Chapter 573 - 573 I'm a Divine Weapon!
573 I’m a Divine Weapon!
Although Lin Qiye did not encounter any threats, a strange thing happened as soon as he arrived at the Heavenly God Palace. It made him feel uneasy.
The Zhao sisters’ words sounded to Lin Qiye as if they were hinting at something unfriendly to him.
‘No matter what the three High Gods are planning, I should be fine for the time being…’
Lin Qiye determined that his safety should not be a problem in the short term, so he began to recover his strength in peace.
Just as he was adjusting his breathing, he suddenly thought of Wan Meng.
“By the way, that girl has been hiding since she returned to the Heavenly God Palace. Does she know anything?”
Since Wan Meng acknowledged Lin Qiye as her master, she spent most of her time in Lin Qiye’s sea of consciousness.
This time, she had snuck into the depths of his sea of consciousness from the beginning. He wondered if that white-bearded elder had found her when he was spying on him.
“Wan Meng.” Lin Qiye called out in his sea of consciousness.
He did not find Wan Meng’s figure but heard her voice.
“Shh, Master, don’t contact me now. Otherwise, I’ll be beaten up again if that old man catches me.”
Wan Meng’s reaction puzzled Lin Qiye.
“Don’t worry. I’m not with them now. Why? Aren’t they good to you? Why are you still so afraid of them?”
Judging from what Wan Meng had told him about the Heavenly God Palace, the three High Gods of the Heavenly God Palace should have treated her very well.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have spent treasures comparable to the wealth of a peak Celestial Realm expert to forge a body of flesh and blood for Wan Meng.
“Ah, you don’t know. That geezer is usually quite good, but he will teach me a lesson every time I make a mistake. If he finds out I damaged my body when I went out, I’m afraid I’ll be locked up in the Star Pearl again!”
After knowing Lin Qiye was no longer with the three elders, Wan Meng revealed herself. However, her guilty look was a little funny.
Lin Qiye did not pay much attention to the Star Pearl Wan Meng was afraid of. He only thought it was something used to punish people.
Seeing Wan Meng appear, he asked, “When I met those three elders just now, did you notice anything unusual?”
Wan Meng had established a close connection with his spirit.
When he was unconscious, although Wan Meng shouldn’t have fainted together, she should have sensed it.
However, looking at Wan Meng’s current reaction, it was as if she did not know what had happened previously. Lin Qiye could not help but be puzzled.
“An abnormal situation? No. Could it be that the old man investigated your sea of consciousness?”
Wan Meng suddenly looked flustered.
On the way back, she heard from Zhao Yan that the three High Gods already knew she had acknowledged Lin Qiye as her master.
Since they wanted to meet Lin Qiye, they should also want to see her.
She did not show up, and Lin Qiye did not call her.
To find her, they would search Lin Qiye’s sea of consciousness.
Thinking of this, Wan Meng frowned and calmed down.
“That’s not right. Why didn’t I sense anything if he was investigating your sea of consciousness?”
Although Wan Meng had misunderstood Lin Qiye’s meaning, her answer made Lin Qiye heave a sigh of relief.
‘It seems something happened to the white-bearded elder when he used the secret technique. He didn’t discover all my secrets.’
Lin Qiye recalled what Zhao Yan had told him before. The three High Gods did not even brief him about the follow-up defense against the demons after meeting him. They immediately announced they were going into seclusion.
Such a hasty decision must be due to a major change.
‘Could there really be something special about me?’
Lin Qiye was confused.
He thought of many possibilities, but the most likely truth was that there was indeed something special about him. When the three elders were spying on the secret in his body, they discovered it.
Perhaps it was just as Zhao Yan had said. It stimulated their bottlenecks and made them feel they could break through to the Supreme Realm. That was why they chose to enter seclusion.
It was also possible that those three fellows had seized the special item on him and wanted to enter seclusion to study it.
The former was fine since it would not do Lin Qiye any harm.
However, Lin Qiye believed that the latter was more likely.
What the Zhao sisters said and the way they looked at him meant things were more complex.
After combing through all the possibilities, Lin Qiye finally concluded that the ruler of the Heavenly God Palace could not be trusted.
It did not mean that the members of the Heavenly God Palace were hypocritical and cunning. However, things concerned his life, and Lin Qiye could not afford to be careless.
Lin Qiye told Wan Meng about what happened between him and the three High Gods.
Because Wan Meng had already recognized him as her master, her loyalty to him was higher than anyone else in the world. He did not have to worry about her betraying him.
However, Lin Qiye did not expect that Wan Meng also felt the three High Gods were up to no good.
Lin Qiye couldn’t help but find this strange. Previously, he thought Wan Meng was afraid of the three High Gods because she was like a granddaughter who had made a mistake and was fearful of being taught a lesson by her grandfather.
But from the looks of it, that was not the case.
“Do you know something?” Lin Qiye asked Wan Meng.
“I don’t know either. It’s just a feeling. The old fellow is a monster that has lived for 100,000 years! All these years, he has been thinking of ways to advance to the Supreme Realm. Now that you can deal with the demons, it’s very likely that you will bring along the opportunity to break through!”
“As you said, if the old man finds out, won’t you be finished?”
Wan Meng mercilessly commented on the white-bearded elder.
“Looks like you’ve been beaten up by him a lot over the years.”
Lin Qiye had also thought of it. However, seeing that Wan Meng thinks of the three elders who had raised her for 100,000 years like this, he could not help but think about the problem.
“It’s not that I’m badmouthing him. You don’t understand him. A long time ago, to break through to the Supreme Realm, he tried his best to make me recognize him as my master. However, how could he do anything to me with his strength? I hid in my weapon body. He spent 10,000 years outside but couldn’t do anything to me!”
“Humph. He treats me well because he knows he can’t control me. That’s why he trapped me in the Heavenly God Palace and waited for the prophet to arrive.”
Wan Meng had never told Lin Qiye about these things before.
Initially, Lin Qiye thought the three elders were really doing this for Wan Meng’s good. Now, it seemed like that was not the case.
However, Wan Meng said those three High Gods couldn’t do anything to her. She was probably trying to maintain her reputation.
Otherwise, why would she be so afraid of them?
Moreover, when she was caught by him, she wanted to self-destruct. Clearly, it was impossible that the three High Gods could do nothing.
Lin Qiye smiled and did not expose Wan Meng.
However, his smile made Wan Meng explode like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
“You don’t believe me? I’m a divine weapon! Do you know what a divine weapon is? Come, take out my main body, and I’ll let you smash it! If you break it, I guarantee you won’t have to pay!”
Looking at Wan Meng’s angry expression, Lin Qiye could not help but laugh out loud.
