Arrogance Doesn't Need to See the Place (Part 1)

The elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate looked at Li Qiye, all of them feeling frustrated. Li Qiye, a mortal with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Meridians, and Mortal Fate, could actually communicate with their Nine Sacred Demon Gate's divine guardians. It was simply against the natural order.

If Li Qiye were a disciple of their Nine Sacred Demon Gate, it would be one thing, but Li Qiye specifically rejected being a disciple of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate! Their own divine guardians were actually protecting an outsider. First, it stepped on Protector Xu, then it heavily injured Yu He and the Grand Elder. How could the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate not be filled with frustration?

"Can you tell us the trick to how Young Master Li communicates with our sect's divine guardians?" The voice of the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor echoed.

Li Qiye couldn't help but smile, shaking his head and saying, "The trick to communication? I don't have any special tricks. Since they are your sect's divine guardians, you should know them better than I do."

In reality, Li Qiye naturally couldn't reveal the true secret to the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor and the others. During the primordial era, he transformed into the Shadow Crow and, after spending countless efforts to set up an astonishing scheme, he finally escaped the Immortal-Demon Cave. However, over these millions of years, he had endured countless hardships and experienced innumerable eras. He understood one principle: if he wanted to control his own destiny, he had to be strong enough!

Back then, his soul was trapped within the Shadow Crow, unable to cultivate. Therefore, he could only rely on other means to protect himself. Fortunately, he had entered and exited many places that others wouldn't even dare to imagine, and he knew countless astonishing secrets. Thus, he proceeded step by step, calculating for eternity to protect himself.

The four divine guardians of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were also once part of his plans. The Four Symbols Stone Men, he didn't know how much effort he had spent to retrieve them from the Old Earth back then. The Four Symbols Stone Men had once escorted him for a long period.

Later, the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's founder, the Nine Sacred Great Sage, escorted Immortal Emperor Mingren and made countless contributions in bearing the Mandate of Heaven for Immortal Emperor Mingren. Back then, the Nine Sacred Great Sage had always coveted Li Qiye's Four Symbols Stone Men and had pestered Li Qiye countless times, asking for them. Later, after Immortal Emperor Mingren bore the Mandate of Heaven and ruled the Eight Desolations, Li Qiye, remembering the Nine Sacred Great Sage's loyalty and great contributions, and his several successful attempts to save the Emperor, lent the Four Symbols Stone Men to the Nine Sacred Great Sage to guard the sect and protect his descendants.

At that time, after obtaining the Four Symbols Stone Men, the Nine Sacred Great Sage placed them to guard the earth veins of Heaven and Earth Essence within the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, and the Four Symbols Stone Men also used this earth vein to nourish themselves.

However, the Nine Sacred Great Sage and Li Qiye had an agreement back then: unless the Nine Sacred Demon Gate faced an existential crisis, the Four Symbols Stone Men would not appear! The Four Symbols Stone Men were not private enforcers for the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, nor would they escort the descendants of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate!

And the Nine Sacred Demon Gate developed well. First, it was protected by the colossal Washing Yan Ancient Sect. Later, after the Washing Yan Ancient Sect declined, the Nine Sacred Demon Gate became independent and did not decline because of it. Therefore, although the Nine Sacred Demon Gate had its ups and downs, it never faced an existential crisis. It was precisely because of this that the Four Symbols Stone Men had always guarded the earth veins of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate and had never displayed their divine abilities.

The Four Symbols Stone Men were brought out from the Old Earth by Li Qiye himself, so Li Qiye naturally knew how to communicate with them. That's why last time Li Qiye climbed onto the stone man's shoulder and sat there chatting was him communicating with the Four Symbols Stone Men.

Of course, outsiders had no idea about the astonishing secrets involved.

"If Young Master Li is willing to tell us the secret to communication, our Nine Sacred Demon Gate will definitely not treat Young Master Li poorly. Whatever Young Master Li needs, just say the word, and our Nine Sacred Demon Gate will not hesitate." The Sun-Turning Demon Emperor was not giving up. He knew the value of the four divine guardians. If they could communicate with the four divine guardians, it would be extraordinary!

At this moment, the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate all looked at Li Qiye. One stone statue had easily sent Elder Yun flying with just one hand. If there were four, it would be unimaginable. If the Nine Sacred Demon Gate could truly communicate with the four divine guardians, it would indeed be extraordinary!

"There's no special trick, it's just chatting, talking about everyday matters, reminiscing about the past, that's all." Li Qiye said with a smile. Of course, his words were not entirely untrue, he just didn't reveal the truth behind it.

The elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate and the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor certainly couldn't believe Li Qiye's words, but they had no choice. They couldn't force Li Qiye, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"However, there is one thing I need to inform you about. I need to drip blood with the four divine guardians." While the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor was silent, Li Qiye said indifferently.

Li Qiye's statement made both the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor and the elders present tremble inwardly. Dripping blood with the divine guardians carried a different meaning!

"These are the divine guardians of our Nine Sacred Demon Gate," the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor said thoughtfully.

Li Qiye waved his hand and said lightly, "They will still be the divine guardians of your Nine Sacred Demon Gate. They will continue to guard the earth veins of your Nine Sacred Demon Gate's earth veins. It's just that, sometimes, I will need to borrow them."

"The four divine statues are the divine guardians of our Nine Sacred Demon Gate. Besides our Nine Sacred Demon Gate disciples, outsiders are not allowed!" An elder couldn't help but say. It was simply unbearable to have their own divine guardians borrowed by others.

Li Qiye glanced at him, calm and composed, and said, "That's not up to you. If you're unhappy, you can go and talk to your divine guardians." If it weren't for the promise he made to the Nine Sacred Great Sage back then, he would have taken the Four Symbols Stone Men away right now, and the Nine Sacred Demon Gate wouldn't have been able to stop him!

"You—" This elder couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, feeling particularly displeased.

"Since Young Master Li can communicate with our divine guardians and our divine guardians can awaken and appear, this is not a bad thing," the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor said thoughtfully at this moment.

In fact, the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor had no choice at this moment. It was obvious that the four divine statues were protecting Li Qiye, and this was not something they could change! Although the Nine Sacred Demon Gate was powerful enough, and they had sufficient heritage!

However, one divine statue had easily sent the Grand Elder flying with just one hand. Even someone as talented as the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor felt uncertain in his heart.

"This is what a wise person would do," Li Qiye said with a faint smile. "Don't think that just because I can communicate with your divine guardians, it will be detrimental to your Nine Sacred Demon Gate. If I truly wanted to harm your Nine Sacred Demon Gate, you wouldn't have the chance to sit here! Today, if I were to forcibly push through your Nine Sacred Demon Gate, unless your founder is reborn, who could stop my progress!"

The Nine Sacred Demon Gate, how powerful it was, controlling the Ancient Ox Territory, and in the Ancient Ox Territory, how many sects bowed to it! How powerful were the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate? When they stomped their feet, the heavens and earth would tremble! Let alone the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor. Since the heavenly change thirty thousand years ago, achieving True Human status was not easy, but the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor had risen against the odds! Reaching a terrifying realm!

However, right before the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, right before the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor, Li Qiye spoke such arrogant words; it was too overbearing.

Li Qiye's words naturally displeased the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. The elders all glared at him angrily, but Li Qiye remained seated, smiling with a calm and confident demeanor.

"Since that is the case, Young Master Li can drip blood," the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor agreed. The Sun-Turning Demon Emperor was a person of extraordinary talent, and he vaguely felt that if he didn't agree to Li Qiye, their Nine Sacred Demon Gate's divine guardians might leave with Li Qiye. Although he didn't know why the divine guardians would choose a junior with a mortal physique, it was definitely not simple.

"You act according to the rules, and I will also act according to the rules," Li Qiye smiled and said, "The four divine guardians will still be your divine guardians!"

This outcome made the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate feel frustrated, but they couldn't change anything. Unless they fell out with Li Qiye, but regarding the four divine guardians, the elders were completely uncertain. Was the Grand Elder among them not powerful enough? But a divine guardian could send him flying with one palm. What if the four divine guardians attacked simultaneously?

They dared not imagine the consequences. If the four divine guardians attacked simultaneously, perhaps no one in their Nine Sacred Demon Gate could stop them!

"Young Master Li—" At this moment, the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor pondered for a long time and finally spoke, "Our Nine Sacred Demon Gate has a sacred land that we have been unable to open. I wonder if Young Master Li is interested in taking a look."

"Your Majesty, it is not permissible," the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor suddenly said this, and an elder quickly said.

"It's fine to let Young Master Li take a look," the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor interrupted the elder's words, his voice filled with authority.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's the Sacred Cave, isn't it? It was left by your founder, the Nine Sacred Great Sage." At this moment, he couldn't help but recall something.

The old chicken head had mentioned this matter back then. It was after Immortal Emperor Mingren had borne the Mandate of Heaven. At that time, his condition was very unstable, and he was about to enter hibernation. The old chicken head had jokingly mentioned something, but at that time, he could even cultivate Immortal Emperors, so he was not very interested in this matter and had not explicitly agreed to it!

At this moment, all the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate looked at Li Qiye, because very few people knew about this matter.

"That's right—" Li Qiye's words made the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor's spirit lift, and he said, "If Young Master Li can open the Sacred Cave, our Nine Sacred Demon Gate will offer a generous reward."

Li Qiye tilted his head and thought for a moment. He carefully recalled what the old chicken head had said back then, and finally nodded and said, "If I open the Sacred Cave, I have a condition: one item inside must belong to me. The other items will be yours, the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's."

"This..." Li Qiye's words made even the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor ponder, and some elders couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, perhaps this matter needs to be discussed."
