Chapter 1667: Nine Sea Kings (1/2)

Li Qiye chuckled after seeing the nine gigantic monsters. He didn’t care at all even though the eighteen eyes were s.h.i.+ning on him like eighteen suns. It had no effect on him.

“Dark Crow!” The monsters’ voice struck like thunder, causing the world to quake.

Even G.o.dkings would be terrified because of them.

“You think they can trap me?” Li Qiye cheerfully smiled at Gu Zun standing outside.

“I know it is difficult to trap you, Your Excellency.” Gu Zun smiled back: “But at the very least, this will be more enemies for you. I trust that the nine Sea Kings will trouble you quite a bit since they want revenge from back then!”

People would be scared out of their mind to hear their t.i.tles. They used to be legendary monsters that once ravaged the Mortal Emperor World several generations ago. They were rumored to be from the Grand Sea, similar to sea monsters but not part of that tribe.

Their real origin was unknown but they were immensely powerful after appearing and completely unpredictable. Not too many could oppose them in this world.

They became even stronger during Immortal Emperor Yin Tian’s generation and frequently traveled around the Grand Sea. There would be a great storm each time that robbed the peace from the region.

Later on, the emperor fought against the nine of them. These kings were strong to an unbelievable level and actually managed to stop the emperor then escaped.

In fact, after the emperor’s fight, the Dark Crow had sent several people to find them. However, they were too elusive to be found.

Eventually, the storm and tsunami caused by them truly enraged the Dark Crow. He ordered his generals and even came in person. Finally, he captured and sealed all nine of them beneath this sea region.

As the Dark Crow’s enemy, Gu Zun had always thought about how to free them. His effort didn’t betray him. After several careful observations, he found that the seal was weakening. Because of this, he tried his best to release the seal and the nine monsters in order to fight against their common enemy, the Dark Crow!

“Why do you a.s.sume that they’re my enemies?” Li Qiye cheerfully smirked.

“Is this not the case?” Gu Zun’s expression changed. He didn’t have the same confidence as before after the treasury incident.

“Your Excellency!” The nine monsters dropped down to one knee. Their body as large as amazing pillars bowed towards Li Qiye!

“Rise, you all have been sealed long enough. It is all in the past now.” Li Qiye nodded.

“You!” Gu Zun was astounded and stumbled backward. At this time, he stared at Li Qiye in horror: “You tricked me again!”

“Not quite.” Li Qiye shook his head: “I didn’t do this to scheme against you. It is all a coincidence. Remember, you weren’t born yet when the nine kings were in this world.”

At this moments, the nine Sea Kings surrounded Gu Zun instead. One of them said: “Brat, you are indeed very smart. Unfortunately, you don’t know our origin. Your intelligence has betrayed you.”

“You lot conspired together!” Gu Zun felt himself being tricked completely. He thought that he was releasing some powerful enemies against Li Qiye and didn’t expect for them to be friends.

Li Qiye shook his head again: “No, I have been chasing and eventually imprisoned them. This is true. However, I have also done them a favor, there is no grievance here. You also knew of this so you a.s.sumed that they are my enemies. I was also certain that you would come to find them so I casually gave them an order. The truth is that ever since you opened the seal, they have been watching over the Grand Sea and keeping an eye on you!”

He smiled and added: “It’s funny, your intelligence and scheming are hurting you now.”

“Brat, His Excellency has given us a new life, you think we would actually work together with you?” One of the Sea Kings laughed.

So it turned out that the nine kings were juniors who have escaped from the Crystalfowl Immortal Mine. Their branch was suppressed and cursed by the high heaven so they couldn’t appear in this world.
