Legend Of The Perfect Emperor - Chapter 78

“You want me to leave the sect? Did you not hear a thing I just said? I have already sworn my alliance to this sect with the heavens as the witness! If I leave despite that, I will invoke a heavenly tribulation, and I might even be cursed by the heavens!” said Li Liling in a serious voice.

To swear with the heavens as a witness is a serious commitment. If one breaks their promise despite swearing an oath, heavenly tribulation will occur to strike down the offender! And for cultivators like the Li siblings, a heavenly tribulation meant death with no chance of survival, and even if they were lucky enough to survive it, they would still be cursed by the heavens until even after death!

So Li Qinqin telling Li Liling to leave the sect was essentially tell her to suicide!

Hesitation flickered in Li Qinqin’s eyes. She was not unfamiliar with the term heavenly tribulation or how serious swearing an oath with the heavens as the witness was in the world of cultivation.

“It It will be fine!” Li Qinqin finally said. “You are not betraying the sect and will only be accompanying me on my journey!”

Li Liling smiled bitterly at her words. She was right, and there are loopholes even when swearing oaths, but would the heavens agree to that logic?

“The Heaven has eyes and will understand your situation I am sure of it,” said Li Qinqin, tightly grasping the coin in her hands.

“Even if that is the case, will the sect master allow that? Even I cannot escape from a Profound Realm expert like him, and we’ll be caught before we could even leave the sect!”

Li Qinqin thought about her words for a moment before smiling. “It’ll be fine. Even if he is a Spirit Realm expert, he will have to let you go!” she said with confidence.

Li Liling was dumbfounded by her overflowing confidence. What kind of tricks could she possibly have up her sleeves that allows her to talk to arrogantly?

“Enough standing around, elder sister! Let’s get out of here!” said Li Qinqin as she grabbed the still dazed Li Liling by the hands, pulling her towards the exit.

“B-But”

Li Liling wanted to stop her, but as though she couldn’t hear her, Li Qinqin continued to pull her outside the pagoda.

And standing outside the pagoda was Fu Xuefang and the handsome young man, Xiao Fang.

“Oh? Are you”

“Sect Master!” Li Qinqin rudely interrupted Fu Xuefang, causing him to nearly choke on his on words.

He looked at her with wide eyes, wondering what she wanted to say.

“Sect Master wanted to know my relationship with him, right?” Li Qinqin asked him with narrowed eyes.

Fu Xuefang looked at her blankly for a moment before nodding with flickering eyes.

‘Him?’ Because they had been inside the pagoda cultivating, neither Xiao Fang or Li Liling had been able to see the floating figure, both missing their opportunity to witness an Immortal God.

Li Qinqin opened her closed fist to show Fu Xuefang the azure coin resting on her palm. “This was given to me by him,” she said in a gentle voice filled with longing.

“He said that he will return one day to retrieve it”

“I-Is that so But what does that have to do with your rela” Fu Xuefang’s eyes widened at that point, his voice suddenly clogged with shock upon realizing the meaning behind her words.

“I-I understand” he said after a moment of daze, his voice trembling with disbelief. “A-As expected from L-Li Liling’s younger sister You are good!”

Both Xiao Fang and Li Liling watched with their eyes popped out of its sockets, not daring to believe the words coming out of Fu Xuefang’s mouth.

“If sect master is willing, I can speak about you to him the next time we meet”

“I am willing!” he said instantly before she could even finish her sentence.

Li Qinqin smiled, and continued, “Also, can I ask sect master for a favor?”

“Go ahead! Ask whatever you want! As long as I have the power to make it happen, it will happen!”

To Fu Xuefang, just having his name mentioned to an Immortal God could be considered an achievement even greater than becoming the sect master of the Dragon Gate Sect!

“I’d like sect master to allow my elder sister, Li Liling to accompany me in my travel?” Li Qinqin asked.

“Of course” Fu Xuefang replied instantly only to forcefully stop his voice by holding his breath.

“Huh?” he then looked at her with wide eyes.

“I believe sect master is no stranger when it comes to knowing about my talent. I am useless when it comes to cultivation, being at the second level of Origin Realm even after cultivating for four years without rest. It would be too dangerous for me to leave the sect by myself, so I’d like to request for the sect master to allow my elder sister to accompany me for a while before returning to the sect.”

“…”

Fu Xuefang frowned silently, unsure of what he should say to her request that was obviously just an excuse for her to take Li Liling away with her.

However, even though he knew her ulterior motives, he couldn’t or didn’t have the courage to refuse.

Divine Realm Immortal God He does not have the power nor will to defy such an existence.

If Li Qinqin were to say anything to this Immortal God, a mere sneeze from him would easily flip this entire sect upside down, and the possibility of killing Li Qinqin and getting away scot free was an absurd dream even for a dream especially knowing that the Immortal God would return one day to find her

Even if he were to relocate his sect after killing Li Qinqin, would that really allow him to escape from the eyes of an Immortal God? Impossible.

Fu Xuefang sighed inwardly, the light in his eyes showing significant change.

“Will she return when you are satisfied with your journey?” he asked Li Qinqin, his voice filled with solemn defeat a defeat from a fight that he had not even the slightest chance of winning.

Hell, it was a fight that never even started.

“Yes!” Li Qinqin said confidently, nearly causing Fu Xuefang to cough up a mouthful of blood.

“Eh? Master, you’re”

“Shut up!” Fu Xuefang gnashed his teeth at the bewildered Xiao Fang.

Fu Xuefang then looked at Li Qinqin and the shocked Li Liling. “Leave before I change my mind…” he said in a low voice.

Li Qinqin nodded and bowed, “Thank you, sect master, for being so understanding!”

She then turned to the dazed Li Liling and smiled, “Let’s go, elder sister!” she said, grabbing her hands and pulling her towards the entrance that was also an exit for the Dragon Gate Sect.

And the moment the Li siblings disappeared into the distance, Fu Xuefang coughed up a mouthful of blood before falling unconscious onto the ground, directly hitting his head during the fall and causing even more blood to flow.

“M-Master!” Xiao Fang cried out in shock.
