542: Come to the door

In Gu Yong City, Li Qi appeared openly. He no longer disguised his figure, revealing his true appearance as he walked alongside Aurora Saint King.

Since he had decided to take action against all the Saint Kings... Li Qi had nothing left to hide.

By exposing the whereabouts of his so-called "Child of the Great Path" identity, Saint Kings would come knocking one after another. There would be no need for Li Qi to go looking for them individually, saving him quite a bit of effort.

The initiator of this plan was Aurora Saint King. Naturally, Aurora Saint King could be considered an ally of Li Qi, and he would fully support and cooperate with Li Qi.

After a frank and sincere discussion, Aurora Saint King learned Li Qi's name. He also learned that Li Qi was not from the Source Realm, but had come from a certain Major Thousand Worlds, which deeply astonished Aurora Saint King.

"So that is how it is... I was wondering why it was so strange."

"Previously, when many Saint Kings investigated the clues left behind by your movements and followed the trail, they actually ended up at my Gu Yong City! Searching any further yielded absolutely no clues at all."

"Those Saint Kings all thought your concealment techniques were too advanced and that you had erased all previous clues, which is why they couldn't find you..."

"I never expected that you are not from the Origin Realm at all!"

"You crossed the starry sky to get here!"

"The first place you descended to in this realm... was my Gu Yong City!"

Speaking up to this point, Aurora Saint King smiled helplessly.

Back then, when those Saint Kings were searching for the Child of the Great Path, they had actually tracked it to his Gu Yong City. Some Saint Kings even demanded an explanation from him, which left him speechless.

He hadn't expected that the reason behind it was actually this.

"Li Qi... you are truly remarkable."

"Clearly not a citizen of the Source Realm, nor the Child of the Great Path, and coming from humble beginnings, yet you have achieved so much. It truly makes me feel ashamed..."

"I am ashamed! Truly ashamed!!!"

As he spoke, a trace of emotion and shame appeared on Aurora Saint King's face.

For those of them who were citizens of the Source Realm, their environment was uniquely gifted. The several major Source Realms were the places closest to the Dao. In comparison... the Major Thousand Worlds were practically backwater regions.

Li Qi's rise was no different than a golden Phoenix flying out of a mountain nest; it was truly astonishing.

"Brother, you flatter me..."

Facing Aurora Saint King's praise, Li Qi responded politely. When he had mentioned his origins just now, he had merely brushed it off casually, saying he came from a certain Major Thousand Worlds.

If Aurora Saint King knew that Li Qi had actually come all the way from the Lower Realm, with a starting point that couldn't possibly be lower, this Saint King would likely be so shocked he would jump right off the ground.

If the Major Thousand Worlds were considered backwater regions, then the Lower Realm was practically a sewer, with conditions and environments that couldn't be any worse.

After the two arrived in Gu Yong City, Li Qi and Aurora Saint King came to a quiet and elegant courtyard.

Gu Yong City was a force under Aurora Saint King's command. In the center of the city stood a massive City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord of Gu Yong City was not Aurora Saint King, but he was one of Aurora Saint King's subordinates.

Aurora Saint King also had a private courtyard in Gu Yong City, convenient for staying and resting whenever he visited. At this moment, Li Qi and Aurora Saint King arrived at this courtyard and were received with warm hospitality.

After the attendants served tea and snacks, Aurora Saint King dismissed them, casually set up a barrier, and began to chat with Li Qi.

"Dragon Abyss Saint King, Yu Si Hai, Saint Demon, Qiu Chuwen... I have given you all their remains; you should be able to make use of them."

"Exchange them all for creation crystal stones; consider it me selling them to you..."

"Is that alright?"

Aurora Saint King's face was filled with shock. He had just obtained many good things from Li Qi, which truly opened his eyes and also made him astonished at Li Qi's spoils of war.

Li Qi had only achieved the status of Saint King for a short time, yet he had already killed three Saint Kings, plus one sub-saint; it was truly terrifying.

Dragon Abyss Saint King was easier to explain; many people knew this unlucky Saint King had fallen at Li Qi's hands. Aurora Saint King had also witnessed the fall of Qiu Chuwen, so naturally, he knew about this matter as well.

But as for the situations of Yu Si Hai and Saint Demon, I fear many people are not aware of them...

It was rumored that Yu Si Hai was injured some years ago, and no one knew where he had gone to recuperate.

Saint Demon was an existence who had fallen long ago; almost no one knew where Saint Demon was.

"Were Yu Si Hai and Saint Demon also killed by you?"

"Yes."

"I had some grievances with Saint Demon, and as for Yu Si Hai... it was just a chance encounter."

After briefly explaining the grievances involved, Aurora Saint King was left speechless for a moment.

Just as the two were chatting, a loud shout suddenly resounded through the sky above the entire Gu Yong City.

"Li Qi, will you not surrender yet?!!"

Two figures suddenly arrived, instantly appearing in the sky above Gu Yong City. They stood in the air, their bodies radiating a terrifying aura.

And the two people who had suddenly appeared... were none other than two Saint Kings from the Origin Realm!

Gu Chen Saint King!

Xuanxiao Holy King!
