Chapter 397: Sect Master, Master, Are We Going to Rebel? Opening the Ten Thousand Foot Golden Pool Mountain Path (Part 1)
Whoosh, whoosh.
The gentle breeze blew, causing the bamboo raft to drift on the water, creating a dazzling ripple that spread out.
The calm river surface was stirred with ripples, undulating under the sunlight, like countless golden fragments shimmering on the water.
Li Che wore the King of Hell mask, his black hair flying in the breeze, his black robe swaying with his body, and his eyes revealing a hint of surprise and joy.
He even heaved a slight sigh of relief in his heart.
On the bamboo raft, sitting upright were the long-awaited Boss and the long-awaited Big Black Dog.
The man and the dog, in an extremely leisurely posture, sat on the river, gently rocking the raft, like a floating leaf in the vast wilderness, feeling the refreshing breeze.
The Boss was very elegant, sitting on a small bamboo chair, with his legs crossed, his white clothes fluttering, and a cigarette held between his fingers. The gray smoke rose like a straight line, curling upwards.
The breeze brushed the two strands of hair hanging over his forehead, and the Boss looked at Li Che, his face expressionless as he nodded slightly.
The Big Black Dog, lying on the bamboo raft, raised its head with a start.
The Boss took a deep drag of the cigarette, and from his nostrils, he exhaled two streams of smoke that coiled like dragons, then pinched out the cigarette.
The bamboo raft drifted along the river, slowly approaching Li Che and coming to a stop in front of him.
Li Che didn't hesitate and stepped onto the bamboo raft.
The Boss took out some cigarette paper and used tweezers to pick a bit of tobacco from a pouch, rolled it up, and handed it to Li Che.
Li Che extended a finger and pushed the black and white divided King of Hell mask onto the top of his head, wearing it like a hat.
Then he took the cigarette, and a huge weight lifted from his heart.
"It's been a long time, Boss," Li Che said with a smile.
On his way to the Divine Capital, Li Che still remembered how the Boss and the Big Black Dog had helped on the Grand Canal, defeating a Venerable Dragon King from the Dragon God lineage.
The Venerable Dragon King was a top-tier existence, with formidable strength.
Of course, Li Che wasn't worried about the Boss and the Big Black Dog's ability to handle the situation.
After dealing with the Venerable Dragon King, Li Che had thought the Boss would open a restaurant in the Divine Capital, but to his surprise, he couldn't find any restaurant owned by the Boss.
So Li Che became a bit concerned.
He was worried that the Boss and the Big Black Dog might have attracted some unclean forces due to their actions.
Li Che still remembered the terrifying power that the Big Black Dog had unleashed when he helped to defeat the Temple Deity of the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda.
The Boss and the Big Black Dog had been missing for so long that Li Che couldn't help but worry about them.
After all, they were old friends from the Golden Glow City.
"It has been a while. How is Xi Xi doing?" the Boss asked, taking another cigarette but not lighting it, just holding it in his mouth.
The two of them chatted, exchanging a few words here and there.
However, they didn't talk much, with Li Che speaking only occasionally, and the Boss mostly inquiring about Xi Xi's situation.
Li Che briefly explained what Xi Xi had been up to in the Divine Capital.
A slight smile appeared on the Boss's lips, and the female}} being female.
The dog on the ground perked up its ears, eavesdropping on the conversation about Xi Xi.
Li Che noticed that the dog seemed a bit tired, as if it had been overworked.
Considering that the Boss and the dog had been missing for so long, they must have been up to something unknown to Li Che.
So, he didn't ask further.
Li Che still had no clue about the Boss and the dog's background, but he could guess that their strength was undoubtedly formidable.
Now, it seemed that they were at least at the Divine Tribulation Realm.
Perhaps...
Far surpassing the Divine Tribulation Realm!
Because when the bamboo raft was floating on the Grand Canal, the Grand Supervisor hadn't noticed their presence during his conversation with Li Che.
With the Grand Supervisor's cultivation, if he had detected the Boss and the dog, he wouldn't have remained unmoved.
The stronger the existence, the more likely it is to react to another powerful being, even if it's not consciously aware.
It's impossible to truly treat them like air.
In other words, the Grand Supervisor probably hadn't sensed the presence of the Boss and the dog.
This was a bit scary.
It suggested that the Boss and the dog might possess an extremely advanced breath-concealing ability.
Of course, it was also possible that the Boss and the dog's cultivation was not weak and might even surpass the Grand Supervisor's Divine Tribulation Realm, which was why the Grand Supervisor couldn't detect their presence.
Li Che took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
Because even such powerful beings as the Boss and the Big Black Dog seemed to have some reservations.
How terrifying would the existence that made them cautious be? Could that existence threaten Xi Xi?
And where did the existence that could threaten the Boss and the Big Black Dog come from?
The human realm? The Enigma Tower? Or... the Netherworld?!
The three realms mentioned by the Grand Supervisor?
"Huff," Li Che exhaled a puff of smoke, and his mind gradually calmed down.
Perhaps the Grand Supervisor was right.
He should strive to become stronger, standing at the pinnacle of the three realms.
It might be difficult, but he should try, at least to protect his wife and daughter.
If he, Li Che, were an ordinary person, he might not be able to achieve it even with all his efforts.
But now, he was no longer the woodcarving delivery boy from Flying Thunder City, struggling to earn a few copper coins.
He had mastered the Dao Fruit and even reached the LV6 rank.
With full power unleashed, even the peak of the apex can be slain!
Thus, he was no longer an ordinary man.
The bond between him and his daughter made him extraordinary. Since he was already extraordinary, how could he be content with sinking into obscurity?
What Li Che truly sought was a peaceful life with his wife and children.
But now, if he lacked the necessary strength, the tranquil days of such a life would not last long before they were utterly destroyed, even to the point of no return.
"The old man's words just now were correct."
Just as Li Che was lost in thought, the Boss spoke up.
"You indeed need to stand at the pinnacle of the Three Realms to earn the right to protect Xi Xi..."
The Boss said this matter-of-factly.
His voice, as always, was cold and distant, never as passionate as his culinary skills.
"I understand," Li Che replied.
"You can't even beat Doggy," the Boss added, his tone still indifferent.
Li Che: "..."
The Big Black Dog gave him a sidelong glance, its mouth curling up in a mocking smile, revealing sharp, gleaming teeth.
Li Che couldn't refute it. Although he could unleash the power of seven divine seeds and combine it with the Dao Guidance Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace and the Heaven Surpassing Domain to defeat a peak like the Azure Dragon, he would struggle against someone like Ji Mo Li, who had refined the Nether Flame and other forces of the Three Calamities, a half-step divine tribulation cultivator.
Thus, Li Che had never been arrogant.
Because he couldn't even beat a dog.
It was a tough situation.
Li Che exhaled.
Rustle, rustle...
The small boat gently drifted, following the Grand Canal, its speed gradually increasing. The green mountains on both banks seemed to flash by like flowing light.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The wind and waves quickly swept by, and Li Che felt a unprecedented sense of relaxation. His nerves, which had been taut since entering the Divine Capital, slowly began to unwind.
"Boss, it's been a long time since I've tasted your cooking..."
Li Che glanced at the Boss and said.
The Boss's lips twitched slightly, as if he had smiled.
Then, Doggy perked up, and with a swift slap of its paw, it struck the Grand Canal!
Bang—!!!
The water exploded, and the next moment, a massive, fat fish, as large as a yellow ox, burst out, its scales shimmering in the light!
A powerful aura and blood qi surged, revealing a formidable beast that rivaled a peak Three Flowers Grandmaster!
The fat fish roared, baring a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Then, it was knocked unconscious by a single slap from Doggy.
As it fell, Doggy casually extended its dexterous paw, beginning to skillfully gut and prepare the fish...
After the preparation, the Boss took out a green bamboo stick from somewhere, skewering the prepared fish and securing it to the bamboo raft.
Beneath the fish, a flame began to burn.
The bamboo raft sped along the Grand Canal, like a flash of lightning.
The rich aroma wafted uncontrollably, lingering around Li Che's nose and mouth.
After tasting the feast of a top-tier grandmaster-level beast, Li Che felt as if he had almost swallowed his tongue.
It was too delicious!
In comparison, the dishes cooked by the imperial chefs at the Peach Feast were like food fed to dogs!
Simple ingredients, under the Boss's simple cooking, burst with unimaginable deliciousness.
"Next time, I'll bring Xi Xi to the restaurant. She hasn't had your cooking in a long time."
The Boss said this calmly.
Li Che and Doggy both burped simultaneously.
"No problem," Li Che smiled.
"Once we return to Qianyuan Dao City, I'll bring Xi Xi to freeload."
However, the Boss glanced at him.
"The next restaurant will be in Heaven-reaching City. Come find me and Doggy in Heaven-reaching City."
The Boss shook his head and said this calmly.
Li Che's action of picking his teeth with a fish bone froze, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Heaven-reaching City?!"
"That old man was right. You should visit Heaven-reaching City... not for the sake of the Central Plains people, but for Xi Xi. It's worth the trip."
"The Temple Deity in Heaven-reaching City can leave a trace of divine will, like the Third Prince, to help Xi Xi suppress the curse of the Hell Lotus Fire, allowing her to pass the divine embryo tribulation without issue."
The Boss's words made Li Che's eyes brighten.
"Alright!"
Li Che didn't doubt the Boss's words.
If the Boss said it was possible, it definitely was. Li Che didn't know where this trust came from.
"Alright... we're here."
"See you in Heaven-reaching City. I'll prepare a special dish for Xi Xi. I'm waiting for her."
The Boss chuckled softly.
Then, with a splash,
Li Che was sent off the bamboo raft, standing on the rippling surface of the Grand Canal.
The sky had turned completely dark at some point.
The stars in the sky were turning, and a green lantern hung from the bamboo raft, casting a warm, orange light on the white-clad figure and the Big Black Dog.
The bamboo raft gently swayed, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
Li Che retracted his gaze and looked around, slightly stunned.
Unconsciously, he had already returned to the area of Qianyuan Dao City on the Boss's bamboo raft.
What incredible speed!
A distance of thousands of miles, like time passing silently, was covered in just half a day.
Li Che exhaled.
A restaurant in Heaven-reaching City?
Although he didn't know why the Boss would open a restaurant in Heaven-reaching City...
Since the Boss said he would prepare a special dish for Xi Xi, he should bring her to try it.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Temple Deity in Heaven-reaching City could suppress the curse of the Hell Lotus Fire in Xi Xi's body.
His toes touched the river's surface.
Instantly, the calm river erupted into a tumultuous wave.
Li Che put on the King of Hell mask again.
The next moment, the entire person soared into the sky.
The center of his eyebrows trembled, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard rose into the sky with a rumble.
A torrent of black qi surged and rose, and the ink-colored rain poured down like a drizzle.
Ink City Netherworld appeared, floating above the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Li Che transformed into the King of Hell, and with a five-fingered grip, the entire person appeared on the city's tower.
Boom—
Ink City landed on the shore of the Grand Canal.
The city gates opened with a rumble.
The crowd from Quanyuan Divine Sect, one after another, stepped out of Ink City Netherworld.
Xi Xi followed Zhang Ya, protected by Lu Taibai, and together they left the city, but Li Che's painting's fairy clone wore a Faceless Judge mask and did not leave the city.
The crowd turned back and looked towards Ink City.
They saw the majestic city standing tall on the earth, and on the tower, several figures stood, including the King of Hell, Ox Demon, Faceless Judge, Divine Monkey, Thunder Dragon, and the Black and White Impermanence...
Mysterious, unpredictable, and powerful...
Lu Taibai's eyes shone with a glimmer.
Such a Netherworld, actually bringing them out of the Divine Capital!
Hum—
In the midst of exclamations.
Ink City seemed to transform into thick ink smoke, which then completely disappeared.
The mysterious Netherworld, in an extremely mysterious manner, vanished from everyone's sight.
Even Lu Taibai, at this moment, couldn't help but exhale.
Xi Xi held Zhang Ya's hand, her eyes filled with excitement, joy, and a hint of reluctance!
"When will Daddy take Xi Xi to meet all the masters of the Netherworld again?"
"Ox Demon master, Divine Monkey master, Thunder Dragon master... Black and White Impermanence masters... King of Hell master..."
Xi Xi counted on her fingers, one by one.
Zhang Ya rubbed Xi Xi's head.
However, soon, Xi Xi's sentiment was soon interrupted by exclamations.
Then, the Second Elder Zhao Fangzhou, looking extremely shocked, gazed around.
"Sect Master!"
"We... We're back at Quanyuan Dao City?!"
Lu Taibai was startled at this moment, and the Heaven and Earth Soul appeared, scanning the surroundings, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"So fast!"
He muttered to himself.
Subsequently, a fierce look appeared in Lu Taibai's eyes.
"Let's go, quickly return to the Sect!"
"We have completely turned against the Jing Court, and that Jing Court Grand Master Xie Yunshen's means will undoubtedly become even more thunderous and fierce!"
"We should prepare for the Jing Court's army, intending to trample Quanyuan Divine Sect!"
"Quickly return and discuss with the Second Elder, controlling the Dao City with the fastest speed!
