As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1869 - 482: Boss, You Are the Wonderous Way Manifest Saint Three-Eyed True Lord—How Many Soul Capturing Spirits Does the Lord Have Outside?...

Deep within the Inner City, the formidable experts of the All Gods Camp maintained a constant vigil over the Human Martial Immortal Ghost Emperor. Having reached an unparalleled state of exhaustion after burning intensely, their fiery essence dwindled, and the light in their eyes began to fade, suggesting an imminent demise.

However, as the days wore on, the predicted end of the Ghost Emperor, eagerly anticipated by the All Gods Camp, failed to materialize. Instead, a curious anomaly occurred in the Heavenly Dome, manifesting as the Martial Immortal's fall approximately every ten days. This recurring event stirred the spirits of the Inner City's experts. They would gloat and eagerly extend their Dao Souls from within the Inner City, anticipating the final moment of the Ghost Emperor's downfall. Yet, with each observation, the Ghost Emperor clung to existence with a tenacity that defied expectation, refusing to perish!

Meanwhile, within the confines of the Inner City, a resentful Divine Tribulation seized this moment of apparent weakness and initiated a probing attack during the quiet of the night. In response, four rounds of the Vast Sun ascended once more, unleashing terrifying fist lights, and reigniting the flames of Qi and blood!

The probing First Calamity Divine Tribulation was utterly annihilated, exploding into a shower of blood mist! Exhausted, truly, utterly spent...

Under the hardened gazes of countless experts within the Inner City, the Earthly Ghost Emperor once again fell silent, appearing to teeter on the brink of death. From that point forward, the experts of the All Gods Camp hesitated to initiate any further tests. Positioned at the gates of Qi Tian Inner City, the desolate Earthly Ghost Emperor sat in quiet solitude. For a radius of ten miles, the area transformed into a forbidden zone, where no one dared to venture too close, fearing annihilation by a single, re-ignited punch from the Ghost Emperor.

Time continued to flow amidst this tense stalemate. Qi Tian City gradually seemed to settle back into a semblance of stability. Fang Hanshu, while diligently refining the Confining God Power, also assimilated the empowerment bestowed by the ancestral master. He successfully completed the stewardship of Qi Tian City, issuing orders with newfound efficiency. Numerous Confining Gods emerged from Mo City Fengdu, extending their assistance to Fang Hanshu in overseeing Qi Tian City.

The reconstruction of the Equal Heaven Temple was more than just a proclamation; Fang Hanshu rallied the martial artists and cultivators who had been displaced by the aggression of the All Gods Camp. Fang Hanshu required a capable workforce, and Li Che, at his command, summoned one Confining God after another to provide crucial assistance.

It was undeniable that a scholar's mind possessed remarkable flexibility. Under Fang Hanshu's guidance, the Qitian Outer City began to regain its former vibrancy. Cultivators returned, and even refugees from various states and cities across Jiangnan Dao arrived to seek refuge and contribute to Qi Tian City. Despite the chaos that had gripped Qi Tian City over the preceding year, Fang Hanshu’s leadership had astoundingly restored order.

Fang Hanshu spearheaded the reconstruction of the Equal Heaven Temple, and Li Che, with great generosity, provided the accumulated heritage from the Night Bat Demon God. This act served as a powerful incentive, attracting numerous cultivators who joined the temple, bringing their cultivation Dharmas and Martial Arts as their offering. As spring yielded to summer, the passage of time mirrored the changing seasons.

In the blink of an eye, three months later, summer had arrived. Li Che’s family lived in peaceful harmony within Qi Tian City. Xi Xi diligently pursued her cultivation, with Zhang Ya practicing alongside her daughter. Li Che, meanwhile, savored a tranquil and deeply fulfilling life. His days were occupied with practicing martial arts, refining his divine soul, carving Divine Sculptures, and researching intricate mechanisms—a life of immense satisfaction.

Of course, the greatest joy he derived was from spending time with his wife and daughter, cherishing their peaceful existence. Qi Tian City provided a profound sense of seclusion from the outside world, while simultaneously, the external circumstances continued to evolve. Regarding the broader landscape, the strategic pieces Li Che had meticulously placed began to yield significant results.

Commander Xie Yun led the Imperial Court's expeditionary force in a full-scale assault against the Xuanfu Divine Sect. Under Li Che's covert maneuvering, the Xuanfu Divine Sect found itself defenseless, its Mountain Gate breached. Similarly, the Qingyun Daoxuan Fu Shen Sect, disgraced, witnessed Sect Master Xuanjiu forced to depart. However, upon Xie Yun's advance, he decisively returned. Regrettably, his return could not alter the grim reality. In this decisive battle, the Xuanfu Ancestor revealed his ultimate form, utilizing all the disciples of the Xuanfu Divine Sect as Talisman Seeds. He crafted Divine Talismans, siphoned their essence, and consolidated it all within himself, ascending to the One Disaster Three Tribulations Divine Tribulation Divine Talisman Demi Immortal Realm!

The returning Sect Master Xuanjiu was utterly aghast. The very Talisman Seed within him erupted, and had it not been for Lv Taibai's timely intervention, he would have perished on the spot. Lv Taibai observed the unfolding tragedy with cold detachment, choosing not to intervene in the fate of the Xuanfu Divine Sect. Not only was it questionable whether he could have saved them, but the Xuanfu Divine Sect had previously ignored Qian Yuan's plea for aid, and Lv Taibai harbored no inclination towards benevolence. Furthermore, the situation was beyond any hope of salvation.

After rescuing Xuanjiu, Lv Taibai discovered that the Xuanfu Divine Sect was left with a devastating scene: only elders and disciples remained, their bodies drained by Talisman Seeds, now reduced to mere rotten flesh...

A sickening spectacle, with blood qi spiraling violently into the air!

Xie Yun gracefully fanned his feather fan, a mournful expression gracing his features.

As for the wicked Xuanfu Ancestor, who had resorted to heinous methods to cultivate the entire Xuanfu Divine Sect and reach the Divine Talisman Demi-Immortal Realm, he let out a mournful sigh.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a black chess piece was launched, abruptly transforming into a peerlessly ferocious beast from the Second Calamity Realm!

The Strange Power Zhu Huai roared, its demonic qi billowing, ferociously unleashing the human world's will, bringing forth calamities as punishment.

However, Strange Power Zhu Huai remained unfazed, dispatching the Xuanfu Ancestor within a few moves. Though Zhu Huai was also consumed by the calamity power originating from the human earthly will, to Zhu Huai, it was merely a swift return to the city.

With these events, the Qingyun Daoxuan Fu Shen Sect was utterly annihilated.

Xie Yun trod upon the broken remains scattered along the mountain path, the flow of blood unceasing.

A deep sigh escaped his lips.

Stationed at the summit of Xuanfu Divine Sect Mountain, he produced a small tripod, then uncorked a gourd to pour the Rain Root Water. He offered three bows and nine prostrations to heaven and earth, seeking audience with the mountains and rivers, thereby gathering Mountain and River Fate!
