Li Huo was trusted above anyone in the Divine Sect,
even far surpassing the disciples like Yuan Bo.
“Yuan Bo, Xi Xi was attacked, a high-ranking member of the Corpse God Cult bewitched an Inner Sect disciple, casting the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal… Xi Xi almost fell victim!”
“We must report this to the master, within our Divine Sect, there is a Corpse God Cult expert who can bewitch disciples!”
Sang Guanyin, dressed in a saffron yellow gown, should have appeared ethereal, but her face now intertwined cold austerity with a hint of anxiety.
The extremely old man, stooped as if his spine were broken, was sitting at the entrance of the Divine Palace, slowly lifting his murky eyes.
“Xi Xi being attacked… this is indeed no small matter.”
His voice was extremely hoarse, and coupled with the hunched, knobby spine, he resembled an old turtle.
“But the young master is in seclusion, he instructed this old servant to protect the law, little girl, I cannot allow you to disturb the young master.” Yuan Bo rasped.
Sang Guanyin had also been watched over by him from a young age, from a five-year-old little girl, growing up to the stately young lady she is today.
Yuan Bo thought of Xi Xi, just like Sang Guanyin back in the day…
He couldn’t help but shake his head solemnly, as the children grew up, it meant that he was getting older day by day.
How much longer could he protect the young master?
Yuan Bo shook his head.
“Yuan Bo!” Sang Guanyin couldn’t help but raise her voice.
“Wait a moment, girl.” Yuan Bo closed his eyes wearily.
Sang Guanyin was anxious, staring at the firmly closed doors of the Divine Palace, yet she was powerless.
What could she do?
It’s not like she could storm in?
…
…
Heaven and Earth chessboard.
Li Che’s mind was suspended, controlling thirty-six Pure Heart Divine Chess Pieces, pressing towards the constantly trembling white skeletal palm.
He wanted to suppress the white skeletal palm.
But it was extremely difficult to suppress, as the Seven Elemental Corpse Curse Seal hidden within seemed to possess a life of its own.
Li Che also thought, it must be the Corpse Curse’s master who was controlling it, wanting to retrieve the Corpse Curse Seal, probably knowing the plan had failed and thus planning to retrieve it.
Li Che’s heart turned cold, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified, and he was even more shaken and frightened!
The opponent could still summon and retrieve the Corpse Curse Seal, and if it entered Xi Xi’s body, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xi Xi’s small body couldn’t withstand it, she would be manipulated by the opponent!
How vicious!
How ruthless!
The Corpse God Cult… to use such malicious means against a three-year-old child!
The Corpse God Cult, they all deserve to die!
Li Che’s eyes were stern, his spirit shaken, the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit trembled, within the Mud Pill of the Inner Scenery, the Pure Heart Divine Foundation flashed brilliantly.
It was as if a great river was rolling, like a burst galaxy, cascading straight down.
Forming one after another Pure Heart Divine Chess Pieces, continuously falling into the chessboard.
Snap!
Heaven and Earth played their pieces, with booming sounds, invisible Divine ripples emanated, spreading out in concentric circles.
Sixty-four pieces!
Another thirty-two Pure Heart Divine Chess Pieces fell, like sharp broadswords swinging down, slashing towards the white skeletal palm!
The white skeletal palm “click, click, click” twisted violently, struggling against the transforming sword light, as an extremely dense black aura emerged from it.
The Pure Heart Divine Chess Pieces, like locks, coiled around the large white bone hand.
Suddenly, Li Che’s expression shifted subtly!
He saw that on the skeletal hand, the Death Qi and Corpse Qi suddenly intensified, as if countless white bone claws wanted to drag away this suppressed bone claw!
“Has it started?”
Li Che’s eyes were cold and severe.
The master of the Corpse Curse Mark, that expert from the Corpse God Cult hidden within the Divine Sect, was competing with him for this Seven Elements Corpse Curse Seal.
“I have pulled this Corpse Curse Seal into the Heaven and Earth chessboard, yet he can still sense it… It must not be through Divine Sense.”
“It’s more like an inherent connection between the Corpse Curse Seals, a mother-child relationship?”
Li Che closed his eyes, then opened them again, his gaze utterly ruthless.
Once this seal is imparted, Xi Xi might become unrecognizable to her parents, only recognizing this mother seal!
Bold move!
You mongrel, are you trying to fight me for the custody of my daughter?!
What nonsense!
Feeling the increasingly terrifying pulling force from the skeletal palm and the rich Death Qi and Corpse Qi emanating from it, which even intended to contaminate him.
Without hesitation, Li Che decided to deploy all the Divine Chess Pieces accumulated within the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit.
All in!
Suppress!
However, as this thought occurred.
The quietly nestled chess piece in the corner of the chessboard, which had not revealed any power but was displaying a dark golden color and emanating intense Divine Majesty, suddenly quivered.
Then, it suddenly swept across, distorting the grid lines of the Heaven and Earth chessboard as it passed!
When the black gold-colored chess piece hovered over the skeletal palm.
It was like an ancient deity, looking down from above.
How dare you!
The dark gold chess piece vibrated intensely, as if an angry deity had burst out scolding!
An invisible hierarchical pressure suddenly erupted from the dark gold chess piece, cascading down!
Vaguely, countless hierarchical pressures seemed to transform into a golden glaze Treasure Pagoda!
The Treasure Pagoda struck the skeletal palm.
Li Che thought he heard the sound of bones cracking…
And the extremely miserable wails of ghosts, as the skeletal palm instantly filled with cracks and then shattered into countless tiny bone fragments.
Accompanied by numerous steaming Death Qi and Corpse Qi completely dissipating!
…
…
Within a quiet, dark secret chamber.
The dense black fog suddenly trembled, and the next moment, it shook violently as if boiling.
The figure enveloped in the black fog trembled all over, and then a thick scent of blood wafted through the secret chamber.
Thump thump thump thump thump——
The countless skeletal bone claws floating in the air…
Suddenly exploded!
Numerous ghostly wails were piercingly sharp, chaotic winds howled, and the cold wind whirled…
The black fog surged violently, revealing a pair of deep, blood-dripping red eyes.
“Heavenly King Tower…”
“Heavenly King!”
