Chapter 290: Twenty-Five Years in This Life, Clarifying One's True Self, and the Cat-Faced Figure's Imminent Appearance (Part 2)
When Li Che appeared, Zhang Ya paused her movements.
"Husband!" Zhang Ya's eyes lit up, and at that moment, she resembled Xixi when she saw Li Che.
There was no doubt they were mother and daughter.
Sitting under the eaves, Jiao Shao Qiu's eyes flashed with a strange light upon seeing Li Che.
Li Che had become a Demi-God Divine Carving Master... He couldn't help but feel a bit dazed. After all, when they first met in Jin Guang Fu City, Li Che was merely a third-rank guest minister of the Heaven Inspector.
Moreover, when Li Che mentioned participating in the Elder's assessment at the Divine Eagle Ridge of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, Jiao Shao Qiu hadn't been overly optimistic. Yet, not only did Li Che become an elder, but he had now achieved the Demi-God Divine Carving Master realm!
"Elder Jiao," Li Che greeted Jiao Shao Qiu with a warm smile.
Jiao Shao Qiu's eyes brightened, and he nodded.
"I'm here to take my wife home," Li Che said with a smile. After Zhang Ya finished packing her belongings, the couple bid farewell to Elder Jiao and left his courtyard.
Walking through the Disciple City with an oil-paper umbrella, Li Che and his wife strolled romantically along the streets.
In the courtyard of Liuxiang Alley, Mu Po Po was taken away by Li Qingshan, while Lao Chen had gone out.
The courtyard was quiet, with only the couple remaining.
After Zhang Ya finished bathing, Li Che used his qi and blood to dry her hair. Then, he took out the simple three dishes and a soup he had purchased from the restaurant owner and placed them on the table.
Zhang Ya gazed at Li Che expectantly.
Li Che poured a cup of wine for his wife.
Zhang Ya smiled sweetly, picked up her cup, and clinked it against Li Che's.
"Congratulations, husband, on becoming a Demi-God Divine Carving Master!"
"Our little family is getting better and better because of you!"
"Happy birthday, husband!" Zhang Ya blinked and smiled.
Then, she took out a black-colored tight-fitting garment from the Qiankun Jade, embroidered with a black lotus pattern. It was a masterpiece she had sewn herself, knowing that Li Che liked black.
As Li Che's lips touched the wine cup, he heard Zhang Ya's words and froze.
Birthday...
Unknowingly, twenty-five years had passed since he arrived in this world.
Li Che's eyes softened, "It's true... We're already an old couple... Why celebrate birthdays? It's not like it's Xixi's..."
Li Che couldn't help but smile, accepting the birthday gift from his wife and caressing it lovingly.
Although it was just an ordinary garment, every stitch and thread was sewn with care by his wife, and as he touched the fabric, he could feel her affection for him.
Time passed, and it was because of those who cared about him that his life became beautiful and endearing.
Looking at his charming wife, Li Che understood more deeply the significance of protecting his small family.
...
...
Li Che spent his twenty-fifth birthday in the company of his wife.
It was the first official birthday he celebrated since coming to this world.
It was indeed a surprising turn of events.
The news of Li Che's absence from Liuxiang Alley was quickly exposed, and the congratulatory emissaries from the aristocratic families had no choice but to leave with disappointment. As for the Divine Sect, even though they were from aristocratic families, they couldn't just casually enter the area.
Besides the shocking news of Li Che's breakthrough to the Demi-God Divine Eagle, another even more sensational piece of news spread back to the Primordial Dao City.
That was the news about the Mystic Temple of Twinheart Bodhisattva on Divine Eagle Ridge, where the Mindful Golden Iron Rod had appeared.
Lu Tai Bai personally set the rules, allowing only the First Opening Martial Saint and Divine Embryo Cultivators at the First Transformation Divine Embryo realm to enter the Wui Que of Twinheart Bodhisattva to search for the Mindful Golden Iron Rod.
For those beyond this cultivation level, Lu Tai Bai would personally draw his sword and kill them.
Once the news got out, it caused a huge commotion, like a mountain roar and a sea tsunami, with waves reaching the sky.
The Mindful Golden Iron Rod became a highly sought-after item due to a single statement from the Inspector of the Heaven Gazing Office. Various forces wanted to obtain this Mythical Armament, hoping to plant it on the walls of Qitian City and witness the legendary Hunyuan Ruyi Staff!
However, the Wui Que was in an uproar, and the strange mist was rising. To enter the Wui Que and search for the Mythical Armament, one had to wait for the riot to subside and the mist to disperse to normal levels. Only then would entry be permitted.
As for when the riot would subside, the governor of the Temple Administration, Feng Zhi Qi, provided an explanation.
"Usually, the recovery period for a strange temple's Wui Que is three years. But within a year, the strange mist will return to normal levels, and at that time, people can enter the Wui Que to search for the Mindful Golden Iron Rod."
Feng Zhi Qi's words caused quite a stir, making many people's eyes sparkle with anticipation.
"This time, the opening of the Wui Que of Twinheart Bodhisattva and Divine Eagle Ridge allows not only Martial Saints but also Great Masters to enter. During this period, everyone can improve their cultivation and meet the standards set by the Great Master of the Tai Bai Sect."
Eventually, the commotion would subside.
Half a month passed.
Li Che became the Demi-God Divine Eagle, and the news of the Divine Sect opening the Wui Que of Twinheart Bodhisattva gradually faded away.
Listening to the Thunder Alley.
Li Che was studying mechanisms, planning to attempt crafting the Namo Immortal Art Super Electromagnetic Cannon. However, his progress was rather average.
The main issue was that the electromagnetic cannon's killing power was weaker than Li Che had imagined.
Forget about threatening Martial Saints; even the top Great Masters with Three Flowers might not be injured by the electromagnetic cannon's power.
Li Che was quite disappointed, feeling that his research had hit a bottleneck.
Even with the constant circulation of the Immortal Art Dao Fruit, Li Che still felt stuck at a bottleneck. It seemed that everyone encountered bottlenecks, and he, Li Che, was no exception.
Currently, the electromagnetic cannon was in its initial formation, but how to increase its power became a challenging problem for Li Che and his collective of alter egos to solve.
However, Li Che already had a vague idea in his mind.
It specifically depended on the Five Elders' Little Celestial Tower Thunder Talisman that the Sect Lady had agreed to draw for him.
Whoosh—
A sound tore through the air.
A hunched figure wearing a cat face mask appeared in the courtyard with familiarity.
It was none other than Li Qing Shan.
Li Qing Shan held the Book of Life and Death in his hand, and his eyes shone beneath the mask.
His aura had become even more powerful, and his progress was evident, as he had been diligently cultivating.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qing Shan.
"How is it?"
Li Qing Shan pushed the cat face mask up his head, revealing his face, and smiled, "The Hunter Pavilion's bounty has been updated..."
"Xi Xi's ranking on the bounty list remains unchanged, still at third place. As for you, I've been keeping an eye on your ranking as you requested. With your breakthrough to the Demi-God Divine Eagle, there has indeed been a significant change."
"You're currently ranked fifth on the bounty list!"
"Someone is offering a Four Divine Subordinate Deity Crystal to take your life!"
Li Qing Shan chuckled softly, explaining to Li Che.
"Ranked fifth on the bounty list... The only Demi-God Divine Eagle from the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and yet the bounty is still lower than Xi Xi's?"
"Well, it makes sense. Xi Xi is not only Lu Tai Bai's direct disciple but also the Young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. It's understandable that her bounty is higher."
Li Che nodded, his eyes flashing, "Being fifth on the bounty list, there should be some restless assassins from the Hunter Pavilion, right?"
"Most likely, the assassins targeting me and those after Xi Xi are from the same group."
Li Che smiled.
Li Qing Shan looked at Li Che strangely, "Ah Che... What are you planning to do?"
"Of course, I'm going to be a father who does his best to protect his daughter's safety."
Li Che stretched lazily, and his bones made popping sounds.
"Eliminate them."
"These assassins, if they dare to target me, will eventually target my daughter. So, they must die." Li Che said calmly.
Li Qing Shan took a deep breath.
Sacrifice himself?
Enter alone, just to eliminate all the Hunter Pavilion assassins who could threaten Xi Xi's safety?!
"By the way, there's another piece of news."
Li Qing Shan thought for a moment and said to Li Che, "Because you're the first Demi-God Divine Eagle in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect in hundreds of years and you're only twenty-five years old, a Demi-God Divine Eagle from the Lingyin Temple in Xiling Dao has come to challenge you."
"This Demi-God Divine Eagle is clearly targeting you. Your appearance has affected the Divine Eagle business of the Lingyin Temple. They want to defeat you in a Divine Eagle contest, tarnish your soaring reputation, and solidify their Divine Eagle business in Lingnan Dao. Additionally, they can suppress the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's influence in the Demi-God Divine Eagle business."
"After all, the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was most renowned during its heyday for its Divine Eagles..."
Upon hearing this, Li Che rolled his eyes, "Can't I just refuse to compete?"
Li Qing Shan couldn't help but laugh at Li Che's words.
It was said like this...
Seeing that Li Che wasn't interested in this topic, Li Qingshan didn't say anything more.
However, when the time comes, if Li Che wants to refuse the challenge from the Divine Eagle Demi-Saint of Lingyin Temple... it won't be so easy.
Buzz!
Three black shadows quickly flashed past and landed in the courtyard.
It was Huang Jian Jiu, You Li Qing, and Long Wangfei Ao Yu Xin.
These three Divine Bindings had been dispatched by Li Che to the outskirts of Divine Eagle Ridge to keep watch and search for any hidden traces of the Corpse God Sect.
Li Che was even more interested in those hidden members of the Corpse God Sect outside Divine Eagle Ridge.
After all, the threat of the Corpse God Sect was very real.
Over the past half a month, Li Che had been rather busy, as there were indeed many mundane matters to attend to as the Divine Eagle Demi-Saint.
He hadn't had the time to thoroughly investigate Divine Eagle Ridge.
However, tonight was a good opportunity to make a trip there. With an LV5-level Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he wondered if he could uncover the hidden bases of the Corpse God Sect around Divine Eagle Ridge.
Huang Jian Jiu scratched his head, "I've almost searched every corner around Divine Eagle Ridge, but there's no trace of those heretics from the Corpse God Sect. Even when I used the Corpse God Seal to stimulate them... there was no reaction at all."
Upon hearing this, Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he indeed felt something strange.
"The Corpse God Sect... where could they be hiding?"
You Li Qing tightly gripped the Eight-Zhang Serpent Spear, his golden armor gleaming, as he turned to face Li Che, his expression solemn.
"Master, although we haven't found any traces of the Corpse God Sect..."
"But, I have an unexpected discovery."
The Dragon Maiden stood by You Li Qing's side, also raising her hand, "Master, I also have an unexpected discovery!"
Li Che was taken aback and looked at the two of them.
His gaze fell upon the Dragon Queen, and he said in a deep voice, "You first."
The Dragon Queen immediately became excited, as if boasting, "I sensed my seventh brother's aura!"
"The Dragon God Clan, the seventh Dragon Prince... Ao Lie!"
"He has come to the Heavenly Origin Dao City!"
"Ao Qing is his daughter."
Even as a Divine Binding, when the Dragon Queen mentioned Ao Qing, a hint of pain couldn't help but surface on her face.
A Dragon Prince?!
"The Dragon God Clan has nine Dragon Princes, and each one is a powerful Dragon King comparable to a Martial Saint. The first among them is the Dragon God Crown Prince, an extremely powerful figure ranked ninth at the Heavenly Gate Pass..."
You Li Qing spoke solemnly.
He was quite knowledgeable about the Dragon God Clan.
Li Che narrowed his eyes, "Ao Qing's father? A Dragon Prince of the Dragon God Clan?"
He had come to the Heavenly Origin Dao City without any notice? Li Che turned to You Li Qing, "What about your discovery?"
You Li Qing took a deep breath, and the sound of his golden armor rubbing together rang out.
"Master, I discovered Ji Li Shou! Although he hid his aura and came to the Heavenly Origin Dao City, he couldn't hide from me!"
Li Che's expression gradually turned serious.
"Ji Li Shou, the fourth son of the Prince of Pacification, Ji Maoli!"
One was the seventh Dragon Prince, Ao Lie, and the other was Ji Li Shou, the son of the Prince of Pacification! Li Che couldn't help but think of the Dragon Queen, You Li Qing, Su Huaili, and the others he had killed.
But if they had come for revenge...
Why hide their auras and sneak into the Dao City?
"What's their purpose for sneaking into the Dao City? Does the Tai Bai Sect Master know about this?"
"Regardless... you two continue to keep watch and observe them in secret."
Li Che instructed.
You Li Qing and the Dragon Queen cupped their fists and, in the next moment, transformed into black shadows, shooting out.
On the side, Li Qingshan was greatly shaken by this news.
Whether it was Ji Li Shou or the Dragon Prince Ao Lie, their identities were not to be taken lightly...
"They might be here to deal with the Netherworld, but they're definitely not here solely for that. Perhaps... it's for the Mindful Golden Iron Rod."
Li Che seemed deep in thought.
"To deal with my cat-faced Netherworld?!" Li Qingshan's body trembled, and a strong feeling rose within him.
His cat face might make an appearance again!
"Niu Mo, if my cat face is needed, I can secretly spread the news of their arrival in the Dao City..."
Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes. When it came to doing nasty things, he was an expert.
You sneaked in, but we know you're here. So, we won't let you have your way.
Li Che's eyes flashed, but he shook his head slightly.
"They don't know that we're aware of their arrival... In fact, we're in the shadows, and the advantage is on our side."
"Let's keep watch for a while and determine their movements and intentions first."
Upon hearing this, the feeling in Li Qingshan's heart of his cat face making a grand entrance became even stronger.
Li Che stood up, intending to grasp the Thunderbolt Chess Piece and teleport to Divine Eagle Ridge to investigate and uncover the whereabouts of those heretics from the Corpse God Sect.
Suddenly, Li Che's heart stirred slightly.
He grasped the Thunderbolt Chess Piece.
Directly teleporting from Thunder Alley to Lingering Fragrance Alley.
A sound of the door knocking echoed.
Li Che slowly walked out of the study and opened the courtyard door.
Before him stood a figure with purple hair, a robust and tall body of two meters, carrying a broadsword.
Li Che took one look and immediately understood the visitor's identity.
"The Fourth Direct Disciple of the Sect Master, the Sixth Elder's fourth brother, the prince of the Great Li King's Court... Xi Kuang!"
Xi Kuang's purple hair fluttered, and his gaze fell upon Li Che.
He respectfully cupped his fists and bowed.
"Elder Li."
"The Sect Lady sent me to call you over..."
"The Little Celestial Tower Five Thunder Shocking Death Talisman crafted by the Five Elders is complete!"
First Chapter, I took my child to the hospital for a medicine change this afternoon, and the doctor said it might require staying, so I was busy. I tried a folk remedy in the afternoon, and after a busy evening, I started writing. There will be another chapter later, which might be slightly delayed. Please support with monthly tickets, recommendations, and follows! I'll work hard to update more, thank you!
