As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1501 - 402: The Nine Nether Gate Opens—Living Buddha Turns into Black Buddha, the Eighth Qi Gate Targets a Total Massacre [Monthly Ticket Requested]...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
The Sect Masters of the Five Great Divine Sects had assembled.
By relying solely on its own influence, Qianyuan Dao City...
Had managed to draw in such an incredible gathering of masters!
It was truly breathtaking.
The power of the Dao could actually reach such heights!
It was no marvel that the Imperial Court sought to crush Qianyuan Dao City; it had truly become a terrifying threat!
Standing upon the warship's deck.
Guard Ning An, wearing a grim expression, stood vigilantly to protect the National Master, Xie Yushen, whose robes fluttered in the wind.
"National Master! I sense killing intent!"
Ning An’s features were rigid, his Qi-Blood churning violently, while a look of extreme dread filled his eyes.
National Master Xie Yushen narrowed his gaze, staring at the sky above the watchtower of the Dao City.
There, the Little Ying Dragon King—a Half-step Supreme Mechanism Beast—hovered in the air, radiating an intense aura of danger.
National Master Xie Yushen was quite familiar with this particular Mechanism Beast.
Li Che had utilized this Half-step Supreme Mechanism Beast, which possessed power rivaling a Peak Martial Saint, to dominate the Heroic Victory Conference and claim the title of Heroic Leader.
"Li Che..."
Xie Yushen’s feather fan began to sway gently once more.
"What exactly did he find within the Ten-thousand-year-old Peach Garden?"
The National Master fell into deep thought.
The Emperor had been uncharacteristically stubborn, giving him firm orders to lead the surrendered Divine Sects and coordinate with Ji Moli for a unified assault on Qianyuan Dao City.
Furthermore, he was specifically commanded to take Li Che alive!
The official reason provided was that Li Che had insulted the Emperor’s dignity during the Flat Peach Victory Meeting in the Divine Capital.
Additionally, it was claimed that Li Che was actually Horse Face, one of the Evils of the Earthly Hell, and had to be captured and returned to the Divine Capital.
However, the perceptive Xie Yushen immediately sensed something unusual, as the Emperor’s fixation on Li Che seemed far too intense.
"Regardless of the reason, capturing Li Che... remains the highest priority."
Xie Yushen exhaled slowly.
He turned his gaze toward the battle of giants occurring in the night sky, his expression darkening.
Gu Changqing had been slain, and on the side of Qianyuan, Yue Huanglong and a mysterious high-level Peak expert from the Underworld had perished, yet he felt no sense of triumph.
Even with the addition of Grandmaster Huang Mei to their ranks, he could not find it in himself to be happy...
A faint, creeping sense of dread continued to linger in his mind.
He observed that the cultivators from the Underworld appeared to be completely devoid of fear...
But even those who are fearless... can still be killed!
Hadn't Yue Huanglong and that mysterious Underworld expert just died?
They were obliterated by the combined might of the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect Elders!
Still, Xie Yushen felt that something was fundamentally wrong.
"National Master..."
"He looks as though he is waiting for something!"
Guard Ning An gripped the hilt of his long sword, his entire body trembling slightly as if he were being stalked by death itself, feeling his hair stand on end.
That sensation of being marked for death was overwhelming; as the personal guard of the National Master, Ning An’s cultivation was formidable. Though he did not match the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect, he was still a Supreme Grandmaster.
In the past, the National Master’s protection was the responsibility of the two Elders; Ning An had been a child raised by the National Master, naturally becoming the guard tasked with his master’s safety as he matured.
The National Master had allowed him to take this position without objection.
Xie Yushen also felt that murderous intent converging from every direction.
"He is imitating my tactics..."
"Just as I intended to use Ji Moli, the two Elders, and the presence of the various Divine Sect Masters to overwhelm Qianyuan Dao City and break their spirit, this Li Che... intends to use the same strategy to strike terror into us!"
National Master Xie Yushen took a long breath.
However, Xie Yushen’s eyes flickered with doubt; he suspected Li Che had realized something, which was why he hadn't attacked yet.
But...
That was impossible!
Given Li Che’s level of cultivation, how could he possibly have noticed!
...
...
The Buddha Light shone without end, pouring down in waves and creating a tranquil atmosphere that drained away the will to fight.
Grandmaster Huang Mei approached with a look of benevolence, his hands pressed together. The massive Buddha manifestation behind him moved in synchronization with his steps, exerting a crushing weight of immense pressure!
"Yama of the Underworld, allow the Buddha to be your guide!"
Grandmaster Huang Mei declared in a booming voice.
As he took a step forward, the Buddha behind him groaned with power.
Meanwhile, Li Che—hidden behind the Yama Mask with eyes as calm as a still pool—connected his mind with Huang Mei.
"Lord, is it time to strike?!"
Huang Mei’s Spirit Capture transmission vibrated across the Heaven and Earth chessboard.
"If this poor monk reveals his full power, my cover will surely be blown; it would then be nearly impossible to target Ji Moli again."
Huang Mei pointed out.
Even though he was a Spirit Capture, Li Che's Power of Spirit Capture had evolved alongside his Pure Heart Dao Fruit. This meant the spirits retained clearer consciousness and their original life experiences.
Huang Mei’s insight caused Li Che’s gaze to shift slightly.
It was true; he had worked hard to plant a spy next to Ji Moli, intending to strike at the man's heart when the moment was right.
It would be a waste to throw that advantage away now.
Even if Ji Moli could manifest a Half-step Divine Tribulation and command the power of Dao Yun Tribulation Fire...
Huang Mei’s own peak strength was also considered Half-step Divine Tribulation, and he commanded the power of Dao Yun Tribulation Thunder!
Li Che’s thoughts raced.
In an instant, the Heaven and Earth chessboard began to shake and rumble. Following Li Che’s new plan, Huang Mei moved forward; lotus flowers of Buddha Light bloomed in the air, though he kept his true aura suppressed.
Boom——
The Mo City Fengdu appeared abruptly, even if it was only a gateway.
Li Che intended to pull the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect into the Mo City Fengdu to finish them off; inside Fengdu, Huang Mei would have no need to hide his true cultivation!
Rumble——
As Fengdu descended, violent currents of air exploded and swirled in a chaotic mess!
The God Demon phantom created by the Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect let out a wicked laugh and quickly flickered away, refusing to be trapped within the confines of Fengdu!
