Chapter 5981: Wealth Incites Greed Spectators were drenched in sweat and lost their mind. The killing of Eight-treasure Monarch was shocking enough, but Li Qiye using Insane Spear to take down Sky Step King took the shock to the next level. This was Sky Step King - even the arrogant Furious Wind had to yield before him. Edge Mountain Crone might not be as strong as him either. Everyone knew it wouldn’t be difficult for him to destroy Insane Gate, hence their fear after his arrival. Thus, if Li Qiye could deal with him like an insect, he could also obliterate their sect with a single spear thrust. They previously looked down on him for being a mortal and felt insulted by the Chu’s decision to send him here. Furious Wind had thought about teaching him a lesson. Now, the mere recollection made his knees buckle. The one feeling the worst was Sky Step King. This was his first time seeing such a bizarre occurrence - a mortal wielding Insane Spear and breaking his shield. This renowned weapon was of the highest grade so a mortal shouldn’t have been able to use it so masterfully. As a disciple of a Grand Emperor, he had seen many strange things but this was a first. If Li Qiye had continued, he would have shared the same outcome as Eight-treasure Monarch. “Scram, I hope you learn a lesson today, stop disgracing your sect and heritage.” Li Qiye glared at him. Sky Step dared not to retort, escaping without bothering to get inside his carriage. Since he was lucky enough to be spared, there was no point in caring about his image. “Insane Spear.” Furious Wind dropped butt-first to the ground, staring at the weapon in Li Qiye’s grasp. The other elders felt the same way; glancing at the spear and then the sword floating above Li Shrine. Both weapons were in reach but none dared to make a move. After all, they still wanted to live. “Young Noble, the only thing comparable to your might is your wisdom.” The first elder immediately prostrated and sang praises. “Enough flattery, state your true intention.” Li Qiye glared at him. “Young Noble, our decline is as clear as day. You are from the same branch as us, please grant us a fortune to help us rise again.” The first elder turned red but still closed his eyes and kowtowed repeatedly. He was no fool and could tell Li Qiye was special. If they could receive his blessing, the benefits would be boundless. Li Qiye glanced at the spear before smiling at them: “I’m guessing you want this spear.” “Insane Spear and Furious Immortal Swords are our ancestral heirlooms, capable of protecting us for generations. Please have pity and grant us one of them.” The first elder said respectfully. “Please have pity and grant us one of them.” Furious Wind and the others wisened up and knelt, kowtowing while chanting. Furious Wind had looked down on Li Qiye for being a mortal. Nevertheless, he knew when opportunities came knocking. Miss it and they would never see the two weapons again. “Do you think you all are worthy of the two heirlooms given your insight, temperament, and effort?” Li Qiye shook his head. The group had no response. “So what if I gift the two weapons to your sect? Will you grow stronger overnight and become unbeatable with them? No, putting wielding them aside, can you protect them?” He continued. “Well..” They couldn’t answer again. “Wealth only incites greed and disaster.” Li Qiye said: “Given your ability or lack thereof, it would not be long until others destroy your sect and seize the weapons.” They had no retort since the logic was sound. If the public were to know of their possession, destruction was only a matter of time. “Forget about them and continue to maintain the spark. Keep working hard and when someone in your sect is qualified, they will return to Insane Gate.” LI Qiye said. “Rumble!” With that, he sent the two weapons back into Li Shrine. This created a maelstrom that twisted Li Shrine into a single point. Eventually, everything disappeared, leaving an empty field behind. The group watched in a daze. It was a good thing that Li Qiye didn’t leave with their ancestral heirloom. However, how long would it take for someone from their sect to become eligible? “Boom!” The ground shook and something flashed in the distance, attracting Li Qiye’s attention. “What is that place?” Li Qiye asked. “Radiant Longevity Valley.” Edge Mountain Crone responded. Incense Daoist calculated and said: “This happens every millennium over there, it’s about time.” “Let’s go.” Li Qiye started walking and the two hurriedly chased after him. “Young Noble!” The first elder shouted. “Become better first before thinking about revitalization.” Li Qiye disappeared into the horizon while riding the daoist’s cart.
