The Hunter King assassin...
It's you?!
Li Che's movements froze, and his expression became extremely interesting. He didn't know what to say.
Lu Tai Bai's voice transmission reached Li Che's ears. Only Li Che could hear his voice transmission, and he learned of Lu Tai Bai's part-time identity.
No wonder the Sect Master was so confident in saying that the Hunter King assassin wouldn't harm Xixi.
Li Che couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
Li Che didn't know much about the Hunter Sect, only that it had many assassins and was a force that highly valued benefits.
As long as the price was right and the benefits were enticing enough to move the assassins, even Starry assassins comparable to Martial Saint Embryos could be persuaded.
For example, Huang Jianjiu had spent all his wealth to invite a Starry assassin, who blocked Su Dao Ling, the Symbol Sage of Su Clan.
The assassin accepted the resources and sincerely exerted all their efforts, successfully blocking Su Dao Ling.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Huang Jianjiu to unleash his killing intent when a Divine Embryo Cultivator returned. Even if he had broken through the Martial Saint's sword, it would have been challenging to kill Su Wenxi.
Lu Tai Bai looked at Li Che with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, poured himself a cup of wine, and took a sip.
"The Hunter Sect is quite complex. It has both its own trained assassins and invited ones. After all, people will always seek resources, and the higher one's cultivation, the harder it is to find what they need. Even if they find it, the price is often too high."
"The Hunter Sect is a convenient place for employers to find assassins. Completing tasks will earn you the resources you need."
Lu Tai Bai explained.
"Normally, there shouldn't be more than two Hunter King assassins in a Dao City. Inviting powerful cultivators to become Hunter King assassins also requires resources. Even if a Hunter King assassin does nothing, they can still obtain resources effortlessly."
Lu Tai Bai transmitted his voice to Li Che in explanation.
Perhaps to reassure Li Che, he elaborated on the Hunter King assassins.
"So, unless a Hunter King assassin from another Dao City enters the Primordial Dao City, there won't be a situation where a Hunter King assassin targets Xixi."
"Moreover, the third place on the Reward Board... isn't that impressive."
Lu Tai Bai chuckled as he transmitted his voice.
"What? You mean a Four Virtues Divine Essence Crystal isn't impressive?" Li Che gasped.
"If it were a top-grade Four Virtues Divine Essence Crystal, it might tempt a Hunter King assassin. A lower-grade one falls short."
Lu Tai Bai's voice transmission was calm.
Li Che fell silent, realizing that...
It was indeed strength that determined one's perspective.
"The assassins in the Hunter Sect don't have much connection with each other. They are all quite indifferent. My Hunter King assassin won't take action, but that doesn't mean other Starry assassins won't."
"Although I'm a Hunter King assassin, I'm not the leader of the Hunter Sect. In fact, even the leader of the Hunter Sect can't control these assassins..."
"The overall strength of the Hunter Sect is indeed formidable, but it's not something to be feared."
"The leader of the Hunter Sect in the Primordial Dao City is indeed very powerful, and their identity is mysterious. Until now, I haven't figured out who they really are..."
Lu Tai Bai sipped the wine in his cup and clicked his tongue, continuing his voice transmission.
"What if a Hunter Sect assassin takes action and I accidentally kill them? Will it affect you, Senior?" Li Che hurriedly poured himself a drink.
Lu Tai Bai said, "Kill, just kill. Go ahead and kill..."
"Assassins don't know each other's true identities. They are all strangers."
"The Starry assassins' star masks are made by the leader of the Hunter Sect. They can change and conceal their auras, making it impossible even for me to see through them..."
"So, there's no trust among assassins. They might even stab each other in the back the next time they meet."
"If you can kill, then kill."
"Becoming an assassin means being prepared for death."
Lu Tai Bai said indifferently, "Perhaps one day, I'll die during an assassination."
"The Hunter King..."
"What do you think the Hunter King is?"
His indifferent words carried a hint of life's coldness.
Li Che's body trembled.
The Hunter King... Could it be that their true specialty is assassinating the Great Jing's princes? The leader or grand leader of the Hunter Sect...
Professional rebels?! Li Che's eyes flashed, and his heart stirred slightly, feeling that... this was interesting.
"What? Are you interested? Do you want me to introduce you to the Hunter Sect so you can play as an assassin and earn some extra money on the side?" Lu Tai Bai looked at Li Che and transmitted his voice.
For a Hunter King assassin, introducing an assassin was a simple task.
"Never mind, never mind. I'm just a small Qi and Blood Master. My Divine Essence has barely entered the Divine Form, and I don't have much experience in fighting others... I'm afraid of being counter-killed."
Li Che smiled and declined.
Lu Tai Bai looked at Li Che with a smile that wasn't quite a smile...
An innocent Divine Carving Master? Who would believe that? Lu Tai Bai didn't believe it. He suspected that Li Che must have some connection to the Underworld, given the ruthless killing intent of the Underworld's various villains. How could Li Che be an innocent person?
"Don't worry. Xixi is safe with me. Even if a Hunter King assassin from another Dao City comes, I can stop them."
Lu Tai Bai smiled confidently.
With Lu Tai Bai and the Symbol Sage, Xuan Qi Sha, the Sect Lady, protecting Xixi, Li Che indeed felt more at ease.
"Then, Xixi will trouble the Sect Master." Li Che said, not using a voice transmission this time.
Lu Tai Bai was in a good mood, eating and drinking.
After the meal, Li Che and Zhang Ya chatted and played with Xixi for a while before bidding farewell.
"Daddy and Mommy, don't worry. Xixi will become strong and protect you in the future!"
Xixi, holding an oil-paper umbrella, turned to look at Li Che and Zhang Ya, who were leaving the mountain path.
With his hands on his hips and his small belly protruding, he shouted loudly.
The spring rain poured down, and the surroundings were filled with vibrant colors.
Li Che and Zhang Ya turned around, looking at Xixi with warm smiles, and waved goodbye.
Jin Taisui stood beside Xixi, holding an oil-paper umbrella for her, feeling a bit dazed.
Ever since he was young, he had been abandoned by his parents on Wu Shen Mountain and then sent to the Strange Temple for training...
He had never known what family affection was.
Following behind Xixi, he seemed to see many things he had never experienced before.
Parents like Zhang Ya and Li Che, Xixi was so happy.
Jin Taisui felt envious in his heart.
Xixi stood on her tiptoes, watching as her parents' figures disappeared into the misty rain along the mountain path. She exhaled a long breath and patted her chest, which she had puffed out.
"Go, Xixi the Great!"
"Little Jinzi, let's go! Let's keep practicing! Today, we'll work hard!"
Xixi turned around and took small steps.
Hearing this, Jin Taisui was stunned. "Hmm, ah... Okay."
Xixi returned to the large courtyard and, under Lu Tai Bai's guidance, continued to grip the Lotus of Hell Yang God Sword and began practicing the sword techniques passed down by Lu Tai Bai.
Xixi the Great was working hard!
...
...
Li Che and Zhang Ya strolled along the mountain path in the rain, enjoying the scenery within the mountain gate of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Occasionally, they could see the Strange Temple nestled among the trees, with a few scattered disciples of the Divine Sect preparing to venture into the Wui Que.
"Elder Li."
The disciples greeted Li Che from a distance with respect and enthusiasm.
After all, Li Che was an elder of Divine Eagle Ridge, and this elder was even more popular than the inner sect elders. After all, the disciples needed the assistance of the divine essence of the divine sculptures to cultivate their divinity.
Li Che nodded gently and responded before continuing his walk with Zhang Ya.
Occasionally, he would accompany his wife for a stroll in the rain, breathing in the fresh air, and feeling the beauty of nature. It was quite interesting.
Along the way, Zhang Ya held Li Che's arm tightly, her cheek pressed against his arm, and from time to time, she would raise her head to look at her husband, her eyes sparkling.
"Husband, let's always be like this, until we grow old. Even when we're old, we can still stroll through the mountains of the Divine Sect, watching the rain fall, flowers bloom, and the misty clouds!"
"Okay."
Li Che smiled.
"Then you have to promise me, let's pinky swear!" Zhang Ya's big eyes sparkled as she tucked a strand of her hair, damp with moisture, behind her ear, and said seriously.
"Why are you acting like Xixi, making pinky promises like a child..." Li Che chuckled but did not refuse.
He extended his hand and hooked his little finger with Zhang Ya's fair one.
The mountains were filled with blooming flowers, and the spring rain seemed to be filled with joy.
The couple gently shook their hooked fingers.
"Pinky swear, hang yourself, a hundred years... no, ten thousand years, no changing!"
Li Che's voice was gentle.
Zhang Ya immediately pursed her lips and let out a low laugh.
"Husband, you're so silly. Who can live for ten thousand years..."
Li Che extended his hand, and his slender fingers caught a raindrop.
His gaze deepened, and his thoughts wandered.
"Who says you can't live for ten thousand years?"
...
...
Back in the elders' courtyard of the disciples' city.
Zhang Ya immediately ran to Jiao Shao Qiu's courtyard. She wanted to work hard on her cultivation too.
After all, Zhang Ya was well aware of Xixi's and Li Che's natural talent. If she couldn't keep up with their progress, she would gradually grow old.
If she didn't work hard, her husband would only be able to walk with other women in the mountains, watching the misty rain and bustling scenery.
Just thinking about it made Zhang Ya's fighting spirit soar, and her eyes were almost on fire! She, Zhang Ya, had to work hard!
"Elder Jiao!"
Zhang Ya stood straight like a pole bent at a ninety-degree angle, looking at Jiao Shao Qiu, who was sitting under the eaves and instructing his children in cultivation.
After a moment, Jiao Shao Qiu stroked his beard and smiled, understanding Zhang Ya's thoughts.
"Okay, from now on, you can practice with the children."
Although Zhang Ya was an honorary elder of the outer sect, it was just a title and a way to enjoy benefits. She only received this treatment because of her daughter's excellence.
In reality, Zhang Ya's cultivation was not that impressive.
Jiao Shao Qiu's guidance was more than enough for Zhang Ya.
"Then... thank you, Elder Jiao." Li Che bowed respectfully, his ink-colored robe fluttering in the wind, and smiled gently.
Jiao Shao Qiu stroked his beard and smiled, "This is nothing... I can't teach Xixi anymore, but I can teach her mother instead."
"Hahaha, what a pity. You, young man, can already eat your fill just by relying on your divine sculpture skills. I can't teach you anything."
Jiao Shao Qiu and Li Che chatted for a while in the courtyard.
"I heard that tomorrow is the deadline for your bet with the sect lady. Are you confident?" Jiao Shao Qiu asked as he watched Li Che pouring tea from a charcoal stove.
"It's worth a try. It won't be a loss."
"The bet between me and the sect lady isn't too harsh."
"The sect lady is also Xixi's teacher. Even if I lose the bet, I'll just carve some divine essence wooden sculptures for her, which will be good practice. It's not a loss."
"But if I win the bet, the meaning will be different."
Li Che's lips curved into a gentle smile, making others feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
Jiao Shao Qiu naturally understood the meaning behind Li Che's words. The Heavenly Origin Divine Sect had been lacking a demi-god divine carver for too long, and the divine sculpture business had been completely suppressed by the Little Lingyin Temple of Xiling Dao.
If there was one more demi-god divine carver, it would be a great relief.
Looking at the elegant and gentle Li Che, Jiao Shao Qiu felt a sense of admiration. No wonder he had fathered a child with such extraordinary talent as Xixi. The more he looked at Li Che, the more extraordinary he seemed.
After watching Zhang Ya practice diligently for a while, Li Che bid farewell and left.
Leaving Nie Yang behind, Li Che walked away alone with his umbrella.
Returning to the Elders' Court, Li Qingshan accompanied Mu Po Po, admiring the moist and vibrant spring rain under the eaves.
After greeting the two, Li Che entered the study.
With a clenched fist.
Li Che's entire body shifted, reappearing in the independent workshop of Thunder Listening Lane.
The spring rain drifted, with droplets forming chains.
From high in the sky, they fell like arrows, and before they could land in the courtyard, they were instantly evaporated by scorching vital energy, turning into rolling white mist!
The moist courtyard was filled with swirling white mist.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
With each breath, it was as if a giant whale was swallowing and spitting, like the inhalation and exhalation of a divine being.
The white mist in the courtyard stirred, undulating and surging like crashing waves.
Powerful divine essence slowly surged forth, almost filling every corner of the courtyard.
"Fifteen Golden Pills..."
"Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Law of Heaven and Earth, Exorcist Pure Yang!"
Li Che's eyes opened and closed, and his gaze was filled with brilliance.
The Law of Heaven and Earth, Divine Luminescent True Ape Technique, was the most vast among the Three Purities School, with the most powerful vital energy and rank.
Next was the Four Virtues School, with the Golden Pills condensed by the Six Desires Exorcist Sword Immortal Pure Yang Technique.
The Four Virtues Golden Pills were weaker than the Three Purities Golden Pills overall.
The Seven Emotions Golden Pills surrounded the Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Six Desires Golden Pills encircled the Exorcist Pure Yang Golden Pill like six divine blades!
Extremely extraordinary and profound.
Following a unique artistic conception, it was like a small universe in hiding.
"My Golden Pill... is very different from ordinary divine essence cultivators. Even if I compare it to a Golden Pill transformed by embryonic breathing, it's still far inferior."
"In fact, I can already be considered a Divine Embryo."
"Although my Primordial Spirit has not transformed into the Heavenly-Earth Soul of a Divine Embryo cultivator, I cannot borrow the power of heaven and earth for myself, and my Golden Pill has not yet opened. Although my Divine Embryo is slightly inferior in quality..."
"But I have more Golden Pills. If quality is lacking, I can make up for it with quantity. With the combined quantity of the Three Purities and Four Virtues Golden Pills, and the overlapping Seven Emotions and Six Desires Golden Pills, there are no flaws or leaks."
"Even though I don't have the Heavenly-Earth Soul, and my rank is not as oppressive as a Divine Embryo, but... with fifteen Golden Pills simultaneously, I can withstand the oppression. Plus, with the support and enhancement of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!"
An unconventional Divine Embryo...
Li Che felt that he barely qualified.
"As for divine essence secret techniques..."
Li Che's gaze flickered. The most powerful method of a Divine Embryo cultivator was naturally divine essence secret techniques, and when combined with secret techniques and abundant divine essence power, they could achieve powerful bombardments.
Li Che understood this well. Essentially, divine essence cultivators were law masters and martial artists... mere martial artists.
