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

Chapter 913: Chapter 281: Qingshan Remains, the Beauty Has Aged, A Harsh Welcome from the Underworld_5

“The Corpse God Cult… They have come prepared this time, their purpose is very clear.”

“Perhaps they are brewing some grand plan. Before their plans erupt, it will be very difficult for us to find their hidden masters.”

Li Che shook his head.

Now, within Qianyuan Daoist City, the evil people of the Corpse God Cult have almost disappeared completely.

It’s likely because they’ve received information about being hunted from the Underworld, so they’ve all retreated.

Suddenly.

Li Che thought of something, his gaze flickered slightly.

A flick of his finger.

A piercing Dragon’s Chant exploded between heaven and earth. A azure Bone Armor Divine Dragon soared and twisted through the skies, finally transforming into the form of the Dragon Maiden, who gracefully descended before Li Che.

She gave a slight bow and surveyed her surroundings, failing to see You Liqing, and with a hint of regret and disappointment.

“Greetings, my Lord,” the Dragon Maiden said.

“When I killed you back then… You summoned masters from the Corpse God Cult to assist. Do you have a connection with the Corpse God Cult?”

Li Che’s eyes under the black cloak stared at the Dragon Maiden and asked.

“Yes, my Lord. Subordinate came from Jizhou. Ji Moli has been feigning confrontation with the Corpse God in Jizhou just to put on a show for the Imperial Court.”

“The relationship between Ji Moli and the Corpse God Cult… is quite complicated.”

The Dragon Maiden spoke.

Her words struck like thunderbolts, causing Li Che’s eyes to narrow slightly.

“Actually… they maintain a collaborative relationship, but the specifics of it, I am unsure. You already know… I hold little significance in Ji Moli’s eyes.”

The Dragon Maiden spread her hands, a touch of grievance and helplessness flashing across her exquisite countenance.

Li Che was speechless within.

You’ve already made King Ping Luan a laughing stock; what else do you wish to accomplish?

“Can you still contact the hidden Corpse God Cult masters near Qianyuan Daoist City now?”

Li Che squinted slightly and asked.

Upon hearing the question, the Dragon Maiden pondered briefly before replying: “I can give it a try…”

Then, her shimmering azure eyes eagerly cast a glance at Li Che.

“My Lord…”

“My Qiankun Jade.”

“The token used to contact the Corpse God Cult… is inside the Qiankun Jade.”

…

…

Qianyuan Daoist City.

Thunder Alley.

A secluded courtyard within an independent workshop.

Lead-colored clouds piled high above the sky, and spring rain like oil scattered down, pattering relentlessly across the Heavenly Dome.

As temperatures rose, the rain turned soft and warm, no longer holding the bone-chilling cold of early spring.

“Hoo—”

“Haa—”

Thunder rolled like a beast stampeding, Qi-Blood surged violently.

In a split second, Li Che’s eyes shone bright, his jet-black hair whipping wildly amidst the night winds. Vast Qi-Blood and Gang Wind erupted from his pores, dispersing the cascading raindrops into fine rain powder that bounced against the Heavenly Dome!

Li Che’s spine quivered, producing a sound akin to grinding metal. His arms rippled like waves, long fists punching, distorting and tearing through the air like a mighty eagle soaring skyward!

Divine Seed Martial Arts, Nine Heavens Mysterious Eagle Splitting Sky Fist!

A martial arts technique mastered by Su Wenxi!

A martial arts pill entered his stomach, crushed by the strong gastric walls, instantly releasing immense power that surged violently.

Unsure of how much time had passed.

Li Che gradually stopped his movements.

Though his combat power now stood above most, enough to go head-to-head against a One-Open Martial Saint.

Li Che had never once stopped his cultivation efforts.

While Xi Xi had joined Lv Taibai, the Divine Sect Master, thus gaining safety and protection, Li Che dared not let down his guard.

The immense pressure from Ji Moli left Li Che unable to relax even slightly. Lv Taibai ranked lower than Ji Moli on both the Great God List and at Heavenly Gate Pass.

Li Che naturally did not want to place all his hopes for Xi Xi’s safety on Lv Taibai’s shoulders alone.

Sometimes, strength within oneself is the greatest source of confidence and assurance.

The air rolled turbulently within the courtyard.

Sounds akin to whiplashes rang out from time to time.

Opening his eyes.

Li Che looked toward the doorway. There, a masked figure wearing a cat face leaped in stealthily, moving through the warm spring rain.

“Bull Demon… I’ve finally managed to uncover the bounty list from the Hunting God Pavilion.”

The cat-faced man hunched his back, taking slow steps forward through the drizzle.

“Since Xi Xi became the Divine Sect Young Sect Master, she went from not even appearing on the bounty list to reaching third place… in just half a month.”

Cat-faced Li Qingshan couldn’t help but say.

Sitting cross-legged under the eaves, his black robe billowing and blood-red Qi swirling around him, Li Che slowly opened his eyes.

“Third…”

“Well done, Hunting God Pavilion…”

Li Che exhaled softly, his breath sharp as a blade, slicing through the air.

“Xi Xi is still just a child…”

“And the Hunting God Pavilion wants her dead so badly?”

“Truly despicable…”

Gradually, Li Che’s icy eyes became flooded with coldness and bloodlust.

“I want to see which assassins from the Hunting God Pavilion accepted this bounty.”

Li Che stood, his muscles abruptly swelling, twisting like forged iron, growing to a size almost demonic, while a terrifying aura poured out like an abyss. Murderous intent surged like raging waves!

“The Underworld shall deliver a brutal…”

“Welcome to them.”
