Chapter 1007 Invasion of the Other Tribes
"You exist because of hatred! From the moment you were born, you were destined to be lonely for the rest of your life. Hate molded you and will eventually destroy you." Ye Qiu said coldly.
Li Qi's eyes were red, as if he had already reached the critical point of eruption. He turned around angrily and looked at Ye Qiu, his murderous aura soaring.
Ye Qiu waited for a long time, but he still didn't attack.
"You're right." After a short calm, Li Qi unexpectedly calmed down and suppressed the murderous aura in his heart. He looked at Ye Qiu coldly and said, "I'm indeed driven by hatred. I've spent my life in hatred. The reason why I cultivate so desperately is... for revenge!"
At this point, his eyes revealed a trace of disappointment. He felt disappointed because he could not personally destroy the White Tiger Clan. Back then, when he heard the news of the White Tiger Clan's extermination, his entire body seemed to have been sucked dry.
For a moment, he did not know why he was living and cultivating. He fell into a state of confusion.
He fell into a daze for a long time, not knowing what he was going to do next. It was as if the high mountain he had worked hard to climb his entire life had suddenly collapsed and he had lost his goal.
However, he was equally happy in his heart because in his life, he could see the White Tiger Clan pay the price for their heartless move. His heart was very complicated, and he felt confused. From the moment Ye Qiu saw him, he could tell that there was no light in his eyes. He was like a walking corpse, following the steps every day and doing what he had repeated in the past.
Apart from these things, perhaps he had nothing else to do.
Thinking of this, he was in a daze again. He said in a daze, "I can't even figure out why I'm alive and why I came to this world. As the world was in chaos, time passed quickly. Many familiar and unfamiliar faces appeared and quickly disappeared, but I was just a spectator.
"It's a fleeting glance. Looking at my life, it's tragic. I hate this world, hate its ruthlessness, for making my childhood so miserable. But I also love it deeply. It protected me for countless days and nights, illuminating the loneliness in my heart when I was lonely and helpless."
This was the first time Li Qi had confessed his feelings to an outsider and truly said what he was thinking.
Ye Qiu could feel his loneliness, as if he had once seen that scene. Under the moonlight, the young white tiger cub lay alone in the silent forest. Only the moonlight and the flowers and trees on the mountain accompanied him.
He wanted to talk to someone, but he could only communicate with the tree, even if it could not speak.
Ye Qiu looked at him and admired him even more. This guy with complicated thoughts said that he hated this land, but in his heart, he loved this land deeply. Shaking his head, Ye Qiu said, "Everything has a spirit. Everyone has something they want to protect, either for faith or love. You love this land deeply, so you've been silently protecting it, even if no one knows. You're a warrior. I admire you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Qi's body trembled. He looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief. "What did you say? You admire me?"
This seemed to be the only praise he had heard in his life. Everyone in the world said that he was ominous and a great ferocious beast. They often avoided him. They talked about his background and spoke ill of him. They looked down on him and spat on him. He was an inferior-class creature.
However, today, he received recognition and praise for the first time, and this person came from the human youth in front of him.
Li Qi's heart was complicated. It was as if someone in his life had finally truly understood him. He was even more excited.
"Why not? Everything you do is worthy of my praise. You dare to speak up for injustice in life, dare to fight for the world, and dare to fight for this land.
"Although I've never stepped foot on this battlefield and don't know how terrifying that so-called foreign race is, I believe you must have put in a huge effort to protect this place for so many years. You're a hero! You're also a true warrior, not a lonely star or a puppet for killing."
Ye Qiu smiled. His words had opened up Li Qi's guard.
"Haha! Ridiculous, too ridiculous." Li Qi roared with laughter. All of this seemed to be a mockery. "I've worked my entire life to make those who deny me truly acknowledge me, but no matter how hard I try, I can't do it.
"However, I didn't expect that the person who really understood me today was someone I didn't know. What mockery."
After saying that, Li Qi pulled a long face. He was struggling in his heart, but he was helpless.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry that you will have no confidant in the future. Who in the world doesn't know you?"
"Eh... What do you mean? Kid, why are you being so genteel? I don't understand." Li Qi was stunned for a moment and immediately exposed his intelligence. He couldn't understand at all. He had grown up in the wilderness and had never studied. It was no wonder.
The corner of Ye Qiu's mouth twitched and he said, "You should study more."
While the two of them were chatting happily, outside the underground city, on the chaotic battlefield in the Gobi. A vast city wall surrounded ten thousand miles like a natural chasm, cutting off the impact of the turbid aura from the other side.
This was the ancient battlefield, the dividing line between the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and the foreign realm. The flames of war here were endless all year round. The living beings from the foreign land were ambitious.
On the other side, they were also a generation that had produced many storms. Their younger generation was all extraordinary and had the appearance of being chosen. However, all these years, because of Meng Tianzheng holding down the fort, they had never dared to mobilize their troops and launch a fierce attack.
It had always been a small fight. Let the geniuses on their side enter the ancient battlefield and compete with the heaven's choice of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to see who was the true heaven's choice.
This had almost formed a tacit understanding!
For some reason, dark clouds covered the sky outside Imperial Pass today. It was terrifyingly gloomy. There was a peaceful aura in the air, giving people the feeling that the country was safe and the weather was good.
"Something's wrong! Something's very wrong." On the Imperial Pass, an expert above the Dao Sacrificial realm watched every move on the other side coldly. When he saw the dark clouds above his head, he had an ominous feeling.
This was Imperial Pass. There were all kinds of powerful races and factions mixed in. It was the command center of the ancient battlefield on the side of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Today, this expert above the Dao Sacrificial realm was the Grand Elder of the Spirit Light Clan. This clan had a powerful ability to predict danger. When danger came, they could quickly sense a trace.
Looking at the cyclone on the other side, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Light Clan's heart sank and an extremely bold thought appeared.
"Not good! The foreign races are about to invade on a large scale. Quick, inform all the family clans in Imperial Pass to prepare for battle."
The sky seemed to have exploded. A top-notch warning signal was sent out, and the entire Imperial Pass was instantly in an uproar.
