn’t know how to phrase the next line.

Li Qiye glanced at him in response: “Don’t worry, the old men won’t die for now and nothing will happen to Zi Cuining either. Before having absolute control over the situation, Gu Zun will leave himself a path of retreat. He’s not only a fox but also a very cautious one, preparing an escape path after every step.”

“I want to go to the city to take a look at the ancestors but I have to protect the village.” His face grew red with helplessness.

Even if he wasn’t very clever, he still knew that something has happened since the ancestors have been gone for so long. Alas, he couldn’t leave the village and had to anxiously wait here.

“It’s no use even if you go. Gu Zun isn’t someone a junior like you can deal with. Don’t worry, since I’m here, I’ll take care of it.” Li Qiye gently shook his head.

The man heaved a sigh of relief. Despite not knowing Li Qiye, he has heard the G.o.ddess talk about him before so he was confident.

He then asked: “Just how powerful is Gu Zun?”

Gu Zun was a popular topic in the village. Each time talking about Gu Zun, the ancestors became very cautious so Gu Zun left a deep impression on him.

“Not just strong.” Li Qiye chuckled and stared towards the distance: “His talent is incredible, only better than the Black Dragon King, not worse. I’m afraid few can be his match in the present day due to this.”

1. This is a rare moment when the author describes with modern terms. Even the mecha world didn’t have modern terms outside of gears. Also, I’m glad I didn’t name it a cannon or tube since it’s a pistol, launcher was ambiguous enough for me not to go back and fix it yet still sound relatively okay.
