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

Chapter 1870: Chapter 482: Boss, You Are the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch—How Many Soul Capturings Does the Lord Have Outside?

And then.

Qingyun Road, Xuanfu Divine Sect’s Qi Fortune, gather Qi Fortune Golden Lotus!

Great Vista’s Eleven Paths Qi Fortune, gather two.

...

...

Divine Capital.

Second City.

Dong dong dong dong——

The grand bell resounded continuously, sound waves like waves, rippling through the void.

Above Lotus Pavilion.

A golden lotus quietly bloomed, its golden light illuminating the pavilion, bestowing the entire building with a layer of glazed golden light!

On the peak of the Imperial Mausoleum Mountain.

Mists spiraled, the wind stopped, rain cleared.

The Emperor, clad in a bright yellow robe, stood at the mountain peak, amidst the Imperial Mausoleum, conversing with a figure shrouded in a black robe.

”Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Great Vista’s Eleven Paths Mountain and River Qi Fortune has gathered another one!”

The black-robed figure said with a smile.

The Emperor’s face, veiled in divinity and Dao Yun, seemed to finally show a hint of a smile.

”At last, something worthy of celebration... State Preceptor, truly worthy of being my confidant!”

”However, only two of the Eleven Divine Sects have been broken; gathering the twelve-grade Mountain and River Qi Fortune Golden Lotus will still take time...”

The Emperor gently shook his head.

The black-robed figure chuckled softly: ”If it truly happens, it will be no small matter. If Your Majesty holds the twelve-grade Mountain and River Qi Fortune Golden Lotus and enters the Strange Que, the Heavenly Emperor will surely notice, bestowing a Divine Fruit Position, immortal for thirty thousand years!”

The Emperor’s eyes flickered and interwoven, and he couldn’t help but laugh at these words.

Afterward, the black-robed figure revealed his intention, seeking to borrow the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner.

”Your Majesty is in charge of the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner and the Earth Flag, the Supreme Xuanzhen from Qitian City has sent me to borrow the flag...”

The black-robed figure was a strong entity emerging from the Strange Que.

The Dajing Imperial Mausoleum was rebuilt from a Mysterious Temple, connecting to the Inner Mysterious Que, and even extremely close to the Thirty-Three Heavens Lingxiao Palace of the Dark Heavenly Court.

”Borrowing the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner... is it to deal with the Earthly Ghost Emperor?”

The Emperor asked, his eyes flickering.

”Didn’t the news from Qitian City say... the Earthly Ghost Emperor, burning out his Qi-Blood, the Martial Immortal will fall? The Chief of the Qintian Observatory also personally calculated that the Earthly Ghost Emperor’s mortal Martial Immortal’s fate is not long...”

”Why does Supreme Xuanzhen need to borrow the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner? Can’t he wait for some time, maybe, the Earthly Ghost Emperor... will burn out and perish?”

The black-robed figure did not have much respect for the Emperor of Dajing; had it not been for borrowing the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner, he wouldn’t have bothered saying much.

He shook his head, somewhat gritting his teeth beneath the hood.

”That Earthly Ghost Emperor claims he will burn out... but who knows when it will happen? Three months pass, and then another three months, who knows when he will fall?”

”Supreme Xuanzhen even suspects... this Earthly Ghost Emperor is acting! But that state of burning out Qi-Blood is extremely real, even a Martial Immortal couldn’t survive in that condition.”

”Supreme Xuanzhen worries that circumstances might change, that he can’t fully control Qitian City, and if Qitian returns from the Earth Deceit Que...”

”Then Earthly Hell’s Evil can accomplish the connection...”

The Emperor sighed lightly upon hearing this.

”Rest assured, I will take the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner and traverse from the Strange Que to Qitian Inner City. After Qitian Inner City’s position is exposed, the Supreme of the Heavenly Court specially tore open the Mysterious Fog, creating a path straight to Qitian City.”

”The Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner in my hands will not be lost and will directly reach Qitian Inner City, delivered to Supreme Xuanzhen.”

The black-robed figure said in a deep voice.

The Emperor fell silent upon hearing this and then turned to Mr. Lian: ”Let my confidant hold the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner and accompany you.”

”After all... the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner is too important.”

The black-robed figure of the Dark Heavenly Court sneered: ”As you wish.”

”Do you think I have the courage to act contrary to the Supreme’s orders?”

”It’s not only about concerns for you but also about the worry that other strong entities from the All Gods Camp might intercept the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner along the way.”

The Emperor explained.

”My confidant will hold a Divine Talisman. If someone attempts to seize the flag, he can immediately use the Divine Talisman to return the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner.”

Subsequently, the Emperor looked at Mr. Lian.

”Mr. Lian, are you willing to undertake this journey for me, even if it may cost your life... are you willing?”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lian’s face was full of emotion and devotion, he knelt on the ground, gently kowtowing, resolute and firm, as if willing to walk through fire without hesitation.

”Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if it costs my life, I will protect the Gathering Immortals Banner!”

”I will burn out my life to guard the Gathering Immortals Banner!”

Though he was a eunuch, his voice was sonorous and powerful, his words struck with authority!

The black-robed figure couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

However...

Why would a eunuch also speak of burning out?!

...

...

Qi Tian City was bustling and prosperous.

Equal Heaven Temple reopened the Divine Sect, and within three months, recruited many disciples, searching for divine children and spirit children from various prefectures across Jiangnan Dao.

Fang Hanshu reopened Qi Tian City, welcoming merchants to settle, instantly revitalizing the ancient city.

Rumble—

Above the heavenly dome, black clouds amassed, countless lightning bolts intertwined within.

A brewing storm arrived as expected.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, striking the black tiles of Qi Tian City, shattering open and exploding into a misty fog, making the entire city appear indistinct.

Qitian Outer City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Fang Hanshu’s Confucian robe fluttered as he held the Holy Sage Book, standing under the eaves, observing the heavens’ great rain with clarity, his brow shining with starlight.

Beside him, Li Che’s dark hair cascaded over his shoulders, his embroidered golden lotus robe gently swaying.

”My Lord, the letter from Qian Yuan Divine Sect...”

Fang Hanshu took out the letter and handed it to Li Che.

”What does it say?”

Li Che felt the water vapor from the summer storm, his whole being warm as jade, his body emanating a majestic aura.

”News from Old Lv, he wants Xi Xi to return.”

Li Che’s eyes lifted slightly: ”Calling Xi Xi back?”

”Yes, for the sect master’s inauguration ceremony. Old Lv, after breaking into the Divine Tribulation Realm... the suppression from Heaven and Earth Will is becoming more apparent, he must retreat to Small Cave Heaven to consolidate his cultivation and withdraw into the background.”

”Qian Yuan Divine Sect cannot go a day without a sect master, so... before he retreats to Small Cave Heaven, he wants to confirm Xi Xi as the sect master.”

Fang Hanshu said with a smile.

Li Che heard this and couldn’t help but smile: ”What a...”

”The sect master is eager to venture into Strange Que? Wanting to dive deep into Strange Que, fight the strong, seize opportunities, and search for Dao Yun Divine Crystals...”

Fang Hanshu nodded, his lips curling: ”Indeed...”

Li Che pondered for a moment: ”Xi Xi’s talent now is truly exceptional, her cultivation speed astonishingly fast under Boss’s nurturance...”

”But, does the sect master know about Xi Xi’s identity as the Daughter of Prison Lotus?”

”If Xi Xi truly inherits the position of sect master of Qian Yuan Divine Sect, Qian Yuan will truly bind with Prison Lotus... the future will inevitably face fierce assaults and challenges from all gods’ camp.”

Fang Hanshu grew serious upon hearing this: ”It is mentioned in the letter; Old Lv said, Xi Xi is undoubtedly the sect master of Qian Yuan Divine Sect; he’s fixated, not allowing any escape...”

Li Che heard this and couldn’t help but laugh, feeling quite delighted.

Lv Taibai was aware of Xi Xi’s identity.

He also understood the terrifying targeting that comes with her identity as the Daughter of Prison Lotus; his experiences in Qi Tian City demonstrated his knowledge of the consequences of being linked with the Daughter of Prison Lotus...

Yet he remained unswerving, determined to support Xi Xi, warming Li Che’s heart.

Seeing such trust in Xi Xi, with such high stakes placed on her, naturally, Li Che wouldn’t let Qian Yuan suffer.

”Alright, since this is the case, I will find a time to take Xi Xi back to Qian Yuan Divine Sect to complete the inauguration ceremony and inherit the sect master position.”

”However, before taking Xi Xi back to inherit the sect master position, there is an important matter to attend to.”

Rumble—

The storm continued to roar, pounding the ground, raising mist to obscure the heavens.

Then.

Li Che snapped his fingers.

A black chess piece shot out, swirling with countless black energy, rising like the tide.

Then, the chess piece twisted and expanded, transforming into a purple-clothed figure.

This was the chess piece Li Che placed beside the Emperor.

Purple-clothed Eunuch Lian.

”My Lord!”

Upon appearing, Eunuch Lian excitedly and fervently kowtowed.

Fang Hanshu was slightly stunned, instantly recognizing the figure, his expression becoming exceedingly peculiar.

Isn’t this the Emperor’s close confidant?!

Although Fang Hanshu transformed into Li Che’s Soul Capturing, regarding how many chess pieces were placed in the world... he was truly clueless.

How many Soul Capturings does our Lord have out there?!
