As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1900: Xuan Arts Break Human Immortal Ambition, The First Supreme of the Great Dao Haoran Underworld (2)
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
A sense of parting often brings forth sentimentality.
"The Qian Yuan Divine Sect... is entrusted to your family."
Lv Taibai declared generously.
He lifted his gaze towards the grand and imposing gates of Qianyuan Taoist City, a flicker of emotion stirring within him.
This parting, he was uncertain of the return date, or if a return would even be possible...
A measure of reluctance lingered in his heart.
However...
A true man must traverse the world with a sword, severing all inner grievances!
The pent-up anger from years of training, now was the time to unleash it without restraint!
"Let us depart!"Lv Taibai signaled Li Che with a wave. Then, with a final wave to the Sect Master’s Wife perched on his shoulder, he turned and stepped into the autumn rain, as if measuring the expanse of the world.
"The journey ahead is long; may we meet again!"
Li Che’s Mo Shan robe fluttered as he clasped his fists in a respectful bow.
He watched Lv Taibai’s figure gradually recede.
A faint smile touched Li Che’s lips. Then, with a thought, his fingers closed around the Thunder Chess Piece, and he abruptly vanished from his position.
The scattered autumn rain seemed to brush past a fleeting afterimage, but the shadow had long since gone.
...
...
Li Che materialized at the mountain entrance of the Qingyun Road, within the Xuanfu Divine Sect’s domain.
The Imperial Court’s expeditionary force, blades already honed, was likely bolstering their spirits by potentially crushing two Great God Sects.
The setback encountered during the assault on Qian Yuan Divine Sect felt considerably less significant now.
Gu Qianchi, the Grandmaster of the Bashu Sword Pavilion, also seemed in better spirits, marching with the army, his morale soaring.
Although Gu Qianchi pondered why Xie Yushen had set his sights on the Little Lingyin Temple, it was by no means an easy Divine Sect to subdue.
If one were to disregard the enigmatic Purple Bamboo Forest, the Little Lingyin Temple's might was second only to that of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.
Even with the assistance of the Underworld...
Uh...
Gu Qianchi couldn’t help but recall the now-renowned Earthly Ghost Emperor.
That individual was a Mortal Martial Immortal!
Single-handedly holding the Qitian Inner City Gate, trapping three Supremes within the Inner City’s confines, and preventing the formidable figures from the Strange Que’s Three Great Gods Camps from daring to emerge.
Such a presence...
Merely contemplating it sent waves of unparalleled admiration through Gu Qianchi.
If the Earthly Ghost Emperor had lent their aid, dismantling Little Lingyin Temple would have been a simple matter.
Alas...
The Underworld possessed but one Ghost Emperor, and this Mortal Martial Immortal had only recently achieved their breakthrough.
Furthermore, martial world whispers suggested that the Earthly Ghost Emperor... had exhausted their power, teetering on the brink of death.
Therefore, without the Ghost Emperor, could the Underworld truly contend against the Little Lingyin Temple, which found backing in the Western Regions Buddha Land?
After all, this campaign to besiege and decimate the sect could inadvertently escalate into a conflict between the Western Regions Buddha Land and the Grand Prospect Dynasty!
Grandmaster Huang Mei had initially been part of the expeditionary force, but now... following Xie Yushen’s declaration to lay siege to Little Lingyin Temple, he had taken his leave.
Ultimately, as the former sect master of Little Lingyin Temple, he must have been quite taken aback to learn of his sect’s impending assault?
"However... is there still a chance of success in this siege?"
Gu Qianchi narrowed his eyes. The Underworld... was far too mysterious, too inscrutable.
It was no wonder he was the National Master, Xie Yushen, to be able to forge an alliance with the Underworld. To this day, Gu Qianchi could not fathom how Xie Yushen had forged this connection, or how he had persuaded the Underworld to cooperate.
Did his eloquence suffice?
Within the encampment.
Li Che appeared as if from nowhere, donning a Cute Bull Mask.
Xie Yushen clasped his fists and offered a low bow.
"Make preparations, and set forth."
Li Che's physique was exceptionally robust, his formidable physical form nearly straining his clothes, revealing well-defined muscle contours.
Xie Yushen looked up, gently fanning himself with a feather fan, and chuckled, "Very well."
Subsequently, Li Che provided a concise account of Lv Taibai’s circumstances, requesting Xie Yushen to maintain vigilance while attacking Little Lingyin Temple.
"Rest assured, the primary assault, all of it rests with me."
Xie Yushen smiled faintly.
Li Che nodded, then activated the Slumbering Dragon Elephant, appearing as though he had merged with the void.
He quietly observed Xie Yushen issuing commands, leaving a contingent of guards behind while reinforcing the expedition against Xiling Road with the elite Divine Guard Army previously stationed at Qingyun Dao City!
With Xie Yushen's army providing backup, should Lv Taibai truly encounter peril on Xiling Road, he should be capable of managing the situation.
Li Che had bestowed upon Xie Yushen the qualification to master the Ten Vicious Ink Splashes, granting him the ability to summon the two peerless calamities, [Sea Flipping Nine Infants] and [Strange Power Zhu Huai], at any moment!
With these two calamitous beings, immune to the annihilating force of the Heaven and Earth Will, the expeditionary army proceeded with unparalleled might!
It mattered not how strongly the Little Lingyin Temple was supported by the Western Regions Buddha Land!
Li Che's gaze was grave.
A deep-seated animosity resided within him towards the Little Lingyin Temple of Xiling Road. This hostility stemmed primarily from their association with the Evil Buddha, and secondarily, from the Prison Lotus curse that bound Xi Xi to them.
Consequently, Li Che unleashed an unbridled wave of killing intent this time.
He commanded Xie Yushen to...
Annihilate everything in their path!
If they meet a Buddha...
Slay the Buddha!
... The directive was clear and brutal.
...
Lv Taibai departed stealthily, ensuring no alarm was raised within the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
The majority, Xi Xi included, believed Lv Taibai was in deep seclusion, consolidating his Divine Tribulation cultivation and aiming for a higher realm. Consequently, his departure was as inconspicuous as a clear sky, entirely unnoticed.
Lately, Xi Xi has been occupied with numerous responsibilities. With Lv Taibai officially removed from the scene, a multitude of affairs now fell upon the eight-year-old girl's shoulders. Despite Ding Zi's attentive guidance, she still found herself struggling to manage it all.
Yet, Xi Xi appeared to relish these new duties, perhaps finding fulfillment in this burgeoning sense of responsibility.
