Chapter 656: The Huangfu Clan’s Vengeance

“So they are finally here?” Madam Zi Yan’s glare became serious as she tried to confirm the situation.

Ancient Pine quickly responded: “They still haven’t entered the capital and are staying on the outskirts. Their ancestor sent a message to Brother Eagle’s group and wants our Giant Bamboo Country to give an explanation regarding Huangfu Hao or face the consequences.”

It turned out that after being blown away from the capital, the Huangfu Clan expended a lot of effort before finding him. Huangfu Hao was found on the verge of death. Although he managed to survive, his wounds were quite grave, so he would be bed-stricken for some time.

The Huangfu Ancestor quickly brought Huangfu Hao back for treatment. After his wounds stabilized, the people from the Huangfu Clan regained their calm and refocused their attention. How could the people from the Huangfu Clan swallow this anger? Because of this, the ancestor brought a group of experts from the clan, demanding an explanation.

Madam Zi Yan’s visage became cold as she stated: “So if we say no, they will massacre our capital.”

Ancient Pine had cold sweat running down his face as he said: “Most likely. It seems that the Huangfu Clan won’t give up unless we give them an explanation. If they actually attack, I’m afraid the Eagle Demon Monarch’s group won’t be able to withstand it.”

Madam Zi Yan scowled while showing a cold glare. She knew very clearly that there were many great powers in the Alchemy Realm who had been eyeing their country. However, all of them had been living together peacefully. Nevertheless, with such a good excuse at the moment, how could the Huangfu Clan let this great opportunity go?

In addition to all of this, Huangfu Hao desired a marriage alliance with her, so their clan could use this as leverage as well after this event. It was killing two birds with one stone!

“Your Majesty, what should we do?” Ancient Pine hastily asked.

With a serious gaze, Madam Zi Yan austerely declared: “If the Huangfu Clan wants to play hard, then we shall entertain them. Our Giant Bamboo Country is not so easily bullied.”

“I’m only worried that behind the Huangfu Clan is the Alchemy Kingdom. They had been in-laws for several generations.” Ancient Pine couldn’t help but worry.

Madam Zi Yan coldly replied: “When the soldiers come, let the generals deal with them; when the flood arrives, let the earth halt it.” 1

“We absolutely will not falter in the face of the Huangfu Clan coming to our gate. Go beseech our ancestor to come into being. I will take full responsibility.” Although Madam Zi Yan was a woman, she was not soft at all. In fact, she was even more decisive compared to the rougher sex.

“It’s only a Huangfu Clan, there is no need to make any extraneous effort.” At this time, a lazy voice came about. Li Qiye slowly said: “There is no need to ask for your ancestor to come out, leave this matter to me. This matter started because of me, so let me finish it.”

Having heard this, Ancient Pine couldn’t help but stare at Li Qiye. Madam Zi Yan also became serious and said: “The Huangfu Ancestor is an unfathomable Virtuous Paragon who has been renowned since thirty thousand years ago.”

She only said this out of concern for Li Qiye. Even a Heavenly King like her was very wary against an existence of the ancestor level. Her strength alone was not enough to fight the Huangfu Ancestor; this was why she wanted to ask a Giant Bamboo Ancestor to come out of his seclusion.

Although the madam thought very highly of Li Qiye, this didn’t mean that the current Li Qiye could confront a character of the ancestor level.

In fact, ever since he got here, he had never personally taken action so she didn’t know of his exact cultivation. However, in her opinion, he was not stronger than the Heavenly King realm.

And if he wasn’t stronger than a Heavenly King, then he was not qualified to contend against an ancestor. A Heavenly King was insufficient when the opponent is an ancestor.

“It’s only a Virtuous Paragon, not an Immortal Emperor — no big deal.” Li Qiye said in an indifferent manner: “If they want to come, then let them. We can just use this chance to wipe them off the earth. Don’t let even one of them think about escaping.”

These casual words silenced both Ancient Pine and the madam.

Only a Virtuous Paragon — this might be the most arrogant phrase they had ever heard! Even an ordinary power would have only one Virtuous Paragon. This was a terrifying existence, someone capable of plucking the stars and seizing the moon in the sky, someone who could reverse the heaven and earth! It could even be said that a Heavenly King was not worth mentioning before a Virtuous Paragon.

But now, in the mouth of Li Qiye, he was “only” a Virtuous Paragon. How carefree and easygoing was he to utter such words? It was as if an ancestor of a great power, to him, was essentially insignificant.

Ancient Pine hesitated for a moment before having to voice his mind: “But… but… This is a Virtuous Paragon! A Virtuous Paragon capable of killing tens of thousands with one hand!”

While he recognized Li Qiye’s peerless alchemy skill and knew that he could definitely become the Alchemy Emperor in the future, Ancient Pine had no confidence regarding Li Qiye’s cultivation.

And this was the truth. In the Stone Medicine World, many genius alchemists had very average talents for cultivation. Even an Alchemy Emperor, regarding cultivation, couldn’t compare to a God-Monarch or Godking.
