Chapter 133: The True Disciple and the Assassination Attempt on Xixi, Li Che's Rules

Chapter 133: The True Disciple and the Assassination Attempt on Xixi, Li Che's Rules

"You dare to challenge me?!"

Xixi's eyes widened, revealing not fear but excitement.

Her small body stood there, and a terrifying aura burst forth from her.

On her shoulder, the small butterfly that looked like a tattoo suddenly came to life, flapping its wings, opening and closing them like an angry tiger breathing heavily.

In the arena.

Shangguan Qinglei's heart skipped a beat as a suffocating feeling washed over him.

Had he been discovered?

Was this little brat's perception so sharp?

And what was that butterfly?

At this moment, Shangguan Qinglei finally noticed the butterfly on Xixi's shoulder, and it gave him a chilling sense of dread, a suppressed sense of rank oppression that made it hard for him to even breathe.

He immediately turned to look at Zhang Qingzheng, "Elder! Report this!"

"Li Nuanxi is using a spiritual divine beast!"

"Foul play!"

Zhang Qingzheng's face twisted in disgust, his deadpan eyes fixed on Shangguan Qinglei, causing sweat to bead on Shangguan Qinglei's forehead. He thought of Zhang Qingzheng's doting on Xixi, and his back was drenched in sweat.

However, in the arena, Xixi's giggles echoed.

"Little Hu Hu, go play somewhere else, let me handle this myself!"

Her voice was full of vigor, brimming with excitement before a fight.

In the spectator stands, Li Che was speechless. So, you want to gain experience alone, huh? He narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, and watched intently, but he wasn't relaxed.

Shangguan Qinglei's murderous intent surged, and he wondered what tricks she had up her sleeve.

What if she had some real skills and ended up hurting Xixi? Li Che couldn't bear the thought.

Zhang Qingzheng, as a Divine Manifestation cultivator, should be able to ensure the safety of these two little ones.

So, Li Che wasn't overly worried.

On the arena.

The butterfly divine beast, whom Xixi had called 'Little Hu Hu', reluctantly flapped its wings and flew away, landing on the edge of the arena like a blooming flower, serene and quiet.

On the other side of the arena, Xixi's small face twitched, and she stared at Shangguan Qinglei. His killing intent caused her blood to boil, and the purple serpent divine mark on her arm trembled, releasing heat.

Shangguan Qinglei focused on Xixi, without the divine beast and not using any mechanisms, perhaps... he could seize the opportunity!

He knew that this arena challenge was under the watchful eyes of many, including the Divine Manifestation cultivator.

But...

Bang!

Shangguan Qinglei roared, his grief over his father's death and various other grievances fueling his anger like a vast sea of rage, causing a giant wave to surge!

He stomped his foot on the ground, and his perfectly tempered blood surged from his bulging muscles, landing on his toes on the arena, creating a circular ripple!

Just as his body was about to burst forward, a small figure appeared with a 'swish' at his side.

Fast!

Too fast!

Not just in speed, but also because...

This little brat had, in just one month, gone from bone tempering completion to blood transformation!

As Xixi's afterimage slowly faded in the distance, Shangguan Qinglei felt an incredibly terrifying killing intent!

That's right...

A killing intent!

Li Nuanxi... also wanted to kill him!

Shangguan Qinglei's eyes narrowed, and he swung his leg, drawing his hand back. His five fingers grasped a sword that exuded a strong divine essence, and he held it in his hand!

It was... a Seven Yuan Divine Armament!

Shangguan Qinglei had actually brought out a Seven Yuan Divine Armament! Even among the Five Great Clans, this was a top-tier treasure, and it was unimaginable for a seven-year-old child to possess one!

Even someone like Zhao Zhengheng, the head of the Shangguan family, only had one Seven Yuan Divine Armament, the 'Fenglei Trident'.

How could Shangguan Qinglei possibly have a Seven Yuan Divine Armament?!

As the sword was unsheathed, sharp sword qi raged and intertwined, creating a fiercely sharp airflow.

Below the arena, spectators like Palace Yuanliang and Ram Xiu were horrified.

"Xixi, be careful!"

Ram Xiu anxiously shouted.

Palace Yuanliang, upon hearing this, also yelled out a warning.

Zhang Qingzheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't immediately intervene.

In the spectator stands, Zhang Ya anxiously gripped Li Che's arm, "Husband, how can he use a divine armament? He doesn't allow Xixi to use her divine beast or mechanisms, but he uses a Seven Yuan Divine Armament! How shameless!"

Zhang Ya was extremely nervous.

Li Che's eyebrows furrowed, but he wasn't overly concerned.

If Shangguan Qinglei's trump card was just a Seven Yuan Divine Armament...

Then he was finished.

Compared to divine armaments...

Even Li Che, an old man, couldn't compete with Xixi.

That girl was hiding a great terror!

Not to mention the 'Firetip Spear', just the Seven Yuan Divine Armament 'Heavenly Yuan Golden Ring' she received as a reward for becoming the true disciple would ensure Xixi wouldn't be at a disadvantage in terms of divine armaments."

"Shangguan Qinglei is actually using a Seven Yuan Divine Armament..."

A glint of severity flashed in Li Che's eyes.

...

On the arena.

As Shangguan Qinglei drew out the Seven Yuan Divine Armament, his aura soared, and he became frenzied, his black hair wild as he stared at Xixi's petite figure, his killing intent surging!

"Die!"

With a sharp cry, the Seven Yuan Divine Armament sword slashed towards Xixi!

Xixi narrowed her eyes, unaffected by the oppressive divine essence of the Seven Yuan Divine Armament.

Her neck swayed, and a golden ring suddenly whistled, bursting with dazzling golden light.

It was her 'Heavenly Yuan Golden Ring', slamming forward and colliding with the sword!

Ding!

Although neither child could unleash the full power of the Seven Yuan Divine Armament, the sheer quality of the weapon made their clash extremely dangerous. The divine essence released in the collision was terrifyingly powerful.

Xixi's body trembled slightly, her eyes shining with excitement.

Shangguan Qinglei's body shook, and blood sprayed from his sword-holding hand.

His face twisted in rage as he stared at Xixi, who held the golden ring, filled with anger, resentment, and killing intent.

Various divine essences seemed to swirl chaotically!

He wanted to scare Xixi with his ferocious appearance, hoping to turn the tide and regain control.

But Xixi wasn't afraid, and her ferocity even exceeded Shangguan Qinglei's expectations.

Xi Xi, as young as three, had followed her beloved Ox Demon Master in slaughtering an entire family.

No matter how fierce you are, could you ever match my Ox Demon Master?

The Heavenly Yuan Golden Ring blocked the Seven Yuan Divine Armament sword of Zhao Qinglei, and Xi Xi immediately closed in.

With her five fingers clenched, she unleashed the White Tiger Cyclone Fist!

The White Tiger Cyclone Fist, a master-level technique, instantly summoned a white tiger shadow, which, although not yet at the pinnacle of transformation, was already formidable!

In terms of strength, Zhao Qinglei was thoroughly overwhelmed.

Whether it was cultivation, mastery of martial skills, or divine armaments, Xi Xi suppressed him in every aspect!

How could he win?

Zhao Qinglei's eyes turned crimson, and he suddenly opened his mouth, slapping his chest with a palm.

The next moment...

A bizarre wooden totem, the size of a thumb, suddenly emerged from his throat!

"Die—!"

As Zhao Qinglei spat out the wooden totem, his eyes turned blood-red, and he seemed to lose all reason, his mind completely controlled by his divine essence.

He bit down fiercely.

Suddenly, he exerted force!

The wooden totem was instantly crushed by his bite!

An intense wave of death energy and corpse energy burst forth from the wooden totem!

"How dare you—!"

Below the arena.

A deafening roar of anger reverberated, causing everyone's ears to feel deafened.

The terrifying pressure of a high-level cultivator seemed to crush the mountains, pressing down so hard that it almost suffocated everyone's spirits.

Zhang Qingzheng reacted instantly as the wooden totem released death energy and corpse energy, unleashing his divine manifestation pressure to freeze the space.

Not only that, but Zhu Hong Dou, who was observing from a distance, also unleashed her fury.

The simultaneous eruption of the two divine manifestation experts' pressure was suffocating, and all the outer, inner, and true disciples present were frozen in place.

Zhao Qinglei, however, paid no heed and went into a frenzy of laughter. With his father dead, what else did he have to care about?

"Die, Li Nuan Xi!"

"Die together!"

Zhao Qinglei's mouth was filled with blood, and he had completely lost his sanity!

A divine child?

Why would a little girl from a humble background like you become a divine child?!

Within the shattered wooden totem, the death energy and corpse energy intertwined, transforming into an extremely pale white palm, like a malevolent spirit from hell, reaching out from the netherworld!

This palm...

...seemed to ignore the pressure of a divine manifestation cultivator!

Indeed, he had come prepared!

On the viewing platform, Li Che's eyes turned icy cold.

The Corpse Deity Sect!

It was the Corpse Deity Sect again!

That wooden totem was all too familiar. Back in Thunderbolt City, Cao He had held the bizarre wooden totem of the Desire Beyond Corpse Flesh Bodhimanda, which contained powerful death energy and the Corpse Curse Seal.

The wooden totem Zhao Qinglei carried also contained the Corpse Curse Seal of the Corpse Curse, and it was also a Seven Yuan level Corpse Curse Seal!

Xi Xi had hidden the wooden totem in her abdomen, using her qi blood and divine essence to conceal it.

Even Li Che hadn't noticed anything amiss at first.

But when Zhao Qinglei spat out the wooden totem, Li Che immediately sensed something wrong.

"Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal!"

"This is going to destroy Xi Xi!"

Li Che's heart surged with rage.

Once this Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal infiltrated Xi Xi's body, even the Sect Master Nan Lihuo would need to expend tremendous effort to suppress and restrict it!

Li Che's perception of the seal's aura was faster than both Zhang Qingzheng and Zhu Hong Dou.

The instant he sensed the aura...

The Chess Sage Dao Fruit in Li Che's chest began to throb.

...

...

Xi Xi also sensed the dense death energy and corpse energy and saw the white bone palm that emerged after Zhao Qinglei spat out and shattered the wooden totem.

It was as if a freezing chill had enveloped her, causing her flesh and blood to stiffen.

After all, she was just a three-year-old toddler, and at this moment, fear welled up in her heart.

However, on her arm, the Purple Serpent Divine Mark suddenly radiated heat, sweeping through her body and dispelling the freezing sensation that had stiffened her.

At the same time, within Xi Xi's Niwan Inner Scene.

A milk-white chess piece shot out at an astonishing speed.

The instant the white chess piece shot out, it collided with the white bone palm!

As if space collapsed, a powerful twisting force seemed to twist and crush the space in front of Xi Xi, swallowing it entirely...

The deathly white bone palm, before it could grab Xi Xi, was devoured by an unseen, mysterious force and vanished.

Xi Xi's eyes lit up.

"Ox Demon Master!"

Xi Xi sensed the familiar aura and immediately became arrogant, and with the Purple Serpent Divine Mark helping her dispel all pressure, she felt more powerful than ever.

At this moment, Xi Xi's courage soared. She closed in, took a heavy step, and turned her body, unleashing the White Tiger Cyclone Fist!

It was as if a white tiger roared, slamming into Zhao Qinglei, who was frozen by the divine manifestation pressure and unable to move.

Crack! Crackle!

Zhao Qinglei, suspended in mid-air, continuously spewed blood, his bones shattering and breaking!

It was like the sound of beans being fried, echoing continuously.

Xi Xi was startled by the white bone palm, feeling incredibly wronged.

Before Zhao Qinglei could land, Xi Xi approached him again, her plump little hand grabbing his body and starting to smash him like a sack of rice, relentlessly pounding him on the arena.

"You scared me, you scared me!"

Boom! Boom!

The terrifying force caused the arena to shake, and Zhao Qinglei's bones were completely shattered, leaving him unconscious.

If Xi Xi had continued pounding, he might have died.

However, Xi Xi didn't get to hit him much more.

Zhang Qingzheng and Zhu Hong Dou appeared simultaneously, calming Xi Xi, who was almost driven to a frenzy by her anger.

On the observation platform, Li Che solemnly suppressed the "Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal" within the Chess Sage Dao Fruit, and as if waking from a trance, he grabbed Zhang Ya and rushed onto the arena, a mix of anger and shock on his face.

Xi Xi, seeing Zhang Ya, immediately buried her face in Zhang Ya's embrace, feeling wronged.

"Mommy, you're here. It was so scary..."

Xi Xi's eyes welled up with tears.

But her words were true. The white bone claw formed from the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal had indeed scared Xi Xi. The momentary freezing sensation from the death energy had terrified her so much that she would need at least three bowls of braised pork to calm down.

"Xi Xi, don't be afraid. Mommy is here," Zhang Ya said, her face pale, holding Xi Xi with lingering fear.

Li Che's face darkened, his palms clenched together.

Zhang Qingzheng and Zhu Hongdou's powerful divine consciousness swept through the area, and only after a long while did it dissipate.

Sang Guanyin also hurried over and appeared on the arena.

"Uncle Li, it was my negligence."

On Sang Guanyin's gentle and beautiful face, an ugly expression of anger appeared.

Seeing that Xi Xi was unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Che didn't respond to him, his face still dark. Technically speaking, this kind of negligence was severe, and it would be a miracle if Li Che's mood improved.

Zhang Qingzheng and Zhu Hongdou, both Divine Appearance Elders, also had unsightly expressions, and their eyes were filled with an extremely dense killing intent.

"That was... the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal. It's so vicious!"

"They wanted to destroy Xi Xi and ruin our sect's Divine Child!"

Zhu Hongdou's face was cold as she spoke in a deep voice.

Zhang Qingzheng shook his head, "Not only that, but once the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal enters Xi Xi's body, the Sect Master will not give up easily. He will definitely do his best to suppress it for Xi Xi."

"Even the Sect Master would find it difficult to suppress the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal. It would require a lot of energy."

"The other party's intention is clearly to destroy our sect's Divine Child and, at the same time, restrain the Sect Master."

"If the Sect Master, who has reached the pinnacle of Divine Appearance cultivation in Jin Guang City, is restrained, the Corpse Deity Sect will likely make a move to sweep through the entire city!"

Zhang Qingzheng narrowed his eyes, and from his dead fish eyes, an extremely cold killing intent burst forth.

"What about the Corpse Curse Seal?"

Zhang Qingzheng suddenly focused his gaze.

Amidst his confusion, he also felt a sense of relief.

Because the Corpse Deity Sect's Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal was so powerful that even he couldn't guarantee he could stop it in time, unless he used his physical body to resist it and draw the Corpse Curse Seal into his own body!

Zhang Qingzheng had even planned to do so.

He intended to use himself as a sacrifice, bearing the Corpse Curse Seal to protect Xi Xi!

However, the Corpse Curse Seal suddenly disappeared.

It was as if a pure divine nature had flown out of Xi Xi's body, taking the Corpse Curse Seal with it.

"Was that a method left by the Sect Master?"

Zhang Qingzheng suddenly thought, his stiff face softening as he exhaled.

"Elder Zhang, what exactly happened here?"

Li Che's face was dark, and as a parent, he naturally wanted to get to the bottom of this and find out the truth.

Zhang Qingzheng looked at Li Che, and for once, a hint of shame appeared in his dead fish eyes. He gave a brief explanation, taking full responsibility for Xi Xi's encounter this time.

Li Che's expression softened, "It's not Elder Zhang's fault... No one could have predicted this."

"Who would have thought that the Corpse Deity Sect would use a seven-year-old child, willing to die together, and use a Divine Nature Totem to carry the Corpse Curse Seal."

Li Che loosened his grip.

"But... Elder Zhang, this is too serious. What happened to Shangguan Qinglei is one thing, but there might be a second incident. As parents, we can't feel at ease."

Li Che spoke in a deep voice.

Zhang Qingzheng's expression was extremely solemn; this matter was indeed a big deal.

Since Zhao Zhengheng's death, Shangguan Qinglei had never returned to the Shangguan Clan. The Divine Sect had restricted his movements, fearing contact with the Corpse Deity Sect.

If Shangguan Qinglei hadn't returned to the Shangguan Clan, how did he come into contact with the Corpse Deity Sect?

Perhaps there were members of the Corpse Deity Sect hiding within the Divine Sect, and they held a high position within the sect, as evidenced by the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal they carried!

"Rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give Xi Xi justice."

The killing intent that burst from Zhang Qingzheng's teeth was almost tangible, as someone who had always acted with integrity, he couldn't tolerate the presence of the Corpse Deity Sect's evildoers within the sect.

"Who is Shangguan Qinglei's mentor?"

Li Che asked.

Inner sect disciples couldn't pay respects to senior elders, so they could only pay respects to senior officers. For example, Li Qingshan was a senior officer, but not all senior officers had their own peaks.

Li Qingshan was among the top-tier officers, which was why he had a peak.

"Shangguan Qinglei... seems to have paid respects to Zhao Jianmian of Sword Cloud Peak..."

Zhu Hongdou said.

Zhang Qingzheng and Zhu Hongdou exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Sang Guanyin spoke up at this point, "I need to report this to the Sect Master..."

With Xi Xi safe with her parents and the presence of Zhu Hongdou and Zhang Qingzheng, the two Divine Appearance Elders, Sang Guanyin felt relieved and left to report to the Sect Master.

The commotion below continued for a while.

Zhang Qingzheng stepped forward to continue hosting the event. He glanced at Shangguan Qinglei, who had been half-beaten by Xi Xi, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps Shangguan Qinglei had been deceived, but without any thoughts of his own, he wouldn't have been deceived.

He swept out a divine nature with his sleeve, which landed on Shangguan Qinglei, helping him hang on to his life. Then, he stopped treating him and handed him over to the sect's specialized healing department.

Li Che and Zhang Ya left with Xi Xi, while Gong Yuanliang, Ram Xiu, and others gathered around to ask about Xi Xi's condition and offer comfort.

Xi Xi showed a brilliant smile, "I'm fine. You guys better not act like Shangguan Qinglei, or I won't show mercy!"

Xi Xi pinched her chubby little hand, threatening them like an older sister.

Gong Yuanliang and Ram Xiu immediately nodded repeatedly.

From a distance, Hai Chao Sheng, Huang Si Xiang, and others also looked over and, seeing that Xi Xi was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xi Xi was safe, Zhang Ya's mood also relaxed.

Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but blink.

"Husband, Xi Xi seems to have quite a high charm among the disciples of the Divine Sect."

Li Che held Xi Xi, his face expressionless, "Hmph, a bunch of brats, they know nothing about charm."

The couple left with Xi Xi, while Zhu Hongdou followed, not returning to Jin Guang Peak but heading to the Thunder Peak where Li Qingshan was located.

Li Che and Zhang Ya, the couple, had a residence on Thunder Peak.

They arrived at a small courtyard halfway up Thunder Peak, where Mu Po was watering the flowers in the courtyard.

Hearing the commotion, she looked over and saw Li Che and Zhang Ya holding Xi Xi, with Zhu Hongdou following behind. She immediately understood that something major had happened.

Lu Chi also poked his head out from the courtyard, and seeing Xi Xi in Li Che's arms, looking aggrieved, his eyes turned red.

"Uncle Li, who bullied Xi Xi?!"

Lu Chi grabbed a Wrathful Third Prince Divine Nature Totem and rushed over.

(End of Chapter)

Li Che glanced at Lu Chi, who immediately calmed down.

At that moment, Mu Po hobbled over with her python-headed cane, inquiring about the situation.

After Li Che briefly explained the matter, Mu Po's expression changed in shock.

"Within the Divine Sect... such a thing happened?"

"I'll go get Qingshan."

Mu Po slammed her python-headed cane and was about to get up.

"I'm already here."

However, before Mu Po could stand up, Li Qingshan's voice drifted over, and a figure in a blue robe glided in from outside the courtyard.

Li Qingshan patted Mu Po's shoulder and then looked at Zhu Hong Dou: "You and Elder Zhang, both Divine Appearance Cultivators, were on watch, and yet this still happened... Truly embarrassing!"

Zhu Hong Dou's face was cold, and her mood was terrible: "I'm going to the Shangguan family to find some trouble! I'll make them give me a reason!"

Zhu Hong Dou left with a single sentence and transformed into a red cloud, gliding out and rolling towards the direction of Jin Guang City.

Li Qingshan glanced at Xi Xi and saw that her mental state was good, unlike one who had been imprinted with a corpse curse seal. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he gave Li Che a signal.

The two of them left the room.

"That Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal... Did you take it in?"

Li Qingshan asked.

Li Che looked at Li Qingshan, thought for a moment, and didn't hide the truth. He nodded.

Li Qingshan sucked in a breath, and his face twitched slightly.

That was a Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal...

Is this kid born with a pure and sacred body? Immune to curses?

Dare to suppress the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal?

"How do you feel now?" Li Qingshan asked cautiously.

Li Che smiled warmly: "Don't worry, it's suppressed... It won't cause trouble for now, but I also need to find a place to eradicate this corpse curse seal, which may take a long time."

"That's normal... After all, it's a Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal. Even if a Divine Appearance Elder was infected, it would be extremely troublesome. This is, after all, a power at the Divine Appearance level."

Li Qingshan nodded.

Then he narrowed his eyes, and thunder arcs surged around him. Killing intent rolled: "Finally, the culprit has shown their hand..."

"This time, it must be the doing of a hidden Corpse Deity Sect expert within the sect!"

"Moreover, the person's status is not low, possessing a Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal. Didn't you tell me that you couldn't sense or investigate beyond the Eight Trigrams Corpse Curse Seals? The opponent must have been bestowed with the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal, which is why you couldn't detect them."

"Since Shangguan Qinglei's father, Shangguan Zhenheng, died, he has been confined to the Divine Sect, and the Shangguan Clan has been investigated by the Temple Guard Office."

"Even if it were a hidden Corpse Deity Sect member from the Shangguan family, it wouldn't be possible to arrange this at such a critical time."

"I'll investigate the people Shangguan Qinglei has been in contact with this month, and I'll be able to deduce who has manipulated him into such behavior."

"A seven-year-old child, whose mind is not mature, and who has just experienced a major family change, is too easily deceived."

Li Qingshan exhaled.

Suddenly, from the side, Li Che's emotionless and indifferent voice drifted over.

"How will the Divine Sect deal with Shangguan Qinglei?"

In the cold voice, you want to know how the Divine Sect will handle Shangguan Qinglei?

Li Qingshan looked at Li Che: "The Divine Sect has its rules... And Shangguan Qinglei is, after all, a descendant of the Shangguan family. They will most likely detain him, and only after the investigation results come out will they give a verdict."

"But at the very least, Shangguan Qinglei's cultivation will be lost."

After hearing this, Li Che's expression didn't change much.

"Not enough."

Li Qingshan frowned, wondering what was not enough.

Then Li Che changed the topic: "Peak Master, prepare a room for me where I won't be disturbed."

"Go to my Divine Observation Secret Chamber."

Li Qingshan directly suggested.

He knew that Li Che was probably going to try to refine the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Seal, and this was no small matter. If it exploded, the impact would be even greater.

"No need, just find me a regular room."

Li Che said.

Going into Li Qingshan's secret chamber for closed-door cultivation at this time would be too noticeable.

An ordinary room would be sufficient.

With the Heaven and Earth Chessboard enveloping the room, all investigations could be blocked, no less effective than Li Qingshan's secret chamber.

Li Che first returned to the room to explain to his wife and daughter, then went to the ordinary room arranged by Li Qingshan.

Zhang Ya and Xi Xi were at the Thunder Peak, and with Li Qingshan there, there was no danger.

Even if a powerful Divine Appearance Cultivator attacked, Li Qingshan could hold out until Sect Master Nan Lihuo's support arrived, so Thunder Peak was safe.

Li Che entered a room with peace of mind.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded silently and seamlessly.

The world became quiet in an instant.

Li Che sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyelids slightly lowered.

This time, if it weren't for his quick perception and the Thunderbolt Chess Piece drawing away the Corpse Curse Seal, Xi Xi would have surely been imprinted. Even with him there, she wouldn't have been in danger, and he could have removed the Corpse Curse Seal.

But the pain would have been unavoidable.

Shangguan Qinglei's murderous intent towards Xi Xi was so strong. How could Li Che let him live?

The Divine Sect had its rules.

But Li Che...

Also had his rules! Those who want to harm my daughter...

Die! Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, and the Thunderbolt Chess Piece he had left on Shangguan Qinglei's body was suddenly clenched in his palm.

Thunderbolt Teleportation!

In the serene Healing Pavilion.

Shangguan Qinglei had regained consciousness. He opened his eyes, lying on the bed with his whole body's bones broken, devoid of sensation. He stared at the ceiling, his eyes lifeless.

He knew his future was over.

His plan had failed, and that person... would definitely not come.

Suddenly.

His eyes flickered.

He turned his head to the side.

His pupils shrank.

A figure appeared out of thin air.

That familiar face made seven-year-old Shangguan Qinglei tremble violently...

He opened his mouth as if he had seen something extremely terrifying and wanted to scream.

But the next moment—

Crack...

His neck was twisted.

End of Chapter.
