Chapter 1786 – A – A Toast to the Li Family
Great Qin Empire’s capital city, Xianyang.
In the palace, the atmosphere was extremely heavy and tense.
Everyone could tell that His Majesty was in a bad mood.
More accurately, he was in a foul mood!
In recent days, there had already been about three hundred officials who had been unlucky enough to trigger His Majesty’s rage, and all of them ended up being sentenced to death.
“Lord National Advisor, you’re finally here. His Majesty has been waiting for a long time,” the eunuch stationed outside the palace said. With a bent back, the eunuch scampered over. His face was full of worry as he added, “Please enter quickly and don’t anger His Majesty.”
The national advisor nodded and said, “All of you may be dismissed.”
“Yes, Lord National Advisor.”
The eunuch waved his arm, and all of the eunuchs in the palace left hastily.
Pus.h.i.+ng open the doors of the palace, the national advisor entered the hall and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“Hmph! National Advisor, you remembered to come and see me?” Emperor Qin scoffed.
The national advisor had a calm expression on his face as he said, “Your Majesty, I was not present these few days because I made a trip to the West Desolate.”
Emperor Qin looked at him.
The national advisor continued, “The Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Qin Yu was born in the West Desolate to the Zhou Family. I’ve already completed an investigation into his background and all the contents are in here.”
With both hands, the national advisor presented a jade slip.
Emperor Qin waved his hands and the jade slip landed in his hands. After reading through its contents, he said, “National Advisor, you’ve done well.”
His tone became much more relaxed.
The national advisor cupped his hands and said, “As your right hand man, naturally, I am here to alleviate your worries and problems.”
“Keep a close eye on her; she is going to be very useful to me.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The national advisor was silent for a while before he said, “Your Majesty, how are you so sure about Qin Yu? After all, from his past, he has nothing to do with our Great Qin Empire.”
Emperor Qin replied blandly, “I am not completely sure…but that’s not important anymore.”
The national advisor nodded his head.
Back then, His Majesty had personally attacked Qin Yu. If it were not for Floor Master’s interference, Qin Yu would have already died.
Because of this, the relations.h.i.+p between Great Qin and Qin Yu was now hard to resolve.
Qin Yu must die!
“Your Majesty, did Floor Master interfere so that he could enter the Eternal realm?”
Emperor Qin scoffed, “Floor Master is a bit anxious. It seems that his source of immortality is beginning to crumble.”
The national advisor exclaimed, “Congratulations, Your Majesty!”
If something happened to Floor Master, Emperor Qin would no longer have any compet.i.tors in the race to enter the Eternal realm.
Emperor Qin waved his hand, “It’s too early for any form of congratulations. Furthermore, I have other problems…Qin Yu is gaining power too rapidly. I am unable to see through him.”
The national advisor nodded. He had seen for himself how shockingly quickly Qin Yu’s power was rising.
“I will activate the imperial intelligence network to follow Qin Yu’s tracks. As long as he leaves Thirteenth Floor, there will be nowhere that he can hide!”
“You’ve worked hard, National Advisor.”
“I’m happy to serve Your Majesty!”
……
The s.p.a.ce collapsed silently, and two people walked out of it.
True King Qiongji pointed forward, “Sect Master Qin, that’s Parasol City.”
Qin Yu’s gaze swept across the city and he could not help but gasp internally. It was a huge city, and it looked like a giant beast that was crawling on the ground, blocking the sun and casting endless shadows.
But, that was it.
He did not feel the slightest ounce of awe or admiration.
This was because he had already entered the King realm. When his maximum power erupted, he was able to even hold up against one of Emperor Qin’s blows.
Just this alone proved that his powers exceeded the majority of True Kings in this world.
Even though Parasol City was big, that’s all it was. If Qin Yu was willing, he could destroy everything here with a mere gesture of his hand.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Yu started walking towards Parasol City.
True King Qiongji followed behind Qin Yu and frowned as he looked at Qin Yu’s back. Actually, he wanted to ask what plans Qin Yu had in mind.
Now, he knew that Qin Yu wanted to find a person called Li Mu. Even if he was a True King from Thirteenth Floor, he had heard of this man’s name before.
He was a direct descendant of the Li Family and was known to be an outstanding talent. He was ranked as the top True King in Parasol City and therefore he was highly valued by the Li Family’s Ancestor Li.
As for Ancestor Li, he had seniority above even Floor Master and possessed tyrannical strength.
After all, given the current situation, even a dog could become terrifyingly powerful as long as it lived for a long time.
What more a person like Ancestor Li?
Even though it was shocking that Qin Yu could block one of Emperor Qin’s blows for a while, directly going up to the Li Family’s door and asking them questions was probably not going to work.
Even with True King Qiongji beside him, it seemed impossible!
Because this was Parasol City, and not to mention that hateful phoenix, Ancestor Li had the home advantage here and he could easily defeat Qin Yu and True King Qiongji.
True King Qiongji could not understand where Qin Yu’s confidence came from. Or, could it be that he had other methods?
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
The sound of someone zipping through the air could be heard as two figures stopped in front of them.
“Li Sang and Li Qing from the Li Family greet Sect Master Qin and True King Qiongji.”
These two figures bowed respectfully towards Qin Yu and True King Qiongji.
True King Qiongji’s face changed slightly. The Li Family was indeed clever.
They had just gotten here and had not done anything yet, but members of the Li Family had already found them and made clear what their ident.i.ties were.
They were trying to make a point in the subtlest way.
True King Qiongji looked over at Qin Yu, who still appeared calm. He was feeling more and more pessimistic about the plans that Qin Yu had.
“Ancestor Li is already waiting for both of you; please follow me.”
Qin Yu nodded his head, “Lead the way.”
“This way!”
Li Sang and Li Qing bowed politely again, turned around, and flew off.
On the ground, many people looked up at them with endless awe and admiration.
Even though they did not recognize Qin Yu and Qiongji, Li Sang and Li Qing were two big figures in Parasol City.
They were only in charge of handling daily affairs, but to the people in Parasol City, they knew that these ‘daily affairs’ were far more important than anything they would ever have to deal with in their lives.
From Li Sang and Li Qing’s att.i.tudes, it undoubtedly proved that Qin Yu and Qiongji were extremely important people and held a high status.

Could they be True Kings?
When the people thought of this, they looked at them with even more respect and also more restraint.
After all, no one would dare to offend a True King just because they looked at one disrespectfully.
Qin Yu looked at that sycamore tree which was almost reaching the sky.
It was a lush tree that had many leaves growing on it. It looked full of life!
True King Qiongji said, “This sycamore tree has been here since ancient times, and it attracted a phoenix to nest here. Its strength is comparable to that of a True King.”
Qin Yu knew that Qiongji was giving him a reminder. He merely nodded with a calm expression on his face.
The Li Family was truly powerful, since they were one of the four families. There were some things that he already knew about them.
After all, having cultivated to this stage, it was hard not to have any interaction with the Li Family given how he roamed around the Central Desolate.
The Li Family was very powerful.
And they had a phoenix to protect them.
Their family had deep foundations and there were many Half-Kings amongst their ranks.
However, to Qin Yu, all this information was useless. Today he was here for someone…the Li Family had to pa.s.s this person over to him, whether they wanted to or not!
This was not Qin Yu being arrogant. He was actually holding a huge bomb in his hands that allowed him to be so confident.
