Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 97

Liu Shunyi reverted to his original appearance.

Using the teleportation token given by Chen Qiaoli, he instantly returned to Qinglian Sect’s encampment.

Although it was just an encampment, Qinglian Sect’s influence and resources were substantial. Even their temporary quarters included constructed lodgings, palaces, disciple rooms, alchemy facilities, and cultivation spaces.

Rather than merely an encampment, it resembled a branch of the Qinglian Sect itself.

Liu Shunyi swiftly recalled his puppet avatar. Stretching lazily, he stepped out from his residence.

As soon as Liu Shunyi emerged through his door, he spotted someone:

Ji Suying, clad in red attire, with her sword cradled in her arms!

Upon seeing Liu Shunyi, Ji Suying smiled slightly. “Out of seclusion?”

Liu Shunyi nodded with a grin.

“Shouldn’t you ask me why I sought you out?” Ji Suying prompted.

Taken aback, Liu Shunyi hesitated before replying, “Would you rather tell me directly?”

Ji Suying shook her head. “No, you ask first!”

Liu Shunyi paused momentarily, then asked, “…Senior Sister, did you need something from your Junior Brother?”

Sighing softly, Ji Suying responded, “Remember our agreement? Once you reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, you would help me create a Forming Core Pill. Where is my pill?”

Without hesitation, Liu Shunyi produced a small box and handed it to Ji Suying.

She accepted the box with one hand, gently opened it enough to glimpse the dawnlight aura within, and promptly closed it again.

“Many thanks, Junior Brother!”

Liu Shunyi acknowledged with a nod.

Ji Suying turned to leave without further conversation with Liu Shunyi. However, she discreetly sent him a message:

“Recently, an organization called the Heaven Wrath Temple has been targeting certain individuals. Be cautious; these people are extremely dangerous. Although I’m not entirely sure if you’re among their targets.

“There’s also another group known as the Yama Palace. It’s unclear whether they are a new force or one that has long remained hidden. Their intentions are uncertain, so stay vigilant. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to venture outside.

“Elder Zhao Gou is quite capable. As long as you remain within the sect, those seeking trouble won’t dare to act recklessly against Qinglian Sect.”

Liu Shunyi paused momentarily before responding, “Alright, many thanks for the warning, Senior Sister.”

Ji Suying nodded affirmatively. “Yes, and by the way, it’s best if you don’t participate in the upcoming ancient secret realm expedition. It’s highly dangerous. Rest assured, I’ll take care of everything. With me around, you won’t lack cultivation resources; just focus on staying hidden.”

Liu Shunyi nodded seriously.

However, once Ji Suying left, Liu Shunyi reclined in his chair. Ensuring he was alone, he contacted Lin Wudao.

“What’s up, living Yama!” Lin Wudao asked.

Liu Shunyi promptly inquired, “Have you heard of the Heaven Wrath Temple?”

Lin Wudao nodded, “I have!”

“Given our current manpower, let’s send someone to investigate the Heaven Wrath Temple and also assess the significance of this Yanluo Palace while we’re at it.”

There was a prolonged silence from Lin Wudao’s side.

Liu Shunyi was puzzled.
“Signal lost?”

Lin Wu Dao’s voice came through again.

“Yama, give me some time; we’ve already uncovered initial leads about the Heaven Wrath Temple. Hmm, I’m quite busy at the moment, but once things settle down, I’ll provide you with a detailed update on the situation.”

Liu Shunyi didn’t mind this response.

“All right, then please send me information on how to breakthrough to Nascent Soul stage.”

“Sure!”

After ending the communication, Liu Shunyi suddenly felt a sense of leisure. He promptly began reviewing the materials on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage with utmost attention.

Indeed, Ji Suying’s sole purpose was to obtain that specific Medicine Pill.

Its value was immeasurable.

With this pill in hand,

she could execute her plan more effectively.

However, thoughts of Liu Shunyi still caused her concern.

The world had become chaotic,

so much so that Ji Suying found it increasingly difficult to comprehend.

Take Zhao Gou as an example.

In the previous life, he was merely a healer dedicated to aiding the world, with minimal combat prowess but astonishing medical skills.

Now, not only were his healing abilities formidable, but his killing methods have also become terrifyingly effective.

Qinglian Sect’s safety within the secret realm, to the point where no one dared to provoke them, was largely due to Zhao Gou’s efforts.

But precisely because this world had deviated significantly from her prior understanding, Ji Suying sought out Zhao Gou once again.

“Greetings, Elder Zhao Gou.”

Ji Suying showed deep respect towards him.

Zhao Gou hastily waved his hands in response.

“No need for such formality, Goddess Suying. At the Heavenly God Cult, I owe you greatly for shielding me from Tang Xiaoren’s attack; otherwise, I might not be here today.”

Ji Suying smiled gently.

“Elder Zhao Gou’s medical expertise is unparalleled. Even without my intervention, I believe you would have remained unharmed.”

Zhao Gou shook his head.

“Regardless of my skill, facing a Divine Transformation powerhouse, death remains inevitable.”

On this point, Zhao Gou was correct.

A Divine Transformation attack could instantly annihilate both body and soul, rendering any defenses futile.

Zhao Gou had dared to confront Tang Xiaoren only because he closely observed him throughout their encounter, noticing something amiss with his condition, which gave him the courage to act boldly.

Suddenly, Zhao Gou furrowed his brow.

If Liu Shunyi could extract someone’s divine soul and blood from miles away, couldn’t he also cause them to explode at that distance? Could it be that all along, the one manipulating him was Liu Shunyi?

Zhao Gou’s expression shifted, but ultimately, he found it hard to believe. During their time together, he felt that Liu Shunyi was genuinely straightforward with his allies; why would he betray Zhao Gou?

“Elder Zhao Gou?” Seeing Zhao Gou lost in thought, Ji Suying gently called out to him.

Zhao Gou snapped back to reality.

“Oh, apologies. I was just pondering some matters and got somewhat distracted. By the way, Goddess Suying, your visit surely isn’t just for casual conversation, is it?”

Ji Suying nodded.

“Indeed, there is something important I need to request of Elder Zhao Gou!”

Zhao Gou brightened.

“Goddess Suying, please feel free to speak. If there’s anything within my power to assist with, I won’t hesitate.”

Ji Suying smiled warmly.

“It’s like this – I want you to look after someone.”

Zhao Gou was taken aback.

“Look after someone?”

Ji Suying nodded.

“Yes, there’s a disciple I’ve taken interest in. However, their strength is quite low and they tend to be rather timid. This secret realm is exceptionally perilous, even before its opening, with numerous unknown enemies lurking outside.”

“So, I would like you to keep an eye on that disciple for me.”

Zhao Gou had no objections.

“No problem at all. Could you tell me which disciple it is?”

Ji Suying calmly replied,

“You might know him; he’s our Hidden Sword Peak’s Alchemist, named Liu Shunyi!”

“Pfft…”

Zhao Gou, who just took a sip of tea, abruptly spat it out.

“Hold on, did you say who? Liu Shunyi? Low strength and timid?” Zhao Gou hastily wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looking bewildered at Ji Suying.

Ji Suying furrowed her brow.

“What seems to be the issue?”

Zhao Gou quickly waved his hands.

“No, no, no issues at all. I’m just curious, how could someone with low strength become a Third Rank Alchemist?”

Ji Suying paused briefly. “Perhaps due to exceptional innate talent.”
