Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183
Although Li Yi is not someone who enjoys getting into trouble, Hua Qing has been with him for many years and has guided his cultivation. Now that he has sent Hua Qing back to the Emperor City, he decided to help him one last time.
Furthermore, carrying the identity of a direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family, he can indeed act more boldly.
At this moment, Li Yi flew towards the Green Gold Sky-reaching Tower.
However, before he got close, the patrolling Heavenly Soldiers spotted him, but their expressions changed drastically and they dared not stop him, fearing he might destroy them with just a wave of his hand.
"Quickly notify the commander, a powerful figure has arrived." A Heavenly General, who was the captain of the group, immediately took action to fly forward, while others went to report the news as he engaged with the visitor.
"I am Mo Sha, the Emperor City Guard Captain of the Huaqing Emperor City. May I ask the purpose of your visit, young master?" This Heavenly General named Mo Sha was extremely respectful.
Even though he was a Heavenly General, he understood that the visitor must be from a powerful clan in the Heavenly Realm. Even though he did not know why he traveled here, he certainly could not offend him.
"I am Taiyi from the Heavenly God Clan. I want to meet your Heavenly King Qinglan and Shadow Clothes Heavenly King. Are they here now?" Li Yi asked bluntly.
Mo Sha felt a chill in his heart, for he knew of this race. Having served on the World Boat, he was aware of the Heavenly God Clan’s power and that they had a Heavenly Venerate commanding them, making them famous in the Heavenly Realm.
"Our commander has not been here recently. Would it be possible for the young master of the Heavenly God Clan to visit another day?" Mo Sha thought for a moment and replied.
He felt that this person did not come with good intentions and sought an excuse to put him off.
Moreover, at this time, a major event was happening in the Emperor City; people from the Heavenly God Clan arriving here was not good news.
Li Yi’s gaze shifted: "So, both Heavenly King Qinglan and Shadow Clothes Heavenly King are still alive? Very well, give them an hour to meet me. If they do not appear, I will take the Heaven-Reaching Tower."
At this moment, he transformed into an overbearing, arrogant young master, threatening the Heavenly Kings openly.
Though it was a display of backing one’s power with status, it felt good.
In the world, it’s all about identity and background. Is being a Heavenly King impressive? Let them try talking to a Divine Emperor of the Heavenly God Clan.
This statement was made.
Mo Sha’s expression changed suddenly, but he was at a loss for what to say. He worried that chastising him might anger the visitor.
If nothing was done, what if the visitor indeed took the Heaven-Reaching Tower by force after an hour?
Now he only hoped the commander would appear quickly to spare them from this predicament.
"How bold! Even if from the Heavenly God Clan, you can’t bully us . Do you really think our Emperor City has no one?"
At this moment, a sudden shout erupted.
The door of the Heaven-Reaching Tower opened, and a young cultivator led a group of Heavenly Generals out, fully armed and brimming with killing intent, ready for confrontation.
Li Yi glanced at the young cultivator: "Who are you?"
This young man, his strength somewhat weak—only at a Heavenly Soldier level of combat power—looked young but seemed to hold a high status, otherwise he wouldn’t have the authority to lead this group of Heavenly Generals.
"Who I am is irrelevant. If you are here to enjoy the sights of Emperor City, you are welcome. If you are here to cause trouble, know that my Emperor City Guard will not be trifled with. A real conflict wouldn’t end well for anyone. Even for a member of the Heavenly God Clan, in this remote place, your clan might not even know if anything happens."
The young man spoke coldly.
"Young in age, yet bold in words, a mere Heavenly Soldier dares to be disrespectful to me? Let me teach you a lesson, show you how high the sky is." Without another word, Li Yi stepped forward and vanished instantly.
"Young Master Mingde, be careful." Several Heavenly Generals immediately reacted and shielded him.
But in the next moment, a fist stained with five colors struck like a mountain, horizontally crashing into the scene. Five Heavenly Generals joined forces to attempt to block the strike, but their expressions changed drastically upon impact.
The seemingly light strike revealed its terrifyingly domineering power upon contact, not like a combat force a Heavenly General should possess.
Under the outburst of divine power, the five Heavenly Generals were instantly blown away; one even spewed blood, severely injured on the spot.
"Too weak, you are all too weak, unable to withstand even one of my strikes." Li Yi looked down at them, shaking his head with little interest.
After refining his skillful gate and Divine Blood, his combat power among the Heavenly General Realm was extraordinary. Only those who reached the Heavenly King Realm were qualified to battle him; otherwise, they would fall instantly.
"So this is the combat power of the Heavenly God Clan? Same as a Heavenly General, yet he can fight against five..." The other Heavenly Generals were shocked upon seeing this.
Though they knew that amongst powerful races in the Heavenly Realm, extraordinary bloodlines produce exceptional combat power within the same realm, they did not expect the disparity to be this vast.
"Your commanded Heavenly Generals seem unable to protect you, come here." Li Yi demanded, stretching out his hand to grab across the air, like a True Dragon extending its claw, such overbearing means were impossible for even a Heavenly General to shield.
The young man’s face turned pale with fear.
He didn’t expect his Emperor City Guard to be so inadequate as a defense.
But just at this moment.
Suddenly, a surge of Heavenly King’s Power erupted from the Green Gold Sky-reaching Tower behind, then this power shielded the young man in front, preventing Li Yi’s action.
"Heavenly King?" The Cold Mountain Heavenly King behind immediately squinted, if a Heavenly King intervened, then she wouldn’t hold back and would surely strike to kill the enemy.
Perhaps it was precisely because the Heavenly King at the Heaven-Reaching Tower knew Li Yi had a Heavenly King-level guard behind him that he did not act against Li Yi but instead appeared immediately and attempted to resolve the conflict.
"Your Excellency, as part of the Heavenly God Royal Family, your status is noble, destined to become an illustrious Heavenly King in the future, why make things difficult for a mere soldier from a remote area?" Follow current novels on novel★fire.net
At this point, a woman’s voice rang out, she stared at Li Yi but was even more wary of the Cold Mountain Heavenly King.
The Heavenly King from the Heavenly God Clan, extraordinary in combat power, was not someone she could defeat.
Li Yi asked, "May I know this Heavenly King’s name?"
"Weren’t you just looking for me? I am the Heavenly King Qinglan of Huaqing Emperor City." The woman revealed her true form, a pure and beautiful woman.
But there was always a hint of sharpness in her eyes.
"Mother." The young man then called out, as if finding a reliance, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yi’s expression turned peculiar: "This clueless boy, he is your son?"
"Indeed, my son." Said the Heavenly King Qinglan.
Li Yi was about to speak.
At this moment, Hua Qing, who was residing within him, suddenly wailed: "Beast, beast, I had merely reincarnated for cultivation for a period, upon return, this Qinglan had actually birthed a child."
"How dare she betray me , I’ve treated her well, treated her well indeed, back then she was just an ordinary Human Clan cultivator, it was my appreciation for her difficult cultivation, and her sincerity and loyalty, that I kept her by my side as a concubine, taught her cultivation, gifted her King’s Weapon, yet how long has it been..."
Hua Qing felt deeply betrayed, he was so angry he would vomit blood.
"Hua Lu, don’t be upset, look on the bright side, you’ve been dead for so many years, it’s normal for someone to remarry, you can’t expect someone to be a widow for you forever." Li Yi comforted him with a remark.
"Kill her, kill her, I want to kill her." Hua Qing was still roaring, venting his inner rage.
Li Yi said, "Hua Lu, don’t be too quick to explode, don’t you want to know who your concubine birthed the child with? At least find out who the adulterer is, so you can seek revenge in the future, right?"
"Makes sense, I want to kill this vile woman, and kill that adulterer too, I must have revenge, revenge..." Hua Qing was now obsessed.
He had thought Qinglan Heavenly King might have trouble managing Emperor City for some reason, or even suffered a disaster, forced to leave Emperor City, or even thought she was dead.
Never imagined Qinglan had thoroughly betrayed him.
Didn’t the people of Emperor City know she was the Emperor’s Concubine of Hua Qing?
Who would dare to touch an Emperor’s Concubine?
For a moment, numerous possibilities flashed through Hua Qing’s mind, but he couldn’t think of anything substantial because same realm Emperors wouldn’t be so idle to snatch someone’s concubine.
And if some enemies wanted to do this, they wouldn’t let Qinglan stay in Emperor City and would have directly abducted her for myriad torments.
But regardless of how Hua Qing wailed, he could do nothing now.
"Your Excellency as the Heavenly God Clan came from afar, might it be also for the Imperial Palace matter? If it’s for that matter, there’s no need for a big fight, simply say the word, I am willing to let Your Excellency join in." Qinglan Heavenly King saw Li Yi remain silent and thought he was angered, she immediately spoke, taking a conciliatory stance.
"Imperial Palace? Is it Huaqing Imperial Palace?" Li Yi’s expression shifted and he asked.
"Indeed." Qinglan Heavenly King said, "There are ninety-nine Imperial Palaces in total, due to the Great Emperor’s absence, the Empress has taken ninety away, the succeeding eight Imperial Palaces were also breached for various reasons, the treasures inside were divided up, now only one last Imperial Palace remains, soon to be breached."
"As long as Your Excellency agrees to cooperate with me, you can get a share from this last Imperial Palace."
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard someone mention the Qinglan Heavenly King once was an Emperor’s Concubine, with Hua Qing the Great Emperor absent, what you do is truly benevolent."
"The Great Emperor is deceased, I must find another path, moreover this is my private matter, does the Heavenly God Clan must interfere?" Qinglan Heavenly King’s attitude changed, more stern.
It seemed the status of Emperor’s Concubine was her reversed scale, unwilling to be touched.
If anyone dared to raise this to her face, she would surely kill them.
But facing this Heavenly God Royal Family member before her, she truly couldn’t afford to provoke, even if the Great Emperor were alive, he would have to show courtesy to this person.
"Haha, since the Qinglan Heavenly King is so sincere, today’s matters are dismissed, yet I am quite interested in the Imperial Palace affair, hope not to be disappointed when the time comes." Said Li Yi with a smile.
Heavenly King Qinglan said, "In twenty days, the last Imperial Palace will open, this is confidential, few know about it, please keep it secret, for each person knowing is an additional competitor, of course, Your Excellency must have the courage, though you have extraordinary potential, relying only on Heavenly General status to enter the Imperial Palace is quite dangerous, if anything happens, don’t blame me for not warning."
"Don’t trouble yourself." Li Yi finished speaking, "Then we’ll see each other in twenty days."
He had already acquired some information, without delay, it was time to ask Hua Qing about the Imperial Palace affair.
