Chapter 6343: Qualified To Haggle With Me?

The trees that once turned Lost and Centurial Peak into paradise have escaped. They had benefited the land with their medicinal properties and spirit energy.

Generations of disciples enjoyed faster cultivation speed and due to the improved soil, easier alchemy access.

Their absence made the land worth it. Although some remnant medicinal scents and effects lingered, it was only a matter of time before total disappearance.

Protectors and elders only saw the supreme ancestor tap the ground to have this effect. It was as if he had planted them all in the first place and was their true master.

Of course, Goldclad and Lostmetal knew this was not true. They did the hard labor for the plants, forming an agreement of sorts since they couldn’t fully dominate the divine trees.

Ten-realm and Tenth-gen Chen found this unfathomable. The reborn tree has been a part of their peak for eras, acting as its foundation. Why did it separate without hesitation?

“The disciples’ offense stemming from their ignorance doesn’t warrant such a heavy punishment…” The ancient voice spoke, seemingly coming from the past.

It intimidated everyone including emperors and desolate gods. He was obviously stronger and his presence was not required to dominate them. Taking their heads was as easy as reaching into his pockets.

“You think you are qualified to haggle with me? Looks like there is no repentance until the very end. The punishment does not stop here.” Li Qiye said.

Ten-realm and his allies became alarmed. They have lost all of their plants, was this not a grievous loss enough? Eras of work vanished into smoke.

“They do not deserve death.” Tenth-gen Chen said.

“Death, no, but your foolish branch does not deserve all of these things. It is time for them to be taken.” Li Qiye said.

“Ancestor, your comment is unreasonable since our branch has always been loyal to Desolate Frontier and contributed magnificently.” Tenth-gen Chen said: “What we have is paid by the blood of our members. Now, you wish to take them away on a mere whim?”

“Is it built on contribution and not unsavory flesh and blood? Desolate Ancestor cared about past sentiments, not I. What should be taken shall be taken. It is time for Centurial Peak to have a change of name.” Li Qiye said casually.

The crowd was shocked to hear this. Did he want to take the peak and put an end to the Chen?

This would be an earth-shattering change since the Chen had always been a pillar of Desolate Frontier. Moreover, with the death of Everlasting Jiang, Desolate Frontier needed an unbeatable master such as Tenth-gen Chen.

The branch also had other emperors and desolate gods, not just the three emperors seen here. Taking everything away from them could cause internal strife, eventually causing declination and destruction.

Absolute Ancestor exchanged glances with Crimson Virtue. The Chen has maintained considerable influence after Desolate Ancestor’s departure. Their Centurial Peak and cities were essentially independent. The clan had their own set of rules and the members weren’t subjected to Desolate Frontier’s general rules.

They had certain shackles due to Everlasting Jiang and Wisdom Ancestor. However, the latter couldn’t directly interfere with the clan’s matters.

Ordinary disciples didn’t know the secret behind the legacy inheritance but Absolute Ancestor and Crimson Virtue did.

Everyone knew about the supreme grand dao capable of passing down power, grand dao, and memories. However, Li Qiye’s statement about flesh and blood was true.

Desolate Ancestor had warned First-gen Chen before. They listened due to her overwhelming strength.

Once she was gone, the branch changed and accelerated the process in secrecy. Everlasting Jiang and Wisdom Ancestor couldn’t interfere since this was a voluntary act for the most part.

Now, Absolute Ancestor knew Li Qiye wanted to flatten the branch to get rid of a potential disaster.

“Ancestor, you speak with murderous intent.” The voice stated.
