Chapter 202: Divine Revelations and Underworld Confrontations

Hummm—

One ancient character after another surged like living scripture from myth, weaving into his mind as if divine sigils leaped forth from an old bronze bell.

Surrounding his Primordial Spirit, they gradually etched themselves into Li Che’s consciousness.

The Sanqing-level Divine Essence Technique!

Li Che’s eyes sparkled, as if the sound of evening gongs and morning bells had resounded—deafening and resolute!

The Divine Method of Celestial Phenomena and Earthly Spirits – True Monkey Divine Essence Technique!

Though it was merely a Divine Essence Technique, it had attained the rare Sanqing rank!

Compared to the Sanqing-ranked Divine Fetus Technique that XiXi obtained through Temple Spirit Resonance in the Eight-Armed Yulian Furious Third Prince’s Bizarre Temple, this was somewhat inferior.

Yet, Li Che was more than satisfied.

The Divine Method of Celestial Phenomena…

Was it the godlike power he had envisioned?

However, it was probably just another Divine Cultivation Technique—hardly comparable to true godlike abilities.

With his eyes closed, Li Che finally absorbed and inherited all the scriptures.

In an instant, his mind went blank; the next moment, as if stirred by invisible currents, a mysteriously wondrous vision unfolded before him.

Within the vision…

A terrifying colossal ape, towering ten thousand fathoms high with blood that flowed like molten lava, stood on the earth. Mountains at his feet were mere mounds, and the stars overhead were as easily plucked as fruit!

Boom—!!!

The vision shattered explosively into nothingness.

Li Che opened his eyes and regained his composure, awe shining in his gaze.

But soon his heart calmed, even as his blood raced and his emotions stirred wildly.

In the courtyard, though no wind blew, his dark hair whipped about.

‘The higher the rank of a Divine Technique, the greater the divine quality it cultivates. At the same level, a higher rank exerts stronger dominance – subtle at first, but its impact grows at advanced stages.’

‘For instance, the quality of the Divine Essence Golden Pill one consolidates, or the subtle differences in one’s Primordial Transformation when blessed by divine essence…’

‘Then there’s the Golden Body Transcendence, Breath Retention Transformation, and even the process of condensing the Divine Fetus—all varying with the quality of one’s divine essence.’

‘Just as in martial cultivation, where profound techniques differ in rank—be it a Master’s Technique barely reaching Grandmaster or even Martial Saint levels, disparities in true intent, vitality, and strength emerge.’

Li Che studied the freshly acquired Divine Technique, his mind awakening to new insights.

But the higher the rank of a Divine Technique, the greater the divine quality expended—demanding more time, energy, and resources.

What would normally require a modest amount of Divine Essence Crystals from cultivation to Divine Foundation might now need tenfold the resources.

‘Yet for cultivators with average divine aptitude, a higher-ranked Divine Technique isn’t necessarily better…’

‘The higher the rank, the tougher the practice. Those who might have reached the Divine Essence realm could be doomed to wander at the Divine Vision stage all their lives.’

‘With low aptitude, pursuing high-level techniques is like cutting off one’s own future path.’

Li Che closed his eyes as the golden aura slowly receded.

What about his own divine aptitude?

Though Li Che felt his divine talent was inferior to his martial prowess, compared to ordinary divine cultivators, he was far superior.

Moreover, Li Che’s Primordial Spirit had manifested early.

He could use his Primordial Spirit to bolster his divine cultivation, proving his qualification to practice this Sanqing Technique.

With the birth of his Primordial Spirit, he could even fortify it through the refining methods in the ‘Divine Method of Celestial Phenomena and Earthly Spirits.’

In other words, he began refining his Primordial Spirit earlier than other cultivators.

Afterward, condensing a Divine Essence Golden Pill and breaking through his first Primordial Transformation would come naturally.

Suddenly.

Li Che straightened his back, raised his hand, and tapped his brow.

Inside the Mud Pellet inner realm, invisible waves surged forth, roaring and rippling across the space.

A rich, overwhelming divine aura radiated ceaselessly from Li Che, expanding outward.

Within the Cosmic Chessboard…

Due to the tier-one divine skill [Summon the Divine] of Divine Guidance, the divine aura of the Fire-Eyed Astonished Spirit Ape Temple Spirit had been reduced to an extremely thin, empty shell.

Accompanied by a reverberating tremor.

All the empty shells crumbled, scattering like grains of sand in a clattering cascade…

Dissolving like swirling blue smoke.

Rumbling—

Within the Mud Pellet inner realm, Li Che sensed that the Awakened Divine Foundation had begun to vibrate continuously, and on it, as if in bas-relief, the image of the Temple Spirit emerged!

Li Che’s eyes snapped open, bursting with radiant brilliance!

‘It’s done!’

A low hum reverberated throughout the courtyard!

The Temple Spirit’s divine aura, summoned via [Summon the Divine], had fully merged with the Awakened Divine Foundation to form an inner image. Once its carving was complete, it would solidify into the Divine Vision!

And now, Li Che had acquired a Sanqing-level Divine Essence Technique.

However, this Divine Essence Technique wasn’t classified under any of the Seven Emotions of Divine Nature, so Li Che wasn’t in a hurry to alter it.

He could wait until the Awakened Divine Foundation was carved into its Divine Vision, reaching that realm.

Only once he fully understood this Sanqing Technique would he further refine it.

Li Che even believed that this Sanqing Technique might serve as preparation for the Divine Vision of his Unsullied Heart Divine Foundation.

His Unsullied Heart had now condensed into a Divine Foundation—but how could it penetrate into Divine Vision?

This perplexed Li Che, leaving him momentarily at a loss.

The emergence of this Sanqing Technique did provide an additional point of reference.

As for breaking through the Awakened Divine Essence, Li Che didn’t hesitate or delay any longer.

Carving the Divine Vision…

He feared nothing in that regard.

Even if it meant carving the Divine Vision from his very Divine Foundation, Li Che showed no fear—after all, he was a master woodcarver with unparalleled skill.

He had heard that some cultivators, to secure their breakthrough into Divine Vision, even sought master woodcarvers to help them during the process.

However, that method was dangerous, yet sometimes the only desperate option available.

He tapped his brow, and the inner realm of the Mud Pellet tore apart!

In an instant—

The Awakened Divine Foundation soared skyward!

A colossal Divine Foundation, as imposing as a grinding stone, gleamed with an overwhelming divine brilliance.

It hovered above Li Che’s head!

Li Qingshan’s breakthrough into Divine Vision had been extraordinarily grand.

Yet Li Che’s breakthrough would surpass even that, as it carried the might of the overwhelming Temple Spirit’s divine aura…

But Li Che possessed the Cosmic Chessboard, capable of completely containing and suppressing such might.

He wouldn’t need to become the target of everyone like Li Qingshan did.

To reach Divine Vision, his physical strength had to match the strain of the divine aura, lest his body collapse.

Thus, nearly all divine cultivators also practice martial arts.

To maintain their bodily strength.

Li Che’s physique was more than sufficient—as a Grandmaster, his body could effortlessly bear the strain of Divine Vision.

He wouldn’t even break a sweat.

With a flick of his fingers, his Martial Saint True Intention burst forth, summoning the might of myriad dragons!

It transformed into slicing rays of light that surged upward in an instant.

They cleaved into the Awakened Divine Foundation with a resounding strike!

It resounded like the clashing of pure, genuine iron.

The grinding-stone-like Divine Foundation was incredibly resilient, as if made from the hardest substance in existence, with divine light flowing over it and the Temple Spirit’s aura cascading down.

Li Che’s eyes shone brilliantly as he employed his Wanlong Fushen True Intention, slicing through it with blade-like light.

The 【Xiangong】 Dao Fruit pulsated vigorously!

It was as if an invisible current of electricity surged all around it.

The blade-light sliced through the Divine Foundation like cutting through tofu!

Fragments of the Divine Foundation immediately fell and exploded mid-air, transforming into pure divine energy.

Li Che’s eyes flashed like lightning as he stood; with a resounding boom, his body grew robust and imposing, exuding an overwhelming, dominant aura. His blood flowed thickly like molten mercury, roaring like a raging river!

He stood on the earth like a deity or demon, so fierce that even the scorching sun dared not approach him!

Li Che raised his hand, and his fingers became like the sharpest spears, piercing through heaven and earth!

The transformed blade-light slashed through the air, causing it to burst with an explosive roar!

Pieces of the Divine Foundation were cleaved away!

Unlike Li Qingshan’s arduous breakthrough into Divine Vision, Li Che executed his with a master’s effortless grace.

Carving upon his own Divine Foundation felt as natural as sculpting ordinary spirit wood.

It was effortless—light and casual, with not an ounce of strain!

With every motion, his Divine Foundation was shaped into a rough mold; the outline of the Fire-Eyed Astonished Spirit Ape Temple Spirit’s Divine Vision was already emerging!

Next came the polishing; Li Che’s mighty Divine Guts soared upward, shattering the void.

Effortlessly, he swept through the Divine Vision at breakneck speed, as fragments of his Divine Foundation exploded into a hazy divine energy that encircled him.

Li Che’s physique was so formidable that even when infused with the Temple Spirit as his Divine Vision,

it withstood the powerful onslaught of divine energy like a steadfast rock, unmoved!

Clatter clatter—

A wild wind swept past, and before he knew it, the Awakened Divine Foundation had been sculpted into the Fire-Eyed Astonished Spirit Ape Temple Spirit’s Divine Vision!

So lifelike, as if it had come to life, with every detail of its simian hair meticulously carved!

It was as if the Temple Spirit had been reborn within Li Che’s Divine Foundation!

‘Screech—!!!’

The Spirit Ape opened its eyes, leaped with agility, and let out a piercing shriek!

It kicked forcefully, as if trying to break free.

Yet, the inner realm of Li Che’s Mud Pellet had already opened in anticipation.

With a flick of his finger, two waves of Divine Guts burst forth, transforming into a divine dragon, a colossal elephant, and the might of myriad dragons soaring through the air!

The Temple Spirit’s Spirit Ape, accompanied by its shriek, was immediately forced back into Li Che’s Mud Pellet inner realm!

Rumbling—

The inner realm vibrated.

A figure exuding an intensely concentrated Awakened Divine Essence—a Divine Vision—suddenly levitated above the inner realm.

Around the Spirit Ape’s Divine Vision, seven rounds of Divine Foundation hovered.

Among them, the Unsullied Heart Divine Foundation radiated a gentle brilliance.

Li Che could only feel the divine energy within his inner realm surging wildly, his overall aura escalating with every moment.

A formidable pressure of rank, as terrifying as a mountain toppling, loomed.

‘Now, my rank pressure is on par with that of the Temple Spirit… the Temple Spirit, renowned as invincible within its tier.’

‘In other words, at least in terms of rank pressure, I am invincible among my peers – in our realm, I am untouchable!’

Li Che’s eyes shone wide and dazzling, as if two flames of terror danced within them.

That was the ultimate manifestation of his Awakened Divine Essence, condensed within his flesh.

He stood up, his muscles trembling; with a thought, the Divine Vision Spirit Ape, previously suspended in the Mud Pellet inner realm, suddenly leaped out.

Flames of terror flickered unceasingly, like the fire of divine perception, burning everything in their path!

Scorching and searing, the void twisted!

Li Che glanced at the floating Divine Vision behind him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

His divine cultivation had finally condensed into its first Divine Vision!

For Li Che, this milestone marked significant progress—a far cry from his humble beginnings in Feilei City, where even forming a Divine Foundation was a luxury.

Now, everything had changed.

Li Che was in high spirits, having achieved major breakthroughs in both martial and divine arts.

The strength to protect his little family had also grown.

After another session with the Divine Vision, Li Che sat cross-legged, basking in the gentle breeze.

He took out two Qian Kun Jade and began tallying up the spoils of his battle.

……

……

‘Don’t worry—leave it to me.’

A gentle breeze swept over the ruins, stirring the scattered debris.

Wearing his Cat Face Mask, Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

Jiao Shaoqiu had found him and declared his intentions—to hire the Underworld for an escort mission.

At first, Li Qingshan was puzzled, but he soon realized who was to be escorted…

Besides XiXi, who else could it be?

Ogre would never refuse this task; even without it, he would naturally escort XiXi safely to Daocheng.

Now, with Jiao Shaoqiu hiring the Underworld, Ogre would even earn a bonus on top of his fee.

It was a win-win situation.

Of course, Li Qingshan agreed without hesitation.

Li Qingshan took out the Underworld Divine Communication Mirror and began to communicate.

After all, he wasn’t a mainstay of the Underworld—he had to check the details before committing.

Thus, standing tall in his Cat Face Mask, he initiated communication with Ogre, Ma Mian, and Divine Monkey through the Underworld Divine Communication Mirror, right in front of everyone.

‘Okay.’

Sure enough, once Li Qingshan recounted every detail of Jiao Shaoqiu’s task,

Ogre coolly replied with a single word.

It signified his acceptance of the mission.

Jiao Shaoqiu’s eyes flashed as he watched the Cat Face confidently handle the Underworld Divine Communication Mirror. He hadn’t expected that even peripheral members like Cat Face would be issued one.

Or perhaps… Li Qingshan’s status in the Underworld was higher than they imagined?

In Jiao Shaoqiu’s eyes, Li Qingshan’s disguise and banter paled in comparison to the might of masters in Golden Body and Primordial Transformation—he seemed almost inconsequential.

However, when facing Ogre, Ma Mian, and Divine Monkey, Jiao Shaoqiu’s Primordial Spirit detection was rendered useless.

Thus, he was certain that Li Qingshan—the Cat Face—held a relatively low status in the Underworld.

Nevertheless, being able to contact the Underworld still had its merits.

Li Qingshan was quite pleased.

He hadn’t kept up with all the brawls and antics.

But now, with the mission underway, Li Qingshan could finally contribute a bit.

He finally felt somewhat involved.

Happy.

……

……

‘In Yuan Jingang’s Qian Kun Jade, there were five Sixfold Divine Essence Crystals and twenty-five Sevenfold Divine Essence Crystals… For the strongest Corpse God Envoy stationed in Jingguang Prefecture, this repository was rather meager.’

Li Che was counting his gains, his domineering divine perception tearing open the Qian Kun Jade to inventory its treasures.

The first to catch his eye were, naturally, the Divine Essence Crystals.

Though not abundant, Li Che was satisfied—after all, five Sixfold Divine Essence Crystals were plenty for him to absorb for a while.

Once his Awakened Divine Essence reached the Divine Vision stage, his efficiency in absorbing Divine Essence Crystals increased, perfectly complementing the Sixfold crystals.

Previously, he had obtained ten Sixfold Divine Essence Crystals from Little Prince Ji Haihui’s Qian Kun Jade, along with gifts from Divine Guardian and other cultivators.

After accounting for his own consumption, Li Che now possessed twenty Sixfold Divine Essence Crystals!

As for the Sevenfold Divine Essence Crystals, there were even more—thanks largely to the Little Prince’s largesse.

Li Che’s smile was uncontainable; such gains filled him with sheer joy.

Continuing his tally, he noted the pill formulas—ten bottles of Sixth-Level Dead Qi Martial Pills, plus several of the Seventh and Eighth Levels.

A quick glance, and he collected them all. Yuan Jingang, essentially the Corpse God Sect’s chief in Jingguang Prefecture, controlled his subordinates’ rewards and punishments.

It was only natural that his collection was abundant.

What truly excited Li Che was the Six Desires Divine Essence Technique—the foundation for condensing his Six Desires Divine Foundation.

It was also essential for evolving his Wanlong Fushen technique to its transcendent state.

After all, the Martial Saint technique Wanlong Fushen required the combined blessing of all seven emotions and Six Desires Divine Essence to maximize its power!

‘The [Sixfold Desire Beyond Corpse Guan Yin Divine Essence Technique], [Sixfold Body Touching White Bone Bodhisattva Killing Divine Essence Technique], and also [Sixfold Six-Ear Ghost Listening Divine Essence Technique]…’

Li Che perused the treasured Divine Techniques stored within Yuan Jingang’s Qian Kun Jade.

He discovered that among the Six Desires Divine Essence Techniques, only the [Sixfold Six-Ear Ghost Listening Divine Essence Technique] was new.

The other two were merely upgrades of existing techniques, cultivable up to the Divine Essence level.

But to Li Che, they held little significance.

‘The Six Desires Divine Essence Technique is still missing the Eye, Nose, and Tongue methods.’

‘It appears that in Jingguang Prefecture, the Corpse God Envoys mostly cultivate only the Body Touch and Desire methods—the [Sixfold Six-Ear Ghost Listening Technique] is part of Yuan Jingang’s private collection.’

Li Che furrowed his brow.

Nevertheless, having some was better than none.

Collecting the Six Desires Divine Essence Techniques wasn’t really a challenge, and Li Che felt no anxiety.

After all…

The Corpse God Sect had established its presence everywhere, and Corpse God Envoys were plentiful.

While others might not detect their hidden presence, Li Che was different.

As long as someone bore the Corpse Curse Seal, Li Che could sense it.

In fact, even after acquiring the Star Plucking Gaze, Li Che could detect the sinister concealed presence without any contamination from dead qi.

He continued tallying the treasures within the Qian Kun Jade.

Suddenly.

Li Che paused his actions.

His gaze hardened.

He extracted a bronze mirror – the unique divine weapon of the Corpse God Sect, the Thousand-Mile Divine Communication Mirror.

Li Che’s divine perception fixed on it, instantly revealing its contents.

It was a message Yuan Jingang had relayed to the Corpse God Envoys in the surrounding four major prefectural cities.

The joy on Li Che’s face vanished in an instant, replaced by an icy, gloomy expression.

Because Yuan Jingang had gathered all the Corpse God Envoys from the four prefectural cities to capture XiXi – who had accumulated seventy percent of Temple Spirit divine aura – en route to escort her to Daocheng.

The message divulged little, but Li Che knew that under Yuan Jingang’s leadership, the Corpse God Sect was about to make a big move.

The envoy stationed in the prefectural city, much like Yuan Jingang himself, was a lower-ranking member of the Sixfold system.

‘Seeker of death.’

Li Che put away the Thousand-Mile Divine Communication Mirror.

His eyes flashed with tangible, electric brilliance.

A cold killing intent surged out from within him.

Any trace of joy stemming from Yuan Jingang vanished.

At that moment, Li Che received an inquiry from Cat Face.

Without hesitation, he agreed immediately.

‘Corpse God Sect…’

‘They’re nothing but street rats.’

Li Che harbored no fondness for the Corpse God Sect.

Not because they were a rebellious force, but because their methods were vicious and ruthless.

From the Thousand Infant Banquet, city massacres, and genocide to mass executions of refugees—the Corpse God Sect was involved in every atrocious deed imaginable.

They were a cancer upon the world.

And now, they had even set their sights on his daughter, XiXi.

‘Unforgivable.’

Li Che’s eyes narrowed, exuding fierce killing intent.

‘The villains of the Corpse God Sect, huh? Come on…’

‘Bring them on.’

His Ogre would not hesitate to slaughter as many as necessary!

……

……

News of the Qin Family’s downfall swept through Jingguang City like a raging storm.

The patriarchs of the Hai, Gongyang, and Gong Families stared blankly at the ruined Qin Family estate, evoking a strange sorrow at their rivals’ fall.

Once, Jingguang City boasted five great families; now… two had perished.

‘But this was all their own fault.’

‘Colluding with the Corpse God Sect and turning to heresy – unforgivable!’

Xie Jing, the chief of the Temple Guardian Division, with a knife at his side, spoke gravely to the patriarchs of the three families.

The fall of a great family was like a whale’s descent, nourishing all life; within the vast capital, forces great and small scrambled to devour the Qin Family’s assets.

The next day.

Snow drifted from a sky heavy with leaden clouds.

Falling snowflakes mingled with the wind.

Whoosh~

In a small courtyard in the capital—the designated meeting spot.

Li Qingshan, clad in black night attire and wearing his Cat Face Mask, sat under the eaves, wiping sweat off his Goat-Horn Hammer.

He was in an exceptionally happy and excited mood.

At last, the Underworld fiends were to act together, and his Cat Face could finally join in.

Previously, Cat Face had missed many Underworld missions alongside Ogre, Ma Mian, and Divine Monkey, but this time…

He had arrived early to wait—surely this time he wouldn’t miss out?

Beside him stood Nan Lihuo, wearing a White Fox Mask, with his white hair cascading like silver fur.

He stood in the wind-swept courtyard, yet inside, it felt as if a furnace burned relentlessly, impossible to calm.

Nan Lihuo closed his eyes.

This time, he had enlisted Underworld experts capable of taking down a Grandmaster.

No matter how many trump cards Su Huai Li held, he was doomed.

Yesterday, Ogre, Ma Mian, and Divine Monkey joined forces to take down Yuan Jingang; they could even suppress the Corpse God’s Will.

This filled Nan Lihuo with immense confidence.

Suddenly.

The crushed snow on the ground creaked loudly underfoot.

In the courtyard,

Li Che appeared, wearing a bamboo hat and a Cute Cow Mask, his robust and hulking frame unmistakable.

‘He’s here.’

Li Qingshan, beneath his Cat Face Mask, was nearly bursting into laughter.

His Goat-Horn Hammer had been longing eagerly!

‘Let’s move out.’

Cat Face stood up, striving to maintain a cool demeanor.

Nan Lihuo opened his eyes, lethal intent boiling within him.

……

……

Moments later.

Inside the City Lord’s Residence,

a deathly silence prevailed.

The falling snow seemed imbued with an extra chill and loneliness.

Nan Lihuo, wearing his White Fox Mask, had slightly reddened eyes; his blazing Primordial Spirit leaped forth as he frantically scanned the residence—yet he found no trace of Su Huai Li!

He was nowhere to be seen…

Su Huai Li was gone!

He had escaped!

Nan Lihuo’s eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins as his body trembled uncontrollably.

The City Lord Su Huai Li—was he really gone?

Li Che, donning his endearing Cute Cow Mask, walked into the snow-covered courtyard; his Star Plucking Gaze swept over the scene as a dense aura of dead qi and corpse energy suddenly rose from the center.

With a single flick, the covering snow burst apart.

It exploded in all directions,

revealing lingering bloodstains in the still-wet pool on the blue bricks below.

‘This is…’

Nan Lihuo and Li Qingshan took notice.

Their eyes involuntarily narrowed.

‘Corpse God Sect.’

A deep voice emanated from beneath the Cute Cow Mask.

Li Che explained,

‘Time-Space Corpse Technique.’

‘Su Huai Li colluded with the Corpse God Sect and practiced the Time-Space Corpse Technique… Yesterday, when I assassinated Yuan Jingang and clashed with the Corpse God’s Will, I didn’t have time to watch him—he used the Time-Space Corpse Technique to flee.’

‘This must be the Blood Vanishing aspect of the Time-Space Corpse Technique—something only a Divine Practitioner can execute…’

Ogre’s hoarse, low voice echoed through the wind and snow.

Nan Lihuo’s body shuddered slightly.

‘He escaped… He actually… escaped…’

The fire in Nan Lihuo’s eyes seemed to diminish as he tottered on the verge of collapse.

But that extinguished fire soon rekindled.

He would not give up.

‘Has Su Huai Li broken through to Divine Essence?’

Nan Lihuo’s gaze dropped; without the Underworld’s deterrence, if Su Huai Li had come to assassinate him, he’d likely have met a tragic end.

He was scheming against Su Huai Li, who was equally intent on killing him.

But Su Huai Li’s secrets ran much deeper!

Even Nan Lihuo hadn’t expected that Su Huai Li had joined the Corpse God Sect and practiced the Corpse God Technique!

Yet, Li Che was not surprised—after all, he had seen it once before.

Back in Feilei City, City Lord Cao Guang had been duped by Yuan Jingang into indulging the Lingying Sect, capturing the Prodigy, sacrificing to the Temple Spirit, and offering the entire city as tribute…

In comparison, Su Huai Li was much more low-key.

But what intrigued Li Che was how Su Huai Li had managed to hide it from him.

Though he had seen Su Huai Li many times, Li Che had never sensed any corpse energy, dead qi, or the aura of a Corpse Curse Seal on him…

Even his Star Plucking Gaze couldn’t pierce through the disguise.

It was as if Su Huai Li wasn’t disguising himself at all.

‘Could it be that the Corpse God Sect has even more ingenious methods of concealing its aura?’

Li Che’s eyes narrowed and his heart trembled slightly – this was indeed unexpected.

After all, relying solely on the Corpse Curse Seal would leave traces, and before a true top-tier cultivator, exposure was inevitable.

Perhaps methods like Su Huai Li’s were the primary means by which the Corpse God Sect infiltrated various prefectural cities.

Furthermore…

Where had Su Huai Li fled?

A flash of murderous intent crossed Li Che’s eyes.

But…

Could he really escape?

Su Huai Li’s aura had long been captured by the Cosmic Chessboard…

As long as he remained within its perceptive range,

he could hide nowhere!

In fact, Li Che deduced that Su Huai Li had likely fled to Lingnan Daocheng,

inferred from the directional aura lingering in the blood pool.

For the villains of the Corpse God Sect…

Li Che adhered to one word: ‘Kill’!

Since Su Huai Li had exposed his identity as a Corpse God agent,

then his fate was sealed.

And in a corner unnoticed by others,

Li Qingshan clutched the Goat-Horn Hammer that had slipped from his sleeve, standing dumbfounded as his masked face grew numb, as if his heart might burst.

He looked as if struck by lightning, tottering on the verge of collapse.

He could not bear such indignity.

No…

How could Su Huai Li possibly escape?!

He, as Cat Face, had barely managed to catch an Underworld operation…

And yet…

Before any action had begun, it was already over?!
