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

Chapter 239 The Daughter Canʼt Handle the Huge Opportunity: Bench, Erhu, The Chief Supervisor Takes the Stage_4

Shangguan Jie approached with a murderous aura rolling in, stirring up the waves of the river.

At the same time.

In the void, it was as if four figures awoke, opening their eyes.

These were the ancestors of the other four of the Five Great Clans, opening their eyes to make their stance known.

At that moment, five Divine Minister auras descended like pillars of light from the heavens, hovering in front of the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building.

The building seemed to quiver as if on the verge of collapse, as if it would be destroyed at any moment.

The five ancestors of the Noble Families, all renowned Divine Ministers for many years, the weakest among them in the Middle God Phase Realm, held astonishing prestige.

Just like Patriarch Shangguan, with a single Divine Likeness Wood Carving, he was able to thwart Lin Xiu because in terms of realm, Shangguan Jie was superior to Lin Xiu of the Initial Realm of Divine Minister.

”Hehe... The Five Great Clans share the same roots, are they all pressuring the Qintian Observatory simultaneously?”

”The Shangguan Family has colluded with the Corpse God Cult, Shangguan Zhengheng has been refining the Cursed Copper Corpse, and Shangguan Yunlong along with Shangguan Leilong have been refining the Cursed Iron Corpse, all of which offend the heavens and deserve more than death...”

”Even if you take this matter to the Divine Capital, to argue in front of His Majesty the God-Emperor, I, Lin Xiu, Deputy Inspector of the Golden Light Prefecture of the Qintian Observatory, am still ridding the people of a scourge and sharing the countryʼs worries!”

”Not only am I not guilty, but I might even receive a reward from the Imperial Court, donʼt you think?”

A faint voice echoed out from the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building.

The agitated waves calmed down, and everything returned to a tranquil state.

The pair after pair of eyes that were secretly watching fell silent for a moment and then all retreated.

Indeed, it was a dilemma; the deeds of the Corpse God Cult were indeed loathed by the Imperial Court. The Corpse God Cult had even incited rebellion in Jizhou, naturally putting the Imperial Court on Lin Xiuʼs side.

At the top of the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building.

An old man wearing a washed-out white blue shirt was sitting quietly on a small bamboo stool, holding an erhu and lightly plucking its strings a couple of times, plunging the world into a sudden stillness.

”Lord of the Supervision!”

Shangguan Jie lowered his voice, his anger building up in his chest but dare not show it.

However, the old man once again plucked the strings of the erhu, and in a flash, all Divinity in heaven and earth was drained away.

”You collude with the Corpse God Cult and deserve more than death; do you still have the face to cry and mourn in front of me?”

”Now get lost?!”

”Get lost——!!!”

The voice boomed like thunder, bursting out of nowhere!

Shangguan Jieʼs face turned slightly pale.

And the ancestors of the other four great families, each with a long sigh, dissipated and retreated.

For a moment, Shangguan Jie stood isolated without support, his fists clenched.

Feeling the Divinity between heaven and earth drained away in an instant, he felt a suffocating sensation surge into his heart.

After a while, he opened his hands and turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the night.

A storm had passed with no trace left.

Atop the tower.

The sound of the erhu lingered on.

The old man shook his head and neck; in his throat, there was the sound of a dramatic, sing-song voice.

After a moment, he burst into laughter.

”This Lin Xiu and Li Qingshan... After so many years, as grown men, they still need me, an old man halfway into the grave, to wipe their backsides.”

After laughing for a while, the strings of the erhu abruptly came to a halt.

The old man suddenly turned his head.

He looked in the direction of the Divine Sect.

There...

Above the high heavens, a rift was torn open, spilling down a column of golden light atop the peak of Golden Light Peak.

A translucent ripple of concentric circles spread from the peak for dozens of feet.

”Has the Temple God atop Golden Light Peak awakened?”

”Is this the passing down of a divine method by the Temple God?”

”The three-year-old girl that Nan Lihuo has just taken in... can she actually activate the Godly Que of the Heavenly King Tower?!”

...

...

Within the dark courtyard.
