Chapter 6781: Sending Away

“What feeling do you speak of?” Xiaoyue asked.

“No evidence, and it’s not a good thing either, just besmirch the reputation.” Qing Ji shook his head.

“Fine, no more on this matter.” Li Qiye didn’t want to bully the dead and said: “You have an old rune.”

“You’re here for Hidden Immortal.” Qing Ji said.

“Yes, so you are aware.” Li Qiye said.

“I’ve only heard a thing or two and might know less than you.” Qing Ji said: “So you wish to find Immortal Order.”

“I respect the dead so when you said you had nothing to do with Phoenix Queen and Skykiller Dragon, I will allow you to keep this secret and bury it with yourself. However, you must give me the rune.” Li Qiye said: “Others might not be able to do anything to the dead, but if I must, I will revive you and let you regret it.”

“Revival...” Qing Ji’s eyes gleamed.

Xiaoyue took a deep breath upon hearing this. Qing Ji died long ago and couldn’t live again. Reincarnation was impossible. This soul call state couldn’t last long either. Only the high heaven could touch this realm.

“You will pay a heavy price.” Qing Ji said.

“I can afford it if circumstances dictate.” Li Qiye said: “Instead of worrying about me, you should ask yourself if you are ready for rebirth.”

For the dead, coming back to life was better than anything. However, he couldn’t imagine what awaited him in this scenario.

“I’ve never thought about coming back to life.” Qing Ji sighed.

“Then we should come to an agreement. I want this rune and won’t force you to answer anything else.” Li Qiye said.

“The rune is very important.” Qing Ji hesitated briefly before responding.

“You are already dead, it is useless to you.” Xiaoyue added.

“Nothing good will come from this.” Qing Ji said.

“Good or bad, it is time to face it. The disaster will not affect you, perhaps just another divine beast.” Xiaoyue said.

“I know, it’s useless for the dead.” Qing Ji said.

“And I would have taken it even if you were alive.” Li Qiye said.

“Right.” Qing Ji contemplated carefully before nodding: “Very well, I’ll take you there.”

“Good, and your mission will end then.” Li Qiye nodded.

Qing Ji brought the duo to Beastmaster Ancestral Ground - the battlefield where Qing Ji was killed by Empress Hong Tian. It was also where Immortal Emperor Qing He started the agreement between heavenly beasts and cultivators, leading this world to a new golden age.

However, as time passed, this ancestral ground fell into decline and was forgotten. Qing Ji had hidden his rune in a mysterious area right here.

“Buzz.” Qing Ji handed the rune to Li Qiye. Blood rays emanated from it, seemingly alive.

“This isn’t it.” Li Qiye said.

“I’m not sure, it was like this when I obtained it.” Qing Ji shook his head.

“Anything else you want to say?” Li Qiye asked.

“That’s not part of our agreement, right?” Qing Ji said.

“Yes, a deal’s a deal. You do not have to speak.” Li Qiye said.

“Thank you.” Qing Ji bowed before asking: “I have a favor to ask of you.”

“What is it?” Li Qiye asked.

“I want to die completely, even my soul.” Qing Ji glanced at the three bones.

“You want me to destroy your remnant bones.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Yes, please agree.” Qing Ji beseeched.

“Since you gave me the rune, I can fulfill this little request.” Li Qiye said: “We’re starting now?”

Qing Ji sighed and told Xiaoyue: “It’s time for you to return, there are things you have to do.”

“Such as?” Xiaoyue asked.

“Perhaps we must find out the truth. Go search the ocean of wisdom or think about how His Majesty died.” Qing Ji said, albeit begrudgingly.

“You mean...” Her expression changed.

“I mean nothing.” Qing Ji sighed while glancing at Li Qiye.

“Don’t worry, I will give the divine beasts a chance to figure it out. After all, that will save me some trouble.” Li Qiye said.

Qing Ji and Xiaoyue exchanged glances. The latter seemed to realize something.

“Sir, I have nothing else to say. We can start.” Qing Ji said.

“Then I will send you away. You will cease to exist in this world, eternal death.” Li Qiye smiled.

“I truly appreciate it.” Qing Ji bowed deeply before adding: “Sir, Hidden Order might not be one person.”

“Yes, I know.” Li Qiye nodded before focusing his gaze on the three bones.

His intensified will reduced them to nothingness. Not even a trace was left.
