Emperor’s Domination

dable.
After all, this has been the greatest puzzle of their clan.
Given Li Qiye’s comment, the guy might actually know the answer.

Li Qiye looked up at the sky with a profound gaze.
Time came to a halt as he peered through time and space.
His target was the farthest reach of the azure.

After a while, he told the daoist: “Fine, since your forefather paid the price, it is alright to tell you.
At the very end, he saw a figure and only part of the whole thing.
Unfortunately, this reading was too late.”

Back in the previous epoch, this reading would have been meaningful to Li Qiye.
Now, it was meaningless since Li Qiye already had a vivid idea of all the details and answers.

“A figure?” The daoist murmured.
This only made him more confused.
Nonetheless, his forefather must have seen something shocking.
It might have been the greatest fortune-telling in history.

However, why did seeing the figure cause a tribulation? Was it taboo just to look at the existence?

“So who is it?” The daoist couldn’t help but ask.

“That’s not something for you to know, it is above your reach right now.
If I were to reveal, ominous things will happen to you.
A tribulation, for one.” Li Qiye said.

This made him shudder.
He absolutely couldn’t handle the tribulation or the price suffered by his forefather, not his clan either.

“I understand.” The daoist bowed.

At this time, Jian Ming who went to look for information ran back and excitedly told LI Qiye: “I got it! I know where those thieves went, come, let’s go teach them a lesson!”

“That’s great.” Wise heaved a sigh of relief: “And watch your mouth, we’re not teaching anyone a lesson.
We are to take back our dao stone, that’s all.”

Wise was open-minded about this and could see the Yu not wanting to give back the dao stone.
He didn’t want to escalate the issue and made it more combative.

“Young Noble, are we going right now?” Wise asked for Li Qiye’s instruction.

“Yes, let’s take it back as soon as possible to avoid needless complication.” Li Qiye said.

As the group was leaving, the daoist hesitated for a moment and then decided to call out: “Great Immortal!”

“Oh, don’t want our young noble to leave? I’m sure you want to offer your service now.
That’s fine, we do need an errand boy.” Jian Ming said.

The daoist ignored him and said: “Great Immortal, Grotto Courtyard might have something fatefully connected to you.”

“What is it? An immortal artifact or something left behind by an ancient emperor?!” Jian Ming answered before Li Qiye.

“A girl.” The daoist’s expression became serious.

‘A girl?” This piqued Li Qiye’s interest.

“Grotto Courtyard bought her from an external source.
She was excavated from a dangerous location, encapsulated in a boulder yet still looking animated.
They want to auction her.” The daoist said.

“So like a fossil.” Jian Ming became invested.

“I don’t think so.
I believe she is still alive.” The daoist shook his head.
