It ith uncertainty and open confusion that Li Qinghou said Xiaochun At theAfter being taken captive to the Dao River Court, he hadn’t been tortured, but rather, been left toin h he didn’t care too much about whether he hi used as a trap to lure out Bruiser In the end, he had been powerless to change the outcome He hadn’t even been able to kill himself

He could only watch as Bruiser was aan to consu the half year which had passed, Patriarch Dao River had never succeeded in getting his hands on Bruiser However, the sound which had been inflicted on Bruiser’s neck was sohou blamed himself for constantly At the sarewbut a worthless prisoner rotting away in a dungeon, his hatred kept hi as the Dao River Court stood, he could not allow hiritted his teeth and endured the strange powers of the dungeon, which sucked away at his cultivation base and life force He had groeaker and weaker, and yet continued to hang on

Thankfully, he cultivated a special technique based on the power of plants and vegetation, which offered him special protection In this , as did his hatred of the Dao River Court And… Bai Xiaochun!

He had often thought about that young boy he had picked up froh Bai Xiaochun had been gone for a long tiain He wanted to protect him! He orried that, unless he was there to look out for him, the boy would cause disasters the likes of which could never be resolved

That became part of his focus, and therefore, despite the pain he faced, he endured

Nohen he heard deafening boo sounds outside, he opened his eyes, and wondered if he was seeing things when he saw Bai Xiaochun right there in front of him

As for Bai Xiaochun, when he heard Xiaochun, a trehou’s voice eak, but filled with a warmth and kindness that caused Bai Xiaochun's heart to leap in his chest

“Uncle Li!!” he said, tears flowing down his cheeks Although he had battle prowess that could crush devas, as well as the highest of statuses, when he ith Li Qinghou, he became the same Bai Xiaochun he had been back on Mount Hood, so afraid of lightning that he had lit a stick of incense thirteen tihou into an e into hi some of his injuries At the sahou had become, and his tears flowed even harder

There hite hairs on Li Qinghou’s head now, and he had wrinkles on his face, ed Obviously, the half year of confineer looked like Bai Xiaochun reacy echelon cultivator, the proud and unyielding peak lord of Fragrant Cloud Peak!

Li Qinghou was still a bit confused as he pulled back and looked at Bai Xiaochun Ignoring his oeakness and injury, he reached out and… gently put his hand onto Bai Xiaochun’s cheek

“Is it really you…? You’ve grown up, kid Alright, no crying now…” He wiped the tears off of Bai Xiaochun’s face, fully convinced that this was the saht back to the sect from Mount Hood

“It's me, Uncle Li… I'hou to his feet

Thanks to Bai Xiaochun’s help, Li Qinghou was already getting back so as you’re back, that’s all that matters…” Within his smile was approval, happiness, and kindness He was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so despite the eed inside of him, he kept himself in control, and simply smiled at Bai Xiaochun

Before he had a chance to ask Bai Xiaochun any questions about what he had been up to all these years, he looked out at the crater which surrounded them With Bai Xiaochun’s help, they clihou saw the crumbled ruins of the seven mountain peaks that made up the former Dao River Court, and the terrified Dao River Court disciples ere still fleeing off into the distance

At that point, Li Qinghou couldn’t contain his excite to peer around, he said, “Did one of the patriarchs finally break through? Where is he?”

His first reaction was to assume that one of the patriarchs had finally reached the Deva Realeon

And yet, he i a breakthrough, a single patriarch shouldn’t have been able to reduce the Dao River Court to this condition At that point, he started to wonder if two patriarchs had broken through to become devas
