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

Chapter 1027: Chapter 306: Dao Master Leaves Name on the Book of Life and Death, Divine Pole Opportunity to Discern True and False Li Half-Saint [Requesting Monthly Ticket]

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

The fierce wind continually swept, making the falling snowflakes flutter like willow catkins drifting in the spring breeze.

Qianyuan Taoist City.

Qintian Observatory, the pagoda with dripping eaves and flying rafters.

Thick layers of white snow covered everything, piling up on the black tiles like an avalanche from a mountain peak, falling to the ground with a muffled thud.

On the tall building.

Inside the brazier, the high temperature glimmered with an extremely crimson glow, distorting the air.

The temperature inside the building rose sharply, and the speed of placing chess pieces on the board increased, gradually showing a posture of fierce battle.

Click.

A crystal-clear white piece fell on the chessboard.

”Checkmate.”

”Five pieces in harmony.”

Fat quivered on his face as Dao Master Yue Huanglong’s eyes squinted almost to invisibility with laughter. He stroked the small tuft of beard on his chin, his gaze landing on Supervisor Hong Shifu.

Hong Shifu stood up, his body trembling slightly, his hands gripping the edge of the chessboard, wishing to pick it up and smash it against Yue Huanglong’s face.

”You despicable fellow...”

”As insidious as ever, beneath that smiling face, you’re full of treachery.”

Hong Shifu sat back down, somewhat dissatisfied, messing up the chess pieces on the board.

He had studied the Five-Element Array Chess for so many days, yet was easily defeated by Yue Huanglong.

The main thing was being caught off guard, that old fatso tricked him!

Diverting his attention with the topic, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and pulling off a five-piece harmony!

No, it was a five-piece killer move!

”You had Yan Jing escort Su Leibao out of the Lingnan Circuit primarily to keep an eye on Su Leibao, didn’t you? Your actual target should be those other people of the Su Family... Are you coveting that Buddha Land secret technique of the Su Family?”

Supervisor Hong Shifu picked up a tea bowl, took a heroic gulp as if drinking wine.

A few tea leaves slipped into his mouth, and after chewing for a while, he swallowed them with the bitter taste.

Yue Huanglong’s chubby eyes squinted: ”Supervisor, you can mess up the chess, but you shouldn’t speak recklessly...”

”I only sent Grand Marshal Yan Jing to escort him out of consideration for the Third Prince... Yan Jing’s cultivation is extremely powerful, that Divinity Transformation True Martial... is likely nearing completion.”

”Once he’s cultivated the Divinity Transformation True Martial, he can carve out a Mountain Path in the vast Qi Sea, ascend the mountain road... thus attaining the qualification to reach the Absolute Peak.”

Yue Huanglong laughed.

”With such a powerful Grand Marshal protecting Su Leibao out of Lingnan... why would I target the Su Family? As for that Buddha Land secret technique... nonsense, I never meddle in such chaotic secret techniques.”

”It’s all the Underworld’s doing, nothing to do with me.”

Yue Huanglong lightly chuckled and shook his head.

With tea leaves in his mouth, Supervisor Hong Shifu laughed lightly.

”Heh heh...”

”Dao Master, be careful, truly... why would you provoke the Underworld?”

Hong Shifu glanced at Yue Huanglong.

He and Yue Huanglong had been transferred from the Divine Capital to Qianyuan Taoist City, sent by the Imperial Court specifically to confront Lv Taibai...

They were considered colleagues.

The Temple Control Bureau, under the command of Wang Kui, focused entirely on dealing with those Temple Guardian Cursed Corpses and evil things in the Mysterious Temple.

It was naturally uninterested in confronting the Divine Sect.

Moreover, Wang Kui had once roamed the martial world in his youth alongside Lv Taibai, even venturing into the Three Pure Ones’ Strange Que together.

Therefore, the Da Jing Dynasty didn’t have the Temple Control Bureau dispatch a Heavenly Gate Martial Saint to sit and guard.

Primarily because the Temple Control Bureau was indeed understaffed.

Feng Zhiqi... despite having extremely high Martial Arts Talent, was just a step away from the Absolute Peak Mountain Path...

But that step was ultimately extremely difficult to take.

And not reaching the Absolute Peak... didn’t even qualify one to confront Lv Taibai.

In truth, Hong Shifu didn’t want anything to happen to Yue Huanglong. If something happened to Yue Huanglong... he’d be left alone, truly unable to suppress Lv Taibai.

At that time, Lv Taibai, right under his nose... would do whatever he wished, and Hong Shifu, apart from feigning chess, could do nothing?

He could only choose to forgive him.

Letting out a soft sigh, Hong Shifu began to miss the days at the Capital Divine Heaven Bureau, back then... he didn’t have so many worries, the Great Supervising Minister took care of everything.

Even the Absolute Peak experts had to be respectful in front of the Great Supervising Minister.

What did he need to do?

He just had to accompany the Great Supervising Minister in playing chess every day, it was utterly delightful.

But now in Qianyuan Taoist City, Hong Shifu had not encountered a chess opponent as evenly matched as the Great Supervising Minister for a long time.

”Although I’m not sure what you all want to do... it’s best not to go too far, don’t truly enrage that killer star, I’m about to change shifts, could you all settle a bit.”

Hong Shifu sighed.

Dao Master Yue Huanglong seemed not to have heard, smiled, stood up, and clasped his hands in farewell.

Snowflakes drifted and fell.

Hong Shifu walked to the railing, watching the rotund, good-natured figure walking slowly in the snow.

He squinted his eyes.

”Provoking the Underworld...”

”Hopefully, it’s not playing with fire.”

...

...

Flakes of snow swept down from the sky.

Yue Huanglong, dressed in resplendent clothes, wide-bodied and corpulent, wore a kindly smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.

He knew a grand event was occurring at the Divine Carving Ridge, but he had no interest in going, even though Yue Weizheng had also entered the Mysterious Temple, trying to vie for the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod.

However, Yue Huanglong actually did not think highly of his own son.

Yue Weizheng’s talent was decent, but only just decent, Martial Saint Second Opening Realm was already Yue Weizheng’s limit.

Hoping to cultivate into Divinity Transformation True Martial, to find a Martial Arts Mountain Path in the vast Qi Sea, was basically impossible.
