Emperor’s Domination

Chapter 5973: The Ancestral Heirloom Isn’t For Sale

The fragrance and light from Li Shrine alerted everyone in Insane Gate. The elders and Furious Wind Saber King hurriedly gathered outside.

“A strange phenomenon, could it be that our Virtuous King’s spirit returns?” They were moved after hearing the news.

Virtuous King, the bringer of prosperity, had yet to show any sign to her descendants after death. Therefore, this was an unprecedented event.

“Will the king guide us toward the right path?” Furious Wind said emotionally.

They witnessed waves of light emanating from the shrine and smelled the night lotuses' fragrance.

“It’s the ancestral lotuses, they’re full of life!” They saw the two trees in the outer courtyard.

“They were planted by our Virtuous King but withered after her passing, this recovery is an auspicious sign!” The first elder couldn’t stay calm.

“I believe the king obtained them from Longevity Valley, it’s a divine medicine with seeds capable of healing the mind and any injury, it’s priceless.” The other elders commented after seeing the blossoming flowers and their seeds.

“Come, we must protect the legacy of Virtuous King!” Furious Wind wanted to stay here forever.

Ads by PubFuture Before this, they didn’t bother due to a lack of valuable legacies. The place might have been demolished if it wasn’t for Virtuous King’s prestige. Nevertheless, they kept servants to keep it clean out of respect.

The holy land was forgotten until today. Now, they wanted to prevent anyone from getting close to their cherished location.

However, they couldn’t get inside due to a new guard - Edge Mountain Crone.

“Senior, what is the meaning of this?” Their expression soured.

“The young noble is in deep meditation. Saber King and everyone, please do not disturb him and leave.” The old demon said.

“Senior, this is our Insane Gate, we own every inch of land and brick here, I can go anywhere I wish as the sect master.” Furious Wind said seriously.

Logic was on his side because Li Shrine did indeed belong to Insane Gate.

“That is your business, mine is to not let anyone disturb the young noble.” The old demon shook her head.

Her strong stance caught everyone by surprise. Why was this ancestor from Resting Bull being so unreasonable?

“Senior, are you trying to take over our territory and antagonize us?” An elder said with a darkened expression.

“I harbor no such improper thought and am only carrying out my duty.” She said.

This angered the group but they remained civil due to her powerful cultivation.

“First Elder, it is time to be judicious lest risk sect destruction.” Incense Daoist warned blatantly: “The young noble cares not for this property nor its content, but if you provoke him, he will destroy your sect.”

The king was young and impetuous so the moment he heard the threat, he angrily shouted: “Justice and reason are on our side for protecting our property!”

The first elder pulled him to the side and said: “Your Majesty, please calm down.”

“They are walking all over us now, their goal is the lotus!” An elder joined in.

“If that’s the case, they would be long gone already instead of waiting for us to come. Think about it, this young noble can casually give an ancient dragon crystal away, why would he try to steal our ancestral lotuses?” The first elder gazed at the trees and said.

The king and the elders thought about it and agreed. Li Qiye had shown incredible generosity to a stranger and wouldn’t need to take their flowers.

“But Li Shrine is still our area, it’s unacceptable that we can’t come in.” A different elder said indignantly.

“Patience pays off.” The first elder shook his head: “This is the time to control ourselves.”

As they were talking among themselves, someone else came after seeing the visual phenomenon.

“A sacred lotus?” The person’s eyes gleamed with greed after seeing the two trees.

“Saint Child, those lotuses belong to us.” Furious Wind and the elders blocked his way.

He was none other than Six-step Saint Child of Ancient Step.

“I have heard the rumors before, seeds taken from Longevity Valley by your Virtuous King. This is a divine medicine, it’s blossoming too.” The saint child said.

“Yes, the withered trees have been reborn, an auspicious sign for our sect.” Furious Wind said.

“Congratulations, congratulations.” The saint child immediately cupped his fist and the king returned the gesture.
