Chapter 397: The Sect Master's Master, Are We Going to Rebel? Opening the Golden Sea of Qi to Ascend
Chapter 397: The Sect Master's Master, Are We Going to Rebel? Opening the Golden Sea of Qi to Ascend the Martial Dao Path [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
The gentle breeze stirred, causing the bamboo raft to bob gently on the water, creating a dazzling display of shimmering waves that spread out.
The calm river surface rippled with tiny ripples, undulating under the sun's rays, resembling a river of scattered gold.
Li Che wore the Netherworld King's mask, his black hair fluttering in the breeze, and his black robe swayed with his body, revealing a hint of surprise and joy in his eyes.
He even heaved a slight sigh of relief.
On the bamboo raft sat the long-missed Boss and the Great Black Dog, both in an extremely relaxed posture.
The man and dog sat lazily, floating on the river like a leaf in the vastness of nature, feeling the gentle breeze amidst the vast wilderness.
The Boss was elegant, sitting on a small bamboo chair with his legs crossed, his white robe flowing gracefully, a cigarette between his fingers, and the gray smoke rising like a brushstroke into the air.
T
The Great Black Dog, lying on the bamboo raft, lifted its head with a playful expression.
The Boss took a puff of his cigarette, inhaling deeply, and a dragon-like swirl of smoke emerged from his nostrils before he pinched out the cigarette.
The bamboo raft drifted along the river, slowly reaching Li Che's front and came to a stop.
Li Che, not one to be polite, stepped onto the raft.
The Boss took out some cigarette paper and used a pair of tweezers to pick up some tobacco, rolled it into a cigarette, and handed it to Li Che.
Li Che extended a finger and pushed the black and white Netherworld King's mask onto his head, wearing it like a hat.
He then took the cigarette, and the worry in his heart dissipated completely.
"Long time no see, Boss."
Li Che said with a smile.
On the way to the Divine Capital, Li Che remembered how the Boss and the Great Black Dog had helped to defeat a Vassal Dragon King from the Dragon God lineage on the Grand Canal.
The Vassal Dragon King was a top-tier existence, possessing formidable strength.
Of course, Li Che wasn't worried about the Boss and the Great Black Dog's ability to handle the situation.
After dealing with the Vassal Dragon King, Li Che had assumed the Boss would open a restaurant in the Divine Capital, but he hadn't expected to not find the restaurant in the city.
After searching several times, Li Che confirmed that the Boss hadn't opened a restaurant in the Divine Capital.
Hence, Li Che was a bit concerned.
He worried that the Boss and the Great Black Dog might have attracted some unwanted trouble due to their involvement.
Li Che remembered the Great Black Dog's help in defeating the Golden Heavenly King Pagoda Temple Deity and the potential terrifying power it might have unleashed.
With the Boss and the Great Black Dog missing for so long, Li Che couldn't help but think about them.
After all, they were old friends who had accompanied him from Jin Guang City.
"It's been a while. How's Xi Xi doing?"
The Boss took another puff of the cigarette but didn't light it, just holding it in his mouth.
The two of them chatted casually, with Li Che occasionally interjecting and the Boss mostly inquiring about Xi Xi's situation.
Li Che shared Xi Xi's experiences in the Divine Capital, and a hint of a smile curved the Boss's lips.
The dog on the ground perked up its ears, eavesdropping on the conversation about Xi Xi.
However, Li Che noticed the dog seemed tired, as if it had overexerted itself.
Considering the Boss and the dog's prolonged absence, they must have been doing something Li Che wasn't aware of.
Thus, he didn't ask further.
Regarding the Boss and the dog's background, Li Che still had no clues, but it was evident that their strength was formidable.
Now it seemed they were at least at the Divine Tribulation realm.
Perhaps...
Far surpassing the Divine Tribulation!
Because, while the bamboo raft floated on the Grand Canal, the Grand Guardian hadn't noticed them at all.
With the Grand Guardian's cultivation, if he had spotted the Boss and the dog, he wouldn't have remained indifferent.
The stronger the existence, the more their aura and physical body would instinctively react to the presence of another powerful being, indicating that they weren't truly indifferent.
It's impossible to treat them like air.
In other words, the Grand Guardian likely hadn't noticed the presence of the Boss and the dog.
This was a bit frightening.
It suggested that the Boss and the dog might possess an extremely advanced ability to conceal their aura.
Of course, it's also possible that the Boss and the dog's cultivation was no less than the Grand Guardian's, allowing them to evade detection.
With his full power unleashed, even a top-tier expert would fall!
Thus, he was no longer ordinary.
The bond with his daughter made him extraordinary, and being extraordinary, how could he settle for mediocrity? Li Che's pursuit was indeed the simple life of a family man.
But now, without sufficient strength as a guarantee, the leisurely days of family life wouldn't last long, and it would all be shattered, even... forever.
"The old man was right."
As Li Che fell into deep thought, the Boss spoke up.
"You must stand at the pinnacle of the Three Realms to earn the right to protect Xi Xi."
The Boss said calmly.
His voice, as always, was cold, never as passionate as his culinary skills.
"I understand," Li Che replied.
"You can't even beat a dog now." The Boss added, his voice still calm.
Li Che: "..."
The black dog glanced sideways, its mouth curled in a mocking laugh, revealing sharp, gleaming teeth.
Li Che couldn't refute; with the eruption of the Seven Mystic Seeds Martial Arts, combined with the Dao Guiding Lion Elephant Fusion and Heaven Overcomer Domain, he could kill a top-tier expert like the Azure Dragon.
However, facing a Half-step Divine Tribulation like Ji Moling, who had refined the Netherworld Fire and the Three Tribulation Forces, it would be extremely difficult, and he would be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Li Che had never been arrogant.
Because he couldn't even beat a dog.
It was unbearable.
Li Che spat.
Splash! Splash!
The lonely boat gently floated along the Grand Canal, its speed gradually increasing without notice. The banks on either side were lined with green mountains, and the scenery flew by like a stream of light.
Whoosh!
The wind and waves brushed past quickly, and Li Che's mind relaxed like never before. After stepping into the Divine Capital, his tense nerves slowly unwound.
"Boss, it's been a while since I've eaten your cooking..."
Li Che glanced at the Boss and spoke.
The Boss tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if laughing softly.
Then, the dog stood up, its paw slamming into the Grand Canal with a mighty blow!
Boom!
In an instant, the water exploded, and the next moment, a huge fish, as large as a yellow ox, burst out, its scales shimmering with a radiant glow!
The powerful demonic energy and surging blood essence revealed a formidable beast comparable to a top-tier Grand Master with three flowers at the peak.
The fat fish roared, opening its mouth to reveal sharp teeth.
Then, it was smacked by the dog, knocking it unconscious.
During its fall, the dog calmly presented the fish, expertly gutted and cleaned.
After the fish was cleaned, the Boss produced a green bamboo stick from somewhere and skewered the fish, securing it on the bamboo raft.
Beneath the fish, a fire started to burn.
The bamboo raft glided swiftly along the Grand Canal, like a lightning bolt.
The rich aroma, uncontrollable, wafted through the air, enveloping Li Che's nose and mouth.
After savoring the top-tier Grand Master-level beast, Li Che almost swallowed his tongue in delight.
It was so delicious!
Compared to the food at the Peach Feast, prepared by chefs from the Seven Treasures Sect, these were mere dog food!
With the Boss's simple cooking, even the most ordinary ingredients burst with unimaginable flavors.
"Next time, I'll bring Xi Xi to enjoy my cooking. She hasn't had it in a while."
The Boss spoke calmly.
Li Che and the dog burped simultaneously.
"No problem," Li Che smiled.
"After returning to Primordial Vortex City, I'll take Xi Xi to enjoy your cooking."
However, the Boss glanced at him.
"The next restaurant will be in Heaven-Defying City. Come and find me there."
The Boss shook his head, speaking calmly.
Li Che, holding a fish bone to pick his teeth, froze, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
"Heaven-Defying City?!"
"The old man was right. You can go to Heaven-Defying City, not just for the people of the Central Continent, but also for Xi Xi. It's a journey you should take."
"The revival of the Heaven-Defying Temple can be like the Third Prince, leaving a mark to help Xi Xi suppress the curse of the Prison Lotus Fire. It shouldn't be a problem for her to overcome the Divine Tribulation."
The Boss's words made Li Che's eyes light up.
"Great!"
Li Che didn't doubt the Boss's words.
Since the Boss said it was possible, it definitely was. Li Che didn't know why, but he trusted the Boss.
"Okay... we're here."
"See you in Heaven-Defying City. I'll prepare a special dish for Xi Xi."
The Boss chuckled softly.
Then, a splash.
Li Che was sent off the bamboo raft by a powerful force, standing on the gently rippling water.
The world had completely darkened, and no one knew when.
The starry sky above, and the bamboo raft with a single orange-yellow lamp, illuminated a white-clad figure and the black dog.
The bamboo raft gently rocked.
Unnoticed, it drifted into the depths of darkness, leaving no trace.
Li Che withdrew his gaze, and as he looked ahead, he was slightly startled.
Unbeknownst to him, the bamboo raft he was riding had already returned to the vicinity of Primordial Vortex City.
Such incredible speed!
A distance of several thousand li, like time silently slipping away, was covered in just half a day.
Li Che spat.
Open a restaurant in Heaven-Defying City? Although he didn't know why the Boss would go there...
But since the Boss said he had prepared a special delicacy, he should definitely take Xi Xi to taste it.
Of course, more importantly, the revival of the Heaven-Defying Temple could suppress the curse of the Prison Lotus Fire within Xi Xi.
He tapped his foot on the water's surface.
Instantly, the calm water surged with violent waves.
Li Che put the Netherworld King Mask back on.
The next moment, his entire body soared into the sky.
His eyebrows trembled, and the Heaven-Earth Chessboard rose into the air with a boom.
A torrent of black qi surged upwards, and ink-colored rain poured down, splashing everywhere.
Ink City Fengdu appeared on the Heaven-Earth Chessboard.
Li Che transformed into the Netherworld King, and with his five fingers clenched, his entire body appeared on the city walls of Ink City.
Boom!
Ink City landed on the bank of the Grand Canal.
The city gates opened with a bang.
The people of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect suddenly emerged from Ink City Fengdu.
Xi Xi followed Zhang Ya, protected by Lu Tai Bai, as they left the city. Li Che's Immortal in Painting clone wore the Executioner mask and did not leave the city.
Everyone turned back to look at Ink City.
They saw the majestic city standing tall on the ground, and on the city walls, several figures stood, including the Netherworld King, Ox Demon, Executioner, Divine Monkey, Thunder Dragon, and Yama's Two Messengers...
The Netherworld fugitives stood in various postures on the city walls.
Mysterious, unpredictable, powerful, and strange...
Lu Tai Bai's eyes glistened.
Such a Netherworld had actually brought them out of Divine Capital!
Buzz—
Amidst the exclamations, Ink City seemed to turn into thick ink smoke, exploding and then completely disappearing.
The mysterious Netherworld vanished in an extremely mysterious manner from everyone's sight.
Even Lu Tai Bai, at this moment, couldn't help but slowly 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 see the various teachers of the Netherworld again?"
"Teacher Niu Niu, Teacher Divine Monkey, Teacher Thunder Dragon... Yama's Two Messengers... Teacher Netherworld King..."
Xi Xi counted on her fingers, one by one.
Zhang Ya rubbed Xi Xi's head.
However, Xi Xi's sentimentality was soon interrupted by exclamations.
Second Elder Zhao Fang Zhou looked around with great shock.
"Sect Master!"
"We... have we returned to Primordial Vortex City?!"
Lu Tai Bai was startled at this moment, his soul manifesting, he looked around and couldn't help but be stunned.
"So fast!"
He muttered to himself.
Then, a fierce look appeared in Lu Tai Bai's eyes.
"Let's go, quickly return to the sect!"
"We have completely fallen out with the Great Jing court, and the means of that Great Jing National Monk, Xie Yunsen, will undoubtedly become even more thunderous and fierce!"
"We should prepare for the Great Jing court's army, intending to trample upon the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect!"
"Quickly return and discuss with the Great Elder, taking control of the city as fast as possible!"
Xi Xi, holding Zhang Ya's hand, lit up, and she couldn't help but puff out her little belly.
"Sect Master Teacher!"
"Are we going to rebel?"
...
...
Screech, screech—
Outside Divine Capital.
Thunder followed the wind, and heavy rain poured down, with pea-sized raindrops hitting the ground and shattering.
Perhaps due to the presence of the Grand Guardian, a formidable Divine Tribulation Cultivator descended upon the world, attracting calamitous turmoil.
Thus, the falling rain carried a hint of terrifying tribulation pressure, and even Grand Masters only felt their internal blood and qi circulation becoming extremely difficult.
Nie Yang held Li Chengzhou, while Li Qing Shan carried Mu Po on his back, their blood and qi circulating, holding back the rain to prevent it from affecting Mu Po.
Clap, clap, clap—
The muddy ground was trampled, and the splashing mud flew upwards.
The four of them fled at an extremely fast speed.
They didn't complain about the Netherworld King not taking them along, after all, they were also members of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
However, they had no relationship with the Netherworld King, so why should he take them? They weren't without legs, right?
The situation at that time was extremely urgent, and the Netherworld King was able to take the people of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect away, which was already very good.
