Chapter 6998: You Insisted

After a long time, he stared at the group and said: “There might be something down there.”

“Maybe the source?” Mo Xiangsheng asked.

“Most likely not, but there’s something.” Till Ancestor said.

“Who did you hear about the source being down there?” He asked the two.

“This has nothing to do with me, it’s just him.” Mo Xiangsheng pointed at Li Qiye.

“You.” Till Ancestor stared at Li Qiye again.

“Senior, be meticulous, see if you notice anything.” Mo Xiangsheng came closer and whispered.

Till Ancestor activated his heavenly gaze to scan Li Qiye. This was a dreadful matter; not even an overlord could endure it.

However, Li Qiye drank his tea as if he felt nothing more than a breeze. Till Ancestor concluded that Li Qiye was a mortal. However, he had directly used his dao to scan Li Qiye, garnering zero reaction.

This was illogical because a regular mortal would have been paralyzed with fear.

“You...” He staggered backward and broke out in cold sweats upon realizing that Li Qiye was a hidden master. He had brought such a danger with him all this time.

“Who are you?” He asked.

“Just a passerby.” Li Qiye smiled.

“How strong?” Mo Xiangsheng whispered to Till Ancestor.

The latter ignored him, unaware of an actual answer since the scan was useless.

“Brat, wait, Fellow Daoist...” Mo Xiangsheng didn’t know how to address Li Qiye: “Why did you follow me while hiding your cultivation?”

“You insisted, not the other way.” Li Qiye smiled.

“...” Mo Xiangsheng had no response.

Till Ancestor glared at him for exposing the two of them to such danger.

“My bad, my bad.” Mo Xiangsheng smiled wryly before asking Li Qiye: “What do you want from me?”

“You have nothing that I care for.” Li Qiye sipped his tea.

This furiated him as he said: “Hey, hey, be polite now, am I really that poor? I’m still the lord of a minor world with plenty of resources and money...”

His voice trailed off as he lost confidence: “Alright, not much compared to the rich places in Heavenrealm...”

Li Qiye smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Regardless of who you may be, we have no feud between us. Our paths do not cross.” Till Ancestor cupped his fist.

“And?” Li Qiye said.

“I only want the thing underground, I will leave upon obtaining it.” Till Ancestor said.

“A little bit for me too.” Mo Xiangsheng said.

“As I said, it is the celestial source down there. You know how precious it is.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Really?” Mo Xiangsheng was more convinced than before.

“The source.” Till Ancestor became a believer as well.

“Somehow found it by accident.” Mo Xiangsheng murmured in a daze. Although he claimed the source since the start, he knew seeing it was an impossibility for him, let alone seizing it.

This applied to Till Ancestor as well. Too many golden and primordial immortals have appeared , so his chance became zero.

But now, he was the closest one to the source. If he could be fast enough, he had the best chance. This temptation was too much for anyone to endure.

“Shall we cooperate and then share the source?” Till Ancestor took a deep breath and asked Li Qiye, the only one who mattered in this situation.

Mo Xiangsheng was only an overlord, the same for Ye Fantian. Although the latter was in charge of this land, power mattered than anything.

“No.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“You wish to monopolize it?” A frightening gleam flashed in Till Ancestor’s eyes.

Li Qiye smiled and said: “The source is here, but no one can take it away.”
