The four of them turned and stared intensely at Li Qiye, wanting to see some clues.
Brat, what sect are you from? The impatient Wild Bull was the first to speak.
Some said Im from War Saint Dynasty but who knows? Li Qiye chuckled.
War Saint Dynasty? The geezers kingdom. The four exchanged glances.
Hahaha, brat, what great crime did you commit to be thrown into this heavenly prison? It wont be an easy fate. Hmm, only that geezer will throw people in here. Eight-armed Golden Dragon smirked at Li Qiye.
Firefeather Scholar pondered for a moment and said: In terms of time, one generation has probably passed. We should live longer than the geezer, so he should be dead now.
He then asked Li Qiye: Who is in charge of War Saint now?
Lucidity King cant die that easily. He and Sun Lengying are miraculous and can live for three generations without a problem. A sickly voice interrupted the group.
The four of them quickly turned their head and saw a gray-robed old man slowly walking over with a wooden stick.
He was feeble, shaking three times with each step as if a breeze could sweep him off his feet. Moreover, his eyes were muddled and black. The guy seemed to be on the verge of death.
The four made way for him in a respectful manner.
Ill Lord. Even the hot-headed Wild Bull became proper after seeing the old man.
The old man judged Li Qiye with his muddled eyes: Youre from War Saint Dynasty? Those thrown in here are all strong, but I dont see Dou or Zhe in you.
You sound very confident in your assessment. Li Qiye smiled.
Brat, you probably dont know this but if youre really from War Saint Dynasty, then youre talking to a forefather. Ill Lord is even older than Lucidity King. You wont be able to trick his vision. Poison Phoenix Lady chimed in with a smile.
So the five of you are the strongest enemies of Lucidity King that were thrown in here, or so people said. And you, Ill Lord, are the strongest among them. Li Qiye looked at the group and said.
Brat, theres something else you dont know. In terms of status, Ill Lord is Lucidity Kings Senior Brother. The scholar shook his head and said.
Li Qiye didnt expect this and smiled: I see, that is indeed a bit surprising.
Its all in the past, Ive left Nine Secrets System a long time ago. The old man didnt mind at all.
His title was Ill Lord. Others considered him to be Lucidity Kings greatest enemy.
For a long stretch of time, Lucidity King couldnt do anything to him. People believed that Lucidity King was inferior in terms of power. In all of Imperial, maybe only Gu Yifei of the Li Clan could take him.
However, when True Emperor Jiu Ning appeared, Lucidity Kings authority reached its apex. He himself was a monster while his daughter was an emperor with eleven or twelve palaces.
This culminated in Ill Lords defeat. He was captured and thrown into this prison.
Though most knew about their rivalry, few were aware that they were actually martial brothers.
Ill Lord displayed incredible talents in his youth. The two brothers have always competed with each other in their sect.
In fact, Lucidity King might not have gotten the throne back then if Ill Lord had continued to stay in War Saint Dynasty. The two walked on different paths. Ill Lord chose the heretical dao and abandoned the merit laws of War Saint Dynasty.
He came up with a dao of pestilence and left Nine Secrets System. This was why few knew of his background.
Ill Lord asked: I believe it has been three generations now, how is Lucidity King doing?
Though he was thrown into the prison by Lucidity King, he showed no sign of anger and referred to the king like an old friend. He didnt call him geezer like the other four.
People say that hes dead. Li Qiye said with a smile.
So early? Ill Lord didnt expect this: They shouldnt have died this soon."
How did he die? He asked again.
From old age. Li Qiye smiled: Well, its normal to die after living for so long, living forever would be aberrant.
What about Sun Lengying?
No idea, his whereabouts is unknown but hes still alive. Li Qiye nonchalantly said.
Ill Lords voice became serious: Then its impossible. Lucidity King cant die from old age when Sun Lengying is still around. The two of them found the same fortune back then, able to train on nether ground. In fact, one can say that their teamwork is how they have managed to live for three generations.
I dont know anything about that. Li Qiye shrugged, not really caring about this issue.
Its a shame if that geezer is really dead, I still want revenge. Poison Phoenix Lady said with resentment.
It would be worse if he is still alive, enjoying life and living it up. Well be even more vexed since were trapped here. We cant get out to find him anyway. Firefeather Scholar said while waving his fan.
Hmph, if I can go outside, I still wont let him off so easily even if hes dead. If it wasnt for his trickery, you think I would be captured by the likes of him? To be trapped in this place and never see the sun again for an eternity?! Wild Bull said with hatred.
Who is in charge of War Saint right now? Ill Lord asked Li Qiye after a moment of contemplation.
I am. Li Qiye smiled: Im the current king, the only number one in the world.
Youre number one? Wild Bull, Poison Phoenix Lady, Eight-armed Golden Dragon, Firefeather Scholar, and even Ill Lord gave Li Qiye another assessment.
Brat, youre quite bold. The scholar smiled: The world is vast, hegemony is impossible for you. Even the powerful Lucidity King wouldnt make that claim.
Hahaha, dont tell me the kingdom is done for after the geezers death? No one is capable anymore and the throne fell on you? Wild Bull laughed boisterously.
Lucidity King passed the throne to you? Ill Lord thought about something and stared intensely at Li Qiye.
Thats right, he said we are connected by fate, so he passed the throne to me. And who would waste a free pie landing from the sky? So Im the king. Li Qiye looked very innocent and borderline stupid right now.
Everyone believed him. Well, it was the truth anyway.
Because of fate? If I didnt know Lucidity King well enough, I would actually think youre his illegitimate son. The lady said.
That geezer became senile from old age? What is this about fate? Golden Dragon also stared at Li Qiye, thinking about the ridiculousness of the whole thing.
No, hes only a scapegoat. Ill Lord shook his head: Think again about Lucidity King. He wouldnt have reigned for three generations if he were that simple. Theres a reason why all of you were captured by him.
The other four became silent. Golden Dragon wasnt completely convinced. He muttered under his breath: Hmph, if it wasnt for that bastard Sun Lengying ambushing me, I could have taken Lucidity down!
Hey, dont tell me others took your throne then threw you in here? After a quick assessment of the guy, Poison Phoenix Lady thought she knew why the youth was in here.
No, I jumped in myself. Li Qiye shook his head.
What?! The group was stunned.
Brat, do you know anything about this place? Wild Bull stared at him as if he was an idiot.
Yes, Great Desolate Heavenly Prison, theres no coming out. Li Qiye smiled.
Then why did you jump in? Are you sure youre not crazy? Doing so is suicidal! The scholars eyes narrowed.
Not quite, all of you are still alive and kicking despite being in here. Who knows, maybe staying outside would have ended in an earlier death. Li Qiye joked.
