Chapter 1871: Chapter 483: Emperor Xi Xi Returns Home in Glory to Qian Yuan, Ancestral Ceremony Approaches as She Becomes Martial Saint at Age 8

Fang Hanshu maintained a serious expression, but his heart was somewhat distracted.

Just how many Soul Capturing entities did Li Che deploy outside?

How many schemes has he woven?!

This Mr. Lian is a close confidant of the Emperor, arguably one of the most trusted by the Emperor of Dajing, even more than the Empress and the bewitching Noble Consort Su Da.

Yet, now this Mr. Lian is kneeling before Li Che with reverence and fervor, his respect far surpassing that which he shows to the Emperor.

Fang Hanshu couldn’t help but be amazed at Li Che’s methods.

As a scholar, Fang Hanshu didn’t much care for the brute force tactics of martial artists, preferring the strategic gameplay of careful plotting and pondering each move.

Li Che, though an unparalleled Martial Immortal, did not possess the reckless bravado of common martial artists.

He could plot and scheme, using strategy wherever possible, rather than recklessly killing his enemies, a trait Fang Hanshu greatly appreciated.

“Lord!”

Mr. Lian, kneeling on the ground, continuously kowtowed.

As a eunuch, pledging loyalty to his master was an ingrained skill, second nature.

“A Venerable of the Second Calamity and Third Tribulation Realm from the Dark Heavenly Court of the All Gods Camp has come seeking the Emperor to borrow the Gathering Immortals Mysterious Banner.”

Mr. Lian spoke with great respect.

Li Che’s body was radiant, his entire being shining, having broken through to become a Martial Immortal, his state was unprecedentedly good.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hanshu’s eyes narrowed: “Borrow the Gathering Immortals Flag?”

“The intent isn’t pure. It seems… the Ghost Emperor’s unyielding existence has truly pushed them to desperation.”

Fang Hanshu spoke solemnly.

“The three Supremes of Qi Tian Inner City are growing uneasy, wishing to fully control Qi Tian City, and to do so, they must deal with the Human Martial Immortal Ghost Emperor. Whether the Ghost Emperor has exhausted his power or not, they dare not gamble again, and the powerful figures within the Inner City dare not act rashly, fearing a trap set by the Ghost Emperor.”

“So, borrowing the Gathering Immortals Flag from the Emperor of Dajing likely signifies the Supreme’s desire to act personally!”

Li Che nodded: “The Gathering Immortals Flag has the ability to shield the perception of Heaven and Earth Will… indeed, the Supreme can take action, just as the Great Saint once held the Gathering Immortals Flag to break out from the Inner City, directly targeting those hiding within the Small Cave Heaven…”

Even Li Che hadn’t anticipated that the Supreme Xuanzhen of Qi Tian Inner City would be so determined, even seeking the Emperor to request the Gathering Immortals Flag…

“Did they come through the Strange Que path?” Li Che inquired.

Mr. Lian nodded repeatedly: “The Dark Heavenly Court has a Supreme who tore through the Mysterious Fog, opening a path linking directly to Qi Tian Inner City…”

“Now, within the Strange Que, Qi Tian Inner City’s location is no longer a secret.”

Upon hearing this, Li Che couldn’t help but frown.

That’s truly perilous; Fang Hanshu, having devoured a Soul Capturing entity, is on the verge of reaching the Supreme Level.

This means the Underworld also possesses Supreme combat power…

However, if the Strange Que path is breached, and a resurrected deity descends, it will indeed be troublesome.

Despite being a Martial Immortal, Li Che stands no chance against a true deity.

Even if it’s a deity that has just resurrected, not fully recovered, and only possesses Supreme power, Li Che would struggle to cope…

It’s like Qi Tian, having just resurrected, by siphoning the blood and flesh of several Second Calamity Venerables, could suppress the Supreme; it’s an overwhelming and transcending level of power.

Like a college student facing kindergarten problems, it’s an effortless feat.

Li Che fell into contemplation, standing with hands behind his back, the embroidered golden lotus on his Mo Shan fluttering in the gusts stirred by the storm, his eyes shining with resplendent golden light.

The thought in his heart was naturally unwilling for the Gathering Immortals Flag to fall into the hands of the Supremes within Qi Tian Inner City. If the three great Supremes truly emerged, even Li Che would find it difficult, possibly having to temporarily give up Qi Tian City.
