Chapter 1648

The Nether Clan Old Ancestor's last words already made the meaning very clear.

A sect whose Holy Lord hasn't even reached Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation wants to ally with his Nether Clan—it's still too early.

Moreover, Dao Yi Shengdi now also has deadly enmity with the demon race and Huánggōng; once allied, it would mean the Nether Clan directly gains two formidable foes.

He hasn't moved his chopsticks, indicating the Nether Clan Old Ancestor also plans to lay out the unpleasant words first; regardless, I oppose the alliance.

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing fell silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, showing no trace of nervousness despite facing an existence of the Ancestor Realm.

"Senior's meaning is, if the Holy Lord of my Dao Yi Shengdi can break through to Emperor Sovereign Realm, then the Nether Clan could consider the alliance, right?"

Ye Zhangqing's statement somewhat amounted to shifting the concept.

Qi Xiong is currently in closed-door cultivation attempting a breakthrough; who knows when he'll succeed, and Ye Zhangqing also wants to take a gamble.

If the Nether Clan Old Ancestor says yes, then after Qi Xiong breaks through to Emperor Sovereign Realm we can try again, using this as an opening.

Upon hearing this, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor laughed indifferently.

"Let's talk after the breakthrough."

He naturally knows what Ye Zhangqing is plotting, but breaking through to Emperor Sovereign Realm isn't that easy.

Even if you have great medicines, wanting to break through to Emperor Sovereign Realm is still fraught with difficulty; favorable timing, location, and harmony are all indispensable—do you really think secluding yourself for a cultivation session will let you break through to Emperor Sovereign Realm?

Moreover, who knows when Qi Xiong will break through to Emperor Sovereign—it could be a year of the monkey and month of the horse; by then................

Anyway, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor doesn't believe the Holy Lord of Dao Yi Shengdi can break through to Emperor Sovereign Realm in a short time.

But just as his words fell, before Ye Zhangqing could even speak, a terrifying aura suddenly shot up from Qi Xiong's Dong Fu.

Hmm???

Sensing this aura, both Ye Zhangqing and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor were startled, yet Ye Zhangqing's heart leapt with joy.

From the aura, Ye Zhangqing already knew it came from Qi Xiong.

Moreover, this is the aura of a breakthrough.

Having been in closed-door cultivation until now with no movement, Qi Xiong is obviously breaking through to Emperor Sovereign Realm.

That aura kept rising, soon breaking through the limit of the Great Emperor Realm and directly entering the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

The Nether Clan Old Ancestor still wore a doubtful expression, while Ye Zhangqing beside him had already spoken.

"I must thank the senior's golden words; the Holy Lord of my Dao Yi Shengdi has successfully broken through to Emperor Sovereign Realm."

Hmm???

Upon hearing this, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's expression became extraordinarily remarkable—when did I ever utter golden words?

Just moments ago I was thinking, how could the Holy Lord of Dao Yi Shengdi possibly break through to Emperor Sovereign Realm so easily, as if Emperor Sovereign Realm were Chinese cabbage on the street, anyone could break through.

But before those words had even finished, not even "landing," they already broke through.

Isn't this just slapping oneself in the face?

For a moment, hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor didn't know what to say—what do you call this?

Not breaking through early, not breaking through late, but breaking through at this critical juncture—is it aimed at him?

While the Nether Clan Old Ancestor was stunned, Ye Zhangqing naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass.

Just now the Nether Clan Old Ancestor himself said, "Let's talk after the breakthrough"—the implication being that as long as Qi Xiong can break through to Emperor Sovereign Realm, there's something to discuss.

Given the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's stature, it's impossible for him to deny his words just spoken a moment ago.

All I can say is, this round, Qi Xiong came through big time—nicely done.

"Senior just said that as long as the Holy Lord of my Dao Yi Shengdi breaks through to Emperor Sovereign Realm, this alliance matter.............."

Ye Zhangqing looked at the Nether Clan Old Ancestor and said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor fell silent, no longer the decisive refusal from before—what can be done? The words were his own, and just now he turned his head; he surely can't deny them.

He couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.

"I did say those words................."

Reluctantly speaking, upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing was about to speak when, the next second, another aura of breaking through to Emperor Sovereign Realm shot up from Wu Shou's Dong Fu.

In an instant, the two auras of breaking through to Emperor Sovereign Realm instantly enveloped the entire Dao Yi Shengdi.

That formidable pressure caused many disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi to glance sideways.

And Ye Zhangqing, who had just been about to speak, after a brief stunned moment, couldn't help but crack a smile.

Today's luck is not bad—the Holy Lord and the Grand Elder are both giving it their all.

The consecutive breakthroughs of Qi Xiong and Wu Shou are truly an unexpected delight; Ye Zhangqing hadn't even imagined this before arriving.

Who would have thought that Qi Xiong and Wu Shou, who had shown no movement, would consecutively break through at this very moment, coincidentally delivering such a boost to Ye Zhangqing.

Looking at the Nether Clan Old Ancestor with a complex expression, Ye Zhangqing laughed.

"Senior, this is the Grand Elder of my Dao Yi Shengdi; I didn't expect him to break through as well—truly borrowing your auspicious words."

Hehe, hehe................

Upon hearing this, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's mouth twitched, he gave a dry laugh twice; though he didn't say it aloud, he couldn't help cursing inwardly.

No need to borrow my auspicious words; my damn mouth isn't that accurate, and I haven't even been enlightened.

Facing Ye Zhangqing's smiling face, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor fell silent for a moment, then finally said softly.

"What on earth is going on with your Dao Yi Shengdi?"

These words are the Nether Clan Old Ancestor's sincere feelings; just as they fell, breakthroughs came one after another—are you not playing with people's minds?

Are you not giving this old man any face at all?

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Zhangqing's reply, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor picked up his chopsticks on his own, casually grabbed a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.

Earlier I intended to get the unpleasant words out first; now it's fine—the unpleasant words just finished, and they've instead blocked you off.

Originally I planned to speak first then eat; now looking at it, what's the difference?

Might as well eat; one bite down, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor only felt the flavor instantly conquer him.

The flavor, perfect to the point of having no flaw, burst in his mouth; for a moment, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor seemed to somewhat understand why that old thing Yongye would agree to ally with Dao Yi Shengdi.

The earlier rations were already quite tasty; otherwise, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor would not have abandoned his purpose of personally coming to Haotu Shijie, and would have stayed there for so many days.

But now the flavor of this dish, compared to the rations he ate before, is even better by quite a bit.

The wok hei is strong indeed; indeed, this freshly stir-fried dish and the rations are completely two different matters.

With a look of enjoyment, he chewed slowly; after finishing, he still didn't forget to drink a cup of fine wine.

This wine is not bad either; although it doesn't match the dish's flavor that astonishes people so much, it is also a rare good wine.

It can be seen that there are also people who understand wine within Dao Yi Shengdi.

The delicious dishes, paired with this excellent-quality fine wine, taking a bite of dish then a sip of wine, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor only felt his mood improve considerably.

The gloom brought about by Qi Xiong and Wu Shou's successive breakthroughs earlier, under the dishes and fine wine, is gradually dissipating bit by bit.
