Chapter 2155: Reckless Endeavor (1/2)
In the next several days, Li Qiye wasn’t in a rush unlike everyone else. People kept on rus.h.i.+ng and running across his path. They wanted nothing more than to be the first there in order to seize the blood ginseng.
“Upper Faction’s Chen Clan, Sacred Inst.i.tution's Beijing, and Chu Camp’s Chu Qingling.” Shengping took note of these people and murmured: “The three great powers in Insane Court are all here, just not the w.a.n.g Clan. Is this really a trillion-year-old ginseng?”
“If there is such a thing, it wouldn’t be their turn to have it. Nothing is that easy in this world.” Li Qiye chuckled.
“Young n.o.ble, why are you heading there if not for the ginseng?” Shengping finally asked.
“You’ll find out when the people from w.a.n.g come. If w.a.n.g Han doesn’t show up, then something big is going on.” Li Qiye closed his eyes and said leisurely.
Shengping became afraid with an ominous foreboding.
“Will Her Majesty come?” Shengping felt a chill running down his spine. Though he couldn’t grasp the situation in whole, he could still see the surging waves.
“Who knows?” Li Qiye answered: “If she doesn’t, it means that she has lost power, that the w.a.n.g no longer supports her, so her t.i.tle will only be in name. If she can come, it shows that she has won the support of the clan and a revolution shall come to the system.”
He spoke as if this had nothing to do with him, but this was indeed the case. The w.a.n.g Clan’s support meant nothing. The result has already been determined the moment he set foot on this land. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be going to this mountain range.
His nonchalant att.i.tude scared Yang Shengping. Keep in mind that the old man was betting everything on w.a.n.g Han and Li Qiye. If w.a.n.g Han were to lose power, it would be terrible for Grand Sword.
It took the group several more days before making it to Ivory Gap. The moment they got to a town right outside, there was already a sea of people waiting.
The campers here were expert cultivators. Most came from the clans or the legions in the system.
This was naturally an awe-inspiring sight. Was it worth it to maneuver so many people just for a single blood ginseng root?
It looked as if a major battle was about to break out. Because of this, the big shots from the last generation could tell that something was amiss - that a storm was brewing.
The legions from the great powers were all here with the exception of the w.a.n.g. The other influential clans also sent their armies. This resulted in the majority of the military force in the system being present.
Alas, the w.a.n.g that was in control right now of the system was absent. This truly perplexed the crowd.
Shengping knew that a change in power was going to happen after seeing this sight. The three other great powers wouldn’t waste their time and energy on anything less.
He spent a while finding an inn for the group. This was a great time of business for them. Cultivators from all over the place were resting and waiting to see the next development.
Though some experts have entered the mountain range to look for the ginseng, the legions and clans were waiting outside. This made the rest a lot more cautious and they decided to stay out as well.
No one knew what was going to happen. If the system were to undergo a revolution right now, the ones inside the mountain range would be trapped with no way of escaping.
The group sat down in an inconspicuous corner, not attracting any attention. Ultimately, they weren’t big shots or anything.
