Perhaps Shangguan Qinglei was bewitched, but without any thoughts, one wouldn’t be bewitched.
He waved his sleeve, releasing a trace of divinity, which fell on Shangguan Qinglei and helped save his life. After that, he no longer treated him and handed him over to the sect’s specialized healing department.
Li Che and Zhang Ya took Xi Xi and left first while Gong Yuanliang, Gong Yang Xiu, and others gathered around to inquire and comfort Xi Xi.
Xi Xi revealed a brilliant smile, “I’m fine, you guys better not end up like Shangguan Qinglei, or I won’t show mercy!”
Xi Xi pinched her chubby little hands, threatening like a little boss.
Gong Yuanliang and Gong Yang Xiu couldn’t help but nod incessantly.
From a distance, Hai Chao Sheng, Huang Si Xiang, and others also looked over. Seeing that Xi Xi was alright, they too sighed with relief.
After seeing that Xi Xi was okay, Zhang Ya’s mood also relaxed.
At this moment, seeing this situation, she couldn’t help but blink her eyes.
“Husband, Xi Xi seems to have quite the charm among the disciples of the Divine Sect of this generation.”
Li Che was holding Xi Xi, his expression indifferent, “Heh, a bunch of little brats, they know nothing about charm.”
The couple, along with Xi Xi, departed while Elder Hongdou followed, not returning to Golden Light Peak but instead to Zheng Lei Peak where Li Qingshan resided.
Li Che and his wife Zhang Ya owned property on Zheng Lei Peak.
As they arrived at the courtyard halfway up Zheng Lei Peak, Nurse Momo was watering the flowers in the courtyard.
Hearing the noise, she looked over to see Li Che and his wife holding Xi Xi, with Elder Hongdou following behind. She immediately understood that something significant had happened.
Lu Chi also popped his head out from the courtyard, and upon seeing Xi Xi lying in Li Che’s arms with a pitiful expression, his eyes instantly reddened.
“Uncle Li, who bullied Xi Xi?!”
Lu Chi grabbed a Divine Wood Carving of the wrathful Third Prince and rushed over with heavy steps.
Li Che glanced at him, and Lu Chi immediately calmed down.
At this moment, Nurse Momo came over leaning on her python-headed cane to inquire about the situation.
After Li Che briefly explained the situation, Nurse Momo’s face turned shocked.
“Inside the Divine Sect… such things actually happened?”
“I’ll go and call Qingshan.”
Nurse Momo slammed her python-headed cane down, about to stand up.
“I’m already here.”
However, before Nurse Momo could stand, Li Qingshan’s voice drifted over. A figure in green robes flew into the courtyard from outside.
Li Qingshan patted Nurse Momo on the shoulder, then turned to Elder Hongdou, “You and Elder Zhang, both Divine Ministers, still let such things happen… what a disgrace!”
Elder Hongdou’s face was cold, and she was in a bad mood, “I’m going to the Shangguan Family for an explanation! They owe me a reason!”
After leaving those words, Elder Hongdou transformed into a red cloud and sped off, rolling towards the direction of Golden Light Prefecture City.
Li Qingshan glanced at Xi Xi and saw that her spirits were good and she didn’t look like someone afflicted by the Corpse Curse Mark, so he let out a sigh of relief.
Then he made a sign with his eyes to Li Che.
The two left the house.
“That Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal… did you collect it?”
Li Qingshan asked.
Li Che looked at Li Qingshan, thought for a moment, decided not to hide it, and nodded.
Li Qingshan “hissed” as he took a breath, his face twitching slightly.
That was the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal…
This kid, was he born with a pure and holy body? Immune to curses?
He even dared to suppress the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal?
“How do you feel now?” Li Qingshan asked cautiously.
Li Che smiled gently, “Don’t worry, I’m suppressing it… It won’t cause trouble for now, but I’ll need to find a place to erase the Corpse Curse Mark. It might take quite a long time.”
“That’s expected… after all, it’s the Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal. Even a Divine Facade Elder would have great trouble if tainted with it, after all, that’s Divine Minister Level power,” Li Qingshan said with a nod.
Then, narrowing his eyes, a fierce killing intent surged around him, “Finally, they’ve shown their weakness…”
“This incident must have been the work of the hidden Corpse God Cultists within our sect!”
“Moreover, the person holds a significant position, possessing a Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal. Didn’t you tell me before, if the Corpse Curse exceeded the Eight Extremes, you wouldn’t be able to sense and investigate it? The other party must have used a Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal, which let them remain undetected by you.”
“Since Shangguan Zhengheng’s death, Shangguan Qinglei has been confined to the Divine Sect, and the Shangguan Family has been jointly investigated by the Temple Control Bureau and the City Lord’s Mansion…”
“At this juncture, even if it really was a Corpse God Cultist hidden within the Shangguan Family, they wouldn’t have been able to arrange this.”
“I will investigate the people Shangguan Qinglei has been in contact with this past month, and we should be able to deduce who coaxed Shangguan Qinglei into such behavior.”
“A seven-year-old child, with an immature mind and facing major changes in her family, is all too easily misled.”
Li Qingshan exhaled a breath.
Suddenly, from beside him, came Li Che’s indifferent voice, devoid of emotion.
“How will the Divine Sect deal with Shangguan Qinglei?”
In the icy voice was a chilling intent to kill.
Li Qingshan paused, glanced at Li Che, “The Divine Sect has its own rules in dealing with matters… and given that Shangguan Qinglei is a descendant of the Shangguan Family, they will most likely put him under house arrest and detain him until the investigation is concluded and a result is given.”
“But at the very least, Shangguan Qinglei can forget about retaining his cultivation.”
After hearing this, Li Che’s expression did not change much.
“Not enough.”
Li Qingshan furrowed his brows, what wasn’t enough?
Then, Li Che shifted the topic, “Peak Master, prepare an undisturbed room for me.”
“Go to my Divine Observation Chamber.”
Li Qingshan directly and generously offered.
He knew that Li Che was probably going to try refining the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal, a matter not to be taken lightly; once it erupted, the fallout would be even greater.
His chamber was the best choice.
“No need, just find any room will do.”
Li Che stated.
Going into Li Qingshan’s chamber for a secluded cultivation would be a bit too conspicuous.
A common room would suffice.
With the Heaven and Earth chessboard spreading, all spying could be sealed off, in no way inferior to Li Qingshan’s Divine Observation Chamber.
Li Che first went back to the room to explain things to his wife and daughter, and then went to the ordinary room arranged by Li Qingshan.
Zhang Ya and Xi Xi resided in Zheng Lei Peak, and with Li Qingshan there, they would not be in danger.
Even if Divine Facade Experts launched a fierce attack, Li Qingshan could hold out until Sect Master Nan Lihuo came to support, so Zheng Lei Peak was very safe.
Li Che entered a room with peace of mind.
The Heaven and Earth chessboard expanded silently.
In an instant, all became tranquil. Experience more on empire
Li Che sat cross-legged on the cushion, his eyelids lowered slightly.
This time, had he not sensed it quickly and used the Thunder Chess Piece to resist the Corpse Curse Mark, Xi Xi would undoubtedly have been afflicted. Even with him there, where no danger would arise, and the Corpse Curse Mark could be removed,
the pain would have been inevitable.
With Shangguan Qinglei harboring such intense murderous intent against Xi Xi, how could Li Che let him continue living?
The Divine Sect has its ways of conducting affairs.
But he, Li Che…
also has Li Che’s rules!
Those who seek to harm my daughter…
Die!
Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, gripping the Thunder Chess Piece he had left on Shangguan Qinglei’s body within his palm.
Thunder Teleport!
Inside the profoundly silent Healing Institute.
Shangguan Qinglei awoke, his eyes open as he lay in bed, his limbs broken and devoid of feeling, as he stared at the ceiling, his eyes lifeless.
He knew his future was over.
He had failed in his actions, and that person… would certainly not come to save him.
Suddenly.
His pupils began to stir.
He turned his head to the side, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
He saw a person materialize out of thin air.
That familiar face made the seven-year-old Shangguan Qinglei’s body tremble violently…
He opened his mouth, as if he had seen something incredibly terrifying, wanting to scream out loud.
But the next moment.
Pfft…
His head was twisted off.
