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

The snowflakes whirled down from high above.

Landed on the skin, the snow crystals seemed to slowly bloom into transparent flowers, resembling exquisite artworks.

Lv Taibai raised his hand and caught a snowflake.

“A dog, a Three-pointed Two-bladed knife…”

“Great Elder thinks this Underworld has something to do with the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Strange Temple?”

Lv Taibai said calmly.

Fang Hanshu’s scholarly robe fluttered, and his fine beard danced in the wind, exuding an intense scholarly aura.

“It’s just a guess, after all… in this world, there aren’t many who could wield such a ferocious hound and possess the overwhelming sword energy of a Three-pointed Two-bladed knife.”

Fang Hanshu shook his head, lightly chuckling as he spoke.

“In this world, there are Reincarnated Temple Gods, Ancient Gods from beyond, and all sorts of Alien Races… It’s said, deep within the Strange Que, the corpse of a Temple God corresponding to the Mysterious Temple is buried…”

“There are too many strange things in this world, although the Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch Temple God has always been under our noses, continuously guarded by our Qian Yuan Divine Sect…”

“But… ancient records left by Divine Tribulation experts have recorded that the Strange Que between Mysterious Temples are connected, and the higher the rank of the Mysterious Temple, the deeper the Strange Que it accesses…”

Fang Hanshu had read too many records, so he spoke out.

Lv Taibai shook his head: “Perhaps it’s just a coincidence…”

“The Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch, Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Furious Third Prince, our Qianyuan Taoist City’s two Four Imperial Mysterious Temples, didn’t the Great Supervising Minister far away in the Divine Capital deduce…”

“He said these two Mysterious Temples both have a chance to ascend to the Three Pure Ranks, just like the Strange Temple in Qi Tian City of the past, which elevated from the Four Imperials to the Three Pure Ranks, leading Qi Tian City to rise.”

Fang Hanshu uttered in a deep voice: “We must not underestimate Miao Dao Xiansheng Three-Eyed True Monarch, perhaps…”

“If such a possibility truly exists… the Great Vista would never leave it unchecked.”

“In the years when Equal Heaven Temple flourished, it suffocated the then Imperial Court, dominating half of the realm… We cultivators of the Divine Sect were amazed by it, while the Imperial Court could hardly rest easy.”

Lv Taibai sat on the steps in front of Taibai Hall, his silver hair cascading like a waterfall, as if a gentle breeze coursed through every strand.

He lifted his gaze, looking towards the distant peak adorned with many blooming plum blossoms even in the harsh winter.

The wind and snow wailed, and the fragrance of fallen plum blossoms lingered.

“Four Imperials ascend… to the Three Pure Ones?”

“Since the emergence of the Mysterious Temples, this has only happened once, leading to the rise of Equal Heaven Temple…”

“Will Qianyuan be the next Equal Heaven Temple?”

“Fortune indeed.”

“Misfortune indeed…”

…

…

The majority of Su Family Mansion had turned into ruins.

The cracks in the ground, like hideous abysses, spread from within the mansion.

Highly conspicuous.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one.

Su Daoling, the trusted Family Head of the Su Family, was forcibly killed within the mansion by the Underworld, without any chance of resistance, mercilessly crushed.

This sent shivers down the spines of all forces in Qianyuan Taoist City.

The powerful figures secretly observing dared not make a move, even though the Su Family now had only a single Martial Saint left, but this Martial Saint was of the Qi Sea Level, not a weakling.

In addition, everyone was also watching for the Underworld’s stance.

The Underworld Yama, this fearsome entity, after killing Su Daoling, used the Underworld’s Secret Technique of Movement amidst an absolute peak siege to leave with ease.

This made the forces in Qianyuan Taoist City no longer dare underestimate the Underworld, truly viewing it as a force capable of rivaling the Divine Sect, Hunting God Pavilion, Corpse God Cult, Qintian Observatory, and other top factions.

Within the Su Family Mansion.

Su Leibao gripped the dragon-headed staff, his whole body becoming hunched again, his spine bending down, as if all strength had left him, thoroughly crushed.

The snowflakes drifted with melancholy from the night sky, swaying and falling down.

Outside the Su Family Mansion, numerous attentive gazes, divine senses, Primordial Spirits, and so forth made Su Leibao feel as if needles were pricking his body.

“Jingle jingle—”

Suddenly.

The sound of a bell echoed, as if it was a soul-scattering sound.

Su Leibao furrowed his brows, turning to look outside the Su Family Mansion, to the end of the ten-mile long street.

A similarly hunched figure, wearing a Cat Face mask, holding a book, and shaking a copper bell, slowly walked out.

“Underworld… Cat Face!”

Murderous intent surged in Su Leibao’s eyes.

He clenched his fist.

A weak, utterly insignificant piece of trash!

Dares to show up at this time?!

In normal times, Su Leibao… could easily smash such trash to death with a single punch.

But now…

Facing this Underworld member, Su Leibao…

Did not dare make a move.

He was fearful from the heart.

If the Underworld Yama struck again to kill this Cat Face in revenge…

The Su Family might not even have its last hope left.

“The Su Family… in Qianyuan Taoist City, has no hope left.”

Su Leibao closed his eyes.

As an aged Qi Sea Martial Saint nearing his life’s end, he could not save the current Su Family of the Taoist City.

Thus, Su Leibao was very clear that the Su Family had only one path left…

And that is…

Escape!

Escape from Qianyuan Taoist City, head to the Divine Capital!

Take the resources supporting the Third Prince, travel to the Divine Capital, and bet the family’s resurgence on the Third Prince; if the Third Prince rises, even attaining the Dajing Crown Prince position…

Moreover, with Su Daoling’s daughter, the beloved concubine of the Third Prince, perhaps the Su Family could rise again, continuing the three-thousand-year legacy, even becoming a five-thousand-year noble family!

As long as it’s not extinguished, there is always hope.
