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

Chapter 1678: Chapter 440: If Father Were Xi Xi, What Would He Do? The Temple God Reincarnation of Yun E and Zhou Peng [Monthly Ticket Request]

Crack, crack—

Countless lightning bolts erupted high in the sky, flashing and rumbling, weaving through the dark clouds like a spider’s web, fierce and terrifying.

The dark city, so shadowed that you couldn’t see your hand before your face, was illuminated by the brilliant glow.

But in the instant that light shone, all that could be seen was the chilling mystic iron armor and the Corpse God Cult’s evil people, cloaked in black robes and hoods, standing on the battlements.

Within the alleys.

It was freezing, the atmosphere was wrought to the extreme.

Xi Xi, Yun E, Jin Taixui, and Zhou Peng, four children gathered here, their faces full of naivete, yet within that innocence lay an unprecedented seriousness.

”What are they... planning to do?”

Zhou Peng was so nervous he forgot to eat his bun, feeling an immense pressure.

Yun E closed her eyes.

Jin Taixui remained silent, clenched his Five Fingers, and already had his hand on the knife at his waist.

Xi Xi gripped her fist, her face becoming indescribably grave.

”My father told me...”

Xi Xi’s voice was heavy.

Her eyes looked outward, seeing beyond, among the Black Armor Guards, a leading figure.

Zhou Chiguo, once the great disciple of Nan Lihuo, Zhou Daoyuan!

Also counted as Xi Xi’s senior brother, who once, for the sake of Master Nan Lihuo, ventured to Jiangnan Dao, attempting to assassinate Ji Moli, but ultimately... became the knife in Ji Moli’s hand.

Even to worship under Ji Moli, becoming Ji Moli’s adopted son.

Upon the death of one of Ji Moli’s sons, instantly replaced his position and became Ji Moli’s son.

Xi Xi naturally had a profound impression of Zhou Chiguo, not for anything else, simply because Zhou Chiguo was once Nan Lihuo’s disciple, this reason alone was enough for Xi Xi to pay attention to him.

”My father said... the Clone Technique Ji Moli cultivates is extremely vicious, condensed with the power of Blood Soul, enabling Ji Moli’s clone to possess the exact strength of his Physical Body.”

”However, this Clone Technique requires a medium and a vessel, the medium... is the Blood Soul, a city’s Blood Soul, while the vessel... is the bearer of Blood Soul, who flows with Ji Moli’s bloodline—his son.”

Xi Xi’s tiny, delicate face showed a trace of gritted teeth.

Evidently, she guessed the purpose of so many armies appearing at the city gate.

”Gather Blood Soul! Accumulate power for Ji Moli’s clone, create a medium!”

Xi Xi exhaled and said.

Quiet, dead silence...

Yun E and the other three fell into a silence.

They didn’t ask what the method of gathering Blood Soul was, there was no need to think.

It is the massacre of the city!

Just like when the blood sea feud of Nan Lihuo was forged, Ji Moli’s clone was shattered, naturally needing to condense another clone, which requires a sufficient amount of Blood Soul power.

Now Ji Moli is completely mad, even starting to openly slaughter.

Because Qi Tian City has opened, Ji Moli has no more time to slowly recover, he must restore his state at the fastest speed, hence... massacre the city!

And Luoyun City, should be the chosen city.

”Xi Xi...”

”Could it be... Ji Moli knows we entered this city, so he chose to massacre Luoyun City, planning to kill us along with it?”

On Yun E’s beautiful face, a worried expression arose.

If this is indeed true, it definitely is not good news for them.

Xi Xi trembled slightly at the thought.

No wonder the number of assassins from the Corpse God Cult and Hunting God Pavilion decreased recently, perhaps their disguise helped a bit, but more likely, as Yun E said, after knowing they entered Luoyun City, the assassins from Corpse God Cult and Hunting God Pavilion chose a better way to deal with them?

”So... did we bring death to this city?”

Xi Xi’s lips trembled, her face filled with a pained expression.

”Xi Xi, you don’t need to think like that; even if you didn’t come to Luoyun City, Ji Moli would choose another city to massacre...” Jin Taixui, always silent, suddenly spoke.

He couldn’t bear to see Xi Xi in pain, so he spoke up, giving Xi Xi a reason.

And this is indeed true.

Even if not Luoyun City, among all the Jiangnan Dao cities, ultimately another city would be massacred.

”Of course, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that they specifically chose Luoyun City, and we happen to be in it.”

Yun E also provided another explanation.

Both explanations are possible.
