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

Chapter 1660: Chapter 436: The Underworld’s Backer Is Actually the Imperial Court, and I, Master Li, Choose to Make a High-Profile Move

Rumble——!!!

A terrifying aura spreads across the sky, and the massive black city looms like ink, hovering over Guangling Dao City.

Oppressive, claustrophobic, terrifying, death...

All kinds of auras continually emanate from that city, and the terrifyingly ferocious giant beast shakes its nine heads. Two of the heads are distinctly clear, exuding a monstrous ferocity, as if a beast from the vast sea is stirring up a storm of destruction!

Guangling Dao City is instantly plunged into a deathly silence.

”The Underworld...”

Gu Qianchi’s expression is somewhat complex, and even a hint of confusion and trepidation surfaces in the depths of his eyes.

That’s right...

It’s trepidation!

He takes a step back, looking at Xie Yushen, deep in his eyes, where waves of shock roll, mixed with a few degrees of dread, fear, and goosebumps.

The State Preceptor and the Underworld... could it be that from the very beginning, they had already allied together?!

This attack against Qian Yuan was nothing but a grand drama?

A great play targeting the Divine Sect that surrendered to the Da Jing Dynasty?

After all, too many powerful figures have fallen in this war against the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Gu Changqing, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, and Zhao Chunqiu, the Divine Sect Master, and also Bai Buxi, the Sect Master of Jiangnan Dao’s Haoran Academy...

Even Zhao Beidou, a grandmaster-level Divine Tribulation expert, suffered unprecedented injuries because of this battle. Even his Disaster Wheel cracked with massive fractures, difficult to repair, possibly causing him to fall prematurely due to this battle.

It can be said that all the great Divine Sects suffered heavily in this battle.

In addition, the Dragon God Lineage’s pillar, the Old Dragon God, also fell because of this, and that was a Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator at the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm!

It’s fair to say the Dragon God Lineage is practically crippled.

And what about the court’s side?

It seems only Ji Moli’s physical body was destroyed, but... as Gu Qianchi, the Grandmaster of the Divine Sect, naturally knew a little about the deeds of King Ping Luan Ji Moli.

This King of Quelling Chaos was opposing the Corpse God Cult in Jizhou and might have been plotting something, while the court itself might have intended to deal with King Ping Luan...

As for the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect under the State Preceptor, their deaths caused Gu Qianchi a little hesitation.

But this hesitation quickly dissipated because the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect seemed to betray the State Preceptor immediately.

Gu Qianchi took a deep breath, so... in this situation, could it all be Xie Yushen’s calculations and conspiracy?

State Preceptor Xie Yushen and the Underworld had already allied together with the goal of ambushing the Divine Sect experts who had surrendered to the court?

If this is truly the case, Gu Qianchi would only feel trepidation and horror.

Bashu Sword Pavilion...

Could it be the next targeted Divine Sect?

Xie Yushen looked at Gu Qianchi with a bitter smile, as if he had guessed Gu Qianchi’s thoughts, ”Grandmaster Gu, you don’t have to think too much...”

”If I had long cooperated with the Underworld, it wouldn’t be possible for me to use the Luck Golden Lotus carelessly, what if its use consumed Da Jing’s fortune...something the Emperor does not permit, and it’s also a consumption of my own life.”

”I joined forces with the Underworld because the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect offended people they shouldn’t have.”

Xie Yushen lightly waved the feather fan, speaking with a bitter smile.

”From the intelligence I gathered, recently the Qian Yuan Young Master’s daughter, Li Nuanxi, who is also the daughter of Master Li Che, appeared in Guangling Dao City and was hunted down by a Martial Saint from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect...”

”As you know, Li Nuanxi’s importance as the most precious daughter of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect and the Divine Sculpture Master Li Che... she is also a treasure of the Underworld, so I contacted the Underworld.”

”As long as I don’t war against Qian Yuan Dao City, then why wouldn’t the Underworld cooperate with me?”

”The Underworld wants to stand up for Li Nuanxi, and I want to attack the Sky-breaking Elixir Divine Sect, so... it’s a perfect match, and we joined hands.”

Xie Yushen spoke softly to Gu Qianchi.

Gu Qianchi’s eyes flickered, his brows furrowing, feeling that something was amiss...

Is it really so?

Xie Yushen didn’t say much more, gently waving the feather fan, looking up at the terrifyingly fierce beast struggling out of Fengdu in the Underworld!

The Sea Flipping Nine Infants, one of the Underworld’s top ten ferocious creatures!

Like a mythical beast descending into reality!

The Underworld’s brand-new weapon!

First time appearing in the human world!

Gu Qianchi also followed Xie Yushen’s gaze over, having already withdrawn his mind from the matter of the State Preceptor and the Underworld’s alliance, no longer shocked or trepidated.

Therefore, he also saw the Sea Flipping Nine Infants, this beast of the Underworld.

Vaguely, Gu Qianchi felt a sense of familiarity, but this familiarity was quickly shattered with a roar from the Underworld’s Nine Infants!

The sound waves spread like waves, creating circular ripples in the sky, space itself seeming unable to bear it for a moment, as if about to shatter and explode!

Rumble——

Above the dome of the sky, tribulation clouds were rolling, that was the power of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations... brewing and unleashing its might.

Behind the Nine Infants, a massive ink-colored Dragon Ball emerged, similar to a Dragon Emperor Pearl, but ink-colored, engraved inside was the image of the Ancestor Dragon.

Two immense ink-like disaster powers flowed on the Dragon Emperor Pearl!

”One Calamity and Two Tribulations!”

Gu Qianchi’s eyes narrowed, this ferocious beast of the Underworld... had actually reached the Realm of One Calamity and Two Tribulations!

”The Underworld... is the Underworld truly so powerful?!”

Gu Qianchi’s voice was tinged with bitterness.

The Underworld of the past, the strongest was only an Underworld Yama, not even a Divine Tribulation.

But now, the Underworld seemed to be showing its true strength, not only having an Earthly Ghost Emperor capable of slaying the Old Dragon God but also now revealing a mythical fierce beast comparable to the One Calamity and Two Tribulations Realm!
