Chapter 184: The Nine Dragon River's Surge and Temple Deity Resonance, Father Will Always Protect Xi

Chapter 184: The Nine Dragon River's Surge and Temple Deity Resonance, Father Will Always Protect Xi Xi

Click-clack, click-clack!

A dazzling hum tore through the temple's tranquility!

Intense flames erupted from the Golden Wheel, accompanied by its high-speed rotation, causing the air to distort and vibrate, with scorching waves of light rippling across the wheel.

The Heavenly King Tower trembled incessantly, and the countless rays of light that hung down seemed like broken chains, shattering one after another!

Everyone heard the sound of glass shattering on the ground, breaking into pieces!

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

A terrifying divine essence burst forth from the Golden Wheel, overwhelming and majestic.

The heat was so intense that the entire temple seemed to be getting hotter.

The Golden Wheel roared out, and as it sped along, the flames were flung backward due to inertia, creating a tail like a comet.

At this moment, the entire temple, both inside and out, fell into silence.

Elder Jiao Shaqiu, Nan Lihuo, and Wang Kuyu's eyes narrowed slightly as they watched the Four Sacred Armaments Hell Lotus Flame Wind Golden Wheel shoot out from the temple.

The oppressive force was overwhelming, sweeping through like a tidal wave.

Li Che's eyes flickered slightly, and while he was surprised, he didn't make any moves.

Because he didn't sense any malice from the Hell Lotus Flame Wind Golden Wheel.

It seemed...

This divine armament was only attracted by the Purple Flame Serpent Spear Flame-tip Spear in Xi Xi's arms.

It was an attraction between armaments of the same origin, which was why Li Che didn't react.

But others didn't know, and Nan Lihuo's face changed slightly.

His fingers trembled, and his eyes and body suddenly ignited with flames.

G

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

However, as the Flame Wind Golden Wheel spun, the divine essence flames he shot out instantly exploded, resembling tiny stars.

Boom!

The speed of the Flame Wind Golden Wheel was too fast!

Countless waves of air were pushed aside, and many children's faces showed signs of fear.

Xi Xi, on the other hand, wasn't scared at all. Her big eyes darted around, and although she claimed the wheel was flirting with her, in reality, she was the one beckoning it.

On Xi Xi's shoulder, the butterfly spread its wings, resembling a nervous kitten ready to burst.

Beside them.

Elder Jiao Shaqiu, the true elder of the Divine Sect, narrowed his cloudy eyes.

Unlike Nan Lihuo, he didn't try to stop the Hell Lotus Flame Wind Golden Wheel. Instead, he looked at Xi Xi with a hint of surprise.

It was as if... he had found a treasure!

Could she...

...attract the Hell Lotus Flame Wind Golden Wheel?

It seemed like the Golden Wheel was actively seeking a master. Elder Jiao Shaqiu rarely saw the Golden Wheel behave so strangely.

Whoosh—

As expected.

The Hell Lotus Flame Wind Golden Wheel roared with overwhelming force, its flames swirling, but as it approached Xi Xi's tiny body, it suddenly came to a halt.

It spun quietly, hovering in front of Xi Xi.

The flames burned, scorching hot, but Xi Xi didn't feel any heat at all.

The Golden Wheel spun, and the gentle breeze blew her wisps of hair across her forehead.

Others...

Even Li Che, standing nearby, could feel the Golden Wheel's heat and intensity, as if it contained a terrifying power capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.

It seemed to repel everyone else and favor Xi Xi exclusively.

Li Che couldn't help but be speechless.

This little girl... knew how to charm the Golden Wheel.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Inside the temple.

The Golden Heavenly King Tower seemed a bit embarrassed and angry, and the divine essences intertwined, forming a golden chain that entangled and locked the Flame Wind Golden Wheel once again.

It was like restraining an excited puppy, slowly pulling it back into the temple.

Boom, boom, boom!

The commotion gradually subsided, and the Golden Wheel calmed down.

Outside the temple, everything was quiet.

Xi Xi pouted, giving the Golden Heavenly King Tower a dissatisfied glance, as if her toy had been snatched away.

Elder Jiao Shaqiu's eyes gleamed strangely, his purple intent swirling as he looked at Xi Xi as if she were a treasure.

Nan Lihuo extinguished his Golden Hellfire body and exhaled, his heart finally calming down.

At this moment, he vaguely understood something.

"Xi Xi... Your resonance level might be a bit high?"

Nan Lihuo's heart trembled.

This Hell Lotus Flame Wind Golden Wheel had shot out from the Eight-Armed Infernal Lotus Wrathful Third Prince's Strange Temple, deeply connected to the temple.

Being able to attract the Golden Wheel...

Xi Xi's resonance with the temple deity might exceed expectations.

Elder Jiao Shaqiu shook his head, "It's hard to say... Resonance with temple deities is unpredictable. It's all up to the temple deity, not the armament."

"But, this little girl... has a natural advantage when it comes to temple deity armaments."

"Good girl, good girl..."

A radiant smile appeared on Elder Jiao Shaqiu's aged face.

Nan Lihuo could sense Elder Jiao Shaqiu's appreciation.

His heart stirred, and he said, "Elder Jiao Shaqiu, I wonder... Does this girl have a chance to become the Ancestor Grand Deity's final personal disciple?"

Elder Jiao Shaqiu understood Nan Lihuo's intentions immediately.

Stroking his beard, he said, "The news that the Ancestor Grand Deity will accept only one more disciple has spread far and wide. As the top expert in Lingnan Dao, the Ancestor's decision to take on a disciple has attracted the attention of many factions."

"This little girl... has a great chance."

"A Grandmaster Martial Body is a rare sight even in the entire Lingnan Dao."

Elder Jiao Shaqiu chuckled.

Nan Lihuo heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and his heart couldn't help but feel delighted, as if a weight had been lifted from his mind.

Li Che, on the other hand, listened with flickering eyes.

"Ancestor Grand Deity?"

Only those in the Divine Embryo Realm could be called Grand Deities.

Nan Lihuo wanted Xi Xi to become a disciple of the Grand Deity?

As if sensing Li Che's emotional fluctuations, Nan Lihuo looked over and smiled, "The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's main branch has one remaining spot for a personal disciple. After accepting this disciple, the Ancestor Grand Deity will no longer accept new disciples."

"The Ancestor has set up tests in Dao City to recruit disciples. If Xi Xi goes to Dao City, she can give it a try. What if she succeeds?"

"Xi Xi's talent is extraordinary, whether it's her divine essence or martial arts talent, they are all exceptional..."

"Only by becoming a disciple of the Grand Deity can she have better development."

"She will also have..." Nan Lihuo added seriously, "...better protection."

Li Che was Xi Xi's father, so it was natural for Nan Lihuo to explain this to him.

As a father, he naturally wanted his daughter to have a better future.

Li Che's thoughts stirred slightly.

Indeed, an idea had formed in his mind.

Nan Lihuo's eyes flashed, and he said, "Xi Xi beat the youngest son of the Demon King, Ji Mo Li..."

"Even without considering Ji Mo Li, just his mother, Ji Hai Hui, is a Dragon Deity clan's Dragon Girl with an explosive and domineering temperament. She will definitely come to cause trouble for Xi Xi."

"The Dragon Deity clan has an explosive and domineering nature. They don't like to negotiate with others. Xi Xi beat the Dragon Girl's son, so that Dragon Girl will definitely become furious."

"If that Dragon Girl comes, it will still pose a significant threat to Xi Xi."

"Therefore, if Xi Xi can become a disciple of the Grand Deity, her safety will be somewhat guaranteed."

"Even if Ji Mo Li comes in person, he will have to give the Ancestor Grand Deity some face."

Nan Lihuo spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Che fell silent.

Beside him, Elder Jiao Shaqiu's hand paused mid-stroke of his beard.

"This little girl also beat Ji Mo Li's youngest son, Ji Hai Hui?" Elder Jiao Shaqiu looked at little Xi Xi in astonishment, speechless.

Apparently, this little girl was also a troublemaker.

Xi Xi, on the other hand, was very excited. She clenched her chubby little fist and said, "That little servant girl made a bet with me, and when she lost, she didn't want to admit it! She acted like a coward!"

"Hmph, just like what that little fatty Zhou Peng said, if you don't admit to a bet, you're not a good person!"

Li Che's face darkened as he stood beside her.

"Did the little fatty teach you to say that?"

Xi Xi nodded seriously.

Li Che glanced at the little fatty Zhou Peng, who was stuffing his mouth with a meat bun.

What nonsense had he taught her!

Zhou Peng, realizing his mistake, raised his head and shivered, suddenly losing his appetite for the bun.

Yun E, standing nearby, seemed to catch Li Che's gaze and pursed her lips, taking a step back to distance herself from Zhou Peng.

"But Ji Hai Hui is just a five-year-old child. It's normal for him to be unwilling to admit defeat after losing a bet, just a childish tantrum. What can he do?"

Elder Jiao Shaqiu stroked his beard and laughed.

Hearing that Little Prince Ji Hai Hui had come with a Grandmaster, only to be beaten up by Xi Xi and retreat with a swollen face, everyone's mood brightened considerably.

After all, the Jin Guang Branch Sect was under the Divine Sect, representing its prestige.

This little girl, Xi Xi, had restored the Divine Sect's reputation, and as an Elder, Elder Jiao Shaqiu couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Good girl, rest assured... Your Elder Grandpa will protect you."

Elder Jiao Shaqiu's eyes softened as he ruffled Xi Xi's head.

"After the Temple Deity Resonance Conference, I'll take you to Dao City, to the main branch of the Divine Sect."

"By then, no one will dare to bully Xi Xi."

Elder Jiao Shaqiu spoke gently.

Xi Xi, however, blushed in embarrassment.

"Xi Xi's friends are all here. Can they go too? And Xi Xi's father, mother, and that smelly old Chen..."

Xi Xi raised her hand and started counting them off one by one.

Elder Jiao Shaqiu burst into laughter.

This little girl...

He ruffled Xi Xi's head again.

Elder Jiao Shaqiu then began calling out the other exceptional Spirit Children one by one, assessing their talents, examining their bones, and offering guidance for their future cultivation.

"In three days, the Temple Deity Resonance Conference will begin..."

As Li Che descended from Jin Guang Peak, his eyes flickered slightly, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

He felt a mix of worry, apprehension, and anticipation.

...

...

Outside Jin Guang City.

Large raindrops fell from the vast sky.

A black dot slowly expanded, and thick black gas swirled out, gradually forming a massive vortex of death.

A figure emerged from within.

One large and one small.

The larger figure wore a black robe, with thick, dark hair cascading down to his waist. His face was covered by a white mask, and the character 'Seven' was written in blood on it.

It was Yuan Jinhua, the Corpse God Envoy of the Corpse God Sect, hidden in Jin Guang City, who had never been discovered by Niu Mo.

Yuan Jinhua led a child by the hand.

The child's skin was so white it glowed, his eyes were lifeless, and he had dark circles under his eyes. His shoulders slumped, and he wore a red belly guard and loose pants.

His thick hair was tied into two buns.

"The main branch of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect sent someone. It's that old man, Elder Jiao Shaqiu, who fell from the Golden Body Transformation to the Essence Spirit Transformation..." Yuan Jinhua said indifferently.

"This old man is not simple. He looks like he's about to die, but once he fights with all his might, he's probably very scary."

"Our main goal is the Third Prince's Temple Deity... If we can succeed, we'll try. If not..."

Yuan Jinhua turned his head towards the little boy he was holding by the hand.

"Do you understand?"

The boy with dark circles under his eyes shrugged, "I know."

"Capturing a strand of the Third Prince's Temple Deity's divine crystal? This... for me, it's a piece of cake, with absolutely no difficulty."

Hearing the little kid's confident words, Yuan Jinhua's mask seemed to bloom with a smile.

"Temple Deity Resonance..."

"Temple Guardian Office, Heavenly Divination Bureau, even the King of Pacifying Rebellions, Ji Mo, sent his child... there's no reason why the Corpse God Sect can't send a child too."

Yuan Jinhua chuckled softly.

But soon, his laughter turned gloomy.

The Corpse God Sect's layout in Golden Light City had been completely uprooted.

So many chess pieces, all wiped out.

It was as if a skilled chess player had made a decisive move, presenting a checkmate, and devoured them all.

Painful.

Yuan Jinhua's eyes twisted, the Corpse God Sect's many years of planning had fallen apart in an instant.

How could he accept this?

"Netherworld..."

"Niu Mo, Horse Face, and Divine Monkey!"

"The Corpse God Sect has no grudge against you..."

"I, Yuan Jinhua, will never forget this grudge!"

"My Corpse God Sect has millions of followers, how many can you Netherworld kill?"

Under the mask, intense killing intent surged.

And behind him, one black vortex after another emerged.

...

...

The rain started again.

Li Che, wearing a bamboo hat, walked down the long street and glanced at the sky, knowing that it was due to the Temple Deity's restlessness.

Otherwise, at this time, the sky should still be filled with snowflakes.

After leaving Jin Guang Peak, Li Che went straight to the city.

He first went to the Heavenly Divination Bureau.

There, he saw Tang Ren with a twisted expression, wearing a red belly wrap, his hair tied up, and looking at Lu Yao with resistance.

Lu Yao wanted to bind Tang Ren with red ribbons.

Tang Ren thought these red ribbons were toys for girls and refused to be wrapped in them.

"You know nothing! This is the image of the Eight-Armed Infernal Lotus Wrathful Third Prince that I learned after researching many materials!"

"Holding a spear, stepping on a golden wheel, wearing a red belly wrap, and wrapping oneself in red ribbons, that's the Third Prince!"

"If you want to increase the resonance with the Temple Deity Resonance, you have to dress like this!"

Lu Yao didn't give Tang Ren a chance to argue and draped the red ribbons over him.

These red ribbons were a divine armament, specially crafted by a weapon master at Lu Yao's request. Although the quality was average, if divine essence was infused, they could be manipulated.

Seeing this, Li Che's heart stirred slightly.

It seemed he should also prepare one for Xi Xi. Having just the Flame-tip Spear might not be enough.

"Master Lu, may I ask if there's another set of these red ribbons?"

"I want to get one for my daughter to increase her resonance."

Li Che asked politely.

Upon seeing Li Che, Tang Ren felt like he had found a savior. He immediately tore off the red ribbons from his body and handed them to Li Che like a treasure.

"Uncle Li Che, you don't need to ask my master. I'll give this red ribbon to you for Xi Xi!"

Tang Ren was very excited.

Lu Yao was so angry his face turned black.

He felt a bit tired.

He brought Tang Ren here to try his luck, but he didn't expect Tang Ren to create any miracles.

"Do as you wish. As your teacher, I've done what I can. Whether you can seize a bit of opportunity in this Temple Deity Resonance Conference is up to you."

Lu Yao waved his hand.

Li Che didn't hesitate and directly took the red ribbons from Tang Ren.

Lu Yao felt that Li Che's daughter had a higher chance of standing out in the Temple Deity Resonance Conference.

Li Che smiled and bid farewell to the two.

He entered the workshop and continued crafting the pink Immortal Craft Fire God Cannon for Xi Xi. After work, he returned to the alley in Falling Flower Lane to continue his busy life.

At night, Li Che would bring the soundly sleeping Xi Xi to the Fiery Eye Mysterious Ape Strange Temple, giving her special training.

He thoroughly beat the Flame-tip Spear's Purple Flame Serpent.

This prompted the Purple Flame Serpent Flame-tip Spear to unleash its power, accelerating Xi Xi's fusion with the weapon and her body.

Li Che even looked forward to it.

Could Xi Xi's martial body, through the fusion with the Purple Flame Serpent Flame-tip Spear, transform into a Saint-level body, even surpassing the Grandmaster-level martial body?

But the difficulty was definitely not small.

For three consecutive days.

Every morning, Xi Xi woke up feeling her arms sore and swollen, and she could faintly hear the little gun's whimpering.

Xi Xi would gently pat her chubby arms, comforting the little gun, "Xi Xi will grow up quickly and become strong, then we can play together."

Xi Xi spoke earnestly, and the Purple Flame Serpent Flame-tip Spear seemed comforted, even softening its attitude towards Xi Xi.

It was head over heels for this little master.

Stick and honey...

It was so unstoppable.

...

...

Fiery Eye Mysterious Ape Strange Temple!

Boom!

Scorching vital energy surged, creating hot currents that stirred up a whirlwind, tearing through the air without pause!

Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, taking a step forward, and in an instant, his figure seemed to blur.

It was as if the void was distorted under his step, and the air was almost crushed, leaving a deep, sunken hole!

An explosion sounded.

The air, torn by the explosion, rippled in circles.

Li Che landed in the air, taking continuous steps!

Countless phantom bodies slowly converged, finally landing on the ground.

Li Che's chest cavity suddenly swelled, and with a deep breath, a powerful gust of air swept through the temple, causing the candlelight to flicker.

Sage Warrior Ultimate Art, Floating Void Eight Steps... I've mastered the basics!

Li Che twisted his spine, his muscles rippling like thunder!

"This Sage Warrior Ultimate Art is not ordinary; it's not just a body technique, but also contains the power of killing and slaying."

"Eight Steps, one step, one kill. Shaking the Heavens!"

Li Che's toes tapped the air, causing it to explode with a whimper, and the air surged in waves.

With a light leap, Li Che felt his entire body become agile.

Whether it was moving speed, dodging, or jumping, everything was much more flexible than before.

Compared to Yun Yao's Cloud Stride, this was indeed much more powerful.

After stretching for a while, Li Che appeared in front of the Spirit Ape Temple God with a quick shift.

A daily touch.

The Spirit Ape Temple God's expression was already one of utter despair.

Amidst the laughter, Li Che clutched the Flying Thunder Chess Piece and returned to the courtyard on Right Thunder Peak's hillside.

The rain poured down, and the sky was filled with flashes of lightning.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today was the day of the Temple Deity Resonance Assembly, as announced by the Temple Guardian Office.

After returning, Li Che went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Then he went to wake up Xi Xi and his wife.

Xi Xi was disturbed from her sleep and was quite upset, pouting and sitting on the bed with her arms crossed.

Zhang Ya, on the other hand, smiled gently and braided Xi Xi's hair, then dressed her in a red belly guard.

"Breakfast is ready!" Li Che called out.

Xi Xi's morning grumpiness dissipated as she ran to the table and started eating, her unhappiness fading away.

Indeed, only delicious food could cure a bad mood.

"Husband, do I need to dress up more?" Zhang Ya asked, not really in the mood for breakfast.

Today was a significant event for the entire Golden Light City.

Now, she was no longer an ordinary person unaware of cultivation. She understood the importance of the Temple Guardian Office and the Heavenly Divination Bureau, and she knew the purpose of the young prince, the son of the king who had been beaten by her daughter.

It was all for this day!

The Four Divine Mysterious Temples' Temple Deity Resonance Assembly!

Zhang Ya was worried, as it involved sending her child to the terrifying and dangerous Four Divine Mysterious Temples. Even Grandmasters had to be cautious in such temples.

Wouldn't it be more dangerous for a child? As a mother, Zhang Ya's concern was understandable.

Li Che smiled as he watched Xi Xi happily eating noodles with a fried egg, her cute appearance bringing him joy.

"It's still missing something."

Li Che's mind recalled some details from his past life.

He clenched his fist, and a piece of spirit wood appeared in his hand, which he quickly carved with a knife, as thin as a cicada's wing.

In a moment, a small waist belt made of interconnected lotus petals took shape.

Li Che tied the lotus petal belt around Xi Xi's waist.

Xi Xi was delighted to see the blooming little flowers on her waist, her happiness evident.

She spun around, showing off the belt.

"Daddy, Xi Xi has flowers!"

"This is the little flower Daddy carved for Xi Xi. Be happy!"

The little girl's cuteness was so sudden and simple.

After breakfast, Li Che held an oil-paper umbrella and carried Xi Xi as they headed towards Jin Guang Peak.

As they left the courtyard, Li Qing Shan, accompanied by Lu Chi and Mu Po Po, was already waiting outside.

Zhang Ya didn't stay at home either; she linked arms with Mu Po Po and planned to watch the Temple Deity Resonance Assembly.

Since it involved her daughter, she was both concerned and interested.

Old Chen also took the day off to join them and witness the Temple Deity Assembly.

...

...

The group descended the mountain.

At the mountain gate, a carriage was already waiting.

Shangguan Qinghong drove a luxurious carriage and waved from afar when she saw Li Che's family descending the mountain.

Xi Xi was delighted to see Shangguan Qinghong and jumped into the carriage, giggling and stomping her feet.

Shangguan Qinghong treated Xi Xi like a little sister and was nervous about her participation in the Temple Deity Resonance Assembly. She shared all her knowledge and advice with Xi Xi regarding the temple.

She wanted to help her little sister as much as she could.

Li Qing Shan, Mu Po Po, and Lu Chi boarded another carriage.

Before entering the carriage, Lu Chi's deep gaze fell upon Xi Xi's carriage.

"Come on," Li Qing Shan said.

Lu Chi nodded and entered the carriage.

At the foot of Jin Guang Peak, various carriages and horses gathered, including those from the Qin, Hai, Gong, and Gongyang families. These families had arranged carriages to transport their young cultivators, who were training within the Jin Guang Branch.

Additionally, the Jin Guang Branch had prepared special carriages to transport the young cultivators together.

The children gathered, their heads close together, chattering non-stop like a bunch of radishes.

The rain from the sky couldn't dampen their enthusiasm.

The children's laughter filled the air, making it seem more like a picnic than a Temple Deity Resonance Assembly.

Elder Jiao Shaqiu also spotted Li Che's family and nodded from a distance, considering it a greeting.

He rode alone in a carriage, his palm suppressing the Hell Lotus Flame Wind Golden Wheel.

Wearing a bamboo hat and a short robe, his imposing figure held the reins, his expression calm.

Li Che glanced at the carriage driver, sensing his extraordinary nature and the terrifying power within him.

(End of Chapter)And, Li Che didn't sense any divine power in the carriage driver, meaning... he was a pure martial cultivator!

As for his cultivation level, Li Che couldn't see through it.

After all the children were seated in the carriages.

The journey began.

Dozens of carriages lined up, forming a grand procession as they set off from the foot of the Divine Sect mountain.

The carriage wheels crushed mud, splashing water as they left the Golden Light City and continued on their way.

The Divine Guard Army emerged, separating the commoners to ensure a smooth journey for the procession.

At the Temple Guardian Office.

Zhu Chaoyang, along with Iron Treasure, also boarded a carriage and followed the procession.

At the Heavenly Divination Bureau.

Lu Yao, with Tang Ren, followed in a carriage.

One by one, carriages gathered from the sides of the street, merging like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, joining the procession.

At the City Lord Manor.

The young prince, Ji Hai Hui, dressed in luxurious attire, his purple eyes shimmering like a mirror.

This was his first time leaving the City Lord Manor in many days.

Xue Dudu's death truly terrified him.

Ji Hai Hui didn't want to die, so he stayed within the City Lord Manor, ensuring his safety and awaiting the Temple Deity Resonance Conference.

Taking a deep breath, the rain poured heavily, and the world was drenched.

Yet, Ji Hai Hui felt his blood trembling slightly, as if it were about to revive.

"Finally, the Temple Deity Resonance Conference is about to begin... After the conference ends, I can finally leave this cursed Golden Light City."

Ji Hai Hui spoke.

He disliked Golden Light City.

Here, he had suffered the greatest humiliation since his birth.

He lacked the courage to face this humiliation, choosing to hide like a turtle.

Therefore, he wanted to wash away this shame, and the only way was to leave Golden Light City, find stronger allies, and return to avenge himself!

The young prince, Ji Hai Hui, with his shimmering purple eyes, recalled Xi Xi's devilish face, and his body trembled. He then entered the extremely luxurious carriage.

Su Hui'er had been waiting in the carriage early on. Seeing Ji Hai Hui, she smiled gently, "Young Prince, relax. The Prince has already prepared a trump card for you..."

"This Temple Deity Resonance, you won't lose to that girl."

Su Hui'er comforted.

A Grandmaster carriage driver led the carriage.

Six black-armored Blood Guards rode on Dragon Horses, carrying horse-slaying sabers and wearing heavy black armor, their presence was awe-inspiring.

The sound of horse hooves thundered as they escorted the carriage, fierce like a sharp black blade cutting through the procession.

The Governor, Xie Jing, wore his official uniform and rode on a Dragon Horse, with the Director and Chief Clerks also riding Dragon Horses, carrying sabers at the forefront of the carriage procession.

The procession left the Golden Light City, and the rain and wind intensified!

However, the procession's speed didn't slow down; instead, it accelerated!

The blood within the Dragon Horses seemed to boil, and the pace of their hooves quickened!

Splash!

The rain was smashed into a powder!

The carriage shook violently.

As the carriage left the city.

The numerous children in the carriage fell silent.

Perhaps they finally felt the oppressive and tense atmosphere, and some of the young disciples' small bodies trembled slightly.

Inside the carriage.

Even Xi Xi, who rarely spoke, became silent.

She huddled in Zhang Ya's embrace, allowing Zhang Ya to gently caress her.

Her small hands clenched into fists.

Even the fearless Xi Xi seemed a bit nervous now.

"Mother, Father... Xi Xi is nervous!"

Xi Xi blinked her big eyes and spoke.

Li Che rubbed Xi Xi's head and took out a white Flying Thunder chess piece, placing it in Xi Xi's hand.

"Hold this chess piece, and it's as if Father is by your side."

"With Father here, you don't need to be nervous."

Li Che said with a smile.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just treat it... like a leisurely outing, even if you don't trigger the Temple Deity Resonance or obtain the Temple Deity inheritance, it's fine."

"With Father here, no one will harm you."

"Because Father is super powerful..."

Li Che's voice was gentle.

Xi Xi blinked her eyes, "Really?"

Li Che extended his little finger, and Xi Xi hooked her finger with his.

Xi Xi giggled and truly felt at ease.

She raised her chubby arm and said, "Father, but... my little gun is still trembling, and I feel nervous, making Xi Xi a bit nervous too."

Hearing this, Li Che gently held Xi Xi's arm.

Then, between his eyebrows, the Divine Light flashed in his Pineal Gland!

His Divine Consciousness transformed into a palm in Xi Xi's arm and fiercely fanned out, striking the bared fangs of the Purple Flame Dragon Snake.

A mosquito-like sound echoed within the carriage.

Zhang Ya and Shangguan Qinghong were startled.

But Li Che simply rubbed Xi Xi's head.

"Look, your little gun isn't nervous anymore, is it?"

Xi Xi shook her arm and burst into laughter.

She leaned against the carriage window.

Looking at the pouring rain and the raging waves of the Nine Dragon River, rising over a hundred meters high, she felt no fear.

Facing the Temple Deity?

Xi Xi wasn't afraid of anything!

Because.

Father would protect Xi Xi!
