Chapter 97 - The Irritated Sacred Lord Qiankun, Li Shiyi Had Arrived

"We definitely can't give it to him. According to some people, the Hidden Edge Sect has asked for too many things."

Bai Silin said.

"I've already asked someone to keep an eye on Li Shiyi. Once he comes near or if he comes to us, report it immediately."

Although she didn't get a clear list, she didn't know how many things the Hidden Edge Emperor had taken from the Heavenly Dao Academy.

However, she was still shocked when she gathered all the bits and pieces of information.

What kind of sacred items were those?!

She would feel heartbroken if she lost even one of them.

It was obvious that the Hidden Edge Emperor had taken more than just those items from the Heavenly Dao Academy.

"What should we do?"

Lin Yifang did not know what to do when he heard Bai Silin's question.

At the same time, he felt extremely aggrieved.

The sacred land had always been the only one who went to take things from other forces. Now, they were being bullied by others.

As the leader of the sacred land, he would not admit his mistake.

If it were not for the Qiankun Pavilion and Hongwu Holy Dynasty pressuring the Heavenly Dao Academy, they would not have incurred so much bad luck.

"How about if he takes out the list, we give him something as a token?"

Upon hearing the suggestion, Lin Yifang was still very frustrated.

The items on the list were too precious.

He really did not want to hand them over at all.

"We can't avoid giving them. Although our Qiankun Pavilion also has Emperor artifacts, we can't face the Hidden Edge Emperor alone."

Bai Silin began to advise Lin Yifang.

"The problem is, what if we give him less and he doesn't agree? No one knows where his bottom line is."

Giving a heavenly treasure of this level already made him feel as if he was cutting out his heart.

If he wanted more, he would feel terrible.

Bai Silin was also conflicted.

Sacred land forces like them were also forced to face a choice.

It was just like how they had oppressed other weak forces.

"How about we contact the people of the Hongwu Holy Dynasty right now? Based on Li Shiyi's stance, he definitely isn't finished."

Lin Yifang knew what she meant.

However, in his heart, the alliance of the two sacred lands was still unable to resist the current Hidden Edge Emperor.

Just as the two of them were in a dilemma...

Whoosh!

A red light flew into the room.

Bai Silin received it. It was a small flying sword.

Her expression changed drastically when she glanced at the contents of the flying sword.

"According to our tests, Li Shiyi has already come to our side. He has increased his speed. He's very fast!"

Lin Yifang's face also darkened.

"What do you mean by increasing his speed? Is he impatient and does he want to take something from my Qiankun Pavilion?"

They looked at each other.

As the two leaders of the sacred land, they had never felt this helpless before.

...

He Xiuxing was at the foot of the mountain of the Hidden Edge Sect. He raised his head and looked at the majestic mountain gate.

He was very excited.

He had left the sect for many years, and now he was back.

He sighed and walked toward the mountain gate.

"Who are you? What business do you have with the Hidden Edge Sect here?"

The disciple guarding the gate asked.

"I am He Xiuxing, a disciple of Reclining Firewood Peak. Fellow disciple, please let me in."

Hearing him announce his identity, the dozen or so disciples looked at each other.

Reclining Firewood Peak was now the most popular in the entire Hidden Edge Sect.

But now there were only three disciples in Reclining Firewood Peak.

Including the previous generation's chief disciple, Ye Changge, there were only four people.

Li Shiyi and Yu Tianxing's appearances were special, so it was easy to recognize them.

Li Shiyi was handsome. Moreover, he was the representative of many things on Reclining Firewood Peak, so he was very famous.

Yu Tianxing was a beautiful girl. Being able to conceal her cultivation at her age made her identity very obvious.

However, the vast majority of people from the Hidden Edge Sect had never seen He Xiuxing.

The most awkward thing was that Li Shiyi was not around, and Yu Tianxing had gone out as well.

They did not know Ye Changge's whereabouts.

As he was the Hidden Edge Emperor, it was even more unlikely that they knew his exact situation.

These disciples did not know what to do.

There was no way to confirm He Xiuxing's identity.

"Senior He, what proof do you have? The few seniors from Reclining Firewood Peak are not around."

He Xiuxing was also somewhat helpless.

He was dressed like a mortal, carrying an axe and a dog. How could he have anything to prove his identity?

"Do any of the other elders know your identity? We can report it to them. How about this?"

He Xiuxing just shook his head.

When he first joined the sect, he was very ordinary. Most likely, not many people would remember him. Who would know his identity?

At this moment, the Three-headed God-devil walked over.

"Greetings, quasi-emperor!"

Upon seeing his figure, all the gate-keeping disciples bowed respectfully.

This was a quasi-emperor!

A being that had the qualifications to break through to the Emperor realm.

"Mm."

The Three-headed God-devil answered indifferently.

"This is a person from Reclining Firewood Peak. I'm here to pick him up."

He said, pointing at He Xiuxing.

The gatekeeping disciples were astonished.

No one had expected that a quasi-emperor would come personally to welcome He Xiuxing.

Only the Hidden Edge Emperor could dispatch a quasi-emperor guest elder.

Could it be that in the Hidden Edge Emperor's eyes, He Xiuxing's status was very important?

The gatekeeping disciples were puzzled. Meanwhile, He Xiuxing followed the Three-headed God-devil into the sect.

"Thank you, quasi-emperor."

He said with a smile.

"My name is Lie Hou."

Lie Hou took the initiative to introduce himself.

He could tell that this disciple of the Emperor was extraordinary.

Although he looked ordinary at first glance, his actions were indeed in line with the Heavenly Dao.

This made him very impressed.

"As expected of the disciple of the Emperor. Indeed, everyone is extraordinary."

Lie Hou had a clear impression of Li Shiyi.

That young man had comprehended sword spirit at such a young age, and his strength was extraordinary.

Yu Tianxing also had extraordinary potential, and he could not see through her.

He Xiuxing was even more surprising now.

Soon, Ye Changge met this eldest disciple whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Master! Your disciple, He Xiuxing has come to pay his respects!"

Ye Changge nodded. "How was your trip?"

"I gained a lot. Although I don't know the exact cultivation level, I feel much stronger."

This somewhat dull answer made Ye Changge smile.

Through his investigation, he found He Xiuxing's progress very obvious.

Perhaps he already had some of the characteristics of a realm-breaking expert.

If he wasn't wrong, He Xiuxing might be the first disciple to have the strength of an Emperor.

At that time, his existence would definitely be extremely special.

"Master, I've obtained many spatial lotuses from the outside world. They are very magical. I'll make more gifts for you."

He Xiuxing took out the spatial lotuses and handed them over.

Ye Changge was very happy.

In his perception, this lotus pod was of great help to the Dao of space. It could be used as the main material to create a spatial barrier.
