The Divine Chess Piece was fully retrieved.
Li Che searched through the ruins for a while.
His Divine Sense spread out, and he finally found the worn, scorched, and unbearably hot Qiankun Jade, covered in cracks and buried under layers of thick ash.
"Fortunately, it's not broken..."
Li Che let out a breath of relief.
Pocketing the Qiankun Jade, the collection of a Septenary Corpse God Envoy...
Should allow him to look forward to a rewarding haul, he thought.
"This trip... was not in vain."
"I even earned an Eight Extremes Divinity Crystal from senior Qingshan."
Li Che began to smile.
In the perception of the Heaven and Earth chessboard, several presences rapidly shot towards him.
Clearly, that adorable five-meter tall Mushroom Cloud and its blazing light had drawn quite a bit of attention.
Li Che, wearing the Bull Demon Mask, pulled his wide-brimmed hat lower.
He snapped his fingers.
"Crack."
Sixteen Horse Faces exploded into black mist and disappeared without a trace.
And the form of the Bull Demon also shifted away abruptly.n/oÌ/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After the Bull Demon left,
several leaps like the flight of wings through the dense woods.
Three figures in Temple Control Bureau uniforms landed around the ruins.
Zhang Lianhao's eyes narrowed, and his hand instinctively went to the handle of the Bureau's blade at his waist.
"What's this..."
"What the heck?"
Whoosh whooshâ
The raging winds carried roaring whirlwinds past.
In front of him...
A crater about fifty meters in diameter appeared!
Within the crater's ruins...
Is this really the Chief Supervisor?
He hadn't had many encounters with the Chief Supervisor, and previously only had combat power at the Void Aspect, so high-level experts like him were difficult to face directly.
But now, the image of the capable and righteous Chief Supervisor in his mind had collapsed.
This was just an old man who took performing as his hobby!
"I also hired Horse Face..."
"It was also thanks to Horse Face's secret support and attacks... Earlier, I felt a great threat coming from the City Lord's Mansion."
"It must have been that Divine Archer Wen Longshan who wanted to foil my breakthrough."
Li Qingshan said gravely.
Stepping into the Divine Phase, he felt a tremendous transformation, and he was a completely different person.
As a Godly Aspect at the beginning of the Six Ministries, his potential was much higher.
For example, Zhu Hong Dou, who was also at the Six Ministries Godly Aspect level, had a much lower ceiling than he did.
"But he was stopped by Horse Face."
Li Qingshan exhaled deeply.
Wen Longshan, such a Divine Archer, posed too great a threat to him when he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
It was thanks to Horse Face that this hire wasn't a loss at all!
Not to mention that Horse Face later helped and shot those Divine Phases who were eagerly watching and plotting something.
"I ought to give a generous red envelope... Such a Divine Archer must be befriended well."
Li Qingshan muttered to himself.
Having a friend who excelled in secret arrow attacks was comforting.
"Wen Longshan..."
Nan Lihuo's eyelids lowered.
The conflict between the City Lord's Mansion and Li Qingshan wasn't significant, yet they still chose this critical moment to strike.
Their motive was clear, most likely to annoy him, Nan Lihuo, and prevent the Golden Light Sub-sect from gaining another powerful figure.
"Find an opportunity... to dispose of him."
Nan Lihuo said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan's eyes lit up.
"I must be a part of it!"
Nan Lihuo nodded.
