As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1923 - 494: Using Your Daughter as My Weakness, Emperor Xi Xi Will Sweep Away All Enemies [Seeking Monthly Ticket]

And accompanying her was her father, a powerful presence ready to offer backing! In the mortal realm, Li Che felt capable of providing that very support now. With a Martial Saint at their side, the carriage cut through the heavy autumn rain, its swift passage bringing them with incredible speed into the territory of Golden Light Prefecture.

Rumble, rumble — The waters of the Nine Dragons River churned with increased ferocity, their roars filling the air with an almost divine dominance. It was then, midway through their journey, that Xi Xi requested the driver halt the carriage. She disembarked instantly, landing gracefully by the riverbank.

Li Che emerged from the carriage, followed by Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, and the others. They all turned their gentle gazes towards the young girl, Xi Xi. Standing atop a large boulder, Xi Xi extended her hand, plunging her fingers into the water. A palpable warmth surged from within. She then raised her hand, gathering a cascade of the turbulent river water.

"Daddy! Do you recall? When our family first arrived in Golden Light Prefecture, you did the very same thing!" Xi Xi exclaimed with a bright smile, playfully mimicking her father's past actions. It’s natural for children to emulate their parents, their first teachers, imprinting cherished memories.

Li Che folded his arms, leaning against the carriage shaft, a fond smile playing on his lips as he observed the little girl. Xi Xi bounded onto the surface of the Nine Dragons River, her steps light as she trod upon the water. Suddenly, she planted her hands on her hips and let out a mighty shout.

The sound waves rippled outwards like an explosion, surging forth with untamed power! Bang, bang, bang — The river's surface ruptured! From the depths, two Jiaoshe, filled with terror, erupted. They were dark flood dragons, possessing the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, hailing from the Four Seas Dragon Clan. Their hidden presence within the vast Nine Dragons River, a realm of water and naturally the domain of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, had been detected.

However... they had merely been observing this little girl, only for her to discover them almost immediately! "Spying on me, are you!" Xi Xi declared, hands on her hips, her nose wrinkling. "Xi Xi is the youngest sect master in the history of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect! What are your intentions in spying on me? Are you planning to seize Golden Light Prefecture?"

She huffed and puffed, then clenched her small fists, unleashing a fierce punch forward. The Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire Tip Spear manifested instantly, transforming into a purple flood dragon that coiled behind her before swiftly cleaving through the air! Puff, puff, puff! Before the two black flood dragons could even react, they were impaled by the might of the Purple Flame Serpent Spear Fire Tip Spear! Blood bloomed, and the two black flood dragons plunged back into the Nine Dragons River, dyeing its waters crimson.

Xi Xi stood poised on the river's surface, the Chaos Silk swirling around her like a tempest. Her head held high, hands on her hips, she radiated a cold, unyielding ferocity. This was her inaugural journey to Golden Light Prefecture as a sect master! Xi Xi's resolve was clear: to eradicate all enemies and make the name of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect echo throughout the land!

Without a spoken word, she had annihilated two black flood dragons, beings whose power rivaled that of a Supreme Grandmaster, yet they were utterly defenseless against her. Since breaking through to the Martial Saint realm, Xi Xi's combat prowess had indeed seen a significant enhancement. Furthermore, Xi Xi did not merely leave the bodies of the two black flood dragons. With a mere thought, the crimson Chaos Silk spun and plunged into the Nine Dragons River, retrieving the mangled remains.

"Daddy! These two black flood dragons are rare delicacies. Xi Xi will ask the shopkeeper to prepare something delicious next time!" Xi Xi declared, a happy lilt in her voice. She then transferred the bodies of the two black flood dragons into her Qiankun Space. Standing on the riverbank, Xi Xi narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping towards the distance.

Far away, where the great river touched the horizon, a solitary temple seemed to loom. Shrouded by thick, mysterious fog that churned and obscured its form, it remained separated from the world. This was the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince’s Sinister Temple! It was here that Xi Xi's destiny began to unfold. Within its mystical confines, Xi Xi received the Third Prince’s inheritance, propelling her ascension.

Now, Xi Xi had returned to this place. She clenched her small fist, a sense of anticipation mingled with profound responsibility filling her heart. It felt as though the Third Prince had once aided her, and now it was her turn to offer him assistance. Is that not how young ones support one another? Rumble, rumble — The mysterious fog swirled. Within Strange Que, multiple pairs of eyes turned, their gaze fixing upon Xi Xi. Indeed, Strange Que was a place teeming with peculiar occurrences. Situated approximately a hundred miles from the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple lay a colossal island, so immense that it had been relocated, now serving as an obstruction to the Nine Dragons River.

Carried by the formidable warriors of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, they widened the Nine Dragons River, forcefully securing Ancestor Dragon Island in its depths.

Li Che observed, as if he could perceive the intertwining and surging of countless dragon shadows, radiating immense dragon power.

"Daddy, that's Ancestor Dragon Island!" Xi Xi exclaimed, her large eyes wide with wonder.

"On that island... there is something Xi Xi wants..." Xi Xi declared.

Li Che understood Xi Xi's desire; it was the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring, the final piece of the Third Prince's legendary weapon collection. This item held great significance for Xi Xi, necessitating her personal presence for this expedition.

The procession did not tarry by the riverbank but soon entered the bustling mansion city of Golden Light Prefecture.

Upon their arrival in Golden Light Prefecture City this time, both Li Che and Xi Xi noted striking and evident transformations.

An increased number of powerful individuals were present, and diverse factions had established their presence, appearing to have partitioned the territory, effectively carving up Golden Light Prefecture City.
