Emperor’s Domination

“Interesting. If you heard of me, you should know my style as well.” Li Qiye said.

“There is no free lunch. Just let me know what you need, Sacred Teacher.” He said.

“Is that within your ability?” Li Qiye smirked and removed his foot from the night fairy.

“As long as I can.” He said without hesitation.

“Master, you mustn’t. I am not worthy!” She stood back up and shouted.

“My disciple’s life is worthy.” He said, enough to drive any disciple to tears.

“I can’t ask for more, Master.” Tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Well said, then will you exchange your life for hers?” Li Qiye clapped and said.

“Master!” She shouted: “My only regret is being unable to repay your kindness.”

Having said that, she turned toward Li Qiye and said: “You can have my life, no need for this exchange.”

“Bam!” She destroyed her true fate and soul. Blood poured out of all orifices as she fell straight to the ground, dead.

“So unyielding, one can’t ask for more from a disciple.” The high priest sighed sentimentally while looking at her corpse.

“Silly girl.” Xian Chengtian’s sad expression could stir the heart of spectators.

“A good disciple.” Li Qiye nodded approvingly.

“The best among my disciples with the potential to surpass me.” He remarked.

“Were you a good disciple?” Li Qiye asked.

“No, not a good disciple but I was good to myself.” He shook his head.

“Which is why you didn’t mind betraying them.” Li Qiye nodded.

“Yes, I betrayed the masters so it makes sense that they want to take my life.” He contemplated briefly before answering.

He was the disciple of three immortals from the redemption grounds, not just one. They poured everything into him including hope. They saw themselves in the future through him since he could become an immortal.

In reality, he didn’t let them down, becoming a young supreme overlord compared to the old geezers in Three Immortals.

Alas, he betrayed them during Heavenslay, exposing their information and weaknesses to Dingtian. They lost the fight and fled as a result.

From then on, everyone knew about his betrayal but didn’t dare to comment on it. His power and invincibility weren’t enough to wash away his sin.

“Greed.” Li Qiye said.

“You can view it as that.” He said without any embarrassment or regret.

“You may elaborate.” Li Qiye said.

“I desired a legacy artifact, that was true.” He said.

“Their artifacts aren’t ordinary.” He said.

“Yes, every immortal has a legacy artifact, but my masters have special ones that couldn’t be created after the fact. They were born during the primordial.” He said.

“If you knew this, you also knew the implication.” Li Qiye said.

“Yes, they would die without the artifacts.” He said: “But since they didn’t mind breaking the rules to train me, I should break even more rules.”

“I see. They shouldn’t have come out to train a disciple since that would deplete them. Why not deplete them all the way?” Li Qiye commented.

“Exactly, Sacred Teacher.” His radiant and beautiful smile would incite envy from any beauty.

“They should have given the legacy to you, right?” Li Qiye smiled.

“It was fine if they were just grooming an ordinary disciple. However, they wanted an immortal.” He said.

“Yes.” Li Qiye nodded.

“Not just any immortal but one equal to Zhan Sansheng and Desolate Ancestor. The former’s master is an ancient true immortal while Desolate Ancestor’s master is none other than you. How could I compete against them?” He asked.

“Not with your mentality.” Li Qiye stared at him and said.

“I knew my limits as well.” He said: “That left me in a predicament. The only way was for my masters to pay any price.”

“Justifying one’s selfishness to this extreme is rare and not easy.” Li Qiye clapped and said.

“It’s the truth, Sacred Teacher. My problem was their problem since they wanted me to become an immortal. Your favorite phrase is that there’s no free lunch in this world. I must have the legacy artifacts to defeat the opponents.” He said.

“You are a rare talent, to speak about this topic so naturally and confidently.” Li Qiye stroked his chin.

“I don’t think my request was unreasonable given our goal.” He said.
