As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1624 - 428: Taibai Enters the Tribulation, Old Dragon God Is Summoned, Dream Master Sheds Again, Dream Butterfly Meets Da Xixi Once More [Monthly Ticket Request]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Mr. Lian had never imagined that his journey to Qianyuan Daoist City, tasked with delivering the Emperor's imperial decree, would mark his final moments in the mortal realm.
Confronting the horrifying entity that burst forth from the Fengdu Gate of the Underworld, possessing a level surpassing even that of Underworld Yama.
He truly believed there was zero possibility of making it out alive.
A Divine Tribulation!
Undeniably, this creature surpassed even a Divine Tribulation existence!
Mr. Lian dropped to his knees on the ground, overwhelmed by the crushing aura that slammed into him like relentless ocean surges, battering his frame and nearly choking the breath from his lungs.
An aura so horrifying that even the Grandmaster of the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect or a Divine Tribulation expert like Zhao Beidou couldn't unleash something this intense.
Mr. Lian slumped to the ground in a kneeling position, his eyes bulging wide despite himself, sweat pouring out, only to be instantly vaporized by the scorching heat sizzling inside the tent.
Every part of his body quivered with sheer terror!
The Underworld... far more profound than anyone could fathom!
Figures such as Xie Yun Shen and Grandmaster Huang Mei serve as concealed agents of the Underworld; how many others lurk in the shadows?
How many additional individuals conceal their true allegiance as enemies of the Underworld?
Impossible to comprehend, completely beyond imagination!
Mr. Lian's power isn't feeble by any means, yet in this instant, he lacked even the will to fight back.
He remained kneeling on the ground...
Utterly forlorn and adrift.
"Your Majesty, this servant... can no longer attend to you."
...
...
Delicate snowflakes drifted elegantly from the vast heavens above.
Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Within the study room.
Li Che's figure materialized once more, violet flames flickering above his head, the golden skull underneath those fires gleaming with skeletal purity.
His fingers splayed out, gripping the raging purple fire on his skull, tugging as though stripping away a disguise, causing the blaze to withdraw immediately, flesh and blood reforming, lustrous black locks emerging again, swaying like underwater fronds in the flow of spiritual energy.
He snapped his finger.
A dark chess piece drifted upward, swiftly morphing and growing, shifting into Mr. Lian who lowered his head in utmost reverence, full of zeal, and total submission.
In the past, the devoted, passionate, and compliant Mr. Lian reserved such behavior solely for the Emperor.
Yet at present, Mr. Lian directed the identical attitude toward Li Che.
At this point, within Mr. Lian's thoughts...
His master is the Emperor!
Our family... now possesses a new Emperor!
Gazing upon Mr. Lian, who displayed even greater deference than typical soul capturings, Li Che had initially pondered that if this steadfast old eunuch resisted yielding, it would spell his end.
An elderly eunuch bearing the Emperor's decree, akin to an official imperial messenger, whose demise could spark considerable trouble.
Nevertheless, those concerns have vanished entirely now.
"Excellent... return now, and keep up your role along with your duties."
"Should the moment arise when I call upon you, I expect the blade in your grasp to strike true into the Emperor's chest."
Li Che uttered calmly.
Mr. Lian's gaze sparkled: "This servant shall exert every effort to avoid disappointing the Lord!"
Following that, Li Che gestured with his hand, and Mr. Lian's form dissolved into a beam of light, vanishing away, condensing back into a soul capturing, heading off to the imperial army's encampment.
With everything accomplished, Li Che settled into the seat, poured a steaming cup of tea for himself, and sipped it slowly with delight.
The view inside his energy core stirred, soon after, visions began to surface.
A fragment of his awareness persistently monitored Xi Xi's cultivation advancement, so the visions displayed were of Xi Xi's ongoing practice.
Xi Xi along with her group had departed from Guangling Dao, recalling the humiliation suffered on Guangling Dao, they vowed thirty years in the East River, thirty years in the West River, and set their course northward.
Maybe because they had endured the contempt and wickedness of Guangling Dao, Xi Xi's team decided to prioritize fulfilling Li Che's given mission first.
Transporting those devices to the True Martial Divine Sect in Tongyou Land.
However, Xi Xi might have overlooked how conspicuous her status as the Young Sect Master of Qian Yuan Divine Sect truly was.
During their travels, Xi Xi and her allies faced a sudden ambush.
Shocking Xi Xi out of her tedium!
"Oh, there's some excitement!"
Xi Xi's eyes brightened, harboring no resentment toward the Godhunting Pavilion killers intent on her life, and instead feeling a touch of appreciation.
Grateful to them for injecting some thrill into this monotonous trip.
Without delay, Xi Xi proceeded to eliminate these attackers.
Although, throughout the path, numerous assailants surfaced, not limited to the Godhunting Pavilion, but including hitmen and slayers from diverse aristocratic houses and sects.
Most alarmingly, the Corpse God Cult was involved too!
As Xi Xi confronted an onslaught from the Corpse God Cult, she spotted them right away; her familiarity with the Corpse God Cult ran deep.
The Spirit Infant Sect connects directly to the Corpse God Cult, one could argue their household had dwelled beneath the Corpse God Cult's menace from a young age.
Therefore, Xi Xi harbored deep dislike for the Corpse God Cult.
Her strikes proved ruthless, the wicked followers of the Corpse God Cult were almost smashed into bloody mush!
"Great Sister, come help me!"
Xi Xi wielded the Immortal Artisan Gatling, blasting a few of the Corpse God’s Cursed Silver Corpses into shreds, before releasing a deep breath.
A shadow lingered unavoidably in her heart.
Sister pays no heed to Xi Xi, disregarding Xi Xi's wishes and yearnings.
Xi Xi pondered utilizing the power of that concealed elder sister inside her to become stronger, to bolster her own abilities.
