Chapter 6725: Hidden Parties “It was a heavy price, it should have been the heaven’s ordeal.” Li Qiye sighed. “You showed the way but your disciples were fearless even against the ferocious Mang and his alliance. That was the epitome of the dao heart, an indicator of your teaching ability.” The person said sentimentally. “They chose the hardest path, and I am proud of them for it.” Li Qiye sighed. “Never forgetting the original pursuit regardless of the unknowns. I suppose that is enough.” The person said. “Yes, which is why I am here to do what I should.” Li Qiye said. “I understand. I thought you would be leaving right away but it seems as if you will take it step by step with the sweep. Although you won’t be here any longer, your disciples will still be.” The person said. “They didn’t let me down, so I won’t let them down. I will hand this world over to them.” Li Qiye said. “A toast to you, Sir.” The person showed his respect. “Thank you.” Li Qiye raised his cup. “My move of entering the world conflicts with yours, I might destroy your roots.” The person said: “I can become the high heaven but can’t do what you did.” “It’s the difference between a primordial and a mortal.” Li Qiye said. “Being a mortal isn’t too bad, a sense of belonging.” The person said. “Precisely.” Li Qiye nodded. “Do you still want to leave despite knowing that you can become the high heaven?” The person asked. “It is my path, the mortal world isn’t my final destination.” Li Qiye said. “Is there anything I can do?” The person smiled. “A fight between us, that’s something you can do.” Li Qiye said. “You haven’t let go yet.” The person said. “I need a bit more time for a sweep.” Li Qiye replied. “I just happen to be able to wait a bit.” The person said. “Quite a nice coincidence.” Li Qiye said. The person glanced at the sky for a while before asking: “Do you think I can do it?” “You tell me.” Li Qiye said. “I don’t know, but this step must be taken.” The person sighed. “Yes, the heaven awaits.” Li Qiye nodded. “If I can’t do it, I hope you will be the one to shoulder.” The person paused a bit and said. “I’m not the only one, there are several more in waiting to gnaw if the next step fails.” Li Qiye said. “No, you are the only one that I want. As for the others, one or two are ready to gnaw.” The person said. “Just one or two?” Li Qiye found this surprising. “The rest are not worth mentioning.” The person smiled. “Dusk and Heavenfall?” Li Qiye became serious. “After the sweep, Dusk is dead, Heavenfall’s fate is unknown, probably not much better. The other juniors such as Dachui, all gone.” The person smiled. “Interesting, impressive firepower.” Li Qiye murmured. “It’s a shame you weren’t there to see it.” The person said: “The fellas hid for long enough and came out to throw the heaven into the pit. Dusk and Heavenfall lost their patience, but others remained hidden.” “I see.” Li Qiye said. “I’m sure you know who they are.” The person smiled. “I have guesses and will verify them later.” Li Qiye said. “Please elaborate, we will see if we share similar opinions.” The person said. “At least two.” Li Qiye said. “It appears you’ve anticipated this.” The person smiled. “Not quite, I felt something off regarding disappearing powers. It was illogical.” Li Qiye said. “Any example?” The person was interested. “It occurred during the tribulations. I found this puzzling but later in the nine worlds and Eight Desolates, I found clues in the forbidden areas. It verified my guesses but unfortunately, was too late.” Li Qiye said. “It’s because you haven’t seen the alliance known as Heaven Essence. Devour Alliance was the strongest in appearance but Heaven Essence preferred the shadows.” The person said. “I see.” Li Qiye stroked his chin. “During the sweep, the guy finally showed up to deliver the finishing blow to her.” The person chuckled. “Octopus?” Li Qiye asked. “Haha, Octopus is right to describe him. He only showed up for a split second but his alliance became exposed, wiped out just like Devour Alliance.” The person said. “She’s capable indeed, this solved a lot of problems.” Li Qiye said. “Both sides went all out. I wonder if the villainous heaven suffered some hidden losses.” The person said. “So the heaven survived the trap but didn’t accomplish its goals.” Li Qiye said. “Yes, the alliance might be gone but the your so-called Octopus is alive.” The person said. “Where to find him, hmm...” Li Qiye pondered. “And then the shadow. If you try, it’ll be boundless. You will need more time but who knows how long?” The person said: “Have to kill it in one move.” “By overturning Heaven Realm?” Li Qiye shook his head. “I’m sure you have a plan already.” The person smiled. “Same for you.” Li Qiye said and offered a toast. “Haha, great minds think alike.” The person laughed. After finishing their cup, the person asked: “Anyone else?” Li Qiye didn’t respond. “One more.” The person said. Li Qiye sighed and nodded: “Yes, one more...”
