Chapter 363: The Resounding Arrival

Boom—

The tremors echoed relentlessly throughout the Treasure Tower, swirling continuously around Grand Inspector Fang Shangzhen’s ears.

Even a powerhouse like Fang Shangzhen, listed in the Divine Register, couldn’t help feeling a bout of dizziness.

A distinguished guest?

What distinguished guest?

Li Che? But Li Che isn’t exactly a stranger to the Imperial Watch Tower; last time he came, Grand Inspector showed no reaction at all.

So why is he so excited this time? A distinguished guest—even planning to return in person from the Bizarre Temple? What kind of statement is that?

Even if the Great Jing Emperor himself arrived, Grand Inspector might not extend such courtesy or stature.

After all, even if the Great Jing Emperor wished to meet Grand Inspector, it would depend on his schedule. Only when Grand Inspector returned from the Bizarre Temple and informed the emperor would he come forth.

Thus, Fang Shangzhen was genuinely baffled by Grand Inspector’s sudden excitement.

If Li Che isn’t the distinguished guest—

Then who is?

Suddenly, Fang Shangzhen remembered something. Turning her head toward XiXi, who was tilting her head, a strange expression appeared on her face.

Could the distinguished guest Grand Inspector mentioned be this little girl?

XiXi also looked at Fang Shangzhen. “Hey, what are you staring at, sis of the Demon Lord?”

Li Che smoothed XiXi’s hair and smiled, “XiXi has inherited the Eight-Armed Yulian Furious Third Prince legacy—perhaps that very legacy stirred Grand Inspector’s excitement.”

Li Che’s words did little to clear Fang Shangzhen’s confusion.

What kind of person is Fang Shangzhen, anyway?

How could one not be familiar with the stature of that Four-Yu Eight-Armed Yulian Furious Third Prince Bizarre Temple from Jin Guang Mansion?

Even inheriting the Temple Spirit’s legacy wouldn’t normally move Grand Inspector to such excitement.

This little girl—

Fang Shangzhen’s smile grew ever more pronounced.

For Grand Inspector to hold her in such high regard—even reacting as soon as she stepped into the Imperial Watch Tower—

Perhaps Grand Inspector deduced something from the child’s aura?

Softening her gaze on XiXi, Fang Shangzhen said no more and quickly led XiXi and Li Che toward the ninth floor.

Originally, Fang Shangzhen had planned to take Li Che and XiXi to the cultivation chamber, then contact Grand Inspector to arrange a meeting with Li Che.

But now—

With Grand Inspector speaking for himself, plans had to change.

Li Che held XiXi’s hand. XiXi glanced up at her father, seemingly sensing his tension.

Her heart tightened too; with a pout, her eyebrows shot up, and with her twin pigtails bouncing, she felt every bit the fearsome killer.

However, as soon as they reached the ninth floor, her aura of menace quickly fizzled out.

“Wow—what a massive turtle!”

XiXi’s eyes lit up as she gasped in astonishment.

The ninth floor was vast and empty, but the Demon King Xuan Turtle filled every corner with his colossal presence and an overwhelming sense of oppression.

After all, as a demon king, even a sliver of his aura could shake an entire region.

Even a grandmaster would tremble before him.

Startled by the exclamation, the drowsy eyes of Xuan Turtle slowly flickered open just a crack.

They immediately caught sight of Li Che, his ink-black robe billowing as he strode by.

Oh, so it’s this punk.

The punk who captured that skewed, electric-mouthed expression of Turtle Lord—if the Divine Eagle Sculpture were to spread the tale to the Weird Yao Cave, Turtle Lord’s legacy would be utterly ruined.

In no time, he’d lose his top mating priority in the turtle realm!

Xuan Turtle intended to close his eyes and go back to sleep, uninterested in this punk.

But then, his eyes suddenly widened!

They bulged round as he stared fixedly at the little girl, hand in hand with Li Che, her twin pigtails and protruding tummy on full display.

This kid…—

Xuan Turtle’s eyes shimmered, reflecting like mirrors. In an instant, his pupils ignited with raging dark flames.

Centered on the little girl’s body, the inferno spread, warping time and space—

Before blossoming into a dark flame lotus!

“Oh—it’s her! It’s her! It’s her!”

Xuan Turtle’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Then, with a rumble, an overwhelming aura descended. It crashed down like a mountain on his back, and suddenly, his limbs lost all supporting strength. With a thud, his shell slammed into the floor.

His limbs flew up, resembling a dog gnawing at mud.

Li Che watched the scene with a distant gaze that made Xuan Turtle’s heart jump in fear!

Hey, punk, don’t look!

Punk, look away!

Do not record Turtle Lord’s humiliation any further!

On his back, as if by magic, a dark crack appeared, slowly widening like collapsing particles.

The moment that pitch-black fissure appeared, it filled both Li Che and Fang Shangzhen with a terrifying dread—as if being thrown in would have them sliced to bits by its dark force!

Do not be fooled by the apparant calm of the darkness in the fissure.

In truth, it was wildly violent, like placid water concealing a torrent of devastating power.

Even the most skilled swimmer would face calamity if swept up by its hidden undertow.

“Rend the Void!”

A grave look clouded Li Che’s eyes.

To tear open the void required an explosive amount of energy—a sum not trifling by any means.

And to slice through the void with the ease of Grand Inspector required masterful control of power—a feat extremely difficult to achieve!

Divine Calamity!

The genuine Divine Calamity!

In that moment, Li Che finally grasped Grand Inspector’s true strength—a rare, world-shattering Divine Calamity expert!

From the widening crack, a hand as smooth as jade slowly emerged. Not even the scorching, warping energies tearing the void could harm it in the slightest.

As the crack expanded, a figure in a white robe stepped out, his face shrouded in swirling mist.

Beneath the haze, his striking double pupils were unmistakable. They were utterly different from the illusory ones Li Che had seen before.

It was as if his gaze could pierce the soul, unraveling the essence of all things.

Meeting those double pupils, it was as if the weight of the heavens had gathered—mountains formed from concentrated power, ready to crush down!

It was like a deity gazing down from the skies.

Divine majesty!

Those imposing, heavy double pupils!

Like a mountain abruptly rising from the ground—razor sharp, piercing the Heavenly Dome, shattering it into fragments!

Within the broken dome, someone stood tall, eyes open on a peak above the void, as if surveying the mortal world like a soaring azure dragon.

Terrifying!

Li Che’s heart sank. His internal energy stirred, as if an enraged dragon roared, his blood swirling like a stormy sea!

Power… such overwhelming power!

This was the true Divine Calamity—not like Lü Taibai and Huang Mei whose partial steps into that realm relied on the Dao Essence Catastrophe Force!

It truly cleaved the void as effortlessly as slicing soft cake!

This time… it felt like the real Grand Inspector!

Boom—!!!

Li Che looked upward, as if he could feel the will of heaven and earth rushing with incredible speed toward the Imperial Watch Tower.

Above Divine Capital, the once murky sky darkened abruptly. Heavy, oppressive black clouds swarmed like an incensed mob, surging en masse!

Amid the rolling darkness, bolts of lightning erupted in relentless fury!

Grand Inspector…—

He’s returned!

At that moment, all the top experts in Divine Capital felt it in their bones!

Temple Guardian Division.

Within the sprawling palace corridors, inside a secret chamber, a hulking figure with a body as imposing as a mountain slowly opened his eyes. His bare chest revealed muscles piled like thick stones, exuding a terrifying force ready to burst.

Threaded streams of golden, solidified energy flowed like smoke.

If one looked closely, within that golden energy, two or three streaks of crimson pulsated.

Strands of battle-worn hair swirled wildly, nearly brushing the chamber’s ceiling as he rose.

“Grand Inspector… has returned.”

“Why did he suddenly come out?”

A hint of tension crossed the man’s face.

With one step, he vanished as if in a blink. Faint cracks began to appear in the very fabric of space.

He reappeared—the imposing figure, appearing weightless, as if standing like a leaf atop the black-tiled roof of the Temple Guardian Division’s lookout, staring up at the surging black clouds.

The power of the Great Calamity surged within.

“What a terrifying force of disaster… damn this will of heaven and earth!”

“Could he be so sensitive? Grand Inspector has just returned, and yet the will of heaven and earth sensed it instantly—did you set up a dog-nosed mortal here?”

The burly man clenched his fist, his voice low.

A sound of shattering air roared.

With his head of fiery red hair streaming wild, Wang Kui, with a golden ring on his nose, gracefully stepped out of the void.

Seeing the burly man appear, his eyes gleamed with curiosity.

“Governor-General, how—how did you break out of seclusion?”

Wang Kui asked.

The head of Temple Guardian Division—there were three governors in all, but in truth only one true head.

It was none other than Ye Pengju, the chief of the Fifteen Heavenly Gate Passes arranged by Grand Inspector.

One could even call him the martial arts mastermind of the Great Realm!

“The aura of disaster woke me; I dared not train any further.”

“However, it was Grand Inspector who caused it—he’s returned.”

Ye Pengju replied coolly.

Not long after Wang Kui’s words, another shattering sound echoed through the air.

It came from the third governor of the Temple Guardian Division—a man clad in scholarly robes, extraordinarily handsome,

with smooth, almost oily skin, topped with a decorative hat and a peony pinned to his ear.

Holding a paper fan, he swayed it gently, stirring a light breeze.

Quite the dandy.

“Oh, the head governor has emerged from seclusion—”

The third governor of the Temple Guardian Division… Flower Man Lou.

A man long accustomed to roaming the brothels, soothing wayward women until he was utterly spent.

Though a governor of the Temple Guardian Division—a top-tier existence—he wasn’t even capable of handling the Fifteen Heavenly Gate Passes.

The mountain-like Ye Pengju shot him a glance and chuckled, “Lack of restraint, I suppose.”

“Martial arts require discipline. Every act of unbridled indulgence only wastes your natural talent!”

Flower Man Lou managed a bitter smile, “Head Governor is right. I’ll control myself next time.”

Ye Pengju stood with his hands behind his back, his body radiating explosive power.

“I’ve upheld the Pure Yang for 180 years—watch how formidable I’ve become; you, depleting your essence, are but one punch away from defeat.”

Wang Kui’s golden-ringed nose twitched. These two certainly never missed an opportunity to clash whenever they met.

“But why did Grand Inspector suddenly return? There was no warning at all—”

Wang Kui inquired in puzzlement.

Ye Pengju narrowed his eyes, then glanced at Flower Man Lou, “Why not check who visited the Imperial Watch Tower today?”

Upon hearing this, Flower Man Lou snapped his fan shut, clasped his hands together, contorted for a moment, and then vanished without a trace.

Ye Pengju’s body shone with an almost golden aura, his eyes like bronze bells.

“Who—”

“Warrants Grand Inspector’s personal return?”

Divine Capital Second City.

King Ping Luan’s Mansion.

Ji Mo Li, clad in dark armor, stood with his hands behind him, flanked by his four sons—each as imposing as a wrathful, fierce deity.

In unison, they all looked skyward.

“The Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations—”

“Grand Inspector Gong Shugui—”

A deep trepidation filled Ji Mo Li’s eyes.

Beside him, Huang Mei pressed her palms together.

After a moment, Ji Mo Li ceased his gaze, turning instead to continue his conversation with Huang Mei.

Ji Mo Li was genuinely pleased that Huang Mei had agreed to an alliance.

The power of Xiao Lingyin Temple was indeed worth leveraging.

With the aid of Xiao Lingyin Temple, the Underworld would surely be hard-pressed to escape.

Ji Mo Li believed the Underworld would eventually act; he was now waiting and watching for its next move.

He must seize that Freewill Gold-Iron Divine Staff from the Underworld Divine Monkey’s grasp.

Over in Qitian City,

the Bizarre Temple began to swell once again…

There wasn’t much time left.

Lotus Tower.

National Teacher Xie Yunshen squinted as he stepped under the eaves, gazing at the ever-accumulating black clouds above, an odd expression crossing his face.

“Grand Inspector—? Has he returned from the Bizarre Temple?”

“Divine Calamity, what a fearsome realm—it only takes a slight stir to turn the heavens to chaos! A realm to be envied indeed.”

National Teacher Xie Yunshen was utterly envious.

Beside him, Lü Taibai’s eyes were narrowed, his fingers curled into fists in silent determination.

The National Teacher shot him a look and shook his head, “See that? With Grand Inspector’s backing, the Prince’s position is unassailable.”

“That is the power of Divine Calamity—

“And Grand Inspector, this Divine Calamity, is unlike any other.”

Then, National Teacher paid little mind to Lü Taibai and turned his gaze to the two premier experts at Heavenly Gate.

“Grand Inspector wouldn’t return without reason. Someone must have provoked the National Teacher to come back. Go check who met Grand Inspector today.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Can and Di Que clasped their hands and departed one after the other.

The strange occurrences in Divine Capital had drawn the attention of all top experts.

Of course, none of them were fools. After all, these were peak cultivators—even the patriarchs of major sects, at their very weakest, were beings of miraculous Divine Nascence and transformation.

It had to be Grand Inspector’s return that triggered these extraordinary phenomena.

This phenomenon lasted for a long while, yet the natural disasters and calamities did not cease. The dreaded Divine Xiao Thunder, one of the terrifying Three Calamities, seemed to be inexplicably blocked by an unseen force.

It was none other than the Eight-Headed Dragon sculpture guarding the Imperial Watch Tower’s ninth floor.

Imperial Watch Tower, Ninth Floor.

Amidst a shroud of white mist, Grand Inspector’s double pupils flickered with excitement.

They stared fixedly at XiXi.

Examining her carefully.

XiXi clutched Li Che’s hand, growing nervous.

After all, witnessing someone casually tear apart the void was enough to shake her—to wonder what it would take to do the same.

Her sect master had said such a method was achievable only by those at the Divine Calamity realm!

“Ahem—”

Grand Inspector’s double pupils shimmered. After a long, lingering look, he finally let out a deep sigh.

That sigh brimmed with regret and sorrow.

“You are not her.”

In those intense eyes, a profound disappointment welled up.

Li Che raised an eyebrow—hadn’t he heard these words somewhere before?

Yet Grand Inspector, as if struck by another thought, broke into a soft smile.

“Very well—”

Li Che watched as Grand Inspector muttered to himself.

A strange feeling tugged at his heart.

“Li Te and the others, you sought me out for a solution to the Yulian Force within your daughter, didn’t you?”

Before Li Che could question further, Grand Inspector’s glimmering double pupils hinted he’d long understood Li Che’s intent.

Li Che merely nodded, unsurprised.

Knowing that Grand Inspector was exceptionally adept at analysis, it wasn’t unusual for him to reveal Li Che’s purpose.

“The Yulian Fire originates from the forces within the Bizarre Temple—the Yulian camp—powered by Dao Essence. It has already seeped into her soul. In truth, if your daughter’s physical body is strong enough, this Yulian Fire could transform into a boon that refines both her body and spirit to a higher level—

“But if her body isn’t strong enough, it will be a death sentence.”

Grand Inspector said flatly.

Li Che’s heart grew heavy.

“XiXi once endured a calamity. But the clarity of the Third Prince’s dying divine intent helped subdue the Yulian Fire. That Yulian Fire—

“—was none other than the devious trap set by the Seven-Treasure Shеli Ruyi Heavenly King Tower Temple Spirit!”

Li Che declared.

Grand Inspector merely nodded.

“There are two solutions. One: Find the other two Temple Spirit Divine Weapons to form a set, and use the combined power of that set to temper XiXi’s body so that when she attains Divine Nascence, it can suppress the Yulian Fire—though there’s no guarantee.

The second option: Sever your own flesh, excise bone and meat, venture into Bizarre Temple to obtain the Yulian Divine Lotus Root, thereby forging an indestructible body that fears not the Yulian Fire—allowing you to eventually overcome the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations with ease.”

Grand Inspector’s eyes shone under the mist as his booming voice offered Li Che two paths.

Two options, indeed?

Li Che’s heart leapt, only for joy to quickly dissipate.

For out of the two options, only the first path was viable—he could not bring himself to choose the second, which meant self-mutilation.

“The first solution,”

Li Che took a deep breath.

“XiXi currently possesses the Purple Flame Snake Spear, the Yulian Fenghuo Jingguang Wheel, the God-Slaying Gold Brick, and the Yulian Yin-Yang Sword—only missing are the Undying Yulian Hun Tian Ling and the Xuanlei Vajra Qiankun Ring.”

Grand Inspector said in a low, gravely tone.

Then, raising his smooth jade-like finger, he began gesturing, and divine energy stirred between heaven and earth.

A divine aura, reminiscent of a white python, coiled up from Xuan Turtle’s back, intertwining like a fusion of turtle and snake.

Countless sparks danced in Grand Inspector’s eyes.

Finally, silence fell.

“Undying Yulian Hun Tian Ling is located on Zulong Island of the Dragon God’s clan—a challenging retrieval. Meanwhile, the Xuanlei Vajra Qiankun Ring was originally in the Three Pure Ones’ ranked Bizarre Temple of Dragon Abyss Path, but it has since fallen into the hands of the Corpse God Sect at their headquarters.”

“The Corpse God Sect sent the Demon Child to Jin Guang Mansion to retrieve the Temple Spirit’s Yulian Divine Essence Lotus Seed—to catalyze and refine this Mythic Weapon.”

Grand Inspector explained flatly.

In a succinct demonstration, he revealed the whereabouts of two Mythic Weapons to Li Che!

Li Che’s heart trembled with a newfound direction as his eyes lit up with joy. For the sake of his daughter XiXi, no obstacle was too great to procure these divine arms!

“Thank you, Grand Inspector!”

Li Che clasped his hands in gratitude.

XiXi glanced at her father, understanding that the mysterious old man before her was on her side, and so she mimicked Li Che by offering a bow.

Grand Inspector, upon seeing this, burst into hearty laughter.

His mirth was so infectious that even Fang Shangzhen was left speechless—she hadn’t seen Grand Inspector so cheerful in years. That little girl had truly made his heart bloom.

“Li Te and the others, if you wish to thank me, bring XiXi more often to the Imperial Watch Tower—

“and ensure her safety.”

Li Che instantly grew solemn.

“My daughter’s safety will always come first. I will do everything in my power, even risk my life, to protect her.”

Li Che bowed deeply, his voice grave.

His daughter, after all, must be protected no matter what.

Who else if not him?

Grand Inspector’s double pupils seemed to look deeply into Li Che’s soul as he said, “You bear some grudges, don’t you? Then let Xuan Turtle accompany you to the Seven-Treasure Shеli Ruyi Heavenly King Tower.”

At these words, Li Che’s face softened, and a hint of a smile appeared.

“Thank you, Grand Inspector.”

Grand Inspector smiled gently.

In the next moment, he drifted forward like a wisp of cloud, landing right before XiXi.

On the ninth floor, as wind and waves suddenly surged, Grand Inspector seemed to transform into a maelstrom of swirling airs.

In his deep, thoughtful double pupils, there was a trace of sentiment.

He slowly reached out as if to caress XiXi’s head.

But the instant his fingertips touched her, they dispersed like smoke, and Grand Inspector vanished from the ninth floor once more.

He had come in haste, just as he had departed in haste,

taking with him the billowing black clouds over Divine Capital.

Instantly, peace returned to the ninth floor.

The dreadful pressure and the desolation wrought by the ruptured void vanished without a trace.

The Demon King Xuan Turtle lay on the ground, eyes wide as he looked at XiXi, seemingly fearful.

Suddenly, Xuan Turtle’s gaze shifted to Li Che.

It appeared he had just heard that Grand Inspector ‘lent’ him to this punk?

Fang Shangzhen also picked up on it, a peculiar thought crossing her mind.

Grand Inspector really lent the Demon King to Li Che?

What was he planning to do?!

And he intended to take him to the Seven-Treasure Shеli Ruyi Heavenly King Tower Bizarre Temple—that’s a Four-Yu Bizarre Temple in Divine Capital!

What scheme was this?

To confront the Temple Spirit?

But Fang Shangzhen wasn’t foolish. Although Li Che and Grand Inspector’s conversation was vague, she managed to extract some detailed information.

“XiXi’s body harbors the Yulian Fire—a force that could consume her life. Li Che is deeply worried—”

“and the reason this Yulian Fire manifested in her is because of that Golden King Tower Temple Spirit from the bizarre temple. So Grand Inspector sent Xuan Turtle with Li Che; is he planning to subdue the Temple Spirit’s outburst?”

A calculation formed in Fang Shangzhen’s mind.

She looked at Li Che and said with a smile, “Li Te and the others, if you ever need an extra hand, know that the Seven-Treasure Shеli Ruyi Heavenly King Tower Bizarre Temple is tainted by Buddhism. They’ve schemed against XiXi—it’s unforgivable.”

“I’ll lend my strength to you, Li Te. After all, the Four-Yu Bizarre Temple isn’t ordinary. One Demon King may not be enough—I’m willing to join forces.”

Fang Shangzhen was clearly choosing to ally with Li Che—or rather, to get close to XiXi, since Grand Inspector had gone out of his way for her. Who knew? Perhaps Grand Inspector would even take XiXi on as a disciple, though that was far from certain.

After all, the fact that Grand Inspector was willing to dispatch Xuan Turtle to help XiXi vent his anger spoke volumes.

Li Che grinned and thanked, “Sister Fang, your help is most welcome.”

Li Che then recounted, with clenched teeth, the schemes he had encountered when XiXi broke through to Divine Vision.

At his words, Fang Shangzhen’s anger boiled over.

“That damned Buddhist Temple Spirit—scheming to gamble a child’s future!”

“It deserves a good thrashing!”

Fang Shangzhen’s fury was palpable.

The mighty energies of heaven and earth surged wildly, warping the very space around them.

“Choosing a day is pointless—better to strike now.”

Fang Shangzhen’s robe billowed as she calculated, “Today’s a good day. Let’s set out and beat the hell out of that spirit!”

Li Che couldn’t help but smile—Sister Fang was indeed hot-tempered, a stark contrast to the unhurried Fang Han Shu.

Yet, Fang Shangzhen’s strength was indisputable—ranked fourth in the Divine Register and even placed above Sect Leader Lü Taibai!

Granted, Lü Taibai had already transferred the Tao Calamity Sword, so his strength could no longer be measured by conventional Divine Register rankings.

Li Che had no objections.

Fang Shangzhen strode ahead, her usual gentle demeanor exploding into fierce determination, and Li Che readily agreed.

Beat the Temple Spirit?

Li Che’s goal was not merely to thrash the Temple Spirit—the idea of giving that Seven-Treasure Shеli Ruyi Heavenly King Tower Temple Spirit a good beating was also appealing.

“Rest assured, Li Te. Even though entering the Four-Yu Bizarre Temple requires passing through the Temple Guardian Division, not even Ye Pengju can stop us!”

Fang Shangzhen swept her massive sleeves aside and declared coldly.

Her confidence was palpable.

Li Che smiled, but Fang Shangzhen’s gaze was fixed on the inert Demon King Xuan Turtle.

Even though Grand Inspector had said Li Che could take Xuan Turtle to the Seven-Treasure Shеli Ruyi Heavenly King Tower Bizarre Temple,

Xuan Turtle still adopted an attitude of defiance—a stubborn turtle unafraid of boiling water, clearly unwilling to move.

Li Che couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Xuan Turtle lazily glared at Li Che as if to say, ‘Grand Inspector told you to move, but that doesn’t mean I’ll budge now—’

Fang Shangzhen sighed. With her years of dealing with the Demon King, she immediately understood the old turtle’s mindset.

“Li Te—this turtle isn’t easily swayed.”

“Enough, I’ll contact Deputy Chief Yue Taofu and invite a few more friends—”

“Those top-tier experts at the Seven-Treasure Shеli Ruyi Heavenly King Tower may be formidable, but as long as four or five supreme experts join forces with the great immortals, nothing can stop us.”

Fang Shangzhen concluded, “After all, the Temple Spirits in the bizarre temple have long since fallen from their peak of divine majesty.”

The meaning was simple: if the turtle wouldn’t budge, then ignore him.

Li Che narrowed his eyes and waved at Fang Shangzhen.

“Sister Fang, no haste—”

“Let me handle this.”

“Maybe I can win him over?”

“Perhaps the turtle might be easier to persuade than we think?”

Li Che smiled.

With a flick of his five fingers, a five-star spiritual fruit appeared in his hand—a treasure pilfered from the greedy eunuch Han Sixi’s vast collection.

Han Sixi had accumulated countless spiritual fruits to satisfy his cravings.

Li Che patted XiXi’s head, instructing her to stay by Fang Shangzhen’s side.

Then, the sound of his black robe rustling, Li Che steadily approached the enormous Xuan Turtle.

Xuan Turtle, lying on the ground, lifted his head, his beak curling in disdain as he glared at the punk who dared to record an act that could strip him of his turtle mating priority.

Using a five-star fruit to coax a turtle?

Did this punk really think he could reduce Xuan Turtle to a lackey?

How much did he despise Xuan Turtle?

He wouldn’t even part with a four-star spiritual fruit!

Xuan Turtle was, after all, a demon king!

Xuan Turtle’s nostrils flared, exhaling two hot streams.

Noticing Xuan Turtle’s posture, Li Che smiled and felt a stirring within his heart.

In that instant, an Unsullied Heart of divine aura condensed into a chess piece, embedding itself right at the center of the spiritual fruit.

Li Che expertly manipulated the fruit and extended it toward the haughty Xuan Turtle.

Xuan Turtle trembled violently—

his entire shell shuddered!

His pupils quaked!

Drool began uncontrollably to stream out!

It was unbelievably fragrant—

so fragrant!

Does this punk really intend to test Xuan Turtle with just a fruit?!

Which turtle could possibly stand such a test?!

But Xuan Turtle, proud as ever, retorted:

“Not even a single one is enough?”

“Senior, just take another look.”
