“Thats right, this Hou is here for the Emperor Merit Law of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. Your sect has declined, so it is time for the Emperor Merit Law to switch owners.”
Li Qiye squinted his eyes, looked at Marquis of the Eastern River, and slowly spoke:
“Your Jiang Zuo Clan was always a bunch of hypocrites. Especially Virtuous Monarch Jiang Zuo, he was a shameless son of a bitch. Even though you are annoying, at least you dare to admit your doings. You are an honest villain, and more respectable compared to your ancestor, Virtuous Monarch Jiang Zuo.”
“Little demon, you dare to insult my ancestor–”
Marquis of the Eastern River’s expression greatly changed. He roared as a great palm rushed towards Li Qiye, wanting to capture him alive.
“Bang”
Li Qiye didn’t need to do anything, Li Shuangyan had already knocked away this palm with one finger. Marquis of the Eastern River lost his colors and immediately withdrew his palm. He then took several steps back.
“Goddess Li, do not seek trouble for yourself. The Nine Saint Demon Gate is promising and shouldn’t be dragged down to the muddled water just because of one unknown little brat.”
Marquis of the Eastern River’s eyes were emotionless as he threatened.
Li Shuangyan coldly glared at him and said:
“It is not your Jiang Zuo Clan’s turn to tell my Nine Saint Demon Gate what to do!”
“If Young Miss Li is determined to protect this little demon, I’m afraid this old man will not be able to hold back.”
At this moment, a cold voice appeared from behind Marquis of the Eastern River. It was an old man with a thin figure and chilling glare, wearing an armor that weighed a thousand jin. With his iron armor, he seemed to be a steel mountain. However, the armor did not hinder his movement.
“Jiang Zuo Tieyi!”1
Seeing this old man, a demon standing by the side lost his colors and said:
“The oldest brother of the clan master of the Jiang Zuo Clan!”
Jiang Zuo Tieyi — he was not only the oldest brother of the Jiang Zuo Clan’s clan master, but also a ruthless Royal Noble. His hands were stained with blood. Legends has it that many cultivators and sects that opposed the Jiang Zuo Clan were personally massacred by him.
Jiang Zuo Tieyi became a Royal Noble a thousand years ago, but because he lived during the Difficult Dao Era, he couldn’t improve after becoming a Royal Noble. After the era had finally ended, he had shown improvements and was very close to reaching Enlightened Being in these recent years. His strength was truly frightening!
“Jiang Zuo Tieyi-”
Li Shuangyan became serious and glared at this old man. She had heard of his ferocious name before. Even the elders of the Nine Saint Demon Gate wouldn’t dare to fight against Jiang Zuo Tieyi.
“Little demon, be smart and hand over the Emperor Merit law.”
At this moment, Jiang Zuo Tieyi glared at Li Qiye and said:
“Otherwise, I can’t guarantee your life.”
The cultivators who were watching were silent. In the cultivation world, using force to take something was too common. If the Jiang Zuo Clan wanted to let go of all face and steal the Emperor Merit Law, it would not be a surprising matter.
There were even cultivators with regrets in their hearts. If they knew this would happen, then they would have made a move sooner to steal the Emperor Merit Law. It would have been beneficial for their own cultivations.
At this moment, the Jiang Zuo Clan already made the first move, so there were only regrets in their minds.
“If I knew this little brat was carrying an Emperor Merit Law, then I would have done something earlier. Now, the Jiang Zuo Clan had found a fat sheep.”
A cultivator whispered.
Li Qiye laughed till his eyes were narrowed, and he said:
“It really seems like all of you think that I am a fish on a cutting board! And that I will let all of you do whatever you want! So be it, since your Jiang Zuo Clan has come to my door, then don’t blame me for not being merciful!”
Li Qiye was still so calm and comfortably cozy… It was to the point of causing Marquis of the Eastern River to be alarmed. If Li Qiye was so weak, would the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect allow him to go outside?
Or could it be that Gu Tieshou was secretly following him? Thinking about the emperor’s possession in the hands of Gu Tieshou, Marquis of the Eastern River’s heart became cold. Everyone was wary of this item. The immortal aura of the emperor’s possession was too terrifying, even an immortal could only die.
“The law of the jungle, where the strong survives and the weak perishes — a never changing law throughout the ages.”
Marquis of the Eastern River slightly smiled and said:
“But the Jiang Huo Clan is a great clan and will not seize your Emperor Merit Law. Since you are so arrogant, will you dare to make a bet with me?”
Marquis of the Eastern River suddenly changed his tone and confused many people. At the moment, his cavalry surrounded Li Qiye so t
