Chapter 1579: Threat (1/2)
With her eyes peering at the elder, the monarch slowly said: “Elder Sun, it’s not like I can’t accept the promotion but I need to see sect master at Pearl first before considering.”
Ye Jiuzhou’s group wished to transfer the monarch but she didn’t let up. Due to the lack of communication, she was certain the Zi Cuining has been placed under house arrest. If Cuining could go to Pearl, it would be a chance for the monarch to rescue her then counterattack together.
“Bright Monarch, you’re making this hard for me. The sect master can’t come here right now since she’s too worried about Ancestor Shan and the others being trapped in the hall. She’s busy researching the mysteries of the hall and can’t leave. If you don’t mind, you can go to the sect and see her…”
The monarch interrupted him with a head shake: “Elder, I have already given my answer. Either the sect master comes here to see me in person or bring a signed, official decree!”
The elder quickly responded: “Bright Monarch, why bother adhering to an old law, you need to be more flexible since this matter is very beneficial for your future. Just come to the sect and your potential will be unlimited…”
“Elder, no need to waste more time. We’ll do this by the rules only.” She stopped him again.
“Monarch, this makes it quite difficult for me. If I go back empty-handed, how can I explain it to the sect master and ancestors?”
“Such a trivial matter, is there really a need to go about in circle like this? Both Gu Zun and Ye Jiuzhou are too prudent right now compared to back then. Gu Zun used to be quite domineering with no qualm for anything. If this was him in the past, he would directly attack Pearl City. Why bother resorting to tricks like this? How disappointing.” Li Qiye laughed and shook his head.
He had been quietly sitting there so Elder Sun didn’t pay attention to him. But now, he was boasting shamelessly right away to the visible annoyance of the elder.
“Brat, who are you!?!” The elder immediately shouted.
Li Qiye didn’t bother looking at the elder before grinning leisurely: “Just a nosy outsider.”
“Bright Monarch, what is going on? This is a confidential matter of our sect, how can there be an outsider here to steal our secrets? You know that he isn’t part of the sect yet you still brought him here? This is blatant favoritism and lawbreaking…”
“Okay, don’t bother trying to a.s.sign some blame.” Li Qiye answered instead while waving his sleeve dismissively: “To sum it up, you just want to seize Pearl City. Sigh, Ye Jiuzhou is old and Gu Zun is too timid now. Fine, come back, tell the two of them to scram.”
“Junior, do not insult my ancestors!” Elder Sun shouted: “Men, capture him!”
The two rows of experts stood up and surrounded Li Qiye with a murderous aura. There was no intention of capturing him alive.
“Monarch, you need to give the sect an answer for this...” The elder spoke gravely.
They wanted nothing more than to escalate the situation in order to have justification for a military installation at Pearl.
“Rumble!” All the experts went flying in an instant with spurting blood. With a series of loud bangs, they all fell outside of the hall and couldn’t get up at all.
Li Qiye didn’t move an inch. No one could see how he attacked earlier.
“I shall give you an answer.” Li Qiye spread out his hand before the elder could finish speaking. It resembled a monstrous mountain slamming down on the elder.
The old man was aghast and immediately roared to summon his treasure for a direct confrontation.
“Boom!” But the result was still the same as before. His treasure was impressive indeed but it failed to protect him. He was blown flying by one palm attack and spat out blood as well.
“Master!” The tea-serving disciple turned pale and quickly helped the elder up.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you?!” As an elder from Heaven Suppression, he wasn’t just all talk. However, he couldn’t withstand a single palm strike today so it was apparently just how terrible his foe was. This was definitely the strength of a G.o.dking; such a person couldn’t be nameless.
