Chapter 19 : Always Arrogant No Matter The Occasion (1)
The Nine Saint Demon Gate elders, the more they stared at Li Qi Ye, the more annoyed they became. Why was it that a person with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Life Wheel, and Mortal Fate Palace like Li Qi Ye was capable of communicating with their Heavenly Guardians. The gods were so unfair!
If he was a disciple of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, then it would be borderline acceptable. However, he was from a different sect. Why would our Heavenly Guardians be protecting an outsider and harming our own sect?
Demon King Lun Ri started to speak once again after the dramatic pause:
“After knowing the background, could you please tell us about your technique to control the Heavenly Guardians?”
Li Qi Ye hesitantly smiled.
“Communication technique? I don’t have any technique; these are your Heavenly Guardians, you should know more about them more than I do.”
Li Qi Ye naturally could not tell them the secrets behind the event. As a dark crow during the Desolate Era, he paid in blood in order to formulate a successful plan to escape the Heaven Demon Grotto. After the million years, he finally understood this particular logic: If you want to control your own destiny, you must personally possess formidable power.
Although, as the dark crow, he possessed considerable power, it was not his own power. Luckily, after entering places that no one else dared to venture, he had found out many mysterious and magical secrets. From then on, he already formulated a plan for his own personal cultivation if he ever returned to his body.
The four Heavenly Guardians of the Nine Saint Demon Gate were one of his secret preparations in the past for self-preservation. That year, he obtained them from the Land of the Old Bloods. They protected him for countless years in the past.
Later on, the Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon always wanted the four statues. He followed and begged Li Qi Ye for them nonstop. Since Nine Saint made many considerable contributions as Min Ren’s Fate Protector, often at the risk of his own life, Li Qi Ye let him borrow them for his later generations.
After successfully guilting Li Qi Ye out of them, Nine Saint Virtuous Paragon immediately positioned them to protect the heaven and earth veins of the Nine Saint Demon Gate as well as allowing them to use the natural energy here to further strengthen themselves.
However, the two had an agreement. Unless the Nine Saint Demon Gate met the disaster of a sect’s demise, the statues would never take action. They were not slaves nor servants of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, and they will not be the Fate Protectors of any descendants from the sect.
Since the Nine Saint Demon Gate also had a monster like the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect as its backing, it grew in power without much hindrance. Later on, during the decline of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, the Nine Saint Demon Gate was an independent existence and thus, it did not suffer together. Due to this, the Nine Saint Demon Gate had never faced a sect’s demise level of disaster; the statues had never mobilized.
The statues were personally taken by Li Qi Ye from the Land of the Old Bloods, of course he knew how to communicate with them. That was why when he took the time to get on the shoulder of one of them, he also conversed with the statues.
“If Young Master Li is willing to part with the technique, the Nine Saint Demon Gate will definitely not mistreat you for the deal. Anything Young Master Li wants, just say a word and we will do it to the utmost of our abilities.”
Demon King Lun Ri had not given up; he knew the real value of the Heavenly Guardians. The sect would become extremely powerful if the guardians could be controlled.
All of the elders eagerly awaited for Li Qi Ye’s answer. If one statue was able able to defeat the first elder, then what would be the combined power of all four?
“You know, there really isn’t a technique. I was simply gossiping with the statues; just stuff about home and life, that’s all.”
Li Qi Ye playfully answered with a coyish expression, acting like an innocent child.
Of course, the Demon King and the elders did not believe Li Qi Ye’s answer, but they could not do anything about it. They especially could not force Li Qi Ye into giving them the technique, otherwise they’ll receive an unprecedented disaster.
“However, I do need to say one thing. I need to perform a blood rite with the four statues.”
Seeing the King’s quiet contemplation, Li Qi Ye coldly responded, changing from his previous demeanor.
Both the King and the elders were shocked. This had a completely different meaning; to perform a blood rite with their Heavenly Guardians was comparable to a linking technique.
Demon King Lun Ri frankly responded:
“The four statues are our Heavenly Guardians.”
Li Qi Ye aloofly played with his sleeves while he answered:
“They can still be your Heavenly Guardians. The only thing is, I might need to borrow them for certain things in the future; for just a little bit.”
“The four statues belong to our sect. Unless it is someone of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, no one else has the rights to use them.”
An elder couldn’t help but exclaim. There was no such thing as letting someone borrow your Heavenly Guardians. It was too unreasonable.
Li Qi Ye glared at the elder and said:
“This is not up to you. If you have a problem with it, then go cry to your guardians.”
Due to the promise that year, Li Qi Ye had to be patient when dealing with the Nine Saint Demon Gate. Otherwise, he would just have taken the statues and left.
