Chapter 95

Emperor Su Yonghuang suspiciously sized up Li Qiyi in front of him but did not really believe Li Qiyi’s words.

"I know why the previous sect leader and the Grand Elder chose you as the successor," Li Qiyi said slowly. "As the descendant of Immortal Emperor Mingren, of course you have the qualifications to be the leader of the Xianyan Ancient Sect."

"How did you know about this!" Su Yonghuang’s face couldn’t help but change drastically. The Su family of the Horizon, this was just their self-proclaimed name, but the world didn’t know that the Su family of the Horizon was actually the descendant of Immortal Emperor Mingren!

"The ancestor appeared in my dream and told me," Li Qiyi smiled and said.

Su Yonghuang shook her head; she certainly didn’t believe such a claim. Dreams were too absurd and unbelievable. If it wasn’t the ancestor appearing in a dream to tell Li Qiyi, how did this fourteen-year-old boy know?

"Su family of the Horizon." In the end, Li Qiyi couldn’t help but sigh. It was a memory from long ago. Although he had always known that the Su family of the Horizon was well, he hadn’t been there since those days.

The Su family of the Horizon, even as Yin Ya, he didn’t want to talk much about it, because this matter almost made him and Immortal Emperor Mingren fall out.

Immortal Emperor Mingren, from a penniless young man, eventually carried the mandate of heaven and became an Immortal Emperor. This was indeed not easy. Besides his own efforts and Li Qiyi’s guidance, he also relied on the help of many brothers and friends.

Back then, Immortal Emperor Mingren had a female general by his side. She had followed him for a long time, and it could be said that wherever Immortal Emperor Mingren went, she was there too, even before he became an Immortal Emperor.

This woman came from a prominent family at the time, but as the evil Yin Ya, Li Qiyi saw her talent. He spent a lot of effort to keep her by Immortal Emperor Mingren’s side!

It was worth Li Qiyi’s effort. The woman stayed by Immortal Emperor Mingren’s side, like a virtuous wife, always assisting him. With her talent, she had recruited many virtuous talents for Immortal Emperor Mingren. After he carried the mandate of heaven and became an Immortal Emperor, she even drafted imperial edicts for him!

In Li Qiyi’s view, she was the most suitable candidate for Empress. Moreover, over the years, she had been diligent and dedicated, and Immortal Emperor Mingren’s rise to Immortal Emperor was due in no small part to her efforts! More importantly, she had always loved Immortal Emperor Mingren.

Because of this, as Immortal Emperor Mingren’s mentor, Yin Ya Li Qiyi always hoped that Immortal Emperor Mingren would marry her and make her Empress.

However, the problem was that Immortal Emperor Mingren fell in love with another woman. As Yin Ya, Li Qiyi once commented on this woman: "Naive to the point of being stupid!"

This wasn’t the worst part. For an Immortal Emperor, having multiple wives was nothing. Li Qiyi could also find Immortal Emperor Mingren a few virtuous wives!

However, the worst part was that this naive woman didn’t like Immortal Emperor Mingren. Even worse, she liked one of Immortal Emperor Mingren’s strongest enemies, who could be considered his greatest rival when he was still a young man!

Immortal Emperor Mingren, however, was deeply in love with this naive woman. If there was one thing in Immortal Emperor Mingren’s life that Li Qiyi, as Yin Ya, couldn’t stand, it was this. When Immortal Emperor Mingren was still a young man, Li Qiyi had scolded him many times, calling him a wooden-headed fool! Sometimes, Li Qiyi even wanted to knock his head and erase the memory of that woman!

No matter how much Li Qiyi, as Yin Ya, scolded him, the young Immortal Emperor Mingren remained deeply in love with that naive girl, leaving Li Qiyi helpless and at a loss.

Later, when Immortal Emperor Mingren carried the mandate of heaven and became an Immortal Emperor, he still didn’t marry. Li Qiyi, of course, knew why. However, this wasn’t what Li Qiyi wanted to see, especially after Immortal Emperor Mingren carried the mandate of heaven, as Yin Ya, he was in an unstable state and could fall into a deep sleep at any time.

At that time, he didn’t know how long he would sleep, so before he fell asleep, he decided to do one thing—leave Immortal Emperor Mingren with an heir!

Of course, the best candidate for this was the Su woman! Li Qiyi spent a lot of effort and finally lured Immortal Emperor Mingren into the trap. Of course, at that time, as an Immortal Emperor, he never expected his mentor to trick him.

When Immortal Emperor Mingren was in the most dangerous place in the Nine Realms, Li Qiyi made him share a bed with the Su woman, and the seed was successfully planted.

When Immortal Emperor Mingren returned from the most dangerous place, the deed was already done!

This incident almost caused a falling out between Immortal Emperor Mingren and Yin Ya Li Qiyi. The shouting between them echoed through the heavens. At that time, Immortal Emperor Mingren was furious, and Li Qiyi also lost his temper, with a terrifying aura sweeping through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Under the Immortal Emperor’s rage, all living beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths trembled in fear.

Of course, no one dared to ask what had happened. In short, the sky was almost torn apart.

Immortal Emperor Mingren’s attitude left the Su woman heartbroken, and she eventually left him. In this matter, as Yin Ya, Li Qiyi always felt guilty towards the Su woman. It was he who had brought her to Immortal Emperor Mingren’s side, and despite the strong opposition from her family, she chose to stand by Immortal Emperor Mingren.

It’s important to note that back then, Immortal Emperor Mingren was still a penniless young man, while the Su woman not only came from a wealthy and powerful family but was also exceptionally beautiful and talented, with boundless wisdom!

At that time, the Su woman’s family certainly didn’t want her to assist a penniless young man like Immortal Emperor Mingren.

In this matter, as Yin Ya, Li Qiyi spent a lot of effort, and in the end, the Su woman agreed to stay, which led to her being ostracized by her family.

The Su woman had always been someone Li Qiyi looked highly upon. If Immortal Emperor Mingren became an Immortal Emperor, the Su woman would be the best choice for Empress. Unfortunately, Immortal Emperor Mingren’s wooden head fell in love with a naive woman.

After this incident, as Yin Ya, Li Qiyi always felt guilty towards the Su woman. She had paid so much but ultimately had to leave in disappointment.

As Yin Ya, he knew his time before falling into a deep sleep was limited, so he provided the Su woman with the best resources and conditions to create a safe haven for her. This place eventually became known as the Su family of the Horizon!

Li Qiyi knew that the Su woman chose this name for a reason: no matter how far the horizon, her love for Immortal Emperor Mingren would never change!

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick. Despite this, the Su woman still raised Immortal Emperor Mingren’s son and made the Su family of the Horizon flourish!

In later generations, everyone knew that Immortal Emperor Mingren never married and had no descendants, but no one knew that his lineage continued! This secret was known only to the successive generations of the Su family and the long-lived Li Qiyi.

"What’s wrong?" As Li Qiyi was lost in his distant memories, Su Yonghuang, sitting opposite him, called out, bringing him back to his senses.

Li Qiyi came to his senses, looked at Su Yonghuang, and then at Tu Buyu, saying, "I understand your background. It’s impossible for Disciple Brother Tu to be your disciple, right? From what I see, Disciple Brother Tu isn’t from the Su family, even if you practiced the War God Technique!"

The War God Technique was the supreme art practiced by Immortal Emperor Mingren, but he didn’t pass it down. As Yin Ya, Li Qiyi made the Su woman inherit this technique.

The War God Technique came from the War God Temple. Although he taught it to Immortal Emperor Mingren, in principle, Immortal Emperor Mingren couldn’t pass it on. However, Li Qiyi made an exception for the Su woman, allowing her to pass the War God Technique to Immortal Emperor Mingren’s son!

Because of this, the War God Technique became the family’s secret art of the Su family of the Horizon!

Tu Buyu chuckled and said, "Disciple, I have always been a disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, but my situation is a bit special. After joining the sect, I rarely stayed in the sect and wandered outside. As for the War God Technique, I started practicing it later."

"You have been searching for the Su family!" Li Qiyi stared at Tu Buyu and said.

Tu Buyu laughed awkwardly and had to admit, "At the time, I was ordered by my master to find the descendants of the ancestor. Our Xianyan Ancient Sect had declined, but one of the Grand Elders found some clues in the sect’s records, believing that the ancestor had descendants. After joining the Xianyan Ancient Sect, I was chosen and wandered outside to find the descendants of the ancestor or bring back the Imperial Technique. Because of this, the Ancient Elders didn’t know much about me, only that I was a disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect."

"The Su family of the Horizon has no Imperial Technique!" Li Qiyi shook his head and said.

Tu Buyu sighed lightly and said, "The Su family is generous. After learning about the situation of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, they agreed to have the sect leader take over the Xianyan Ancient Sect. I was also exceptionally taught the War God Technique. At the time, I was limited by the technique and hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I destroyed my previous foundation and started over."

Hearing this, Li Qiyi couldn’t help but look at him more closely. Having lived so long, his foundation was deep, and the fact that he could start over showed great determination and courage.

Finally, Li Qiyi looked at Su Yonghuang and said, "You are the successor of the Su family of the Horizon!"

"How did you know?" Li Qiyi’s direct statement left Su Yonghuang moved. The current Su family has many descendants and branches, but only the successor can lead the Su family in the future!

"Daytime Body." Li Qiyi said, "Only the successor of the Su family can practice the Immortal Technique of the Daytime Body."
