492: awakened

Li Qi had conducted investigations and gained an understanding of the group known as the Saint Kings.

Although the information he gathered was very fragmented and broken, if one were to piece it all together, it wasn't hard to see... exactly what kind of world the Saint Kings lived in.

Dog eat dog!

Pigs goring pigs!

Either they were stabbing other Saint Kings in the back... or they were being stabbed in the back by them!

They used every possible means to plunder the Sacred Thrones from others!

Some Saint Kings plotted in the shadows to ambush and kill others.

Others banded together to ambush and kill other Saint Kings collectively!

But these brief alliances were inherently fragile and could collapse at any moment.

Sometimes, after a group of Saint Kings killed another, they would start fighting among themselves to seize the dropped Sacred Throne.

Back then, Yu Si Hai had conspired with other Saint Kings to ambush the Saint Demon; now, in a cycle of Karma, he was receiving the same treatment.

Not long ago, another Saint King had seized an opportunity to heavily wound Yu Si Hai. He had narrowly escaped with his life and was now lingering on the brink of death in this dark, sunless seabed.

The Dragon slayer eventually becomes the Dragon, only to be slaughtered by other Dragon slayers... this was the true world of the Saint Kings.

A chaotic and mad world!

After realizing this, Li Qi felt there was an opportunity here that he might be able to exploit.

If Yu Si Hai were startled awake and realized that the Saint Demon was reviving and about to return... what kind of scene would that be?

There was years of deep-seated enmity between the two. When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred; an earth-shattering battle would surely erupt!

The Saint Demon had only just revived and was similarly incredibly weak, far from his Peak state. This represented a massive opportunity for Yu Si Hai.

Yu Si Hai would definitely not let the Saint Demon go!

He would certainly find every way possible to take the Saint Demon down completely!

He would also never tell the other Saint Kings about the Saint Demon's return!

The logic was simple: one monk carries water to drink, but two monks have no water to drink.

If the news of the Saint Demon's return spread and attracted the attention of many Saint Kings, there was a high probability that Yu Si Hai wouldn't be able to snatch the Saint Demon's Sacred Throne.

Therefore, Yu Si Hai would definitely do everything in his power to suppress all news regarding the Saint Demon and keep everything for himself.

Li Qi had anticipated Yu Si Hai's actions.

He had also considered suppressing the news of the Saint Demon's revival himself, dealing with the Saint Demon personally, and seizing the Sacred Throne.

But after some thought, he abandoned that idea.

If two Saint Kings fought and both ended up heavily wounded and on the verge of death, and then Li Qi stepped in... wouldn't he be able to snatch two Sacred Thrones at once?

Was it possible?

It wasn't impossible...

Furthermore, for Li Qi to act alone against a newly revived Saint Demon would be both exhausting and dangerous... such a thankless task could easily be left to someone else!

Li Qi only needed to wait and watch for changes.

Although doing so carried significant risks, so what?

What doesn't have risks?

You could choke to death drinking water...

You could choke to death eating food...

You could be killed crossing the street...

If one didn't do something just because there was risk, then nothing would ever get done.

Li Qi was never against taking risks, as long as the reward was big enough.

The bigger the waves... the more expensive the fish!

After figuring everything out, Li Qi began his flashy maneuver. While several Demon Generals were cautiously sealing off Yu Si Hai's power, he let out a loud shout.

"How can you even sleep?"

"At your stage, you can actually sleep?"

"Do you have any ambition at all?!"

The voice was so abrupt and filled with mockery that all the Demon Generals were stunned in that instant.

They felt as if the blood in their bodies had frozen, like they had fallen into an ice cellar!

Five of the Demon Generals turned their heads, their gazes locking onto one of their own, eyes filled with fury and suspicion!

Because those words just now... had come from that Demon General's body.

Facing those gazes that were practically spitting fire, that Demon General also panicked, saying helplessly.

"It wasn't me!"

"I didn't!"

"I didn't say that!"

This Demon General was also flustered, immediately blurting out a triple denial.

Because of that inexplicable shout just now, the plan of the six Demon Generals had completely failed...

Yu Si Hai had already been disturbed!

Deep within the dark Endless Sea, two beams of brilliant light suddenly flared up. At this moment... Yu Si Hai opened his eyes.

Under the influence of Yu Si Hai's power, the entire Endless Sea froze. The surging, churning waves on the surface were instantly fixed in place, like rising hills and Peaks!

Droplets of water were also frozen in mid-air, shimmering with watery light like gemstones!

"Who is it..."

Yu Si Hai's raspy voice echoed in everyone's ears like rolling thunder; the Demon Generals were nearly frightened out of their wits.

The Yu Si Hai who had once slaughtered numerous Demon Generals... had returned!

Yu Si Hai's hundred-zhang-tall body slowly sat up. His gaze shifted, locking onto the six Demon Generals.

"So it's just a few little rats!"

After seeing the Demon Generals clearly, Yu Si Hai was slightly taken aback. His expression shifted several times before he finally laughed.

"I remember now..."

"So it's you guys..."

"I really didn't expect... that it would be you lot..."

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!!"

For a time, Yu Si Hai's voice resounded throughout the Endless Sea, his laughter wild and unrestrained.
