Chapter 574: Meeting The Lost Mythical Island Again (2/2)

A rumor stated that there were many ancestors of the ghost race inside the Ancestral City, and ghost deities were common at the Ancestral Realm. Outsiders thought that the Ancestral Realm was a place for the ghost gods.

Just how frightening and powerful must this place be? Because of this, no one or lineage in the Sacred Nether World was exempt from being afraid of the Ancestral Realm.

Guarding the entrance to the Heavenly Cemetery made the Ancestral City’s aim very clear — they came for the lost island. Not long after the opening of the Prime Ominous Grave, a big shot from the Ancestral City led many experts inside. Such a thing rarely happened. The grave had been opened many times before, but people from the Ancestral City rarely cared for it.

This time, however, was the exception. The city led its troops inside not for any treasures or legendary creations, but for the lost island.

Speculations rose from the Ancestral City wanting to monopolize the lost island. Some thought that the island could be a lair of mythical beasts in the immortal world that fell down to the mortal realm. Up there were their nests and perhaps even some eggs.

This type of speculation made some sense due to the prior images of dragons and phoenixes that were witnessed by multiple people.

Li Qiye’s appearance also attracted many cultivators from all the races who were here for the fun. It was hard for him not to garner so much attention. Recently, he had been very famous, especially after defeating Di Zuo and becoming the number one of the younger generation.

“Li Qiye is here!” The crowd exclaimed, but those that were the most alarmed were the ghost cultivators.

If it was before, then someone would be saying: “That brute, Li Qiye, is here.” But ever since his victory over Di Zuo, no one dared to call him a brute anymore. Even the ghost race who really hated him didn’t dare to address him in such a manner.

In a short amount of time, all eyes were on him. Both young and old were looking at him with a sense of apprehension.

Everyone knew about his last battle and how he used his heaven-defying momentum to defeat Di Zuo. This instilled fear within everyone.

While looking at him, they suddenly remembered that he had twelve palaces. Twelve palaces! Anyone, even the most brilliant genius, would shiver with despair after recalling his twelve palaces. To the younger generation, there was no chance of surpassing Li Qiye in this era.

If it was before, then the ghost cultivators would be unhappy with him entering and would start snickering and sneering. Their mouths would feel quite itchy without throwing an insult or two at him.

But now, even the most dissatisfied ghost had to shut their mouth and not dare to utter a single word.

This was the reality of the cultivation world — a cruel world. As long as one was powerful enough, they could deny all others from even letting out a fart!

One person came from the camp of the Ancestral City with many experts right behind him. Many were quite wary of this newcomer as they uttered: “The Yin Yang Master.”

Even the ghost cultivators were alarmed. Everyone instinctively took a step back to make a path for the master.

He was quite powerful and was once an amazing Heavenly King that was worthy of awe. Moreover, he was also the sect master of an emperor’s lineage. But now, even the ghost kings on the same level as him were somewhat afraid of him. The reason was very simple; he had an amazing son, Chan Yang, the Ancestral Realm’s descendant.

The Ancestral City invited the Yin Yang Master as a guest advisor since Chan Yang was the Ancestral Realm’s descendant and would be the future ruler of the Ancestral City.

The experts that followed the Yin Yang Master came before Li Qiye with apparently unfriendly intentions.

“Li Qiye, we meet again.” Others might be afraid of Li Qiye, but the master didn’t put him in his eyes and addressed him informally. The master had such qualifications; who was to blame for his son being the future master of the Ancestral Realm?

“And?” Li Qiye replied as he nonchalantly gave the master a glance.

His attitude was met with a snort from the master. Even people from the Ancestral City had to respect him, so what’s more to say about a little brat like Li Qiye?

“Still the same words.” The Yin Yang Master arrogantly smiled and coldly spoke: “If you are smart, then hand over the key. The ancestors of the city will make note of your contribution.”

1. This particular phrase was a bit difficult and it has dual meanings as well. It can be sending a ruler/lord off to a battle in the form of a ceremony, or it can be a wife sending her husband away as well. I believe husband is what Li Qiye is trying to say here, but just keep in mind that the particular word can be ruler or husband.
