Chapter 1174: Ongoing Plan

“Rob?” Li Qiye chortled and said: “Whether by force or as a gift, it is entirely up to them. This is their own good fortune; if they miss the chance, I can only say that they will feel very regretful later on.”

Kong Qinru lamented the upcoming event. Forcing a treefather’s lineage into giving him something… Outside of Immortal Emperors, no one would dare to carry out this domineering task.

“The ancestral vine from the citadel is still there.” She had to remind him: “Rumor has it that it is still very young and powerful, plenty capable of fighting an Immortal Emperor.”

After treefathers turn into ancestral trees, these existences wouldn’t care for mundane matters and weren’t much different from ordinary plants.

However, when an enemy invades their lineage or when a calamity approaches, these non-sentient beings would still fight to kill the enemies to protect their descendants.

The young trees were especially powerful, no less than their peak form when they were still alive. Thus, not even Immortal Emperors could defeat them with certainty.

“I know.” Li Qiye chuckled: “It’s no big deal if that tree is still there. If I wasn’t certain, I wouldn’t be going to the citadel in the first place.”

She heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Even though she knew that Li Qiye was not a bulliable nice guy, she still didn’t know the true source of his power. After all, he will be facing a treefather’s lineage, an invincible ancestral tree. Not too many would come out unscathed from a battle against such foes.

Both Godkings and Emperor Candidates won’t do unless they were at the Emperor Assailant level.

“Is there no other way? Maybe we can try negotiating with them. My Exquisite Valley still has some influence, perhaps we can exchange some treasures with them.” No matter which angle she looked at it, she didn’t want him to quarrel against the citadel.

In her mind, even if he couldn’t replenish the Peacock Tree’s life, he still had an imperial bloodline. She hoped that he would be able to pass down this legacy in great numbers.

“Your valley has a lot of treasures, but even if you take out the best ones hidden in your sect for exchange, they still won’t agree.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head.

Kong Qinru was startled and blurted: “Don’t, don’t tell me that you want that item from the citadel…”

“Yes, precisely.” He nodded before she could finish speaking: “It won’t be easy for the Peacock Tree to survive for another eight to ten generations, so that item will be very useful.”

She was dumbfounded right away. Initially, she thought that he wanted something else from the citadel, not their mythical item. While looking quite silly, she had to spill her mind: “Well, well, it will be impossible. The citadel will definitely not give it to you.”

“Don’t worry, they will.” He smiled and shook his head after noticing her expression: “Don’t think of me as an unreasonable brute. Sometimes, I am very reasonable. I might need someone else’s stuff, but I will give them a deal of equivalent value. Look, I’m giving them a huge chance right now, it is up to them to take it.”

“It’s still impossible, they will want nothing in exchange for it.” She shook his head: “It is too precious to them.”

“That’s a pity because if that’s the case, the Heavenvine Citadel will collapse into ashes.” He faintly smiled.

“What…” She was stunned once more. No one would believe the upcoming destruction of the Heavenvine Citadel. Their ancestral vine was in its prime and would live for a much longer time across the generations.

Furthermore, with its protection, who would dare to attack the citadel?

“Don’t let your imagination run wild. It won’t be destroyed right away and I won’t be the one to do it.” Li Qiye gently shook his head: “I can only say that if they give up this godsend opportunity, they will cease to exist in one or two generations.”

She didn’t know what to say for this matter was beyond her comprehension and imagination.

He glanced over and said: “Outside of some other things, there is one more matter that you need to do. Go spread a message that the Peacock Tree is about to die. Remember, do not leave any traces.”

“That the Peacock Tree is dying?” She tried to confirm: “Do you want to spread this message right now?”

“No, wait until the time is right. I will let you know then.” He insipidly stated: “But you must be ready before then. I want this news to spread very quickly across the entire Heaven Spirit World.”
