Chapter 969: Challenging The Crimson Night Kingdom (2/2)

“Where is Yuanyuan now?” Li Qiye spoke with a murderous glint in his eyes.

Ye Chuyun busily said: “She is still in the Holy City, imprisoned at the Thunder Tower for now. I have asked several hidden clans in the city to put pressure on the kingdom to delay their journey, but I’m afraid it won’t delay them for long. Chi Zixian will bring Si Yuanyuan back to Crimson Night in about two days!”

Li Qiye revealed a dark smile: “The gods should be thanking me for not killing people, yet Crimson Night is foolish enough to go over my head. They must be tired of living!”

He ordered: “Go to the Thunder Tower and pass on my message. Before sunrise tomorrow, I want to see the kingdom bring Si Yuanyuan to our door, completely untouched! Otherwise, I will personally take a trip there. At that time, I won’t only crush their encampment, I’ll uproot their kingdom as well!”

“I understand.” Ye Chuyun nodded her head. Anyone else would think that Li Qiye was daydreaming, claiming to uproot the kingdom in such an ignorant manner. However, Ye Chuyun knew very well that he was not joking around. He would do as he said!

She went to the Thunder Tower and passed on his message to Chi Zixian’s group.

“So arrogant!” Chi Zixian’s eyes turned cold with murderous intent after hearing this. Even the expressions of the big characters next to her turned ugly as well. Just what was the Crimson Night Kingdom? A nation with two emperors that had controlled the Blood Race for two different generations! In the entire Barren Earth, outside of the Heavenguard Sect and Mysterious Bamboo Mountain with their three emperors, even the other dual emperor lineages would not dare to utter such arrogant words towards them.

But now, a nobody like Li Qiye dared to bluster and talked about uprooting their kingdom. Not to mention a lineage like them, even an ordinary great power wouldn’t forgive such insolence.

“Just in time. I was worried that we wouldn’t be able to find the Supreme Elder’s killer!” She awe-inspiringly said: “Good, he ignored the accepting heavens and is barging into the unwelcoming hell!”

“Your Majesty, let us take him into custody and bring him back to the kingdom. We’ll call for the rest of the world to watch the trial so that they will find out the result of those who oppose our kingdom!” A paragon next to her spoke.

“No need to make it so troublesome. We’ll hold the trial here at the Holy City!” A different paragon suggested: “Right now, all the heroes are gathered here. It is the best time to trial this murderer!”

She coldly uttered: “Very well. Then tomorrow, we’ll send out the news. If Li Qiye comes kneeling and admits to his crimes, we may spare his life!”

She didn’t want to prolong this matter due to possible complications that may arise. She wanted to publicly sentence both Li Qiye and Si Yuanyuan tomorrow in front of everyone. This wouldn’t only increase her kingdom’s prestige, it would also build her own so that the world would know she was the future ruler of the kingdom. The life and death of others were in her grasp!

“Li Qiye, listen up!” At night, an expert from the kingdom intimidatingly sent out the message: “You seduced a Crimson Night disciple to kill our Supreme Elder. Even ten thousand deaths wouldn’t be enough to repent. Our Highness declares that if you prostrate and beg for forgiveness tomorrow outside of the Thunder Tower, Her Highness may forgive you at her own discretion! Otherwise, it will be a death penalty. Don’t even try to escape since there will be no place in the world for you to hide!”

In order to establish her own prestige, Chi Zixian made the disciples create a fuss so the entire city would find out.

Initially, due to Lin Tiandi’s appearance, everyone had forgotten Li Qiye’s matter. But now, after hearing the message from the kingdom, everyone remembered it again and the city became quite rowdy.

Prior to the message, the truth was that not many people in this region knew who Li Qiye was. But now, his matter had once again entered the limelight, so a lot of people were talking about him.

Someone murmured: “Tricking the Supreme Elder from Crimson Night down the Dragon Platform’s cave… this brat is way too courageous.”

An insider added: “This brat has a backer. I heard he is always together with Schoolmaster Ye, so he has the Pure Lotus School. How arrogant! Not only did he trick the Supreme Elder down the cave, he also threw the Pureblood School’s Swiftsword Marquis down there as well!”

“Hmph, even the Pure Lotus School won’t do. Offending both Crimson Night and the Pureblood School — this is the same as offending our entire Blood Race. There will be no place left for him in the southern region. Even if Crimson Night forgives him, we should still deal with him!” A Blood disciple sneered.

Li Qiye didn’t give any face to this intentional provocation either. He also sent out a message: “Before sunrise, return Si Yuanyuan unharmed. Also, Crimson Night’s descendant, Chi Zixian, must prostrate outside of our mansion to admit her wrongdoings. Only then shall I spare Crimson Night!”

Such words astounded the entire city. No one expected Li Qiye to react in such an aggressive manner. Who would have thought that a nobody would act so arrogantly? His challenge towards the kingdom stunned many people.

Someone commented: “Is this brat out of his mind? Telling Chi Zixian to beg for forgiveness as well as talking about destroying the kingdom? Who does he think he is, Lin Tiandi or Jikong Wudi?!”

“Haha, even Lin Tiandi wouldn’t dare to bluster to this extent!” A Blood disciple snorted: “Does this Li guy think that just because he sucks up to the Pure Lotus School, he can do as he pleases? Tomorrow, we’ll show him the strength of our Blood Race!”

“This ignorant child really does not understand the immensity of the heaven and earth.” Even the previous generation felt that Li Qiye was too arrogant. He was simply making a fool out of himself.

“Very well, we’ll watch the brat’s comedy show tomorrow!” Someone from the unified Blood Race said: “Even Pure Lotus won’t be able to protect him. Crimson Night will show its might tomorrow. It is good to let the humans in the southern region witness our strength!”
