“Elder, Protector Yu He, please invite Young Master Li into the sky chamber to talk. Would that be alright?”
After hearing the invitation, Li Qiye smirked and answered:
“Finally, someone who can see with their eyes; a little talk will not hurt.”
Grand Protector Yu He quickly came to Li Qiye and respectfully gestured him toward the sky chamber. The more he stared at Li Qiye, the more afraid he became. This thirteen year old was too frightening.
***
The sky chamber was an important location in the Nine Saint Demon Gate. All major decisions were discussed and made there, and only elders had the qualifications to enter.
Of course, Protector Mo and Nan Huairen could not enter as well. Since the sky chamber was situated in the deepest part of the sect and Li QI Ye could not fly, a grand Royal Noble like Yu He had to bend down to fly him over on his back.
Right now, all of the elders were present in the chamber. Heavenly auras exuded from all of their bodies; their Life Wheels bounced up and down; mysterious patterns of law that resembled the creation of a new world crossed their entire bodies. They had all reached the stage of Enlightened Beings, definitely not Royal Nobles.
One Royal Noble could destroy the entirety of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, imagine how strong an Enlightened Being was. The hidden strength of the Nine Saint Demon Gate was truly staggering when seen; no wonder they were the rulers of Old Ox Country.
Despite all of this, Li Qiye was not surprised one bit and he sat down gracefully in the sky chamber.
“Since the ancient times, no one had ever connected with our Heavenly Guardians.”
The Demon King’s voice appeared, but no one could see him.
Li Qiye shook his head and said:
“I don’t like talking to people who hide their face behind a veil.”
The elders were not pleased with his words. Demon King Lun Ri was a monstrous man, and all of the elders here deeply respected and feared him. However, this Li Qiye was not minding his words towards the King at all.
“It is not as if I don’t want to see Young Master Li, but right now, I am still in the middle of closed cultivation; I can’t personally meet you.”
Demon King Lun Ri patiently explained.
Li Qiye nodded his head and smiled.
“Fine, I won’t make it hard for you; at the very least, I am a very reasonable man.”
Lun Ri politely inquired:
“I want to hear how you were able to connect with our Heavenly Guardians.”
All the elders were surprised as well; they never knew that their sect had Heavenly Guardians.
At this moment, Lun Ri started to explain:
“The Nine Saint Demon Gate has four Heavenly Guardians which are the four statues in the battle stage. They were invited by the patriarch to protect our sect. Not only that, they also guard the Heaven’s Vein and Earth’s Vein between the battle stage, which is the bloodline of our sect, but until today, they have never made a move.”
His voice became graver as he went on during his explanation. Once finished, all the elders’ eyes were on Li Qiye. They did not understand why the forever immobilized Heavenly Guardians helped Li Qiye today.
