Chapter 6000: Who Killed My Son?!
Sky Step was powerful and talented but due to his young age, he couldn’t handle the oceanic pressure coming from the old man.
He staggered backward and became alarmed, nearly dropping to the ground. He took a deep breath and used all of his power to stand up straight, not losing his dignity.
“Clan Master.” He bowed properly without being subservient.
The old man was the clan master of the Ouyang and a desolate god with ten sacred fruits. The Ouyang was particularly powerful within the territory of Enigma, perhaps not weaker than Ancient Step.
The clan also had Dragon God Ouyang, the younger brother of Dragonform Grand Emperor. Although the emperor no longer resided in the clan, he still supported his home.
These two beings made them potentially the strongest clan in Enigma. Ancient Step needed Stone Aegis Progenitor to keep up.
“Who murdered my son?” The clan master’s eyes were murderous. His intent seemingly manifested into physical mass in the form of floating blades.
Sky Step shuddered due to the disparity in power. He couldn’t help but glance over at Li Qiye - the culprit behind this.
Of course, he didn’t dare to say anything.
Nevertheless, this glance alone told the tales. The clan master who swore to avenge his son glared at Li Qiye and shouted: “It was you?!”
However, doubts took over since the guy was only a mortal. How could a mortal kill his son?
His desolate aura focused on Li Qiye alone, enough to crush him to pieces. Alas, nothing happened.
“Seems that way.” Li Qiye said casually: “My dog was hungry so it ate him, wasn’t too filling though.”
The clan master trembled with rage as he shouted: “Bastard, I will let you taste a fate worse than death! State your name so that I will refine your clan into specters and enslave them forever!”
He prepared for a fight, thinking this mortal had a cultivator senior behind him. It didn’t matter where this mortal was from, he was ready to subject them all to eternal damnation.
“Whose clan are you trying to refine? Our royal clan?” A slightly overweight woman floated in the air above the clan master with a snack in her hand.
“Minisun Grand Emperor!” This startled him.
“Your Majesty.” Sky Step immediately prostrated.
He didn’t do the same to the clan master because he didn’t need to. On the other hand, Ancient Step had a close relationship with Enigma.
“Clan Master, this is not the place for you to do as you please. Given the ties between your clan and the dynasty, you may leave now.” Minisun said.
“Fellow Daoist, so he is your descendant? You killed my son?” The clan master uttered coldly.
“You think too highly of your clan.” Minisun shook her head: “Not to mention your son, if the young noble wishes to destroy your clan, he just needs to say the word and even Dragonform Grand Emperor won’t be able to protect it.”
She was as frank as possible, attempting to save the Ouyang. She still held onto the belief of Li Qiye being their Hidden Ancestor or at the very least, the truth wasn’t far from this.
Who would dare to refuse a command from Hidden Ancestor? Even Dragonform who came from the Ouyang wouldn’t be able to protect his clan.
“You!” The clan master stared at Li Qiye while his expressions kept on changing.
This brat was just a mortal so what was Minisun talking about?
“Fellow Daoist, I’m not that easily intimidated. The death of my son cannot be forgotten just like that, blood for blood.” The ten-fruit desolate god didn’t back off so easily.
“Boom!” He released more of his power.
Sky Step immediately backed off, unable to handle the pressure.
Minisun put her snack back in her pocket and waved her hand dismissively: “Come then since you have no sense of propriety. Looks like a lesson is in order for your clan.”
“Fellow Daoist, those are strong words!” The clan master turned red after being disrespected.
“Ouyang, do you know who you will be facing? The might of Enigma.” Minisun revealed a cold smile.
“...” The clan master had no response. His clan was under the jurisdiction of Enigma.
Minisun had seven dao fruits and could represent Enigma. It was unwise to go against her since their ancestor might not side with them against the dynasty.
“Be smart and leave, the young noble will spare your life.” Minisun said.
The clan master turned pale from rage but couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t kill Minisun despite having three more fruits.
“Fine, Fellow Daoist. I don’t care how this brat is related to you but one day, retribution will come.” The clan master glared at Li Qiye before stomping the ground angrily and leaving.
