As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

"Teacher, let me kill you."

There was a hint of madness, a hint of recklessness.

Zhou Chiguo, or rather Zhou Daoyuan, had eyes of glassy crimson, bursting with extreme fighting intent and obsession.

It was as if, if his teacher said to kill Li Che, he would go to all lengths to kill Li Che, even at the cost of his life, he wouldn't hesitate!

Such arrogant and fierce words.

Li Che's brow slightly furrowed, looking at the person in front of him, hailing from Golden Light Prefecture... Zhou Daoyuan.

This name felt inexplicably familiar.

"Zhou Daoyuan..."

"Are you called Zhou Daoyuan?"

Li Che raised an eyebrow, seemingly recalling where he had heard this name before.

"Are you a disciple of Nan Lihuo?"

Li Che looked at the young man with glassy crimson eyes in front of him and asked.

He finally remembered this name; it was Xi Xi's senior brother at the Qian Yuan Divine Sect branch in Golden Light Prefecture...

Nan Lihuo's disciple, who repeatedly wanted to speak but refrained.

"Master Li Huo..."

The youth's crimson eyes seemed to display a trace of nostalgia, a trace of confusion, and a trace of wavering...

But soon, the crimson color flourished, suppressing all these emotions of confusion and wavering.

He became as calm as a still pond, turning into a cold sneer.

"Just a waste."

"With cultivation no more than Elemental Appearance, how could he be worthy of being my master, Zhou Daoyuan?"

"No, this world no longer has Zhou Daoyuan, only... Zhou Chiguo."

The young man, resting the White Jade Pipa on the ground, said calmly, his voice growing colder.

He abandoned his past identity and embraced the current name.

This name, like a belief, was etched deep in his soul, driving him to embrace and cultivate it with his life!

Li Che, looking at Zhou Chiguo, couldn't help but also turn cold.

"Nan Lihuo told me you were dead."

"Now it seems... you're not dead, but pretty much the same."

"Some people are alive, but they are more dead than dead, and that's you."

Li Che's black, vigorous hair rustled loudly.

Zhou Chiguo, hearing this, laughed heartily, shaking his head indifferently.

Around the Divine Palace.

The Immortal Divine Sculptures all began to shimmer with brilliance!

It was as if endless starlight was cascading down, like the stars shifting, all taking their positions.

The intentions contained within these Immortal Temples came from cultivators of the various Great Divine Sects.

They specifically came to witness the spectacle.

Li Che easily defeated the foremost hero of the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, effortlessly claiming two consecutive victories, with that nearly invincible Divine Embryo Dharma Form...

This had already shocked many people, as no one expected a newly advanced Divine Embryo Realm elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect to possess such powerful combat power.

And the widely discussed wager seemed to be growing more complicated following the display of Li Che's unparalleled combat prowess.

Perhaps...

The bet between the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Master Lv Taibai and the Six Great Divine Sects' Sect Masters might not be a losing gamble at all!

However, the crowd that came to watch the spectacle mainly focused on the combatants.

Because facing Li Che of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect this time was none other than Ji Moli's disciple...

Zhou Chiguo, one of Ji Moli's four disciples!

This made many anticipate the battle eagerly.

The conflict between Ji Moli and the Qian Yuan Divine Sect was not unknown to many.

Ji Moli's youngest son, Ji Haihui, died on the Lingnan Circuit, and the Dragon Queen Consort he married from the Dragon God Clan also died in Qianyuan Taoist City...

Upon investigation, many found that these incidents seem vaguely connected to the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Therefore, this battle... is not just about a wager; it even involves personal emotion!

It's a pity for the honest and forthright Li Half-Saint.

With Li Che's consecutive victories, defeating the two foremost heroes of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect and the Seven Treasures Divine Sect, Li Che's reputation was gradually rising.

This half-saint from a small city, rising to such heights...

His achievements shook the entire Divine Capital!

Especially in the Lower Three Cities of the Divine Capital, the Ninth City, the Eighth City, and the Seventh City, the cultivators and commoners aspiring and striving all received great encouragement.

Although they could not enter the Divine Palace to witness the clash, they could look forward to the recounts of this battle in various teahouses.

Lv Taibai, descended by an attached god, had a touch of solemnity in his eyes.

"Zhou Chiguo... Ji Moli's third disciple, similar to You Liqing, is a very focused disciple, quite different from Su Huaili."

"Ji Moli had five disciples, with the youngest disciple being Su Huaili, who died in Dao City, and the fourth being You Liqing, who also died in Dao City..."

"But You Liqing was the Top Three Flowers Grandmaster, and Ji Moli had high hopes for him, planning to recall him after he broke through as a Martial Saint... unfortunately, he was killed by the Underworld."

Lv Taibai explained with narrowed eyes to those around him.

"Zhou Chiguo is different, having long broken through as a Martial Saint and Divine Fetus, cultivated with great cost by Ji Moli... now, he has even received Ji Moli's bloodline baptism!"

"After Ji Lishou's death, he was cultivated as the fourth son."

Lv Taibai said solemnly.

"The current Zhou Chiguo... after receiving Ji Moli's bloodline baptism, should be stronger than before."

"This will be a tough battle!"

The members of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect felt a slight heaviness in their hearts.

Especially Zhang Ya, who could not help but feel nervous, knowing that her opponent this time was associated with Ji Moli.

Zhang Ya actually had a shadow regarding Ji Moli, the King Ping Luan.
