Chapter 208: The Arrival and the Netherworld's Arrival (Part 2)
Instead, she was preparing to participate in the final disciple assessment of the sect leader.
Now, someone had suddenly appeared, directly declaring Xixi as their junior, which felt like a forced recruitment.
Li Cheng's gaze rested on Wei He.
A
Through the Celestial Chessboard, Wei He showed no signs of malice or murderous intent.
But Li Cheng could also see that his vital aura strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Divine Aura Grandmaster, making them not even in the same league.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Wei He's expression remained unchanged.
"Elder Jiao... My teacher, Elder Ji, is the Fourth Elder of the orthodox sect. Upon hearing that a divine child with an extremely high resonance with the temple deity has emerged in Jin Guang City, and has even obtained seven-tenths of the temple deity's divinity, he is eager to recruit this talented individual as his disciple."
"Does Elder Jiao not want to help fulfill this wish?"
Wei He spoke gently.
"Do you think I don't know what Ji He Shan is up to? Xixi came to Dao City to seek the sect leader's personal transmission. She won't take on a master before the sect leader's personal transmission assessment is complete."
Elder Jiao replied coldly.
Wei He clasped his fists, "Elder Jiao... The sect leader's personal transmission is highly competitive. Disciples from all the major sects in the five states and thirty-six prefectures, including the imperial family, are vying for it. Even the three thousand-year-old families of Lingnan Dao City and many other large and small families are competing... There are even princes..."
"Do you think this divine child from Jin Guang City can compete with those divine children who have at least a thousand feet of purple smoke divinity?"
Elder Jiao waved his sleeves, his face cold and lonely, "How can we know there won't be a miracle without trying?"
"Xixi also made a remarkable impression in Jin Guang City, suppressing many divine children in her temple deity resonance. She even surpassed the son of the Pacifier King, Ji Haihui, and the son of a princess from the imperial capital, Tie Shancai..."
"What makes you think Xixi has no chance or hope?"
Elder Jiao's expression was far from pleasant. How could he tolerate these people trying to snatch Xixi, the divine child he had brought back?
He was responsible for Xixi's future.
"Moreover, do you not know what kind of person Ji He Shan is? He has at least eight hundred disciples under his command, and he is known for his eagerness to recruit disciples, casting a wide net... Handing Xixi over to him would be a disservice to her!"
Elder Jiao had a foul temper, perhaps due to his extensive experience.
His outburst made Wei He's face turn slightly awkward, as he himself was a product of this wide net.
"Elder Jiao, please calm down. This matter... We should still ask the divine child's parents."
Wei He suggested.
Their argument had already attracted the attention of many in the carriages.
Li Cheng jumped down from the carriage, his ink-colored robe fluttering in the wind, a gentle smile on his face, and approached them.
"This is Xixi's father, Li Cheng."
"You can ask him," Elder Jiao didn't reject Wei He's suggestion.
However, before Wei He could speak, Li Cheng shook his head, "Elder Jiao says that my daughter Xixi is very talented, and I agree.
"If that's the case, then I'll follow Elder Jiao's instructions. Thank you, Elder Xie, for your kindness. Xixi still wants to give it her best."
Li Cheng spoke gently.
Wei He's gaze lowered, looking at the honest and simple youth before him, his brows furrowed, "Have you thought this through... If you fail the assessment for the Sect Master's personal discipleship and perform poorly, you might even lose the chance to become an Inner Elder's disciple."
"Let Xixi give it her all. What if... what if she succeeds?" Li Cheng said.
Wei He shook his head silently.
It was heard that the divine child's family had come from a small city under the jurisdiction of Golden Light City.
This straightforward and simple... desire to rise to the top in one go.
"Forget it, if that's the case, I won't force it. I'm just conveying my teacher's intentions. Moreover, my teacher has never mistreated his disciples, and he will provide all the necessary resources..."
"Furthermore, if one performs exceptionally, even more resources will be given!"
Wei He said indifferently.
After seeing that Li Cheng showed no reaction and was no longer hesitant, he continued, "Next, I'll escort you into Dao City."
With a Supreme Grandmaster escorting them into the city, the remaining journey was naturally much safer.
Moreover, upon reaching the Dao City area, the danger would greatly decrease.
Even in Dao City, Supreme Grandmasters were quite rare, and Wei He was a true disciple of the Divine Sect Orthodox Sect, one of the top true disciples.
Because Elder Jiao Shaqiu had sent a letter in advance, he had come specifically to escort and welcome them.
Only after the Supreme Grandmaster's appearance did Li Cheng's heart finally relax, it seemed...
Ji Haihui's Dragon Girl mother was truly giving up on Ji Haihui.
...
...
The harsh winter had passed, and the spring breeze blew gently.
It was as if everything had been revived overnight.
The frozen river surface began to thaw, and patches of green adorned the plains, fields, and cities.
With Supreme Grandmaster Wei He's escort, the journey was smooth and safe, without any danger.
After about three more days, they finally arrived at Dao City.
"Qianyuan City is here."
On the thawing river surface, the cold and piercing winter wind blew, and the spring breeze was chilly, but it couldn't dampen the children's excitement.
In the carriage, Xixi and several other children, big and small, poked their heads out.
Looking into the distance, they could see a majestic city standing between heaven and earth, grand and imposing, like a gigantic lion crouching.
Its aura was mighty and its presence heavy, ancient and filled with the essence of time.
The city walls were tall, stretching east and west for an unknown distance, countless in length, with no end in sight.
The official road became crowded with numerous carriages from various state and prefecture cities around Dao City, galloping on the wide avenue.
On the thawing river surface, there were also many Yellow Dragon ships surging through the waves.
Xixi was amazed, her big eyes blinking, her long eyelashes fluttering, her heart seemed to be stirred by the grandeur of the city.
"Such a big city, it would probably take dozens of fireworks to blow it up," Xixi muttered.
Tie Shancai, sitting next to her, was speechless.
Why was this little girl so hot-tempered? Even more fiery than him, always wanting to use fireworks to destroy the city.
She was truly explosive and fiery...
He really liked it.
Many people leaned out of their carriages to gaze at the majestic and imposing city.
Xixi's great-uncle's family was extremely excited, feeling overwhelmed by the grandeur. In their eyes, Golden Light City was already an extremely majestic and imposing city.
But compared to Dao City's Qianyuan City, it seemed a bit small.
The main reason was that outside Qianyuan City, numerous towns were dotted around, with well-connected official roads crisscrossing, surrounding this majestic city!
The carriage slowly moved forward.
However, Li Cheng didn't gaze curiously like the others.
He sat quietly in the carriage, holding a spiritual wood in one hand and a dagger in the other, gently shaving off the wood's surface.
"Dao City... we've finally arrived."
Li Cheng exhaled.
He slowly raised his head, and in his eyes, there was a faint intertwining of solemn killing intent.
In his chest, the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit suddenly thumped vigorously.
Thump, thump, thump—
It was as if all the sounds in the world had become silent in his ears.
The sound of the wind, the rain, the turning of the carriage wheels...
All fell silent.
The Heavenly Chessboard expanded, suddenly attempting to envelop the majestic and grand city!
...
...
Qianyuan Dao City.
On the balcony of a luxurious tavern, a gentle breeze blew.
Su Huali had been cultivating for nearly two months, and his pale complexion had returned to normal. He had emerged from a state of near-death.
Beside him was a tall figure wearing dark armor, sitting there with a strong sense of oppression.
This person was Long Tai, his senior martial brother, a strong cultivator sent to ensure his safety. Long Tai was a Supreme Grandmaster, a peerless cultivator with innate divine strength.
Long Tai shoveled large amounts of food into his mouth, creating a stark contrast with Su Huali's relaxed wine-drinking posture.
Suddenly,
Su Huali's heart skipped a beat, and he pursed his lips.
"They're here."
"They... have arrived."
Long Tai paused, and with a slurping sound, he swallowed all the food in his mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing it all.
"Who's here?"
Long Tai's voice was coarse and rough, shaking the entire tavern as if it were trembling.
Su Huali let out a breath.
"The Underworld's Evils."
Long Tai's round eyes widened.
"What the hell is that?"
"The Underworld? I've never even heard of it..."
Long Tai patted his belly under his armor and laughed, "Don't worry, the General has me protecting you. Your safety is guaranteed by me, Long Tai."
"As for the Underworld... It's just a small force. Dao City is not comparable to Jin Guang City, it's not a place where any random cat or dog can run amok."
Su Huali glanced helplessly at Long Tai.
Looking at that tall and robust figure...
It seemed... even larger than the Sacred Bull's.
...
...
In the vast estate of the Qianyuan Dao City, a disheveled child with a black circle around his neck and a black lotus pattern between his eyebrows lay on a recliner. Around him, several young girls with fair and delicate complexions were bustling about.
They were massaging the child's legs, patting his shoulders, rubbing his temples, picking his ears, feeding him crystal grapes, and more...
The child squinted, and one of his small hands was still holding the hand of a delicate girl with fair skin, caressing her.
At such a young age, he was already a little flirt.
Suddenly, the black lotus pattern between the disheveled child's eyebrows began to glow faintly.
His eyes opened and closed, and a powerful desire surged forth, causing the surrounding girls' faces to turn crimson.
"Come here."
The child slowly stood up from the recliner.
He pointed at a tall girl with a very youthful appearance.
The girl walked over, turned around, and crawled onto the ground.
The child leaped onto the girl's back, and she slowly crawled forward, reaching the doorway.
The child narrowed his eyes, and his palm gripped the ponytail of the girl lying on the ground, pulling it with excitement.
"Here."
"Here, my lady."
...
...
Inside the carriage, Li Cheng raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, then suddenly tore it down.
His flesh and blood were exposed.
The Star Plucking Eye radiated with extreme brilliance!
As he linked his will with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, in an instant, the chessboard expanded, enveloping Dao City within.
Li Cheng was searching for someone.
Su Huali was hiding within Dao City, and the demonic child was also concealed inside.
These two were the ones Li Cheng had to kill without fail.
Especially that demonic child, who, despite his young age, had impure and malicious thoughts.
Boom—! As the Heaven and Earth Chessboard enveloped Dao City, Li Cheng's expression immediately became extremely solemn.
Beads of sweat rarely appeared on his forehead.
His primordial spirit trembled, reaching its peak.
As the Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded, within Dao City, it seemed as if there were terrifying beings, one after another, who vaguely sensed something and slowly opened their eyes.
They furrowed their brows, puzzled, as their powerful divine perception swept across the city. It was as if they had seen something, yet they hadn't seen anything.
This was because Li Cheng had blocked their perception.
However, these powerful beings were indeed too strong, and their senses were too keen. Even though Li Cheng had actively blocked their perception, they still sensed something amiss.
But they only felt that something was wrong, and they didn't interrupt their closed-door cultivation because of this.
After all, it might be a Divine Embryo Great Deity who was bored and inspecting the entire city.
Inside the carriage, Li Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, and sharp lightning continuously intertwined.
"I've found them."
His pupils seemed to reflect the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
He had found those two figures.
Su Huali...
And... the demonic child with the same aura as Qin Feng Huo, the Divine Child of the Corpse God Sect!
"I've found you."
A slight curve formed on Li Cheng's lips.
Through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he gazed at the majestic Qianyuan Dao City.
Li Cheng clenched his five fingers, and in an instant, he disappeared from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already soaring high in the Vital Aura Radiance.
His five fingers slowly slid down from the Sacred Bull Mask, and without a hat, his black hair fluttered in the raging wind.
With a thought, the Vital Aura Radiance carried the Sacred Bull's body and swiftly descended towards the human realm.
In the serene forest, birds suddenly took flight, and insects fell silent.
Boom—!!! Accompanied by a loud rumble, the ground slightly caved in, and a huge lotus platform appeared, with a thousand-armed Guanyin seated upon it.
The Guanyin extended her thousand arms, using them to stack and form a fire god cannon barrel. At the barrel's mouth, her fingers spread open, and her palms faced outwards.
Standing behind the thousand-armed Guanyin, Li Cheng, wearing the Sacred Bull Mask, had a robust and towering figure.
It was impossible to kill the demonic child of the Corpse God Sect with a single cannon blast.
There must be a powerful protector for the demonic child of the Corpse God Sect. Anyone daring to mingle in Dao City must have a strong cultivation.
But...
Whether or not the blast would kill them was one aspect.
Li Cheng just wanted to fire a cannon! This was a warning!
It was also to make the demonic child understand...
What the wrath of a father feels like!
With their minds connected, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard reduced its range.
It locked onto the demonic child's location within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, a place filled with deathly energy.
A grand entrance with fireworks! Bombarding Dao City!
