Why Did You Provoke Him? All His Disciples Have the Potential to Become Emperors!

366: Successful incorporationLi Haotian slowly opened his eyes, and a wisp of flame immediately burst forth from them. When he closed them again, the flame inside was already extinguished. Pigsy looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

”You actually learned my Senior Brother’s Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze!”

Pigsy’s voice was trembling slightly. It had been many years since he had seen any Powerhouse use this technique.

Nezha also opened his mouth wide in surprise. Over the years, he had taken Erlang Shen’s Heavenly Eye and refined it into something of his own.

Originally, he wanted to acquire Monkey King’s Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, but the person before him had beaten him to it.

”Your Samadhi True Fire did burn the bug, but each time it only caused it immense pain. Although the bug becomes stronger after being scorched, absorbing all your Samadhi True Fire, you can kill this Gu Worm if you try a higher level of flame.”

Li Haotian saw the root of the problem with just a glance. Nezha immediately realized this, but he shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.

”Of course, I know that, but the strongest flame in this world is the Samadhi True Fire. I’ve searched for so many years and never found a stronger flame. Whether I try to force the bug out of my body or find a way to burn it to death, neither path works. The only thing I can do is serve the Heavenly Court like a dog.”

Nezha spoke fiercely, his eyes filled with anger.

How could he not hate the Heavenly Court? Yet, he was powerless. He was only trying to gather the Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze to strengthen his Samadhi True Fire, but that treasure had been snatched away by the other party. It seemed he had no chance left.

Li Haotian sighed softly.

”If you still think that way, then you can continue fighting. I believe Pigsy’s Cultivation is above yours now, and dealing with you would certainly be effortless for him.”

”If you are willing to trust me, stop now and come back with me to find a solution. I know where there are higher-level flames; the Samadhi True Fire is not the strongest flame in heaven and earth.”

Li Haotian looked at the other party calmly. Hearing this, Nezha merely scoffed and shook his head.

”Don’t joke with me. Even the flame used by the Grand Supreme Elder to perform Alchemy is the Samadhi True Fire. Where would you have me find a stronger flame?”

Just as Nezha was about to say something, he suddenly saw a wisp of black flame rising from Li Haotian’s hand. The intensity of that flame was clearly much stronger than his Samadhi True Fire!

Upon seeing this, Nezha’s pupils instantly contracted, and his eyes showed an expression of disbelief.

”If you have anything you want to discuss, just return with me to my faction. We can have a good talk then.”

After Li Haotian finished speaking, he beckoned Pigsy and turned to leave, giving Nezha no time to think. At this moment, Nezha gritted his teeth fiercely, clenching his fists tightly.

If it weren’t for this Gu Worm, he wouldn’t be so constrained by others. Both the Heavenly Court and the fellow in front of him were using this matter to control him.

When he reshaped his body back then, this Gu Worm was contained within the Lotus Root, leaving him no way to avoid it and no choice whatsoever.

The Heavenly Court’s threat to him was clearly greater than that of the person before him. After careful consideration, he chose to follow, intending to try the other party’s flame to see if it could burn the bug to death.

Li Haotian sensed the aura following behind him, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. This guy wasn’t stupid; he could make the right choice.

Li Haotian hadn’t actually planned on poaching from the Heavenly Court, but he did need someone there to keep an eye out for him, see what was happening, and report back at any time.

This way, he could know immediately if the Heavenly Court made any moves.

Once he gathered enough Immortal Emperor Experts, he would launch an attack on the Heavenly Court, destroy their Dao tradition, and seize power again!

Although Li Haotian didn’t want to do this, the other party had repeatedly caused him trouble and provoked his Disciple. If he could tolerate this, he might as well not live anymore.

He was a guy who possessed a System cheat, so how could he let the Heavenly Court off so easily?

The three quickly returned to the Sect together. Pigsy casually found an Immortal Cave and went into seclusion, planning to Cultivate properly and strive to be of some help in the future.

The Old Monsters in the Heavenly Court are currently stronger than the last. He hasn’t even passed a single Heavenly Tribulation yet. If he were to face them, he would likely face certain death.

Nezha quietly followed Li Haotian into a Great Hall. His brows were tightly furrowed. The other party had remained silent about the wisp of flame earlier, and he had come here precisely to find a way to deal with the Gu Worm.

After a long while, Nezha finally couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke directly.

”You...”

Li Haotian gently waved his hand.

”I can indeed help you, but you must also find a way to compensate me with something.”

”I do have flames here that can resolve your Gu Worm problem, but the issue is that I am currently worried about when the Heavenly Court might make a move against me, as my current faction is strong enough to pose a threat to the Heavenly Court’s existence.”

Li Haotian could clearly sense the Heavenly Court’s strong hostility towards him. At the same time, he believed the Heavenly Court had definitely left contingencies within his Immortal Kingdom—this was the kind of malicious trick these old fellows loved to play.

Nezha nodded but did not reply, preparing to listen to what the other party would say next.

”I need you to act as my eyes within the Heavenly Court. This Gu Worm is extremely powerful, likely existing at the Peak Immortal King level, just like you. Although I possess extremely strong flames, killing it in one go won’t be easy.”

”After all, your Cultivation is so high. I need to wait until I Breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm before I have 100% confidence in killing this bug.”

”Return to the Heavenly Court now and help me monitor their movements. The moment they plan to take action against my faction, inform me immediately. If you do this, I will resolve the Gu Worm inside your body later.”

Li Haotian’s expression was very calm.

After thinking it over, Nezha nodded decisively.

”In that case, I will follow your suggestion. But what if you go back on your word later?”

Li Haotian smiled.

”Your lifeline is in my hands, as I can help you solve the Gu Worm problem. But at the same time, my lifeline is also in your hands. Before I become completely powerful, I still do not wish to be enemies with the Heavenly Court.”

Li Haotian’s meaning was clear: Nezha knew that he was harboring Pigsy, a wanted criminal of the Heavenly Court. If this matter were exposed, the Heavenly Court would likely send troops to attack.

The latter thought it over carefully and decisively nodded, accepting the deal.

”It’s a deal!”
