As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1502 - 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...
Qianyuan Dao City faces a massive siege as National Master Xie Yushen leads a coalition of Divine Sects and the Imperial Court to capture Li Che alive. Despite the loss of several top-tier experts in the chaotic night sky battle, Xie Yushen senses an unsettling fearlessness from the Underworld forces. Meanwhile, Grandmaster Huang Mei maintains his facade of benevolence while secretly communicating with Li Che through Spirit Capture. To protect Huang Mei’s cover and eliminate the Imperial Court's two powerful elders, Li Che summons the portal to Mo City Fengdu, attempting to draw his enemies into a realm where his allies can unleash their full power without restraint.

The uncertainty of what lies within that city hung heavy in the air!

Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect possessed immense combat experience, ensuring the Underworld Yama found no opening to exploit.

A sharp glint flashed in Li Che’s eyes.

As he raised his hand, the [Lei-Ci Dao Body] Dao Fruit pulsed violently within his chest. He clenched his fist with such force that his fingers seemed to sink into the very fabric of space.

Prison Thunder Sky Net!

Divine Firmament Thunder erupted, weaving dark bolts of lightning into a massive, instantaneous cage that trapped both Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect inside!

"Divine Firmament Thunder?!"

The unmistakable aura of the Divine Firmament Thunder was impossible to miss.

The moment they felt it, shock washed over the faces of Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect. A massive Demon Image’s Hoof lashed out with violent force, slamming into the Prison Thunder Sky Net in a desperate attempt to kick the barrier apart!

However, the Divine Firmament Thunder lashed back with fierce power, causing the qi-blood of both Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect to churn unsteadily.

"Amitabha Buddha, let this humble monk lend a hand!"

A Buddhist prayer echoed through the air.

With his kasaya snapping in the wind, Grandmaster Huang Mei materialized outside the Prison Thunder Sky Net and struck out. His monk robe fell back to reveal a palm radiating explosive Buddha Light. Channeling his top-level peak strength through his surging qi-blood, he slammed his hand against the exterior of the Prison Thunder Sky Net.

"Excellent!"

Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect shouted in unison, laughing!

This was the tactical edge provided by an extra top-level peak combatant!

It was the crucial factor capable of turning the tide of the entire battle!

The half-step Martial God phantom began to straighten its spine, preparing to shatter the seal through the combined pressure of internal and external attacks on the Prison Thunder Sky Net!

Terrifying detonations rang out as countless sparks flew into the sky.

Yet, the anticipated scene of the defense crumbling and the pair escaping never happened!

Though the half-step Martial God phantom maintained by Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect struck with all its might, the Prison Thunder Sky Net refused to yield.

Instead, the Prison Thunder Sky Net seemed to absorb the Divine Firmament Thunder, growing even more durable and solid!

How could this be?!

Deep within the half-step Martial God phantom, the aged faces of Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect were twisted in disbelief.

Wasn't Grandmaster Huang Mei supposed to be attacking from the outside?

They had intended to use a pincer strike to break the Underworld Yama’s strange binding technique!

Buzz—

Suddenly, a portal manifested from the heavens. It was the pitch-black gate of Mo City Fengdu, as dark and impenetrable as the abyss.

A massive suction force surged forth, dragging the half-step Martial God phantom of Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect toward the interior against their will.

Grandmaster Huang Mei found himself caught in the same vacuum of Mo City Fengdu...

Spectators turned to see the Living Buddha, Grandmaster Huang Mei, his eyes wide with fury as he roared. Despite his struggles, he could not escape the gravitational pull of Mo City Fengdu and was swallowed whole!

Within Qianyuan Taoist City, several powerful onlookers watched the scene, their eyes filled with a trace of respect.

"The Underworld Yama... is truly a man of righteousness!"

Because of the Underworld Horse Face, the Underworld had shown its hand, not only sending mysterious top-level peak experts but also seeing the Underworld Yama sacrifice himself to remove Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Grandmaster Huang Mei from the field.

By pulling them into Mo City, the threat those three posed to the current situation was neutralized.

This force truly acted with great righteousness.

Fang Hanshu’s eyes narrowed; he was moved by the Underworld’s noble actions, realizing they were doing this entirely for Li Che’s sake.

Since things had reached this point, how could the members of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect remain idle?

"It is time for your journey to end, Dean."

Fang Hanshu directed a freezing stare toward Bai Buxi.

The Dean of Haoran Academy, Bai Buxi, stood across from Fang Hanshu, maintaining a facade of integrity.

Fang Hanshu’s sudden hostility caught Bai Buxi off guard, but he quickly recovered with a sneer. "You academy traitor! You still dare to be so arrogant?"

"The Ancestor was merciful enough to only expel you rather than stripping your Cultivation. You should be grateful!"

With a cold laugh, Bai Buxi reached into the white river, his fingers closing around a white ruler that shimmered with flowing Dao Yun.

Fang Hanshu’s refined beard swayed in the breeze as the sleeves of his Confucian robe snapped loudly.

He launched himself forward like a projectile, closing the distance to Bai Buxi in an instant.

The aura radiating from Fang Hanshu began to climb higher and higher—

"I am the traitor? Then what are you?"

"You are nothing but a pack of hypocrites who have no right to read the Holy Sage Book! Under your watch, the Jiangnan Dao has become a chaotic mess of suffering. Even though Jiangnan Dao is the wealthiest land in the Great Vista, the commoners live in abject poverty due to endless taxes and exploitation... You scholars are truly masters of the art of bleeding the people dry!"

Fang Hanshu’s voice was frigid, his words landing like a heavy curse.

He walked through the night sky one step at a time, the white light surrounding him intensifying with every movement.

Bai Buxi’s heart raced as he stared at his own Vast Righteous Qi Column, only to see it trembling and struggling to remain upright.

"Vast Righteousness..."

"You... you also possess the power of Vast Righteousness?!"

Boom—!!!

Fang Hanshu threw his arms wide.

It felt as though the sky itself had cracked open, as if a celestial river had burst its banks. Infinite white auras cascaded down like falling incense, swirling together to form a colossal river!

"This is..."

Bai Buxi’s pupils dilated in terror.

"The Vast River!"

"You... you have actually achieved the Vast River!"
