Inside the room, the lamp burned quietly, occasionally emitting a faint crackling sound.
Li Che held his wife Zhang Ya, listening to her determined words, he was momentarily stunned.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Che smiled gently and patted his wife's head.
"If you want to practice, then practice."
"I will teach you."
Zhang Ya lifted her smooth chin, pursed her lips, and whispered, "Xixi and you both practice martial arts. I heard that martial artists have a long life span and can live much longer than ordinary people..."
Li Che was taken aback, his gaze becoming even gentler.
He understood his wife's concern; it was because she cared that she had this worry.
Li Che was confident that he would reach great heights in the future, and Xixi's talent was extraordinary, with limitless potential...
It would be a bit difficult for his wife Zhang Ya to keep up with them.
"But, I now have the Dao Fruit... slowly, I will find a way."
Li Che smiled and gently stroked his wife's black hair.
He looked down at his wife and softly said, "Xiaoya, don't worry. Our family will be fine, always safe and sound, for a long time to come."
A warm family life.
All he wished for in this life was the safety of his small family.
The night was deep.
After the commotion subsided, only a deathly silence remained.
Zhang Ya, who wanted to practice martial arts, was examined by Li Che, and with fatigue, she fell into a deep sleep.
Li Che, however, was as energetic as a tiger. He was indeed full of energy.
Even after the intense battle tonight, it did not affect him much.
Taking out the thumb-sized 'Three-Headed, Six-Armed Fierce Spirit Infant Statue,' Li Che squinted and examined it under the lamplight.
In the next moment, his palm instantly emitted a white jade-colored mist, as if his entire hand had turned into crystal.
The rudimentary divine skill, [Heavenly Craft: Thousand Analysis Hand]!
Instantly, Li Che felt the boiling divine essence of anger within the spirit infant statue being疯狂地汲取 by his palm. In just a couple of breaths, the spirit infant statue turned to ashes.
Crimson threads wandered through his arm, and Li Che, sensing the power of the divine essence, his expression became slightly solemn.
"I wonder what kind of divine essence this is under the divine essence of anger... It should be left by a divine essence cultivator from the Spirit Child Sect, a killing move for the Blood Replacing Warriors. Unfortunately... it was smashed by me before it could be used."
"This divine essence is a windfall for me."
Li Che's Thousand Analysis Hand quickly dimmed, sealing the divine essence within.
"The divine essence martial technique I obtained is [Crying Ghosts Thunder Arrow], which should be a divine essence martial technique of the Si Family. I wonder if I can use this divine essence to activate and perform it?"
It was probably not possible. The divine essence absorbed from the spirit infant statue was the divine essence of anger, which had nothing to do with the divine essence of sorrow.
Furrowing his brows slightly, he knew too little about divine essence.
Since he didn't understand it, he wouldn't waste his energy speculating.
He only planned to practice [Crying Ghosts Thunder Arrow] when he had the time.
This was both an archery skill and a divine essence martial technique...
Guo Zhan clearly hadn't cultivated divine essence and couldn't perform it; otherwise... this battle tonight would have been even more challenging.
His mind stirred.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon-Elephant Vajra (lv2, 5%)]
[Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit (lv1, 1%)]
"Killing four Blood Replacing Warriors from the Spirit Child Sect, for the lv2 Dragon-Elephant Vajra, only 5% of maturity was gained... that's really a bit too little."
"Additionally, 2% of the divine essence accumulated in the [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit] was consumed... now it's only 1% mature. It's like starting from scratch again, this is the drawback of not having a Divine Essence Technique..."
"Divine Essence Technique..."
The lamp flickered.
Li Che's desire for a Divine Essence Technique grew even more intense.
...
...
The next day, the heavy snow that had fallen all night suddenly stopped.
Xu's Wood Carving Shop, which had been quiet all night, became lively.
Many people gathered outside Li Che's courtyard, looking at the unharmed family and the frozen corpse of Zhao Chuanxiong lying in the snow outside the courtyard, their faces filled with surprise.
"The commotion last night... with blood and qi flying, as intense as fire, many Blood Replacing Realm martial artists took action, and Master Li's family... actually didn't get hurt?"
"What's wrong? Do you want Master Li's family to get hurt?"
"This is called the good being naturally blessed. The Spirit Child Sect... is truly becoming more and more rampant, daring to openly snatch children from our Xu's shop."
"This Zhao Chuanxiong... the head of the constables, was actually from the Spirit Child Sect?"
...
Many wood carving masters came out of their houses and gathered at Li Che's courtyard, chattering nonstop.
Li Che's expression was gentle. Although none of the wood carving masters had taken action last night, it was understandable, after all... not everyone dared to be a hero.
Faced with the Blood Replacing Warriors of the Spirit Child Sect, these masters, even if they had taken action... would only have been beaten to death.
Fear was understandable.
In the distance, a figure in white quickly approached, qi and blood intertwining, and in a moment, the ground was covered in flying snow, arriving at the courtyard.
It was Xu You, who had just returned from the inner city.
"Are you alright?"
Xu You came to Li Che's family.
Li Che shook his head, "Last night, there was a battle outside with Blood Replacing Warriors... I didn't dare to show myself and stayed in the house with my wife and daughter. This morning, when I came out, I saw Zhao Chuanxiong's corpse."
Xu You saw Xixi in her jacket, and the stern look on his face instantly softened as he picked up Xixi, "It's good that nothing happened... Xixi, come, Uncle Xu will hold you."
"Last night's incident, your family was just the bait, the real goal... was to lure out the Bull Demon, who has caused a stir in Feilei City."
"This Zhao Chuanxiong was the bait, and now it seems that the bait was completely devoured..."
"In a corner of the courtyard, there's another corpse and a ground full of shredded flesh. That Bull Demon... is really fierce, fighting four enemies alone, killing them all and escaping unscathed. If you didn't know any better, you'd think the Bull Demon had reached the Pulse-Opening Realm!"
"The Blood Replacing Warriors of the Spirit Child Sect... were too tragic, just a ground full of shredded flesh."
"As for the remaining corpse, it belongs to Si Mu Bai's subordinates."
"The Si Family will definitely give us an explanation for this."
"Stealing chickens and losing the grain, that's what happened to Si Mu Bai..."
Xu You sneered, "Last night, when Si Mu Bai went out, he seemed to encounter a mysterious powerful figure behind the Bull Demon, almost losing his divine essence... he is now severely injured and will take at least a year or two to recover."
"I've sent someone to take care of Old Chen, he should be released by this afternoon..."
Xu You spoke a few more words with Li Che and then bid farewell, as he had many things to do.
The incident last night didn't have much impact on ordinary people, but for the noble families in the inner city, it was extraordinary.
Whether it was the Bull Demon who could kill Blood Replacing Warriors, or the [Prince of Wrath] divine essence cultivator who left Si Mu Bai half-dead...
Both had a significant impact on various forces.
Li Che held Xixi, watching Xu You disappear into the snow, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He gently rubbed Xixi's back, making the little girl feel ticklish and squirm.
But in reality, Li Che was using the divine essence accumulated in his [Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit] to nurture Xixi's body, ensuring she remained healthy and disease-free.
The divine essence of the Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit was pure and flawless, without the strong emotional influences of other divine essences, making it extremely suitable for nurturing.
Li Che also sensed from Xu You's words that last night's incident was not simple.
"Did Si Mu Bai plan to take action himself last night?"
"But he was stopped by a divine essence cultivator and beaten half to death..."
"Did he mistakenly think the Bull Demon had a backer?"
Li Che's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel a bit frightened...
If Si Mu Bai had taken action himself...
A divine essence cultivator, Li Che didn't have much confidence.
Fortunately, someone stopped him, but... he was the one who knew best whether the Bull Demon had a backer.
The Bull Demon was just a lone individual.
"Who is helping me?"
Li Che was slightly puzzled, but only slightly.
Because this was not the focus of his attention.
The key was, he obtained extremely important information from Xu You.
Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, Li Che's gaze was distant.
"Si Mu Bai... is severely injured..."
