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

Chapter 580: Chapter 207: Newly Arrived and Bombarding Dao City, Here They Come, the Underworld is Coming!_3

“`

Hoo-hoo-hoo——!!

“`

The strong wind howled, creating a wild gust on the official road!

“`

Yet in the high sky above, a figure entwined with Qi-Blood like swirling silk, rapidly diving down, his speed so fast that there was vaguely a connection of the Qi mechanism of heaven and earth with him, forming a unique reciprocity.

...
“`

As the figure descended, the invisible air currents spread out and slowly dissipated without a trace.

“`

Jiao Shaoqiu stood with his hands behind his back, bearing a solemnity on his withered, old-wood-like face.

“`

“The Inner Sect True Successor Top Ten, ranked eighth, Wei He…”

“`

Jiao Shaoqiu’s gaze fell on the burly figure standing at the forefront.

“`

But the person in sight had a burly stature, dressed in a deep blue robe, with robust muscles all exposed.

“`

“Elder Jiao.”

“`

Jiao Shaoqiu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping onto Wei He: “You seem to be a true disciple under Elder Ji, aren’t you?”

“`

Wei He clenched his fists and with a smile said: “Indeed, I am a true disciple under the Fourth Elder, ordered to come to welcome the junior sister into Dao City.”

“`

Curious heads popped out from the surrounding carriages to watch.

“`

However, as the words fell.

“`

An extreme sharpness erupted from Jiao Shaoqiu’s eyes.

“`

Even alone against an Innate Great Grandmaster, he showed neither retreat nor diminished bravery.

“`

“Junior sister? Who allowed you to call her junior sister?!”

“`

Boom!

“`

A powerful Primordial Spirit suddenly rose behind Jiao Shaoqiu, a brilliant Golden Light blooming, dazzling and eye-catching.

“`

Faintly, there seemed to be signs of returning to the previous Golden Body Transformation, as the mighty Divine Majesty crashed down.

“`

Nie Yang also landed beside Jiao Shaoqiu, getting ready to unsheathe his sword.

“`

Countless brilliant sword lights burst forth behind him.

“`

The atmosphere turned deadly in a blink.

“`

From the moment the opposing side unscrupulously released the scorching-like-sun Martial Dao Will of an Innate Great Grandmaster.

“`

Nie Yang felt ill intentions from the visitor.

“`

Besides the carriage.

“`

Li Che’s gaze also fell upon Wei He, tranquil and emotionless.

“`

Junior sister?

“`

Is this the trend to recruit Xi Xi into their fold in advance?

“`

But…

“`

Xi Xi didn’t come to Dao City to become a disciple under an Elder.

“`

Instead, she came to prepare for the assessment to be the last direct disciple of the Sect Master.

“`

Now, suddenly someone pops out and directly designates Xi Xi as their junior sister, there really is a flavor of coercion and forcefulness in this.

“`

Li Che’s gaze settled on Wei He.

“`

An Innate Great Grandmaster in the Realm of Unity of Heaven and Man!

“`

But compared to the Corpse God Will at the Sixth Rank Middle Stage, the oppressive sensation given to Li Che by the Corpse God Will is clearly much stronger, more thrilling, and terrifying.

“`

Through the perspective of the Heaven and Earth chessboard, Wei He did not seem to possess any murderous intent or malice.

“`

But one could glimpse that the intensity of his Qi-Blood far exceeded that of an ordinary Master of Divine Gang, not even in the same league.

“`

Despite the tense and deadly atmosphere, it did not cause Wei He to change his expression.

“`

“Elder Jiao… My teacher, Elder Ji of the Authentic Divine Sect, is the Fourth Elder. Hearing that Golden Light Prefecture has brought forth a Divine Child with a high Temple God Resonance, even obtaining seventy percent of the Temple God’s Divinity, he couldn’t help but be eager to recruit her as a disciple.”

“`

“Does Elder Jiao not wish to be happy for others?”

“`

Wei He spoke tranquilly.

“`

“What does Ji Heshan really want? Am I supposed to be unaware? Xi Xi’s trip to Dao City is aimed at becoming the Sect Master’s direct disciple, and won’t become an apprentice before the Sect Master’s disciple assessment is over,” retorted Jiao Shaoqiu coldly.

“`

Wei He clasped his fists: “Elder Jiao… becoming a direct disciple of the Sect Master isn’t so easy; the competition is too intense. People from the Divine Capital, descendants of ancient families from various Dao Cities, and the three major thousand-year-old families native to Lingnan Taoist City, along with those large and small noble families, are competing… even princes are vying…”

“`

“Do you think that this Divine Child from Golden Light Prefecture can prevail over those other Divine Children, each with at least a thousand threads of Divine Purple Smoke?”

“`

Jiao Shaoqiu waved his sleeve, his face cold: “Who would know there are no miracles without trying?”

“`

“In the Temple God Resonance of Golden Light Prefecture, Xi Xi was extraordinary, suppressing many Divine Children, even surpassing Ji Haihui, the son of the King of Quelling Chaos Ji Molie, and Tie Shancai, the son of a Commandery Princess from the Divine Capital…”

“`

“What makes you think Xi Xi has no chance or hope?”

“`

Jiao Shaoqiu was not pleased; these people wanted to intercept Xi Xi, the Divine Child, ahead of time—how could he tolerate it?

“`

Xi Xi was the one he had brought back; he had to be responsible for Xi Xi’s future.

“`

“What’s more, the sort of person Ji Heshan is, don’t you understand? He has hundreds if not thousands of disciples under his command. He’s notorious for recruiting disciples and casting a wide net… Entrusting Xi Xi to him would be ruining the child!”

“`

Jiao Shaoqiu had a nasty temper, perhaps because of his seniority.

“`

Such outspoken criticism made Wei He look a bit embarrassed, since after all, he was a fish that leaped out of that wide net.

“`

“Elder Jiao, don’t be anxious yet, this matter… should still ask the Divine Child’s parents,” said Wei He.

“`

And the argument between the two had already attracted quite a few gazes from inside the carriage.

“`

Li Che stepped out of the carriage, his dark robe fluttering in the wind, a gentle smile on his face, walking over.

“`

“This is Xi Xi’s father, Li Che.”

“`

“You ask,” said Jiao Shaoqiu, though not rejecting Wei He’s suggestion.

“`

However, before Wei He could speak, Li Che shook his head: “Elder Jiao says my Xi Xi is very talented, and I believe so too.”

“`

“If that’s the case, then let’s follow Elder Jiao’s advice. I appreciate Elder Ji’s kindness, but Xi Xi still wants to give it a try.”

“`

Li Che said amicably.

“`

Wei He’s eyes lowered, looking at the unassuming young man before him, his brow furrowing: “Have you considered… If you fail in the assessment to become the Sect Master’s direct disciple, if you perform poorly, you might even lose the chance to become a disciple of an Inner Sect Elder.”
