"My lord, do you have any more questions? I'll tell you everything I know."
The man in black spoke softly, looking at Li Xiaotian with trepidation and a humble attitude.
Li Xiaotian did not respond to him. Instead, he looked at Qinglin, who had arrived a long time ago and was behind him.
Her emotional state had changed rapidly, showing no trace of sadness. She still had the same cold expression towards everyone, just as before.
Qinglin remained silent, but her gaze towards the man in black was filled with killing intent. Her intention was obvious; she wanted to kill him.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the Ancient God Tribe to be so powerful. No wonder you weren't optimistic about me before."
Li Xiaotian's tone was teasing, and he seemed oblivious to Qinglin's desire to kill the man in black.
Hearing Li Xiaotian's words, Qinglin looked at him and said in a flat tone.
"This is the truth. You cannot defeat the Ancient God Tribe. You might think you have astonishing talent, that you are already a top-tier expert at such a young age, and that you might even become an ultimate expert in the future. But I tell you, in the face of absolute power, no matter how monstrous your talent is, it will be useless. Opposing the Ancient God Tribe will only lead to your despair."
Li Xiaotian raised an eyebrow and scoffed. He ignored her. He hadn't gotten to where he was purely on talent. Back when the world underwent great changes, Emperor-level martial artists were already strong in his eyes, and he was only at the King level back then.
The Heavenly Clan was powerful, right? They had forced him to flee. And the Desolate Hall, a hegemonic force, seemed like a colossal entity in his eyes back then.
But did he fear them? Did he back down?
No!
And now, he admitted that the Ancient God Tribe was more powerful than any opposing force he had encountered before. But so what?
To make him bow down without even a real fight? Hmph, that was impossible!
Moreover, in the worst-case scenario, he could always go into hiding again and accumulate strength in secret.
"If you have nothing else, please excuse yourself. It's not for you to say whether the Ancient God Tribe will make me despair. Besides, hehe, the Ancient God Tribe that you consider invincible seems to offer you little assistance. Instead, you need me, someone you look down on, to help you get revenge."
Li Xiaotian's tone was mocking, and his eyes held a hint of coldness. He disliked this woman, but she maintained a precise control over her words. Although her words were unpleasant, she never provoked him, making it difficult for him to teach her a lesson.
Of course, there was another reason: he needed to keep her around. Perhaps she would be useful in the future. After all, she was somewhat of a nail he had planted within the Ancient God Tribe, and she might prove crucial at a critical moment.
"You!"
Qinglin opened her mouth, a hint of anger in her expression, but she eventually held back, feeling a pang of discomfort.
Li Xiaotian's words were sharp. The Ancient God Tribe was indeed powerful, but Qinglin had once asked Gu Qiankun for help with her revenge, only to be refused.
Furthermore, this time, when she went to seek revenge on the Black Robe Alliance alone, the Ancient God Tribe not only did not help but also advised her to put aside her revenge for the time being and await the tribe's orders to participate in hunting down Li Xiaotian.
A hint of self-mockery flashed across Qinglin's face. Just as Li Xiaotian said, this time he had helped her. Otherwise, if she had encountered the man in black alone, she would not have been a match for him.
"The information he just provided is only what the Ancient God Tribe wants the outside world to know. If you take it at face value, you will suffer a great loss." Da Feng Fiction Network
Qinglin suddenly spoke, as if she had come to a realization.
"Oh? You're willing to tell me the real intelligence of the Ancient God Tribe?"
Li Xiaotian's brow furrowed in surprise. She had been stubborn before, refusing to say anything, but why had her attitude changed so suddenly?
"The Divine Lord's strength is unfathomable. He lowered his own realm, though I don't know the reason. He also possesses a top-grade Heavenly artifact, but no one has ever forced him to use his weapon."
Qinglin said unhurriedly.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed with sharpness. A shock ran through him, and his expression turned grim. He had already made a high estimation of Gu Qiankun's strength, but he never expected him to be so secretive.
A top-grade Heavenly artifact could completely change the course of a battle in an instant.
If he were to fight the Divine Lord and the latter suddenly used a top-grade Heavenly artifact, he would likely be doomed.
"In addition to that, Gu Chen's elder brother, Gu Tian, is an early-stage Heavenly realm expert. He dotes on Gu Chen very much. If Gu Tian awakens in the future and learns that you killed Gu Chen, even if you manage to escape this time, the eventual outcome will likely be the same."
Qinglin continued, her expression calm, but every word she spoke caused turmoil in Li Xiaotian's heart.
Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. Good heavens, besides Elder Wuyun, he had confirmed another Heavenly realm enemy.
Fortunately, Heavenly realm experts could not emerge for a while, so he still had time to prepare.
Li Xiaotian looked at Qinglin with anticipation. Her last two statements were like trump cards, far more valuable than the information provided by the man in black.
A trace of struggle flickered in Qinglin's eyes, but she eventually calmed herself and continued.
"And my master, the Great Shaman of the Ancient God Tribe. Although he is also a top-tier overlord, he cannot leave the Ancient God Tribe. He usually only leaves through his clone, and the clone's strength is at the late overlord stage."
Li Xiaotian smiled. Three sentences, three crucial pieces of information. They had helped him greatly.
At the very least, his plan targeting the Ancient God Tribe needed a major overhaul.
"The rest is more or less what you already know. I've never seen the hidden expert of the Ancient God Tribe, but I can confirm that he is also a body cultivator."
Qinglin said, letting out a sigh of relief. This information was a top secret of the Ancient God Tribe, and if they found out she had exposed it, she would surely die.
However, despite knowing the consequences, for some reason, she had still told Li Xiaotian. Perhaps Li Xiaotian's words had touched her.
"Thank you."
Li Xiaotian said with a smile. This was enough.
Meanwhile, the man in black from the Black Robe Alliance remained silent, but his expression kept changing, from fearful to excited. He had learned the great secrets of the Ancient God Tribe.
He believed that whichever force he told these three sentences to would reward him handsomely.
Of course, that was assuming he could survive.
As he was thinking, the man in black suddenly felt a strong gaze fixed upon him. He instinctively looked up.
He saw the Golden Body expert looking at him with a smile.
"My lord, what are your instructions?"
The man in black spoke quickly, his heart filled with unease.
"No instructions, just letting you know that you are no longer useful."
Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
"What??? No!!!"
The man in black was stunned for a moment, but then his face changed dramatically, and he let out a cry.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Li Xiaotian directly struck the man in black's head with his palm, instantly killing him.
Immediately after, Li Xiaotian extracted the Ancient God's blood from the man in black's body. He then looked at Qinglin and said kindly.
"You should leave now. Don't worry, I will keep the information you told me strictly confidential."
Qinglin's eyes flickered, but she remained silent and turned to leave.
"To enhance the Ancient God Body, it's not necessarily required to use Ancient God's blood. If you have time, you can try visiting the other four regions of the Battle Domain."
Li Xiaotian looked back at Qinglin's disappearing figure and smiled as her voice echoed in his ears. It seemed this trip had been quite fruitful.
