As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1942 - 498: How Could I Let My Daughter Draw Fire and Expose Martial Immortal Li Che in the Human World

Thus, when Li Che rose to his feet, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of bewilderment.

"Elder Li... where are you going?"

Without looking back, Li Che departed Golden Light Peak, simply gesturing with his hand.

"Taking Xi Xi to eat the loaches we caught."

Nan Lihuo did not fully grasp the meaning, but he was certain that Li Che intended to initiate something momentous.

He sighed and walked towards the doors of the Divine Palace, yet Li Che’s figure was nowhere to be seen; it had vanished long ago.

Golden Light Prefecture, situated adjacent to the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple, had long been foreseen by Nan Lihuo to face such a terrifying tribulation.

However, he had not anticipated the tremors to be even more violent than his imagination.

Xi Xi had rampaged through Golden Light Prefecture City—how many cultivators in Divine Tribulation had perished, how many Martial Saint Divine Embryos had crumbled to dust, and how much blood had stained the flagstones?

Prior to this, within Golden Light Prefecture, Divine Primordial experts already represented the pinnacle of power...

In the current turn of events, Nan Lihuo found himself unable to make a judgment; the situation had far surpassed what his own Divine Element True Person cultivation realm could discern or comprehend.

Such a battle was now far beyond his capacity to intervene; he could not even grasp its intricacies.

All he could do was offer a heartfelt prayer from the depths of his being, hoping for the safety of Li Che and Xi Xi...

...

...

Currently, Xi Xi was leading Liu Yangyuan and the others on patrol throughout Golden Light Prefecture City.

The spirited young girl proceeded with an air of arrogance, her potent Martial Saint Heavenly Person Sensing surveying the surroundings like a tempest.

Any anomaly would be etched into her awareness.

Yet, Xi Xi felt quite content, for wherever she went, the cultivators within Golden Light Prefecture City displayed fanatical devotion towards her. From this, she deduced that she, the Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, was performing commendably.

Suddenly.

Xi Xi’s ears twitched, and her large eyes blinked a few times.

At the far end of the long street, she observed Li Che, clad in a black robe, appearing with an ethereal grace, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, a gentle smile gracing his features.

"Daddy!"

Xi Xi let out a joyous cry and immediately darted forward like a bolt of lightning.

She collided headfirst into Li Che’s embrace.

Such an immense impact—for an ordinary Martial Saint, their spine would likely have been fractured.

"Come, Daddy is taking you to get the ring."

Li Che held Xi Xi, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Xi Xi nodded fervently.

Then, Li Che’s gaze swept over Liu Yangyuan and the others, and subsequently towards Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, and the rest who were providing covert protection, and he inclined his head slightly.

Feng Zhiqi, Zhao Fangzhou, and the others emerged from the shadows, cupping their fists towards Li Che.

For reasons unknown, they sensed that Elder Li was emanating an aura of terrifying dread today...

An inexplicable sense of horror that suppressed them so profoundly that their Qi-Blood seemed unable to circulate.

Li Che took Xi Xi’s hand; the tall and the small strolled along the expansive street of Golden Light Prefecture City, heading towards the outskirts.

At an unhurried, unpressed pace.

Xi Xi's eyes sparkled, her large eyes fluttering with excitement.

Father and daughter soon exited Golden Light Prefecture City and ambled along the main road, dust swirling, as if space itself were contorting, the ground continuously receding beneath their feet.

Xi Xi gazed in endless amazement at the scenery blurring past on all sides.

She tilted her head to observe Li Che beside her; today, Daddy seemed somewhat different from before.

Daddy... appeared to have adopted a serious demeanor!

Furthermore, the fact that Li Che had led Xi Xi out of Golden Light Prefecture City was swiftly noted by the scouts and informants of the various major powers, those they had positioned outside.

"This Li Che... has actually departed Golden Light Prefecture City with his daughter, Li Nuanxi?"

"Judging by this, he must be heading towards Ancestor Dragon Island..."

"Li Che is reputed to be a Horse Face of the Underworld, skilled only in mechanisms—with mere mechanisms, he dares to escort Li Nuanxi to Ancestor Dragon Island to retrieve the Qiankun Ring?"

...

Numerous experts expressed astonishment, their hearts filled with skepticism.

On the banks of the Nine Dragons River.

The river surged with immense power, and opulent carriages, as grand as palace temples, were drawn up.

Within one exceptionally luxurious Imperial Family carriage.

Noble Consort Su Da slowly lowered the carriage curtain; within her alluring, foxy eyes, an unusual expression could not help but surface.

"Master Li personally escorting Li Nuanxi to Ancestor Dragon Island... just the two of them, father and daughter? How audacious they are!"

"They aren’t even summoning Underworld experts? Or perhaps... Underworld experts are concealed in the shadows?"

"However, Ancestor Dragon Island differs from Golden Light Prefecture City. It’s akin to a Lesser Cave Heaven, directly connected to the Strange Que; Second Disaster Venerables can unleash their might without restraint."

Su Da’s eyes narrowed, her pupils darting around rapidly.

In the following moment, she cast aside further contemplation and ordered them to proceed towards Ancestor Dragon Island.

It wasn’t merely the carriage bearing Su Da and the Third Prince that was moving.

All the prominent powers were converging to witness the unfolding events; the carriages previously situated along the banks of the Nine Dragons River began to stir, cutting through the drizzling autumn rain that carried a distinct chill.

They advanced in the direction of Ancestor Dragon Island, where a mirage-like vision of the sea shimmered into view.

A shared premonition gripped everyone—nay, it was more than mere premonition!

The moment Li Nuanxi set foot upon Ancestor Dragon Island, it signaled that...

The tempest was imminent!

...

...

Ancestor Dragon Island lay nestled within the Nine Dragons River, several hundred li distant from Golden Light Prefecture City.

Despite its comparatively small size, it possessed the remarkable ability to bifurcate the Nine Dragons River, causing the waters to divide and flow around the island.

The sky above was a heavy, dark canvas, with black clouds amassed high in the heavens.

Rain was gathering within them, and when at its zenith, it would pour down in torrents.

The world felt cold and severe; the autumn winds on these autumn days were invariably lethally bleak.

The imperial road was slick with mud, yet as Li Che walked, holding Xi Xi’s small hand, not a single speck of dirt seemed to touch them.

Even the falling rain appeared to be deflected by an unseen barrier.

Li Che clasped Xi Xi’s hand. Raising his gaze, he observed Ancestor Dragon Island; from this distance, the island resembled a colossal dragon curled around a triangular pyramidal mountain.

Wisps of Mysterious Fog twisted and coiled, clearly indicating the presence of a Mysterious Temple atop Ancestor Dragon Island.

Indeed, Ancestor Dragon Island itself was a unique form of Mysterious Temple.

Buzz buzz buzz——

Li Che's gaze was sharp as steel; with a single sweep, he discerned the mountain peak where a True Dragon seemed to be coiled, and atop it, a silver ring pulsed with brilliant light.

Accompanying a low, vibrating hum.

Upon this silver ring, mystic-hued thunder continuously wove and intertwined. The descending bolts of lightning struck the island, as if a mighty dragon emitted a mournful cry.

And an aura, so potent it seemed to solidify space itself, coiled and pulsed there—this was the Divine Aura emanating from within the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring.

"Daddy... Xi Xi feels a little unwell!"

Xi Xi pouted, wriggling her small body; the flow of blood within her accelerated, her tiny heart pounding like the war drums of a Celestial God!

Her gaze was fixed on the immense silver ring suspended above Ancestor Dragon Island.

An unprecedented desire surged within her; her very consciousness felt on the verge of being seized and controlled, her body compelled to rush uncontrollably towards that island, to claim the Qiankun Ring.

The numerous Divine Weapons integrated into her body seemed to awaken completely at this moment.

The Divinity that surged forth flowed and coursed through her muscles and bones, rendering her Martial Saint physique incredibly resilient.

The Essence Qi discharged from the Martial Arts Human Pill at this juncture appeared poised to transform into a boundless ocean!

Not only that, but the Divinity spilling from the Divine Weapons was frantically pouring into her Niwan Palace at the center of her brow.

And towards that Divine Aura, it was filled with an overwhelming longing.

This was the yearning originating from the Eight-Armed, Three-Faced Hell Lotus Unbreakable Divine Image residing within the Shen Yuan Golden Elixir.

Foreordained, this Eight-Armed, Three-Faced Hell Lotus Unbeaten Divine Image would eventually metamorphose into a Divine Fetus, establishing an unprecedented resonance with this very Divine Aura!

Li Che cast a glance at Xi Xi, sensing the profound changes occurring within her.

The closer they approached, the more pronounced Xi Xi’s transformations became.

This was the potency of the Divine Armor Set.

Fusion Soldier Body Refining—merging with a single Mythical Weapon was sufficient to elevate one’s cultivation limit to the Supreme realm. To fuse with an entire Divine Armor Set...

The future possibilities were immeasurable.

Buzz——

The Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart emitted Pure Heart Divinity, assisting Xi Xi in calming this surge of impulse.

Li Che looked at Xi Xi with gentle eyes.

Xi Xi lifted her head, her eyes shining brightly as she met Li Che's gaze.

Father and daughter shared a look, a smile passing between them.

Xi Xi didn’t fully comprehend the source of her Daddy’s unwavering confidence.

However, as a daughter, words were unnecessary—choosing to place her trust in Daddy was more than enough!

Li Che held Xi Xi’s hand.

His gaze then shifted towards Ancestor Dragon Island.

In the next instant, he raised his foot and stomped down forcefully.

Boom——!!!!
