Chapter 5974: Just More Idiots

The latter was countless times stronger, so befriending Ancient Step was beneficial. Alas, they couldn’t sell an heirloom.

“Saint Child, the ancestral lotus belonged to our Virtuous King and had only come back to life, selling it makes us unworthy of our ancestors.” The first elder shook his head.

“Elder, do you know what will happen if others find out about this tree?” The saint child changed his method and said: “Will you be able to guard it then?”

The veil of pretension was dropped with this threat.

“Is this the way your sect operates? Threatening us to sell?” Furious Wind couldn’t stay calm.

“That’s not what I’m doing, I’m merely warning you about the consequences. Be smart and give it to us and we shall protect your sect.” The saint child sneered.

If he could give this tree to his ancestor, he might be noticed by the Grand Emperor for this contribution.

Furious Wind and the elders had an ugly expression. Nevertheless, the brat was right in that they wouldn’t be able to protect the two trees from powerful sects, Ancient Step included.

“Hand it over and we guarantee your safety for generations to come.” The saint child blatantly threatened.

The group wanted to slap this treacherous brat but doing so meant declaring war against Ancient Step. That could only end one way - their destruction.

“Where did this idiot come from, spewing this crap in front of me?” Li Qiye’s voice came from the shrine.

“You again?!” The saint child became livid.

“Out of consideration for your ancestors, scram before I kill you.” Li Qiye spoke again.

“Mortal, do you not know the difference between us? Have you ever heard of Ancient Step? Your mortal kings are lesser than dogs in our presence, I can kill any of them as I please...” Six-step laughed and declared.

Alas, he couldn’t finish because a foot, no, a paw from within the shrine stomped him down.

“Get off me!” He activated his merit laws and grand dao power, unaware that the dog could eat Grand Emperors.

“Bam!” The flood tiger added a tiny bit more power and immobilized the saint child.

It opened its mouth into eight flesh petals. The number of teeth terrified the crowd, causing sweat to course down their back.

“W-what the hell are you?!” The saint child screamed.

“A fool like you amounts to nothing but food.” Li Qiye’s voice came from the shrine.

Everyone was terrified because they had seen the dog before. It looked obedient like a domesticated pet - a stark contrast to its true appearance.

“My master is Sky Step King! My grandmaster... is Beneficence Grand Emperor, and Stone Aegis Progenitor, they will kill you and enslave your descendants for ages!” The saint child listed everyone in his sect.

This was effective against the crowd since these titles belonged to immensely powerful cultivators. Beneficence Grand Emperor alone could suppress the eight members of the ancient alliance.

He had five dao fruits and could threaten older existences such as Edge Mountain Crone. As for Stone Aegis Progenitor - this was a being who put an end to Eldertree Grand Emperor.

Opposing Ancient Step could spell the demise of a weaker sect such as Insane Gate.

“Just more idiots.” Li Qiye said.

“Raa!” The flood tiger decided to go for the kill.

“Nooo!” The saint tiger screamed.

“Please show mercy!” The first elder shouted but it was too late.

“Crunch!” It only took a second for the tiger to finish devouring the young cultivator. It licked its lips and returned to being an obedient dog. Of course, others no longer saw it the same way.

Furious Wind knew he was not stronger than Six-step Saint Child. Therefore, this dog could eat him in one bite as well.
