Emperor’s Domination

t could take him on.
Thus, Li Qiye’s claim was deliberately insulting.

The scene became quiet right away after Li Qiye’s blatant provocation.

“Fellow Daoist, this joke is out of line.” Three Slashes still forced a smile, albeit with a touch of coldness.

He tried his best to calm down and give Li Qiye a chance to take back his words.
Li Qiye would be foolish to not take this opportunity.

“I’m simply telling the truth.
Those who are too confident in their saber dao will die to the blade.” Li Qiye smiled and kept his stance.

Three Slashes could no longer smile since Li Qiye refused his good intention and double-downed.

“If you keep on babbling nonsense, your tongue will be cut off eventually!” Young Lord Tuhuo bellowed.

“Indeed, he can’t read anything at all and just wants to make a scene.
He’s lucky that Young Lord Biandu is benevolent.
Anyone else would have cut him down.” Others voiced their support for Three Slashes.

“He only got here recently and doesn’t know the power of the Biandu.” One ancestor talked among his peers, thinking that Li Qiye was suicidal for offending the number one clan.

“So shameless, he wants to display his slight skill in front of the experts.” Others chastised and looked down on Li Qiye.

Three Slashes maintained his composure and cupped his fist towards the Grand Seer: “Senior, this fellow daoist claims to be a master at fortune telling.
What do you think about his assessment after reading my appearance?”

The center of focus shifted to the Grand Seer.
Everyone thought that Three Slashes was crafty to do so.

If he had vented on Li Qiye earlier, he would have looked narrow-minded.
But now, by letting the Grand Seer assess Li Qiye’s comment, the guy would be humiliated without him needing to do anything.

The Grand Seer glanced at Li Qiye before answering: “The ceremony is still available.
You may go there and check for yourself.” 

Though he said nothing of Li Qiye’s ability, this was indeed a possible option.

“Right, the crystal ball is still available.
Young Lord, you can go take a look yourself.” An audience member told Three Slashes.

Three Slashes stared at the crystal ball on top of the well.
As the future leader of Black Wood, he exercised caution.
After all, an ominous sign would be quite disadvantageous.

“Go check it out.” Li Qiye smiled and nodded.

“So you’re still confident in your fortune-telling ability, Fellow Daoist.” Three Slashes replied.

“That’s right.” Li Qiye answered without hesitation.

“Young Lord, don’t waste your breath on this ignorant fool.
You’re the embodiment of the grand dao so your fortune should be impeccable…” Another youth interjected like a sycophant.

“Fine, I will check it out.
We will see if your confidence will waver or not.” Three Slashes glanced at Li Qiye then Wei Qianqing.

Having said that, he stepped onto the platform before the excited crowd.
They all wanted to know which visual phenomena would emerge.
To a certain extent, Three Slashes’ personal fortune also influenced Black Wood’s future.
