Chapter 4014: Gathering Of Enemies
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
Sea Emperor Sword Kingdom being provoked in public was a monumental event. Thatâs why everyone paused and stared at Li Qiye.
The poor guy had offended Sea Emperor instead of just its members. The latter case was fine since it could be interpreted as youthful competition. It didnât warrant the actual sectâs involvement; the seniors there wouldnât care enough to participate either.
After all, cultivation was a path filled with grudges and dangers. Death was a common outcome.
Not all sects wished to overly shelter their young disciples. However, their reputation and authority being challenged was a different matter. This could end with a fight until the very last man.
In this case, his opponent was Sea Emperor and worst of all, Sword Continent was their home turf. A good outcome would be him dying alone. The worst consequence would be dragging his sect and clan down with him.
Xu Yiyun smiled wryly after hearing Li Qiye. Few dared to oppose Sea Emperor in this manner. Chen Cangsheng was slack-jawed as well. He wanted to stop Li Qiye but it was already too late.
He has been around long enough to understand how serious this was. Unfortunately, the words have left Li Qiyeâs mouth. There was no take back now.
He didnât expect Li Qiye to be so fierce. He thought that the guy was special back during their first meeting but this still caught him by surprise.
âThe brat is actually challenging Sea Emperor Sword King, heâs insane.â An older expert shook his head.
âHeâs ignorant of its true power. Heâll be crying and regretting soon enough.â A youth stared at Li Qiye with disdain.
âWhere is he going to stay in Sword Continent now?â Another snorted.
The spectators didnât think highly of Li Qiye. They thought that his future was going to be grim.
âHaha, your audacity is actually impressive.â Starshooter Prince laughed in response: âFine, Iâll play along with your suicidal tendency. How do you want to die?â
âStand aside, I donât want others to think that Iâm a bully.â Li Qiye waved his hand dismissively as if he was swatting a fly.
This infuriated the prince who was already annoyed at Li Qiyeâs arrogant attitude thus far.
As a genius of the young generation, he was qualified to be arrogant. Whether he was or otherwise was a separate issue.
Moreover, being a member of Sea Emperor meant that he was superior to everyone else. One shouldnât forget his noble bloodline either.
Just his title and status alone demanded respect. Even the seniors needed to treat him with respect.
âBrat, Iâll teach you a lesson by sending you to the afterlife.â The prince became murderous, unable to accept being looked down upon by a junior.
Li Qiye scoffed and ignored the youth. Meanwhile, some crowd members could see the princeâs fury.
âHeâs dead.â A young one commented.
The atmosphere became tense enough that a fight could break out at any moment.
âStop, his life is mine.â Someone suddenly interjected.
Everyone looked over and saw a green-dress woman approach with an old man behind her.
âCalm Bamboo Princess?â They recognized her and whispered.
âYour Highness.â The members of Sword Sea bowed towards her right away.
âYour Highness.â Even the proud Starshooter Prince did the same.
These two had an even background. The only thing elevating her status above his was her engagement to Peace Ocean Sword King. Thus, she would be representing the main branch in the future. The prince had no choice but to assume inferiority.
She nodded her head before focusing on Li Qiye.
âLooks like quite a few people want my life. Time to team up then?â Li Qiye smiled at the princess.
âDonât you know that insulting Sea Emperor Sword Kingdom is punishable by death?â She glared at him.
âDonât you know that insulting me is punishable by nine-clan exterminations?â Li Qiye retorted.
The crowd erupted in laughter after hearing him.
âDoes he think heâs a big shot or something? He must still be drowsy! There should be a limit to bragging.â A youth commented.
âHeâs probably arrogant enough to think that itâs the truth.â Another female cultivator sneered.
Lu Qi didnât share the same thought. Her lord could absolutely say something like this and they wouldnât dare to utter a single word back.
Li Qiye was actually one step higher - a supreme overlord exceeding all imaginations. Lu Qi thought that Li Qiyeâs comment was absolutely correct.
Insulting such a being would result in total annihilation. Thatâs just common sense.
Xu Yiyun pondered as well. A while ago, she would agree with the crowd but now, she thought about his background.
That line was apt when it came to cultivators similar to the five overlords. However, he wasnât one of the five and she couldnât come up with another identity.
Chen Cangsheng was left speechless by Li Qiyeâs audacity. This guy dared to talk to the future queen of Sea Emperor in this manner?
The guyâs eccentric style wasnât an explanation for his haughtiness. Attributing it to insanity didnât seem right either. Cangsheng simply didnât get Li Qiye.
âI hope your ability is enough to warrant your confidence, and that itâs not just all empty-talk.â The princess became curious as she stared at Li Qiye.
âRIght now?â Li Qiye stretched lazily and said: âFine, I donât have anything to do anyway. Iâll play with you for a bit, a little exercise canât hurt.â
