These entities possess the ability to endure for vast periods and can operate at significant distances from Li Che. Through his Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, Li Che maintains a constant sensory link to their status. Recalling them is effortless; with a mere impulse, the Soul Capturing can vanish from the Divine Capital. While they require periodic guidance, it poses no difficulty if the timing is managed correctly.
The moment Han Sixi materialized, his objectives were clear. Having operated as a Purple-clothed Monk within the Divine Capital, he was intimately familiar with his master's intentions. A staggering explosion of qi-blood erupted from him, sending violent shockwaves of energy surging outward in every direction!
A pillar of qi-blood pierced the heavens, radiating a dominating and fierce power. This was the mark of a Top-level Peak!
Lv Taibai, who had been struggling against the pressure, spun around with a trembling heart. His attention fixed on the source of the explosive aura: a mysterious figure in black robes ascending toward the sky, trailing intense and powerful qi-blood. He couldn't identify which specific Top-level Peak this was based on the aura alone. After all, the Great Vista only held a handful of such masters.
However, the identity mattered little. As long as a Top-level Peak was fighting for Qianyuan Dao City, it was enough!
"Hahahahaha..."
"Come!"
Exhilaration filled Lv Taibai. Gripping his silver-plated Taibai Sword, he unleashed a clanging Sword Qi that soared upward. He walked into the sky, his steps manifesting Sword Qi lotuses until he reached the height of the Qianyuan Dao City tower. Before the eyes of the ecstatic Divine Guard Army, he stood tall against the horizon.
Han Sixi followed him in stride. Alongside him, the three Soul Capturing Dragons—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger—donned black masks and hooded robes. After transmitting a respectful greeting to Li Che, their auras ignited simultaneously!
The energy of three more Top-level Peaks shot upward like pillars of light. Within the light, a black dragon roared as if rising from the Netherworld. A black bird spread its wings, let out a piercing cry, and unleashed crimson-black flames that warped the atmosphere. Finally, a massive black tiger manifested, sprawling across the sky.
Three more Top-level Peaks?!
Even Lv Taibai was stunned. He whipped his head around to witness the black dragon, bird, and tiger dominating the sky. "This... why does it feel so familiar?"
Lv Taibai’s eyes narrowed. He couldn't help but notice the resemblance to the Xuanwei Commanders of the Divine Capital who had been executed by the Underworld Yama. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird?!
A half-step Divine Tribulation expert and four Top-level Peaks! In an instant, the momentum that the Imperial Court had used to suppress Qianyuan Dao City began to shift. The crushing despair that had prevented any resistance was fading. Qianyuan Dao City... actually held so many hidden powerhouses?!
The onlookers were paralyzed with shock, unable to find their voices. Inside the Temple Control Bureau, the expressions on the faces of Feng Zhiqi and Wenlong Yuwen were incredibly complex.
Was this... the true strength of the Underworld?
They were already aware of Li Che's identity as the Underworld Horse Face. But the fact that he could summon four Top-level Peaks at once was staggering. Such a lineup surpassed the foundations of even a Great Divine Sect!
Fang Hanshu stroked his beard and laughed with pure, unrestrained joy. Nearby, Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia felt a wave of relief, though they looked at each other with a hint of helplessness. The Li Che of today had already climbed to heights they never could have imagined.
But the surprises weren't over.
Boom—
Another massive aura surged, and this time, the source didn't hide his face. He was plump, wearing a look of pure innocence. As his fat shook, it transformed into a vast sea of qi-blood and energy. It was Yue Huanglong! Furthermore, Yue Huanglong’s aura had reached the Top-level Peak!
Joining him was Yan Jing, the Grand Marshal of the Divine Guard Army in Qianyuan Dao City, who had successfully reached the Martial Saint Third Opening Realm! Even Fang Hanshu was dazed. He never expected these two, who were presumed dead, to be alive. And to appear at this exact moment...
Fang Hanshu whispered to himself, wondering if Yue Weizheng had killed the wrong people.
Because Yue Huanglong and Yan Jing were officials of the Grand Prospect Dynasty, Li Che chose not to hide them as Soul Capturings. He wanted their true identities to shatter the morale of the Imperial Court’s army. The Imperial Court had justified this campaign by claiming the Qian Yuan Divine Sect murdered imperial officials. Yue Huanglong’s presence made that claim a lie, instantly throwing the army into confusion.
Buzzing—
Every eye turned toward a new presence. High in the air stood a stout figure wearing a black-and-white mask, arms crossed over his chest. His eyes shone with the brilliance of the Milky Way! It was the Underworld Yama!
His qi-blood erupted like a volcanic pillar, piercing the clouds and manifesting a scorching furnace in the sky. Li Che, acting as Yama, had used a Painting Immortal Avatar to swap places with the Horse Face below. His heart burned with a murderous intent toward those who had ruined Xi Xi’s seventh birthday.
His daughter's seventh birthday... a vital milestone marking her transition to school age. Such a precious moment had been destroyed by these people!
Tonight, Li Che was consumed by the urge to kill. A standoff? Unnecessary. A battle of wills to break the enemy's spirit? He wouldn't bother. He would kill. He would fight. This time, he would make them all learn the true meaning of terror.
