As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1564 - 415: Above Martial Saint Lies Martial Immortal, and I Tread on Thin Ice Because I Love Backstabbing [Monthly Ticket Requested]
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
"Capture him!" Xi Xi’s small voice rang out, filled with a newfound sense of resolve.
"Their Sect Master was just slain! Hey, the Young Sect Master is bound to take the throne now; let us track him down and give him a beating!"
Xi Xi was radiating with an intense desire for battle.
"That is far too perilous!"
Shaking her head with a solemn expression, Yun E countered her proposal.
"The Heavenly Pill Divine Sect possesses power on par with our own Qian Yuan. Even if the Imperial Court has summoned many of their elites away, they remain a force that cannot be trifled with."
Zhou Peng chimed in quickly to support her: "Sister Yun E speaks the truth. We ought to stay on our path and reach the True Martial Divine Sect swiftly to finish the mission Elder Li gave us..."
Yun E shifted her gaze from Zhou Peng back to Xi Xi: "At the end of the day, the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect is a true Divine Sect. Their Sect Master may be gone, but numerous Martial Saints and Divine Fetuses remain. They are among the wealthiest sects under heaven; their roster of powerful cultivators might actually exceed what we have at Qian Yuan..."
"Xi Xi, I am aware of your strength—you took the top honors at both the Flat Peach Victory Meeting and the Chulong Victory Conference—but... we are still merely children."
"We aren't capable of defeating those adults yet."
As Yun E spoke these earnest words, Xi Xi had unknowingly drifted to her side. She plucked the small rabbit from Yun E’s arms and perched it atop her head, nestled between her twin pigtails, her large eyes gleaming.
"Mm-hmm, Sister Yun E, you are truly beautiful, and you are right!"
The Little Fatty, Zhou Peng, was instantly offended. Just because he was unattractive, did it mean his advice carried no weight?
Turning toward the quiet Jin Taixui, Zhou Peng asked, "Old Jin, what is your take on this?"
After a long silence, Jin Taixui replied: "I believe Xi Xi is correct."
Fuming with frustration, Zhou Peng stuffed three buns into his mouth at once, effectively silencing himself.
"If we must visit Guangling Dao City, we can take a look, but we must keep a low profile and avoid causing a scene. Our primary goal remains traveling the Tongyou Road to the True Martial Divine Sect to fulfill Elder Li's request."
Yun E leaned her long legs forward and gave Xi Xi’s cheek a playful pinch, smiling softly.
Xi Xi offered no protest.
She contemplated her own strength; with her current Cultivation, she didn't fear a Great Grandmaster. However, if a Martial Saint appeared...
She would likely have to flee while clutching her stomach.
Alas, wandering the martial world is a difficult endeavor.
Xi Xi let out a sigh before sprinting toward the outskirts of Guangling Dao City. Finding a tree, she dug a small pit and, with a flick of her hand, manifested a Thunder Chess Piece which she buried deep in the earth.
"This is a Thunder Chess Piece my father bestowed upon me. With this... I, Li Nuanxi, am the greatest escape artist in the world!"
Xi Xi declared with a bright, cheerful grin.
"When trouble arises, just stay close to me, and I can spirit us all away."
Li Che, being deeply invested in Xi Xi’s growth, had naturally gone to great lengths for her.
He had condensed the unique traits of the Dragon Elephant Vajra and the Chess Saint Dao Fruits into a Dao Fruit image, embedding it within Xi Xi’s body.
Consequently, Xi Xi was now able to utilize certain Dao Fruit characteristics.
These included the Flying Thunder Chess Piece Teleportation, the miniature Heavenly Chessboard, the Slumbering Dragon Elephant, and the Vajra Transformation of the Dragon Elephant Vajra.
Naturally, her version could not rival the true Dao Fruit Power wielded by Li Che himself.
Only Xi Xi, acting as a sort of Dominator Avatar, could host Li Che’s Dao Fruit due to the blood bond they shared.
No one else was capable of carrying such power.
Li Che had attempted the process with Zhang Ya, but she was unable to endure it; only Xi Xi was compatible.
"Let us depart!"
Once the Thunder Chess Piece was buried, Xi Xi gave the ground a firm stomp.
Then, alongside her friends, she made her way toward Guangling Dao City.
Through the falling snow, the four children entered the city disguised as wandering Jianghu Guests.
......Guangling Dao City.Heavenly Pill Divine Sect Mountain Gate.Purple Gold Refining Pavilion.
"Clang clang clang——"
Inside the sweltering heat of the Alchemy Pavilion, a massive pill furnace suddenly vibrated with a sharp, echoing ring.
The figure in robes sitting before the furnace, hair in total disarray, slowly pulled their eyes open.
A flash of crimson blood light flickered through their pupils.
"The scent of such exquisite human medicine..."
"The Heavens truly smile upon me!"
......Qian Yuan Divine Sect.Elder Court, Study.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes as the vision faded from his mind.
"It is fortunate that Yun E is with them. Without her, no one could control a spirit as wild as Xi Xi... If left to her own devices, that girl might actually try to infiltrate the Divine Capital to assassinate the Emperor."
"She doesn't even stop to consider if her Cultivation is high enough..."
Li Che shook his head in amusement.
"So, they have arrived in Guangling Dao City?"
The Heavenly Pill Divine Sect had just suffered the loss of its leader—a top-tier Sect Master had fallen. Since Guangling Dao bordered the Lingnan Circuit, the news had already traveled back.
By leaving a fragment of his divine mind behind, Li Che was able to constantly monitor and track the progress of the children’s journey.
Li Che then turned his attention inward.
He intended to use the Instant Enlightenment Feedback from his Dao Fruit to bolster his own strength.
However, a sudden thought struck him.
The [Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons] Dao Fruit in his chest seemed to be pulsing with a rhythmic sense of indignation.
Reflecting on this, Li Che gave a soft smile, stood up, and performed a lazy stretch.
"I nearly forgot about those four demon dragons..."
The Dragon God Clan, despite their name, were essentially just members of the Demon Race.
The Dragon God Crown Prince and the three Dragon Sons could execute a Combined Skill that granted them power equivalent to a Half-step Dragon God...
During the conflict where the Imperial Court besieged the mountain to destroy the sect, they had caused significant trouble for the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.
Had it not been for Fang Hanshu’s sudden display of power, resisting the Imperial army would have been an arduous task.
Furthermore, Li Che remembered the assassination of Xie Yun Shen, specifically the God Hunter Killer from the Hunting God Pavilion who had obstructed Gu Qianchi, the Divine Tribulation Great Cultivator.
"The Great Elder... was actually a God Hunter Killer."
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly at the thought.
Even though Fang Hanshu had hidden his presence, the Star Vortex Mask had transformed his aura, making him appear as an entirely different individual.
