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

Chapter 1620: Chapter 427: Purgatory Opens, Earthly Hell’s Evil Welcomes the Ghost Emperor; The State Preceptor Is the Imperial Court’s Loyal Dragon God—Believe Me [Monthly Ticket Requested]

Cloud Palace.

The Emperor’s face was a blur of divinity and qi-blood, seated at the main desk, he was reviewing the memorials.

After some time, he set down the documents in hand.

Purple-clothed Eunuch Lian respectfully walked over.

"These days, the State Preceptor has led the army to Qianyuan Taoist City for a campaign, how goes the battle? So many masters went, even the Old Dragon God of the Dragon God Lineage went, yet there’s been no sign of movement?"

The Emperor stood up, shook his bright yellow robe.

He walked out of the Cloud Palace with Eunuch Lian, strolling along the long corridor, the cold air drifted softly along the corridor, flakes like grains of rice, whipped by the wind, quickly darted inside from outside.

"Your Majesty, there has been no news from the State Preceptor’s side, it’s heard that he’s organizing the troops, waiting for an opportunity."

Eunuch Lian kept his head low, hands obediently.

"Waiting for an opportunity?"

The Emperor sneered.

"What is Xie Yushen doing, with so much time passed, failing to seize the opportunity, the longer it drags, the more it tarnishes the face of the Great Vista."

"Ji Moli, the Sect Masters of all the Great Divine Sects, even with three gods tribulation cooperating... Such a lineup, attacking a Divine Sect, and yet still unable to take it down quickly, doesn’t this make the Da Jing Dynasty a laughingstock to the world?"

"What then? Must Xie Yushen prepare ten gods tribulation, ten times the strength of the opponent, to defeat and destroy a Divine Sect?"

Even though the Emperor’s face was indistinct, his words carried anger.

Eunuch Lian kept his head bowed, not daring to speak.

He dared not make excuses for Xie Yushen.

Because the army led by the State Preceptor Xie Yushen, in terms of combat power, indeed was several times that of Qian Yuan Divine Sect, except for assaulting the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, the incomprehensible First Divine Sect.

The other Divine Sects, basically, there was great confidence to break the sect, right?

"Even if unable to break the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, why is there no movement? The Dragon God has arrived, plus Zhao Beidou, another Grandmaster of Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, and the Grandmaster Gu Qianchi of Bashu Sword Pavilion... It’s equivalent to gathering all the forces of the court and two Great Divine Sects to besiege Qian Yuan... Still unable to seize it swiftly?"

The Emperor coldly said.

"In alliance before Ji Moli cooperated in the campaign, news was transmitted back that his avatar was slain, I have reasons to suspect, if Xie Yushen has teamed up with Ji Moli, what are they up to?"

Cold sweat promptly appeared on Eunuch Lian’s forehead.

"Your Majesty, King Ping Luan... He wouldn’t joke with his own avatar, would he?"

"His avatar is indeed quite important."

The Emperor stood in the corridor, gazing at the snow falling over the city, laughed mockingly: "Important? To Ji Moli... it’s merely a matter of slaughtering one more city, is it really important to him?"

"The lives of those city dwellers, to him... are they truly important?"

The Emperor said in a haunting voice.

"Don’t think that in Jiangnan Dao, he joins those families who claim to be the Noble Families of Confucian Dao, and the matters Haoran Academy is involved with, that I really know nothing about."

"I made him suppress the Corpse God Cult, not to integrate with the Corpse God Cult..."

Eunuch Lian promptly lowered his head, dared not speak.

Watching the flying snow, the Emperor’s eyes couldn’t help but flash a trace of coldness and urgency: "Li Che... did he really retrieve the Gathering Immortals Flag from the Ten-thousand-year-old Peach Garden?"

"If truly so... I can’t wait anymore."

"It’s not that I don’t trust the State Preceptor, the State Preceptor’s performance is evident to all, he is an ambitious person, one who wants to realize his self-worth, he is my right hand, like Eunuch Lian, both are my most trusted people."

"I could even entrust the national fortune of Da Jing to the State Preceptor... how could I not trust him?"

"However, this time, the State Preceptor’s performance, I’m indeed a bit disappointed."

The Emperor shook his head, softly sighed.

"Qi Tian City is about to open soon, Qintian Observatory has been busy these days, it’s intense, seemingly the Great Supervising Minister is about to announce the calculated specific date of the Equal Heaven Temple’s opening."

"I hope... the State Preceptor can defeat Qian Yuan Divine Sect before the Great Supervising Minister announces the opening day of Qi Tian City!"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes.

"Eunuch Lian, draft an urgent decree, you personally deliver it!"

Eunuch Lian trembled slightly at the words.

He truly felt the Emperor’s urgency.

What exactly...

Makes the Emperor so urgent?!

Is it the looming resurrection of Strange Que’s All Gods Camp with those gods?

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Lian didn’t ask more, as the Emperor’s most loyal servant, he, while feeling the Emperor’s worries, would only follow the Emperor’s decree.

...

...

Rumble——!!!

On the surface of the Grand Canal, despite the icy world, it never froze, waves surged turbulently, blossoms of waves splashed, exploding countless misty water sprays.

The Old Dragon God was seated cross-legged on the river surface, his body towering and majestic, two dragon horns piercing the void like divine spears.

He sat cross-legged, immense divinity from the Grand Canal swiftly converged onto his body, making his albeit aged yet incredibly robust physical body, vaguely feel as if about to shatter the void and escape into nothingness.

Centered around the Old Dragon God’s body, within a ten-zhang radius, Dragon God Crown Prince and three other Dragon Sons, also sat cultivating, under the guidance of the Old Dragon God’s aura, siphoning divinity from the Grand Canal.

This is also why Li Che never summoned the Dragon God Crown Prince, because... this Old Dragon God constantly keeps an eye on the Dragon God Crown Prince, guiding and supervising his cultivation.

After all, Dragon God Crown Prince now is the hope of the Dragon God Lineage, the Old Dragon God can’t guarantee that in this mission to Qi Tian City, whether a solution for breakthrough or continuation of longevity can be found.
