As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1580: 418: The First Fiend of the Ten Fiends Diagram, the Old Dragon God—Xi Xi Did Her Best
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
With a forceful grind of her teeth, Xi Xi pulverized the alchemist’s remains into dust.
The young girl, Xiao Lian, was instantly liberated from the alchemist’s dark influence, her features returning to their original state.
“Follow me!”
Beneath Xi Xi’s feet, the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel ignited. Sparks showered the ground as the wheels rotated at high speeds, propelling her toward the little girl.
However, desperate cries suddenly drifted from the distant cages during her advance.
“Please help us, save us…”
These were the innocent girls who had been sold off by their own kin.
The seven-year-old Xi Xi was suddenly struck by a wave of confusion and hesitation.
Who was she supposed to rescue first?!
In that brief moment of indecision,
A thunderous, enraged roar erupted from the depths of the Ascending Immortal Pavilion.
“How audacious!”
The furious shout sent physical shockwaves rolling through the air!
It was the presence of a…
Martial Saint!
Even if he was merely a First Level Martial Saint!
The immense pressure of the Heavenly Person Sensing manifested as a Martial Dao Will, descending like a heavy shroud that blanketed the heavens.
The entire courtyard was instantly pinned under this weight!
Xi Xi’s gaze shifted behind her calf mask.
She looked toward the dozen captives trapped in the iron cage, then back at Xiao Lian’s motionless form on the cold earth…
Xi Xi clenched her jaw, causing the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel beneath her to clang as sparks erupted violently!
Xi Xi felt a surge of ambition; she wanted to rescue every single one of them!
She desperately wished to pull them all from the Bitter Sea!
But…
Just as she pivoted toward the cages, a sharp, spear-like insect claw lunged out from the Mysterious Temple, aiming directly for Xi Xi’s head.
A suffocating Divine Majesty, unique to a Temple God, bore down with crushing force!
“Ah!”
“You despicable Temple God!”
Xi Xi barked in anger. Her small fingers spread wide as she snatched the insect claw. Her entire frame crackled with the sound of shifting tendons and bones as she forcibly dragged the creature's true form into the light.
Bang—!!!
The entrance to the Mysterious Temple shattered!
A monstrous Thousand-eyed Centipede, wreathed in thick demon energy, scurried out of the temple with a savage roar!
The aura of the Temple God intensified, pressing down relentlessly!
Xi Xi was startled.
Faced with this sudden peril, she immediately abandoned her attempt to reach the cages and darted back toward the paralyzed Xiao Lian.
Yet in that instant…
A massive figure, radiating powerful qi-blood, plummeted from above!
The qi-blood surged like a tidal wave, accompanied by a Martial Dao Will as heavy as a mountain. Xi Xi felt the circulation of her own internal qi-blood stall under the pressure.
It was indeed…
A Martial Saint!
Xi Xi’s eyes flushed red with emotion!
It appeared…
She might not be able to save anyone!
Behind her pink mask, Xi Xi bit her lip hard.
The God-beating Gold Brick in her right hand vibrated violently, emitting an invisible ripple that neutralized the Martial Saint’s Martial Dao Will.
Xi Xi closed her left fist as a torrent of purple flames erupted from her palm.
The fire coalesced into a Purple Flame Serpentine Spear.
With a scream of defiance, she thrust the Purple Flame Serpentine Spear at the descending figure with blistering speed!
The air groaned and twisted under the force!
The atmosphere roared as the shockwaves cleared the area!
“Hmm? The Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel… and the Purple Flame Serpentine Spear?!”
“You are…”
“The Young Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Sect, Li Nuanxi?!”
The massive Martial Saint identified Xi Xi instantly. Simultaneously, Xi Xi caught a glimpse of his face and realized he looked familiar.
It seemed…
This man had been to Qianyuan Dao City, where he participated in the trials of the Two-Minded Great Saint Mysterious Temple and fought her father for the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod!
Martial Saint Gu Chuan of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect narrowed his eyes. Having visited Qianyuan Dao City, he knew exactly who was behind the calf mask.
His expression shifted into one of fanatical excitement!
The Martial Saint extended his hand, his fingers striking out like five lethal spears.
They collided directly with Xi Xi’s spear tip.
A titanic force, resembling a mountain collapse, surged through the contact point.
Being only in the Divine Gang Great Master Realm, Xi Xi could not withstand the blow. Without her Black and White Collapse Great Avalanche Guanyin Lotus Bullets or her "mushrooms," a vast chasm remained between her and a Martial Saint.
Xi Xi was sent reeling by the impact of the Martial Saint’s qi-blood.
She watched helplessly as Xiao Lian was kicked away by Gu Chuan, her heart filled with bitter frustration.
Xi Xi gripped her Thunder Chess Piece tightly.
In an instant, her form flickered and vanished.
“Don’t you dare leave!”
Gu Chuan bellowed in rage.
He lunged forward, his fingers clawing the air so violently it created a vacuum cage of wind.
Nevertheless…
Xi Xi had already disappeared.
The stench of blood hung heavy in the courtyard air.
Gu Chuan stood tall, his qi-blood coiling around him like serpents as his eyes glowed with intensity.
“The Qian Yuan Divine Sect’s Young Sect Master, Li Nuanxi… here in Guangling Dao City?”
“I see… the Imperial Court’s pressure has made the Qian Yuan Divine Sect desperate. Are they trying to hide their legacy seed?”
A feverish look crossed Gu Chuan’s face.
This child…
She was a supreme genius, the victor of the Flat Peach Victory Meeting and the Chulong Victory Conference!
She was a peerless Human Medicine!
Gu Chuan took to the sky, his Martial Dao Will exploding outward as he began a frantic search for any sign of Xi Xi.
***
Beyond the walls of Guangling Dao City.
The snow fell in thick blankets.
Whoosh— Whoosh—
Three tracks were carved into the fresh snow as three masked figures sprinted through the cold.
They wore the masks of a Snow Wolf, a Jade Rabbit, and a Pig.
Yun E, clutching her white rabbit, breathed heavily as steam billowed from beneath her mask. She continued her frantic pace.
Eventually, she reached the tree where Xi Xi had placed the Thunder Chess Piece and found the small girl.
Xi Xi was slumped against the trunk.
The pink calf mask was clutched in her hand.
She sat with her knees pulled to her chest, her head tucked away, her entire body shaking with sobs.
Yun E approached and knelt beside her.
Her heart ached with pity as she reached out, gently stroking Xi Xi’s back while speaking in a soft, soothing tone.
“Xi Xi…”
Slowly, Xi Xi looked up.
Her youthful face was stained with tears.
The moment she saw Yun E, she broke down completely, unable to contain her grief.
“Wuuu—”
“Sister Yun E… Xi… Xi Xi tried so hard, but I couldn’t save them.”
