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

The black-robed figure of the Dark Heavenly Court sneered: ”As you wish.”

”Do you think I have the courage to act contrary to the Supreme’s orders?”

”It’s not only about concerns for you but also about the worry that other strong entities from the All Gods Camp might intercept the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner along the way.”

The Emperor explained.

”My confidant will hold a Divine Talisman. If someone attempts to seize the flag, he can immediately use the Divine Talisman to return the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner.”

Subsequently, the Emperor looked at Mr. Lian.

”Mr. Lian, are you willing to undertake this journey for me, even if it may cost your life... are you willing?”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lian’s face was full of emotion and devotion, he knelt on the ground, gently kowtowing, resolute and firm, as if willing to walk through fire without hesitation.

”Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if it costs my life, I will protect the Gathering Immortals Banner!”

”I will burn out my life to guard the Gathering Immortals Banner!”

Though he was a eunuch, his voice was sonorous and powerful, his words struck with authority!

The black-robed figure couldn’t help but be slightly moved.

However...

Why would a eunuch also speak of burning out?!

...

...

Qi Tian City was bustling and prosperous.

Equal Heaven Temple reopened the Divine Sect, and within three months, recruited many disciples, searching for divine children and spirit children from various prefectures across Jiangnan Dao.

Fang Hanshu reopened Qi Tian City, welcoming merchants to settle, instantly revitalizing the ancient city.

Rumble—

Above the heavenly dome, black clouds amassed, countless lightning bolts intertwined within.

A brewing storm arrived as expected.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, striking the black tiles of Qi Tian City, shattering open and exploding into a misty fog, making the entire city appear indistinct.

Qitian Outer City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Fang Hanshu’s Confucian robe fluttered as he held the Holy Sage Book, standing under the eaves, observing the heavens’ great rain with clarity, his brow shining with starlight.

Beside him, Li Che’s dark hair cascaded over his shoulders, his embroidered golden lotus robe gently swaying.

”My Lord, the letter from Qian Yuan Divine Sect...”

Fang Hanshu took out the letter and handed it to Li Che.

”What does it say?”

Li Che felt the water vapor from the summer storm, his whole being warm as jade, his body emanating a majestic aura.

”News from Old Lv, he wants Xi Xi to return.”

Li Che’s eyes lifted slightly: ”Calling Xi Xi back?”

”Yes, for the sect master’s inauguration ceremony. Old Lv, after breaking into the Divine Tribulation Realm... the suppression from Heaven and Earth Will is becoming more apparent, he must retreat to Small Cave Heaven to consolidate his cultivation and withdraw into the background.”

”Qian Yuan Divine Sect cannot go a day without a sect master, so... before he retreats to Small Cave Heaven, he wants to confirm Xi Xi as the sect master.”

Fang Hanshu said with a smile.

Li Che heard this and couldn’t help but smile: ”What a...”

”The sect master is eager to venture into Strange Que? Wanting to dive deep into Strange Que, fight the strong, seize opportunities, and search for Dao Yun Divine Crystals...”

Fang Hanshu nodded, his lips curling: ”Indeed...”

Li Che pondered for a moment: ”Xi Xi’s talent now is truly exceptional, her cultivation speed astonishingly fast under Boss’s nurturance...”

”But, does the sect master know about Xi Xi’s identity as the Daughter of Prison Lotus?”

”If Xi Xi truly inherits the position of sect master of Qian Yuan Divine Sect, Qian Yuan will truly bind with Prison Lotus... the future will inevitably face fierce assaults and challenges from all gods’ camp.”

Fang Hanshu grew serious upon hearing this: ”It is mentioned in the letter; Old Lv said, Xi Xi is undoubtedly the sect master of Qian Yuan Divine Sect; he’s fixated, not allowing any escape...”

Li Che heard this and couldn’t help but laugh, feeling quite delighted.

Lv Taibai was aware of Xi Xi’s identity.

He also understood the terrifying targeting that comes with her identity as the Daughter of Prison Lotus; his experiences in Qi Tian City demonstrated his knowledge of the consequences of being linked with the Daughter of Prison Lotus...

Yet he remained unswerving, determined to support Xi Xi, warming Li Che’s heart.

Seeing such trust in Xi Xi, with such high stakes placed on her, naturally, Li Che wouldn’t let Qian Yuan suffer.
