Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150

The Heavenly King of the Rakshasa Clan pondered this name, instantly feeling apprehensive. Although a Heavenly Emperor-level power was not particularly troublesome for the Rakshasa Clan, he was only a Heavenly King. Annoying Emperor Hua Qing could lead to severe repercussions for him.

He didn’t fully trust the words of the person in front of him; Li Yi claiming to be a subordinate of Emperor Hua Qing couldn’t be taken at face value. Many boast about their affiliations.

Moreover, given the vastness of the Heavenly Realm and the Sea of Ruins here, losing a Heavenly Soldier would be difficult to trace.

"So, you’re a subordinate of Emperor Hua Qing." The Heavenly King of the Rakshasa Clan smiled and bowed, "I mean no harm, just wanted to ask if you have encountered the Water Avoiding Beast?"

"Water Avoiding Beast?" Upon hearing this name, Li Yi immediately recalled events when he first arrived in this world.

However, he hesitated.

Was the mention of the Water Avoiding Beast a genuine inquiry or a form of probing?

Considering his newness to the world and incomplete knowledge of its workings, he thought carefully before replying.

"While searching for the Jingwei Bird, I encountered a group of Water Avoiding Beasts in the west. If the Heavenly King wishes to find them, you can fly in that direction for about twenty days," Li Yi said with a blank expression.

"Oh, truly?" The Heavenly King seemed pleased, "Didn’t expect my luck to find Water Avoiding Beasts in the Sea of Ruins."

Without direction, locating specific creatures in this vast sea was challenging. Even a Heavenly King lacked the means, making this exploration a gamble.

"Since you know the location of the Water Avoiding Beasts, join me in retrieving them. After I obtain the Water Avoiding Pill, I’ll ensure you leave the Sea of Ruins," the Heavenly King extended an invitation.

Li Yi’s face darkened.

This wasn’t an invitation but coercion.

"If Emperor Hua Qing’s matters are delayed, my execution is trivial, but it might implicate you too," Li Yi responded swiftly.

The Rakshasa Clan’s Heavenly King laughed, "Relax. I’ll personally escort you to meet Emperor Hua Qing to explain, and with the Rakshasa Clan’s reputation, I’m sure he’ll understand."

Clearly, he wasn’t fully convinced by Li Yi’s words.

"Come, let’s go and return quickly without delaying matters," he gestured.

Four Jiao Dragons had already brought a flying ship, hovering at the nearby cloud sea.

Onboard were powerhouses from the Rakshasa Clan, including Heavenly Soldier-level and Heavenly General-level individuals, all formidable in strength.

"Since the Heavenly King requires me to lead, I cannot refuse. Just hope we’re fast, as the Jingwei Bird’s whereabouts vary, and without the Jingwei Stone, even with Emperor Hua Qing himself, we’ll face accountability," Li Yi said, feigning anger and discontent before heading for the ship.

The Rakshasa Clan’s Heavenly King’s gaze subtly sharpened.

He started to believe Li Yi might be Emperor Hua Qing’s subordinate, making the pursuit of the Jingwei Stone plausible.

This treasure was beneficial even to a Heavenly Emperor.

Many Heavenly Emperors sent Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to the Sea of Ruins searching for treasure traces; it wasn’t unusual.

Although he sought the Water Avoiding Beast, many considerations took precedence over how to deal with Li Yi later.

Once Li Yi boarded the ship.

He attracted many hostile gazes.

They were Rakshasa Clan powerhouses scrutinizing Li Yi, seemingly unfriendly.

"The Rakshasa Clan generally dislikes humans, but don’t be tense; it’s normal. Earth people like you deceive as facilely as eating or drinking, making excellent pretenders. Haha, using my name, Emperor Hua Qing, is a stroke of luck and unexpectedly a benefit," laughed a voice within Li Yi’s mind.

Unexpectedly, using him, Emperor Hua Qing, although long gone, worked slightly beneficially, saving Li Yi from being slain by the Rakshasa Clan’s Heavenly King.

Of course, this may change once the Water Avoiding Beasts are found.

Later, Li Yi might still face death.

"Why does the Rakshasa Clan dislike humans?" Li Yi ignored the latter words, seeking the reason.

"Because humans are handsome. Look at these Rakshasa guys; each one is brutish and ugly, right?" Hua Qing explained.

"At this cultivation level, altering appearances shouldn’t be hard," Li Yi remarked.

Hua Qing replied, "All transformation spells leave traces; only natural appearances adhere to the heavenly law. The means to see through illusions are myriad in the Heavenly Realm. The Rakshasa Clan’s ugliness is universally known; no disguise can overcome it."

"Well... so it’s jealousy over my looks, no wonder they’re hostile. Now I understand," Li Yi mused, fingers on his chin, meeting the Rakshasa Clan powerhouses’ gazes without fear.

Suddenly, a Rakshasa Clan Heavenly General couldn’t endure Li Yi’s gaze, roaring furiously before vanishing instantly.

A lethal crisis enveloped Li Yi entirely.

"Not good, this guy lost it," Li Yi gasped.

He expected Heavenly Realm cultivators to act sanely, but he found they weren’t immune from impulsiveness. Just ugliness spurred someone to murder.

Given his current level—flowers in bloom—he wasn’t a match for a Heavenly General.

Infusing mana and divine power into his Black Gold Star Armor, he hoped its defense would withstand this assault.

Yet immediately following.

Worlds trembled, cloudy seas scattered, and the furious Rakshasa Clan Heavenly General was blasted away without time to react.

"What happened? Did the Heavenly King intervene?" Li Yi instinctively wondered.

But apparently, it wasn’t the case.

Instead, a stunningly alluring woman appeared before the stunned Heavenly King, clad in revealing attire, capturing unparalleled allure even from behind. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⚑fire.net

"Almost lost a handsome gentleman! Too bad, why not gift him to me? I’ll pamper him and on a lonely voyage," the woman laughed, her seductive voice penetrating deep into hearts, igniting uncontainable flames.

"Beware, that’s a Rakshasa woman—bewitchingly beautiful, malicious. Stay cautious," Hua Qing’s voice again warned.

Li Yi’s expression shifted, eyeing her.

As she turned, her devilishly enchanting face revealed itself; her red Treasure Robe framing her like a blooming Mandala Flower.

"Why are Rakshasa men so ugly while women are so stunning?" Even Li Yi, well-versed, found her alluring beyond measure.

Seeming a physical embodiment of desire itself.

"It’s the Rakshasa Clan’s trait, but don’t be fooled by appearances. Rakshasa women, though pretty, are vicious, enjoying heart-plucking during excitement, sometimes devouring them raw," Hua Qing explained, "Although, if able, you might persuade her to bear your offspring, marrying you without hesitance."

"No, thank you," Li Yi promptly responded.

"Your aura is unusual; you’re no ordinary human cultivator," suddenly, this Rakshasa woman appeared behind him.

Her fair arm wrapped around his neck, drawing close to inhale deeply.

Li Yi instinctively tightened, silver lightning weaving around, divine power intending to repel her.

But she remained unmoved, her beautiful eyes intensifying in heat, "Though weak, your lightning power shows great potential—any ties to the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Realm?"

Then, the Rakshasa Clan Heavenly King boarded the ship, advising, "Treat this fellow politely; he’s Emperor Hua Qing’s subordinate, leading us to the Water Avoiding Beasts."
