Li Che smiled gently and waved his hand, then turned his head to the window where the falling snow whirled outside.
Having just killed Wen Longshan, a stifling anger in his heart was mostly relieved, and he was in a very good mood, seeing the snowy scene come to life.
Gong Yunli seemed to have sensed that Li Che's mood had become much more cheerful.
"Gong Shaojian, we should be close to Heart Monkey Temple, right?" Li Che asked.
"We have practically arrived; we've almost entered the domain of Heart Monkey Temple... We will stop there and then head directly to Mysterious Temple."
Gong Yunli said.
"As one of the Five Great Sects of Golden Light Prefecture City, the Heart Monkey Temple's strength is indeed not weak."
"The peace of this Mysterious Temple is also thanks to their assistance in supressing it."
Li Che nodded upon hearing this.
However, the mention of the temple inadvertently brought to mind the monk who had bought his wood carving of the Zhong Kui statue.
A hint of puzzlement arose in his heart; the monk was from the Buddhist order, a professional at subduing demons and capturing ghosts, why did he need his wood carving of Zhong Kui?
Although slightly perplexed, he didn't delve too deeply into the matter.
The carriage procession continued to sway.
Tearing through the snowstorm, they moved forward.
...
...
Divine Sect, Golden Light Peak.
Inside the Divine Palace, Nan Lihuo, surrounded by a brown halo, abruptly dispersed it and leaped up from the ground.
Powerful waves of divinity spread incessantly.
He sat on the stone steps of the grand hall, removing the white fox mask from his face.
His expression was inevitably somber and sorrowful.
The sorrow stemmed from the death of his confidential informant within the City Lord's Mansion, whose head Su Huaili had crushed in front of him.
Nan Lihuo felt a pang in his heart.
His contemplation was due to the failure of the plan...
Hmm?
Nan Lihuo's expression suddenly took on a peculiar look.
"It seems... it's not a complete failure..."
"Wen Longshan is dead."
"Killed by Ox Demon and Horse Face!"
Nan Lihuo thought of Su Huaili, who suddenly flew into a rage, causing fluctuations in the flow of battle, and this provided him with a chance to flee.
The cause was the news of Wen Longshan's death that Su Huaili had learned.
"Wen Longshan... such a formidable divine archer..."
"To think he was killed by Ox Demon and Horse Face?!"
Nan Lihuo shook his head.
An unexpected blessing indeed.
He had thought that this time the plan was surely a failure.
Yet the outcome turned out to be so delightful.
"Ox Demon and Horse Face... how did they manage it?"
Nan Lihuo was shaken.
"Ms. Xi Xi, overwhelming across all ages, unparalleled in the world!"
Gong Yang Xiu's little face flushed as he shouted loudly.
Complete silence fell over the Daping.
Xi Xi's little face couldn't help but blush slightly.
That was enough!
That was really enough!
Becoming overwhelming across all ages was sufficient, but adding unparalleled in the world made Xi Xi embarrassingly shy.
However... Ms. Xi Xi?
The way little Xiuxiu put it actually sounded quite nice.
"Who else?" Xi Xi's chest puffed up even higher.
Her gaze swept over all the Spirit Children of Dao City, lingering a few seconds longer on the dumplings being eaten by Little Fatty.
Her gaze moved to Little Fatty's face, and Xi Xi immediately shifted her attention, unwilling to taint her eyes even for an extra second.
Couldn't stand it a bit!
Her shifted gaze finally landed on Yun E, who was beside Little Fatty.
Seeing her, Xi Xi's eyes suddenly brightened significantly.
"What a pretty sister!"
...
...
The carriage bounced along through the icy snowscape.
Shaking and swaying.
Gong Yunli, who was leaning on the carriage window, suddenly pointed toward Heart Monkey Temple in the distance, and whispered to Li Che,
"A Che, we've arrived at Heart Monkey Temple!"
Li Che, hearing this, slowly opened his restful eyes.
Turning his head, his gaze shifted toward the window.
It fell upon the ancient temple enveloped in the icy snowscape.
Ancient temple amidst ice and snow.
There was quite a poetic and picturesque sense to it.
Li Che was appreciating the view.
Suddenly...
His Brow Niwan Palace suddenly blazed with heat.
A Godly Pattern flashed past.
That was...
The Divine Skill, [Star Plucking Pupil]!
Return to Truth, Quell Evil Punish Wickedness!
The next moment...
Li Che's eyes narrowed.
He saw the peaceful ancient temple amid the wind and snow.
In an instant...
Ominous ghostly qi soared straight to the skies.
