Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

After his reminder, everyone immediately realized that the tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty was protected by an imperial-level divine weapon.

The power of an Emperor-level divine weapon is absolutely beyond the reach of even a Void Realm expert.

Moreover, the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty possessed an extraordinary imperial-level divine weapon, making it far from easy to kill him.

Soon, everyone thought of this matter.

Ye Mubai's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "The tenth prince of the Great Zhou is hailed as the greatest genius of all time. Surely he wouldn't use an Emperor-level divine weapon? If he did, wouldn't that tarnish your reputation?"

He naturally couldn't let Li Qiye use an Emperor-level divine weapon. If he did, Ye Kaitai might really have no chance.

Ye Kaitai also thought of this and said in a deep voice, "In our battle, we cannot use Emperor-level divine weapons."

The difference in strength between having and not having an Emperor-level divine weapon is enormous, and the threat posed by an Emperor-level divine weapon, which represents the strongest foundation, is unimaginable.

If Li Qiye were to use an Emperor-level divine weapon, even if Ye Kaitai were a genius or prodigy, he would not be a match for him.

"Why can't we use it?"

"What does it matter to me if you don't have an Emperor-level divine weapon?"

"If you're scared, you can ask the Ye family to give you an Emperor-level divine weapon as well."

Li Qiye's voice rang out. They were already bullying the weak and had no right to do so, yet they still wanted to restrict others from using Emperor-level divine weapons. What kind of joke was this? Although he could easily kill his opponent even without an Emperor-level divine weapon, it didn't mean that Li Qiye would listen to the Ye family's opinion.

"Using an Emperor-level divine weapon is unfair."

Ye Kaitai said in a deep voice.

"You, a former holy son of the Ye family, want to find ways to challenge me. You say that's fair?"

Li Qiye mocked.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately responded.

The Nine Yang Saint immediately jumped out and said, "If we're talking about fairness, the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou can do without an Emperor-level divine weapon, but you must also compress your cultivation level to the same level as the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou. Only then will it be truly fair."

"What fairness is there in merely restricting the tenth prince of the Great Zhou?"

"Then it would be better to let the tenth prince of the Great Zhou stand in front of you and let you kill him."

If he could, Ye Kaitai would really like to do that: stand in front of Li Qiye and kill him directly.

However, Ye Kaitai naturally ignored what the Nine Yang Saint Son said.

What a joke! He originally intended to use his superior cultivation level to suppress his opponent, which was his only advantage and opportunity.

To have him fight Li Qiye at the same level is tantamount to courting death, isn't it?
"The Ye family is indeed shameless. Although the Emperor-level divine weapon does affect the balance between the two sides, where is the fairness in the Ye family's actions?"

"We can only try to gain the upper hand and prevent others from having it. Besides, the Emperor-level Divine Weapon is the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty's biggest trump card, and it's also the opponent's weapon. It's not like we're using the Great Zhou Dynasty's Emperor-level Divine Weapon."

"That's really shameless. They might as well have the tenth prince of the Great Zhou stand in front of them and let them kill him."

"This is not the problem. It would be simpler to make the tenth prince of the Great Zhou commit suicide, without them even having to lift a finger!"

"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this!"

The powerful figures watching from the sidelines were completely taken aback.

The Ye family is utterly shameless; there isn't a single shameless person in the entire family, and they want almost every kind of privilege.

The older generation was already shameless enough to take action, but now they're imposing all sorts of restrictions. If the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty possessed an imperial-level divine weapon, these restrictions would be understandable, since it represents the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But using such a thing would be truly unreasonable.

However, Li Qiye's Emperor-level divine weapon did not belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, he himself forbade others to use his weapon, which was a bit unreasonable. Wasn't this blatant bullying?
Are you scared?

Ye Kaitai looked at Li Qiye, preparing to provoke him. But Li Qiye wasn't buying it at all, calmly saying, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that you're afraid."

"I didn't refuse your invitation. Apart from asking you to pay the Ghanaian tax and even fight my wife, I didn't make any other demands."

"But if you're truly afraid, then don't put on such a show of force by making these demands. If you feel that an Emperor-level divine weapon affects the fairness of this battle, then you can ask the Ye family to bring out an Emperor-level divine weapon. That way, it'll be fair for everyone."

Trying to provoke him with this method? Dream on.

Moreover, it wasn't them who proposed this battle, but the Ye family, and he wasn't the one in a hurry.

"Of course, it's not impossible for me to not use an Emperor-level divine weapon."

Suddenly, Li Qiye changed the subject and said with a smile, "I've heard that your Ye family has quite a few half-step Emperor-level divine weapons. Take out three as the stakes, plus one billion spirit stones, and a Supreme Token."

Whether or not he possesses an Emperor-level divine weapon doesn't have a significant impact on Li Qiye, but that doesn't mean he would casually give up using Emperor-level divine weapons.

Giving up is acceptable, but the Ye family must provide compensation.

A half-step Emperor-level divine weapon!

This is a great divine weapon that falls between the Saint-level and Emperor-level divine weapons.

Such divine weapons are extremely rare. Even the Great Zhou Dynasty had less than ten, and the Ye family had even fewer, probably only five or six.

Li Qiye's actions—making the opponent produce half of a half-step Emperor-level divine weapon—were nothing short of causing the opponent to bleed profusely.

It's almost equivalent to having the other person cut off your blood vessels and bleed you out.

Besides, the value of one billion spirit stones is unimaginable.

Most importantly, it's the Supreme Token!

This is the key needed for the secret realm left behind by the Eternal Emperor. The Eternal Emperor once left behind a secret realm after leaving the Nine Netherworld, which contains the Eternal Emperor's inheritance and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

To open it, you need a key, and this Supreme Token is that key.

There are three Supreme Tokens in total, scattered throughout the Nine Netherworld.

One of them was obtained by the Fox Demon Empress. She opened the secret realm, received the inheritance and insights of the Eternal Emperor, and ultimately walked the same path as the Eternal Emperor.

Another one is in the Ye family's treasure vault. The Ye family has kept it for a long time, but they have never known where the inheritance of the Eternal Emperor is, so they have never used it.

"How did you know that our Ye family possesses a Supreme Token?"

Ye Mubai's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"There are no secrets in this world. Patriarch Ye can think about it himself."

Li Qiye smiled meaningfully.

He deliberately went to disgust Ye Mubai, to plant a seed of doubt in his mind.

As for whether it would pose a threat to the Ye family, that was not something Li Qiye needed to consider; he just wanted to annoy them.

He believed that once Ye Mubai returned, the Ye family would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and perhaps it had already begun.

"This is an outrageous demand; the tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is no ordinary person who is greedy."

"However, the Ye family actually possesses the Supreme Token, which is the key to unlocking the inheritance of the Eternal Emperor."

"But how did the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou find out?"

"That's unknown. Even now, the location of the Eternal Emperor's legacy remains a mystery. Even obtaining this Supreme Token wouldn't help." (End of Chapter)
