As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality

— Creak —

The heavy doors of the Divine Palace burst open.

Dressed in white, his black hair flowing, Nan Lihuo stepped out from the grand hall, making the ground seem to shrink beneath his feet, covering several zhangs with each step.

The Yuan Bo and the anxiously waiting Sang Guanyin both turned their gaze towards the emerging Nan Lihuo.

"Young Master."

Yuan Bo, his back covered with raw flesh, clasped his fists and bowed.

Nan Lihuo nodded, then turned to Sang Guanyin, "Describe the specifics carefully again."

Sang Guanyin hurriedly recounted the events that had occurred during the monthly assessment in detail, daring not to omit anything.

Nan Lihuo stood with his hands behind his back, quietly listening, his face carrying a gentle expression.

"Indeed audacious,"

"Using children as a weapon is unexpected… but it’s also because Shangguan Qinglei harbors resentment in his heart. Thus, he couldn’t withstand the temptation and became the blade of that Corpse God Cult member,"

Nan Lihuo said in a deep voice.

"Is Xi Xi okay?"

Sang Guanyin nodded, "She’s fine. Elder Zhang took timely action and blocked the technique of that Corpse God Cult villain, but the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal disappeared without trace..."

Upon hearing this, Nan Lihuo raised his eyebrows, "It seems someone acted in secret. With Zhang Qing Zheng’s capabilities, it’s impossible for the Corpse Curse Mark to just vanish like that. Considering his temperament, he would likely have drawn the curse into his own body."

"Are there still unknown masters within the Divine Sect?"

Nan Lihuo pondered thoughtfully.

Suddenly,

Atop Daping of Golden Light Peak,

Another figure came rushing over, it was Liu Yangyuan, with a Cultivator from the Healing Institute at his side.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Shangguan Qinglei… has been killed."

"His internal organs, muscles, sinews, and veins have all turned to bloody water... the method was extremely cruel!"

The Cultivator from the Healing Institute said solemnly, fists clasped.

As the words fell, the atmosphere before the Divine Palace turned sharply cold.

A terrifying pressure, warping the space around him, burst from Nan Lihuo.

"Good, good, what a villain!"

Killing to silence, indeed…

"Master, Elder Zhu has gone to the Shangguan Family and is currently fighting with the Diviner Ancestor of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Jie..."

The third disciple, Liu Yangyuan, with a stern look on his handsome face, reported.

"Let her make a scene. She’s been holding back her anger anyway. Xi Xi was supposed to join her Red Cloud Peak, but I intercepted her, and she’s been looking for an outlet for her anger. The Shangguan Family has brought this on themselves."

"With Shangguan Zhengheng before, and Shangguan Qinglei after, the Shangguan Family... lacks proper upbringing."

Nan Lihuo said indifferently, unconcerned.

"It’s good he wasn’t killed."

Nan Lihuo appeared gentle and agreeable, but in reality... was also one to fiercely protect his own.

"Shangguan Qinglei silenced... who needs him silenced?"

Nan Lihuo narrowed his eyes.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Let’s go, let’s first check on Xi Xi’s condition. The Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal is no minor matter... any impact can affect her for life."

Nan Lihuo said softly.

Sang Guanyin silently nodded beside him.

Yuan Bo quietly slipped away, blending into the shadows and continuing to guard the temple.

Liu Yangyuan was dispatched to watch over Elder Hongdou, to prevent the situation from worsening, being cautious lest Elder Hongdou really lose her temper which wouldn’t be good.

Liu Yangyuan’s expression was stiff.

"Master, me? Are you asking me to stop Elder Zhu?"

That’s the volatile Elder Hongdou. Once her temper explodes, even passing dogs would get kicked... Read new chapters at empire

His master actually wanted him, Liu Yangyuan, to stop her? Was he serious?

Did he no longer want him as a disciple?

Liu Yangyuan internally resisted a hundred times over, but seeing Nan Lihuo already walking away, he could only brace himself and head over.

...

...

— Rumble —

It was as if a soul-shaking roar echoed.

Atop the Heaven and Earth chessboard, all Immaculate Heart Chess Pieces trembled at this moment.

Li Che’s mind fluctuated, struggling to calm down.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly King Divinity absorbed from the Golden Temple was...

So abhorrent of evil!

Li Che hadn’t even tried to harness it yet, but this Divine Chess Piece shot forth immediately, suppressing the skeletal hand.

Melting away the Death Qi and Corpse Qi, it was incredibly tyrannical, clearing the world of blemish!

"Heavenly King... truly worthy of a Heavenly King, intolerant of the slightest fault!"

Li Che laughed aloud.

His eyes swept over, landing on the crushed skeletal hand.

The shattered bones along with the Death Qi and Corpse Qi disappeared, leaving behind a Corpse Curse Mark after shedding the bone.

It was extremely similar to the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal but darker and more terrifying in might, resembling a black hole, suspended over the chessboard, swallowing all light and heat.

The golden Heavenly King Divine Chess Piece seemed to have no further repulsion or action against the remaining Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal.

Thus, the Corpse Curse Mark remained floating within the Heaven and Earth chessboard.

Li Che hurriedly mobilized the Immaculate Heart Divinity to suppress it.

— Rumble —

The Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal indeed proved more difficult to suppress and tame compared to the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal.

The vibrating and erupting black divinity struck against each Immaculate Heart Divinity.

However, Li Che kept piling on Immaculate Heart Divinity to suppress it, slowly refining it.

Although slow, there was finally a glimmer of hope for complete refinement and suppression.

"Once I have completely suppressed this Corpse Curse Mark, it should be like the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal. When it vibrates, the spreading Corpse Curse power can detect other Corpse God Cult members who have been bestowed with the curse..."

"The Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal can detect those bestowed with the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal. By that time… the Corpse God Cult master within the Divine Sect will definitely have nowhere to hide!"

Li Che’s eyes flashed, this was the handle he had caught on his opponent!
