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

Chapter 845: Chapter 267: Emperor Xi Xi Sets Out Again to Talent Pass, Impressing the Grandmaster – Part 4

Li Che smiled faintly, then straightened his spine, brushed off a raindrop from his Mo Shan robe, and followed Lu Qingti. They passed through the crowd, accompanied by many startled and curious gazes, heading towards the Qiankun Arch.

Under countless surprised and respectful stares, Li Che arrived at the ranks of Gongshu Jingjun and the Divine Eagle Ridge Elders.

Following that, the Divine Eagle Ridge Elders also stepped forward one by one, joining the many elders of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, aligning themselves neatly in front of the Qiankun Arch.

The Sect Master Lv Taibai stood tall in pristine white robes, his silver hair flowing freely as his gaze landed on Li Che, whose entrance into the ranks was rather remarkable.

“Elder Li.”

Lv Taibai’s eyes gleamed profoundly, a Godly Pattern visible at the center of his brow.

The corners of his lips lifted with a trace of amusement: “Not bad.”

Li Che felt a jolt in his heart, as though every Dao Fruit within his chest quivered intensely at that moment, warning him of the unparalleled danger emanating from this person before him.

Even within the Heaven and Earth chessboard’s [Equal to Heaven’s Face], the Prison Lotus Yin Divine Sword trembled uncontrollably.

Likewise, the Three-point double-edged knife embedded in his left arm quivered faintly.

Li Che took a deep breath—he couldn’t fight and win…

Facing such a being head-on right now, he certainly couldn’t win!

Even a sneak attack wouldn’t work!

Suppressing the unease in his heart, he clasped his fists and bowed: “Newly appointed Elder of Divine Eagle Ridge, Li Che, pays respect to the Sect Master.”

Sect Master Lv Taibai nodded slightly, refraining from further pleasantries.

Following that, he led the many elders to begin their ceremonial tribute to the Grandmaster.

The process of the ancestral tribute was presided over by Jiao Shaoqiu. Though meticulous, it was not overly complicated. After completing a series of rituals, each elder placed a stick of incense in their designated bronze incense burner, marking the conclusion of the act.

Not much time was wasted.
