Chapter 328: Xi Xi's Dragon Marrow Hell Lotus Bone Strengthening Soup, Three Thousand Years of Xi Wa
Chapter 328: Xi Xi's Dragon Marrow Hell Lotus Bone Strengthening Soup, Three Thousand Years of Xi Wang Mu Peach (Part 2)
The snow in the sky seemed to melt, turning into large raindrops that tore through the air, pouring down onto the Grand Canal, creating a continuous roar and splashing countless droplets on the water's surface.
The raindrops fell on the deck of the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship, bouncing like drops on a hot pan.
On the deck, only the crew members, wearing conical hats and straw raincoats, remained, pulling ropes and running about.
Inside the intricately carved and painted cabin, the curtains fluttered gently in the wind.
Li Che sat in a chair, his ink-black robe's hem billowing.
After a long time, he exhaled, slowly opening his eyes.
"Five days have passed... why is there no sign of movement?"
"Where is the Titled Ancient Dragon King?"
"Our flowers have withered..."
Li Che leaned back in his chair, murmuring.
Waiting for the Dragon King, he felt lonely...
Li Che sensed the presence of Yue Huanglong and Yan Jing, who had followed along the way. When the treasure ship merged into the Grand Canal, Yue Huanglong and Yan Jing's figures seemed to pause briefly before eventually catching up.
They, too, seemed to be waiting for the Dragon King, eager to witness the excitement.
But...
The ships had entered the Grand Canal, yet the Dragon King had not appeared.
It was as if the Dragon King had stood them up.
Even Li Che felt something was amiss.
"This Dragon King... is he planning something big?"
Li Che's expression turned solemn.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard continued to expand, maintaining a thousand-li range, the maximum extent Li Che could achieve while consuming his spiritual power.
It had grown compared to before, but the consumption was also greater.
However, Li Che, with his Divine Embryo Transformation's primordial spirit, had cultivation far beyond his previous capabilities.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard surged into the sky, expanding its net, crisscrossing the sky! It enveloped the lonely scene of the Grand Canal, surrounded by mountains and rivers, like a painting of "Fishing Alone in the Cold River Snow."
Hmm?!
Suddenly, Li Che narrowed his eyes, pausing slightly.
He sensed through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard an invisible killing intent, approximately eight hundred li north of the Grand Canal, pouring down from the chessboard like a breached dam, causing the mountains, forests, and all creatures to fall silent.
Killing intent...
Such intense killing intent?!
Li Che stood up from his chair, ending his cultivation for the day. He slowly strolled out of the room and made his way to the balcony of the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.
He watched as the heavy rain poured down, covering the Grand Canal, causing its waters to roar and churn!
It was as if someone had intentionally altered the weather, bringing down a torrential downpour.
Even a Divine Embryo cultivator with an extremely powerful Heaven and Earth Soul would be affected and have their senses hindered.
This torrential rain was meant to influence the Divine Embryo cultivator's Heaven and Earth Soul's perception.
However, for Li Che, this influence was negligible.
After all, Li Che was using the Heaven and Earth Chessboard's perception, not the Heaven and Earth Soul.
Through the Heaven and Earth Chessboard's perception, the killing intent eight hundred li away was completely exposed, unable to escape detection.
The dense death and corpse aura almost transformed into a monstrous death qi on the chessboard, surging and engulfing the figures within.
Li Che felt the moisture in the air and listened to the thunderous sound of the rainstorm pounding on the deck.
He exhaled slowly.
"The Corpse God Sect..."
He felt the terrifying and familiar aura coming from the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Li Che was all too familiar with the aura of the evil members of the Corpse God Sect.
"It's you again..."
"You're really persistent, not afraid of being killed!"
Li Che's voice turned cold.
"The Corpse God Sect, which is confronting Ji Maoli, can actually send so many powerful experts to appear on the Grand Canal."
"The Corpse God Sect can make such a grand move to leave Jizhou..."
Li Che narrowed his eyes.
"The Pacifying King Ji Maoli..."
"Are you crazy?"
Li Che even seriously suspected that Ji Maoli... might be colluding with the Corpse God Sect.
Otherwise, as the Pacifying King and the most powerful vassal king of the Dajing Dynasty, how could he allow the evil members of the Corpse God Sect to be mobilized so easily?
Not even a little pressure? What kind of Pacifying King are you?
At the very least, from the frequent appearances of the evil members of the Corpse God Sect, Li Che felt...
Ji Maoli...
There was definitely something wrong.
Leaning on the railing and watching the rain, the world was quiet, leaving only the roar of the rainstorm.
Li Che turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
He arrived at the hall of the pavilion.
The hall was bustling because the children could only gather in the pavilion hall to play since the deck was soaked by the rain.
Li Che immediately spotted Xi Xi, and his eyes widened in surprise.
However, he saw that Xi Xi was furrowing her brows, racking her brains, and playing against the Supervisor Hong Shi Fo, who was also treating the situation with utmost seriousness.
They took turns placing their pieces, and the two seemed to be fighting an intense battle, unwilling to give up.
Supervisor Hong Shi Fo did not stay in the Dao City's Heaven Forecasting Bureau but followed the team to the Divine Capital.
Ever since Supervisor Hong Shi Fo played a game of Five-in-a-Row with Xi Xi and experienced a fierce battle, he couldn't forget it. He came to play with Xi Xi every day.
"Daddy!"
Xi Xi, who was tilting her head and racking her brains, saw Li Che and her eyes lit up. She quickly stood up and waved, and her little belly accidentally knocked over the chessboard, scattering the pieces all over the floor.
"Oh no, the chessboard fell! Xi Xi the Great was about to win, what a pity. Let's start over, let's start over!"
Xi Xi exclaimed in disappointment.
Supervisor Hong Shi Fo was so angry that his beard was trembling. He pointed at Xi Xi with his finger, and his hand was shaking.
His "Four-in-a-Row Kill" and "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl" were both ruined!
This little girl...
Sure enough, she was a worthy opponent for Supervisor Hong Shi Fo in chess! Even the way she overturned the chessboard was so similar!
However, Supervisor Hong Shi Fo also truly felt the frustration of playing chess with others.
Li Che raised the corners of his lips and walked over to ruffle Xi Xi's head.
"Don't bully Supervisor Hong, it's enough."
Li Che said with a smile.
Xi Xi immediately smiled brightly, putting her hands on her hips. "Oh, I understand."
Supervisor Hong Shi Fo immediately blew his beard and glared at Li Che. "Li Che, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be bullied by this little girl?"
"Come on! Little girl, let's play another 300 rounds! Whoever loses won't get to eat dinner tonight!"
Supervisor Hong Shi Fo shouted, calling Xi Xi to play Five-in-a-Row again.
"Hmph! Bring it on! Xi Xi the Great will definitely defeat you!"
Xi Xi was also full of fighting spirit.
Li Che reached out and ruffled Xi Xi's head.
In her chest, the Chess Sage's Dharmic Fruit trembled slightly, and the next moment, it seemed as if a warm current flowed into Xi Xi's body.
The Chess Sage's Dharmic Fruit, being called the Chess Sage...
Of course, it couldn't just have the function of a high-morality chess sage.
Li Che smiled meaningfully and glanced pitifully at Supervisor Hong Shi Fo before heading towards the direction of Lu Tai Bai's room.
After Li Che left...
Xi Xi, full of fighting spirit, played against Supervisor Hong Shi Fo again.
Her plump little hand reached into the chess box, and her original chicken claw grip slightly changed...
Her index finger and thumb automatically and elegantly picked up a chess piece, swept it horizontally in front of her eyes, and then with a clack, she placed it steadily on the center of the board, with an overwhelming aura!
Xi Xi's eyes lit up, and she felt the swelling sensation.
Oh, her hand had its own ideas!
Supervisor Hong Shi Fo's face turned solemn. With his extensive experience, he...
Suddenly felt a sense of oppression as if mountains were pressing down on him.
He looked at the chess pieces in the chess box, and they seemed to be slightly jumping!
Facing Xi Xi, this little girl...
It was as if he was facing the national chess master of the current dynasty!
Oh, what the hell!
...
...
Li Che saw Lu Tai Bai polishing the Tai Bai Sword.
It seemed that Lu Tai Bai was aware that this treasure ship's journey on the Grand Canal was not very safe, and he had already started polishing the treasure sword, preparing to draw it.
"This time... the Tai Bai Sword will be stained with blood."
Lu Tai Bai lowered his head, focused on polishing, without looking at Li Che, but he spoke, obviously addressing Li Che.
"The Netherworld has sent news... Eight hundred li away, there are evil members of the Corpse God Sect waiting, and their lineup is not weak. Based on the concentration of death energy and corpse energy... it is stronger than the Corpse God Sect's lineup that was previously hidden in the Corpse God Realm outside Shen Diao Ridge."
Li Che spoke solemnly.
In front of Lu Tai Bai, Li Che didn't bother pretending.
Lu Tai Bai raised his head, and his eyes flickered with a mysterious light. "Eight hundred li away?"
At such a distance, the Netherworld could still clearly investigate? Even Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but marvel at the Netherworld's intelligence gathering abilities, which were the best among all the forces in the world.
The Corpse God Sect's actions were definitely to hide and ambush, waiting for a fatal strike.
However, the Netherworld had seen through the Corpse God Sect's ambush.
"It seems like there's a Corpse God..."
Li Che thought for a moment, sensing the terrifying and overwhelming death energy and corpse energy beyond the eight hundred mountains and rivers in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, and he couldn't help but speak with a solemn tone.
"Corpse God?"
Lu Tai Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Also..."
Lu Tai Bai paused for a moment while wiping the Tai Bai Sword.
"I've also received news that the Dragon Deity Clan has sent a Venerable Dragon King, but for some unknown reason, this ancient Dragon King has yet to appear."
"Moreover, three hundred li away, there are two figures following our treasure ship. Sect Master... you should be able to guess who they are, right?"
Lu Tai Bai gripped the sword hilt, and with a buzzing sound, the long sword began to rotate. A strange color flashed in his eyes.
"The Venerable Dragon King of the Dragon Deity Clan, coming for Ao Yuaxin or the deceased Dragon Son, Ao Lie... The Dragon Deity Clan shouldn't be so indecisive. Nowadays, the Dragon Deity Clan is already in decline, and they're still sending a Venerable Dragon King for a single Dragon Son?"
Lu Tai Bai squinted his eyes.
"It should be Ji Maoli's arrangement... The Dragon Deity Clan has an alliance with Ji Maoli through marriage, and many things are now decided by him."
"It seems that those ancient dragons of the Dragon Deity Clan are also betting the future of their clan on Ji Maoli."
Lu Tai Bai gave a cold laugh.
Li Che was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Lu Tai Bai meant by 'betting'.
It seemed that there were some inside information that he was unaware of.
Lu Tai Bai sheathed his sword, his white robe as pure as snow, and his silver hair flowing in the wind.
His silver eyebrows rose slightly as he looked at Li Che and laughed, "If it were in the past, after Ji Maoli lost a son, he would have already grabbed his peerless umbrella spear and headed for the Primordial Dao City..."
"But now, after losing a son, he still hasn't taken any action. He's holding back his anger."
"It can only be said that Ji Maoli... has grand ambitions."
Lu Tai Bai stood up and strolled over to Li Che's side, and together, they walked to the railing, gazing at the relentless downpour of rain.
Lu Tai Bai closed his eyes slightly, and within his wide sleeves, the Tai Bai Sword trembled, emitting a chilling sword hum.
"In this rain..."
"There's a bloody scent..."
"My sword is excited."
Lu Tai Bai opened his eyes, and within his pupils, sword light raged and swirled.
Li Che was astonished, as he hadn't actually smelled any bloody scent.
"This is... the scent of dragon blood..."
Lu Tai Bai exhaled.
"The Venerable Dragon King of the Dragon Deity Clan... should be on his way."
Upon hearing this, Li Che's eyes flickered slightly.
He seemed to have guessed something.
When they were on their way from Jin Guangfu City to the Primordial Dao City...
Li Che had also heard that some powerful members of the Dragon Deity Clan were planning to intercept them along the way.
In the end, they let the Corpse God Sect and the Hunting God Pavilion off the hook.
Initially, Li Che thought that those powerful members of the Dragon Deity Clan had changed their minds.
But now it seems...
They've all turned into dog shit.
Li Che twitched his lips...
So that dragon blood wine they drank at the restaurant...
Was it like this?
He immersed his mind into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
He pushed the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to its limits.
If the Owner and the Dog Lord were to take action, it would be normal for the Heaven and Earth Chessboard to be unable to sense them. He needed to switch to a different method.
He began a meticulous sweeping search.
Finally...
Li Che saw a large expanse of crimson on the canal's surface, five hundred li away, as if silently blooming from another world.
...
...
Boom!
The raging waves surged, and the scorching vital energy intertwined on the river's surface. The water within hundreds of zhang was dyed blood-red.
A lone boat drifted aimlessly on the river.
The surging waves crashed against it, but before they reached the boat, they calmed down, becoming tranquil without a ripple.
On the boat's deck, there was a small stool and a white-robed figure.
The Owner held a roll of paper and used bamboo tweezers to pick out tobacco from his waist pouch. He spread it evenly, then rolled it into a cigarette and tapped it lightly on the back of his hand.
"Doggy, be gentle. Don't eat all the dragon marrow by yourself. That stuff can make a 'Dragon Marrow Hell Lotus Bone Strengthening Soup' for Xi Xi. If you ruin the dragon marrow, you won't get a good meal."
Holding the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, the Owner was about to light it when he saw in the distance a giant black dog, as massive as a mountain, brutally tearing at the flesh of an extremely terrifying dragon corpse, emitting an extremely suppressed aura.
He hurriedly shouted.
The giant black dog's body was covered in patterns that resembled flowing lava. Hearing the Owner's call, it froze momentarily, then raised its paw and scratched its head.
Then, it carefully used its paw to twist off the massive dragon's head. The waterfall-like dragon blood crashed into the canal, boiling and scorching, turning the canal water into white mist.
Then, with a buzzing sound, the dog's paw shot out sharp claws.
It began to skillfully scale and gut the dragon on the river's surface.
Suddenly, the dog paused.
Its jet-black eyes, like black jujubes, shot up towards the sky.
It tilted its head.
Its teeth, stained with a few strands of dragon meat, were revealed in two perfectly straight rows.
