Chapter 153: What You Call Four Years Old? Xixi the Emperor Will Protect You (Part 1)
Nan Lihuo crushed the white chess piece that Niu Mo had left for him.
It signaled the impending action.
Li Che sat in the carriage, jostling along the bumpy road, a noticeable difference from the comfort of the Gong family carriage that had brought him to Divine Falcon Ridge the last time.
He gazed out the window at the passing scenery.
Li Che's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Killing Wen Longshan was no easy task. First and foremost, Wen Longshan's cultivation was already extremely powerful.
On top of that, his Seven Elemental Divine Arrow Art was almost at the pinnacle, making him a formidable opponent, no less challenging than any Primordial Incarnation cultivator.
Hence, if Nan Lihuo was taking action, he must have at least an eighty percent certainty of killing Wen Longshan, or he wouldn't have made his move.
Li Che leaned back against the soft cushions of the carriage.
His fingers lightly tapped on the table.
Then, a slight smirk curled up at the corners of his lips.
Since the Sect Master had confidence...
This Wen Longshan would naturally have to be eliminated!
Across from Li Che, Gong Yunli was eating dried fruit, chatting idly with Li Che.
"Ah Che, I'm curious. How did you manage to impress Tang Ridge Lord? Was it really just your talent?" Gong Yunli asked, propping up her chin with one hand and leaning her chest on the table for comfort, while maintaining a curious gaze.
She still hadn't guessed that Li Che was the same person as Niu Mo.
Her eyes, though clear, betrayed a hint of foolishness.
Li Che twitched his lips.
After casually responding to Gong Yunli, Li Che made an excuse to get off the carriage for some fresh air.
Gong Yunli didn't refuse.
The Strange Temple of the Fire-Eye Thunderous Spirit Ape was not far from Golden Light City.
Located in the area of the Heart Ape Temple, it was only about half an hour's journey by carriage. Getting off to stretch their legs and enjoy the snowy scenery was not a problem.
The snow along the Nine Dragon River was somewhat disappointing due to the inability of the river to freeze over, but the rising steam created a unique winter scene, like clouds and mist in the sky.
It had its own charm.
Gong Yunli also draped a fox fur over her shoulders and stepped out of the carriage to enjoy the fresh air, gazing at the surging river, her mood lightening.
Li Che glanced at her, then activated the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, shielding his spiritual sense.
He turned and entered the forest, and when he emerged, he had transformed into a doppelganger of the Painter of Immortals.
Within this doppelganger was a Thunderbolt Chess Piece.
After the task was complete, Li Che could directly teleport over.
"Junior Supervisor, let's go," Li Che said with a smile.
"Huh? You're done? So fast?" Gong Yunli had just stretched her arms and was surprised that Li Che had already finished.
She reluctantly climbed back into the carriage with a hint of frustration.
After the carriage drove away, a towering figure slowly emerged from the forest.
He wore a bamboo hat and a black cloak, towering like a mountain, with a cute cow mask covering his face.
He adjusted his hat.
Li Che watched the carriage disappear into the snowstorm, and with a clench of his fist, the white Thunderbolt Chess Piece was crushed in his hand.
With a shift of his body, he vanished.
...
...
Zhen Lei Peak.
A bustling scene unfolded.
Nan Lihuo sat in the main seat, and beside him was his senior brother, Wang Kuyu, who had come from Dao City.
Wang Kuyu narrowed his eyes, and with a flick of his whisk, he watched as Nan Lihuo raised his hand, and a red paper crane flapped its wings and landed in his palm.
"Junior Brother... You still haven't given up?" Wang Kuyu sighed, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
Nan Lihuo glanced at the Daoist: "Senior Brother... Do you think I can give up?"
Wang Kuyu turned to look at the large courtyard in front of the Divine Shrine: "I brought the divine children from Dao City with me. Before the 'Temple God Resonance', I want to have them compete with that genius from your Golden Light Branch Sect who is ranked on the Dao City Divine Child Ranking..."
"Are you planning to shirk your responsibilities again?"
Nan Lihuo's white hair fluttered as he laughed, "Senior Brother, it's not often that you come here..."
"It's been a long time since I've watched over things for you."
"Shouldn't I trouble you a bit more?"
Wang Kuyu extended his hand and patted Nan Lihuo, his helplessness evident on his face.
"You're still as clever as ever, always scheming to trouble your senior brother..."
"Didn't senior brother also often cover for me in the past?"
Nan Lihuo stood up, and the white silk robe he wore fluttered in the gentle breeze, making the sleeves seem like inflated windbags.
"Then, help me out again?"
Wang Kuyu leaned back in his chair, his face filled with bitterness.
"I shouldn't have come to this Golden Light City... I came here, and you're treating me like a horse to be ordered around!"
"Last time, I helped suppress the Four Sacred Anomaly Temples, and this time..."
"You want me to watch over your place!"
A smile played on Nan Lihuo's lips as he said, "Then, Senior Brother... are you going to kill for me?"
The Daoist didn't hesitate for a second and immediately shook his head like a drum.
"I've never killed anyone!"
"Don't ask me to do this."
Wang Kuyu spoke hurriedly.
Nan Lihuo's smile gradually faded.
"Senior Brother... sometimes... you don't kill, but others want to kill you..."
"You're too kind."
"In this world, kindness... is not always a good thing."
Nan Lihuo spoke earnestly.
Wang Kuyu waved his hand, "Sigh, I'm just like this. I can only be fierce to my little fat apprentice... Junior Brother, you should be careful."
"I just came to see you, afraid that if I wait a few more years, I won't be able to see you again."
Nan Lihuo smiled warmly.
Without further words, his gaze turned to the large courtyard in front of the Golden Peak.
He looked at the group of divine children and spiritual children from the Divine Sect, like little radishes.
He looked at the little girl with her hands on her waist, her small belly protruding as she held her head high.
His eyes softened.
"Senior Brother... you can help me out by assessing Xi Xi's talent. Being ranked on the Dao City Divine Child Ranking means she should have received the acknowledgment of the Heavenly Divination Bureau's Inspector," Nan Lihuo said.
"But... do you think Xi Xi can enter the eyes of the Orthodoxy's Elder?"
Nan Lihuo spoke.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Wang Kuyu straightened up. Unless they were discussing matters of life and death, he would always be serious.
However, after taking a look at the little girl who acted like a little tyrant, Wang Kuyu's face showed a deep conflict.
"Difficult, difficult, difficult... The Elder of the Orthodoxy has not accepted disciples for many years."
"Two years ago, a genius who was ranked tenth on the Dao City Divine Child Ranking came to pay respects to the mountain and wanted to join the Orthodoxy, but he was also not accepted."
"The Elder of the Orthodoxy may not accept disciples anymore."
Nan Lihuo's eyebrows slowly furrowed: "Shouldn't there still be one spot left for the Orthodoxy's direct disciple?"
"Yes, there's one spot left, but it doesn't mean they will definitely accept her..."
Wang Kuyu shook his head.
"Xi Xi's talent is truly exceptional!"
Nan Lihuo spoke solemnly.
"Junior Brother, this girl's talent is indeed remarkable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been noticed by the Dao City Heavenly Divination Bureau and ranked twenty-first on the Divine Child Ranking.
"But... it's only the twenty-first." Wang Kuyu added.
"Xixi is only four years old!"
Nan Lihuo spoke seriously, she's only four years old, what more could be expected? The Daoist paused, "If she wasn't four years old... she might not even make it onto the Divine Child Ranking."
Nan Lihuo exhaled.
He fell silent.
"Don't be discouraged, brother. This matter... whether to accept or not, it's up to the Orthodoxy Patriarch."
"Perhaps... the Orthodoxy Patriarch took a liking to this little girl?"
Wang Kuyu didn't fully commit to his words.
Nan Lihuo smiled, no longer dwelling on it, and asked the Daoist to preside over this challenge.
Subsequently, his figure gracefully entered the Divine Shrine.
The door abruptly closed, and the sound rumbled.
Wang Kuyu flicked his dustpan and sighed, "Brother, when will this grudge end?"
"Su Huaili... Ji Ma Li, the Tyrannical War Queen's youngest disciple, and also her most favored one, was sent to Golden Light City... not only for the Four Sacred Anomaly Temples, but also..."
"There's also a consideration for you, brother."
"Ji Ma Li... has also taken notice of you."
Wang Kuyu shook his head; he didn't know how to dissuade him.
He suddenly pinched his fingers, and a white paper crane flew into his hand.
"Who does brother want to kill?"
"Could it be Ji Ma Li's youngest son, the five-year-old young master...?"
"Brother, you're not planning to kill this young prince, are you?"
Wang Kuyu took a deep breath.
Impossible...
Ji Ma Li's son... how could he be so easily targeted?
Perhaps a Grandmaster was secretly protecting him.
Brother, don't go and get yourself killed.
He shook his head.
Wang Kuyu stopped thinking about these matters.
On the large courtyard.
The Elder of Two Sleeves Peak, Zhang Qingzheng, with his stern face, indifferently scanned the group of children below.
He was hosting this challenge exchange again.
In the distance.
Zhu Hongdou crossed his arms, wearing a red robe, and was also watching with great interest.
There was also the amiable and smiling Weng Wuyu.
Most of the elders from the Golden Light Branch Sect had arrived.
Li Qing Shan accompanied Mu Po Po, still trying to please her. Now that Li Qing Shan had officially reached the Divine Image Advanced Stage, he succeeded Xu Jiuling as the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Zhen Lei Peak had also become one of the Four Elder Peaks.
The status of Flying Sword Peak had fallen because of Xu Jiuling's incident, and its true disciples had been demoted to inner disciples.
It was considered an unlucky turn of events.
But this was a matter of luck.
As for Zhen Lei Peak's Lu Chi, he had directly advanced from an inner disciple to a true disciple.
Additionally, Huang Siling, an inner disciple who had joined Li Qing Shan's sect, had also been promoted to a true disciple position. This was mainly because Flying Sword Peak had an extra true disciple quota...
Huang Siling was also confused.
Initially, there were four true disciples: Hai Chaosheng from Flying Sword Peak, Gong Yuanliang from Two Sleeves Peak, Gong Yangxiu from Southern Mountain Peak, and Zhu Hongdou who hadn't accepted a true disciple.
Hai Chaosheng had lost his true disciple position due to this matter.
He was extremely aggrieved.
Under one elder, there couldn't be two true disciples; this was the rule.
Hai Chaosheng could only wait for the sect's annual assessment at the end of the year to regain his true disciple position.
Li Qing Shan was sitting in a chair, comforting Mu Po Po.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught something.
His comforting words halted, and he narrowed his eyes, scanning the distance.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a familiar towering figure...
"Niu Mo?"
Li Qing Shan frowned.
Recently, Qing Xiu Niu Ma had been less active, and he was actually having hallucinations, even missing Niu Mo?
"No! That's definitely Niu Mo!"
"Damn! Why didn't you call me?!"
Li Qing Shan immediately understood.
How could Niu Mo appear at Golden Peak without reason?
Li Qing Shan, with his keen sense for trouble, quickly understood the situation.
"Niu Mo... secretly taking on a job without me?"
...
...
Nan Lihuo crushed the white chess piece.
His nearly transformed Primordial Spirit had scanned this chess piece many times.
It was just an ordinary Divine Chess Piece, with nothing unusual about it.
But when he crushed the piece, Niu Mo could sense it?
How was information transmitted? What secret technique was this? Nan Lihuo was curious. Although the transmitted information was limited, it could be crucial in critical moments, potentially altering the course of battles.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a towering figure slowly emerged.
A straw hat, black robe, and a cute cow mask.
If it wasn't Niu Mo, who else could it be? He had actually appeared! Nan Lihuo's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more curious about Niu Mo's breath-concealing stealth technique.
"The Underworld..."
An unheard-of power.
To possess such a stealth technique, they must be extraordinary.
"South Patriarch."
Under the cow mask, a deep, hoarse voice echoed.
"He's here?"
"Where's Horse Face?"
"The Divine Marksman won't easily reveal his position... I'm here, and when it's time to act, he'll make his move."
Niu Mo spoke in a deep voice.
Nan Lihuo waved his sleeves behind his back.
"Good."
"The plan."
Li Che, wearing the cow mask, slightly focused his eyes and asked.
"Wen Longshan has been ordered to leave Golden Light City to pick up a person."
"The best time to kill him is on his way to meet this person."
Nan Lihuo said.
"However, we must complete the assassination of Wen Longshan before he meets the person... Once Wen Longshan meets that person, we must immediately withdraw."
Nan Lihuo spoke in a deep voice.
"Why?"
"The person Wen Longshan is going to meet... is the five-year-old youngest son of Ji Ma Li, the Tyrannical War Queen, who is coming to the Strange Temple of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince to participate in the Temple God Resonance as a Divine Child."
"The son of the Tyrannical War Queen?!"
Li Che's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, the son of the Tyrannical War Queen, it's said that his Aspiration Purple Qi breaks through three hundred feet, ranking tenth on the Divine Capital's Divine Child Ranking."
"His talent is quite good." Li Che praised.
"No, his talent is too poor... he's the weakest among Ji Ma Li's five children."
Nan Lihuo said.
Li Che was speechless.
"That's why he was sent to Golden Light City, hoping to gain this opportunity of the Four Sacred Anomaly Temples..."
Nan Lihuo spoke in a deep voice.
"In fact, the Tyrannical War Queen had started planning and paving the way for her youngest son a long time ago... This inheritance of the Strange Temple of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince in Golden Light City is something she prepared for her youngest son, and she is determined to obtain it."
"Su Huaili's appointment as the City Lord of Golden Light City is also likely related to Ji Ma Li."
Li Che nodded.
Nan Lihuo's expression suddenly turned solemn, and he suddenly flicked his sleeves.
