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

Chapter 1196: Chapter 340: Taibai’s Sword Presses Six Sects to Bow, State Preceptor Seeks to Unmask the Rascal’s True Form [Monthly Ticket Requested]

As a Martial Saint expert, he naturally sensed the dominant move of Lv Taibai heading towards the Little Lingyin Institute!

Even though many top-level peaks isolate their aura and investigation, there’s still something to be sensed.

Taibai’s Sword, suppressing the Sect Masters of the Six Great Divine Sects!

Lower your brows!

So domineering!

Lv Taibai smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Xi Xi.

He briefly explained the bet with Grandmaster Huang Mei, instantly causing the entire courtyard of children to breathe rapidly.

Xi Xi’s eyes seemed to ignite with flames.

“Xi Xi, are you confident?” Lv Taibai asked gently.

“Master, Xi Xi is confident!”

Xi Xi raised her head, eyes resolute.

“There’s no need to be so tense. Just treat it as something you need to strive for. Even if you fail, the fact that you tried is already enough.”

Lv Taibai gently ruffled Xi Xi’s head, comforting her, not wanting to put too much pressure on her.

She’s just a six-year-old girl, experiencing the effort needed for something is sufficient enough.

Lv Taibai raised his head and looked at Li Che.

“No worries, leave it to us, father and daughter.”

Li Che smiled faintly, words calm and even.

It’s as if he has always been that honest and straightforward Qianyuan Divine Sect’s Fifth Elder of Divine Sculpture Ridge, Li Half-Saint.

Lv Taibai laughed: “You just broke through to the Divine Fetus stage, can you hold steady?”

Implying whether Li Che’s divine cultivation is enough to rely on?

If he reveals his martial cultivation, there’s a potential risk of exposure.

In the current Divine Capital, if Li Che’s identity as the Underworld Divine Monkey is exposed, the impact would be too significant…

Too many eyes are watching that Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod.

Originally, the Da Jing Dynasty had intended to wait for the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod to emerge, see whose hands it falls into, and then seize it with thunderous force.

It didn’t matter if it fell into the Qian Yuan Divine Sect or the Little Lingyin Temple, or any other Divine Sect…

As long as the target was identified, the Da Jing Dynasty might choose to act openly.

Instead…

The Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod did emerge, but… it was taken by the elusive Underworld, whose whereabouts are still unknown to this day.

In other words, the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod… vanished!

Lv Taibai is well aware of the impact tied to the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod with the heritage of the Equal Heaven Temple.

Because, the Great Supervising Minister once predicted the first half of the true words of the augury: The Divine Rod emerges, Heavenly Movement happens.

And the true words of the augury have a second half…

Lv Taibai doesn’t know what the second half is.

But knows that the second half… seems to be very taboo.

Therefore, Lv Taibai is inquiring Li Che whether it’s truly safe to reveal the Divine Monkey identity, if abandoning the bet this time isn’t that much of a loss.

“Rest assured, Sect Master.”

Li Che picked up Xi Xi, folding his five fingers, lifting his hand.

Xi Xi, seeing this, immediately understood and clapped her little hand upon Li Che’s large palm.

A crisp “Clap” sound!

“Father and daughter unite, their strength cuts through gold!”

Xi Xi said loudly.

Then giggled, these are the words Li Che usually tells Xi Xi while playing with her.

This time saying it, however, it gave Xi Xi a particularly fitting sense.

Fighting together with dad!

Strifting together with dad!

Xi Xi only felt a burning flame within her!

Such a good line of father and daughter uniting!

Lv Taibai, hearing this, silver hair flying, also looked up and laughed.

…

…

Lv Taibai, Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, sword qi ascended to the skies, calling out to the State Preceptor in the Upper Three Cities of the Divine Capital.

This news spread like a storm across the Nine Cities of the Divine Capital.

Even more shocking was the bet Lv Taibai made with the Sect Masters of the Six Great Divine Sects.

One Three Lifetimes Body, one Four Imperial Heavenly Pill, one Four Royal Divine Weapon, one Holy Confucian True Relic…

Any of these stakes alone would be enough to cause a massive earthquake, making numerous Jianghu practitioners fight to death over it!

This was indeed a gamble that shocked the world!

Divine Capital Second City.

Lotus Pavilion.

Though said to be the place where the State Preceptor works and resides, it’s actually just a simple small building.

The small building is three stories high, the architectural style is quite ancient with carved beams and painted rafters, yet exudes an air of antiquity.

On the third floor of the Lotus Pavilion, at the railing, you can directly see the straight long street, “Vermilion Bird Street”, running through all Nine Cities of the Divine Capital.

A massive three-legged bronze tripod is placed by the railing, propped by a bamboo ladder. An old man, dressed in a cloth robe, pale-faced with a few strands of white hair at his temples, is lying on the bamboo ladder, quietly admiring the three lotus flowers nurtured within the bronze tripod.

On the reception chair at the desk on the third floor, a robust figure in mysterious black armor, a black cloak fluttering, Ji Moli, having removed his helmet, sits sipping the hot tea prepared by an apprentice.

The old man carefully climbed down from the chair, shook off the dust from his clothing, and walked to the front of the desk.

“What a Lv Taibai, developed the Tribulation Sword, directly overturned the table…so bold.”

“A sword cultivator, just straight-minded.”

Cloth Robe State Preceptor Xie Yushen smiled, shook his head, and drank all the tea in one gulp.

“State Preceptor, you’ve got more white hair.” Ji Moli remarked.

Xie Yushen smiled, spread out sheets of paper written with words on the desk. These sheets were filled with news about the “Underworld” appearing in Qianyuan Dao City.

“Can’t help it, my martial path is humble, divinity not understood, can’t compare with you top-level peaks.”

Xie Yushen shook his head.

“State Preceptor is too modest. Everything you’ve done for the Great Vista far surpasses what we top-level peaks could achieve.”

Ji Moli remarked.

Xie Yushen’s eyes moved away from the Underworld information on the desk, glanced at Ji Moli, suddenly smiled: “Flattering, if Your Highness could save me some worry, it would be better.”

Ji Moli didn’t reply, stood up, and walked to the bronze tripod.

“State Preceptor’s three lotuses, nurtured so well.”

Ji Moli praised.

“No matter how well nurtured, there will always come a day they wither and die.” Xie Yushen said faintly.

Then extracted a piece of information from multiple Underworld pieces.

Dipped the wolf brush in ink, circled a name on the sheet.

“Li Che.”

State Preceptor Xie Yushen leaned back on the bamboo chair, the aging chair seemed to emit a creaking sound.

“The Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod fell into the hands of the Underworld, I guess… it’s in the hands of this Li Che.”

“A mere lowly worker, in six years nurtured a Divine Fetus…”

Xie Yushen remarked.

“Just right… in this pre-feast bet, the Prince can help test this person’s depth.”

“See if you could expose this rascal’s true form.”

State Preceptor Xie Yushen sat on the bamboo chair, blowing on the surface of the tea, took a sip of hot tea.

“The Divine Rod emerges, Heavenly Movement happens, Da Jing Mountains and Rivers shake…”

“Who could be the one to cause the landscape and state to be shaken?”

Ji Moli turned around, gazed solemnly.

Xie Yushen laughed.

Spat out tea foam.

“Don’t look, Prince, it won’t be you.”
