Invincible Dad
Chapter 871: Nothing to Do With Me
"..."
Such a loving aunt and obedient nephew.
It’s clear that during Xu Lai’s absence, Xu Ping’an has been frequently bullied by Ruan Lan.
This indirectly shows.
Ruan Lan’s personality has long been understood clearly by her nephew.
"Wish well for your little aunt," Xu Lai said, slightly helpless.
"Little Aunt has the auspicious look; surely she can turn danger into safety!" Xu Ping’an said with an innocent face.
Xu Lai rubbed his brow; his son is not even a year old and is already so mature, able to say the most dishonest words with the sincerest expression.
He has truly learned from Ruan Lan!
"Dad, should we go and rescue Little Aunt?" Yiyi blinked her eyes.
"There’s no need."
Xu Lai shook his head, observing Ruan Lan being chased. Although she looked quite pitiful, she wasn’t in dire straits and could still escape.
The problem isn’t big.
"Dad, why are those dark clouds always following you?"
Xu Yiyi looked up at the sky, staring straight at the tribulation clouds of Karmic Tribulation.
"You can see them?" Xu Lai was a bit surprised.
"So dark, so terrifying." Xu Ping’an whispered along.
Xu Lai raised an eyebrow and said calmly: "Sikong Jiu."
"The Supreme Emperor, it’s not related to me!"
Sikong Jiu’s aggrieved voice came from the sky above.
He was also shocked why the two children of the Supreme Emperor could see the Karmic Tribulation clouds, but it definitely had nothing to do with him.
"Forget it."
Xu Lai did not dwell on this matter, instead, he rubbed his daughter’s and son’s heads and said with a smile:
"Continue playing."
"Okay!"
Yiyi nodded, taking her brother to continue playing in the water on the beach.
Xu Lai basked in the sunshine, and soon a burly figure appeared beside him; without looking up, he knew it was Divine General Taotie.
"Reporting to the Supreme Emperor, Li Shenhuang has brought the Eight Desolate Cauldron to visit the Heavenly Court." Taotie said solemnly.
"I invited him."
"Phew."
Taotie sighed heavily.
For a being who should have disappeared into the annals of time to suddenly appear in the Heavenly Court, it made all the divine generals feel as if facing a great enemy, except for Baize, who was much calmer.
Setting up a game board.
Sitting with Li Shenhuang, drinking tea, and playing chess. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Divine General Taotie, currently exterminating various Holy Lands’ Tao Lineages with Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, rushed back to Earth upon hearing this information.
It turns out, everything was arranged by the Supreme Emperor.
"Li Shenhuang is not an enemy?" Divine General Taotie cautiously asked.
"Not for now."
"Hmm."
Taotie’s eyes flickered: "Supreme Emperor, I have something unclear if I should speak or not."
"Then don’t speak."
"..."
Taotie’s face turned red with restraint: "Supreme Emperor, after all, he is an Emperor Realm; the Heavenly Court without your presence, if Li Shenhuang acts, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"He says he will help me fill in the missing parts of the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Domain. He wishes to form a benevolent bond with me before he dies, for the sake of the Six-winged Divine Clan."
Xu Lai raised his hand to his forehead, gazing through his fingers at the blazing sun, speaking softly.
Taotie scratched his head heavily, unsure of what to say, and thought to himself, exclaiming:
"Even as an Emperor Realm, one cannot transcend, still filled with emotions and desires."
"Yes, who can truly transcend?" Xu Lai laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Supreme Emperor, after you leave, I will protect the mistress, Yiyi, and Ping’an well, staking the life and death of the Taotie Clan."
The whole clan.
To save three people.
Xu Lai kicked out helplessly: "Use your brains more, Taotie!"
Taotie stubbornly raised his neck, refusing to lower his head.
Xu Lai recalled his first encounter with Taotie.
The Immortal Venerable Realm Taotie was chased by enemies and forced to flee into the Lost Forbidden Land, where he met Xu Lai, who was also being hunted.
This muscular fool, due to his racial talent for a strong physique, was coaxed onto the pirate ship by Xu Lai with just a few words, used as a guinea pig in various experiments to leave the forbidden land’s route.
And then.
Taotie never got off this pirate ship.
How many millennia have passed in the blink of an eye.
In terms of combat power and strategy, Baize surpasses Taotie, yet the position of the Heavenly Court’s First Divine General has always been held by this muscular fool.
Why?
Because Xu Lai owes him.
After all, being able to cultivate to the Immortal Venerable Realm, would he really be easily coaxed to risk his life again and again?
Thus, after Xu Qingfeng became an emperor, the Taotie Clan rose to be one of the strongest Holy Lands in the Immortal Domain.
This ’one of’.
Is one of the top ten sequences, incredibly prestigious.
"Enough."
However, Xu Lai knows Taotie’s nature; once stubbornness kicks in, not even he can pull him back.
The Karmic Tribulation continues to expand.
Once the Heavenly Dao is completely repaired, and a new ’Samsara Sea’ appears, the souls of deceased living beings in the Immortal Domain no longer fly to the two Realm Gates, the Karmic Tribulation will descend.
Calculating time, it’s not long.
Xu Lai senses a rising aura surrounding the one sipping tea with Baize in the Heavenly Court, growing increasingly intense, no longer discreet.
"At the ultimate peak?"
Xu Lai chuckled lightly; it seems Li Shenhuang not only wants to eliminate some Holy Lands for him.
"Boom!"
An imperial majesty rose.
From Earth.
All Holy Lands and Quasi-Saint Grounds in the Four Immortal Domains were shaken, their strongest within deeply astonished.
Two Emperor Realm pressures...
But this seems just the beginning.
Another pressure rose from the moon, somewhat weak, or rather just awakened, not as terrifying as the one in the Heavenly Court.
Xu Lai was a bit surprised.
Li Bahuang’s pressure manifesting in the Heavenly Court, he understood that the other intended to kill, unconcerned about identity exposure.
His pressure was to endorse Li Bahuang, as an Emperor Realm of this era, he simply could not hide.
But why would Great Emperor Jiu Feng reveal his aura?
Moreover, it carried no malice.
"This sovereign once had the fortune to read the Eight Desolates Imperial Sutra, laying the foundation for the Emperor Realm; no matter who Li Shenhuang kills, this sovereign... will follow."
Great Emperor Jiu Feng’s voice echoed throughout the Star Domain.
In an instant, all cultivators above Immortal Venerable were chilled to the bone.
Li Shenhuang still lives, and another unknown Great Emperor wants to repay this debt of gratitude; who will they join forces to kill?
Could it be Great Emperor Qingfeng?
Within the Heavenly Court, Li Shenhuang raised his cup and drank the tea, thereby resolving the karma between them.
As for whom they would kill.
In the Emperor Realm, who else to kill but another Emperor Realm?
Emperor Realms vary in strength; one should aim to kill the strongest of them.
Remember the Eight Desolate Cauldron once mentioned that the Six-winged Divine Clan had karmic ties with Sikong Jiu.
Specifically, when Sikong Jiu’s previous incarnation, Jiu Kongsi, was chased by the Nine Kings’ Palace, it implicated the Six-winged Divine Clan, forcing this group to settle in the North Sea, overrun by demonic beasts.
Due to this.
Li Bahuang, who wanted to be an ordinary person, was forced to embark on the path of cultivation, leading a legendary life.
Two days ago, Li Bahuang and Sikong Jiu reconciled in the Emperor Realm space within the sea’s eye, but the vendetta with the Nine Kings’ Palace was not resolved.
Therefore.
Li Shenhuang wishes to kill someone in the Nine Kings’ Palace.
Not just one but nine.
"Even so, you’re willing to go together, what... is your plan?" Xu Lai squinted.
"Supreme Emperor, should I go to the Moon Phoenix Nest to inquire?" Taotie clasped his fists.
"No need."
Xu Lai shook his head, calmly saying: "I really want to see what my ’predecessor’ intends to do."
