My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1281 - 1268: Granting a Realm (Part 3)

For a moment, discussions abounded.

Many people regarded the Foundation Establishment expert as a righteous hero.

They all hoped he would kill Ye Guichen to avenge the deep grudges of those thousands of people.

On the night before the duel, in an uninhabited village over ten miles from the site of the duel, King Qi personally summoned this Foundation Establishment expert.

"Master Yan, are you confident in killing that lad?" King Qi looked seriously at the gaunt man before him.

The gaunt man donned a long robe, a sneer on his face: "King Qi, are you underestimating me? Haha, a snot-nosed kid in his twenties, I could kill him as easily as slaughtering a chicken or a dog."

King Qi shook his head: "Master Yan, I know your skills are exceptional; it is only out of necessity that I ask for your help this time. But I've heard that lad's cultivation is bizarre, and he's also possessed by an evil spirit, in case…"

"There's no 'in case', our Red Lotus Pavilion specializes in dealing with such ghostly entities. King Qi, as long as you fulfill your promised conditions, just make sure that lad shows up for the fight, he will be dead for sure!"

Master Yan waved his hand dismissingly, not taking King Qi's words to heart.

Seeing this, King Qi said no more, but nodded and cupped his hands towards Master Yan: "I'll leave it to you, Master Yan!"

"Haha, no problem at all!"

After Master Yan finished speaking, his figure swayed and he disappeared.

Once Master Yan left, King Qi frowned.

Someone came to King Qi's side, quietly asking: "King Qi, can this Master Yan be trusted?"

"This Master Yan was once a fighter under the Netherworld Emperor. Later, he was exiled after flirting with the Emperor's woman. He somehow stumbled upon the Red Lotus Pavilion; as you know, they are a third-rate sect, with a leader who is a Golden Core realm super expert, capable of crushing Foundation Establishment experts with a wave. Haha, bringing in this Master Yan this time, killing Ye Guichen shouldn't be hard."

"But what if he fails?"

King Qi glanced at his subordinate: "Haven't I ordered the capture of that girl Nolan Qingqing? Haha, we'll lay many hidden traps around the duel site. If Master Yan fails, we will strike together and, even if that lad has three heads and six arms, he won't escape my grasp."

"Moreover, Nolan Qingqing will be in our hands. With Nolan Qingqing as a hostage, that Ye lad will be restrained. With these triple assurances, taking that lad's head will be effortless."

"Clap, clap, clap!"

As King Qi was basking in his own plans, a sound of clapping echoed.

King Qi's spirit lifted.

Immediately, more than a dozen bodyguards surrounded King Qi.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" King Qi yelled angrily.

"Fall down!" The opponent seemed uninterested in fighting those bodyguards; with the words spoken, all the bodyguards fell as if mesmerized by some trance.

Only King Qi was left standing.

King Qi's pupils shrunk; he was in shock.

A single sentence caused all these experts around him to fall, just who was the other party?

Soon after, a shadow loomed in front of King Qi.

The other was a person in a black cloak so large, it completely hid his appearance.

Upon appearing, the cloaked figure sighed slightly: "Alas, if not for my powers being sealed, I wouldn't need to spare these people. Haha, with a single thought I could reduce them to nothing."

King Qi was shocked.

He had no doubt about the words spoken by the cloaked figure.

The guards under his command were all Qi Refining experts, each at the fifth tier, yet they couldn't even put up a fight.

This undoubtedly proved that the opponent, at full power, could obliterate his men with just a thought.

What a terrifying existence is this?

Could it be an Immortal?

Thoughts whirled in King Qi's mind, turning initial fear into excitement.

Even though he didn't know why the other appeared there, perhaps it was an opportunity.

"Qi Yinglong greets the Senior!" King Qi hesitated briefly before kneeling, indifferent to his own status.

The cloaked man paused slightly, not expecting King Qi's audacity, and laughed heartily: "Well, well, Qi Yinglong, you truly know how to adapt! Initially, I thought King Qin was a heroic figure, yet now it seems you are more treacherous and adaptable!"

King Qi flattered: "Senior overpraises. May I ask what guidance Senior has for me?"

King Qi lowered his stance, acting like a servant.

The cloaked figure seemed very pleased with King Qi's response, nodded slightly and smiled: "Qi Yinglong, you are quite impressive. Do you know who I am?"

King Qi had no idea who the cloaked figure was, hurriedly saying: "May Senior impart your wisdom."

"Do you know of the Holy Temple?"

"The Holy Temple?" King Qi's pupils slightly contracted, racking his brain, remembering the legendary Netherworld Mountain, the ghosts said to dwell there, Chaos Sea, and even the secret sects.

Though it was but a moment, countless thoughts flashed through King Qi's mind.

Then he discarded them all: "May Senior impart your wisdom."

The cloaked figure, expression unchanged, said: "I hail from the Holy Temple, you may call me the Holy Envoy. Haha, back then, the Seven Kings wrought havoc upon the Netherworld Emperor, King Qin benefiting the most. Over the years, every one of the Seven Kings aspired to become like the Netherworld Emperor, to unite the Seven Kings, yet none of you expected to be locked in a stalemate."
