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

Chapter 1444: Chapter 390: The Emperor’s Turn on the Throne—Can Xi Xi Sit Too? Should I Call You Li Half-Saint or Divine Monkey?

...

When suspicion falls like wildfire, it instantly shows signs of a prairie blaze.

The whispers, unable to be suppressed, expand rapidly like a storm.

In the White Jade Square.

Li Che’s face remained calm, but behind him, Xi Xi’s face suddenly turned pale with disbelief as she looked at Lu Chi, all the color drained from her face.

Lv Taibai was also bewildered, his heart involuntarily stirred.

Because Lu Chi had lived with Li Che’s family, this matter... he had indeed heard of it.

This Lu Chi... actually stabbed Xi Xi in the back?!

”Lu Chi! You bastard!”

Xi Xi clenched her fists and shouted angrily.

Li Che sighed, ruffling Xi Xi’s hair, this little girl... had been deceived by Xie Yushen.

Lu Chi knew of his Bull Demon identity, not some Divine Monkey...

This Xie Yushen was merely bluffing Xi Xi.

However, even though it seemed so...

Lu Chi should have also told Xie Yushen about Li Che being the Bull Demon.

Lu Chi had sworn that he would never say it.

But now... he eventually said it.

Since he uttered it.

That means... he stabbed in the back.

Xi Xi was just a six-year-old child, unable to control her emotions when betrayed, which was normal.

Xie Yushen stroked his beard and laughed.

Xi Xi’s demeanor was basically... enough to explain the issue.

And Lu Chi, as if struck by lightning, couldn’t stop trembling, staring at Xie Yushen in anger, confusion, and suspicion.

Xie Yushen gently patted Lu Chi on the head.

”Don’t worry... you didn’t betray anyone, you’re just making the right choice.”

”The choice you made might become your biggest leverage to become the Crown Prince, don’t you want to be the Crown Prince?”

”Only by becoming the Crown Prince can you have the qualification to marry the Crown Princess Consort...”

Xie Yushen rubbed Lu Chi’s head gently, making Lu Chi’s face show a struggling expression.

Marrying the Crown Princess Consort...

The Emperor just bestowed the marriage to the Crown Princess Consort...

”I... I...”

Lv Taibai was utterly confused.

In the White Jade Square.

Li Che exhaled, glancing at the State Preceptor Xie Yushen, what a cunning man, even to use such heart tactics on a child.

However, Li Che didn’t have a good face towards Lu Chi either.

”State Preceptor, is it? Without evidence... don’t randomly accuse. When the Divine Monkey acquired the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod at the Mysterious Temple of Divine Carving Ridge, I too was in the trial, but unfortunately, I made a wrong move...”

Li Che said casually.

”At the time, many Cultivators from the Divine Sect saw it, so don’t go slandering me without evidence and empty words...”

”How could a child’s words be taken seriously?”

”Moreover, Lu Chi and Xi Xi have already fallen out, it’s normal for kids to have conflicts and say some heated words.”

Xie Yushen held an oiled-paper umbrella, lightly smiling: ”Oh, perhaps it truly was a child’s spat, but for now, let Li Half-Saint stay for Governor Ye of the Temple Control Bureau to investigate...”

”Investigation... huh.”

Lv Taibai laughed loudly.

”By that time, black could be said as white by you people!”

”Don’t pay any attention to them.”

Lv Taibai’s eyes were sharp, his killing intent surging, the sound of sword energy resonating, turning into a sword cloud to envelop Li Che and Xi Xi.

”Let’s go!”

Boom——!!!

The sword energy was like wild grass, and with a resonant clang, the sword energy soared skyward as if it wanted to pierce through the clouds.

The Emperor stood on the high platform, even if his face wasn’t visible, it was clear that his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

The bright yellow robe fluttered, coldness gradually growing in his eyes.

The matter Xie Yushen revealed... he hadn’t expected it at all.

Li Che... is the Underworld Divine Monkey?

The one predicted by the Great Supervising Minister to hold the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, ascend the Qi Tian City tower, and threaten the great foundation of the Da Jing Dynasty?!

”The State Preceptor has a point, let Governor Ye of the Temple Control Bureau conduct the investigation, if Li Half-Saint is not the Underworld Divine Monkey, I will compensate accordingly.”

”Rest assured during the investigation, you will neither be imprisoned nor harmed, you will just stay in the Divine Capital for a while.”

The Emperor suddenly flung his sleeve and spoke in a deep voice.

With these words said.

Li Che, his black hair fluttering under Lv Taibai’s sword energy: ”For someone who wants to accuse you, excuses are easy to find.”

”Furthermore... Your Majesty, even the reward for the Flat Peach Victory Meeting is given so stingily, do you think a Divine Sculpture Half-Saint with the status of a Special Class Guest Minister of the Qintian Observatory... cares for your compensation?”

With these words of Li Che.

The Emperor’s face instantly darkened a few more shades.

However, the Emperor did not say much else and lightly beckoned.

Instantly.

An immensely powerful aura shot up into the sky in a flash, surging with scorched qi and blood, as if an ancient fierce beast had awakened in an instant.

Following that, three more overwhelming and terrifying qi and blood followed suit!

Shooting forth from the four corners of the White Jade Square, the intertwined qi and blood formed the virtual shadow of a divine beast, pressing and lowering with an unbearable suffocation that seemed to freeze the entire spring rain.

It was indeed the Four Great Commanders of the Divine Capital’s Xuanwei: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise!

Four top-level peaks!

Also the four great strongmen under the Emperor’s rule of the Great Vista!

This is the power of the Da Jing Dynasty!

Although the Great Vista’s Eleven Paths have eleven Sacred Sects, the fact is, the Da Jing Dynasty is the truly powerful force, and the number of top-level peaks and top Great Gods it can muster far exceeds that of a single Sacred Sect!

Boom——!!!

Leading them, the first to burst forth with qi and blood was the green-armored strong man, with each piece of his armor crafted from True Dragon scales!

This person was the head of the Four Great Xuanwei Commanders, Azure Dragon!

The moment the Emperor beckoned, Azure Dragon made his move!

Amidst the pattering spring rain, a series of thunderclaps suddenly echoed!

Only to see Azure Dragon swing an arm, condensing his qi and blood into a real hand, with the five fingers curving to form a sharp dragon claw resembling the five fingers of a divine spear!

Compressing the rolling airflow, tearing through the rain, emitting a piercing sonic boom, straddling the White Jade Square, enveloped in the terrifying pressure of a top-level peak!

Dragging an enormous wave of air over a hundred meters long, it crashed fiercely towards Lv Taibai!

The dragon claw was vivid and lifelike, with each scale on it condensed from intertwined qi and blood, like a flawless work of art!

The person making the move was Azure Dragon, ranked sixth at the top-level peak at the Heavenly Gate!

”Lv Taibai, since Your Majesty has spoken, then leave Li Half-Saint behind.”

A flat voice came from Azure Dragon’s mouth.

Lv Taibai did not hold back in the slightest, the flesh and blood between his eyebrows split open in an instant, dripping with blood, the Dao Yun Tribulation Sword was fiercely summoned, with the terrifying Dao Yun Tribulation Sword turning into an extremely gorgeous sword light, like a divine wind sweeping through.

The dragon claw was actually starting to be shattered and exploded!

Azure Dragon’s eyes narrowed, his face changed, with a trace of astonishment in his eyes...

The Dao Yun Tribulation Sword, truly terrifying!

Bang bang bang bang——

A series of explosive blasts shook above the White Jade Square, rampantly unleashing whistling chaotic currents.

Causing great panic among the cultivators of the Divine Capital’s Second and Third Cities.

As the airflow swept through, the martial world practitioners watching at the city gates of the Divine Capital’s Third City were immediately blown around, causing exclamations.

Main banquet area.

Ji Moli laughed, slowly stood up, his mysterious black armor clanking heavily, bursting with controlling hums, as if the surrounding air was detonated by his aura in an instant!

”The Underworld has connections to Noble Princess Consort Ji’s death. If you truly have connections to the Underworld, this suspicion is too great, you must stay!”

”Li Che, stay behind!”

Ji Moli spoke.

Behind him, all four disciples, including Zhou Chiguo, donned their armor, their bodies instantly enlarged, swelling like hills.

Ji Moli looked toward the Emperor, cupped his fist: ”Your Majesty, my own son Ji Haihui and Princess Consort Ao Yuxin were both slain at the hands of Underworld fiends. If Li Half-Saint is truly connected to them, I... must keep him, and from his mouth find out information on other Underworld fiends.”

”To avenge my son and wife!”

The Emperor glanced at the dignified Ji Moli with complex expression, his eyes indifferent.

”Alright.”

Ji Moli lightly smiled.

In the next instant, he clenched his five fingers.

A umbrella gun was immediately handed over by one of his mountainous sons.

Boom——

Clenching the umbrella gun.

Instantly, the momentum on his body climbed steadily, booming upward, like a mountain soaring, the likes of a thunderstorm crushing down!

The spear tip pointed distantly.

Pointing distantly at Li Che, who was enveloped by Lv Taibai’s sword light.
