The next moment, his figure merged directly into the darkness.


    A white Thunder Chess Piece emerged in the palm of his hand, which he clenched fiercely, and in an instant, he vanished without a trace!


    Lin Xiu turned his head abruptly, his gaze following the direction where the Bull Demon had disappeared.


    "What a masterful teleportation technique, my Divine Sense locked on at all times, and yet I failed to perceive any spatial fluctuations. The Bull Demon has disappeared nonetheless. I can''t even determine whether he left by concealing his breath or by teleportation,"


    Lin Xiu took a deep breath. The Bull Demon... and that assassin from a thousand miles, Horse Face, had piqued his curiosity.


    Li Qingshan, on the other hand, felt resigned. Everyone has their big secrets.


    Although Li Che came from Fei Lei City and was born a country bumpkin, he obviously had secrets hidden.


    Li Qingshan even narrowed his eyes slightly. Was Li Che... really born a country bumpkin?


    Could a country bumpkin father a child of such a Divine Child''s caliber?


    Could he have cultivated to such a realm in such a short time?


    He shook his head and didn''t dwell on these thoughts too much.


    Li Qingshan trusted his judgement of people. Whether Li Che or the Bull Demon, as long as he wasn''t someone extremely vicious and evil, that was enough.


    In a lifetime, who doesn''t have a few secrets?


    Lin Xiu and Li Qingshan then shot forth as well, disappearing into the night.


    ...


    ...


    Golden Light Peak.


    Shrine Grand Hall.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    The Treasure Pagoda suspended in mid-air, with Golden Light flickering; it seemed as though ten thousand rays burst forth from within, making the Buddha statues engraved upon it look lifelike, as if they had come to life.


    An extremely oppressive aura enveloped the entire grand hall, making it difficult for one to breathe.


    Nan Lihuo stood solemnly, his white robe clinging tightly to his body, buffeted by the gale''s violent currents, standing with his hands behind his back, and his gaze piercing.


    Beneath him stood Liu Yangyuan and Sang Guanyin, both quietly standing with hands down, their eyes also showing amazement.


    "Little junior sister... She''s really okay?"


    Sang Guanyin couldn''t help but ask, concerned about Xi Xi.


    "It costs you your lives."


    Nan Lihuo looked towards Liu Yangyuan and Sang Guanyin, his voice as gentle as ever.


    ...


    ...


    Xi Xi felt somewhat dizzy.


    "Mommy... save Xi Xi, please..."


    "Stinky daddy, where are you?"


    "Xi Xi is going to be taken away, daddy, hurry and save Xi Xi!"


    ...


    At first, Xi Xi was very scared in her heart, nearly calling out to everyone she could think of.


    Even Lu Chi received the treatment of being called out.


    However, as the dizziness faded, Xi Xi slowly opened her tightly shut eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, still wet with tears.


    She looked around curiously; thick smoke swirled, with purple mist, white cranes spreading their wings, and the sound of flowing water babbling.


    The air was incredibly fresh; just one deep breath felt as though her entire being had been purified and sublimated.


    "Is this the Underworld that daddy mentioned? The place people go to after they die?"


    Xi Xi blinked her eyes, slowly getting up from the ground.


    She took small, toddling steps and began to waddle around.


    The ground was very clean, without a speck of dust, which made Xi Xi feel that even if she took off her shoes, and jumped around barefoot, her feet wouldn''t get dirty.


    If she walked around barefoot at home and got her feet dirty, she''d get a spanking from stinky daddy and wouldn''t be allowed to jump on the bed.


    "Wow... such pretty flowers."


    Xi Xi was no longer scared as before; perhaps it was the serenity of the place that made her feel beautiful inside.


    Looking at the many beautiful flowers growing along the path, her eyes sparkled, and she even saw colorful little butterflies flitting their wings, dancing among the flowers.


    It seemed the butterflies sensed Xi Xi''s presence, flying over and dancing around her, and even as they fluttered, "bling bling", it was as if fairy dust sprinkled down.


    This fairy dust, falling on Xi Xi''s body, actually made the blood in her veins surge, and her Martial Cultivation level, which had reached Major Accomplishment in Bone Tempering, was slowly improving.
