Most likely only that plain-clothed national master, Xie Yunshen.

"If he personally leads troops here..."

"Fang Hanshu placed the Sage Book he held on the desk, his fingers lightly tapping."

"Lü Taibai's mouth twitched: 'Grand Elder, we haven't even rebelled yet, so we can't speak of a punitive expedition...'"

"Besides, we just stay inside the mountain gate of Qianyuan Divine Sect, doing nothing; the emperor couldn't find an excuse to act against Qianyuan Divine Sect unless he uses A Che's identity as the Underworld's Horse-Face as a pretext to launch a punitive expedition."

"Otherwise, we Qianyuan Divine Sect are honest and law-abiding; what basis does the Dàjǐng court have to punish us?"

"Lü Taibai, however, calmed down."

"Originally he was the anxious one, but seeing Xixi and Fang Hanshu, talking about rebellion as if each were more eager than the last, Lü Taibai had no choice but to ease the atmosphere."

"Honest and law-abiding?"

"Fang Hanshu, upon hearing this, lightly chuckled."

"Sect Master..."

"You haven't noticed that Dao Master Yue Huanglong hasn't returned yet? And that Commander of the Divine Guard Army, Yan Jing... they most likely have lost their lives."

"Both of them are court officials; their deaths will definitely be blamed on our Qianyuan Divine Sect... Even without the matter of Elder Li, the court could easily find a pretext."

"Besides..."

"Fang Hanshu flicked his finger, sending Xixi out of the Taibai Hall."

"Then, looking at Lü Taibai, he took out a wooden box."

"A rich smell of blood instantly permeated the Taibai Hall."

"Lü Taibai startled, then saw Fang Hanshu open the wooden box, revealing a head inside—none other than the son of Dao Master Yue Huanglong, Yue Weizheng."

"Yue Huanglong and Yan Jing... must have followed up, intending to ambush our Qianyuan Divine Sect's fleet midway."

"So, he wanted to live, but I wouldn't allow it..."

"Now."

"Qianyuan Dao City..."

"It already belongs to our Qianyuan Divine Sect."

"Fang Hanshu smiled."

"……"

"……"

"Mo City, Fengdu!"

"The scorching qi and blood surged like a rolling wave, as if a blazing sun rose within Fengdu, evaporating countless ink rains."

"Thud thud thud!"

"Thud thud thud thud!"

"Within his chest, the 【Dragon-Elephant Vajra】 Dao Fruit was violently throbbing with insane frenzy."

"The stomach walls continually writhed, releasing immense power that slowly refined the swallowed millennia-old true dragon blood peach."

"The energy contained within the millennia-old true dragon blood peach was excessively massive."

"Li Che wanted to refine it in a short time, but it was not an easy task."

"However, Li Che, having returned to Qianyuan Dao City, was no longer so anxious; he planned to spend some time, gradually refining the energy of the millennia peach completely clean."

"Strive to open the golden pool of the qi sea to ten thousand zhang!"

"Martial Sage Second Opening, ten-thousand-zhang qi sea!"

"Having reached the pinnacle of Martial Sage Second Opening, Li Che also began to seek the mountain path to assault the Martial Sage Third Opening mountain trail."

"For Li Che as he is now, opening seven Qimen divine seeds is enough to contend with top-tier apex experts; if combined with the Dao Yin Victory Heaven Dao Domain, there is even a possibility to slay such top-tier apex experts."

"However, against a half-step God Tribulation, there is no possibility of slaying the opponent, as a half-step God Tribulation has already been able to shake off the heavenly might influence of the Victory Heaven Dao Domain."

"Therefore, Li Che must continue to grow stronger and cannot halt his steps."

"As the Grand Supervisor and the boss said, he is still not strong enough, far from enough; to protect Xixi, he needs to stand at the pinnacle of the three realms..."

"He can't even kill a half-step God Tribulation... He isn't even the pinnacle of the mortal realm, so how could he stop strengthening his steps?"

"Li Che has long been clear about Xixi's special nature."

"Whether it's the karmic-bound Dao Tree that Xixi was bound to at birth, or the latent other consciousness within her, suspected to be the soul of the Hell Lotus Maiden."

"All of this makes Xixi exceedingly special, and being special inevitably invites covetousness."

"Therefore, Li Che must grow stronger; this has become a conviction that sustains him."

"Even this conviction took root in Li Che's heart at the very moment his daughter was born."

"If he wishes to quietly watch his daughter grow up safe and sound."

"Only by making himself capable of disregarding all threats can he do so."

"Hoo—"

"Inhale—"

"Li Che's body was completely enveloped by the golden qi and blood transformed Dragon-Elephant Crucible, as if an extremely scorching temperature were burning everything."

"Li Che's physical body was undergoing a subtle, imperceptible change."

"That was the metamorphosis of the pure martial body."

"【Dragon-Elephant Crucible: Pure Martial Purity (93%)】"

"As the energy of the millennia peach was digested, the pure martial purity continued to rise, gradually creating a separation between divinity and flesh like well water not interfering with river water."

"Li Che did not know what kind of change his flesh would undergo after the pure martial purity transformation was complete."

"But Li Che knew it would only make his martial path more refined and stronger, which was enough."

"Boom—rumble—rumble!"

"With a stir of heart and mind, it was as if within a furnace, he clenched his fist, thrust it forward, and tempered his martial way."

The golden qi-blood hidden within his body was driven by an invisible force, like a millstone turning wheels, a heavy creaking sound arose, rumbling.

His spine roared like a true dragon, twisting, and upon it the wondrous gate divine seeds spun wildly!

The seven wondrous gate divine seeds seemed to transform into seven qi-blood vortices!

Boom——!!!

The vortices spun together, roaring, causing Li Che's terrifying aura and qi-blood to sweep up and rush into the heavens.

Hummm——

Countless sword lights burst forth from all around Li Che.

Li Che was executing that final wondrous gate martial art.

Six Desires Slay Evil Pure Yang Sword Art!

This is a martial art that can simultaneously refine both divinity and martial dao.

It can become divine martial, or pure martial!

The Slay Evil Pure Yang Sword Art perfectly matched Li Che's currently extremely pure martial qi-blood.

Li Che let out a long whistle.

Bang bang bang——

Terrifying explosions continually burst from his flesh, invisible qi-blood ripples forming rings that spread outward.

His body suddenly shot up, growing to 2.5 meters, burly and sturdy, his back stacked with terrifying muscles like blocks, as if forged steel.

Sword qi raged and intertwined, shooting skyward, howling wildly, like a tornado!

Clashing sword qi surged and impacted, churning throughout the entire Mo City.

Li Che without hesitation applied the enlightenment feedback from the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Dao Fruit.

The Dao Fruit enlightenment feedback gained from slaying the three top apex azure dragons, Li Che did not hold back, but unleashed it at this moment.

Li Che's martial will gradually rose, as if a deity loomed in the void, the manifestation of a person's will extremely refined, like the birth of a martial god.

At this moment.

The entire Mo City seemed to be shrouded by an awe-inspiring terror.

Li Che's heaven-human will continually rose, as if enacting the ultimate martial dao.

The sword light clanged, spanning like a golden peacock's tail feathers, bursting forth between Li Che's fingers.

Lü Xuan Sword Immortal's Slay Evil Pure Yang Sword Art!

In an instant, the air seemed to be sliced apart, erupting with a soundless collapse.

Then, a golden sword light split into six, actually bursting forth with six-colored sword lights!

Like a dream and illusion, yet within the illusion lay extremely terrifying carnage!

Wondrous gate martial art, Six Desires Slay Evil Pure Yang Sword Art……

Transformation Realm!

Metamorphosis, becoming a true martial deity!

The eighth wondrous gate martial art has reached the Transformation Realm!

Boom!

Six sword lights flashed out in an instant, sweeping like six divine lights, sweeping everything into annihilation!

The ultimate boiling, scorching sword qi, blazing brightly!

Within Li Che's stomach, massive energy was mobilized, surging madly, continually flowing into his flesh and qi sea.

Five thousand zhang!

Li Che's aura continued to rise!

The ground of Mo City seemed to be continually plowed by a divine blade, forming huge trenches!

Bang bang bang——

The bodily great elixir violently trembled, terrifying amounts of essence surging like a breached mountain-sea dam, evaporating all rain in Mo City.

Li Che hovered in midair, enveloped by the Dragon Elephant Cauldron.

The entire Mo City seemed to have turned into broad daylight.

"Exhale——"

"Inhale——"

With each exhale and inhale, the breath rolled forth scorching hot, like the essence dragon roiling, the fervent qi-blood shifting without rest.

Thus using the flesh as a furnace, and the Dragon Elephant Cauldron as another furnace, doubly tempered!

The ten-thousand-year peach, like sodium hitting water, underwent a rapid explosive reaction!

Expanding the golden pool of the qi sea!

Li Che's mind and spirit seemed to have completely sunk into it.

Within Mo City, every thought was devoted to cultivation.

He was not in a hurry to return to the Gan Yuan Dao City.

Now within Gan Yuan Dao City reside the two top experts Lü Taibai and Fang Hanshu, holding the fort, absolutely very safe.

Xixi's safety need not be worried about.

Although the Gan Yuan Divine Sect has provoked the Dàjǐng court.

Perhaps it will invite a punitive expedition from Dàjǐng.

But certainly not that quickly; to launch a punitive expedition against a divine sect is absolutely not an easy task.

Thus Li Che can peacefully assault higher realms within Mo City!

Time trickled away.

The furnace seemed to have inexhaustible burning energy.

Plus the enlightenment feedback from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Che used this feedback to search for a mountain path within the gradually expanding golden pool.

As everyone knows.

Martial Saint's Second Opening, opening the Qi Sea.

But, the larger the Qi Sea opens, the more difficult it becomes to open a mountain path in the Martial Saint's Third Opening realm, because in the ever more boundless vast sea, wanting to find a mountain path makes the difficulty far greater than before.

And Li Che's ten-thousand-zhang Qi Sea Golden Pool…

Wanting to find the mountain path, the difficulty will be even greater!

Within Mo City, day and night are indistinguishable.

Unknowingly, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Che only felt that the ten-thousand-year peach in his stomach had been completely refined, all its energy exhausted.

And Li Che's Qi Sea Golden Pool above his head had already swollen and expanded to an extremely terrifying extent.

Ten-thousand-zhang Qi Sea Golden Pool!

Fully achieved!

But Li Che had not yet awakened; his whole person was like a golden crow in the blazing sun, hovering within the Dragon Elephant cauldron, sitting cross-legged, falling into a period of confusion searching for the mountain path.

This is a period of confusion that every Martial Saint will experience.

Having found one's own path, mount the mountain road, begin to part the thick mist, and climb straight up the mountain!

Some people search their whole lives and never find it, falling from confusion into loss, completely halting at the Martial Saint's Second Opening Qi Sea realm.

While some people find the mountain path, yet they cannot cross the Qi Sea to ascend their martial mountain.

Whether Li Che can find his martial mountain.

No one knows.

Even Li Che himself does not know.

Ten-thousand-zhang Qi Sea Golden Pool, vast and boundless.

Searching for the mountain is like searching for an immortal.

……

……

Wind and rain suddenly arrived.

The bean-sized raindrops pattering down continually smashed into the ground, shattering into pieces.

Gan Yuan Dao City.

The atmosphere of the entire Dao City became extremely strange, following Lü Taibai bringing the disciples of the Gan Yuan Divine Sect back from Shendu.

The news from Shendu also followed closely in its return.

The junior sect master of the Gan Yuan Divine Sect, Li Nuanxi, at the Peach Banquet Assembly in Shendu, suppressed the young dragons of all the divine sects, becoming the champion of the Young Dragon Assembly!

And the Fifth Elder of the God Eagle Ridge, the God Eagle Half-Saint Li Che, at the Heroes' Assembly, overwhelmed the ten divine sects of Dàjǐng, the eminent monks of the Western Regions' Buddhist lands, the descendants of the great witches of Witch God Mountain, and other Martial Saint powerhouses!

Becoming the champion of the Heroes' Assembly!

Gan Yuan Dao City occupied both champions of the Peach Banquet Assembly!

The news returned like a storm, causing the entire Gan Yuan Dao City to erupt in an uproar.

Everyone was plunged into shock, and even more shocking was that the emperor actually bestowed a marriage upon the Gan Yuan junior sect master at the Peach Banquet Assembly, wishing to make the junior sect master the crown prince consort, but Lü Taibai refused……

Even a great battle broke out in Shendu, which is why the early return occurred.

Whooo—

The heavy rain poured down, striking the Divine Guard Army's stationed military tent.

Rainwater accumulated on the ground, forming a thick layer, continually trampled into pieces by the armored soldiers.

Inside the main tent.

The four great generals of the Gan Yuan Dao City Divine Guard Army all gathered here.

Western Camp General Han Qizhong, Eastern Camp General Yuan Wují, Southern Camp General She Longdao, and Northern Camp General Dai Qingxiao!

The four great generals gathered together; inside the main tent, only the sound of the charcoal stove boiling water, bubbling and gurgling, remained.

After a long while, the silence was broken.

"Does the Gan Yuan Divine Sect… want to rebel?!"

A hoarse voice came from She Longdao's mouth.

"Daoist Yue, the Grand Marshal, and… the Junior Dao Master have been missing for a long time."

"And now, Fang Hanshu has invited us four to ascend the mountain gate of the Gan Yuan Divine Sect… his ambition is blatantly obvious!"

"Isn't this obvious? The news returned from Shendu shows that Lü Taibai has turned against His Majesty, and even sooner… an army to suppress the Gan Yuan Divine Sect may be at the city's gates."

Yuan Wují wore armor, a scar on his forehead making him look somewhat ferocious.

"But that's for later; Fang Hanshu summons us to the divine sect… if you don't go, perhaps tomorrow we can only meet in the netherworld."

"Within the Dao City, the Yun, Zhou, and Zhong families have clearly declared they will follow the Gan Yuan Divine Sect's lead……"

"Fang Hanshu is trying to completely control the Dao City……"

"I suspect the Junior Dao Master… has been murdered."

"Damn it… if the Dao Master and the Grand Marshal were here, we would just follow the charge."

Dai Qingxiao clenched his fist.

The four great generals exchanged a glance, then all let out a long sigh.

Han Qizhong stood up, his armor clanking: "I'll go to the Garrison Office to ask the opinions of Governor Yuwen and Governor Feng……"

"No need to ask the Bureau of Astronomy; it's naturally aligned with the Gan Yuan Divine Sect side, we can only pin our hopes on the Garrison Office."

Han Qizhong clung to his final thought.

After chatting with the other three senior generals, he plunged headfirst into the rain curtain.

Temple Suppression Office building.

Feng Zhiqi returned from the Guiyi Miao, his expression solemn; beside him stood a dazed Yuwen Wenlong.

The Qian Yuan Divine Sect and the Dàjǐng court turned against each other.

And the Temple Suppression Office, too, belongs to the court's forces; what choice should they make?

"Governor, the Western Camp General of the Divine Guard Army, Han Qizhong, has come to pay a visit……"

"A divine envoy clasped his fists and said."

"Feng Zhiqi wore a green robe that outlined his stalwart build: 'Let him in.'"

Moments later, the soaking-wet Han Qizhong entered the Temple Suppression Office building.

Han Qizhong's face grim, he recounted to Feng Zhiqi and Yuwen Wenlong the current state of Dao City.

Yuwen Wenlong felt somewhat bewildered—how did the situation in Qian Yuan Dao City become so tense, swords drawn and bows strung, all of a sudden?

The Qian Yuan Divine Sect……

Do they intend to pit the strength of a single sect against the Dàjǐng court?

Feng Zhiqi's expression was solemn, a majestic pressure to the extreme constantly surging.

Han Qizhong, clad in armor with fists clasped, awaited a reply.

However, after a moment.

Only a faint sigh could be heard.

"The grand elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, Fang Hanshu…… Don't mistake him for a mere scholar; in truth…… scholars are the most ruthless."

"Since the Qian Yuan Divine Sect has fallen out with the Dàjǐng court, they must surely seek to fully seize and control the power of Qian Yuan Dao City……"

"Yue Huanglong and Yan Jing, when Lu Taibai and the others entered Shendu, secretly slipped out together."

"Later I received news that a great battle erupted on the Grand Canal—the Corpse God Sect, the Dragon God Clan, and the Heavenly Elixir Divine Sect; various strongmen launched a siege, but all failed, and Lord Yue and Yan Jing likely perished in that fight."

"Without those two, how can the government forces of Qian Yuan Dao City hope to oppose the sect?"

Feng Zhiqi shook his head.

"How could I possibly manage relying solely on myself?"

"Besides, I don't want to die either."

Feng Zhiqi said in a deep voice.

His words fell.

Han Qizhong and Yuwen Wenlong both looked over.

Yet they saw Feng Zhiqi slowly rise to his feet; a terrifying aura rumbled on his body, a clattering sound exploded, phenomena in the qi sea stretched across, and within the qi sea mountains rose from the sea, sharp as spears.

The aura of the Martial Saint's Three Openings fully erupted within the Temple Suppression Office, rumbling and shaking.

On his stalwart frame, powerful gusts raged like a frantic dance of silk.

Feng Zhiqi's eyes shone brightly.

"But I… after all, I am an official of Dàjǐng, a court‑appointed official."

Feng Zhiqi slowly lifted his head.

He exhaled a breath.

"I'll go to the sect's mountain gate for a walk……"

"I'll go seek a bout of my martial way."

"If I fail to break through and die in battle, then so be it……"

"If I succeed in breaking through and shatter the fetters, that means my fate is not to end; then we… shall surrender."

"If we surrender to those petty sects like the Heavenly Elixir Divine Sect, Seven Treasures Divine Sect, and Grand Righteous Academy, I, Feng Zhiqi, would certainly not accept."

Feng Zhiqi's eyes burst forth with brilliant golden light as he swept his gaze over Han Qizhong and Yuwen Wenlong; his eyes deep: "You and I have guarded Qian Yuan Dao City for so many years—we naturally know the conduct of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, never bullying with power."

"Thus, joining Qian Yuan, what's wrong with that?"

Han Qizhong and Yuwen Wenlong only felt their eardrums as if blasted by thunder, a stinging pain.

In a moment of dazedness.

Feng Zhiqi had already walked out of the Temple Suppression Office.

He took a step.

Terrifying qi and blood sank and condensed, like smoke bands wrapping, flesh like glazed porcelain, bones like gold.

His aura extraordinary, his breath unrivaled!

With a step down, the floor of the Temple Suppression Office shuddered violently.

Feng Zhiqi's whole being erupted with blazing battle intent, boiling and charging into the clouds, exploding a mass of qi‑blood golden light, heading on foot toward the mountain gate of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

The Governor of the Temple Suppression Office, Feng Zhiqi!

The mighty martial artist of the Martial Saint's Three Openings is extremely renowned throughout Qian Yuan Dao City.

At this moment, Feng Zhiqi erupted his aura, charging straight toward the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Many people guessed what was happening.

Swish swish swish—

The sound of breaking air echoed without cease.

The divine embryos and martial saint patriarchs of the great clans shot up into the sky, filled with curiosity, rushing toward the sect's mountain gate.

Qian Yuan Divine Sect, at the foot of the mountain.

The plaque of Heaven and Earth flickered with a faint radiance.

Rainwater scoured the mountain terrace stone path, the stream murmuring.

Inside Supreme White Peak.

Lu Taibai's silver hair flew and his white robes fluttered as he walked out with Fang Hanshu; Feng Zhiqi's aura was unmistakable, and both of them sensed it.

Fang Hanshu stroked his magnificent beard: "Feng Zhiqi is about to make his final choice."

"He has been stuck at the third opening of the Martial Saint realm for many years."

"He intends to use this battle to decide his future path: live and he will submit; die and all will naturally come to an end."

"He certainly has resolve."

Fang Hanshu laughed.

Lu Taibai narrowed his eyes: "This Feng Zhiqi is indeed quite good..."

His wide sleeves billowed as sword qi surged.

"Feng Zhiqi wants to break through; he needs at least an accomplished martial artist to fight him, and Old Zhao simply isn't enough."

"Are you going to make a move?"

Lu Taibai looked toward Fang Hanshu.

Yet Fang Hanshu, with a strange expression, shook his head: "I don't need to act, nor do you, because someone will step forward..."

Lu Taibai raised his eyebrows, then his eyes lit up.

Because, at the mountain's base.

On the rain-cleansed, immaculate stone path behind the Heaven-Earth Plaque of the Primordial Divine Sect.

At some point, a figure clad in a black robe stood with hands behind his back.

"A Che? Has he come out of seclusion?"

Lu Taibai was delighted.

Since Li Che returned to Primordial Dao City, he departed with a group from the Underworld, and no one knows where they went.

Xixi and Zhang Ya had long been worrying about Li Che's safety.

And now, Li Che's return allowed even Lu Taibai's heart to relax a little.

However, Lu Taibai suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He and Fang Hanshu shot up into the clouds, their senses spreading as they looked toward the mountain gate.

"Is Li Che planning to... confront Feng Zhiqi with martial arts?"

Lu Taibai focused his mind and said.

He naturally knows Li Che's martial cultivation is actually not low either.

But...

He has only reached the second opening of the Martial Saint.

Going up against Feng Zhiqi would still be quite a struggle.

However, if Li Che were to use his divine cultivation and half-step peerless mechanism, he could easily win.

But looking at Li Che's posture, it's clear he doesn't intend to use his divine power or the mechanism.

Because Li Che stood before the mountain gate, his golden qi and blood slowly began to surge.

Is this his rhythm for confronting Feng Zhiqi with martial arts?

Fang Hanshu's magnificent beard flowed wildly in the wind as he lifted his head to gaze at the firmament.

"Half-Saint Li... is he about to enter the Martial Saint realm?"

Fang Hanshu said.

Lu Taibai also raised his eyes, his pupils constricting.

He saw the black clouds piling up in the firmament, tribulation lightning roiling, with thunderclaps roaring within.

Martial Saint Heavenly Thunder!

Genuine Martial Saint Heavenly Thunder!

But... Li Che isn't he already a Martial Saint?!

Lu Taibai couldn't help but feel doubtful.

In the Martial Saint realm, each major stage has only one tribulation; unlike Martial Gods or Divine Tribulation cultivators, they undergo the Three Calamities and pass the Nine Tribulations, with each breakthrough requiring a tribulation to be crossed.

Fang Hanshu's gaze, however, was burning.

"Ancient texts record that pure martial arts have a limit; if a pure martial practitioner touches that limit, intending to transform into a Martial Immortal, it is a defiant act that provokes the heavens, which will surely send down heavenly thunder."

…… -> No.

…… -> No.

Gush—

Between heaven and earth, the atmosphere became oppressively tense.

An archway and a plaque separated the inside and outside of the mountain gate.

Feng Zhiqi stood outside the mountain gate of the Primordial Divine Sect, his eyes sharp, his hair flying, as he gazed upon the black-robed figure standing beyond the plaque.

"Half-Saint Li?"

Feng Zhiqi's eyes flickered, his qi and blood surging.

He lifted his head and saw rolling tribulation clouds as dark as ink.

"Half-Saint Li... are you about to break into the Martial Saint realm? Congratulations."

Feng Zhiqi said lightly.

Li Che closed his eyes and entered seclusion for over a month, finally completing the verification of his own martial path.

A ten‑thousand‑zhang golden pool of qi and blood, he touched the limit of pure martial.

He felt the aura of the tribulation.

Therefore, Li Che returned.

He happened to meet Feng Zhiqi, who wished to pay homage to the mountain.

"Li Half-Saint… you have just broken through into Martial Saint; your mind and spirit will experience a period of inflated illusion caused by the sudden surge of bodily strength."

"So, if you want to stop me, Feng Zhiqi, do not let this ruin your martial heart."

Feng Zhiqi kindly reminded.

Feng Zhiqi's target… is Lü Taibai.

The Qian Yuan Divine Sect—only Lü Taibai, this supreme pinnacle, can make him feel the pressure and then assault the Four Openings Supreme Peak!

Face life and death head-on!

Crack-crack——!!!

Heavenly thunder rumbles, its angry roar unceasing!

Feng Zhiqi's words drew no response from Li Che, who remained standing with eyes closed, like a divine eagle sculpture, motionless.

This made him involuntarily furrow his brows slightly.

Suddenly…

Feng Zhiqi's blue robe sleeves, like a blade, shredded the raindrops and air, and then he took a step.

He landed on the stone steps of the mountain path.

However…

At the moment he had just set down a step.

Feng Zhiqi's pupils involuntarily shrank sharply!

He raised his head…

He looked in disbelief at the black-clothed figure standing on the mountainside path.

Yet he saw Li Che slowly open his eyes.

Two streams of golden smoke rose from his pupils like beacon fires!

Then.

His pupils shifted ever so slightly, landing on Feng Zhiqi.

In an instant——

Feng Zhiqi then felt……

His own leg for climbing the mountain.

Could not move!
