Emperor’s Domination

asters tolerance.

“This Li Qiye…” The mountain king mused before continuing: “How strange, it doesnt make any sense. What do you know about him? Where is he from?”

“I dont know.” Fuyou retold the story of their meeting.

The mountain found the whole thing weirder. This hidden master was actually a mortal?

“Strange indeed.” He couldnt come up with an explanation.

“Are you worrying about something else? Like he is a spy from Three Truths?” Fuyou didnt suspect Li Qiye but he thought that his master could.

“No.” The king shook his head: “Any sect would highly value and groom such an amazing seed, no way they would send him away as a spy. Thats the same as throwing a meat bun to hurt a dog. Its just that we cant make head or tail out of it right now.”

Fuyou smiled wryly. He had tried to think about the potential scenarios but couldnt come up with a good answer so he eventually stopped.

“If youre right, then hes unfathomable. I dont think he wishes to enter our sect as an ordinary disciple in that case.” The king said.

“What do you mean?” Fuyou became worried.

“Its nothing, just keep watching. Its fine for our sect to have a supreme genius, no? Well get our answer one day.” The king smiled and shook his head.

Fuyou was worried that the sect might conspire against Li Qiye out of suspicion.

“I will keep this a secret for you.” The king said: “I wont report this to the sect master or the other peak lords. Hmm, all in all, just be careful. Dont let anyone take advantage of this and use it against you because I might not be able to protect you if something big happens.”

“I understand and will exercise prudence.” Fuyou nodded.

“Its different now.” The king sighed: “Demons are in charge of three peaks out of the five. Our Eight Zhang cant clap as loudly as before. If only Su Xu is still around…”

Fuyou became sentimental. He was closest to Su Xu among his own generation.

“What about the sect master?” He asked softly.

The leaders in charge of the humans were the mountain king and the sect master, Ping Suoweng of South Conch Peak.

“The sect master needs to be impartial.” The king shook his head: “In recent years, he rarely came down from South Conch nor participated in mundane affairs.”

“What is his intention?” Fuyou didnt get it. He remembered that the sect master has always been diligent with his work.

“We cant guess what hes thinking. Or maybe he has higher aspirations since he has become a saint for many years now.” The king said.

“A Heavenly Sovereign?” Fuyou was shaken.

Suoweng was the only person at the Grand Dao Sacred Physique realm in their sect. This made him the strongest here.

The next step would be the legendary Heavenly Sovereign level. However, it has been a long time since their sect had one.

A successful breakthrough would have immense significance for the sect. His status as the sect master would be untouchable then.

“Maybe.” The king wasnt sure: “But if your problem is cured, you will have to shoulder heavy responsibilities later. I can rest easy now that Eight Zhang has a successor.”
