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

Chapter 1677: Chapter 439: I Arrive With Heroes—How Do You All Explain This? Secretly Visiting the Training Emperor Xi Xi [Monthly Ticket Requested]

The group settled down at an inn to rest.

Xi Xi and Yun E shared a room, as night fell, the entire city seemed to be shrouded in darkness, with not a glimmer of light.

”Sister Yun E, I heard from my father that Jiangnan is very romantic, it’s said there are many flower boats... they all shine brightly at night, why is Luoyun City so quiet at night?”

Xi Xi propped her chin with both hands, gazing at the pitch-black city, and couldn’t help but ask.

Yun E’s action of folding clothes halted.

Her heart inexplicably trembled.

She stood up, walked to the window, her beautiful face with eyes seemingly engulfed by endless darkness, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

”Yes...”

”Why is it so dark?”

...

...

Qianyuan Dao City.

Outer Sect, Disciple City, Elder Court.

Squeak...

Li Che opened the study’s door and slowly walked out.

As night fell, the courtyard was full of lanterns, illuminating it with their light.

Snowflakes drifted, Zhang Ya was in the courtyard with her Qi-blood running through her veins, accompanied by the explosive sound of Qi, she continually practiced martial arts.

Upon seeing Li Che walk out from the study.

Zhang Ya stopped her martial practice: ”Husband... are you setting off?”

Li Che nodded.

Zhang Ya hurried inside, then took out a piece of clothing she had just sewn: ”New clothes for you, husband.”

Li Che took the clothes his wife sewed, smiling gently.

”Husband, please be careful when you go to Qi Tian City, I heard it’s very dangerous there, let’s just wish for safety and peace.”

Zhang Ya held onto Li Che’s embrace, resting her head on his chest, speaking softly.

Li Che rubbed Zhang Ya’s head.

After the couple shared a tender moment, Li Che eventually had to say goodbye and leave.

In the falling snow.

At the courtyard’s gate.

Zhang Ya leaned against the doorframe, standing in the wind and snow, the breeze brushing her black hair, stirring her deep eyes.

Watching her husband go off on his journey.

...

...

”It’s too dark... this city, it’s really too dark.”

Yun E tightly furrowed her brows, sensing something amiss.

Xi Xi seemed to notice Yun E’s heavy heart as well: ”Sister Yun E, do you feel there’s danger?”

”But, we’ve disguised ourselves to enter the city, and haven’t felt any assassins from the Corpse God Cult or Hunting God Pavilion tracking us...”

Yun E shook her head, eyes slightly narrowing.

She looked towards the sky, as raindrops gently fell.

As if bringing endless melancholy.

”Perhaps I’m overthinking, but... traveling outside, it’s good to be cautious.”

Yun E rubbed Xi Xi’s head.

”Wait for me for a moment.”

After Yun E finished speaking, she raised her hand, slender fingers suddenly pointing to her own brow.

Buzzing—

It seemed as if a vast divinity emanated from her back.

Xi Xi only felt Yun E become extremely cold, noble, emanating a terror-inducing oppressive force that stirred one’s soul.

”Sister Yun E...”

Xi Xi stepped back two paces, sensing the presence of the Temple God.

Xi Xi had long known there was a Temple God hidden inside Yun E.

But now it seemed, she’s growing stronger, Yun E and her companions are also growing stronger, and the fusion with the Temple God seems more powerful.

Suddenly...

Yun E suddenly opened her eyes, her face turning pale as paper.

Her delicate body swayed.

Her Temple God was frantically warning!

There is danger, great danger!

”Xi Xi, call Zhou Peng and the others, we must hurry, leave this city!”

Yun E said in a low voice.

Xi Xi’s expression turned stern, as for Yun E, she naturally had great trust, knowing she’s usually a bit reckless, only Sister Yun E could hold her back a little.

Yun E gave Xi Xi the feeling of being somewhat like her father, very steady.

Calling out to Zhou Peng who was preparing to eat a late-night snack, Jin Taixui also came out from the room, and the four of them immediately left the inn, plunging into the dark night, swiftly heading outside of Luoyun City.

In the rain, complete darkness.

The entire city turned into an endless expanse of black.

Xi Xi utilized the Art of Breath Concealment of the Slumbering Dragon Elephant Vajra and instructed Yun E and the others to use the Breath Concealing Charm she crafted based on the concealing technique.

The four people broke through the night on the rain-soaked, moist bluestone street, running swiftly.

However.

They had just reached the city gate.

Yun E quickly pulled everyone into an alley.

At the city gate, darkness rolled like fog.

Inside the darkness, there was a dense army clad in black Xuan heavy armor, blocking the gate completely.

Clangorous and solemn, banners flew wildly.

The banner flapped in the darkness, revealing a bloodstained ’Ji’ character, seeming to drip with blood.

From the alley, using the Concealing Breath Technique, Xi Xi peeked secretly, her eyes narrowing.

”That is...”

”Ji Moli’s... Black Armor Guards?!”

Ji Moli!

The Black Armor Guards of King Ping Luan... Aren’t they supposed to be in Jizhou?

How could they appear here?!

Xi Xi’s mind trembled, and the godly pattern on Yun E’s brow flickered slightly.

She took a deep breath.

”Not just that... Xi Xi, look at the city tower...”

Xi Xi raised her eyes to see the city tower, where besides soldiers in black armor, there were shadows wrapped in black robe hoods, emanating death Qi and corpse Qi in the darkness.

”Corpse God Cult!”

Xi Xi gritted her teeth.

Vaguely, she seemed to have guessed something.

Yun E shivered all over.

At the forefront of the Black Armor Guards, a figure clad in black Xuan armor stood tall, it was Zhou Chiguo, who returned with Ji Moli from the Divine Capital.

Zhou Chiguo, dressed in armor, glanced dazedly at Luoyun City shrouded in darkness.

Meanwhile, other Black Armor Guards and many evil people from the Corpse God Cult stood before the city gate, staring gloomily at Luoyun City in darkness, as if...

Eyeing an extremely plump piece of meat.

...

...

Li Che bid farewell to his wife and arrived at Taibai Peak.

In Taibai Hall.

Lv Qiankun, Lv Taibai, and Fang Hanshu had long been waiting.

”A Che has arrived?”

The three saw Li Che and smiled gently.

”Let’s prepare to set off, there aren’t so many formalities for us four... Just travel swiftly.”

Lv Taibai smiled.

In the next moment, he flicked his fingers, and a clangorous sword chant erupted.

The Taibai Sword in his hand suddenly grew larger and wider, eventually becoming a ten-meter-long flying sword, suspended over the Daping of Taibai Peak.

Night faded into twilight, snow fluttered silently.

The four did not bid farewell to others from the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, instead, they leapt onto the flying sword, sword light clangorous, soaring swiftly.

Lv Taibai, having reached the Divine Tribulation Realm, was exuberant, his silver hair fluttering, standing at the forefront of the flying sword, his large sleeves stirring like a Sword Immortal in the heavens and earth.

Lv Qiankun, Fang Hanshu, and Li Che, naturally weren’t as flamboyant as Lv Taibai, and gathered around the stove brewing tea in the center of the flying sword.

Li Che, sipping tea, subtly diverted his attention, concerned about the little girl Xi Xi’s training situation, as he vaguely sensed something amiss about the city where Xi Xi was training.

Taking a sip of spiritual tea, rich spiritual energy burst out in his mouth.

Li Che turned his head to look at Lv Taibai, who stood at the wave crest of sword qi, flamboyant and alone.

”Sect Master, is Qi Tian City located in Jianzhou of Jiangnan Dao?”

”Yes.”

Lv Taibai did not turn back, his hands behind his back, sleeves floating.

Li Che’s eyes sparkled: ”Then for our journey... let’s first visit Jiangzhou of Jiangnan Dao.”

Lv Taibai was momentarily stunned: ”Where in Jiangzhou?”

”Jiangzhou’s Wenling Prefecture, Luoyun City.”

Li Che said: ”To secretly meet the girl.”

Upon hearing Li Che’s words, Lv Taibai’s eyes shone brightly.

Meet Xi Xi?

Honestly...

Lv Taibai quite misses Xi Xi.

Having heard Li Che’s statement, he didn’t bother asking how Li Che knew Xi Xi’s whereabouts, he just went ahead.

Lv Taibai eagerly anticipated showing up in front of his treasured disciple with his Divine Tribulation Cultivation, hoping to see Xi Xi’s worshipful expression!

Instantly inspired!

He suddenly turned around, one hand behind his back, the other forming sword fingers and sealing technique, thrusting forward.

The flying sword accelerated swiftly.

Precious disciple, your master is coming!
