“You scare me, you scare me!”
Boom, boom, boom—
The terrifying power caused the arena to continuously tremble; Shangguan Qinglei’s bones were completely shattered, and he had already passed out.
If Xi Xi had used him as a club and smashed a few more times, he might have died on the spot.
However, Xi Xi ultimately did not smash a few more times. Discover hidden content at empire
Because Zhang Qing Zheng and Zhu Hong Dou appeared together, calming the almost rampaging Xi Xi.
In the spectator’s stand, Li Che gravely suppressed the “Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal” into the Dao Fruit of the Chess Saint, and the whole person also seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, pulling Zhang Ya, and with a mix of shock and anger, rushed onto the arena.
Seeing Zhang Ya, Xi Xi immediately felt aggrieved and burrowed into Zhang Ya’s embrace.
“Mommy, Xi Xi was so scared, it’s too terrifying…”
Tears streamed down Xi Xi’s face.
However, those words were indeed true; the white skeletal claw transformed by the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal truly frightened Xi Xi. The chilling fright of that instant’s death Qi freezing her blood made Xi Xi need at least three bowls of braised pork to calm down.
“Xi Xi isn’t afraid, mommy is here, mommy is here.” Zhang Ya’s face was pale, and she held Xi Xi with a trembling body, her heart still pounding.
Li Che’s face was somber, his hands clenched together.
Zhang Qing Zheng and Zhu Hong Dou’s powerful divine senses continuously swept past, and it took a long time before they dispersed.
At the same time, Sang Guanyin also hurried over, arriving at the arena.
“Uncle Li, it was my negligence.”
Sang Guanyin’s gorgeous face showed a mix of ugliness and anger.
Only after seeing that Xi Xi was alright did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Che did not respond to her, still frowning, as such negligence was very serious; it was no wonder Li Che was in a bad mood.
Zhang Qing Zheng and Zhu Hong Dou, both Elders of the Divine Sense, also had unhappy expressions, and their eyes contained an extremely dense intent to kill.
“Just now, that was… the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal, truly too malicious!”
“It’s trying to destroy Xi Xi, trying to destroy the Divine Child of our Golden Light Sub-sect!”
Zhu Hong Dou said with a cold face, her voice deep.
Zhang Qing Zheng shook his head, “Not only that, once the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal enters Xi Xi’s body, the Sect Master would not let it go easily, and will definitely use all her strength to suppress it.”
“The Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal, even if the Sect Master wants to suppress it, it’s not easy and will take a lot of effort.”
“The opponent’s aim is obviously to destroy our sect’s Divine Child, while at the same time, tying down the Sect Master.”
“Once the Sect Master, a top Elemental Phase cultivator from Golden Light Prefecture City, is involved, the Corpse God Cult might be planning to sweep through the whole city!”
Zhang Qing Zheng narrowed his eyes, his cold, dead fish eyes bursting with an incredibly cold intent to kill.
“What about that Corpse Curse Mark?”
Zhang Qing Zheng suddenly focused.
While puzzled, he also felt somewhat relieved.
Because, that Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal from the Corpse God Cult, even he could not guarantee to stop it in time, unless he physically resisted and drew the Corpse Curse Seal into his own body!
Even, Zhang Qing Zheng had already planned to do so.
Planning to use his own body as a conduit, bearing the Corpse Curse Seal, to protect Xi Xi!
However, that Corpse Curse Seal suddenly disappeared.
It was as if a tremendously pure divinity had surged from within Xi Xi, taking the Corpse Curse Seal away with it.
“Was that a measure left by the Sect Master?”
Zhang Qing Zheng thought to himself, his face stiffening, and he let out a breath.
“Elder Zhang, what exactly is going on here?”
Li Che, as a parent, naturally had to take a stand at this moment and needed to clarify things.
Zhang Qing Zheng looked at Li Che, rare remorse showing in his dead fish eyes, and he briefly explained, taking all the responsibility for Xi Xi’s peril upon himself.
Li Che’s expression eased quite a bit, “It’s not Elder Zhang’s fault… no one could have predicted this.”
“Who could have imagined that the Corpse God Cult could use a seven-year-old child, harboring a suicidal mindset, to carry the Corpse Curse Seal with a Divine Wood Carving.”
Li Che took a breath.
“But… Elder Zhang, this matter is too serious. With the case of Shangguan Qinglei, if there is one, there will be more. We as parents… find it hard to be at ease.”
Li Che spoke with a heavy tone.
Zhang Qing Zheng’s face was extremely grave, as this matter was indeed serious.
Since Shangguan Zhengheng died, Shangguan Qinglei had never returned to the Shangguan Family, restricted in his movements by the Divine Sect, fearing contact with the Corpse God Cult.
But since Shangguan Qinglei never returned to the Shangguan Family, how did he come into contact with the Corpse God Cult?
Perhaps, within the Divine Sect… there are members of the Corpse God Cult hiding!
And moreover, this member within the Corpse God Cult holds a not low position, as the Corpse Curse Seal carried reached the level of Seven Elements!
“Rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and give Xi Xi justice!”
The killing intent bursting from between Zhang Qing Zheng’s teeth almost solidified, as Zhang Qing Zheng, who always acted uprightly and honorably, could not tolerate that within the Divine Sect, there were felons from the Corpse God Cult hiding.
“Under which steward’s command does Shangguan Qinglei serve?”
Li Che asked.
Inner Sect Disciples, unable to apprenticeship under elders, could only serve under stewards, like Li Qingshan is a steward of the Divine Sect and not all stewards own their own peaks.
Li Qingshan belongs to the top-ranked powerful stewards and hence has a peak of his own.
“Shangguan Qinglei… he seems to serve under Sword Cloud Peak… Zhao Jianmian!”
Zhu Hong Dou said.
Zhang Qing Zheng and Zhu Hong Dou looked at each other, nodding their heads.
Sang Guanyin then spoke, “I will report this to the Sect Master…”
With Xi Xi staying with her parents and protected by Zhu Hong Dou and Zhang Qing Zheng, two Elders of the Divine Sense, she could leave relieved to report.
The commotion below continued for quite a while.
Zhang Qing Zheng came out to continue presiding, glanced at Shangguan Qinglei who had been battered half to death by Xi Xi, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
