Chapter 483: The Boss, the Mysterious Dao's Holy Manifestation, the Three-Eyed True Lord, and the Lord's Many Bind Deity【Please Vote】 (Part 2)
Many Bind Deity cultivators left Ink City and the Capital of the Netherworld, becoming a powerful force aiding Fang Hanshu in managing Heaven City.
The reconstruction of Heaven-Striking Temple was not just an empty slogan. Fang Hanshu was gathering the martial artists and cultivators who had been intimidated by the forces of the Divine Sects.
Whenever Fang Hanshu needed people, Li Che would summon the Bind Deity cultivators, leaving them at his disposal.
It must be said that scholars have flexible minds. Under his leadership, the outer city of Heaven City gradually regained its vibrancy. Monks who had fled returned, and even refugees from various cities in the Jiangnan Dao region sought refuge in Heaven City.
In the past year, Heaven City had descended into chaos, but under Fang Hanshu's management, order was restored.
As Fang Hanshu rebuilt Heaven-Striking Temple, Li Che generously contributed the resources he had acquired from the Night Bat Demon God, including the temple's heritage, martial arts manuals, and cultivation techniques, which attracted many cultivators to join the temple.
Spring passed, and summer arrived.
In the blink of an eye, three months had gone by, and summer was upon them.
Li Che's family settled down comfortably in Heaven City.
Xi Xi diligently practiced her cultivation, and Zhang Ya joined her daughter in training. Li Che, on the other hand, became quite leisurely, returning to a peaceful and fulfilling life.
Every day, he practiced martial arts, refined his divine energy, carved divine sculptures, studied mechanisms, and more...
It was a fulfilling life.
Of course, what brought him the most joy was spending time with his daughter and wife, savoring the tranquility of the passing days.
Heaven City felt isolated from the outside world, but changes were also occurring beyond its walls.
The chess pieces Li Che had strategically placed in the external world provided him with constant feedback.
Xie Yun, the Divine General, led the imperial expeditionary force in a full-scale assault on the Xuanfu Divine Sect. With Li Che's covert support, the Xuanfu Divine Sect was no match, and its mountain gate was breached.
The Xuanfu Divine Sect of the Qingyun Dao, despite its shady dealings, had its leader, Xuan Jiuzhuan, forced out. However, when Xie Yun's forces broke through the mountain gate, Xuan Jiuzhuan resolutely returned.
Unfortunately, the situation could not be reversed. In this battle, the Xuanfu Patriarch fully revealed his true nature, using all the disciples of the Xuanfu Divine Sect as talismans to create a divine talisman, absorbing their blood essence and gathering it within himself. He then entered the realm of a half-immortal of the first calamity and third tribulation of the Divine Talisman...
Xuan Jiuzhuan, the returning leader, was dumbfounded. The talismans on his body also erupted, and if not for Lu Taibai's intervention, he might have perished on the spot.
Lu Taibai watched coldly, not interfering in the rescue of the Xuanfu Divine Sect.
Firstly, it was uncertain if he could save them. Initially, when the Qianyuan Sect sought help, the Xuanfu Divine Sect ignored them, and Lu Taibai was not one to show mercy.
Secondly, it was already too late to save them.
After Lu Taibai rescued Xuan Jiuzhuan, the entire Xuanfu Divine Sect was left with only the elders and disciples whose talismans had been extracted, their bodies reduced to rotten flesh.
It was a gruesome sight, with blood and qi surging into the sky! Xie Yun shook his feather fan lightly, his expression filled with sorrow.
As for the Xuanfu Patriarch, who had used despicable means to refine the entire sect and ascend to the realm of a half-immortal of the Divine Talisman through evil practices, he let out a long sigh.
Then, he flicked his finger, and a black chess piece shot out, transforming into an unparalleled ferocious beast of the second calamity!
The beast roared, its demonic energy surging into the sky, filled with violence. The will of the mortal realm descended, bringing down a calamitous punishment.
However, the beast didn't care. With a few moves, it slew the Xuanfu Patriarch, and although it was also eradicated by the calamitous power of the mortal realm, it was merely a quick return to the city for the beast.
Thus, the Xuanfu Divine Sect of the Qingyun Dao was defeated.
Xie Yun stood atop the shattered mountain, blood flowing like a river beneath his feet.
He heaved a long sigh.
Standing atop the mountain peak of the Xuanfu Divine Sect, he took out a small cauldron and a gourd, pouring out the water of the Rain Root. After three kowtows and nine prostrations to pay respects to heaven and earth, he inquired about the fate of the rivers and mountains, gathering their fortune!
Then, the fortune of the Qingyun Dao and the Xuanfu Divine Sect converged into the Fortune Gold Lotus!
Eleven fortunes of the Great Jing converged into two.
...
...
Divine Capital.
Second City.
Dong, dong, dong, dong—
The deep resonance of the bell echoed endlessly, its sound waves rippling through the void.
Above the Lotus Pavilion.
A golden lotus quietly bloomed, bathing the entire pavilion in a layer of golden light.
Atop the Imperial Mausoleum Mountain.
Mists swirled, and the rain had ceased.
The Emperor, clad in a bright yellow robe, stood atop the mountain, conversing with a figure shrouded in a black robe amidst the imperial tombs.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The fortune of eleven rivers and mountains has converged into one!"
The black-robed cultivator smiled.
The Emperor's face, shrouded in divine essence and Dao essence, finally revealed a hint of a smile.
"Finally, there's something worth celebrating... National Teacher, you truly are worthy of being my trusted confidant!"
"However, we've only conquered two out of the eleven Divine Sects. It will take some time to gather the twelve-petaled Fortune Gold Lotus..."
The Emperor shook his head lightly.
The black-robed cultivator smiled faintly, "If it succeeds, it won't be a small matter. If Your Majesty holds the twelve-petaled Fortune Gold Lotus and enters the Wiles Pavilion, the Divine Emperor of the Heavenly Court will surely bestow upon you the position of a Divine Immortal, granting you immortality for thirty thousand years!"
The Emperor's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Subsequently, the black-robed cultivator revealed his intention to borrow the Gathering Immortals Flag.
"Your Majesty, you hold the Gathering Immortals Flag and the Earth Flag. The Xuanzhen Supreme from Heaven City has sent me to borrow the flag..."
The black-robed cultivator was a powerful cultivator from the Wiles Pavilion.
The Imperial Mausoleum was built by converting a Wicked Temple, connecting it to the Inner Wiles Pavilion and even located near the thirty-three layers of the Hidden Celestial Palace of the Divine Sects' Heavenly Court.
"Borrowing the Gathering Immortals Flag... is it to deal with the Netherworld Emperor Gui?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's eyes flickered.
"Haven't we received news from Heaven City... The Netherworld Emperor Gui has exhausted his energy and is about to fall? The Chief Astronomer has personally predicted that the Netherworld Emperor Gui's mortal martial arts life is nearing its end..."
"Why does the Xuanzhen Supreme need to borrow the Gathering Immortals Flag? Can't we wait a little longer? Perhaps the Netherworld Emperor Gui will burn out and perish?"
The black-robed cultivator had little respect for the Emperor and would have preferred not to speak with him if it weren't for the need to borrow the flag.
The man shook his head, his hooded face revealing a hint of clenched teeth.
"The Netherworld Emperor said he wanted to burn it all... But who knows when that will happen? Three months have passed, and who knows when he will fall?"
"Even the Supreme Xuanzhen suspects... that the Netherworld Emperor is putting on a show! But the state of burning blood and energy is so real that even a Martial Deity couldn't survive in such a situation."
"Supreme Xuanzhen is worried about changes in the situation and losing control over Qi Tian City. What if Qi Tian returns from the Wiles Pavilion?"
"The Netherworld Evils outside Qi Tian City can then achieve the connection..."
At these words, the Emperor lightly sighed.
"Rest assured, I have obtained the Gathering Immortals Mystical Banner. I will cross over from the Wiles Pavilion to the inner city of Qi Tian. Once the inner city's location is exposed, the Heavenly Court will tear through the mists and create a path through the Wiles Mist, leading directly to Qi Tian City."
"With the Gathering Immortals Mystical Banner in my hands, there will be no mishaps. It will go straight to the inner city of Qi Tian and be delivered to the hands of Supreme Xuanzhen."
The black-robed cultivator spoke in a deep voice.
The Emperor remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at Lian Gonggong. "Let my trusted aide hold the Gathering Immortals Mystical Banner and accompany you on your journey."
"After all... the Gathering Immortals Mystical Banner is too important."
The black-robed cultivator from the Dark Heavenly Court sneered. "As you wish."
"Do you think I would dare to disobey the Supreme's orders?"
"I'm not only worried about you, but also about the other powerful cultivators from the Divine Sects. They might intercept the Gathering Immortals Mystical Banner along the way."
The Emperor explained.
"My trusted aide will hold a divine talisman. If they encounter the flag of tribulation, they can immediately use the divine talisman to return the Gathering Immortals Banner."
Then, the Emperor looked at Lian Gonggong.
"Lian Gonggong, are you willing to take this risk for me? It may cost your life... Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Gonggong's expression was filled with emotion and reverence. He knelt on the ground and lightly knocked his head, resolute and determined, as if ready to face any danger.
"Your Majesty, rest assured that I will protect the Gathering Immortals Banner even if it costs my life!"
The eunuch's words were resolute and powerful, causing even the black-robed man to be slightly moved.
However...
Why would a eunuch also talk about burning everything?
...
...
Qi Tian City was bustling and lively.
The Heaven-Striking Temple reopened the Divine Sect, recruiting many disciples during these three months. They searched for divine and spiritual children from various prefectures and counties in the Jiangnan Dao region.
Fang Hanshu also opened up Qi Tian City, allowing merchants to set up shop, and for a while, the ancient Qi Tian City regained its vitality.
Boom!
In the sky, dark clouds piled up, and countless lightning bolts intertwined within them.
The brewing thunderstorm arrived as expected.
Large raindrops fell from the sky, pounding on the black tiles of Qi Tian City, shattering and exploding into a hazy mist, making the entire city hazy.
Outside Qi Tian City, in the City Lord's Mansion.
Fang Hanshu's Confucian robe fluttered as he held the Holy Sage's Book, standing under the eaves, observing the heavy rainfall. His mind was clear, and a galaxy of light shone from his forehead.
By his side, Li Che had black hair cascading over his shoulders, wearing an ink-colored shirt embroidered with golden lotuses, gently swaying.
"Master, a letter from the Qianyuan Sect..."
Fang Hanshu took out the letter and handed it to Li Che.
"What does it say?"
Li Che felt the moisture from the summer downpour, his entire body exuding a majestic aura.
"Old Lu's message wants Xi Xi to return."
Li Che's eyes lifted slightly. "Xi Xi is to return?"
"Yes, for the ceremony of inheriting the position of the sect leader. After Old Lu broke through to the Divine Tribulation Realm, the suppression of the Heavenly Will became more apparent. He needs to consolidate his cultivation in the small heavenly realm and retire from the front lines."
"The Qianyuan Sect cannot be without a leader for a day, so before he retires, he wants to confirm Xi Xi's position as the sect leader."
Fang Hanshu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Che couldn't help but smile. "It seems so..."
"The sect leader is probably eager to enter the Wiles Pavilion and explore, fight against powerful cultivators, seek opportunities, and find the Dao Yun Shen Jing."
Fang Hanshu nodded, his lips curling upwards. "Most likely..."
Li Che pondered for a moment. "Xi Xi's talent is becoming more and more extraordinary. With her diligent cultivation and under the guidance of the boss, her cultivation progress is quite astonishing..."
"However, does the sect leader know about Xi Xi's identity as the daughter of the Hell Lotus?"
"If Xi Xi truly inherits the position of the Qianyuan Sect leader, the sect will be bound to the Hell Lotus... In the future, it will undoubtedly face fierce attacks and punishments from the Divine Sects."
Upon hearing this, Fang Hanshu became solemn. "The letter mentions that Old Lu said Xi Xi is destined to be the leader of the Qianyuan Sect. He is determined and won't let her run away."
Li Che couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling rather pleased.
Lu Taibai was aware of Xi Xi's identity.
He also understood the terrifying consequences of being associated with the daughter of the Hell Lotus. His experiences in Qi Tian City showed that he knew about the entanglement with the Hell Lotus.
Yet, he still stood by Xi Xi without hesitation, which warmed Li Che's heart.
With such trust in Xi Xi, if he was betting on her, then Li Che would naturally not let the Qianyuan Sect suffer.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll find a time to bring Xi Xi back to the Qianyuan Sect to complete the succession ceremony and inherit the position of the sect leader."
"However, before bringing Xi Xi back to inherit the position, there's an important matter to attend to."
Boom!
The thunderstorm continued to rumble, pounding on the ground, creating a hazy mist.
Then, Li Che flicked his finger.
A black chess piece shot out, surrounded by countless black energy, like a rising fog.
The chess piece twisted and expanded, transforming into a purple-clothed figure.
It was the chess piece Li Che had planted by the Emperor's side.
"Master!"
As soon as Lian Gonggong appeared, he excitedly and fervently bowed.
Fang Hanshu was slightly startled, recognizing the figure. His expression became extremely strange.
Isn't this the Emperor's trusted aide?
Although Fang Hanshu had transformed into Li Che's Bind Deity, he had no idea how many chess pieces he had planted in the world...
How many Bind Deities does the Master have outside?
