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

Chapter 1676: Chapter 439: I Arrive with Heroes—How Will You Respond? Secretly Meeting the Training Emperor Xi Xi

”A reward.”

”Refine it.”

Li Che said calmly.

Gu Changqing couldn’t master the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, but... Li Che possessed the Power of Disaster.

Granting the Power of the Confining God Tribulation to aid in a breakthrough was naturally extremely suitable and easy.

BOOM——!!!

Within Mo City, as Gu Changqing refined the purple Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, his entire aura surged upward.

Laughter echoed continuously.

After a long time.

Gu Changqing landed in front of Li Che, respectfully and fervently cupping his fists in a bow: ”Thank you, my lord, for making this possible.”

”Focus on refining pills.”

Li Che encouraged with satisfaction.

Both Gu Changqing and Huang Mei had broken through to the Divine Tribulation Realm, and now among Li Che’s divine tribulation cultivators, the number of those able to confine souls increased rapidly.

Gu Yinxuan, and the Nine Infant transformed from the Old Dragon God, both had the combat power of One Disaster Two Tribulations Realm.

Next, Zhao Beidou, Gu Changqing, and Grandmaster Huang Mei, had the combat power of One Disaster One Tribulation.

Additionally, there was the Divine Machine Demon Ape, with combat power comparable to that of a Martial God.

Li Che’s eyes flickered with anticipation for the journey to Qi Tian City.

I lead many heroes, what say you?

...

...

Crack! Crack!——!

With a thunderous explosion, lightning flashed and thunder roared as winter thunder rolled through the leaden skies.

The sudden flash of lightning, like countless ferocious webs of lightning strung between the clouds!

Rustle, rustle, rustle——

The falling snow melted, turning into winter rain, drifting over the human world.

By the Grand Canal.

A boat slowly docked with a thud, stopping at the shore amidst rain and snow.

”Wow——!!! Finally, we’re here!”

Xi Xi burst out of the cabin, arms spread wide, tummy out, exhaling a long breath.

She had changed out of her fiery red clothes, with makeup disguising her appearance slightly.

Due to the connection with the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting, Xi Xi’s makeup and disguise skills were very adept.

She even disguised Yun E, Zhou Peng, and Jin Taixui.

Now, the four of them had entirely different appearances.

”According to the map, we’ve arrived in Jiangnan Dao, a land rich and bountiful, with wonderful mountains and rivers, fertile soil...”

Yun E, holding a white rabbit, explained to Xi Xi with a smile.

Xi Xi squinted her eyes: ”But this land also nurtured the Corpse God Cult!”

Xi Xi and her group had been traveling incognito because her identity was exposed; the evil people of the Corpse God Cult, assassins from the Hunting God Pavilion, cultivators from the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, along with many Jianghu Guests sent by the Imperial Court, Divine Sect, and Great Families were all searching for Xi Xi and her companions.

The main threat came from the Corpse God Cult and the Hunting God Pavilion. Along the way, Xi Xi had several encounters with the evil people of the Corpse God Cult.

The closer they got to Jiangnan Dao, the more rampant the influence of the Corpse God Cult became.

One Corpse God Envoy after another walked around searching, and even though they were in disguise, they sometimes inexplicably faced attacks.

Because the evil people of the Corpse God Cult didn’t care at all about the deaths of ordinary people.

”The outside world... is too chaotic.”

Xi Xi held Yun E’s hand as they jumped off the boat together.

Xi Xi sighed, realizing only now that compared to the outside, Qianyuan Dao City was such a safe place.

Zhou Peng took out some silver coins and handed them to the boatman.

The group continued on their journey, arriving at the nearest city after a long trek.

”This city is Luoyun City, a bustling major city under the jurisdiction of Wenling Prefecture in Jiangzhou of Jiangnan Dao. Although not as grand as the Mansion City, it’s considered the Second City of Wenling Prefecture.”

”However, this city’s defense is really weak, with just a few sparse guards...”

”Even the inspection of people entering the city is so perfunctory...”

Yun E frowned, rubbing the little white rabbit in her arms, with a hint of puzzlement in her expression.

But everyone had been sailing on the Grand Canal for days, their mouths had gone bland as if they’d grown birds beaks.

Eagerly, they entered Luoyun City and found an inn.

Even Yun E, rarely, ate an extra bowl of rice.

After eating like a whirlwind, they indulged heartily.

Xi Xi patted her chubby little belly, exhaling contentedly.

”Speaking of food, I just thought of the boss’s dishes, it’s been so long since I’ve had them, and the Big Black Dog, too, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them...”

Xi Xi muttered, in truth, she missed them quite a bit.

”I heard Qi Tian City has opened; in these days, it’s a storm of events!”

”Yeah, Qi Tian City was closed for five hundred years, occupied by the Demon Race, and now the strong from our Great Vista are finally taking action to clear those demons.”

”Ah, Qi Tian Temple was so glorious back in the day... But now, little demons are flaunting their power in Qi Tian City!”

...

In the inn, many Jianghu-dressed patrons drank and conversed.

Xi Xi’s ears perked up, her eyes sparkling brightly.

”Qi Tian City...”

Yun E glanced at Xi Xi, pointing with a slender finger: ”Xi Xi, give up on that thought...”

”Qi Tian City is not a place for us to go.”

Xi Xi touched her two upward pigtails, smiling playfully: ”Aren’t we out here to train? We can join in on the excitement, just to have a look...”

”No.”

Yun E shook her head solemnly.

”Qi Tian City has the legacy of Qi Tian Temple, and those daring to go there for opportunities are mostly of the Absolute Peak Great God level, even Divine Tribulations... Not to mention the extremely violent demons, the likes of the Demon Emperor and Demon God, who are ruthless and terrifyingly dangerous.”

Yun E was more serious than ever; she had promised Aunt Zhang to take good care of Xi Xi during their training outside.

Xi Xi pursed her lips: ”Fine then, Emperor Xi Xi will spare them for now.”

”When Emperor Xi Xi grows stronger, I’ll go.”

After the meal, as night fell, the drizzle of winter rain descended upon the entire city, with black tiles and white walls showcasing the distinctive style of the Jiangnan water towns.
