Chapter 360: Gathering Four Supreme Beings to Break the Strange Temple, Black Vajra's Pure Crystal T
Chapter 360: Gathering Four Supreme Beings to Break the Strange Temple, Black Vajra's Pure Crystal Three-Body Divine Tribulation (Part 2)
In other words...
At this very moment, within Ink City, in the Netherworld Capital...
There were three top-tier experts!
Among them was the Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage, a dual-ranked expert!
Aggrieved...
Han Si xi gritted his teeth.
Don't bully the eunuchs like this!
...
...
Crackle, crackle!
Thunder rumbled amidst countless raindrops, and a dragon seemed to roll within.
The Second City of the Divine Capital.
An extremely luxurious carriage shattered the heavy spring rain as it sped along the official road, pulled by two Dragon Horses, dragging a large and spacious carriage frame. The carriage wheels crushed the accumulated water on the ground, creating triangular ripples.
After a moment, the luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Ji family mansion.
The curtain was lifted, and the Third Prince changed out of his pale yellow python robe, putting on a plain white garment instead. On his arm, he tied a black cloth, and the entire Ji family mansion was filled with white cloth, fluttering in the wind.
Inside the Ji family mansion, someone hurried to greet the Third Prince.
The Ji family, an ancient clan with a long history, was as powerful as any major sect. According to rumors, ancient clans had an ancestral founder who watched over them.
As long as the ancestral founder lived, the ancient clan would not fall.
There were only three ancient clans in the entire Divine Capital, and the Hong family was once an ancient clan, but unfortunately, after the news of the ancestral founder's fall during the Divine Tribulation spread, the Hong family had no one to succeed them, and they slowly declined.
To maintain the reputation of an ancient clan, they had no choice but to leave the Divine Capital and move to another Dao City.
The head of the Ji family, Ji Qingchuan, accompanied the Third Prince on a stroll through the garden, where white cloth hung everywhere, fluttering in the wind.
"Your Highness... Thank you for your trust in the Ji family. The death of the Imperial Consort has nothing to do with us."
Ji Qingchuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, his face showing signs of worry and grief.
"It's not easy for our Ji family to produce an Imperial Consort. How could we possibly kill her? Our entire Ji family supports the Imperial Consort, and we hope that after she becomes the Empress Dowager, she will bring some benefits to our Ji family."
Ji Qingchuan continued to complain and actively disassociate himself from the matter.
The Third Prince, after all, shared the bloodline of the Ji family, and if possible, Ji Qingchuan would naturally support the Third Prince, who had the best chance.
"Rest assured, Your Highness... I believe in the Ji family."
The Third Prince's face showed a look of sorrow.
"I have the blood of the Ji family in my veins, and we are truly relatives. The Ji family is my eternal support..."
"I personally sought an audience with the Grand Inspector to find out who killed my mother... I even presented the Heavenly Foretelling Token!"
The Third Prince stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the garden, drenched by the spring rain, creating a poetic and picturesque scene.
He slowly exhaled a breath.
Ji Qingchuan's heart, however, was shaken. He suddenly looked at the Third Prince. "Heaven Foretelling Token?"
"The Heaven Foretelling Token, which the Grand Inspector presents to each prince on their first birthday?"
As the head of the Ji Family, how could Ji Qingchuan not be aware of the significance of the Heaven Foretelling Token?
It was something that could buy a chance for the Grand Inspector to perform a divination and calculation.
Even the heads of ancient families like theirs would find it impossible to ask the Grand Inspector to act, requiring the Grand Inspector's mood to be in their favor.
But if a prince were to present the Heaven Foretelling Token, it would be equivalent to exhausting the causal relationship with the Grand Inspector, spending a favor.
"Yes... How could I bear to see my mother die unjustly?"
"Mother gave me life, my blood, and my flesh. How could I sit idly by and watch her die full of grievances!"
The Third Prince, Lu Litiang, said solemnly.
Ji Qingchuan felt a slight warmth in his heart. He knew that by presenting the Heaven Foretelling Token and asking the Grand Inspector to act, the Third Prince was not only setting himself up as a filial son but also aiming to ease the relationship with the Ji Family.
After all, if the true culprit was identified and it was clear that the person who killed Ji Gui Fei had nothing to do with the Ji Family, that would clear the Ji Family's name, and the Third Prince could continue to rely on the Ji Family's support and gain their backing.
The support of a major ancient family—how could the Third Prince afford to miss or give it up?
"Your Highness... Do you know who killed the Noble Consort? Was it Ji Maoli?"
Ji Qingchuan bowed and asked solemnly. He was desperate to know the outcome.
Ji Maoli was the last person to see Ji Gui Fei, and the scene left traces of the divine martial art "Myriad Dragons Subduing the Divine," which Ji Maoli was most skilled in.
So, Ji Qingchuan truly wanted to know if it was Ji Maoli's doing.
"No!"
"It has nothing to do with the Duke of Pacification!" Lu Litiang shook his head.
"The result of the Grand Inspector's divination..."
"The one who killed Mother... is the Bull Demon from the Netherworld!"
The Third Prince looked at Ji Qingchuan and asked solemnly.
"Netherworld? Bull Demon?"
Ji Qingchuan was stunned, his face showing a look of confusion.
Why would Ji Gui Fei be killed by the Netherworld?
The Third Prince recounted the intelligence he had gathered, the reasoning process, and the conclusions he had drawn to Ji Qingchuan.
After listening, Ji Qingchuan's expression grew increasingly grim!
"Your Highness means... the great elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, the half-saint who just passed the Elite Guest Scholar Examination at the Heaven Foretelling Bureau, Li Che... might be the Bull Demon? The true murderer of Ji Gui Fei?!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Qingchuan's eyes.
"Just because... Ji Gui Fei brought Prince Lu Chi, wanting to arrange a marriage between Li Che’s daughter and Lu Chi, Li Che transformed into the Bull Demon, using the power of the Netherworld to kill Ji Gui Fei?"
"How can there be such a vicious and evil person in this world!"
Ji Qingchuan said solemnly.
"If Your Highness truly confirms that Li Che is the Bull Demon, then even if the Ji Family risks losing face and offending the Heaven Foretelling Bureau and the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, we will seek justice for the Noble Consort!"
Ji Qingchuan clenched his fists, his killing intent rising.
The Third Prince slowly sat down on the intricately carved stone chair, sipping a warm, heat-driving tea served by a slender tea server from the Ji Family.
"It will be confirmed soon."
"I sent Han Si xi with the divine seal obtained from the Grand Inspector's divination to verify."
"The Bull Demon has the Heavenly Providence Dao Essence born from the Grand Inspector's divination. Once it encounters the divine seal from the Grand Inspector's divination, it will produce an attraction."
The Third Prince was very confident, firmly believing in his own reasoning.
Sending Han Si xi to verify was merely to confirm his deduction.
Suddenly.
A black shadow seemed to surge rapidly from outside the garden.
Gradually, under the dim light illuminating the sloping foundation in front of the Third Prince, a figure began to twist and grow.
It was none other than the palace's famous Purple-cloaked Han Si xi!
The top-ranked absolute peak at the Heavenly Gate Pass's fifteenth position!
"Han Si xi, you're back!"
A radiant smile appeared on the Third Prince's face.
Ji Qingchuan's gaze also fell on this famous Purple-cloaked Han Si xi from the palace.
Being ranked fifteenth at the Heavenly Gate Pass in the Grand Inspector's divination naturally meant he was no weakling.
Such a person, Ji Qingchuan did not dare to be disrespectful.
Gradually—
The black shadow dispersed, coalescing into the form of Han Si xi. His hair was neatly combed, though old, his back was straight, and he looked very spirited.
As soon as Han Si xi appeared, he lowered his head, and four divine seals from the Grand Inspector's divination appeared between his fingers.
"Han Si xi, is Li Che... the Bull Demon?!"
The Third Prince's eyes were intense.
He was very confident in his judgment!
All the signs indicated that the probability of Li Che being the Bull Demon was as high as ninety percent.
However...
Han Si xi raised his head, a complex look flashing in his eyes. He bowed and shook his head. "Your Highness..."
"I personally infiltrated within a hundred feet of the Heavenly Origin Academy, personally activated the divine seal, and lingered there for about thirty breaths. I immediately fled when I was discovered by Lu Tai Bai..."
"The Grand Inspector’s divine seal showed no reaction at all!"
"Li Che... is not the Bull Demon of the Netherworld."
"The Bull Demon of the Netherworld is someone else!"
Han Si xi said seriously.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Third Prince's expression changed dramatically. "Impossible!"
"Your Highness, you can trust me. I and Your Highness share the same fate, for better or worse... How could I deceive you?"
"I solemnly swear upon my own words, if there is even a hint of falsehood, may the heavens strike me with five thunderbolts, and may I never find peace in death!" Han Si Xi straightened his back, standing tall and proud, his three fingers raised in a solemn gesture.
The Third Prince was taken aback by Han Si Xi's posture and the seriousness in his tone.
"There's no need for such a dire oath, Your Highness. I have watched you grow up, and you know I am the one you trust the most..." Han Si Xi's voice trailed off, his loyalty unwavering.
"I trust you the most!"

The sound of shattering filled the air, and the ground beneath them crumbled, turning the entire Ash City into a complete ruin.
In the center of the wreckage, Han Si Xi, a top-tier martial expert, had his head severed by an incredibly sharp axe. The force was so powerful that his head exploded into pieces.
Li Che removed the Bull Demon's head, and his black, robust hair danced in the wind.
His body's tendons and bones emitted a loud cracking sound as they burst, and black rain fell from the sky, striking the ruined stones of Ash City. The rain seemed to merge with the essence of the deceased cultivators within the Netherworld Capital, transforming into a force that repaired the city.
Li Che's eyes slowly revealed a flowing light, gradually appearing before him.
[Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit: Level 6, 30%]
The fruit's understanding increased from 20% to 30%!
The boost from killing Han Si Xi was indeed significant!
Li Che's understanding of the fruit further increased by 10%, and this was excellent news for him.
Glancing at Han Si Xi's body, Li Che smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation. The Divine Capital Mystic Guards surrounding them sighed, knowing that the opportunity to consume a top-tier Mystic Guard had slipped through their fingers. Especially Huang Jian Jiu, You Li Qing, and Su Lei Bao, who had reached the peak of the Martial Saint realm, if they could have devoured a top-tier Mystic Guard, they might have had a chance to break through to the third level of the Martial Saint realm.
This would have made them even more formidable allies.
Han Si Xi, true to his profession as a eunuch, made his decision swiftly. He chose to submit without hesitation, knowing that it was the only way to survive and continue serving.
He had served the Third Prince, and now he would serve Li Che with the same loyalty.
A eunuch's life was not one of pride, and resistance would only lead to a swift and painful end.
Han Si Xi, a top-tier Mystic Guard, trembled in submission.
---
Li Che's eyes flickered with anticipation.
Including Huang Mei, Han Si Xi, and Yue Huang Long, who had burned away his excess fat, there were three top-tier Mystic Guards in total.
"With this lineup, can we conquer the Strange Temple with the Seven Treasures Relic Golden Bodhimanda in the Divine Capital?" Li Che wondered.
He had not forgotten his primary goal in the Divine Capital. Aside from attending the Peach Blossom Banquet with his team, and obtaining the peach for his wife, he had another crucial mission—to help Xixi eliminate the final Strange Temple with the threat of the Prison Lotus Fire.
The Golden Mansion and the Heavenly Origin City's Golden Dragon Thrones had already been devoured by Li Che.
However, the Strange Temple in the Divine Capital was of the Four Virtues rank...
With three top-tier Mystic Guards, including Li Che himself, a total of four top-tier Mystic Guards, could they conquer this Four Virtues Strange Temple? Li Che was uncertain, but it was worth a try.
His body trembled with anticipation.
Before using the powerful feedback from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit, Li Che decided to open the Qiankun Jade that had been hidden for so long.
He also took the Qiankun Jade from the recently killed top-tier Mystic Guard, Han Si Xi.
Compared to Huang Mei's Qiankun Jade, Han Si Xi's Qiankun Jade was of a lower grade.
Li Che's formidable Heaven Earth Soul directly tore through the seal.
He easily infiltrated the Qiankun Jade.
Martial arts manuals, divine cultivation techniques, and various other resources were piled up, each of different cultivation levels.
But what truly astonished Li Che was the sheer number of divine essence crystals.
"This is too much..."
"A eunuch... so wealthy?"
Li Che's heart raced with excitement.
There were five Four Virtues divine essence crystals, ten Middle Four Virtues divine essence crystals, and over a hundred Lower Four Virtues divine essence crystals.
Additionally, there were various martial pills, including a Four Virtues divine pill, the Dragon Tiger Purple Qi Heaven Pill from the Dragon Tiger God Sect.
Eunuchs could indeed be greedy! Li Che was impressed.
After taking inventory, he suppressed his excitement.
He took out the top-tier Qiankun Jade, and as the Buddhist light shone upon it, seven Buddhist light divine seals emerged.
The sound of cracking filled the air, and if the seals were not arranged correctly, the Qiankun Jade might self-destruct.
Li Che summoned Huang Mei and had him unlock the seven-colored Qiankun Jade.
Huang Mei respectfully complied, and Li Che eagerly immersed his Heaven Earth Soul into the Qiankun Jade.
Hum—!!!
Suddenly, Li Che's expression changed, and he quickly withdrew his consciousness.
Within the Qiankun Jade, three pages were filled with Buddhist light and divine providence, shooting out like three coiling golden dragons.
It was as if three true Buddhas had descended upon the earth.
The Buddhist light shone brightly, filling the space.
