As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1907 - 490: The Ghost Emperor at the End of His Rope Seeks Death; Only the Hunter Supreme Victorious Has the Right to Dance [Monthly Ticket]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Fang Hanshu continued to diligently fortify his Supreme cultivation base.
Li Che then departed from Qi Tian City, making his way back to the esteemed Qianyuan Taoist City.
Within the confines of the Elder Court, the doors of the study were pushed open, and Li Che emerged.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ya was seen in the courtyard, evidently drenched in sweat. The Sect Master, Xi Xi, had been summoned to Emperor Xi Peak to attend to pressing matters.
Daily missives arrived from Golden Light Prefecture, detailing an increasingly dire situation. This news caused Xi Xi to pout, her heart heavy with distress.
Nevertheless, a spark of eagerness resided within Xi Xi; she eagerly awaited developments on her father's end, anticipating his successful completion of the Triple Cannon's upgrade.
Once the formidable cannon was within her grasp, Xi Xi harbored plans to immediately set forth for Golden Light Prefecture!
"Husband!" Zhang Ya exclaimed, her expression shifting to one of evident concern as she noticed Li Che emerging from the study.
Even a mere drifter within the Sect like Zhang Ya had become aware of the grim circumstances in Golden Light Prefecture. The entirety of Qianyuan Taoist City had been inundated with news concerning the region, primarily due to the escalating chaos.
The aggressive encroachments and partitioning by various factions had led to a complete breakdown of order in Golden Light Prefecture. Furthermore, major powers were covertly working to dismantle the authority Qianyuan Taoist City had painstakingly built over many years in that territory.
"Xi Xi might have to venture to Golden Light Prefecture... I've heard the situation there is perilous now, with the complex power dynamics between various forces. Even the Master of the Leaving Fire Sect is struggling to maintain control..."
Zhang Ya voiced her concerns with a palpable sense of worry.
"Rest assured, my dear wife. With me by your side..."
Li Che offered a reassuring smile, gently stroking Zhang Ya's head.
"As her father, I will undoubtedly ensure Xi Xi's safety."
Zhang Ya's luminous eyes sparkled as she nodded with deep conviction, placing her complete faith in Li Che.
Consequently, upon hearing Li Che's words, her heart was entirely set at ease.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Ya, Li Che proceeded to Taibai Peak, which had recently been renamed Emperor Xi Peak.
Taibai Hall, too, had undergone a transformation, now known as Emperor Xi Palace.
A considerable number of elders had convened within Emperor Xi Palace, engrossed in a crucial discussion.
As Li Che entered, every elder's gaze immediately shifted towards him.
After all, Li Che stood as the most formidable overt presence within the Qian Yuan Divine Sect at that moment!
He commanded the Divine Realm Mechanism Beast, positioning him as an equal to a patriarch-level figure and the unwavering pillar of support for Xi Xi, the Qianyuan Sect Master.
During the meeting, Li Che remained largely silent, refraining from voicing any personal opinions.
The ultimate consensus reached by the council was unequivocal: a strategic retreat was out of the question. Golden Light Prefecture was to be defended at all costs and under no circumstances abandoned. Xi Xi, in her capacity as the Qianyuan Divine Sect Master, would lead a delegation including Elders Zhao Fangzhou, Feng Zhiqi, Tang Xiejia, and others to station themselves in Golden Light Prefecture, thereby safeguarding its order.
The departure was slated for three days hence.
Li Che raised no objections and readily endorsed the decision.
Xi Xi was overcome with immense joy. Following the conclusion of the meeting, upon receiving the upgraded Triple Cannon from Li Che, her excitement reached a fever pitch, and she was observed darting around Emperor Xi Peak with jubilant cries.
"Sect Master, please maintain your composure..."
The gentle Elder Ding Zi called out from behind her, gently reminding Xi Xi to uphold the dignified demeanor expected of a sect master.
After entrusting the mechanism to Xi Xi and issuing a stern warning about the terrifying destructive power of the enhanced Triple Cannon, urging extreme caution in its deployment,
Li Che returned to the contemplative solitude of the Elder Court.
He then attended to his wife, Zhang Ya, caring for her physical well-being, before re-entering his study.
Gurgle gurgle...
Within the study, the intense heat from the furnace churned relentlessly, its boiling a ceaseless symphony.
The maple tree standing in the courtyard had fully donned its crimson autumn attire, its leaves resembling dancing flames.
Li Che closed his eyes, only to reopen them moments later.
The monumental Heaven and Earth chessboard unfurled before him.
Upon the chessboard, an intricate tapestry of ink-like mist seemed to interweave, gradually coalescing into the forms of three Supreme beings.
These were the formidable Supremes hailing from Qi Tian Inner City.
They were Black Sumeru Jia Lou, Dark Heavenly Court Xuanzhen, and the Deceit Demon Cave's Sky Wolf!
As his gaze swept over the depicted countenances of the three Supremes presented before him,
Li Che's black robes billowed, his dark hair whipped about in the wind, and his eyes intently surveyed the figures.
It was as if he were pondering, considering which of these three Supremes, in collaboration with Fang Hanshu, would facilitate the most expedient completion of the hunt...
Finally.
Li Che's dark irises slowly shifted, settling upon the last figure depicted.
"It is you..."
"Sky Wolf Demon God Supreme!"
