Chapter 144: In the temple, the prince roared furiously; taking stock of the gains, the sword immortal surnamed Lü

Around the deep pit, thick death qi and corpse qi intertwined, spreading everywhere.

It made the already deep night even more gloomy, with one black vortex after another like clumps of thick smoke hanging around the deep pit.

Before each black vortex stood a figure in white robes, wearing a white mask with a blood-red 'eight' character written on it.

They were all Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoys of the Corpse God Sect!

There were six of them!

A terrifying and oppressive pressure loomed, spreading and churning.

"A Grandmaster?!"

"Impossible to be a Grandmaster......"

After a long while, a Corpse God Envoy spoke, breaking the silence.

"Grandmasters have no interest in the Guiyi Miao; they are a bunch of madmen who pursue breaking the limits of the flesh, shattering the void, like the Immortal Ranks......"

"The only thing of value in Jinguan Prefecture City is that Four Sovereigns-level Eight-Armed Wrathful Third Prince Guiyi Miao......"

"It couldn't possibly attract a Grandmaster here."

Several Corpse God Envoys spoke in succession.

"But......"

"Such terrifying power, that lingering blood and qi strength, and the hidden, overbearing aura that seizes the heart and soul......"

"It really is like a Grandmaster!"

One Corpse God Envoy crouched down and broke off a piece of rock crystal that had melted and then re-solidified.

Suddenly.

The air violently fluctuated, a black dot appearing out of nowhere, slowly beginning to roll and churn.

Like a black dragon dancing in the void.

Transforming into a massive black smoke vortex three meters in diameter.

From within the vortex, a figure stepped out, a powerful rank pressure instantly sweeping forth.

It left the Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoys feeling immensely suppressed.

"Esteemed Envoy!"

That was a terrifying existence clad in white robes, but with a blood-red 'seven' character written on the mask.

He was a Seven Yuan Corpse God Envoy of the Corpse God Sect!

Every Seven Yuan Corpse God Envoy is a powerful expert in the Primordial Appearance Realm!

Moreover, having perfected the Cursed Bronze Corpse, they have produced a strand of silver gang, making them top-tier experts just one step away from the Cursed Silver Corpse!

"Who died is Xu Jiuqing?"

"Trash......"

"He had been planted inside the Jinguan branch sect for so long, fed with so many resources to cultivate into a Cursed Bronze Corpse, yet something went wrong just before this session's most important 'Temple God Resonance'."

"Can that Seven Yuan Mother-Child Corpse Curse Seal be recovered?"

The icy, oppressive rank pressure surged and churned, making several Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoys dare not speak.

Within the Corpse God Sect, rank pressure is even more terrifying.

Because everyone practices the Corpse Curse Technique, the rank pressure of a Cursed Bronze Corpse over a Cursed Iron Corpse is more than ten times that of divine rank pressure......

Basically, once you cultivate the Corpse Curse Technique, the distinctions in rank become very clear!

Although the Seven Yuan Corpse God Envoy is also a Cursed Bronze Corpse, the strand of silver gang they cultivate......

...... gives them an irresistible pressure over them.

"Never...... Xu Jiuqing's soul, attached to the corpse curse seal, arrived here and simultaneously encountered a suspected Grandmaster-level power alongside Huang Shiyi...... both ended up dead."

One Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoy reported in a low voice.

"Xu Jiuqing's soul came here through our sect's divine secret art, the 'Spacetime Corpse Technique,' traveling through, with the coordinates randomly determined......"

"How could we have been targeted?"

"Was it Huang Shiyi who exposed the location?"

The Seven Yuan Corpse God Envoy said coldly.

Beneath the mask, his eyes gazed upon Huang Shiyi, who lay like mud in the deep pit's ruins, without hiding his disgust.

"A piece of trash!"

"Grandmaster? All Grandmasters of the Da Jing dynasty are under our sect's watch...... Jinguan Prefecture has no Grandmaster!"

"Moreover, do you think a Grandmaster is just this level?"

"It's absolutely a fake."

The Seven Yuan Corpse God Envoy said icily: "Investigate! I must find the culprit!"

"The Temple God Resonance is about to begin...... Currently, Jinguan Prefecture City has gathered experts from all sides, even visitors from Dao City, so keep a low profile."

"Investigate covertly."

"Furthermore... many spirit children and prodigies have come; look for an opportunity to infect them."

"Even if only one prodigy joins our sect...... we will profit greatly!"

The Seven Yuan Corpse God Envoy issued orders and assigned tasks.

"Furthermore......"

"That Ox Demon that specializes in hunting our sect's followers...... I just returned from Fēiléichéng, and Cao Guang's City Sacrifice Plan was sabotaged, which included this Ox Demon's trace!"

"This ox ruined my plans...... I will surely meet him someday, slaughter him, and eat beef!"

"Disperse!"

The white robe swept up violently, a burst of silver gang shot out instantly, landing on Huang Shiyi's corpse, which lay like mud.

Instantly, the corpse directly vaporized and evaporated!

Afterward, the whole person turned and stepped into the black vortex, vanishing without a trace.

"Here!"

Six Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoys respectfully clasped their fists.

They also one after another stepped into the black vortex.

……

……

Winter snow, flake after flake flying in, bringing utter sorrow.

Unable to cleanse the rivers and mountains, it only brings a chill to the river and sky at dusk.

At the cold dusk, a flock of dark crows falls like rain.

In the surging, boiling heart of the Nine Dragon River, the river water grows ever hotter and scalding; a huge and towering Guiyi Miao stands upon it, causing the river water to ripple with layer upon layer of surging waves!

Outside a radius of a thousand zhang around the Guiyi Miao.

One after another, experts of the Temple Suppression Office clad in black-red uniforms stand upright like spears, each forming seals with their hands.

Divinity bursts forth wildly from within them, interlinking and blending, weaving into an immensely mighty Heaven-Earth Great Net that envelops the temple.

Boom—!

The river water continuously churns up one swelling after another, like boiling water in a pot, rising and falling.

Meanwhile, the Guiyi Miao constantly trembles; between heaven and earth, there seems to be an extremely furious howl, as if a figure pressed beneath the temple is furious and striving to break free!

"Ah—!"

The furious sound, like winter thunder rolling, explodes across the heavens!

Rattle—rattle……

It sounds like a chain being strained, a piercing noise, the sound of metal grinding, like a naughty child gnawing at a metal chain with their teeth.

One after another, the chiefs of the Temple Suppression Office standing solemnly on the river surface see their faces drastically change.

Invisible sound waves, mixed with threads of scarlet divinity, seem to roll up from the river water and entwine around their bodies.

For a moment, their eyes all turn scarlet, as if they too are to be altered by divinity, their wills usurped.

Many people's nonstop seal-forming motions gradually slow down.

But they are, after all, professionally trained; although their minds are befuddled by the invading divinity, the seal-forming motions in their hands never cease.

"Eh—!"

Suddenly.

A thunderclap-like voice booms, and a figure strides from the distant river surface; although his steps are slow, his speed is extremely swift.

The embroidered qilin uniform billows in the night wind.

The comer is none other than the Director of the Temple Suppression Office, Xie Jing!

With the addition of Xie Jing, a Primordial Phase Expert, in an instant those chiefs whose divinity had been scattered and seized by the overflowing divinity all regained their wills.

Their expressions shocked and solemn, they formed seals with growing seriousness.

Xie Jing spread his five fingers; divine script rolled on each fingertip, and he slammed them onto the boiling river surface.

Instantly, dense divine script appeared, like a top scholar freely writing on blank paper, thousands, tens of thousands of divine characters intertwining and emerging.

After a few breaths, the restless, boiling Guiyi Miao calmed down.

But the expanded range of the Strange Gate could no longer be compressed back.

Xie Jing rose to his feet with a solemn expression.

"Strange, according to the Imperial Astronomy Bureau's calculations, the day of frenzy for the god of this Guiyi Miao is still some days away; why does it now show a frenzy trend…"

"Did you sense something?"

Xie Jing furrowed his brows.

Suddenly, the sound of an erhu being played echoed; plain clothes fluttering, an elderly man with a small bamboo stool slung at his waist drifted over and landed beside him.

"Imperial Inspector, what is this?"

Xie Jing looked toward the Imperial Inspector who had appeared with erhu music and asked.

The erhu sound gradually faded; the Imperial Inspector stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.

"Two possibilities… someone entered the divine shrine within the Guiyi Miao and accidentally awakened the temple god."

"This possibility is extremely low; the Guiyi Miao is surrounded by Strange Gates, and there are even several terrifying Temple Guarding Corpses in dormant slumber, making it impossible for anyone to silently enter the Guiyi Miao."

"What about the second possibility?" Xie Jing couldn't help but ask.

"The second possibility…"

The Imperial Inspector turned his head toward the direction of the Divine Sect's mountain gate; there, Golden Light Peak rose like a flowing-light sword piercing the heavens.

"On Golden Light Peak…"

"The Heavenly King goes on patrol."

……

……

Golden Light Prefecture, Falling Flower Lane.

A snowflake was instantly torn apart, and a black shadow instantly fell.

All the piled snow in the entire courtyard was instantly struck hard against the walls by a terrifying force.

It emitted a muffled 'bang'.

Scorching, searing, it melted all the snow.

Steaming heat rose continuously, forming a misty vapor that hissed without cease.

Hoo—

Hah—

Deep breaths, like the sound of a bellows pulling, echoed nonstop, stirring the fierce wind currents in the courtyard.

After about ten or so breaths, Li Che finally moved, awkwardly removing his bamboo hat and mask, then plopping down on the ground.

"As expected… it was still too much of a strain."

"The divine nature rank of the Heavenly King Temple is too high; even with the physique of a Smelting Furnace Grandmaster, opening the tower, just inhaling one‑third of the Temple God chess piece's divine nature already hit the limit."

"Moreover, flesh and tissue were torn apart, tendons and bones strained to the utmost……"

Li Che reviewed the power he had just gained from swallowing the Golden Heavenly King's divine nature.

At that moment, Li Che felt as if wearing the Ox Demon Mask, he was about to become insanely powerful……

Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!

Of course, that was the inflation period after a surge of power, which Li Che had experienced many times.

Removing his black shirt revealed countless wound‑like knife marks in his flesh, for the power was too violent, tearing open a diamond‑like skin.

Now, the wounds had long since scabbed over, the Dragon Elephant Golden Vajra Dao Fruit, peerless in external training, naturally also brought strong regenerative power.

"This is the first time I've suffered such a serious injury……"

"The result is that I brought it upon myself."

Li Che sighed.

It's been a long time since I've felt the taste of injury.

Too lazy to put on clothes, Li Che rose, threw punches in the courtyard, his fingers hooked like claws, nearly sucking up all the air in the courtyard.

His bones and joints rang out, his veins trembled like a flood dragon turning, his spine seemed to roar like an angry dragon!

He practiced the basic fist form of the supreme art Dragon Elephant True Strength in a steady, measured rhythm.

Heat surged, his qi and blood slowly circulated back; the minor side effects from using the Heavenly King Temple's divine power all vanished like smoke.

Work done, he put on a fresh black shirt and returned to the inner room.

Pure Heart Divine Nature condensed into paper, qi and blood mixed with Seven Emotions Divine Nature were ground into divine ink.

Under the splashed ink, seven Painting Immortal avatars of Li Che emerged, all sitting cross‑legged in familiar poses, each finding a spot in the room to sit, entering the state of Liver Divine Nature.

Li Che stroked his chin, wondering whether to paint another Painting Immortal avatar to punch nonstop in the courtyard, strengthening his flesh, and whether that strength would feedback to him after the avatar was dismissed.

However, divine nature can feedback, but the flesh would hardly do so.

Mainly, his true body's flesh is too strong; a Smelting Furnace Grandmaster's physique, the painted immortal's physique can't match it unless he fuses all his qi and blood into the ink.

Sitting in a chair, he downed a cup of water in one gulp.

Li Che rubbed his hands, finally putting his mind at ease to tally today's gains.

Xu Jiuqing died completely, body and spirit destroyed; the grudge against the threat to Xixi was finally avenged, leaving Li Che refreshed and clear‑minded.

Moreover, he also obtained the mother seal of the Seven Element Corpse Curse Seal.

A thought stirred his mind.

Within the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, countless Pure Heart Divine Nature chess pieces resembled soldiers gripping spears, while the intensely lethal death and corpse qi, made denser by the Corpse Curse Seal, encircled the center.

Compared to the child seal, this mother seal is far stronger; wearing it down would likely take considerable time.

But there is no doubt that, once refined successfully, the strength of Corpse God Sect experts he can detect will rise to another level.

"This Seven Element Corpse Curse Mother‑Child Seal, fully united, likely reaches the rank of Seven Element Upper Grade……"

"After refining, I don't know if I'll be able to identify the holder of the Six Offices Corpse Curse Seal."

Li Che thought thus, but the holder of the Six Offices Corpse Curse Seal…… just how powerful must they be?

He shook his head, not wanting to ponder that, feeling the restless, wrathful Seven Element Corpse Curse Mother Seal.

Li Che directly manipulated two dark‑gold pieces, so heavy they nearly dented the chessboard lines—dark‑gold Heavenly King Divine Nature chess pieces.

The mother seal instantly calmed and became obedient.

Like demons and monsters, trembling under the rebukes of the left and right door gods.

Li Che smiled, manipulating Pure Heart Divine Nature to slowly wear down and refine.

Exiting the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, Li Che tore open space with his fingers, dropping two Heaven and Earth Jades.

One was obtained from close‑quarters combat with Xu Jiuqing; the other…… was the treasure of the Corpse God Sect Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoy, whom he had beaten to a pulp after entering the Golden Heavenly King Ox Demon Form.

Gains are always something to look forward to, and the mood becomes beautiful because of them.

Opening both Heaven and Earth Jades simultaneously, Li Che split his divine sense into left and right, beginning to investigate.

The Heaven and Earth Jades of two Divine Appearance Realm experts……

It shouldn't disappoint him too much, right?

Li Che began to tally his gains.

"Their divine nature crystals…… four Eight Extremes Divine Nature Crystals! Twenty Nine Luminaries Divine Nature Crystals, one hundred ten Ten Metropolises Divine Nature Crystals."

"Not bad!"

Li Che was delighted; divine nature crystals, similar to his Pure Heart Divine Nature, can quickly boost his Pure Heart Divine Nature and also increase the condensation speed of the Seven Emotions Divine Foundation.

They are the most practical things.

"Too bad, there are no Seven Element Divine Nature Crystals……" Li Che felt a bit regretful.

But that's normal.

Having accounted for four Eight Extremes Divine Nature Crystals, Li Che was already quite happy.

After the divine nature crystals come divine weapons and elixirs.

Li Che clenched his fingers, and a sword hidden in its sheath fell into his hand.

His palm suddenly turned jade‑colored; Thousand Analysis Hand…… analyze!

【Divine Weapon (Seven Elements Upper Grade): Lü Xuánbīng Yáng Sword】

【Craftsmanship: forged from thousand-year cold iron and red gold, mixed with the divine nature of shock and the divine nature of anger, then tempered by fierce fire through a thousand hammer blows, modeled after the sword forged by the Sword Immortal, able to channel the "divine nature of shock" and "divine nature of anger"; when drawn, the sword bears ice and fire】

【Control: divine nature of shock, divine nature of anger, Sword Intent Grandmaster, Void Phase and above】

Seven Elements Divine Weapon Sword, forged imitating the Sword Immortal's sword!

"Lü Sword Immortal's sword?"

Li Che's eyes flashed with a hint of strange color.

Is he one of the Eight Immortals?

After a moment's contemplation, he put away the divine weapon sword.

Besides this divine weapon, Xu Jiuqing's collection only had one or two Ten Metropolis Divine Weapons left; after all, he was an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, and although he was an undercover agent, he still performed his duties diligently.

He hardly engaged in any corruption or bribery.

But thinking of the Seven Elements Lower Grade divine weapon that Xu Jiuqing handed to Shangguan Qinglei to threaten Xixi...

Li Che felt displeased.

He felt his conclusion had been drawn too early.

As for that Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoy, the Qiankun Jade possessed no Seven Elements Divine Weapon, only an Eight Extremes Lower Grade divine weapon...

Very poor.

Li Che then kindly explained that he must have come in a hurry and didn't bring a Seven Elements Divine Weapon.

Regarding medicinal pills, Li Che was quite delighted.

He raised his hand, and a vial containing a pill steeped in rich, seething deathly qi, encased in black jade, appeared in his palm.

"A Seventh Rank Lower Grade Deathly Qi Condensed Martial Pill!"

"Could this guy have traded all his divine weapons for this pill?"

Li Che's eyes sparkled, overjoyed.

With such rich deathly qi, this seventh-rank pill, even for him, if ingested, would have a tremendous body-tempering effect.

For one who has reached the Furnace Grandmaster physique, only such a pill takes effect.

There is only one seventh-rank pill, six eighth-rank Deathly Qi Martial Pills, and the rest are ninth-rank Martial Pills—better than nothing.

Xu Jiuqing, after all a traitor who cultivated the Corpse Bronze Technique, actually possessed not a single proper Martial Pill; all were Deathly Qi Martial Pills.

Li Che could only accept it with a wry smile.

Having happily stored the pills, Li Che then continued to inventory the techniques.

The techniques were numerous, all sorts.

But Li Che only cared about two of them!

Only two were worthy of his attention now.

Xu Jiuqing, as one of the Divine Aspect Elders of the Golden Light Branch Sect, presided over a peak and mastered a supreme true intent art.

Upper-Grade True Intent Supreme Art: 《Lü Xuánbīng Sword Classic》!

Not inferior to the Upper-Grade True Intent Supreme Art 《Eight Flood Dragons Overturning the River Technique》 cultivated by Li Qing Shan!

Both are supreme true intent arts of the Divine Sect, upper-grade, and are somewhat superior to the Shangguan family's Azure Thunder Physique.

This is the gap between the Divine Sect of the prefectural city and the aristocratic clans.

However, if it were the Temple Office or the Bureau of Astronomy, the secret arts they possess would likely also be upper-grade.

Having obtained another supreme art, the Dragon Elephant True Strength can become even stronger!

Li Che felt that his Dragon Elephant True Strength might need a new name...

"Why not call it 《Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant》 by merging many supreme arts into one?"

Li Che smiled, after all he is the creator of this supreme art; changing its name is up to him.

And the second technique comes from that Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoy.

It is not a supreme art, but a divine secret method.

Li Che narrowed his eyes, looking at the scroll coiled with black deathly qi.

"Time-Space Corpse Technique?"

A supreme-art level divine secret technique.

Upon reaching minor accomplishment, one can transform into black deathly smoke and shuttle through space.

"Oh… this is that space-shuttling technique that's like a dangling thread?"

Li Che raised an eyebrow.

Is that the space-shuttling method of Xu Jiuqing that he's been waiting for, to the point that the flowers he's waiting for have almost withered?

Not even a hair compared to his Flying Lightning Chess Piece.

Both require pre-marking coordinates before shuttling to the designated location.

Their efficiency differs by heaven and earth, like the difference between a ten-thousand-megabit and a ten-megabit network speed.

However, Li Che did not completely look down on this secret technique.

"Although it's rather trashy in terms of translocation, … this Time-Space Corpse Technique involves time and space…"

"Upon reaching major accomplishment, not only does the deathly qi space-shuttling speed increase a bit, but it can also… temporarily stall time!"

"Time stop? Although only half a breath… less than a second, for experts clashing, this bit of time stagnation is extremely deadly, greatly affecting the rhythm!"

Li Che stared, his heart involuntarily becoming wary.

But while being wary…… he also couldn't help feeling a bit moved.

Can I cultivate?

If I can cultivate, can I integrate it……into the Dragon Tooth Bodhi Seed Bullet?

Being able to make the target's time stagnate while one's own speed doesn't drop—wouldn't that be an extremely strange variable-speed sniper bullet?

Li Che's heart stirred immensely; he began flipping through, and even if he couldn't cultivate, he wanted to study it and incorporate it into the mechanism.

……

……

The night was deep and all was quiet.

Li Che returned to Proper Thunder Peak.

Inside the small courtyard, it was completely quiet; Xixi had just finished her birthday, and everyone who was cultivating cultivated while those who were sleeping slept.

Li Che walked out of the study and retracted the Painting Immortal avatar carved from wood.

After snuffing out the candle, he stretched his waist, and his bones crackled all over.

Before his eyes, a stream of light flickered past.

【Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv3, 86%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv3, 70%), Immaculate Heart (LV3, 7%), Chess Saint (LV3, 15%), Painting Immortal (lv1, 5%)】

A summary of the Dao Fruit appeared before his eyes.

Li Che glanced at it, his mood was good.

Excluding the Immortal Artisan, the maturity of the other Dao Fruits has seen a considerable increase.

Especially the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, because he activated the Golden Heavenly King Ascending Tower State and killed Xu Jiuqing and an Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoy, the increase was actually quite significant.

The Chess Saint Dao Fruit also saw a considerable increase after absorbing the divinity of corpses.

As for the Painting Immortal Dao Fruit, although it was just obtained, Li Che's avatars are very diligent.

Everything was flourishing and steadily improving.

Li Che was very satisfied.

Qi and blood surged, cleansing his flesh, and Li Che returned to the room.

What surprised him was that the oil lamp in the inner room was still lit, and his wife Zhang Ya was sitting before it, staring blankly at the flickering flame.

Without a doubt, his wife was waiting for his return.

Because Zhang Ya had guessed what Li Che intended to do tonight.

Furthermore, the tremendous commotion from the eruption of Flowing Sword Peak was also felt at Proper Thunder Peak.

That was a master of divine physiognomy, after all, and Zhang Ya naturally worried for her husband's safety.

Seeing Li Che return, Zhang Ya hurriedly rose, bumped into him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"As long as you're safe, as long as you come back safe……"

Zhang Ya exhaled.

Li Che's eyes softened, and he gently patted his wife's tender shoulder.

"It's fine, I have it figured out."

"I'm the pillar of the family; I won't put myself in danger."

Li Che gave a gentle comfort.

Zhang Ya raised her face, buried in Li Che's embrace, and a crystal-clear gleam appeared in her eyes: "But I'm still worried."

"You must believe in your husband's might and strength." Li Che laughed: "For this family, I will not and will not allow myself to come to harm……"

"After all, I still have you and Xixi to care for."

Zhang Ya pressed her lips together.

Li Che laughed hahaha, directly lifted his wife's long legs, and walked toward the inner room.

"Don't make trouble, Xixi is sleeping with me tonight."

Zhang Ya panicked, and her face involuntarily flushed red.

"Rest assured, she can't hear a thing."

Li Che calmly projected the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, firmly enveloping Xixi.

The couple, reassured, began developing and consolidating the bone-tempering posture.

……

……

The next day, dawn broke.

Zhang Ya couldn't get out of bed.

Li Che, refreshed and invigorated, prepared breakfast for the whole family.

He first moved to the courtyard of Fallen Flower Alley, leisurely arrived at the small eatery, where the black dog that had just woken was waving its paws and yawning.

"Boss, what's for breakfast today?"

Li Che entered the Fly Restaurant and asked.

A handsome youth walked out of the kitchen, glanced at Li Che, and said: "Only buns."

"Then give me a hundred first!" Li Che teased the big black dog at the door.

The youth's face darkened: "No, only thirty, no more."

"Then let's have thirty."

Li Che didn't mind either.

The youth turned and entered the kitchen, carrying out three steam baskets, letting Li Che take them himself.

Li Che wasn't polite either, taking the thirty buns and then ordering a large jug of soy milk: "Boss, I bought so many buns—will you throw in the soy milk?"

Get lost.

Li Che smiled, tossed a gold leaf, kicked the big black dog that wanted to sniff out a bun to eat at the door, and, amid the dog's bared teeth and grinning, laughed loudly as he left.

The young boss calmly put away the gold leaf, glanced at the silhouette disappearing into the wind and snow.

He grabbed a bun, handed it to the big black dog, feeding it while stroking its head.

Li Che brought back breakfast, and everyone eating it was very happy.

Xixi alone ate ten, oil dripping from her mouth: "Dad, these meat buns are so delicious!"

"I want more tomorrow!"

Xixi held a big meat bun in each hand, excitedly saying.

"By the way, why is Mom still sleeping in?" Xixi wondered.

"Your mother overdid her bone-tempering yesterday; let her rest well," Li Che said without changing expression.

After breakfast.

Chen Lao was smoking welding fumes, and grabbed Li Che.

He tapped the ash from his smoke pipe, his murky eyes holding a hint of hope.

"A-Che..."

"Help me, Old Chen, I want to see blood."
