Li Qiye and his group left behind the astonished and silent crowd.
No one dared to say a single word. The two emperors chose inaction instead of stopping him.
They knew that with their personal cultivation, they wouldnât have been able to stop the centaur godâs final shot. Thus, Li Qiye was clearly superior.
They realized that they have underestimated Li Qiye. A while ago, they assumed that the Sword of Repentance was the guyâs strongest move. This was no longer the case. Li Qiye himself was immensely strong.
This brought up the question - since when did Repentance Institution have such a powerful student?
âIs he really from Repentance?â A few students questioned after Li Qiye left.
This academy hasnât produced anyone worthwhile after millions of years. A selected few eventually had great accomplishments but this was only after they left the academy for a long time.
Li Qiye was still a student right now. Such a talent was unprecedented in that place.
âThereâs something off about him, too devilish, this brat.â An older student said with certainty.
Treasure Source True God pondered in silence. The Centaur God of Archery was countless times stronger than him. Seeking revenge seemed suicidal now.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and clenched his fists - still maintaining his original stance. He must try to avenge Deng Rensen regardless of the price.
He owed this teacher a great debt. Without this personâs help, he wouldnât have become who he was today.
In fact, he would only be a regular student in Northern Academy - a life of mediocrity and never becoming an Eternal.
Without Deng Rensen and the great fortune, perhaps the Ascender realm was his highest limit. Therefore, Rensen was like another parent to him, hence his determination.
At this moment, most of the students have left, leaving behind the two emperors who were about to leave as well.
âDao Brothers.â Treasure Source True God caught up to them and cupped his fist. [1]
âBrother Treasure Source.â The two emperors stopped and greeted him.
An Eternal like Treasure Source wasnât as strong as the centaur god. Nonetheless, he was strong enough to speak to the emperors.
Of course, his status and future potential remained inferior.
âBrothers, I have been a fan of you two for a long time but never got the chance to greet you.â The true god humbly said. [2]
âYour treasure source is also a source of envy. I have heard of your miracle before.â Stonecarver smiled and replied.
âItâs nothing, I only got lucky and swallowed this treasure source. It is the high heavenâs blessing that Iâm still alive.â The true god hurriedly responded.
So it turned out that the true god accidentally swallowed a treasure source. This nearly killed him.
As the saying goes - great fortune comes after a narrow escape from death.
Sure enough, his cultivation soared like the wind, allowing him to stand out among the excellent students of Northern Academy. He eventually became an Eternal at a young age.
âDao Brothers, youâre really dropping this issue?â The true god didnât beat around the bushes.
âBrother, Do you have a better idea?â Goldpython wasnât an idiot and smiled.
âDao Brothers, the truth is that I have great enmity towards Li Qiye since he killed Teacher Deng of our academy. I owe Teacher Deng a great debt so I must avenge him no matter what.â The true god took a deep breath and solemnly said.
âItâs commendable that you still try to repay the debt despite knowing the difficulties.â The two emperors became surprised before nodding with respect.
They could see that this Eternal was no match for Li Qiye. He himself knew it but still decided to oppose the guy. This grateful mindset deserved respect.
âDao Brothers, you can see that I alone am not Li Qiyeâs match.â The true god straightforwardly said.
âThe three of us still arenât enough.â The emperors understood his intent.
âWeâre not the only ones here in the ancient courtyard. Three-eyed Prodigy and Goldtypha True Emperor are around too.â The true god said.
âWe have no real feud with Li Qiye.â Stonecarver shook his head.
âDo you not want the magpie eggs?â The true god asked.
âIt would be nice to have them, but no point in forcing the issue.â Goldpython smiled.
They knew that going up against Li Qiye was unwise given their current power.
âWhat if I can get Three-eyed Prodigy and Goldtypha True Emperor to join us? Also, you two know that I have a treasure source. Its effect is heightened especially here, extremely powerful.â The true god said.
The two emperors exchanged glances. They would be lying to say that they didnât want the eggs.
Plus, there was something else they didnât bring up - Li Qiye killing their disciples in public.
These were only members of their sects, not their actual disciples. However, they still taught these young ones and had a teacher-student relationship. This wasnât something easily forgiven.
The ones that could actually smile and let this go were frightening. They were emotionless or had the heart of a saint.
The two emperors didnât fit into these two categories. The thing refraining them was their inability to see through Li Qiye.
Given the opportunity, they would certainly seek to avenge their fallen disciples.
âThe truth is that my only goal is vengeance, I donât care for anything else.â The true god sincerely said.
âYou have a good plan?â Stonecarver inquired.
Li Qiye was extremely strong but they were still curious. Remember, the prodigy and Goldtypha True Emperor were no slouches either. The prodigy was already a half-step Everlasting.
Goldtypha, on the other hand, was the disciple of Orchid Sage. Few in all of Immortal Lineage would dare to provoke him. Plus, he was strong too with eight palaces.
âWe can work together with them and prepare a fatal trap.â The true god said.
âIt wonât be easy.â Stonecarver shook his head.
He didnât deny the two menâs abilities. However, why would they join this mess?
âDonât worry, Three-eyed Prodigy is our academyâs senior and will seek justice. As for Goldtypha True Emperor, he has unfinished business with Li Qiye too. His disciple, Tiger King, was killed by the guy. Iâm confident that I can persuade them.â The true god revealed.
The two emperors became slightly tempted. Killing Li Qiye was akin to killing two birds with one stone - getting the eggs on top of avenging their disciples.
More importantly, they had the number advantage too if they could form an alliance with the prodigy and Goldtypha. Li Qiye shouldnât be able to escape.
âAre you certain that you can invite those two?â Stonecarver looked at the true god.
âDao Brothers, leave it to me. It will be either success or death.â The true god arched his chest forward.
âMight as well try.â The two emperors eventually agreed.
1. Itâs actually Dao Older Brother but that is too long
2. He refers to himself as a little brother here
