"Move!"
"They are gaining on us!"
Xi Xi’s pupils contracted as her focus sharpened.
Beneath her feet, the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel began to revolve with violent speed. A rhythmic clanging erupted incessantly as turbulent airwaves surged and merged. Sparks flew from the rapid spinning, and the very atmosphere seemed to ripple and tear under the force of the rotation.
A protective, invisible barrier of air encased her companions. Suddenly, they vaulted into the heavens, streaking across the snowy expanse at a staggering velocity.
Swish, swish, swish——
Within the boundaries of Guangling Dao City, the whistling sound of bodies piercing the sky rang out repeatedly.
A formidable Heavenly Person Sensing and the Heaven and Earth Soul swept outward, blanketing the area.
It was evident that a Martial Saint and a Divine Fetus had been deployed simultaneously, tasked with the mission to track and seize Xi Xi.
Boom——!!!
Clad in his Alchemy Master’s robes, Gu Chuan stood with his hands locked behind his back. He traversed the distance horizontally, his suffocating Martial Saint Qi-Blood seemingly enough to liquefy the falling snow.
Beside Gu Chuan, a slender figure with fluttering robes moved in tandem, eyes narrowed in concentration.
Beneath the heavy, leaden clouds,
Their vision was as piercing as an eagle's, scanning every inch of the white plains below with meticulous care.
However, the blizzard was exceptionally heavy, and the combination of the thick forest and the fading light served to mask many details.
Yet, the Heavenly Person Sensing and Heaven and Earth Soul of a Martial Saint and a Divine Fetus were incredibly potent. They combed through the terrain like a fine-toothed carpet, scrutinizing every leaf and shadow.
"Qianyuan Young Master Li Nuanxi... a genuine demonic young dragon. I never expected her to show herself in Guangling Dao City..."
"Her signature is far too distinct. The Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel is a treasure that no one else in this world could possess."
"When Gu He from my Sect went to challenge her for the status of Lv Taibai’s direct disciple, he was crushed and suppressed. It is clear that this girl's Cultivation talent is frighteningly high."
"If such a girl is caught... her essence blood could be extracted for alchemy and presented to the grandmaster. Perhaps... the grandmaster would be delighted with such a masterpiece of human medicine!"
A flicker of predatory joy crossed Gu Chuan’s face.
Since Sect Master Gu Changqing fell during the assault on Qianyuan Dao City, the news had already reached the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect...
If Gu Chuan could win the grandmaster's favor, he might actually have the opportunity to contest for the position of Sect Master.
Though the chances were slim...
A man must have ambitions; without them, is one any better than a salted fish?!
"She is hiding quite well... she must have inherited the true teachings of the Underworld, likely that strange Art of Teleportation and a potent Breath Concealment technique... quite troublesome."
"Search thoroughly. Do not let her slip away."
"Such a succulent prey has walked right to us; we must enjoy this hunt."
Gu Chuan let out a frigid laugh.
He and the Divine Fetus split up to continue the pursuit from different directions.
Boom——!
Gu Chuan’s form slammed onto the snow, his powerful Heavenly Person Sensing radiating outward in a constant search.
"I have you!"
Gu Chuan detected the faint, lingering heat trails in the atmosphere.
"Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel..."
"Truly an exquisite Divine Weapon."
Gu Chuan inhaled deeply.
He lunged forward.
Boom——!!!
In an instant.
The frozen ground shattered into fragments as massive amounts of snow erupted!
Martial Saint Yuan Gang surged from Gu Chuan’s body, twisting and roaring like a multitude of enraged dragons.
He struck out with incredible speed.
From high above, it looked as if the earth itself had been sliced open by a gargantuan canyon!
He was fierce, savage, and as unstoppable as a primordial beast!
...
...
Gurgle gurgle——
Water bubbled on the charcoal stove, with emerald tea leaves dancing within the swirling liquid.
Li Che sat in his chair, his eyelids drooping slightly.
Through the vision, he witnessed Xi Xi clutching her knees, weeping with such misery and sorrow. When had his little girl ever cried so heartwrenchingly?
As her father, the sight was almost unbearable to witness.
Xi Xi possessed a gentle heart, but the world is often defined by helplessness; no one can save everyone.
The goal of such experiences is growth—the tempering of one's wisdom and perspective.
This hardship might ultimately provide Xi Xi with the necessary strength to mature.
Li Che deemed it a necessary trial.
"Martial Saint Gu Chuan..."
Li Che’s eyes narrowed further.
This man was a First Level Martial Saint, specifically in the Human Core Realm.
Long ago, during a chance meeting with the Two-Minded Great Sage, he had tried to compete with Li Che. However, Gu Chuan’s talent was unremarkable; Li Che had never truly acknowledged him or viewed him as a peer.
"Being hunted by a Martial Saint..."
"Xi Xi, how will you handle this?"
Li Che remained in his chair, pouring a cup of tea. He divided his consciousness, watching the events unfold through the Heaven and Earth chessboard with a calm gaze.
Much like her, Li Che had never personally felt the sensation of being chased by a First-Open Martial Saint.
This was because Li Che was always the aggressor.
When he wore his mask, he was detached and ruthless, capable of slaying even a First-Open Martial Saint without a second thought.
While he monitored Xi Xi and the others facing the pursuit, Li Che himself began his transition into the Four-Open Martial Saint Realm!
Utilizing one Fourth-rank Upper Heavenly Martial Pill after another, his Qi-Blood expanded rapidly under the influence of the medicine. On the symbolic mountain of Martial Arts, Li Che had already reached the peak.
Throughout this process, Li Che remained patient.
He slowly built up his Qi-Blood reserves.
He was also gathering momentum. Li Che understood that attempting to break through to the Martial Path Four-Open was a monumental challenge.
His journey was far more grueling than that of others. He wished to stand at the summit not merely because his mountain was tall, but because the path he took was incredibly steep.
Reaching the top required far more grit than anyone else.
The path of Pure Martial... is fundamentally arduous.
And Li Che was chasing the most extreme manifestation of that Martial Path.
