Chapter 350: The Netherworld's Fengdu, a Massacre, Leaving None Alive (Part 1)
Chapter 350: The Netherworld's Fengdu, a Massacre, Leaving None Alive (Part 1)
Li Che was ready to unleash his wrath.
Upon arriving in the Divine Capital, Li Che felt he had been too honest and straightforward.
However, the price of his honesty was being humiliated and trampled upon.
Whether it was Ji Gui Fei bringing Lu Chi to propose a marriage, the six great sects joining forces to block the Qianyuan Divine Sect, or during the grand gamble where Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage used Wu Yuan's power from the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda to suppress Xi Xi's Temple Deity Divine Energy and force out her Prison Lotus Power!
All these were whips lashing at Li Che's honest and straightforward attitude.
So...
Li Che decided not to remain honest and straightforward any longer.
Killing Ji Gui Fei was no challenge for Li Che at this point; it was more of an emotional release.
Ji Gui Fei's status was indeed noble, but what of it?
Even if she hid within the Ji Family Manor, the outcome would be the same.
The main reason was that Li Che had long ago planted a Thunderbolt Chess Piece on her body.
Staying vigilant in safety had always been Li Che's habit. When the Qianyuan Divine Sect and Dao City's Yellow Dragon Xuanmu Treasure Boat just arrived at the Ninth City Pier of the Divine Capital.
Ji Gui Fei, accompanied by Lu Chi, came forth aggressively to propose a marriage and set a betrothal between Lu Chi and Xi Xi.
Her lofty attitude, as if it were the ultimate honor for Xi Xi, left an impression on Li Che's mind.
Although Ji Gui Fei's strength might not pose a threat, her status was different. Perhaps this status could bring trouble to Xi Xi?
Li Che considered this possibility, so he planted a Thunderbolt Chess Piece on her body to monitor her movements and situation.
As it turned out, Li Che's habit of staying vigilant in safety was indeed sound.
Those who brought their families along should have the habit and quality of staying vigilant in safety, just as Li Che had guessed. Ji Gui Fei's status indeed posed a potential threat to Xi Xi.
So, Li Che didn't hesitate at all and made a decisive move.
Killing Ji Gui Fei, even if she was a dead person with a special status, wouldn't cause too much of a stir. At the very least, it reduced the chances of this woman, the most revered emperor's favorite concubine, whispering sweet nothings into his ear.
Perhaps that emperor had his own judgment and wouldn't be swayed by a woman's words.
But Li Che didn't dare to gamble or want to take that chance.
As for what kind of storm killing this woman would stir up, Li Che didn't care...
He had always faced challenges head-on.
With his increasing strength, Li Che's actions became more aggressive. If it were for himself, he could be cautious, but for his daughter, he chose to be bold.
Thick blood mist filled the entire room.
However, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard completely blocked it, preventing even a hint of it from escaping.
Li Che's tall and robust body resembled a mountain, his head almost touching the ceiling.
After killing Ji Gui Fei, Li Che didn't leave immediately. He raised his palm, a fan-like hand, the very hand that had crushed Ji Gui Fei's skull, with its five fingers curved inward.
Binding Spirit.
A cold wind seemed to howl, chilling the air.
Ji Gui Fei's bound spirit hovered in confusion.
In the moment it fully materialized, Ji Gui Fei's bound spirit trembled, then glared at Niu Mo with intense hatred.
"Ah—It's you—Ah—"
As Ji Gui Fei transformed into a bound spirit, she instantly knew who had killed her.
How dare he?!
How dare he?!
This lowly, despicable man, so vile that she felt disgusted, how dare he kill her?! Ji Gui Fei's bound spirit raged with hatred.
Under the Niu Mo Mask, Li Che's eyes were cold and emotionless.
A mere glance from him froze Ji Gui Fei's bound spirit like ice, making it rigid and immovable.
Fear appeared on her bound spirit's face.
However...
Even though she was a high and mighty concubine, the emperor's favorite, and his beloved...
In front of Li Che.
After becoming a bound spirit.
Life and death were in Li Che's control... A single glance was enough to seal Ji Gui Fei's fate.
Boom, boom, boom—
One bound spirit after another, like black flames, ignited on the ground, twisting and growing into towering figures with scarlet eyes and rigid bodies.
Xue Yifu and Long Tai, two burly men, glared at Ji Gui Fei with their bound spirits.
In Ji Gui Fei's terrified gaze, her bound spirit was torn apart.
Accompanied by creaking sounds...
It was slowly devoured.
Picking up Ji Gui Fei's Heaven and Earth Jade, even a mosquito is meat, after all, she was a concubine, and there should be some good items on her.
After collecting the Heaven and Earth Jade, Li Che clenched his fist, and a chess piece appeared in his palm.
Then, according to the predetermined anchor point, he vanished within the room.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard, which had blocked the room's breath, instantly withdrew.
In the moment the chessboard was removed, the bloody smell within the room, like an extremely compressed blood bomb, exploded, and countless bloody droplets sprayed out, staining the silver mirror on the dressing table, creating a gruesome scene.
The eunuch's face paled, his eyes devoid of any expression. At that moment, his gaze fixed on the room, witnessing the shattered flesh and blood, and he clearly captured the essence and blood of Ji Gui Fei, as well as the blood and flesh of the two dead maidservants.
"This is too cruel..."
"Who... Who could have done this...?"
"Your Highness... Such a tragic death!"
The eunuch's low growl seemed to erupt from the depths of his throat, his body trembling uncontrollably, shaking and shivering without cease.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of breaking the air reverberated continuously, and three terrifying forces emerged, as if the air itself was burning and twisting, exuding a frightening aura that seemed to materialize into a fireball. It rushed from the depths of the Ji Family Manor, swiftly approaching the courtyard.
It then landed outside the courtyard.
It was none other than the head of the Wangu Family, Ji Qingchuan, and two Grand Elders, both at the Four-Opening Martial Saint realm!
Their auras were incredibly powerful, with one being a Divine Embryo Great Deity, and the other two being Four-Opening Martial Saints.
This was the pinnacle of power within the Wangu Family.
Ji Gui Fei, also known as Ji Yan, held a special status. As soon as the thick bloody smell emerged from her courtyard, the three powerful individuals who were in deep cultivation rushed over.
"Damn it!"
"What audacity! Such nerve!"
Ji Qingchuan, the head of the Ji Family, was filled with uncontrollable rage. His luxurious robe fluttered in the powerful aura, rippling with intensity.
The other two elders also had extremely cold expressions.
Their gazes fell upon the eunuch, who was sent from the Imperial Palace Temple in the First City to protect Ji Gui Fei. His cultivation was also extremely strong, reaching the Three-Opening Martial Saint realm.
It could be said that if this eunuch went all out, he could even hold off a top-tier expert for a move or two...
At the very least, he could create a huge disturbance.
But...
This eunuch did nothing, and Ji Gui Fei died!
Ji Qingchuan's face turned extremely unsightly. Ji Gui Fei's status was extremely important to the Ji Family. She had given birth to two children for the Great Jing Emperor and was the mother of the Third Prince. If the Third Prince had the opportunity to become the Crown Prince, Ji Yan might have a chance to become the Empress Dowager!
However, Ji Yan was dead.
What's more, she died within the Ji Family Manor!
This...
The situation suddenly became grave.
"Let me try..."
"I want to see who dares to harm the Imperial Concubine within our Ji Family!"
The Grand Elder of the Ji Family hurried out. His ancient face was extremely wrinkled, and his skin was like withered wood. His brow, filled with divine energy, released a terrifying power that shook the heavens and earth. Countless divine energies gathered behind him, forming a withered face that seemed to cry out in agony.
The withered face opened its mouth, emitting a shrill and miserable howl.
Countless divine energies intertwined, forming a picture, as if time was being rewound.
However...
The rewinding attempt failed, and the picture that had just formed crumbled into pieces!
"The three souls and seven phantoms are missing... Unable to trace through the divine energy."
"The perpetrator is extremely sinister, with rich killing experience and terrifying strength."
"Notify the Temple Guarding Office, let them investigate."
"Also, send a message to the First City and the Third Prince."
The Grand Elder's voice, hoarse and raspy, echoed within the room.
Then, his words trailed off, and the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Ji Qingchuan's face turned slightly red.
A guess formed in their minds.
Ji Yan's last encounter was with the suspected perpetrator.
And the last person Ji Gui Fei met was...
The Pacifying King...
Ji Maoli!
Could it be that Ji Maoli... killed Ji Gui Fei?!
...
...
Li Che returned to his room in the Heavenly Yuan Academy.
The room was quiet, with a gentle breeze blowing, neither arrogant nor impatient.
His essence and blood surged, washing away the bloody smell from his body. Wearing the Niu Mo Mask, Li Che's towering figure sat like a towering mountain. Every muscle twitched, emitting a thunderous sound.
"The Wangu Family's territory is indeed more formidable than the Su Family's land in Heavenly Origin City. At least every corner has Divine Falcon Formations, arranged into arrays. Although my Sleeping Dragon Elephant Concealment Technique is powerful, infiltrating a residence with Divine Falcon Formations in every corner is not an easy task."
"Fortunately, I left behind the Thunderbolt Chess Piece, which allowed me to bypass these Divine Falcon Formations and appear directly in the Ji Family Manor."
Li Che stretched his body.
His primary target was Huang Mei at Little Harmony Temple.
However, on the way, Ji Gui Fei unexpectedly appeared, leading to a deadly encounter.
"Besides Ji Gui Fei, there's also Ji Maoli... Ji Maoli is the real threat to Xi Xi."
Li Che's eyes behind the mask suddenly sharpened.
Although Ji Gui Fei also posed a threat, Li Che hadn't initially planned to kill her, even if she wanted to arrange a marriage between Lu Chi and Xi Xi. Li Che didn't intend to take immediate action.
But Ji Gui Fei, influenced by Ji Maoli's bewitchment or command, was about to enter the Imperial Palace Temple in the First City to seek an edict from the Jing Emperor.
In that case, Li Che had no choice but to prevent her from living.
"The Ji Family Manor is so heavily guarded, with Divine Falcon Formations as a backup. What about the Imperial Palace?"
Li Che's eyes flashed.
In fact, on Tai Bai Peak of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, there were also Divine Falcon Formations. However, Li Che and Xi Xi, being members of the Divine Sect, had never sensed them before.
"Using divine energy and Divine Falcons to form arrays..."
"Divine Array Masters are a relatively niche profession. However, compared to the four major professions that rely on divine energy—Divine Pill Masters, Divine Falcon Masters, Divine Armament Masters, and Divine Talisman Masters—Divine Array Masters hold a slightly lower status."
In the heart of Li Che, he pondered, the Divine Array Master... was essentially a new profession that merged the characteristics of the Divine Falcon Master and the Divine Talisman Master.
The effect was there, but Li Che thought it was rather average.
After all, if given some time, with his Divine Falcon Demi-Saint's standards, he could still easily locate the key nodes of the array and then strike and destroy them.
"The Divine Array Master, I heard that the Great Jing Emperor himself is a Divine Array Master, and perhaps even the creator of this profession. It was because of this that he stood out among the many princes and was chosen by the previous Jing Emperor as the Crown Prince."
Li Che recalled the information about the court that the knowledgeable and well-informed Elder Fang Hanshu shared with him during their conversations.
He didn't linger long in the house.
Li Che removed the Niu Mo Mask and put on the Divine Monkey Mask. He then took two scrolls and, with a slight movement of his body, left the house.
Killing Ji Gui Fei was just a side task.
The next target was the truly formidable one.
...
...
Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
Lu Tai Bai sat under the eaves of his house as thin snowflakes danced and drifted down.
His silver hair fluttered, and his wide sleeves billowed in the corridor breeze.
On his forehead, there was a sealed sword scar, so fine that it seemed to have oozed a drop of crimson blood.
He gazed at the sky, his eyes carrying a hint of freedom and ease.
After an internal struggle, Lu Tai Bai had decided to accept the Divine Monkey's invitation, and Hell was determined to kill Yellow Eyebrows...
The reason for calling him was obviously to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely eliminate Yellow Eyebrows.
Yellow Eyebrows' existence had become a direct threat to Xi Xi's safety.
Because Yellow Eyebrows could manipulate the Seven Treasures Sacred Relic Tower to summon the divine energy of the temple deity and stir up the mysterious power hidden within Xi Xi's body...
Although this time Wu Yuan had borrowed this power of the temple deity and was crushed by the mysterious power within Xi Xi's body, one couldn't always rely on luck.
Yellow Eyebrows could fail many times, but Xi Xi... might only have one chance!
Suddenly, Lu Tai Bai's seated figure on the chair paused slightly. He slowly stood up, his wide sleeves billowing behind him, and he squinted, gazing towards the Second City.
There, the defense line of the Second City suddenly erupted with an incredibly powerful aura, an aura that...
Lu Tai Bai was very familiar with it; it belonged to one of the three Grand Governors of the Temple Guarding Office!
He was also the father-in-law of the Great Jing Emperor, the father of Tie Shanchai, and the husband of Tie Shan Gongzhu... Wang Kui!
He was truly one of the top experts in the Temple Guarding Office, and his strength placed him at the pinnacle of Great Jing, also ranking him high on both the Great Deity List and the Heavenly Gate.
In terms of combat power and reputation, he even surpassed Ji Maoli.
