Chapter 638: Destruction Of The Lie Clan
Contrary to others’ belief that he was crazy, Li Qiye using Immortal Emperor Refined Jades to buy this Alchemy Fowl was a huge profit! Buying three extremely rare and precious things in one breath, what could be better?
Li Qiye observed them for a bit before putting everything away. Then, he tapped on the cauldron next to him and gave a command: “Go. Under the capital is a Fire Source that has been strengthened with a spirit. Although it is not comparable to the supreme flames you have devoured before, this is something created by me and its spirit is not bad. Devour it and deal with some little problems for me on the way.”
The cauldron received Li Qiye’s command then crawled under the earth and disappeared.

After the monarch left Li Qiye’s room, he told Bai Weng to take good care of Li Qiye while he immediately went to visit the Demon King in the palace.
There was a secret conference going on with all of the strongest demon monarchs of the Giant Bamboo Country present.
Ancient Pine spoke: “Your Highness, Young Noble Li didn’t want to come to the palace for a meeting.”
Madam Zi Yan nodded and said: “I have heard about the Golem Square’s events.”
Another Demon Monarch spoke austerely: “He’s this arrogant? Does he want Her Majesty to go see him herself?”
This was one of the eighteen monarchs, the Eagle Demon Monarch.
Madam Zi Yan shook her head and said: “It’s not his fault. With such amazing pill techniques, he could just utter one word and countless people in the Stone Medicine World would line up to earn his favor. Even imperial lineages would be happy to commission him. Such a peerless alchemist would be well-received anywhere he goes. Not to mention, someone full of treasures like him doesn’t need anything. It is hard to get his interest.”
At this point, she sighed gently and lamented: “Our Giant Bamboo is only a small country. I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep an alchemist like him.”
Ancient Pine couldn’t help but suggest: “How about Your Highness goes to personally meet Young Noble Li? I see that he has some love for our Giant Bamboo Country, so if Your Highness shows up personally, then maybe Young Noble Li will be moved by the sincere gesture.”
Ancient Pine knew that a supreme alchemist with no need for treasures or money like Li Qiye couldn’t be convinced by material objects. They had to use a different method to impress him.
Madam Zi Yan was very open minded and felt that Ancient Pine made a lot of sense: “If Young Noble Li is willing, then I don’t mind making a trip. A peerless alchemist in this generation is worth a personal trip to recruit him.”
Another Demon Monarch voiced his concern: “This… doesn’t feel right. Your Highness is the Royal Lord of our country, how about we go welcome him instead?”
“No.” Madam Zi Yan shook her head and said: “So what if I am a Royal Lord? Every Alchemy Emperor is treated as one’s most esteemed guest, even Immortal Emperors are no exceptions. It is certain that Young Noble Li will become an Alchemy Emperor, so an ordinary Royal Lord like me greeting him personally is how it should be.”
“I wonder if Young Noble Li will be willing to stay or not.” Eagle voiced his musing: “Your Highness needs to have another plan. If we can’t keep him, then Your Highness needs to pick another participant for the conference.”
The Eagle Demon Monarch was somewhat related to the Qing Clan, so he wanted to help them.
Madam Zi Yan nodded and said: “I’ll have made my own decision by that time.”
Another demon monarch said: “Your Majesty, Young Noble Huangfu from the Huangfu Clan is interested…”
The madam quickly interrupted this monarch: “Do not mention this matter again.”
Her imperial prestige made others not dare to look straight ahead. A Demon King was still a Demon King, so Madam Zi Yan’s power was not to be underestimated.
The monarch who brought this issue up immediately shut up and didn’t dare to say anything else.
Madam Zi Yan declared: “Tomorrow, I will personally go greet Young Noble Li. It would be best if he could join the palace for some time.”
The moment she made her decision, a confidant hurriedly rushed in: “Your Highness, Your Highness! Something big has happened!”
Madam Zi Yan noticed the confidant’s urgency, so she grimaced and asked: “What happened that’s causing you to be so anxious?”
The confidant quickly said: “The Lie Clan is finished!”
