Chapter 1791: Ultimate Armament (1/2)
Tieshu Weng was horrified by what Li Tianhao said before he left. He didn’t know whether to be happy or not about the upcoming examination at the Jilin Clan.
As the day approached, all the territories would be under watch and some big shots will personally preside over the event to keep the peace.
But now, Li Qiye had antagonized so many great powers under the Jilin. If these powers were to fan the fire in front of the imperial clan, it would be quite a predicament. Their sect might be annihilated in the process.
Thus, he didn’t know whether it was wise or not to follow Li Qiye but he had no other choice. Regardless of the outcome, the fate of his sect was already placed on Li Qiye.
“Have fun, everyone, see you later.” On the other hand, Laoliu was very nonchalant and kept on waving at the departing group in a boisterous manner.
After Li Tianhao left, Li Qiye finally looked at Laoliu and said insipidly: “Why did you come to this ominous ground?”
“Ah, sir, please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t follow you here.” Laoliu was scared out of his mind and quickly justified: “I’m only here to make some money. Rumor has it that this was the place where Mad G.o.d was killed and his body is still nowhere to be found, hehehe, so I came hoping to get lucky and didn’t think I would meet you here.”
“Very well, I need an errand boy anyway, it’s good that you’re here.” Li Qiye didn’t care at all.
“I’m here to obey as long as you need me.” Laoliu’s eyes brightened even more so than if he were staring at a gold ingot. He rubbed his palms and excitedly agreed.
His ident.i.ty was quite frightening with a vast knowledge. He didn’t care for successors from imperial lineages but Li Qiye was different. This was an untouchable overlord. If he were to earn Li Qiye’s favor, it would be a lifetime of benefits.
Even though he didn’t understand why this overlord was strolling around as a mortal, he didn’t dare to ask either. He was certain that something shocking was going to happen in the future.
This was the reason why he wanted to go along with Li Qiye. Intuition told him that this was a wise move and he had always listened to it.
“Let’s go.” Li Qiye smiled at the excited man and continued forward.
With a new party member, Li Qiye carefully looked around the ominous ground before finally gazing at a deeper region.
“You guys stay outside and wait for me at the G.o.dwatching Peak.” Li Qiye gave the order before preparing to delve deeper.
Tieshu Weng and his disciples bowed deeply without any objection. Shen Xiaoshan quietly said: “Take care.”
“You, come with. It’s coming. This land has been quiet for a long time now, the withered tree will grow again.” Li Qiye told Laoliu.
Laoliu was extremely excited to hear this. He knew this land better than the other three but judging by Li Qiye’s action, he realized that Li Qiye knew even more and there was no need for him to display his slight skill before an expert.
Li Qiye still perused the land carefully after coming in with Laoliu.
“Sir, may I ask for your purpose?” The fearless old man eventually asked along the way.
“What is your purpose then?” Li Qiye looked at him with one eye and said.
“This lowly one is here for treasures.” Laoliu didn’t try to hide anything before Li Qiye: “My bold guess is that the body of Mad G.o.d is still here after being killed by Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian since no one had found it yet.”
“Makes sense.” Li Qiye chuckled.
Laoliu smiled wryly and continued: “If that body is still here, so are all of his treasures. But even that arrow used to kill him must be an incredible tool for murder. That’s a big harvest in and of itself.”
“That’s it?” Li Qiye said.
