My Endless Life.

Chapter 322 Emperor Qi’s Decision

It didn't take long for the news of Li Qi's shocking explosion above Longwu Pavilion to spread throughout the martial arts world.

Zhao Fan rushed back to the palace that same day and informed the current Emperor of Qi, Zhao Qiongxuan, of the matter.

After Emperor Qi learned about this, Zhang Long showed an expression of confusion on his face.

He asked in disbelief:

"Fifth Uncle, are you saying that he was able to severely injure Liu Xuan and force him to flee simply by using the self-detonation of those Yanjia?"

"Yes."

"This is impossible!!"

Emperor Qi slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up, saying in disbelief: "The power of a martial saint cannot be matched by ordinary things!"

"But... I saw it with my own eyes." Zhao Fan smiled bitterly.

If he had not been there and witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he probably would not have believed that man-made objects could actually exert such powerful power.

The dragon whiskers on Emperor Qi's face trembled. He turned to Zhao Fan and seemed to want to say something, but then he closed his mouth and fell silent. He paced back and forth for a long time before saying to Zhao Fan:
"Li Qi must have some other secrets. I don't believe that these man-made objects alone can severely injure the Martial Saint!"

Zhao Fan understood what the Emperor Qi meant. He hesitated for a moment and asked:
"You mean to say that Li Qi has something else in his hand that he hasn't shown yet?"

Emperor Qi flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly:
"Of course it is. That guy is very cunning. All those rumors about him being incompetent that have been circulating in the martial arts world during this period were spread by him himself. He wanted us to think that he was the weakest among the three!
"It's probably the same now. On the surface, he seems to be relying on the Yanjia to fight against the Martial Saint, but in fact... there may be other secrets hidden in those Yanjia!"

It is just like the Demonic Purifying Platform and the mutated dragon vein power of Da Qi.

Hearing what the Emperor Qi said, Zhao Fan frowned and thought for a long time, then said:

"But no matter what secrets he has, it is a fact that he defeated Liu Xuan."

“Liu Xuan…”

Zhao Fan’s reminder made Emperor Qi frown.

Emperor Qi returned to his seat, tapping his fingers on the armrest and thinking for a long time. Then he said to Zhao Fan:

"Fifth Uncle, can you find Liu Xuan?"

"If Liu Xuan hasn't left Central Plains yet, we should be able to find him... How?"

"Then find a way to find Liu Xuan and tell him that if he is willing to join forces with me, I am willing to hand over the Central Plains martial arts world to him!"

Emperor Qi said with a wave of his hand.

Zhao Fan was startled and said quickly:
"No! Compared to Li Qi, Liu Xuan is a demon sect after all! You also saw what the demon sect did after invading the Central Plains!"

"It doesn't matter! If my plan works, there will be no more warriors in this world! Even if Liu Xuan is a martial saint by then, what can he do? In comparison, Li Qi's Yanjia are a greater threat!"

The Emperor of Qi said this in a resounding voice.

The Emperor of Qi has been planning something recently, which is to use the dragon veins as the foundation to ensure that there will be no more people practicing martial arts and causing chaos in the world!
If this can be accomplished, there will be no more warriors in the world in the future. Even if Liu Xuan is a martial saint, he will not be able to exert even 10% of his strength by then. If Da Qi wants to deal with him, it will not have to worry so much.

On the contrary, it was Li Qi's side.

His Yanjia is not like a warrior system. Even if Emperor Qi's plan succeeds, it will have no impact on Li Qi at all.

By then, Li Qi and the Li family's Qiqiao Villa will probably be the most unstable existence in the world.

Therefore, in order to deal with the Li family, Emperor Qi chose to temporarily cooperate with Liu Xuan.

It's just temporary.

Seeing that the Emperor of Qi had made his decision, Zhao Fan could no longer persuade him.

No matter what outsiders said about the Emperor Qi, how cruel or crazy he was, Zhao Fan knew that the Emperor Qi was truly making plans for the future of the Zhao family.

Even though it may seem to outsiders that what the Emperor Qi did was a bit extreme, as long as the Emperor Qi was truly thinking about the Zhao family and would not do anything detrimental to the Zhao family, then Zhao Fan, as the oldest person in the Zhao family, would protect the Emperor Qi until Zhao Fan himself died.

Therefore, since Emperor Qi has his own ideas and wants to cooperate with Liu Xuan, Zhao Fan will also find a way to help him achieve cooperation with Liu Xuan.

All this is for the Zhao family and for Da Qi.

……

"You went to deal with the Blood Demon Cult?"

Li Xueren, who knew what Li Qi was going to do, said to Li Qi worriedly, "This is too risky."

"No problem. After all, if he is well prepared, Liu Xuan is no match for me."

Li Qi said with a smile as he recalled the explosion that day that was comparable to a nuclear explosion.

Li Xueren sighed:
"That's not what I'm talking about. Now that you've repelled Liu Xuan, you're the strongest among the three. If I'm right, Emperor Qi and Liu Xuan will probably unite together next."

Li Qi, Liu Xuan, and Qi Huang maintain a delicate balance among the three. Whichever side is stronger, the other two will unite to fight against the other side.

No one will allow a monopoly to exist.

Originally, Liu Xuan was the most powerful, and Li Qi and Emperor Qi could still maintain superficial peace.

But now that Li Qi has done this, Emperor Qi and Liu Xuan will definitely unite to fight against Li Qi.

After all, even a martial saint like Liu Xuan was forced to flee in a panic by the self-detonation of Li Qi's Yanjia. Emperor Qi could not guarantee that he could withstand an explosion of the same power.

Li Qi also knew this, but he didn't care.

He walked to the window and looked into the distance. The window faced the back garden. Li Qi could see his sister Li Qiao and his wife Bai Yuzhu talking about something.

After staring at them for a long time, Li Qicai slowly said:
"Even if we don't do this, they will unite in half a year." "Why?"

Li Xueren was puzzled.

Li Qi looked up at the sky with a deep gaze: "Because I am about to break through to the Martial Saint level."

"!!!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Xueren's expression froze on his face. His eyes widened and his pupils trembled slightly: "Are you going to break through to the Martial Saint? How is this possible! Even if you have the Delicate Heart..."

"But the price I pay is that I may not live past the age of twenty."

Li Qi spoke frankly to Li Xueren.

At that moment Li Xueren fell silent again, his breathing even stagnated, and his wrinkled face was filled with an indescribable complex expression.

After an unknown amount of time, he asked:

"Can... I not break through?"

Li Xueren cares a lot about the Li family, or rather, in this world, most people attach great importance to family.

Family and inheritance are what most people care about.

The same is true for Li Xueren. Therefore, he is very happy that Li Qi can achieve such success now.

When he looked at Li Qi, he seemed to be able to see the future of the Li family. He saw that the Li family would prosper under Li Qi's leadership and gradually become one of the most powerful families in the world.

However, if such prosperity came at the cost of Li Qi's life, Li Xueren could not accept it.

Besides, the prosperity of the Li family now depends entirely on Li Qi. This is only superficial prosperity. They have not transformed the glory of this period into family foundation. They do not have the time.

Once something really happens to Li Qi, no matter how highly the Li family has praised him before, he will fall miserably in the end.

Therefore, whether out of emotion or reason, Li Xueren did not want Li Qi to die.

Moreover, the title of Martial Saint means nothing to Li Qi. Even if he is not a Martial Saint now, isn’t he still one of the strongest people in the world?
If this is the case, why bother pursuing the realm of a Martial Saint?

Li Xueren wanted to say this to Li Qi. He thought that if the breakthrough to Martial Saint could be avoided, then he should try not to break through. Saving his own life was the most important thing.

But Li Qi's next answer made Li Xueren's eyes go dark.

“I can’t stop.”

Li Qi said softly.

Li Xueren thought that he would make a breakthrough first and pay the price later, but in fact, no matter whether he could break through to become a Martial Saint or not, he would not be able to live beyond the age of twenty.

On the contrary, after becoming a Martial Saint, there is still a slight chance of survival.

Hearing Li Qi's words, Li Xueren's body shook and he almost couldn't stand.

He looked at Li Qi, his eyes slightly red, took a deep breath, and tried hard not to cry.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and after a long while he asked in a deep voice:

"In that case, you should have made plans?"

"Yes, I have left a set of Yan armor for each of you. This set of Yan armor can ensure that you have the power of a grandmaster. After Yuzhu gives birth to the child, you will take this set of Yan armor and leave the capital.

"I have asked Yin Xia to prepare a place for you on the overseas demon island. If I die, you will stay there forever, but if I live, I will personally bring you back."

"What about you? Do you plan to stay in the capital?"

Li Xueren asked again.

Li Qi nodded: "When I break through to the Martial Saint level, it will definitely cause a huge stir. Liu Xuan and Emperor Qi will definitely not let me go. For this reason, if I follow you, it will bring you danger.

"Only if I stay in the capital and attract their attention will they ignore your existence."

Actively exposing Yanjia's strength was also to make them shift all their attention to Li Qi.

At that time, Li Qi will use his Yan armor to attract their attention, so that everyone else's eyes will be focused on his exposed Yan armor.

Li Qi's family members will be ignored by them.

“…Really, is this the only solution?”

Finally, Li Xueren asked again unwillingly.

Li Qi smiled helplessly:

"Besides this, I have no other way to protect you."

"..."

Li Xueren stopped talking. He left silently to prepare for the "afterlife" arranged by Li Qi. Li Qi continued to look at Li Qiao and Bai Yuzhu in the garden pavilion. After meeting their eyes, he smiled and waved at them, then looked at the little yellow bird standing on the branch.

After staring at the little yellow bird for a while, Li Qi raised his hand and shot a fine stream of energy at the branch under which the little yellow bird lay. The little yellow bird immediately chirped and flew away.

A quarter of an hour later, Huang Wanmian came to Li Qi's study.

"Figured out?"

She asked Li Qi.

Li Qi nodded: "First tell me how to become an immortal, and then I will teach you the method of 'Heavenly Palace Soul Transfer'."
