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

Chapter 576: Chapter 206: Covert Protection from the Big Black Dog, A New Player Arrives in Dao City_4

Unfortunately, none of these Divine Weapons were of a style suitable for Li Che to use.

After taking stock of his gains,

Li Che suddenly saw a streak of flowing light flash before his eyes.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv4, 50%)]

Li Che looked at the slightly increased maturity of the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, feeling surprisingly calm.

...
Mainly because as his strength had grown, now that killing martial artists and cultivators of the same level would naturally contribute less to the maturity.

Li Che shook his head, his eyes twinkling.

It was just unclear if the Corpse God Cult and Hunting God Pavilion would be stubborn enough to continue sending experts his way on this journey.

He hoped that before reaching Dao City, the Corpse God Cult and Hunting God Pavilion wouldn’t help him increase the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit to level 5.

Li Che smiled.

Then, he grabbed a piece of the Ten Cities Tomb, and a Divine Weapon Dagger glided into the palm of his hand.

Inside the carriage, Li Che was simultaneously perceiving the conditions of the road ahead with the Heaven and Earth chessboard, and focused on carving wood carvings calmly.

…

…

The following days turned out to be unexpectedly monotonous and stable.

The Corpse God Cult was utterly dumbfounded, having mobilized the Six Ministries Corpse God Envoys from the neighboring three provinces and summoned over twenty Septenary Corpse God Envoys from various prefectures.

But in the end… they were wiped out in one fell swoop.

This directly stunned the messengers of the Corpse God Cult, leaving them no time to mobilize other experts to encircle and suppress the convoy.

As for the Hunting God Pavilion, aside from the five dead Golden-faced Killers, there were still quite a few Silver-faced Killers lurking along the path.

However, with even the five Golden-faced Killers failing, how could they dare to seek death?

Therefore, when the news of the deaths of the five Golden-faced Killers reached them, they retreated in complete disarray.

Thus, the convoy proceeded without ripples, with no more dangers looming.

The three Great Families of Golden Light Prefecture helped to connect with experienced merchants who traveled regularly between Dao City and Golden Light Prefecture.

So, the journey was taken care of by the merchant convoy, becoming surprisingly stable, without the slightest disturbance.

Everyone’s days began to settle into a routine.

Aside from travelling, Jiao Shaoqiu would also stop the convoy and arrange for the children to have about an hour’s worth of cultivation time each day.

This hour was dedicated to practicing Martial Arts and Martial Techniques, and so on.

As for Divinity, it was cultivated inside the carriages while on the road.

Jiao Shaoqiu also specifically provided the children with Divinity Crystals.

One must not delay cultivation just because of travel.

The first time they stopped to rest the horses, Xi Xi jumped off the carriage and surprisingly pulled Tie Shancai along for a little run.

This made Li Che, who had always kept an eye on Tie Shancai, frown.

When he saw that Tie Shancai was actually willing to be Xi Xi’s target, letting her shoot at him with a pink Fire God Gatling until fireworks exploded,

Li Che was speechless.

Tie Shancai knew how to feed into it, almost running straight into the Avalanche Cross Ravens shot out by Xi Xi.

Even though Xi Xi used the smallest possible Avalanche Cross Ravens,

being hit by them was still painful.

Tie Shancai didn’t take it seriously at first, but after a while of being bombarded, he seemed to get addicted.

He let Xi Xi bomb him continuously.

He didn’t even waste the flames from the explosions, swallowing them all into his stomach.

In the following days, Xi Xi would always set off fireworks with Tie Shancai.

For a time, Gong Yuanliang, Gong Yang Xiu, and others felt wronged and a strong sense of crisis overwhelmed them.

It was as if they had fallen out of favor.

Late at night.

The wind and snow whined.

Jiao Shaoqiu, leaning on a crutch, was surrounded by people sitting around a campfire, which was the Samadhi Fire spat out by Tie Shancai, capable of real-time temperature adjustment.

“There are far too many forces within Dao City compared to Golden Light Prefecture City… Lingnan Daoist City has been established for thousands of years, and there are many thousand-year-old families within the city.”

“Like Yun E, who comes from the Yun Family of Dao City, the Yun Family has a history of three thousand years in Lingnan, and a Divine Fetus Great God has emerged from the family.”

Jiao Shaoqiu, holding Xi Xi and rubbing her head as she played with the campfire beside him, introduced to everyone with a smile.

Li Che, dressed in Mo Shan, with Zhang Ya holding his arm, her head resting on Li Che’s shoulder, was also listening to Elder Jiao’s stories about Dao City.

“Elder Jiao, are there Divine Fetus Great Gods guarding all these thousand-year-old families in Dao City?”

Li Che asked.

Jiao Shaoqiu glanced at Li Che and shook his head, “It’s hard to say… These Great Families have profound foundations, and we really don’t know whether there are Divine Fetus Great Gods guarding them or not.”

“The Great Families also aren’t clear about each other. Divine Fetus Great Gods rarely make a move, so the clashes between the Great Families mainly depend on the collisions between the Supreme Grandmasters with Three Flowers Atop and the Great True Men in the Fetal Breath Transformation.”

The rustling sound amidst the campfire suddenly echoed, as if filled with uncertainty.

“Dao City… the Divine Fetus Great Gods who are visibly present are only a few.”

“In my Qian Yuan Divine Sect, there are three Divine Fetus Great Gods, among which the Sect Master is a top-level powerhouse renowned throughout the Great Vista.”

“Other than that, Dao City Mansion, the Temple Control Bureau, and the Qintian Observatory each possess someone in the Divine Embryo Realm. Furthermore, the leading family in Dao City, the Su Family, also boasts a Divine Embryo Ancestor.”

“As for other forces, perhaps there are Divine Embryos at the helm, but they have not shown themselves.”

“Maybe there are, but it’s unknown to us. The Sect Master knows, but he does not share with us.”

Elder Jiao’s expression became solemn.

He breathed out.

“The whole Dao City… is actually a Chessboard, and only various Divine Fetus Great Gods have the qualification to place pieces on the Chessboard, and only by achieving the Divine Embryo can one jump out of it.”

Elder Jiao said somberly, not caring whether the people understood or not, as if he was venting his own inner emotions.

Wang Kuyu, Lu Yao, and others sat quietly, also falling into silence.
