Nan Lihuo crushed the white chess piece left to him by the Bull Demon.


    It signified that the action was about to begin.


    Li Che sat in the carriage, jolting forward, an Imperial Astronomical Observatory carriage, noticeably less comfortable than the last ride he took to Divine Carving Ridge in the Gong Family''s carriage.


    Gazing at the constantly passing scenery outside the window.


    Li Che''s eyebrows slightly raised.


    Killing Wang Kuyu was no easy task, seeing that Wang Kuyu''s cultivation was extraordinarily strong.


    Add to that a Divine Archery Art nearing the Transformation Realm, his difficulty level was not weaker than any Cultivator at the Yuanxiang Realm.


    Thus, since Nan Lihuo planned to act, he certainly needed to have at least an eighty percent confidence in killing Wang Kuyu before he made his move.


    Li Che leaned on the soft cushion of the carriage.


    His fingers lightly tapping on the table.


    Then, the corners of his lips curled into a slight, lifted arc.


    If the Sect Master was confident...


    Then this Wang Kuyu naturally had to be killed!


    Across from Li Che, Gong Yunli was eating candied fruit, casually chatting with Li Che.


    "A Che, I am quite curious, how exactly did you impress Tang Ridge Master? Was it really by talent?"


    Gong Yunli propped up her smooth chin with one hand while letting her chest rest on the table for comfort, and asked curiously.


    She still hadn''t guessed that Li Che was the Bull Demon.


    Her clear eyes betrayed her foolishness.


    Li Che''s mouth twitched.


    After responding casually to Gong Yunli for a few sentences, Li Che found an excuse saying he needed to get out of the carriage for some air.


    Gong Yunli, hearing this, did not refuse.


    The [Fire-Eye Mystical Awe Spirit Monkey] Mysterious Temple was not far from Golden Light Prefecture City.


    Located in the area of Heart Monkey Temple, it was roughly only half an hour''s ride; getting out of the carriage to breathe in the air and enjoy the snow scenery was also fine during this period.


    The snowscape by the Nine Dragons River Bank, though diminished since the river water could not freeze, has a particular winter charm due to the steaming mist. Read latest stories on empire


    It had a flavor all its own.


    Gong Yunli also put on her fox fur cloak, stepped out of the carriage for some air, looking at the surging river water, her mood couldn''t help but improve.


    Li Che glanced at her, activated the Heaven and Earth chessboard, and shielded the Divine Sense perception.


    Wang Kuyu stretched out his hand and tapped Nan Lihuo, his face completely expressing his resignation.


    "You rascal, still as cunning as ever, enjoying setting up your senior brother..."


    "Didn''t senior brother often cover for me back in the days?"


    Nan Lihuo stood up, his white silk robe fluttering in the breeze, and the wind within made his sleeves billow like inflated bellows.


    "Then, help your junior brother once more?"


    Wang Kuyu leaned back in his chair, his face full of bitterness.


    "This Golden Light Prefecture... I shouldn''t have come, the moment I arrive I get treated like a beast of burden by you!"


    "Last time suppressing the Four Royal Mysterious Temples, this time... helping you keep house!"


    Nan Lihuo''s lips curled into a smile, "Then, senior brother... will you kill someone for me?"


    The Taoist did not hesitate for a second, immediately shaking his head like a rattle drum.


    "I never kill people!"


    "Don''t look to me for this matter."


    Wang Kuyu said hurriedly.


    The smile gradually faded from Nan Lihuo''s face.


    "Senior brother... sometimes... you don''t kill, but others will want to kill you..."


    "You are too kind."


    "In this world, kindness... is not always a good thing."


    Nan Lihuo said earnestly.


    Wang Kuyu waved his hand, "Alas, I am such a person, and I only dare to act fierce toward my little fatty disciple... Just be careful, junior brother."


    "I just came to see you, fearing that if wait too many years, I won''t be able to see you anymore."


    Nan Lihuo smiled warmly.


    Without saying much.


    His gaze turned toward the grand Golden Light Peak square.


    Watching those Divine Sect Spirit Children, Divine Children.


    Watching that direct disciple Xi Xi, hands on hips, proudly protruding her little belly.


    His eyes flashed a touch of softness.


    "Senior brother... you''re just in time to help me keep a good watch and evaluate Xi Xi''s talent, being listed on the Dao City Prodigy Leaderboard, she must have received approval from the Inspector of the Imperial Heavenly Observatory of Dao City."
