Chapter 1571: Peacock Bright Monarch (2/2)

After a long time, he said flatly: “Come out, you have been following me for a long time now since Pearl City.”

Once his words fell, a charming figure appeared nearby. It was the Pearl City Lord, Peac.o.c.k Bright Monarch!

She wasn’t surprised at all and bowed elegantly yet not subserviently towards him: “I’m very curious about you so I couldn’t help following. Please forgive me.”

This was an authoritative figure in the entire Grand Sea so such words coming from her were very sensible.

“If I took offense, you wouldn’t be alive right now.” Li Qiye glanced at her and chuckled before s.h.i.+fting his gaze back at the ocean.

The monarch shuddered after hearing this. This seemingly ordinary man was anything but that. She couldn’t see through him at all, completely unable to gauge his strength.

“I’m curious about one thing too.” He said: “As the Pearl City Lord, are you on Lu Zhangsun’s side or Gu Zun’s? Of course, I know Zhangsun is no longer alive.”

This actually surprised her. She couldn’t help but stare at him with a flash in her eyes.

“Of course, I know you’re not Zhangsun’s descendant or disciple or you wouldn’t be cultivating another supreme art from Heaven Suppression.” He revealed while still staring at the ocean.

This made her even more cautious with her stare becoming more intense. She said slowly: “May I ask why you are here? Is it because of my Pearl City or Heaven Suppression?”

“Both.” Li Qiye chuckled and leisurely replied: “If necessary, I’ll take back the two cities.”

“Who are you!” She became quite alarmed and lowered her tone: “Who sent you here?! The Soaring Immortal Sect?”

Li Qiye shook his head in response: “The Soaring Immortal Sect is nothing. They aren’t qualified to order me. No one in this world can!”

The vigilant monarch was stunned. Who would dare to utter such words in Mortal Emperor? It might bring about a sect-destroying calamity if the Soaring Immortal Sect were to catch wind of this statement.

No, one person indeed dared to say something like this. However, she has only heard of his name.

Li Qiye continued: “We’ll talk about Gu Zun now. As the Pearl City Lord, have you actually seen him?”

The monarch calmed down and hesitated in responding.

“It looks like you’re not quite sure either.” Li Qiye smiled: “Tell me, what does Gu Zun look like right now? An old man or still a very handsome youth? Or a deity shrouded in a divine aura and visual phenomena?!”

She chose to s.h.i.+eld her thoughts: “Young n.o.ble, this is our business. I can’t answer.”

She became quite curious about his origin and intention. But as he has said, he came for both Pearl City and Heaven Suppression. Nevertheless, she didn’t know whether he was a friend or a foe!

“Okay then, tell me about your Heaven Suppression G.o.ddess. Where is she now? Inside Heaven Suppression or did Gu Zun escort her to a secret location now?”
