Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 587: Accidentally Exposed

The upper echelons of the Dream Swamp received news that a descendant of the Wen Dynasty was forging a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

But there was no movement on this end.

The leadership was baffled. Isn’t the forging of a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon a major event that would shake several large regions?

Although they harbored doubts, an order had been issued from above. This prompted them to dispatch Yun Ze and others to the Southern Diaspora lands to investigate. Once confirmed, they would deploy their powerhouses.

Unexpectedly, just as Yun Ze and her companions had stepped out of their home, they were stopped by Li Qi.

However, Yun Ze was astute. She managed to deceive Li Qi with a little trick, intending to enter the Southern Diaspora lands from another location.

"Human cultivators are really foolish," Yun Ze said with a light laugh.

As she thought of Li Qi’s clueless expression while he waited anxiously in the teahouse, his eyes fixed earnestly on the narrow path, her smile grew even wider. However, a companion suddenly stuttered, "Yun Ze, he... he, he’s also here."

Several figures stood quietly in the distance.

Guang Xiaoyu, a smile on her face, looked spirited and wise, as if she had seen through everything.

Li Qi looked dazed and incredulous. He realized that the girl named Yun Ze had actually deceived him; she never intended to take the narrow path but had taken a detour instead.

If Xiao Yu hadn’t guessed, he wouldn’t know how long he’d have to wait.

The powerhouses from the Dream Swamp were all stunned.

Yun Ze felt as if she’d been struck by lightning, completely flustered. Then, she rubbed her eyes to ensure she wasn’t seeing things, and widened her eyes in anger, exclaiming, "Are you sick or something?"

She was certain she didn’t know Li Qi.

So why had he blocked her path twice?

Fury contorted Yun Ze’s face.

Li Qi exhaled slowly and stepped forward. His robes fluttered, stirring the fallen leaves beneath his feet, and then he struck.

A black sun blossomed, its skill power engulfing everything before it.

Following that, he threw a punch.

"You..." Yun Ze was shocked. "Are you a Demon cultivator too?"

Within the black sun swirled a powerful Demon Tao Power, yet the punch he threw was composed of genuine Spirit Qi.

How very odd.

Li Qi fought with sweeping, powerful moves, his expression calm, his earlier hesitation gone, replaced by firm resolve.

"A mere Lord dares to strike at me?" Yun Ze scoffed, sensing Li Qi’s cultivation realm.

Previously on the narrow path, Guang Xiaoyu’s presence and Li Qi easily shattering her attack had thrown her into disarray.

But now was different.

She had returned to the Dream Swamp and brought powerful Divine Weapons and a few trump cards.

"The Dream Swamp primarily cultivates Nightmare Skills, which aim to conquer the mind. Bewitching Techniques do the same, attacking the Divine Sense. It’s just a pity that this Li Qi fellow doesn’t fall for any of it," Guang Xiaoyu chuckled. "Including your domain—it’s all completely ineffective."

...

Damn it.

Yun Ze trembled with rage, her previous dominance gone. She quickly retreated, but Li Qi’s attack had already landed.

The Power Path was immense.

His punch landed squarely on her, contorting her face and making her body tremble.

At that moment, the four powerhouses behind her also reacted, attacking at the first opportunity.

They were all Saint Realm cultivators. Even though Li Qi countered their Nightmare Skills, they could still use other Demon Tao techniques.

A pair of massive black hands materialized, swiftly striking towards Li Qi.

Another unleashed a Demon Tao Sword. Dense Demon Tao Power burst forth, sweeping across the sky like a Flood Dragon lunging forward.

Li Qi confronted them unperturbed, showing no fear. The black sun continued to bloom as his fists hammered forward with sweeping, powerful moves, his momentum magnificent.

Although he was only a Lord, a great disparity from the Saint Realm, he possessed a Solar Saint Body, which suppressed all forms of Demon Tao.

Furthermore, the True Solar Scripture’s burning power greatly enhanced his combat prowess.

WHOOSH!

A black vortex emerged, resembling a Demon Flower in bloom, and immediately swallowed the attacks of the five.

They were dumbfounded.

"Huh?" Guang Xiaoyu said, surprised. "Swallowing Power?"

She remembered that the True Solar Scripture didn’t possess such an ability. It was a Divine Skill; it shouldn’t involve swallowing.

But how had Li Qi managed to use it?

She thought of that renegade Disciple of hers—also a Solar Saint Body—who always managed to surprise her with his cultivation of the Demon Tao.

Suddenly, she understood.

"Human Clan whelp, if you keep pressing so aggressively, don’t blame this lady for being ruthless!" Yun Ze snarled.

Five powerful Saint Realm experts acting together, yet they were being continuously pushed back by a mere Lord.

What a humiliation!

The others were inwardly shocked.

Li Qi didn’t speak, continuing his assault.

Behind him, Guang Xiaoyu sighed. Worthy of being my Senior Brother’s Disciple, truly cut from the same cloth. He’s starting to resemble him.

Suddenly, from high in the distant sky, a deafening boom resonated, shaking the heavens. It was followed by a surge of Heavenly Dao power, blasting out and radiating across several large regions.

The Human Clan’s borderlands, the Demon Race’s battlefields, the Western Wilderness, and the entire Southern Diaspora—everyone, all the powerhouses, sensed it clearly.

Li Qi and the Dream Swamp powerhouses instinctively ceased their battle, raising their heads to gaze in a certain direction.

Guang Xiaoyu stared blankly for a moment, then her eyes lit up with excitement. "It’s happening! Li Qi, your Master is guiding the power of the Heavenly Dao for tempering!"

"What do you mean?" Li Qi asked, bewildered. He had no idea what was happening.

The five powerhouses from the Dream Swamp were utterly shaken. They stared fixedly in that direction, carefully recalling the earlier tremor and the Heavenly Dao power now pervading the air.

They were breathless.

Someone was truly forging a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

Who could it be?

Yun Ze suddenly looked towards Li Qi. She’d just heard Guang Xiaoyu say "your Master."

Could it be...?

Yun Ze felt breathless again.

To forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon at the Saint Realm... and he’s already reached this stage! He truly is the man I’ve set my heart on! Guang Xiaoyu almost wanted to let out a long cry and depart immediately. Leave the Western Wilderness and return to the Southern Diaspora.

I must witness this unprecedented forging!

If he succeeds, it will undoubtedly shake the Nine Heavens.

Of that, there is no doubt.

Li Qi opened his mouth slightly. "Xiao Yu, what did you just say?"

"What did you hear?" Guang Xiaoyu turned back, her gaze burning into him.

Damn it!

I was too excited just now and accidentally blurted out my inner thoughts!

She felt a little flustered.

If Senior Brother heard that, what would become of my imperial dignity?

So direct! It was too unladylike.

It would cheapen me.

Meeting her gaze, Li Qi felt as if a wild beast had targeted him. A shiver ran down his spine, and he answered in a trembling voice, "No, I didn’t hear anything."

His worldview collapsed.

Xiao Yu... has a crush on Master?

Heh.

Guang Xiaoyu gave a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. "It’s better that way. Otherwise, the consequences will be very severe, you know!"

Li Qi was speechless.

She then turned her gaze to the other five.

"Hey, hey, hey! Aren’t you mistaken? We don’t know your Senior Brother at all!" Yun Ze protested, a sense of foreboding washing over her. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Dead people tell no tales."

"Nonsense..." Yun Ze secretly wiped away a bead of cold sweat and quickly explained, "Actually, we didn’t hear anything just now. We were too shocked! It’s unimaginable that a Saint Realm expert could forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon! Truly worthy of the man you’ve... I mean... I’m sorry, I misspoke!"
