557: The door to a new world

Why did so many Saint Kings fall into Li Qi's trap and get suppressed and Sealed?

It was because of that rumor earlier about the Child of the Great Path fighting a group of Saint Kings, suffering heavy injuries, being unable to move, and currently in seclusion to recover.

The story was told so vividly, as if it were actually true.

If these Saint Kings hadn't been clever enough to wait and see, refraining from acting rashly, they might have also been suppressed and Sealed, currently turned into little bronze figures for others to play with.

And among them... there is one person they cannot bypass!

That is Aurora Saint King!

The news about the Child of the Great Path being injured and recuperating... was spread by this guy!

The channels for spreading the news were secretive and reliable, and although the Child of the Great Path had risen too quickly and possessed unparalleled strength, his Foundation was ultimately too shallow, so it was impossible for him to have such information channels.

In other words, Aurora Saint King played a very disgraceful role in this.

He assisted the Child of the Great Path in spreading false information, causing so many Saint Kings to suffer greatly.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"Is that how you want to play?"

"I never expected you, Aurora Saint King, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes... to actually betray us!"

"We can't deal with that Child of the Great Path... but surely we can deal with you, right?"

Thinking of Aurora Saint King, these Saint Kings immediately gnashed their teeth in anger, wishing they could grab him right now and torture him well to vent their hatred.

Regardless of anything else, Aurora Saint King has indeed been getting close to that Child of the Great Path recently.

Although Aurora Saint King always claims to the outside world that he has nothing to do with the Child of the Great Path, and that if they want to capture the Child of the Great Path, he will not stop them—and indeed, Aurora Saint King has never stepped out to stop them...

…but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Aurora Saint King and the Child of the Great Path have an extraordinary relationship!

"Since that's the case... then don't blame us for being impolite!"

"You damned bastard!"

Purple Zenith Saint King finally spoke: "Since that's the case, let's first take down Aurora Saint King... and then go deal with that Li Qi!"

Aurora Saint King has a good relationship with Li Qi and is likely Li Qi's weakness. Using him to threaten Li Qi and force him to submit... is simply perfect.

This is an excellent Breakthrough point!

After reaching a consensus, the group of Saint Kings did not hesitate any longer and rushed toward Gu Yong City...

...

Gu Yong City.

Inside the Saint King's villa.

Aurora Saint King sighed leisurely: "Li Qi, I'm afraid I won't be able to supply these creation crystal stones anymore..."

Li Qi, who was meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them: "Oh? What's the situation?"

Li Qi had Sealed dozens of Saint Kings back and forth, naturally obtaining many good items. He had handed all these items over to Aurora Saint King to exchange for creation crystal stones.

And now, the problem has arrived.

Although Aurora Saint King had a great many good items on hand... there was no one left to buy them.

The reason is simple: there are fewer Saint Kings now than before.

The good items Li Qi used to exchange for creation crystal stones were all plucked from those Saint Kings. Precisely because of this, these items were of extremely high quality and very expensive, and their primary consumers were mostly other Saint Kings...

But there aren't many Saint Kings left who can still jump around!

The current market is a standard buyer's market, with supply exceeding demand...

Li Qi was the one attacking the buyers!

Nearly half of the buyers had already been suppressed and Sealed by him, turning into bronze statues!

It is foreseeable that the market will only get worse in the future, and fewer and fewer people will come to buy.

Of course, the things plucked from Saint Kings would also be bought by Dao Source Realm powerhouses below, but not many could afford the price, and not many would be willing to buy.

Wanting to earn creation crystal stones by the handful as before... is likely impossible.

After explaining the reasons, Li Qi raised his hand to rub his chin and pondered.

"I see. It seems this path won't be very viable in the future..."

"Since that's the case, it's necessary to switch to a different path."

What other methods could quickly earn a large amount of creation crystal stones?

Li Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

Suddenly, two figures appeared in Li Qi's mind.

Deep in the boundless starry sky, two figures arrived at a Star Domain filled with rubble, where one of the figures complained somewhat.

"It's all those Saint Kings' fault. We clearly have Starry Sky Iron in our Ancient Origin Realm, but the Starry Sky Iron veins have all been monopolized by them!"

"Those Saint Kings should all die!"

And these two figures... were none other than the grandfather and grandson who had gone to the Star Fragment Sea to look for Starry Sky Iron!

The conversation between the grandfather and grandson reminded Li Qi.

Those Saint Kings had operated in the Source Realm for many years, mastering a vast amount of resources, and many precious resources were directly monopolized by them.

This included not only Starry Sky Iron... but naturally, also creation crystal stones!

Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Li Qi's lips, and he asked Aurora Saint King.

"Aurora, do you know which Saint Kings have creation crystal stone mines in their hands?"

Aurora Saint King was slightly taken aback; he seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked: "Li Qi, are you thinking..."

Li Qi chuckled: "That's right, just what you're thinking!"

What time is it now? Why still think about selling goods by the book to exchange for creation crystal stones?

In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between him, the Child of the Great Path, and those Saint Kings is one of irreconcilable enmity.

In just half a year, several major battles broke out, and many Saint Kings were suppressed and Sealed, and stripped of their Sacred Throne!

Li Qi is either beating people up... or on his way to beat people up!

Since both sides are already at daggers drawn, why should I still be polite to you?

I'll just go ahead and rob them!

Many Saint Kings have creation crystal stone mines monopolized under them, so I'll just go and rob your mines!

Isn't this faster than relying on selling goods to exchange for creation crystal stones?

Li Qi felt instantly that he had opened the door to a new world!
