Chapter 349: Where are the Boss and the Big Black Dog? Who Dares to Kill in the Divine Capital? (Part 2)
Fortunately, the First Prince had exceptional royal blood and cultivation talent, so two hundred years wasn't an issue.
The Second and Third Princes were much younger, and Lu Chi was even younger.
Li Che's eyes were cold, and a murderous aura like sinking incense emerged.
For the royal family, age wasn't a concern.
The age gap between the Great Jing Emperor and Ji Gui Fei exceeded several hundred years.
"If the Great Jing Emperor issues the edict himself, the impact will be significant!"
"Although the Great Jing has reduced the Temple Guarding Office's suppression of the various sects due to Wuique, and the main task of suppressing the Wuique has been handed over to the Divine Sect, in reality, the Great Jing is still in its heyday!"
"If the Great Jing Emperor issues an edict, even a Great Deity Sect wouldn't dare to underestimate it."
Li Che stood still, allowing the sparse snowflakes from the sky to land on him, melting into cold droplets that soaked his body.
"Well played, Ji Maoli..."
Li Che exhaled slowly and opened his eyes, shattering the wind and snow as he returned to his room.
His qi stirred, evaporating all the snowflakes and moisture.
He removed the Divine Monkey Mask from his face and took out the newly carved, incredibly cute Niu Mo Mask, placing it over his face.
He rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them, a fierce killing intent surged!
"Resorting to any means to get the emperor to issue an edict?"
"Then all you need to do is prevent her from reaching the emperor..."
"And the edict will never be issued!"
No matter what methods Ji Gui Fei used to request, persuade, or convince the emperor...
As long as Niu Mo took action first, preventing Ji Gui Fei from even meeting the emperor...
The edict would be nothing but a fantasy! Surely Ji Maoli wouldn't go and convince the emperor himself? Moreover...
From the intimate relationship between Ji Maoli and Ji Gui Fei, it was uncertain if the Third Prince was of pure royal blood.
This Ji Maoli, so ambitious... Was he planning to pull a switcheroo like the fox and the tiger? However, the chances of the Third Prince not being of the emperor's bloodline were likely low.
After all, the Great Jing Emperor had some cultivation, and his martial arts and divine energy were not weak. He had abundant resources at his disposal.
Even if his talent was lacking, with time and resources, he should have reached an extremely high level by now.
Upon reaching the Martial Saint realm, one could sense the presence of their bloodline in their offspring, so...
The Third Prince remained the Third Prince, indicating that there shouldn't be any unexpected issues.
"Kill you, and the emperor won't have his pillow talk whispering him to issue the edict."
A faint crimson smoke escaped from his pupils.
With a flick of his finger, the Immortal in the Painting scroll appeared, and after it unfurled, the Immortal in the Painting Li Che emerged from it.
Li Che had originally planned to use the Dominant Clone Li Che, but its abilities were too powerful, and it had been of great assistance to Li Che in Ink City. He decided to save it for later when they would join forces to kill Huang Mei.
So, Li Che ultimately chose the Immortal in the Painting Li Che.
The door creaked open, revealing the Immortal Li Che.
The sky was already bright, and the thin snowfall stubbornly continued, leaving the last traces of winter on the mortal realm.
Outside the Heavenly Yuan Academy.
A simple yet dignified carriage slowly approached and came to a stop at the entrance of the academy.
On the carriage, a large 'Qin' character indicated that this unassuming carriage belonged to the Celestial Observatory.
In the Divine Capital, there were three buildings that even the most powerful and influential officials dared not underestimate.
All three were located in the Second City of the Divine Capital: the Heaven-Reading Treasure Tower, the Temple Guarding Office's Divine Tower, and the National Master Lotus Pavilion.
Any faction associated with these three buildings would attract the attention of the entire Divine Capital.
When the Celestial Observatory's carriage stopped at the Heavenly Yuan Academy, many onlookers began to speculate and understand the situation.
The Divine Falcon Demi-Saint Li Che, who had just showcased his extraordinary talent at the Dragonling Hero Banquet, was now heading to the Celestial Observatory, most likely to undergo the Special Guest Scholar Examination!
Indeed, the gates of the Heavenly Yuan Academy opened.
Li Che, dressed in a simple ink-black robe, strode out with a commanding presence.
Hong Shiffo, the Celestial Observatory's Supervisor of the Heavenly Dao City and a member of the Hong Family, emerged from the carriage to greet Li Che.
The Hong Family, once a prosperous and ancient clan, had fallen into decline after the rumored demise of their Divine Tribulation Realm ancestor in the God-Slaying Gale, one of the Three Disasters.
Despite sustaining heavy losses, the Hong Family managed to preserve their lineage by relocating to the Mystic Path, away from the Divine Capital.
"Please, Li Demi-Saint," Hong Shiffo said, carrying a chessboard on his back.
"The headquarters of the Celestial Observatory, the Heaven-Reading Treasure Tower, is located deep within the Second City of the Divine Capital. It's heavily guarded, and without the proper credentials and identity, it's nearly impossible to enter."
"Therefore, I've come to personally escort you there, Li Demi-Saint." Hong Shiffo explained with a smile.
He was somewhat surprised, as he had expected the Century Gamble to last for a while before concluding. However, Li Che had directly defeated the first heroes of the six great sects and the personal disciple of Ji Maoli in a single day, achieving seven consecutive victories and abruptly ending the Century Gamble.
Hong Shiffo was caught off guard and had to rearrange his plans before coming to escort Li Che to the Celestial Observatory in the Divine Capital today.
The Special Guest Scholar Examination had to be prepared in advance due to Li Che's overwhelming victory.
As Li Che boarded the carriage, many powerful individuals in the Fourth City witnessed the moment. The carriage wheels crushed the puddles on the ground as it headed towards the Second City.
While everyone assumed that Li Che and Hong Shiffo were heading to the Second City...
Inside the Heavenly Yuan Academy.
Within the house, Li Che's jet-black hair stood erect like bolts of black lightning, striking the air with crackling intensity!
"Ji Gui Fei..."
A white chess piece slowly materialized in the palm of the Niu Mo Mask, resembling a fan.
And then...
...
...
In the Second City of the Divine Capital, at the Ji Family Manor.
The vast Ji Family Manor occupied a large area, akin to a small city, housing the extensive Ji Family.
Their roots ran deep, spreading like a vast network throughout the entire Divine Capital.
In a small courtyard, the black roof was free of icicles, and the thin falling snow appeared almost transparent, covering the tiles like a layer of ice sand.
Cold and crisp spring air blew through the carved wooden window, causing the bed curtains to flutter.
A maid was tending to the fire, adding red-hot coal and fresh charcoal, creating a rolling boil of heat that added moisture to the room.
At the dressing table, Ji Gui Fei chose to style her own hair and makeup, determined to make herself as beautiful as possible.
She was following Ji Maoli's orders to please the emperor, who was over three hundred years her senior, and secure a marriage for the third prince.
If she didn't comply...
Her hands trembled slightly as she combed her hair, as if a strand had caught on her jade comb.
Ji Gui Fei's long eyelashes fluttered, and she closed her eyes.
Then, she opened them again, determination flashing in her eyes, "As long as His Majesty issues the decree for Li Nuoxi and Tong'er to be betrothed... the prince will support Tong'er's bid for the crown prince position!"
Ji Gui Fei was well aware of Ji Maoli's immense power.
Of course, this was on the condition that Ji Maoli didn't cause a major incident in the Ink City.
The third prince, Lu Liti, with Ji Maoli's support...
Despite his young age, had a greater chance at becoming the crown prince and eventually succeeding the Jing Emperor.
Ji Gui Fei's breathing quickened at the thought. If the third prince became the crown prince and inherited the throne, she... would become the empress dowager! Perhaps, all the troubles Ji Maoli had caused for her would be resolved.
"So, for Tong'er's crown prince position... what's there to worry about a little girl's feelings?"
"In fact, betrothal to Tong'er would be a great honor for her!"
"A girl from a humble background, with the opportunity to become the empress... what a remarkable chance."
Ji Gui Fei's red lips curved lips curled slightly as she spoke softly.
Although she didn't understand why Ji Maoli had made this request, in her opinion, even if Li Nuoxi was the young mistress of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, marrying the third prince would still be a step down.
The future empress should be from a prestigious family, like the Gongshu Clan, the Yue Family, or... the most talented and beautiful woman from the Ji Family!
"A wild girl..."
Ji Gui Fei's nose wrinkled slightly, and she let out a dissatisfied huff.
A delicate comb made of jade is held, gently grooming the lustrous black hair, each strand distinct.
Her exquisite features are reflected in a mirror crafted from polished silver and gemstones.
With careful precision, she applies rouge, adding a subtle touch of color to her cheeks, enhancing her captivating beauty.
She picks up a piece of red paper, her little finger slightly raised.
Bringing it to her lips, she lightly moistens the paper.
Instantly, a vibrant red, like a blossoming flower, adorns her lips, leaving a fiery hue.
"Your Highness, you look so beautiful."
The maid, standing nearby, offers a compliment.
They all know that Ji Gui Fei enjoys being praised at this moment.
Indeed, Ji Gui Fei is stunningly beautiful, with a delicate beauty akin to a flower that has endured cruelty, now bearing the maturity of a mother of two children, making her allure even more enticing.
It was this beauty that allowed her to enter the Jing Emperor's harem.
Now, although the Jing Emperor has found new love, she still holds a position within the harem.
"Yes, so beautiful."
"Indeed, very beautiful."
A deep, hoarse voice speaks up after the maid's compliment.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound, like a startling thunderclap, reverberates.
Ji Gui Fei's smile, with her lips slightly curled, freezes for a moment.
The maids in the room are momentarily stunned.
They are unsure of the source of this crude male voice.
Could it be that the Prince hasn't left yet?!
Wanting to...
Hmm?!
Ji Gui Fei's gaze suddenly narrows, her long lashes trembling violently.
Through the silver mirror, she sees a smiling, adorable ox demon mask suddenly appear behind her.
The ox demon mask hangs with a smile.
But that smile sends a chilling sense of horror through Ji Gui Fei.
"Who?!"
"Who are you?!"
Ji Gui Fei feels her heart clenched as if grasped by a terrifying hand.
She turns her head abruptly.
Before her, a mass of flesh twists and swells, causing the black clothing to bulge, resembling a terrifying tower, leaving her breathless and in a nightmarish state.
In that moment...
She seems to recall a childhood nightmare.
That man...
Initially, he was like this, a towering figure filling her vision.
But she soon realizes that the figure before her...
Isn't that man, isn't Ji Maoli!
Thump, thump, thump—
She tries to stimulate the divine energy in her Niwan Palace.
However, she can't activate it!
Divine Embryo!
Martial Saint!
Whether it's her qi or divine energy, they are both suppressed with immense force!
"Assassin!!!"
Ji Gui Fei lets out a terrified and piercing scream.
She attempts to use the most primal method to send a message, hoping the Ji family's Martial Saint and Divine Embryo experts will sense it...
But—
The scream fails to reach anyone.
It's as if the entire room is sealed off, isolated from another dimension.
Ji Gui Fei's eyes, filled with terror, glance at the roof, where a chessboard with intersecting lines slowly rotates.
The two personal maids, both with exceptional cultivation, immediately react upon seeing the ox demon. They stimulate their qi, ready to save Ji Gui Fei.
These two maids are both at the Three Flowers Realm, with a near-death determination.
They seem to be using a unique secret technique, seeking to eliminate him without hesitation.
However, the ox demon, wearing the adorable mask, raises his hand.
His five fingers spread wide.
The qi within the two maids erupts, like countless arrows shooting out, and they are instantly torn into pieces, their blood mist filling the air.
In front of Li Che, whose body is now almost purely martial, these two maids, unable to control their own qi...
Are truly weak.
Ji Gui Fei raises her hand, touching the exquisitely painted area between her eyebrows.
She tries to forcefully stimulate her divine energy.
But...
In the next moment.
A palm, like a fan, covers her head.
Ji Gui Fei is terrified.
She doesn't understand why she has attracted such an assassin.
Nor does she comprehend how, within the Ji family's mansion, such a terrifying assassin could appear!
"Why...why?"
Her delicate makeup has smudged, and her fear is palpable.
The beauty that was once cruelly treated now reaches its peak.
She is beautiful.
She presses her lips together, asking with difficulty and desperation.
Using her allure, she seeks a glimmer of hope from the man before her.
However...
She meets the rolling anger in his eyes, like a raging sea, beneath the ox demon mask.
Looking at her, with her tragic and captivating beauty, he seems like a wicked old woman feeding poison to a precious child.
This man, his eyes devoid of any regard for women.
No explanation is given.
Death requires no explanation.
The fan-like hand clenches.
Ji Gui Fei's head, with its beauty, explodes into a bloody mist.
A finger snaps.
A strand of Primordial Essence Aura, like an electric arc, surges out.
Ji Gui Fei's physical body is shredded into blood mist.
The mist, both hazy and pungent, intertwines.
The ox demon, with his towering figure and muscles, seems like an uncontrollable dragon, roaring towards the sky.
His eyes, full of intensity, radiate killing intent.
Who dares say he can't kill in the Divine Capital?
Slaughter.
Begins.
"First..."
