As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

He truly couldn’t help but feel fear. Ji Haihui, who was about the same age, was crushed into ashes and scattered to the wind…

“Could it be that a grandmaster of the ‘Unity of Heaven and Man Realm’ made a move?”

“Such experts are probably few even throughout Yun Province, let alone Dao City where they are considered top-tier masters!”

“To think he appeared in Golden Light Prefecture City?”

Tie Shancai took a deep breath.

Zhu Chaoyang nodded gravely, “Even if it’s not a grandmaster of the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, it must be close… perhaps even a Divine Primordial who has undergone Primordial Spirit Metamorphosis and has fully opened his bodily apertures!”

“Isn’t your Temple Control Bureau the best at solving cases? Can you determine who it was?”

Tie Shancai asked.

If you figure it out, I can try to avoid them beforehand.

Zhu Chaoyang shook his head, “We only know that the opponent is very strong…”

“Strong in vitality, strong in body, strong in Divine Gang… the real Shadow Guard had no chance to resist.”

“Terrifying…”

“Underworld Divine Monkey? It doesn’t seem like it… the Underworld should not have such a strong presence.”

“It must have been the expert who killed Ji Haihui during the Temple God Resonance Conference and shattered the Martial Saint’s will!”

Zhu Chaoyang said.

Tie Shancai let out a sigh of relief, “Thankfully… thankfully we examined the corpse beforehand.”

The two exchanged glances.

Suddenly, the wind and rain between heaven and earth seemed much colder.

Then, Zhu Chaoyang picked up Tie Shancai and ran madly without looking back.

…

…

After Zhu Chaoyang and Tie Shancai had left,

faintly, from the direction of Golden Light Prefecture City, it seemed that something was sensed, and a figure broke through the air, rushing over at high speed.

The powerful divinity twisted the windy clouds overhead, the figure soared through the sky, speeding incredibly fast towards them.

Boom, boom, boom—

Countless raindrops burst apart, the strong Primordial Spirit of the Divine Primordial Person, shining brightly like the sun, dispersed the rain and air streams.

Jiao Shaoqiu and the Coachman Grandmaster following him landed at the edge of a large pit.

Next arrived Lu Yao, Wang Kuyu, and the Supervisor of Qintian Observatory who played the erhu.

Lu Yao and Wang Kuyu glanced at the Supervisor, a flicker of astonishment in their eyes.

“Tragic, so tragic.”

Supervisor Hu Yingyue, setting down a small stool, began to play the erhu sorrowfully amidst the wind and rain.

This scene required a sad melody.

Jiao Shaoqiu, however, ignored him, his face haggard as old wood, adopted a sharp look.

“The young prince’s funeral procession… completely annihilated, bone and trace destroyed.”

“The person who acted was ruthless… extremely venomous…”

Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire

Jiao Shaoqiu sighed.

How did it come to this.

Too tragic.

If King Ping Luan Ji Molie learns of this, he is likely to be furious.

But, this… couldn’t be blamed on them.

Why didn’t Ji Molie send some strong figures to escort his son?

Knowing that his son would be in danger, yet the defense was so weak.

However, with a Divine Primordial, a Master of Divine Gang, six Black Armored Blood Guards, this level of defense wasn’t weak, in addition to Ji Haihui’s body possessing the Martial Saint’s will and Dragon God Bloodline…

Truly, no faction would dare openly attack Ji Haihui and antagonize a child.

“Done so cleanly…”

Jiao Shaoqiu shook his head.

He looked at the Coachman Grandmaster beside him and asked, “Did you find anything?”

The Coachman Grandmaster wiped a broken bone from the mud.

Silently handed it to Jiao Shaoqiu.

Jiao Shaoqiu received it, and the Divinity within him burst forth from the Inner Scene of the Energy Center…

Closing his eyes slightly, a trace of the Divinity of Fear moved intertwiningly.

The next moment, Jiao Shaoqiu’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and the broken bone in his hand exploded into powder.

His face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

“Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Gods?”

“The one who killed this Shadow Guard True Person… employed an extremely tyrannical fist technique enhanced by the Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Deity Fist Technique!”

Jiao Shaoqiu used the Dread Trace Divinity Secret Technique, barely tracing back to a fleeting image from this fragment of bone.

But that refined Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Deity Fist Technique, seemed like it would burst his divine sense with one punch.

“To master such refined Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Deity? Could it be… one of Ji Molie’s sons…”

“For the sake of a hereditary position… secretly made the killer move?”

…

…

The wild wind howled, and the rain fell in Qiu Ping.

Black tiles vibrated sharply, producing a series of dull thuds.

Li Che clenched the Thunder Chess Piece in his hand, then returned to the small courtyard in Falling Flower Alley.

The courtyard remained tranquil.

Water cascaded from the dome above the central courtyard, washing over the ground.

Li Che removed the Bull Demon Mask, shed his black robe, pulled up a bamboo chair, and sat down, his muscles relaxing completely.

The Broken Bone from the Shadow Guard True Person was intentionally left behind by him.

With his prematurely emerged Primordial Spirit and the Heaven and Earth chessboard, how could a mere bone shard escape his notice?

Yet, he left it deliberately to confuse and mislead.

That bone shard, bearing the residual force of the exploding Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Deity Fist Technique and bolstered by the Divine Power of the Seven Emotions at a Great Achievement Level, would lead investigations astray!

Simply erasing traces wasn’t the most solid approach, the most reliable method… was to leave behind small clues to misdirect the investigation elsewhere.

The Shadow Guard True Person was defeated by the exquisitely masterful Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Deity Fist Technique…

Who could guess that it was Li Che who had taken action?

How could a diligent and honest woodcarving master from the Golden Light Prefecture Qintian Observatory be linked to King of Quelling Chaos’ Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Deity?

Li Che contemplated, replaying this almost overwhelming battle in his mind.

He would not feel inflated or underestimate others just because he had crushed the Shadow Guard True Person.

In this world, the strong always prevail, there are always bigger fish!

However, Li Che was indeed not weak anymore.

“A Great Grandmaster now… Although I’ve just crossed the threshold and barely condensed my first Divine Gang, I can call myself a Great Grandmaster.”

A slow smile spread across Li Che’s lips.

Leaping from Furnace Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster indeed involved a qualitative transformation.

Power, explosive force, blood vitality—all underwent drastic changes.

But what strengthened most was the Martial Dao Will.

Condensing it into a substantial force was the most dominant source of power for a Great Grandmaster.

However, for cultivators like the Shadow Guard True Person who used the Divine Primordial Primordial Spirit to deduce Great Grandmaster cultivation, the Martial Dao Will was extremely weak.

Unlike Xue Dufu, whose Martial Dao Will was overpowering. Even if he fought until both arms were disabled and his blood was drained, his fighting spirit remained unextinguished!

“I’ve just made an initial leap, but I have not yet condensed the Great Bodily Elixir to store Divine Gang. The Divine Gang hidden within the great human elixir, thoughts birth Divine Gang, connecting through the body’s meridians…”

Li Che pondered the cultivation practice within the realm of the Great Grandmaster.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit vibrated with a ‘buzz’.

Li Che stood up and walked into the courtyard, letting the falling rain drench him.

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

With a shudder, rainwater evaporated.

He stretched out his arm, clenched his fist, and struck.

His fist was like a long spear, his movements neither fast nor slow, lacking the ferocity and hurry of combat, leisurely and at ease.

Like a master landscape painter or a chess master making a decisive move at the center of the board.

The rainwater throughout the heavens and earth was drawn in, Divine Gang woven around his body, centered on Li Che. Within a span of several dozen feet, the airflow and rainwater were swept up, unable to disperse, compressed into the palm of his clenched hand by the force exuded from his fingers.

Whirl, whirl—

The compressed water orb, enveloped by fierce gusts of wind, circled in Li Che’s palm!

Inside Li Che, blood surged, gathering swiftly at his lower abdomen. Blood, muscles, skin, bone marrow… the essence of the body, driven by an attracting force, seemed to sprout flesh, condensing into a faintly discernible flesh orb.

Roar—!!!

The Dragon Elephant cried out, the heart thumped strongly, mighty blood qi surged as if a Dragon Elephant’s will was roaring!

Martial Dao Will, Dragon Elephant Vajra!

It too merged into this nascent flesh orb!

Indeed, it was the Great Bodily Elixir.

A Great Bodily Elixir formed the foundation of a Great Grandmaster!

Whether it was the Master of Divine Gang, the Innate Great Grandmaster of Unity of Heaven and Man, or the Supreme Grandmaster with Three Flowers Atop…

All relied on the Great Bodily Elixir!

Just like the Divine Element True Person’s Divine Golden Pill, it was an supremely precious item!

The essence of cultivation!

Li Che’s Great Bodily Elixir was just barely taking shape. Once he finished apportioning Martial Saint Ultimate Studies to the five viscera, using the various distinct Martial Saint Ultimate Studies to temper the Divine Gang and integrate it into the elixir within his body, refining the Great Elixir to smooth perfection.

Only then could he truly stand firm in the realm of the Great Grandmaster!

Li Che stood silently in the storm, his palm cradling the increasingly absorbing and swelling water orb from the courtyard storm.

A smile curled at his lips, and he gently snapped his fingers.

The water orb shot into the sky, and abruptly exploded, transforming into a violent and domineering rainstorm, cascading downward!

He stood like a pillar amidst the tumultuous rain.

Li Che’s black robe fluttered, his hair wildly dancing.

His eyes opened and closed.

Flashes of divine light, like electricity,

streamed and danced wildly from beneath his eyes.
