543: News spread

Since he had decided not to hide anymore, some information regarding Li Qi was intentionally leaked. All of this was, naturally, the work of the forces under Holy King Aurora.

As the news continued to spread, the first to notice were the locals of the Origin Realm.

There were seven Holy Kings in total within the Origin Realm, and Holy King Gu Chen and Holy King Xuanxiao were among them.

When they learned that the Child of the Great Path had appeared once more, and that his location was the Origin Realm, they were filled with disbelief and excitement, feeling as if a monumental stroke of luck was about to descend upon them.

Not only that, the information they received this time regarding the Child of the Great Path was much clearer and more detailed; they even knew his name and appearance.

To avoid competing with other Holy Kings and to be the first to seize the Child of the Great Path, they did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed over at full speed.

Holy King Gu Chen and Holy King Xuanxiao had a decent relationship and belonged to an exclusive small circle, acting in unison. This time, they came together, vowing to capture Li Qi in one fell swoop.

Upon arriving at Gu Yong City, the two Holy Kings stood suspended in the air. A massive pressure descended, and everyone in Gu Yong City found their bodies restricted, making it difficult to move.

This terrifying sense of oppression caused everyone to break out in a cold sweat, immediately triggering many cries of alarm.

"What on earth is going on? Why have these two Holy Kings come?"

"And who is this Li Qi the Holy Kings mentioned?"

"Eh, you're behind the times! According to the news I just received, the name of that Child of the Great Path is Li Qi!"

"And this Child of the Great Path... is right here in our Gu Yong City!"

"*Hiss*... Is this true?!"

"I'm absolutely serious!"

"I also just got the news and haven't even had time to react before Holy Kings Gu Chen and Xuanxiao arrived here..."

"This speed... one cannot say it isn't fast!"

The people of Gu Yong City discussed fervently, quickly exchanging information, and they soon understood exactly what was happening.

The Child of the Great Path has appeared in Gu Yong City!

The two Holy Kings have come specifically for the Child of the Great Path!

A great battle is likely to break out here!

Once powerhouses at the level of Holy Kings take action, it is often a curse rather than a blessing. The fallout of their power would inevitably affect innocent bystanders, causing many casualties.

Everyone's heart was in their throat, fearing they would be the ones caught in the crossfire. They all looked up at the two figures in the sky with faces full of terror.

Unaware of the crowd's gaze, the two Holy Kings' eyes were already locked onto Li Qi in the courtyard, unable to look away for even a second.

"The Child of the Great Path... is actually here?!"

The two Holy Kings were overjoyed and cried out in surprise.

The information they received about the Child of the Great Path included a portrait, and the person before them was identical to that portrait.

"Hahahaha..."

"We've finally found you!"

"You won't be able to run anymore!"

The two Holy Kings laughed heartily, feeling extremely satisfied. Soon, Holy King Gu Chen also noticed the presence beside Li Qi.

Holy King Aurora was right beside Li Qi, looking leisurely and content. The atmosphere between Li Qi and Holy King Aurora was calm and peaceful, with no intention of fighting, which made Holy King Gu Chen frown slightly.

"Holy King Aurora, what is the meaning of this?"

"Are you going to join forces with the Child of the Great Path... to stop us?"

Holy King Aurora waved his hand and quickly distanced himself: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. I'm just passing through. You can just act as if you didn't see me."

"If you want to capture the Child of the Great Path, feel free to do so. I will absolutely not interfere."

"Of course, if you are able to do so..."

Seemingly to distance himself from Li Qi, Holy King Aurora very considerately took a few steps back to show his stance, a sincere yet polite smile on his face.

Holy King Aurora's actions made the two Holy Kings even more confused. They gave him a suspicious look but said no more.

Holy King Gu Chen and Holy King Xuanxiao exchanged a glance, then descended from the sky, slowly closing in on Li Qi.

From beginning to end, Li Qi did not say a word. He didn't defend himself, nor did he have anything to say to the two Holy Kings who were about to meet their downfall. He simply watched the two approaching Holy Kings calmly.

At this moment, Holy King Gu Chen and Holy King Xuanxiao felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation in their hearts.

It had to be said...

The events of today were far too strange.

The two of them had obtained information on the Child of the Great Path without any effort, and the information was exceptionally detailed.

And this Child of the Great Path named Li Qi was just standing there in Gu Yong City like a fool, without any disguise or attempt to flee—a complete contrast to his previous behavior.

Most importantly... Li Qi's current expression was far too calm.

Like a deep pond, unruffled by ripples, the water so deep that one could not tell where it led...

Strange!

Really strange!

Without realizing it, the two Holy Kings became extremely wary, not daring to be careless.

Once they were within a hundred feet of Li Qi, entering the optimal attack range, the two of them no longer hesitated and let out a great shout!

"Go!"

"Capture him!!!"
