As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 429: Chapter 173: When the Honest Father Begins to Get Angry, Stripping the Young Prince to Face Fear_3

The figure wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, somehow, had blocked the way at the door.

“Stop.”

“Mission failed, reporting.”

The figure exhaled, speaking in a deep voice.

This was Hunting God Pavilion’s first mission, and it ended in complete failure, neither Li Che nor his spouse was killed, and both assassins lost contact.

The color of the face under the bamboo hat and straw raincoat changed slightly.

He moved aside, letting the person step inside the small building.

The figure closed the umbrella upon entering, shook off the rain, placed the oiled paper umbrella to one side, dusted off the moisture from himself, and walked towards the warmly spring-like interior of the building.

A moment later, he arrived in front of a closed door and knocked.

Upon entering, it was a completely different world.

Behind the small door was an extremely vast secret area that encapsulated heaven and earth within it.

Various mechanisms were set up, and many masked personnel were organizing information sent back by scouts from the Hunting God Pavilion’s divisions in Golden Light Prefecture City, classifying the information methodically.

Hunting God Pavilion not only undertook assassination missions but was also a premier intelligence power in the world where one could purchase information.

The visitor bowed and approached a desk.

A figure wearing a golden mask was sifting through documents, compiling information.

“Pavilion Master, the mission failed, and our two assassins from Hunting God Pavilion have completely lost contact, most likely they are dead,” said the visitor solemnly, clasping his hands together.

He was responsible for contact with the assassins, and would know immediately if the two assassins died.

“Li Che… Mysterious Vein cultivation, Nurturing Nature reached Primary Divine Base Realm… The cultivation intelligence was correct, then why did our assassins… die?”

“Experienced assassins first used Divine Crystal Powder to limit Li Che’s Divine Base Cultivation and then attempted assassination with overwhelming Grandmaster Middle Boundary cultivation…”

“I cannot think of a reason for the assassination to fail, unless… Li Che hid his cultivation.”

The figure in the golden mask tapped his finger lightly,

“A bad start indeed.”

The golden mask shook his head, “False intelligence kills… The importance of intelligence is self-evident.”

“Accelerate the spread of the Hunting God Pavilion’s intelligence network in Golden Light Prefecture City.”

“Yes.”

“Also, contact the Young Prince Ji Haihui, tell him… the price for killing the Li Che couple has to triple.”

“If they don’t raise the price, Hunting God Pavilion will withdraw.”

“Yes.”

The figure bowed and retreated.

Slowly disappearing among the bustling crowd.

The finger of the golden mask tapped lightly again, and two black jade pendants shattered, signifying the death of two Hunting God Pavilion Nine Luminaries Assassins.

The assassins of Hunting God Pavilion were carefully cultivated, investing resources heavily.

The death of each assassin represented a loss for Hunting God Pavilion.

“Couldn’t even activate the minor Teleportation Technique?”

“It seems a great secret was discovered.”

…

…

Li Che walked amidst the torrential rain.

He wore a bamboo hat, his entire presence concealed as if he had disappeared from the human world.

Walking in the darkness, bathed in the rain.

The rain curtain automatically parted around him.

Li Che’s heart was pulsing continuously, dense murderous intent spreading like thick ink in the rain.

“Hunting God Pavilion…”

Li Che’s eyes were icy cold.

Although the other party was merely completing a job for money… Li Che was still very displeased.

Family was Li Che’s inverse scale.

Had they targeted just him, Li Che, he would not be so angered and outraged, but Hunting God Pavilion had aimed at Zhang Ya…

That ignited the fiery wrath in Li Che’s heart completely.

With a step down, Li Che’s figure leapt onto the roof of an ornately decorated octagonal pavilion.

Standing on the roof, Li Che drove the Slumbering Dragon Elephant of the Dragon Elephant Vajra to its pinnacle.

A level 4 Dao Fruit would enhance all abilities.

The Slumbering Dragon Elephant’s Breath Concealment ability also climbed many levels.

At this moment, Li Che was almost invisible.

“Hunting God Pavilion, Young Prince Ji Haihui…”

Li Che closed his eyes.

The familiar sense of crisis enveloped him like a storm, as intense as the massive crisis he had sensed in Fei Lei City, a deep-seated unease and panic echoing in his bones.

He thought of his small family, facing a terrifying iceberg, then being shattered into pieces, smashed into fragments.

Xi Xi dying horribly, Zhang Ya dying horribly… He too would die horribly…

A beautiful and happy family, torn apart.

Li Che raised his head, rainwater sliding off the edges of the Cute Bull Mask, merging into the rain, splashing on the black eaves, shattering into pieces.

Raising his hand, he fiercely pointed at the spot between his eyebrows.

In that instant, the Chess Saint Dao Fruit within his chest throbbed violently and abruptly.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard, with Li Che’s location at its center, crisscrossed and sketched out, descending.

Master Go-chess Saint… re-entering the martial world.

Powerful Divine Sense swept out like a storm.

Every person or thing within the city became clear and distinct within his perception.

In the teahouse below, the movements of the beautiful teahouse girl froze as she made tea.

The storyteller, whose words flowed like a river, had his saliva suspended in mid-air.

The vendor who had set up a stall on the street, collecting the leaking rainwater in a wooden basin to throw out, the water curtain mingled with distinctly separated droplets hanging in mid-air.

Everything seemed to slow down within Li Che’s Chess Saint perception.

Suddenly.

Li Che opened his eyes.

Rain droplets exploded, the white mist still remaining in place, while the toweringly huge Bull Demon, like a hawk-eagle, had already swooped out.

…

…

Hunting God Pavilion’s assassins were different from the Corpse God Cult.

Li Che possessed the refined Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Mother-Child Seal, able to detect the experts of the Corpse God Cult through Death Qi and Corpse Qi.

However, the assassins of Hunting God Pavilion were adept at disguising, having no Death Qi or Corpse Qi for exposure.

Thus, for Li Che to pick out the assassins from Hunting God Pavilion from the vast sea of people was extremely difficult, incredibly difficult.
