Chapter 84: Changshou, Tell Me What to Do

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Changshou was extremely glad at that moment…

Fortunately, I had come with Elder Wan Linyun…

If I could not hold him back, this old man would have really charged forward and faced that group of burly men head-on!

The place was 2,500 kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect. It was equivalent to the border of the Immortal Du Sect's "famous territory".

According to the rules set by the East Continent, the resources and spirit meridians that were located within two thousand kilometers from the Immortal Du Sect would all belong to the Immortal Du Sect.

The other party had deliberately set up the high-level Hidden array and Concealment array at such a precise distance that the Immortal Du Sect could not detect them at all…

The actions of the people inside were already very problematic!

However, it seems a little tyrannical to form a feud just like that.

However…

When Elder Wan Linyun took out a Dharma treasure that looked like the Yin-Yang Twin Fishes, he pulled Li Changshou's paper avatar and silently entered the array formation underground…

If it wasn't for Li Changshou's quick reflexes that allowed him to stop Wan Linyun, the late-stage Heaven Immortal, the latter would have already charged out and roared furiously, "Bastard, you are courting death!"

Without Li Changshou, the demonic aura within Wan Linyun would surge and his negative karma would accumulate.

There were dozens of great demons in the array. Their cultivation levels were at the Perfected Immortal realm and Heaven Immortal realm!

Apart from that, there were more than a hundred people. Most of them were at the Perfected Immortal realm, and there were more than ten Heaven Immortals…

Elder Wan Linyun turned to glare at Li Changshou. Just as he was about to transmit his voice, Li Changshou gestured for him to keep quiet.

He took out two jade pendants and handed one to Elder Wan Linyun.

It was 'Heart Jade', one of the trinkets that Li Changshou made.

The two of them held the jade pendant and could communicate through telepathy. There were no immortal powers, Dharmic powers, Primordial Energy, and air fluctuations. They were all well-hidden.

The disadvantage was that they could not stray too far from each other.

Li Changshou transmitted a message psychically. "Elder, you can think of what you want to say in your heart. I can hear it."

"Ah! Changshou, why are you stopping me!?!"

Elder Wan Linyun gritted his teeth and thought, When I destroy these demons, I'll kill the scums who are associated with them!

"Elder, don't be impatient. Don't panic… Calm down. Impulsiveness is a demon!"

Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Elder, can you tell me how you intend to destroy these demons?"

"I'm going to use my mystical abilities and poisonous pills, of course!"

"Just charge forward?"

"When it comes to sneak attacks, we must launch an attack first and defeat one or two of them in an instant!"

Elder Wan Linyun probably felt that the other party did not notice him. He calmed down and reminded Li Changshou,"When encountering such a situation in the future, Changshou, you should not be rash. You will definitely be in danger if you are surrounded."

"But I'm not afraid! The closer they are to me, the more effective the poisonous pills and Poison Technique will be!"

Li Changshou transmitted his voice in his heart, "But Elder, think about it. What if you get injured and die here? We're outnumbered by them. That's one factor."

"We have only roughly sensed their realm. If a Golden Immortal is hiding here and intentionally lures us into the trap, that would be the second thing to be wary of…"

Elder Wan Linyun frowned. There seemed to be an expression on his usually-expressionless old face, which suggested that he was deep in thought.

Changshou's words make sense.

Li Changshou continued to dissuade him.

"Elder, you will definitely unleash your power in a while. With the mystical abilities that you have taught me and the poisonous pills that you have accumulated for tens of thousands of years, it will not be a problem to kill those enemies."

"However, what if they realize that something is amiss and flee in all directions? Wouldn't that leave behind a hidden danger to the sect? That's the third factor we have to consider."

"That's true." Elder Wan Linyun agreed.

Li Changshou added, "Although there are many Heaven Immortals here, there are also humans, demons, and spirits. Elder, look, the people, demons, and spirits are mixed together, but there is no communication between them. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't humans be closer to humans, while demons get closer to demons?"

"Elder, take a look! The two big demons with blue fur have similar auras and are mixed with each other. They must have been together all year round. If they're not brothers, they might be husband and wife. Of course, they could also be homo… Ahem, okay, they're indeed a thousand feet away from each other now…"

"Look at it, look carefully. There must be something unusual about this."

"It is highly possible that these people, demons, and spirits have already had their conscious taken away by others! Just like the Qi Refinement cultivators who attacked Uncle-Master Jiu Wu and the others outside the Golden Palace Sect, they might merely be puppets!"

"This is the fourth…"

Elder Wan Linyun squinted and nodded slowly. He felt somewhat ashamed.

The old man said in his heart, "It's a good thing that you accompanied me here. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have made a huge mistake!"

Li Changshou smiled and said, "Elder, you are a man of integrity. You are not an insidious person, to begin with. It is normal for you not to think about this. I was just thinking about these things previously and was worried that something like this would happen. I didn't expect that it would actually happen…"

"Sigh, Changshou, what do you think we should do?"

Li Changshou secretly heaved a sigh of relief…

He had finally convinced Elder Wan Linyun.

Li Changshou asked in his heart, "Elder, have you refined a drug or a poisonous pill that is mild and hard to detect?"

"Of course I do. Why do we need it?"

Elder Wan Linyun's eyes were filled with a look of puzzlement. "Can't we use the strongest poison directly?"

"If we release the poisonous fog here, these enemies would immediately react and flee, just like how a rabbit will definitely jump out of a Pill Furnace."

"However, if the lid of the Pill Furnace slowly turns hot and the rabbit loses consciousness first, it will be roasted unknowingly…"

Elder Wan Linyun's eyes lit up. He smiled coldly at Li Changshou and thought That's true.

The elder took out seven or eight porcelain bottles from his ring and whispered,

"These can intoxicate a Heaven Immortal's essence soul and make his body numb. It is called the Soul Intoxication Powder."

Li Changshou blinked and asked, "Could it be that this pill is also made from your formula?"

"That's right." Elder Wan Linyun sneered again. "I was the one who came up with it out of boredom. After all, poisonous pills are too overbearing. However, the refinement process of this item is complicated. Therefore, the formula for it is not included in the Poison Sutra that I gave you previously. I will teach you when we get back."

Li Changshou praised, "Elder, I have already obtained the pill formula in the Outer Hall. It was recorded in a damaged jade slip. I didn't expect it to be a precious pill that you created, Elder."

"Haha… Take these for self-defense. I've forgotten about this before. This is just an incapacitating agent. It's suitable for your self-defense."

Elder Wan Linyun casually stuffed the porcelain bottles into Li Changshou's hands. Afraid that Li Changshou would refuse, he immediately took out more than ten porcelain bottles from his ring.

Li Changshou had seen the Poison Immortal's reserve of poisonous pills…

He was jealous.

Those were his assets!

Li Changshou truly admired Elder Wan Linyun's penchant for giving whenever he was unhappy.

Coincidentally, Li Changshou liked to take, take, take!

"Changshou, can I attack now?" Wan Linyun asked.

Li Changshou continued in his heart, "Elder, I think this place is just the vanguard of the other party. If they want to attack our sect, it is impossible that there are only so few experts. It's best not to let any of them go."

"In that case, Changshou, how should we use these incapacitating agents to keep these thieves here?"

"You should first use your immortal powers to cover the entire array formation from underground. Then, you can let the incapacitating agent slowly seep out from underground…

"There's no need. I've refined quite a few of them. I wanted to use them to trap the enemies instead of killing them."

Elder Wan Linyun answered in his heart and revealed a smile.

What he admired the most was Li Changshou's personality and the fact that he never liked to keep all the treasures for himself.

According to Li Changshou's guidance, Elder Wan Linyun used eighteen bottles of Soul Intoxication Powder.

He used wisps of immortal power to send the incapacitating agent to the feet of the people who were hiding. Then, he allowed the incapacitating agent to slowly spread out.

Li Changshou was still worried and kept reminding him telepathically.

"Elder, give more to those great demons. Their resistance is much stronger than that of us humans…"

"Elder, be careful. The immortal power fluctuations might disturb them."

"Elder, you must pay extra attention to those on the tree…"

An hour later…

The array was silent. A few figures fell from the tree and landed on the ground like sandbags…

Beneath the ground, Elder Wan Linyun marveled. He was about to rush out to kill these people.

"Elder!"

Li Changshou hurriedly pulled the elder and said, "Why do we have to go out now? What if someone purposely pretends to be unconscious in a bid to lure us to appear? Wouldn't we be falling into their trap?"

"Hmm, you're right, Changshou. What should we do next?"

Li Changshou thought and said, "Use the same method to release the poison… However, this time, it has to be a fierce and powerful poison that will not give the other party any chance to retaliate."

"We have to consider that they will be able to escape from the effects of the incapacitating agents when they are in a life-and-death situation, so will their essence souls and souls…"

As he spoke, Elder Wan Linyun kept nodding to express his approval.

The elder's eyes were filled with kindness and warmth.

Previously, Elder Wan Linyun had been worried…

He was worried that Li Changshou's cultivation level was too low and could not exert the effects of the poisonous pill and end up wasting those pills that he had painstakingly refined.

However, what happened today made Elder Wan Linyun realize… that his disciple was much more compatible with the Dao of poison than him!

After Li Changshou gave a few more instructions, he said, "If you have doubts, you can kill those great demons first. I have Soul-Bewitching Pearls that can search for their incomplete memories and determine their origins."

"If these human Qi Refinement cultivators attack, it would not be too late for us to kill them. Anyway, they're just demons and we can just kill them."

"Alright!"

Elder Wan Linyun agreed. After some thought, he decided to use his full strength.

The elder lifted his bronze staff from the ground and pointed it upwards. Wisps of thick green poisonous fog spread out from the ground and entered the bodies of the demons that had been bewitched.

Not long after, the demons started trembling.

At first, Li Changshou was a little worried. After all, he did not do it himself. Without the array formation to suppress him, he had wasted too much time and did not have any other tricks up his sleeves. Perhaps, one or two demons' souls might really escape…

However, not long after, Li Changshou was also shocked.

What a powerful Heaven Immortal poison!

It was a lethal poison that could kill the essence soul of the demon of the Heaven Immortal realm!

Very quickly, all the great demons in this place revealed their true forms. A few high-level cultivators waved their hands a few times, but nothing happened.

Their auras were gone, but their demonic power was still full.

Elder Wan Linyun was about to leave when Li Changshou stopped him once again.

It was the umpteenth time…

Why is this elder always trying to come out of the ground? He can just do everything underground!

"Changshou, are we still not going?"

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, "Elder, do you have the True Samadhi Flames or powerful True Flames? Just burn them from far away."

Wan Linyun said, "Of course I do. I have some True Flames called the Omni-poison Soul-Refining Flames. Its power is above the True Samadhi Flames."

The skinny old man immediately followed Li Changshou's instructions and released balls of flames underground…

If someone was watching the array from the sky, they would probably be able to see a horror story.

The figures that were hiding here first fainted silently, and those demons were gradually engulfed by the poisonous fog. Soon, their bodies twitched and they died without struggling at all…

Then, green flames appeared on the ground and devoured the bodies of the demons, producing piles of ashes…

From beginning to end, the demons did not struggle at all. They left peacefully…

The people who had been bewitched did not notice anything.

At this moment, a figure finally emerged from the ground.

She was a young woman in a long dress. She held a pearl in her hand and walked through the pile of ashes.

The Soul-Bewitching Pearls extracted remnant souls, and searched for memory fragments…

After a while, a thick fog emerged from the ground, destroying the essence soul of the human Qi Refinement cultivators.

Flames rose, and the interior of the concealment array… was green.

The young lady paced back and forth while the Soul-Bewitching Pearl spun rapidly…

All of a sudden, a streak of sanguine light emerged from the green fire and flew towards the young lady, piercing her neck.

The lady tilted her head and turned to look at the sanguine light. Then, she patted it gently.

Crack!

A mosquito with bloodied wings and a black body was killed by the woman.

Another ray of sanguine light was about to fly over, but it was engulfed by balls of True Flames, instantly turning into a ball of blood.

The mosquito was not a real mosquito. It seemed to be formed from condensed blood and put together through mystical abilities.

At the same time, Daoist Wen Jing, who was dressed in the blood-colored robe, opened her eyes in a stone cave near a spirit mountain in the Aparagodānīya Continent. Her eyes were filled with shock.

She had been collecting puppets for a period of time. How could one-third of them be destroyed without a sound?

Due to the fact that she was too far away, Daoist Wen Jing took a long time to realize that something was amiss.

Most importantly… who was that woman just now?

Why couldn't I find her essence soul?

Could it be that some expert had taken action?

Daoist Wen Jing narrowed her eyes and felt a little wary.

The casualties may have caught her off guard.

However, the three most important Qi Refinement cultivators of the Golden Ao Island were not affected because they were hiding behind the Blood Lotus. Their plan had not failed completely.

Daoist Wen Jing continued to close her eyes to sense the array. However, she could no longer "see" what was happening inside the array.

The puppets were all dead.

In the forest in the East Continent.

Underground.

As they captured the light, Li Changshou and Wan Linyun exchanged glances…

Elder Wan Linyun's thoughts were rather simple. He sighed deep down.

"Fortunately, Changshou, you are very alert. If we get ambushed, the Immortal Du Sect would be in danger!"

Li Changshou, on the other hand, was thinking too much…

Mosquitoes?

It could control one's mind through mosquitoes?

Was there such a powerful mosquito during the Primordial World?

Could it be that… the Holy Mother of The Turtle Spirit had sucked dry the disciples of Jie School, as well as the twelfth-grade Golden Lotus and third-grade Bloodied-wing Black Mosquitoes!?!

Could she really be this big boss?

The Primordial world is really dangerous!

"Elder, don't go out. Use the True Flames to burn this place."

"Sure!"

At that moment, tragic green flames filled the air, and the trees were engulfed by the flames.

Another hour later, the interior of the array was extremely clean. There was not a single trace left behind. The ground was barren, and not a single blade of grass could be seen.

A few figures emerged from the ground. They quickly used their Dharma powers to gather all the ashes together.

They also stored all the remaining and burned storage Dharma treasures, into a few treasure pouches together with other treasures.

Then, one of them held a wooden fish and knocked it lightly. The rest of them began to recite the sutras.

Underground, Wan Linyun asked in confusion, "Changshou, what are you doing?"

Li Changshou smiled and said, "Reciting the sutras and dispelling the karma. If the remnant soul is unable to be absorbed by the Soul-Bewitching Pearl, I'll send them to the underworld to reincarnate and avoid future troubles."

"Later, Elder, you will strike again and shatter these ashes before scattering them everywhere. Bury them where they should be."

"Cultivation is supposed to be about taking in the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Allow them to return to nature after they die. This is also in line with the Dao of the Immortal Du Sect."

Elder Wan Linyun nodded with a smile.

When the chanting stopped, the Poison Immortal waved his Daoist robe in the ground. The huge pile of ashes floated up and landed in various parts of the array formation.

Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart.

Perfect…

Although I did not do it personally…

The sense of accomplishment is still there…

Elder Wan Linyun blinked. "Perfect? What do you mean?"

Li Changshou quickly said, "Oh, I mean we don't have to worry anymore."

Then, he quickly put away the jade pendant in his hand and stopped transmitting his thoughts.

Elder Wan Linyun recalled the entire process of the two of them killing the enemy. He felt a surge of emotions in his heart as he looked at Li Changshou…

He liked him even more.

Then, those figures drilled into the ground and turned into paper effigies, which Li Changshou kept in an empty treasure pouch.

He had to disinfect it before he could continue using it…

He did not dare to underestimate Elder Wan Linyun's poison.

"Elder, let's go back. Leave these things and the Soul-Bewitching Pearls to the sect. Let them deal with them."

"Alright."

"By the way, Elder, there's another matter. This time, please don't say that I was here…"

And was doing that.

Li Changshou instructed him along the way. While being underground, they slipped back to the Immortal Du Sect…

Report chapter

Chapter 85: The Plan to Destroy Mosquitoes Is…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Elder, you should go to Heaven-Breaking Peak first. I will return to the peak to cultivate soon."

He had just entered the mountain-protecting array and entered the mountain gate carved out of white jade.

Li Changshou handed the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the treasure pouch containing the battle spoils to Elder Wan Linyun respectfully.

It was not that he did not want to hide and keep any of the treasures for himself.

Most of the storage Dharma treasures that he had collected this time were destroyed in Elder Wan Linyun's poisonous flames. There was not much value left…

Moreover, it was a matter that concerned the survival of the sect.

It was not easy for him to have someone to rely on in the vast Primordial world.

To be frank, the Immortal Du Sect had always treated him well as an "outstanding" disciple. Even though he was the weakest and poorest disciple in the sect, he had never been put in a spot or reprimanded by anyone since he started cultivating.

On the contrary, many elders of the Hundred Mortal Hall took care of him on account of the spiritual fish and snakeheads…

Therefore, Li Changshou did not want to see the sect fall.

For example, he had revealed the two trump cards, the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the Sensing Stone, in front of Elder Wan Linyun today.

That was a small effort for him.

His principle was to help only when he was certain that he could protect himself.

Elder Wan Linyun squinted when he saw Li Changshou lowering his head to hand over the treasures and Soul-Bewitching Pearls. He revealed a cold smile and kept them in his sleeve.

The Perfected Immortal executives at the immortal sect who were hanging their heads low and the immortals who were guarding the gate, were all worried for Li Changshou.

They did not know who this disciple who was at the Void Return Stage was, but… they felt that he would be unpredictable after seeing Elder Wan Linyun's smile!

Elder Wan Linyun immediately flew to the Heaven-Breaking Peak in a bid to talk to the Sect Leader and Grand Elder about the matter.

Li Changshou turned around and bowed to the immortals in the sect.

He then rode a cloud and flew at a low altitude. He found a cloud path that was rarely used and slowly drifted towards Little Qiong Peak.

On the way back, Li Changshou had been thinking about the mosquito that the paper doll had killed…

This mosquito…

I wonder if mosquito repellent would work on them.

When he returned to Little Qiong Peak, he saw that his junior and master were still practicing their escape techniques diligently.

Li Changshou did not disturb them and went straight to the Pill Chamber.

He activated various array formations and looked at the Sensing Stones that were hanging all over the place. Then, he let the paper effigy return to its original appearance…

A wisp of green smoke floated out from the ground and condensed into Li Changshou's figure. He lifted his hand and grabbed the paper effigy before putting it into his sleeve.

He mumbled, "Speaking of mosquito-killing agents… What is going on? What are mosquitoes afraid of? Should I add poison to blood?"

Li Changshou was amused by his own thoughts.

If it was really a ruthless character like Daoist Wen, he would definitely not be able to deal with them.

However, Li Changshou could think of a way to deal with a mosquito that could control puppets and be smacked to death by paper effigies, like the ones he encountered today.

The Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had natural targets to restrain!

Come to think of it…

The various arrangements that I had made in the past six months have not been in vain.

The sacrifice of those old trees was worth it!

Li Changshou lamented in his heart. He took out the previous paper effigies, who had cleaned up the battlefield and recited the sutras.

He opened the Pill Furnace and injected the True Samadhi Flames into the paper dolls with the original mystical abilities.

The flames danced, and the paper effigies turned into ashes.

Then, Li Changshou checked the pieces of items that could prevent deductions on his body…

After making sure that everything was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Very quickly, he was lost in his thoughts again. He quietly thought about what he might have exposed.

The paper effigies that killed the mosquito had simulated his aura…

He and Elder Wan Linyun had never shown themselves…

The Elder's True Flames almost burnt that mountain down to nothing…

"There should not be any mistakes."

However, Li Changshou realized that Elder Wan Linyun shared a similarity with his master. They were both easily triggered.

Could it be that they had been cultivating in the mountains for too long and had forgotten about the dangers of the Primordial World?

Fortunately, I managed to stop the elder in time the past few times. Otherwise, if he personally appeared and was ambushed by the mosquitoes, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

As he paced back and forth in the Pill Chamber, he kept trying to figure out what was going on. His train of thought gradually became clearer…

What happened today was not beyond his expectations.

Half a year ago, he had made a list of all the possible ways things could develop.

The battle today only confirmed two or three storylines.

"As expected."

Apart from the fact that the Immortal Du Sect was under the Ren School, there was nothing special about it.

The reason why he had attracted the attention of others was that the Immortal Du Sect and the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Golden Ao Island had a little conflict earlier on.

Some people wanted to make an issue of that.

This mastermind had set up a trap in front of the Golden Palace Sect in the Middle Continent and set up an ambush on the Immortal Du Sect. That was to improve the Immortal Du Sect's reputation so that the three sects would know that there was a sect in the East Continent that taught Dao.

After that, the mastermind would take advantage of the meet between the Three Sects and the Golden Palace Sect to control the puppets and destroy the Immortal Du Sect…

To the mastermind, the price and risks were very small but they could achieve a great goal!

Li Changshou seemed to have seen a black shadow standing behind the Immortal Du Sect and reaching out to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

However, there was an even more magnificent figure behind the black figure. It was slightly blurry, and it wanted to slap the black figure in front of it away.

The major sects were fighting in secret.

The Immortal Du Sect had a chance of winning.

The mastermind behind all of this did not dare to come down personally. He only dared to control the puppet remotely through mosquitoes!

This point was verified through the memory fragments of the remnant soul. In the memories of those people and demons, there were the sounds of mosquitoes.

The main point was what the Immortal Du Sect would do next.

If Li Changshou's prediction was correct, there would be a series of sounds soon…

It was definitely not going to be the classic sutra of a certain monk in his afterlife.

Suddenly…

Ding~

The Heaven-Breaking Peak bell rang.

The sound of the bell was extremely penetrating this time.

Once the bell rang, two figures flew out from the various peaks and flew towards the Immortal Du Sect on the main peak.

By the lake, Qi Yuan immediately rushed to Heaven-Breaking Peak on a cloud when he heard the bell ringing.

After all, he was the master of a peak in name.

When Li Changshou saw that, he quickly sent a few instructions to his master. He instructed his master to say silent no matter what he heard or saw and told him to just follow the sect's arrangements.

The sound of the bell woke many disciples who were in seclusion. The Immortal Du Sect became livelier.

The bell that rang during emergency situations might not even ring once every thousand years. The Qi Refinement cultivators of the various peaks were all watching, wondering what had happened…

Not long after, sixteen figures flew out of the Heaven-Breaking Peak and rushed out of the mountain-protecting array, heading towards the "large gray scene".

The first person was the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, followed by Wan Linyun and the other experts in the sect.

Li Changshou knew…

They were not testing the results of the battle. They should be searching for the main force of the enemy.

However, they were destined to return empty-handed this time. At most, they would find some clues left behind when the other party left in a hurry.

The next time the other party appeared, he would definitely launch a full-scale attack on the Immortal Du Sect. Moreover, it should not be too long until then…

Something would definitely happen in three years!

The storm was brewing, and the small peaks were sitting alone.

Li Changshou lay on the rocking chair, holding a jade slip that he had copied in the Dao Repository Hall. He quietly read the words and looked at the images on it.

This feeling of being able to see through the entire situation was quite satisfying…

Of course, the best thing should be that nothing happened…

The jade slip was called the Hundred Spirit Records. It contained information about plenty of delicious… Ahem, plenty of rare spiritual beasts.

There were actually many natural enemies of mosquitoes.

However, if he wanted to find some spiritual beasts that had good spiritual powers, could restrain the Blood Mosquitoes that he had seen today, and could reproduce in large numbers, it would be very troublesome for him.

Hard work does not disappoint.

An hour later, Li Changshou's eyes lit up. He had indeed discovered a spiritual beast that he had been raising in the spiritual beast enclosure of the Little Qiong Peak…

A small smile appeared on his face as he retrieved a porcelain bottle from his pocket.

Back then, when he went to the North Continent to pick herbs, he killed Yuan Qing's group and obtained a pair of Love Gu.

Love Gu was a type of hex parasite. It was considered a witchcraft technique, not a Daoist technique.

At first, Li Changshou wanted to give them to the most precious spiritual beasts he could obtain. He wanted them to mate and create some value…

However, he had yet to find a suitable target.

Some time ago, when he was refining pills to strike a fortune, Li Changshou had studied many unorthodox pill formulas and accidentally found the method to sustain the Love Gu.

He would feed the Love Gu with the Solidifying Poison Herb, turn it into a rock, and call it the Love Stone.

He would then add the spiritual spring water and many herbs to the Love Stone. After soaking for 49 days, he could obtain a type of secret pharmaceutical water.

The potion was a rare item. It had the same effect as the Acacia Tree of Elder Moon. It could even be used in alchemy…

The bottle of pills in Li Changshou's hand was refined from that pharmaceutical water.

Of course, it was specially made for rare spiritual beasts!

"You've worked hard… Big Jade and Small Jade."

Li Changshou stood up, smiled, and floated back to the spiritual beast enclosure at the back of the mountain.

Just as Ling'e was practicing Water Escape, she stood on her tiptoes and looked in the direction of the Pill Chamber. She happened to see Li Changshou floating over with his hands behind his back.

"Stupid Senior Brother, why didn't he come over to talk to me!?!"

"I've been practicing for days and nights without rest. He's not considerate at all…"

The direction Senior Brother went in…

Ling'e pursed her lips and hurriedly followed him. She wanted to see what he was going to get up to in the spiritual beast enclosure.

She did not want to talk to him!

Not long after, Ling'e flew to the sky above the spiritual beast enclosure to see him squatting beside a pool.

Li Changshou waved at Ling'e without looking back…

Ling'e understood what he meant. She retracted her aura and floated to his side on the cloud. She folded her skirt and knelt on the grass, following his gaze.

"Uh…"

"Shh!"

Li Changshou gestured for her to keep quiet. Ling'e could not help but hold her forehead with one hand, not daring to look further.

On a lotus leaf in the pond in front of them, there were two extremely rare "spirit-eating jade frogs" that looked like jade. They were indescribable…

Ling'e pursed her lips and looked away. She whispered to Li Changshou, "Senior Brother, although I'm deeply in love with you, you have to take note of your image! There are some things that cannot be made public. It will affect my evaluation of you."

Li Changshou replied casually, "Thank you, then. Help me change your evaluation of me to mid-tier."

Ling'e rolled her eyes and snorted. "I don't want… I have a good evaluation of you!"

She suddenly blinked and looked at the jade frog. She suddenly recalled something.

"Senior Brother, didn't you say that this kind of spiritual beast is very hard to reproduce? I thought you couldn't bear to use them when refining pills and drinking?"

Li Changshou waved the empty porcelain bottle in his hand and said with a smile, "I have my own plans."

"This is…"

Ling'e suddenly understood something. Her face turned red. At first, she felt a little disgusted. Then, she blinked and deliberately said,

"Eh—

"Senior Brother, you have indeed secretly refined this pill!

"The books were right. It is inevitable for cultivators who liked to refine pills to have such thoughts! Ah, on account that I am your little junior sister… Senior Brother, do you still have any spiritual beasts to mate?"

"I will do my best to help you!"

Li Changshou said calmly, "Don't have any bold ideas. I have placed a special restriction on every bottle of these pills."

"Petty miser… How can you be so wary of your junior sister? What kind of a senior brother are you!?!"

"I can't help it. After all, I have a junior sister who has complicated thoughts."

Ling'e rolled her eyes and looked away at the spiritual beast enclosure at the side. However, her thoughts were elsewhere.

Naturally, she did not know that Li Changshou was indeed busy with work.

That spiritual beast would become an extremely important part of the defense system of Little Qiong Peak…

Moreover, after this calamity, the Jade Frogs would not be wasted. He could also call his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu over, cook the frogs in a hot pot and enjoy them for a meal.

The taste should be pretty good!

After half a day, the dozen or so experts who had gone out returned to the Heaven-Splitting Peak.

After a while, the Sect Leader personally declared that all disciples would be forbidden from going out from that day onwards. The mountain-protecting array was completely sealed.

Following that, the Sect Leader and the few Grand Elders discussed carefully with Elder Wan Linyun about what they should do next…

Elder Wan Linyun was about to be promoted to Grand Supreme. However, he did not care about that. He would usually still cultivate and refine pills silently at Pill Tripod Peak.

At this moment, he was in the sect. His reputation and influence were not good, but his status was not low.

Elder Wan Linyun had single-handedly killed many powerful enemies and resolved a crisis for the Immortal Du Sect. Therefore, the sect had to express their gratitude.

However, it was inappropriate to use "rewards" on an elder who had contributed so much. It was also inappropriate to call it a token of gratitude…

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect thought about it and could only smile and say, "Elder Wan Linyun, you must have used a lot of precious poisonous pills this time. The sect should compensate you for the losses."

Elder Wan Linyun frowned slightly. He looked at the storage ring that the Sect Leader handed him and instinctively shook his head to reject him.

It was only right for him to do that for the sect. He could not accept such a reward.

However, soon, Elder Wan Linyun recalled something. The corners of his lips curled into a cold smile.

On the other hand, he could treat it as a reward for Li Changshou…

"I'll take it."

With that said, Elder Wan Linyun turned around and walked to the door with his walking stick, leaving them to look at his old and elegant back.

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, who was actually of the same generation as Elder Wan Linyun, immediately frowned. He looked at the Grand Elders sitting behind him and asked softly, "Did I say something wrong just now and make Elder Wan unhappy?"

The Grand Elders could only smile bitterly. They were not too familiar with Elder Wan Linyun too…

Chapter 86: If I Were the Culprit Of The Sneak Attack…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

5,000 kilometers southwest of the Immortal Du Sect, black figures were sitting cross-legged quietly in a valley that was covered by an array formation.

Outside the array, there were a few figures hiding in various spots, guarding against any surprise attacks.

There were also three to four people underground…

In the deepest part of the valley, the three cultivators sat in the air in a triangular shape. There was a seven-petaled blood lotus beneath each of them, that was gently spinning.

They had already absorbed half of the three blood lotuses from the Nether Blood Ocean.

A mosquito-like voice sounded in their hearts. The three of them stopped cultivating and listened attentively.

Soon, the three of them opened their eyes and lowered their heads.

"Yes, sir."

The sound of the mosquitoes gradually faded into the distance.

Yuan Ze took a deep breath and said firmly, "Although the vanguard suffered a setback this time, both of us have yet to achieve our Dao and are unable to make a move in time. When we obtain these good fortunes from Master, I will definitely be able to!"

"Fellow Daoist! Stop talking!"

The middle-aged Daoist priest on the left quickly interrupted, "Instead of just talking, we might as well take action. We should have done it earlier and completed the arrangements made by the Lord!"

"Yes!"

The old Daoist priest Yuan Ze laughed awkwardly.

He slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "We're about to condense a Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. It's merely the Immortal Du Sect. Wouldn't it be easy for us to take it down?"

After he finished speaking, the old Daoist priest's lips curled into a smile, seemingly confident that they would be safe…

The two Qi Refinement cultivators on Golden Ao Island, who had also had their Essence Soul Dao corroded by the Blood Mosquitoes, could not help but frown and look at each other.

He still said it in the end.

Why don't we give Lord a warning… to change it?

The two of them shook their heads and pondered. However, they soon regained their composure and slowly closed their eyes.

Their minds were completely occupied by that voice…

Absorb lotus flowers, condense Dao Fruits, and destroy the Immortal Du Sect.

There were no longer many opportunities for them to think on their own…

The three blood lotuses spun slowly once again. Rays of sanguine light darted out and entered their Daoist robes, before filling their void Dao Fruits…

"Xuanya, there have been some disturbances in the sect recently. The situation in the sect is not stable. Don't go into seclusion for the time being. If the sect gets into trouble, head to the Hundred Mortal Hall in time."

Standing on the white cloud, Youqin Xuanya felt a cool breeze blowing at her. Her master's advice echoed in her heart.

Disaster…

If the sect gets attacked, what should I do as the current Head Disciple?

If a powerful enemy comes to attack the sect, we the disciples who have yet to be immortalized, would not be able to withstand it.

If such a disaster really happens, and the mountain-protecting array slips into danger, the disciples of the various peaks would allow the sect to have more power to defend against external enemies by taking good care of themselves and not causing trouble for the Immortals in the sect.

She hated the fact that she had yet to become an immortal. Hence, she could not help her Master and Grandmaster solve their problems.

She had to do something.

Youqin Xuanya pursed her thin lips. Her gaze was filled with more determination as she turned around and flew to the Hundred Mortal Hall.

Soon, she received the Hundred Mortal Hall's permission and took the Token of Permission from the elder. She was about to visit every peak and notify the disciples of her generation that there were earth meridians in their sect that had gone off-path.

After leaving the Hundred Mortal Hall, Youqin Xuanya thought for a while and headed straight… to Little Qiong Peak.

The Little Qiong Peak only has the support of Uncle-Master Qi Yuan, Senior Brother Changshou, and Junior Sister Ling'e. It's naturally the most prone to encountering enemies. It'd be reasonable to inform them first.

Youqin Xuanya found a reason for herself and flew to the Little Qiong Peak with some uneasiness.

From afar, she could already see Ling'e floating on the surface of the lake. She instantly felt much more relaxed. She stepped on the clouds and slowly descended.

As soon as she entered the isolation array outside the Little Qiong Peak, she heard some noises…

Croak…

The frogs that were both near and far away kept croaking while jade shadows flickered by the lake.

The place was originally a spiritual land meant for cultivation, but it seemed to offer carefree pastoral pleasure.

Youqin Xuanya landed by the lake and scrutinized the lively jade frogs. She was elated.

Ever since Li Changshou gave her an extremely adorable pink spiritual beast that was a boar, he had unexpectedly opened a door to a new world for her.

Although she had gone into seclusion too frequently and accidentally caused the death of the spiritual beast, which she mourned over for several months before burying it under the Heaven-Breaking Peak… Youqin Xuanya developed a strong penchant for such adorable spiritual beasts.

Standing by the lake, she leaned over gently. The water of the lake reflected her intoxicating looks and her charming figure.

Youqin Xuanya stared at the two small Spirit-Eating Jade Frogs. There was a faint smile on her face that was usually cold and beautiful.

However, the two little frogs that had just been "abnormal" seemed to have noticed her gaze as they jumped back into the shallow water beside the lake at the same time. With a kick, they disappeared along with the ripples in the water.

Youqin Xuanya raised her hand to adjust her hair, but her gaze was very gentle.

At that moment, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. Three pearls slowly rotated, emitting a gentle glow.

Next, a beautiful figure slowly rose and emerged from the lake with two water balls in her hands. The one in her left hand contained a spiritual fish, while the one in her right contained a jade frog…

Under the soft light, Ling'e squinted and said leisurely, "Beautiful Senior Sister, Do you want this delicious snakehead or this delectable jade frog?"

"Or do you want your cute and virtuous Junior Sister, Ling'e, to make some tea and some snacks for you?"

Youqin Xuanya could not help but burst into laughter. In an instant, she looked just like a plum blossom blooming, and a snow lotus that was starting to bloom.

Ling'e jumped over from the lake and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, go take a seat inside. Senior has gone to Pill Tripod Peak."

"Okay," Youqin Xuanya replied gently and took two steps forward with Ling'e.

Youqin Xuanya suddenly snapped back to her senses. She seemed to have thought of something and was slightly stunned…

Delicious?

"Are these all edible?"

Ling'e blinked. "What do you think?"

"Snakeheads are delicious. They can be fried, steamed, or brewed with soup. They can also be cooked with the seasoning specially made by Senior!"

"The head of the Jade Frog can also be turned into a dish, a gluttonous Jade Frog… Senior imparted his culinary skills to me back then!"

Youqin Xuanya frowned. "Since we have already abstained from eating. Why must we eat these?"

Ling'e smiled and said, "Perhaps Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu can explain this. Wine is useless for cultivation, but Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu still values it like it's her life. Isn't it the same with appetite?"

"That's true…"

"I'll have to prove it to you." Ling'e rolled up her sleeves, took out a bag of seasoning, and headed towards the kitchen beside the lake. "Senior Sister, please wait a moment. I'll show you what I can do today!"

Youqin Xuanya blinked. Just as she was about to say something, Ling'e was already humming a tune and leaping towards the stove.

Some flames flew out from Ling'e's fingertips and there was suddenly fire beneath the stove.

With a snap of her fingers, a spiritual fish jumped out of the lake as if it had jumped onto the chopping board.

Ling'e took out a sharp Dharma artifact which was a dagger meant for removing the fishiness of fish, patted the spiritual fish until it was unconscious, and started to get busy…

Youqin Xuanya walked over curiously, but she temporarily forgot about the important matters.

An hour later…

"It looks pretty good."

"Senior Sister, try it. My skills are not inferior to Senior's."

"Mmm… How fragrant!"

Youqin Xuanya held onto a pair of jade chopsticks, and her eyes were glistening.

At the side, Ling'e had already taken out a short table. She took out a bottle of fruit wine that would not make one drunk. She and Youqin Xuanya enjoyed the fish over some drinks by the lake.

Soon, a white cloud emerged from Pill Tripod Peak…

Ling'e looked at the white cloud's height and immediately said, "Senior is back. Senior Sister, don't you have something important to discuss with me and Senior?"

"Yes." Youqin Xuanya quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up to welcome him.

This time, Li Changshou did not hide. He rode the cloud and floated over.

"Senior! Senior Sister Youqin has been waiting for you!" Ling'e called out.

"Senior Brother Changshou," Youqin Xuanya greeted gently and bowed to Li Changshou.

"Junior Sister Youqin, you don't have to be so polite." Li Changshou bowed to return the courtesy. "Why are you looking for me?"

Youqin Xuanya looked at Li Changshou and told him about the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array. Then, she said, "If there are external enemies attacking the mountain, the mountain-protecting array will be in danger. Senior Brother Changshou and Junior Sister Ling'e, you guys should head to the Hundred Mortal Hall. There is a way to escape there."

"We have yet to become immortals. If we remain here, it would be a waste because we will just cause the elders in the sect to be distracted."

Li Changshou frowned and asked, "Junior Sister Youqin, have you told the disciples of the various peaks about this?"

"No…"

Youqin Xuanya was a little embarrassed. "I… decided to come to Little Qiong Peak first."

She continued, "I was thinking if I could ask you to help me and go to the various peaks with me to discuss this matter with the other disciples of the same generation."

Ling'e blinked and did not say anything else.

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He reminded, "You should change the way you break the news to them. Do not mention the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array."

"Junior Sister Youqin, have you ever thought that the number of disciples in the current generation have probably only joined the sect for between tens to hundreds of years?"

"If an external enemy intentionally plants a snitch among them, wouldn't breaking the news to them explicitly be akin to cutting off the escape route for the disciples when an external enemy attacks the mountain?"

Youqin Xuanya was stunned. Then, she frowned slightly. "What you said makes sense, Senior Brother Changshou. However, if you don't trust others, how can you convince them?"

Li Changshou said seriously, "Trust should come only after you know someone well. If you don't know them well, how can you believe them? There were twists and turns in human hearts. It's hard to know what their true colors are."

He continued, "Furthermore, Junior Sister Youqin, why do you think that there is no one in our sect who is afraid of death and is willing to submit to the enemy to survive?"

"But…"

Youqin Xuanya was at a loss for words. However, she did not know how to defend herself. She pondered continuously.

Li Changshou said warmly, "We are grateful to the sect, but we can only speak for ourselves. We cannot ask others to be like us. The Dao of Heaven and Earth comes from the heart. Whether or not a Dao is proper, will also depend on the human heart. Junior Sister Youqin, you can see that in this world, no two people have exactly the same Dao, not even a master and his disciple."

Youqing Xuanya said, "I've been enlightened…"

Youqin Xuanya bowed deeply to Li Changshou, her eyes filled with admiration. She said softly, "It's my fault for being careless. Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother Changshou."

"Senior Brother, please teach me how to deal with this matter."

"Junior, you don't have to be so formal." Li Changshou even bowed to her. However, he concluded in his heart.

To deal with someone like this toxic girl, it is surprisingly effective to reason with her…

Li Changshou smiled and said, "Since you want to inform the disciples of the various peaks in advance, why don't you change your words? Just tell them to hurry to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to hide if any emergencies crop up in the sect."

"By then, you will guide them to the Hundred Mortal Hall. It will be better than having everyone rush to the Hundred Mortal Hall at the same time."

Youqin Xuanya's eyes lit up. She said softly, "That's right. If it wasn't for your guidance…"

"Junior Sister Youqin, you're just a little anxious. You can think of that idea if you just give it some thought."

Li Changshou cut her off without a trace. Then, he made an inviting gesture. "We should not delay this matter. Junior Sister Youqin, don't procrastinate any longer."

"Yes." Youqin Xuanya nodded slightly, bowed to Li Changshou, and rode a cloud towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

Naturally, she had gone to discuss this matter with the elders of the Hundred Mortal Hall in a bid to remind them not to leak the news.

After hearing Senior Brother Changshou's advice…

It is very likely that… there is really a spy!

Beside the lake, Ling'e winked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou smiled at her and rode a cloud to the Pill Chamber.

A moment later.

Li Changshou was seated by the desk in the secret underground chamber of the Pill Chamber.

Li Changshou played with the storage ring that Elder Wan Linyun had given him, which was marked by the Sect Leader. He stared at the terrain map which he had previously drawn, on the flat table in front of him.

There were huge amounts of poisonous herbs in the storage ring. It was likely a reward from the sect to Elder Wan Linyun.

He had once again received a bunch of poisonous pills and incapacitating agents from Elder Wan Linyun…

Li Changshou decided to return the favor. He decided to use that batch of poisonous pills as "public funds" by using them on the guards who were secretly keeping watch.

Now…

Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table and began to analyze.

If I were those guys, which direction would I choose to launch a sneak attack from?

Half a year later, three thousand kilometers from the north-west of the Immortal Du Sect.

Black shadows flew close to the ground and quickly rushed through a desolate valley. However, those people did not notice that there was a cobweb on a rock on the side of the cliff, that was floating gently in the wind.

At the same time, they moved towards the dense forest more than 300 kilometers ahead.

A wooden box that was buried under the tree was gently pushed open. A paper effigy covered in cloth jumped out and used Wood Escape immediately to delve into… the trunk of the old tree beside it.

Report chapter

Chapter 87: Poison Array Battle. Heh, Poison Array Battle!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

They're coming…

Or rather, they're finally here.

In the darkness, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of being targeted by thieves.

Li Changshou felt a little pressured as these enemies did not appear for a long time.

Ever since he obtained the ring given to him by Elder Wan Linyun half a year ago, Li Changshou had begun preparing for the third stage of the battle.

Now, it was time to test the results…

If the other party wanted to launch a sneak attack, they would have to approach the Immortal Du Sect from underground. Then, they would attack.

That would give Li Changshou a lot of room to maneuver.

The direction in which the other party appeared, and their path…

I was right!

Although for safety reasons, Li Changshou had also ambushed the paper effigies with 'Earth' characters under the ground of the other five possible paths, the enemies were behaving favorably.

The path that they had chosen to launch a sneak attack was one of the three main paths that he had set up.

The only thing that Li Changshou found to be unideal was that the opponent had launched a sneak attack two to three months apart from the time that he had expected…

In fact, Li Changshou had previously guessed that he and Elder Wan Linyun might have caused the mastermind to give up on destroying the Immortal Du Sect after they schemed against him…

However…

The enemies arrived late, but they still arrived.

At that moment, the seven paper effigies with the 'Heaven' character remained motionless. They hid outside the mountain gate and waited quietly.

Their purpose was still to surround the rear after the great battle.

That battle tactic did not change.

On the other hand, the six paper effigies that had the character 'Earth' written on them, were distributed along the six paths that Li Changshou had found in advance. He had spent two to three months setting up many simple poison arrays on those six paths.

What was the Poison Array?

Of course, they were array formations that poisonous pills were added to.

What was different was that the poison arrays that Li Changshou had set up were very obscure and slightly bewitching. His goal was for the arrays to not be easily detected.

Once someone entered the array, the poisonous powder and poisonous fog would explode instantly. None of their poisonous properties would be wasted!

That was the true essence of the Poison Array that Li Changshou understood!

When Li Changshou set up the poisonous arrays, he had never thought that he could use them to destroy his enemies.

The reason was simple. Since the other party dared to attack the Immortal Du Sect, which was guarded by a Golden Immortal, they must have a Golden Immortal expert as well…

In fact, Li Changshou had even considered that the other party might have a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He had also made the corresponding arrangements.

However, with the poison array he had set up with the "divine" paper effigies, he would be able to destroy the enemies easily even if their Golden Immortal was powerful.

Therefore, the poisonous arrays could only be used as land mines that would instantly explode.

Li Changshou decided to let the paper effigy lay in ambush only because he reckoned that the other party had at least two Golden Immortals. He did not call for Elder Lin Yun to help him.

He wanted to prevent him from raising his bronze-skinned walking stick and going to fight the Golden Immortals for the sake of Ren School.

The functions of the six paper effigies were to disturb the enemy, trap the enemy, expose the enemy's whereabouts, warn the sect in time, and weaken the enemy to a certain extent!

Hiding in the trunk of a tree, Paper Effigy No. 3 with the 'Earth' character was wobbling. Its body expanded rapidly and transformed into a young and handsome immortal who was clad in a long robe.

His aura and appearance were completely different from Li Changshou.

At that moment, half of Li Changshou's attention was on the paper Daoist. Using the spider webs that he had set up previously, he monitored the group of black shadows that were rushing towards him from 200 kilometers away…

Li Changshou soon realized that there were dozens of figures traveling underground.

The figures followed behind a few great demons who could only burrow into the ground. Although they concealed their auras, their obscurity was far inferior to Earth Escape.

Has the perfected pangolin become smart?

However, Li Changshou had considered that point before.

Some of the poisonous arrays that he had set up were hidden rather deep below ground, and the large array foundations were also arranged diagonally…

"Eh? Something's not right."

In the darkness, Li Changshou frowned. Images overlapped in his heart, and he quickly organized them.

There is also a group of ambushers in the southwest!

The enemies have decided to split up!

However…

It doesn't matter…

Li Changshou split his attention into two and multi-tasked to activate 'Earth' Paper Effigy No. 5.

Using the paper effigy, he activated a layer of poisonous arrays in the south-west direction and found a pool to hide in.

After carefully observing for a while, Li Changshou chuckled.

The current situation was indeed beyond his expectations. He had to admit that there was a certain element of luck involved…

He had used two of the three "'sneak attack paths" that he had set up the Poison Arrays in!

The enemies are really warm and considerate. I'm afraid that his efforts will be wasted.

Soon, both of Li Changshou's paper effigies sensed the pressure from a Golden Immortal.

There were two paths in the southwest and one in the north.

Three Golden Immortals?

Although Li Changshou had sensed that the Dao runes of the three Golden Immortals were a little strange, the suppression of the Golden Immortals was real.

Three Golden Immortals…

The situation is a little unpredictable. It is indeed not easy to deal with.

In the darkness, Li Changshou closed his eyes again and muttered in his heart…

'Human' Paper Daoist No.3, activate!

In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou, who was in a daze while sitting in front of the Pill Furnace, trembled. His eyes gradually glistened.

He immediately shut down the array around the Little Qiong Peak and sent a voice transmission to Ling'e.

Ling'e, who was cultivating the Water Escape and Earth Escape on the surface of the lake, was momentarily stunned. Then, she jumped into the air and rushed towards the straw hut by the lake…

"Master! Senior had fainted in the Pill Chamber! Quickly go and take a look!"

Listening to Ling'e's panicky shouting, Li Changshou's attention was attracted by the enemies that were three thousand kilometers north-west.

The group of powerful enemies has entered the Poison Array…

They had been flying close to the ground and hiding their figures, but they had neglected the path ahead.

More than ten figures at the front rushed into the first poison array in the northwest direction.

The poisonous fog exploded, and two people immediately fell!

However, the other ten-odd people's expressions did not change at all. Their reactions were also quite fast. The glows of immortal powers and demonic powers bloomed around them as they took out the antidotes and stuffed it into their mouths. They immediately retreated backward…

The formation that those people were charging at immediately became chaotic.

"There's an array formation!"

"It's a simple trap made of poisonous pills. They are indeed cautious. They used their powers to blow open the array formation!"

"Break through quickly!

"Don't miss the opportunity to meet up!"

Immediately, a few Heaven Immortal realm demons moved forward and activated their divine powers, blowing away the Poison Arrays effortlessly.

In that short moment, the dozen or so people who had rushed into the Poison Array previously spat out blood and howled miserably. Their essence souls flew away.

The Myriad Poison Pill was of extraordinary quality.

Current results: Six Perfected Immortals Down in One Day.

Soon after, the group of enemies from the southwest also rushed into the forest where the first Poison Array was located.

Li Changshou found the right time to activate the poisonous array formation. As the green fog danced in the air, five more Perfected Immortals were down.

Another Heaven Immortal's essence soul had been poisoned, and he had lost his combat strength in a short period of time.

Poison Array harassment tactic, Green Gate!

Speaking of which, Elder Wan Linyun was too biased towards the color green. The poisonous fog and poisonous powder of the Poison Pill were an intense green color…

Li Changshou was different. He wanted the poison to be colorless and tasteless.

Li Changshou maintained his escape technique to keep the paper effigies going. They then fused with the trees and ponds.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, continued to observe in the dark. Through the two paper effigies, he controlled the subsequent Poison Array…

The ambushers still did not realize what was going on in front of them. They did not change their path at all and continued charging forward.

It seems that these guys have a problem with thinking after being controlled.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart and observed the situation inside the sect.

Um…

It was still very peaceful.

The Immortal Du Sect had arranged for secret guards to guard against the enemy from a distance of five hundred kilometers away from the sect.

That was because the Sect Leader and the elders felt that that distance was enough for them to react in time after discovering the enemy.

However, Li Changshou believed that the Sect Leader and the elders… were too confident.

Of course, he would not stand out and say those things. He was just a "poor-quality junior immortal" on the Little Qiong Peak.

The only thing he could do was to secretly expand the surveillance range to 3,500 kilometers and focus on a few paths.

He continued to monitor the southwest and northwest with his mind.

The two groups of black shadows had a tacit understanding as well. Almost at the same time, they bypassed a Poison Array hidden by Li Changshou and charged into another one.

The green fog exploded once again. The two places of explosions were thousands of kilometers apart, and seven to eight figures were swept up during each explosion.

Li Changshou used the cobweb to search carefully. Indeed, he had once again captured the traces of the Blood Mosquitoes on the Perfected Immortals who had been poisoned.

The Blood Mosquitoes that appeared this time quickly turned into blood Qi and dissipated.

This situation…

It is very possible that the 'Daoist Wen' no longer cared about the matters in this place. She had probably left early to avoid being targeted by a master of the Ren School…

If that was the case, the Immortal Du Sect would have a higher chance of winning.

In total, there were seventy-eight demons, humans, and spirits of the Heaven Immortal realm, three Golden Immortals who were in a strange state, and more than a thousand Perfected Immortals.

The force formed an obvious suppression on the Immortal Du Sect.

Moreover, Li Changshou was not sure if there were any other ambushers in the other directions that he could not detect…

He had to consider that.

From the looks of it, this is indeed the tribulation of the Immortal Du Sect.

The only Golden Immortal he knew in the sect was the Sect Leader. There were only over fifty Heaven Immortals and Elders. There were many Perfected Immortals and Essence Immortals in the sect, but he did not know how much combat power they could unleash.

During normal circumstances, the Immortal Du Sect was used to being quiet and unoccupied. They rarely practiced the formations of a hundred or a thousand people.

Had they spent half of the efforts they spent on their Dao companions, on practicing the arrays… Li Changshou wouldn't have had such a hard time!

The attackers from both directions were also tough-headed. They advanced a hundred kilometers and suffered three consecutive losses. Only then did they slow down and start to use their Dharma treasures to test the situation.

It's exactly as if they are trying to say…

Are you impressive just because you have plenty of Poison Arrays?

I will use my life to resist!

Li Changshou chuckled and did not think too much about it. He focused on controlling the two paper effigies and the opportunity to activate the Poison Array…

Soon, the battle results increased to more than forty Perfected Immortals, three Heaven Immortals, and four severely Heaven Immortals.

Although Li Changshou had yet to injure his opponent, his opponent's speed had slowed down, giving Li Changshou more chances to prepare.

The effect of the Poison Array is not bad. I can focus on it in the future…

Sensing that his master and junior were already approaching the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou split his attention and focused on the paper effigy.

Due to the fact that he had set up too many paper effigies, Li Changshou had also made detailed arrangements.

The 'Heavenly' paper effigies were in charge of surrounding the enemies after the battle began.

They each carried a large number of original paper effigies and poisonous powder. Li Changshou ensured that their auras and looks did not have any similarities with his.

Their entrance was after the battle erupted. When the battle ended, the paper effigies would quickly retreat.

The 'Earth' paper effigies were responsible for warning Li Changshou and injuring the enemy before the battle. They were mainly used to control the Poison Array. Their auras and looks were completely different from Li Changshou.

Two 'Earth' paper effigies were currently performing their intended functions.

The 'Human' paper effigies were responsible for protecting his junior and master. Although there were few of them, they were all arranged beside the latter.

For example, the 'Human' Paper Effigy No. 3 was in charge of accompanying his junior and master later. It was pretending to be Li Changshou's real body and was rushing to the earth meridians with Ling'e to escape…

Little Qiong Peak's Recovery Array would be taken over by the 'Heaven' paper effigy. It was also a 'trap' that could bury powerful enemies.

A few thumps could be heard outside the Pill Chamber. A few spirit-cultivation Jade-Eating Frogs had jumped into the pond…

Ling'e and Qi Yuan yelled.

"Senior!"

"Changshou, what's wrong?"

Two figures rushed into the array formation outside the Pill Chamber…

Qi Yuan looked at Li Changshou, who was sitting cross-legged, and was slightly stunned. He turned to glare at Ling'e.

"Didn't you say that your senior brother was unconscious? He's well, isn't he!?!"

Ling'e blinked and suddenly pointed at the spot behind Qi Yuan.

"Master, look! Senior Brother's essence soul has left his body!"

"Eh?"

Qi Yuan turned around and saw his eldest disciple smiling apologetically at him.

A refreshing fragrance wafted up the tip of Old Daoist Qi Yuan's nose. Before he could react, the medicinal effect had already taken effect on his essence soul.

The Turbid Immortal, who had a weaker foundation, rolled his eyes and slowly fell to the ground…

"Li Changshou" was quick-witted. He pulled out a beast-skin sack and placed his master inside.

He exclaimed gently, "Little!"

It was a custom-made version of Li Changshou's Master's personalized sack, which was made of more than ten types of spiritual beast hides. It instantly turned into the size of a pouch and was handed to Ling'e by Li Changshou.

Ling'e sealed the porcelain bottle in her hand and said uneasily, "Senior Brother, will Master scold us to death in the future for plotting against him like this?"

Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back.

He said via voice transmission, "You know Master's personality as well. If a powerful enemy comes to attack, Master will definitely be the first to fight them. I will explain to Master later on."

"Junior Sister, wait here for me, just like during the previous drills. In a while, the bell in the sect will ring. When the disciples rush to the Heaven-Breaking Peak, use the Earth Escape Technique to bring Master and me to the earth meridians. I want to use paper effigies to help me fight. My mind is not here."

Ling'e looked serious as she said, "Yes! Senior Brother, don't worry! I will take good care of you and Master!"

"Don't worry too much. I will always be by your and Master's side," Li Changshou said. "Even if I cannot protect the Immortal Du Sect this time, I will still protect you two."

Ling'e bit her lips and asked softly, "Senior Brother, I still feel uneasy… What level are you at now?"

Li Changshou pursed his lips. "Level 8 of Void Return Stage."

"Oh." Ling'e pursed her lips and did not ask further.

Li Changshou laughed and did not waste any more effort. After all, there were still many places where he needed to put more effort into…

This paper effigy sat in front of the Pill Furnace and closed his eyes.

Ling'e also knelt beside Li Changshou. She tied her master's canvas bag around her waist and waited quietly for the bell to ring.

Although she did not know what was going on with the strong enemy, she felt that it was 80% right since Li Changshou said so…

As for the other 20%…

It's possible that this is a small test that Senior Brother has for me!

While the two of them worked together to knock out their master, the two enemy troops had already charged from two directions, into the area 1,500 kilometers away where the Poison Arrays were the most densely-packed.

If one were to look down from the sky, they would be able to see some strange scenes.

Two swarms of black shadows flew close to the ground like locusts, but they kept moving and stopping. Their formation was disrupted from time to time.

In the various terrains on both sides in front of them, there would always be a thick fog that would gush out without warning.

Even though they were already on guard, they could not help but fall to the ground every time the Poison Array erupted.

Li Changshou was slightly impressed by that situation…

At this moment, the other party has yet to come to their senses.

Logically speaking, these guys should have felt that they had been exposed when they discovered the first Poison Array.

What Li Changshou was most worried about was that those puppets would fly into the sky and directly attack the Immortal Du Sect's mountain gate. The Poison Array that followed would then not have much effect on them…

However, just as Li Changshou had predicted, after becoming puppets, the demons, humans, and spirits had lost most of their abilities to think. They only knew how to follow orders.

That gave the Poison Arrays a good opportunity to function.

After counting the distance between the two powerful enemies and the gate, he realized that it was already close to 2,500 kilometers.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He borrowed the hands of the two paper effigies and activated the remaining Poison Arrays that were facing both directions.

If he had known that the enemies were that tough, he would have set up ten times the number of Poison Arrays in a few directions at the same time. He might have been able to resolve most of the sect's crisis…

Forget it. Elder did not give me that many poisonous pills anyway. It's useless to think about it.

At the bottom of the tree trunk and the pond, two paper effigies who had completed the first half of their mission had disappeared and left temporarily.

Li Changshou's mind…

was instantly shifted to the 'Explode' Paper Effigy No. 3 and No. 5!

In the blink of an eye, two sullen-faced elders flew out from a forest and a stream respectively, which were a few kilometers away from the mountain-protecting array formation.

They flew into the sky in a daze, looking down at the Immortal Du Sect from the southwest and northwest.

The location where those two old daoists were, perfectly corresponded to the two enemy troops!

Their auras were trembling, and immortal power surged within their bodies.

Immortal power emerged from the Immortal Du Sect and was immediately attracted by the two old cultivators.

An old-looking elder muttered some words that resonated with the thoughts of many other immortals.

"What are these two Fellow Daoists doing? Why do they look like strangers…"

Crack!

In the darkness, Li Changshou snapped his fingers and quickly retracted his thoughts from the two paper effigies.

"Open your eyes and take a look!"

The two old Daoists raised their heads and roared emitting dazzling immortal light from the inside out…

They then exploded outside the array!

The sound was like rumbling thunder. The immortal power that erupted transformed into a wave of air that surged forward, causing the mountain-protecting array to quake continuously!

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect who witnessed the scene… were completely confused.

What is going on?

Two Daoists suddenly appeared. They roared and self-destructed, just to shake the mountain-protecting array?

Just to let us hear the sounds?

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect was also awakened from his meditation…

The Golden Immortal Immortal Immortal Spiritual Sense looked in two different directions and immediately discovered two groups of black figures charging towards the Immortal Du Sect!

"Oh no!"

The middle-aged-looking Daoist priest dashed out of his seclusion chamber and appeared on the Heaven-Splitting Peak. He looked towards the north-west, and then towards the south-west. He shouted, and his voice traveled thousands of kilometers.

"Who are you? How dare you offend our Immortal Du Sect!"

"The elders of the various peaks, listen to my orders! Prepare for battle and defend the sect!"

The large bell beside the main hall was knocked against the pillar, and two Perfected Immortal executives immediately hugged it. They tried their best to knock on the bell inside the sect!

Those who were originally in seclusion, cultivating, playing chess, joking, or spending time with their Dao-companion in the sect were all awakened by the Sect Leader's voice!

Numerous figures rushed out from each peak…

On the other side, the two groups of mosquito puppets that more than 2,000 kilometers away had finally discovered the fact that they had exposed their tracks…

Old Daoist Yuan Ze, who was wearing a withered-wood mask, and the other two phony Golden Immortals, gave orders simultaneously!

The figures that were originally speeding along the ground rushed towards the sky in rows. They formed two thick clouds and rushed to the Immortal Du Sect at the same time.

The three Qi Refinement cultivators from Golden Ao Island, who had been hiding their auras, unleashed their Golden Immortal oppressive power!

In the Immortal Du Sect, the Sect Leader and the aura of another Golden Immortal soared into the sky to respond!

Li Changshou secretly observed and noticed that another Golden Immortal's aura was rushing out of the Dao Repository Hall.

Is that…

Elder Qi Ling?

Tsk, his Dao name is indeed strange!

Before Li Changshou could think any further, there were rumbling sounds from various peaks.

On the sixteen high mountains, sixteen pillars of light various colors shot up from the top of the peaks. A steady stream of spiritual power entered the mountain-protecting array formation!

The mountain-protecting array formation was no longer as thin and smooth as it used to be. It was thicker, wider, and was full of power!

In the southwest and north-west directions, two dark clouds rushed over aggressively. Their speed was actually… not much faster than before.

He was going all out and attacking them head-on!

Due to the fact that he had discovered the enemy's tracks in time, the Immortal Du Sect had also started to arrange their troops according to plan.

The Perfected Immortals and Heaven Immortals of the various peaks started to gather towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Then, they were split into two groups, each flying towards the southwest, northwest, and the outer peaks.

The Essence Immortals gathered on the Heaven-Breaking Peak and began to prepare for formation.

The disciples from each peak were also brought to the Hundred Mortal Hall on the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

Youqin Xuanya led a few Heaven-Breaking Peak disciples to gather in front of the Hundred Mortal Hall in an orderly manner, guiding the disciples could not participate in the battle.

At that moment, there was no need to be anxious and flee immediately.

The mountain-protecting array formation was the first barrier.

The experts in the sect were the second.

If the battle situation was not favorable and they were to really end up at the brink of death, those disciples and some Essence Immortals would be sent underground and moved away by the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array…

Most of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were stunned. They did not know why they were suddenly attacked by a powerful enemy.

However, they would not give up their lives!

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect also put away their usual kindness and smiles.

They were either gritting their teeth and glare at the explicable enemies that were rushing over from afar and disturbing their quiet cultivation; or glowering at the enemies with their eyes filled with fury and their hearts full of exasperation.

Although some looked nervous and worried, most of the cultivators from the Immortal Du Sect did not fumble the ball…

On the Little Qiong Peak.

The various layers of array formations that Li Changshou had set up had been activated. It had become a dangerous place.

On the other hand, Ling'e was carrying the Paper Effigy No. 3 on her shoulder. She carried her master who had passed out and then used the Earth Escape technique to slowly touch the earth meridians…

She seemed to be carrying the future of Little Qiong Peak on her delicate shoulders !

At this moment, she had also snapped out of her usual playful personality. Her eyes flashed continuously. Her level of alertness far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In a corner of the bookshelf in the empty Pill Chamber, a bamboo box was opened and another paper effigy appeared. On his back were the words 'Heaven Splits'

The paper effigy jumped onto the ground and swayed, transforming into Qi Yuan's appearance. He held three array-controlling jade tokens in his hand.

Li Changshou remained focused on the battle inside the sect.

Then, he multi-tasked and fished out the 'Earth' Paper Effigy No.3 and No.5, who were originally controlling the Poison Array thousands of kilometers away, from the tree trunk and pond.

They had yet to complete their tasks.

The two paper effigies' actions were almost synchronized. The original paper dolls jumped out from each of their sleeves.

After that, the two paper effigies used Earth Escape to get to the place where the Poison Array had exploded.

There were four paper dolls on both sides, and they transformed into men and women of different ages. They followed closely behind the paper effigy and flew forward…

Li Changshou could not ignore the corpses of his companions.

Apart from the corpses, the paper dolls began to deal with the poisonous fog scattered everywhere. They did not want anything to happen and cause new karma.

They were responsible for protecting the primordial environment.

In the two directions, there were a total of eight original paper dolls working hard. The two paper effigies, who only had the power of Li Changshou's mystical abilities, hid underground and did not dare to show their faces…

He had no choice. He had to keep a close eye on the mosquito deterrence!

The two groups of four paper dolls had a clear division of labor. They worked well together, and their movements were efficient and stable.

They used the treasure bag meant for storing poisons, to collect the poison that was spreading everywhere.

They destroyed the Poison Arrays that had not been activated before.

They collected all the corpses and took away the storage Dharma treasures on the other party's body…

Halfway through, thunder rumbled outside the Immortal Du Sect.

Outside the mountain-protecting array, the five Golden Immortals had already started fighting. The aftershocks of the battle caused a small part of the world to change color.

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect was fighting against two people from the southwest. Elder Qi Ling was blocking another hostile Golden Immortal from the northwest, preventing the three Golden Immortal experts from approaching the Immortal Du Sect's mountain-protecting array formation.

All sorts of lights from the treasure interweaved, and both sides attacked!

However, outside the mountain-protecting array, the ferocious Heaven Immortals were already attacking the array wall…

Li Changshou did not bother about it and continued to get busy.

Now was not the time for the 'Heaven' paper effigies to appear. There was still a long process for the other party to attack the array.

The paper Daoists on both sides increased their speed and finally gathered the corpses they had left behind before the mountain-protecting array was destroyed. They also cleaned up the poisonous gas that permeated the area.

Then, the two Sky Treasure Umbrellas were thrown into the air and they opened up two isolation arrays.

The four paper dolls each threw out a Soul-Bewitching Pearl. They searched for remnant souls with high-intensity. Then, they took out wooden fish, copper bell, clapper, and trumpets.

The wooden fisher recited the sutra.

The person who struck the clapper chanted the curse of disaster relief and blessing.

The person who rang the Bronze Bell chanted the Rebirth Curse.

The two paper dolls holding the trumpets raised their hands and scattered True Samadhi Flames, lighting up the demons, humans, and corpses of the spirits. Then, they took a deep breath, raised their heads, and began playing sorrowful tunes…

From now on, apart from forcefully exceeding the limits after the battle, I will also give you a funeral service!

The five Golden Immortals were fighting near the Immortal Du Sect. They shot out rays of light, causing the earth to tremble.

Li Changshou secretly observed for a while. After waiting for a while, the corpses on both sides had already been burned. They had also finished reading their scriptures, leaving two piles of black ashes on the ground.

This time, the four paper dolls attacked at the same time and blew away the ashes…

During special times, he could only sacrifice some sense of rituals.

Anyway, there were still many opportunities to do so during the battle…

The eight paper dolls cleared their tracks and used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground, returning to the sleeves of the two paper effigies.

The two paper effigies had officially completed their missions. They headed towards their previous hiding place, waiting for Li Changshou to retrieve or destroy them.

If the Immortal Du Sect could stay strong, they would naturally have a chance of being retrieved. It was not easy for paper effigies to be refined.

If the Immortal Du Sect really could not protect them this time, there was nothing they could do. They could only be destroyed, leaving no traces behind…

Chapter 89: Hurry and Go Invite…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heaven-Breaking Peak, in front of the Hundred Mortal Halls.

Youqin Xuanya, who was wearing an icy-blue dress, was running around with a huge sword on her back.

No one asked Youqin Xuanya to perform those trivial matters. However, Youqin Xuanya felt that she should shoulder that responsibility because she was given the honor of being the Head Disciple.

However, in terms of cultivation level, the Head Disciple should be… a certain unknown man whose last name was Li…

He was a Perfected Immortal who had used the Transformation technique on his main body. He was hiding in a place that he thought was very safe. Although he had avoided the battle outside, he had put in a lot of effort to plan, set up, and stabilize the situation in the immortal sect…

"Xuanya!"

An elder in the Hundred Mortal Hall called Youqin Xuanya over.

A few Perfected Immortal realm elders, who were on duty to deal with external affairs, handed the jade talisman to Youqin Xuanya. They also had to rush to the outer mountains to fight!

"Rest assured, Elders!"

Youqin Xuanya held the jade talisman in her hand, her eyes filled with determination.

The elders nodded and smiled, although… deep down, Youqin Xuanya's words made them feel a little uneasy.

The Perfected Immortal elders immediately rode a cloud towards the southwest.

There were still more than a hundred Essence Immortals left in the place. They were in formation to protect the disciples of the various peaks, in case they were injured by the aftermath of the battle.

The disciples, who were being protected and ready to retreat at any time, could not help much at the moment. They could only look up at the sky outside the array…

Their spiritual senses could not extend too far, but they could not help but feel shocked.

Usually, those who studied more often would continuously comment and describe the situation beautifully.

For example, they would say, "Look at those techniques. They're really… impressive, formidable, incredible and fierce like a thunderstorm!"

"All of a sudden, the earth shook together with the mountains. All of a sudden, the rays light from the treasure scattered in all directions!"

"The power of a Golden Immortal shocks our souls!"

A few people at the side would nod in agreement and immediately say, "Not bad, not bad." They wanted to be as cultured as the learned people of the Primordial World.

There were also those who were focused on cultivating Dao. Apart from those who read other books that contained irrelevant information, most of them were focused on watching the battle and cheering…

"Impressive!"

"Yes, that's impressive."

"When can we be so powerful!?!"

There were loyal and human disciples as well. They had already decided to live and die with the immortal sect.

The news about the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array quickly spread among the crowd. Many disciples heaved a sigh of relief.

Everyone had their own thoughts and it was all reasonable.

However, the situation around the mountain-protecting array was getting tenser and tenser.

On both sides of the south-west and north-west, hundreds of black shadows were attacking the light wall of the mountain-protecting array.

In contrast, the Perfected Immortals and Heaven Immortals in the sect were preparing to charge!

After the Mountain-Protection Array was fully activated, it was like an impenetrable turtle shell. Outsiders could not attack it for a while, and the people inside could not use mystical abilities or throw out any Dharma treasures.

Looking at the attacks launched by the black shadows outside, they felt that the mountain-protecting array formation would not be able to hold on for much longer.

The black shadows were all puppets controlled by the Blood Mosquitoes. Although their minds were not sharp during their journey, most of them did not think and only followed the orders that were given beforehand.

However, when they fought, they had much better chemistry with each other than the Immortal Du Sect immortals…

Fortunately, Li Changshou's Poison Array had consumed about 20% of the mosquito puppets' total combat power.

With the mountain-protecting array, he could use the power of the earth meridians and Spirit Stones to consume thee immortal power of the puppets, as well as their demonic power, and spiritual energy.

In the following battle, although the Immortal Du Sect was still at a disadvantage, the disadvantage was not too great.

Youqin Xuanya, who had been busy in front of the Hundred Mortal Hall for a while, stood at the roof of the hall to rest. Her gaze swept across the surroundings below.

Why isn't Senior Brother Changshou here?'

Youqin Xuanya was shocked. She searched carefully again.

She quickly confirmed that Li Changshou and Ling'e were not outside the Hundred Mortal Hall.

Youqin Xuanya immediately looked in the direction of the Little Qiong Peak and frowned slightly. She wanted to rush to the Little Qiong Peak and take Li Changshou and Ling'e to where she was.

However, just as Youqin Xuanya was about to activate her Dharma powers to fly into the sky, a voice suddenly entered her ears…

"Junior Sister Youqin, it's not convenient for Ling'e and I to appear now.

"If the mountain-protecting array is broken later, we will meet at the underground array."

Youqin Xuanya heaved a sigh of relief after hearing those words.

Although she did not know why Li Changshou and Ling'e were hiding in the crowd, she did not need to be too anxious since Senior Brother Changshou had said so…

At the same time, in a narrow and dark corner, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had prepared himself in advance for the poison!

After "resolving" the hidden danger, Li Changshou continued to observe. If Jiu Jiu and Jiu Wu wanted to "take a look" later, he would have to continue sending voice transmissions.

That was also the disadvantage of having too many friends.

A distance 1,500 kilometers southwest and northwest away, the two paper effigies controlling the Poison Arrays had completed their mission and returned to their small boxes.

Li Changshou could temporarily rest.

The current situation was much simpler than what Li Changshou had prepared for previously.

The other party only had three Golden Immortal experts and no Zenith Heaven Immortals.

Moreover, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were not simple-minded.

Looking at the Immortal Du Sect's formation, it's obvious that they were going to fight and retreat later.

The Grand Elders' lips kept moving. They are probably sending voice transmissions to various places to tell them how to deal with the enemy later.

That made Li Changshou feel relieved.

The paper doll retained Qi Yuan's figure and sat on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber.

Li Changshou borrowed the paper effigy to watch the Golden Immortals fight and observe the array formations.

In his head, he carefully tried to deduce the location where the paper effigy would take action next. He waited for the opportunity to begin the official battle when the mountain-protecting array formation was destroyed…

Little Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu are protected by Exalted Wang Qing. I don't need to worry too much.

Li Changshou scanned the southwest direction with his immortal senses and found traces of his Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.

The Nine Jiu Immortals stood in a line, each holding a Dharma treasure and circulating their mystical abilities while standing behind their master, Exalted Wang Qing.

Among the nine of them, the elegant Eldest Senior Sister Jiu Yiyi was the most eye-catching.

This fairy's face was as cold as ice. There were three or four treasures floating around her. Her cultivation level was actually at the early-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm.

The two Grand Elders were standing beside Exalted Wang Qing. They were standing at the front of the South-West Array formation with twelve Heaven Immortal Elders.

The sect was under attack. Those with higher cultivation levels would rush to the peak first. That was the rule of the Immortal Du Sect.

The man seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at his little disciple and asked, "Little Jiu?"

Hugging the big gourd, Jiu Jiu looked uneasy and from time to time, she would look at the Little Qiong Peak and quickly agreed.

"Master, I'm here!"

"Yes." The corners of Exalted Wang Qing's lips twitched.

Little Jiu's cultivation level is not bad.

"If there's a chaotic battle later, remember to help each other and take care of Little Wu. He has not recovered from his old injuries."

Jiu Wu looked ashamed. The other eight fellow immortals bowed in agreement.

However, Jiu Wu recalled how he had been threatened by Elder Wan Linyun when he visited him.

Cough. He had been repeatedly instructed by Elder Wan Linyun.

"If the mountain-protecting array formation is broken by a powerful enemy, you will immediately retreat to the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Do not fight with anyone and open this brocade pouch!"

The brocade pouch was in Jiu Wu's sleeve. He did not dare to take it away.

Back then, when Elder Wan Linyun said those words, he and Jiu Shi were so frightened that they could not regain their senses for a few days.

Jiu Wu thought for a moment and took two steps forward. Standing behind Exalted Wang Qing, he reported the matter that Elder Wan Linyun had previously told him about.

Exalted Wang Qing did not ask further and he instructed Jiu Wu to do as Elder Wan Linyun said.

Jiu Wu retreated to his position and looked outside the array formation. He stared at the figures attacking the mountain-protecting array formation and gripped his sword tightly.

He had processed a few bottles, but he immediately activated the Myriad poisonous pill.

Jiu Wu thought Disciple-Nephew Changshou should have gone to the Heaven-Breaking Peak by now.

His immortal senses swept past the Hundred Mortal Hall of the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Jiu Wu frowned.

After searching carefully, the short Daoist was stunned.

Li Changshou and Ling'e were not in the Hundred Mortal Hall. They were not even on the Heaven-Breaking Peak!

Jiu Wu suddenly thought of something and felt anxious…

After much thought, he couldn't help but worry about Li Changshou and Ling'e's safety.

Once again, Jiu Wu said to his master, "Master, I want to go to the Little Qiong Peak first and bring Disciple-Nephew Changshou and Ling'e to the Hundred Mortal Hall."

"Disciple-Nephew Changshou has always been hot-blooded. I'm worried that he will use the array formation he set up to injure the enemy and help us fight!"

Exalted Wang Qing nodded and said, "Alright."

Jiu Jiu, who was standing at the side, wanted to say something but hesitated. She pursed her lips and continued to stay there, fighting alongside her senior brothers and sisters.

It's just taking Li Changshou and Ling'e to the Hundred Mortal Hall. Fifth Senior Brother can go alone.

Jiu Wu took a look at the rather sturdy mountain-protecting array formation and left in a hurry, rushing towards the Little Qiong Peak.

Indeed…

In the darkness, Li Changshou, who had captured that scene, sighed in his heart. He was about to speak to Jiu Wu.

At this moment!

Golden rays of light flashed in the sky, and a long sword with a little bit of merit slashed through the cloud path, dragging out a ten-thousand-feet-long sword beam. It was proceeding with an unstoppable momentum!

A Golden Immortal suddenly attacked the mountain-protecting array formation!

The light wall of the mountain-protecting array trembled violently. The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect shouted and once again held back the two Golden Immortals…

While the mountain-protecting array was not stable, countless streams of light erupted at the same time outside the array formations at the southwest and north-west!

The tacit understanding between the Mosquito Puppets was fully displayed!

The flash from the array's light wall suddenly stopped. In the next moment, it exploded. Primordial Energy surged in all directions like a tsunami!

A Grand Elder of the Immortal Du Sect raised the shimmering pagoda high and shouted, "Attack!"

In an instant, countless streams of light burst out from the south-west, north-west, and north-west sides. Mystical abilities and Dharma treasures were unleashed simultaneously!

In the north-west direction, a poisonous hand that blotted out the sky was pressed downwards. Elder Wan Linyun's sleeves fluttered as his beard and hair parted. He looked majestic.

However, the seven to eight Heaven Immortal realm demons were prepared for it. They sacrificed their Dharma treasures and worked together to fend off the Poisonous Immortal!

The other immortals from both sides only dared to use Dharma treasures and mystical abilities to attack from afar. They did not dare to step into the green poisonous fog that was rapidly spreading.

In the south-west direction, dozens of Heaven Immortals were engaged in close combat. The sky was filled with streams of light, and there were already people falling from the clouds…

When Jiu Wu saw that, he immediately turned around to help.

However, just as he turned around, he heard a voice transmission beside his ear.

"Open the brocade pouch. Do not interfere with anything else. You can't turn the situation around by yourself!"

Elder Wan!

Jiu Wu was stunned. He took out the brocade pouch from his sleeve and took a look. Then, he suddenly realized something.

Uh…

Why have I never thought of this before?

Looking at the intense battle, the short Daoist gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. Then, he turned around and rushed towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak!

Li Changshou, who had been hiding in the dark, was obviously the one who had transmitted his voice to Jiu Wu earlier. He had only imitated Elder Wan's voice and tone.

Elder Wan was currently engaged in a fierce battle in the north-west direction of the sect. How could he care about Jiu Wu?

After this…

I'll see how you cry, Uncle-Master.

Li Changshou shifted his mind and started multitasking again.

In the forest hundreds of kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect, four wooden boxes were opened by the paper doll.

The paper effigies, that were covered in cloth bags and were of an astonishing thickness, jumped out of the box. Their bodies swayed and expanded rapidly, turning into two men, two women, and four Dao cultivators.

Close the door and release the dogs!

Uh, I can scold myself, but I should hit a dog!

Two figures from the north and south executed the Earth Escape technique and headed towards the two areas outside the Immortal Du Sect where the intense battles were taking place…

Report chapter

Chapter 90: Crying Is Also A Technique

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment the mountain-protecting array formation was broken through, he used the Immortal-tier Wind Speech Incantation to imitate Elder Wan's voice.

Before he transmitted his voice to his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Li Changshou had some doubts in his heart.

Sect Leader, he…

Can he do it…

As the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, he must have some connection with the founder of the Immortal Du Sect, the Perfected Du'e.

Logically speaking, Sect Leader should be considered a small fry of Ren School.

The battle outside was originally meant to protect the mountain-protecting array. Yet, the array formation was struck by the opponent's sword!

However, considering that the Sect Leader is fighting against two enemies on his own, and that the three Golden Immortals with unknown origins have the vicious Daoist Wen from the Primordial World behind them…

Sigh, it's not easy being a Sect Leader.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, made preparations to run away at any time. He made up his mind that even if he was lucky enough to become a Zenith Heaven Immortal in the future, he would never set up a sect and cause karma.

Once the mountain-protecting array formation was broken, there was no longer any barrier in the door.

The Heaven-Breaking Peak seemed to be the center and the safest place, but in reality, it was the most dangerous place.

If the Golden Immortal in the sky were to strike again, he would definitely slash at the main peak!

Therefore, Li Changshou was willing to sacrifice some of his usual concealment methods to prevent his master and junior from appearing on the Heaven-Breaking Peak. He also had to arrange for Ling'e to carry the paper effigies and bring her master to the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array to wait.

He hid in order to avoid being plotted against. In the end, he only wanted to be safe.

He could not turn the tables.

With the protection of the three paper effigies, there was no need to worry about Ling'e's safety.

Li Changshoue had long given Paper Effigy No. 1 and Paper Effigy No. 2 to his master and junior.

After sending the voice transmission to his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Li Changshou scanned the Heaven-Splitting Peak with his immortal senses and saw young disciples of the same generation…

Looking at the confused and helpless faces, he sighed softly.

I can't ask too much of others.

I just have to do my best and contribute what I can.

Then, he continued to control the paper effigy and made it travel across the land to rush to the Immortal Du Sect.

"It's broken?"

"The array is broken!"

In front of the Hundred Mortal Hall, the disciples looked at the mountain-protecting array that had exploded and felt the Golden Immortal pressure that had suddenly increased several times. Most of them panicked at that moment.

Youqin Xuanya bit her lips and stood on the eaves of the main hall. She raised her head and looked at the Golden Immortals engaged in the battle in the sky.

The aftershocks of the battle turned into waves that swept over!

On both sides of the south-west and north-west, two immortal wars were getting intense!

Streams of light flashed across the sky, and figures were slowly approaching the Heaven-Breaking Peak…

Based on that situation, the Immortal Du Sect was at a disadvantage.

What should I do?

Youqin Xuanya looked at the jade talisman in her hand. It was the key to opening the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array. It was also the route for the disciples to escape.

If Senior Brother Changshou was here, what would he do?

Yes, he would definitely fight hard against the enemy after sending his juniors out!

She could not help but think that way. She gradually made up her mind.

I must bring the disciples of the same generation out safely without fail. Then, I'll come back and do my best for the sect!

At that moment, Jiu Wu rushed over with his long sword. He flew over the disciples' heads and landed in the hall.

Youqin Xuanya turned around and landed on the eaves. She quickly followed him into the hall.

She initially thought that the Perfected Immortal executive of the sect had rushed over in a hurry to prepare to clear up the path for going down and wanted to help Jiu Wu.

However, what Youqin Xuanya and the disciples outside the hall did not expect was…

The short Daoist let out a wail and kowtowed in front of the portrait in the Hundred Mortal Hall…

"Sect Master is supreme!"

"Sect Master is supreme! Please show your might and save the Immortal Du Sect!"

"Immortal Du Sect follows the teachings of the master. It is peaceful and unfettered. We cultivate peacefully and protect the human race. However, we are suffering a disaster for no reason. We have been used by someone who is trying to sow discord among the three sects!"

"Sect Master is supreme!

"Save us!"

Dong-dong-dong-dong. After a few kowtows, Jiu Wu laid on the ground and whimpered.

Youqin Xuanya felt her nose sting when she saw that…

Could it be that the Immortal Du Sect really cannot survive this calamity today?

However, they have only started the battle. Although the mountain-protecting array formation is broken, there are not many injured immortals or casualties on our side. The Heaven-Breaking Peak still being guarded by a huge array, we have not been attacked…

This executive is crying as if we are about to be wiped out?

Youqin Xuanya was at a loss as well.

Jiu Wu lowered his head and cried for a while. He did not feel anything in his heart and did not feel like he was being watched…

The short Daoist lifted his head and looked at the portrait. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath and repeated the "scripted lines" that he had just said.

Many disciples rushed to the entrance of the hall and heard Jiu Wu crying. Most of them looked sad.

At the same time, on the other side…

Li Changshou had been secretly controlling the four paper effigies. He had quickly completed the preparations to take down the enemy troops.

The four original paper dolls required nearly ten times the amount of paper required by the 'Heaven' paper effigies.

He carried the immortal power that he had previously injected, as well as his colorless and odorless poisonous pill powder that was of the highest level.

He quietly hid underground, slowly moving forward as the battle progressed…

During such an intense battle, the four paper dolls would be instantly killed if they appeared.

He had to be patient and wait patiently for the right time!

Only by maximizing the effects of the four paper dolls would they be able to live up to the expectations of the old trees!

Launching sneak attacks was about being bold, careful, and ruthless.

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect on both sides were fighting and retreating as Li Changshou had predicted.

That gave Li Changshou the opportunity he was waiting for.

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were very united in the big "armed melee battle".

If someone was injured, they would definitely be dragged to the back. The fellow disciples who had spare energy would also quickly assist them.

However, it was also because of that mutual support that many immortals could not fully unleash their powers. They could only retreat continuously.

Six peaks have already been lost in the outer mountains. Although not many immortals from the Immortal Du Sect died due to the mutual support, half of them were injured…

The mosquito puppets were on the other extreme end.

They did not care about each other's lives and only focused on attacking.

Just like a group of ferocious beasts that were mentally connected, they worked well together, hoping to unleash their full power in a short period of time.

Li Changshou sighed and thought…

Daoist Wen is really something.

At this moment, he did not have the right opportunity. Li Changshou could not help but be distracted. He used his immortal senses to scan the person who was most important in the battle— Jiu Wu.

There was only one way to resolve the crisis of the Immortal Du Sect from the root. There was only one way to prevent the Western Sect or other factions from plotting against the Immortal Du Sect.

To get the big shot to appear!

If Jiu Wu cried at the moment that the Immortal Du Sect was on the brink of death, and got a few experts of Ren School to attack, not only would the Immortal Du Sect be able to overcome the crisis, they would also be free from worries in the future!

However…

Li Changshou sensed for a while and frowned.

His Uncle-Master Jiu Wu kept whimpering and wailing. It could really make those who heard and saw him feel melancholic, but the people around the portrait… did not waver.

Was he not crying hard enough?

Not enough people?

Or did the lines not work?

Li Changshou quickly pondered in his head. He did not forget to pay attention to the battle between the two sides. He controlled the paper effigy to follow them secretly.

Jiu Wu cried again. There were no Dao runes around the portrait.

Very quickly, Li Changshou, who was hiding in the darkness, made a decision. He cast the Immortal-tier Wind Speech Incantation and secretly transmitted his voice to Youqin Xuanya, who was standing at the door.

"Junior Sister Youqin, let's talk outside the hall."

Youqin Xuanya was stunned at first. Then, she turned around and left the hall without any hesitation.

Li Changshou transmitted his voice, "I heard Uncle-Master Jiu Wu crying inside. I suddenly thought that this might be a way to save us. However, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's crying method is wrong."

"I'm just a small fry so no one is going to take me seriously.. As the Head Disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, are you willing to give it a try? If you are, just nod."

Youqin Xuanya immediately nodded. She scanned her surroundings but could not find Li Changshou.

All of a sudden, the disciples heard a loud sound above them. All the disciples looked up immediately and saw that the clouds were flashing with light and lightning. Waves of Primordial Energy surged downwards.

The two hundred-odd Essence Immortals outside the main hall all unleashed their immortal powers. They used simple array formations to create a barrier formed from immortal power, preventing the disciples from being hit by the aftershocks of the battle.

They heard another roar. A divine beast that was shrouded in purple flames suddenly appeared in the clouds!

It raised its head and roared. The flames around it swept in all directions, forcing the hostile Golden Immortals in front of it to retreat!

It was awe-inspiring and unparalleled!

However, there was a wisp of black Qi lingering around the divine beast, making it look a little weak and feeble.

The Immortal Du Sect's Elder Qi Ling had already transformed into his main body!

Youqin Xuanya heard Li Changshou's warning and frowned.

Li Changshou asked, "Do you remember my instructions? If you can remember clearly, nod hard."

Youqin Xuanya nodded hard.

Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Remember not to utter a single word. Remember to bear these words in mind with your essence soul."

"Don't say that I told you about this later. Just say that you felt something!"

Youqin Xuanya nodded gently. She was already very impressed by Li Changshou's excellent morals and character.

Li Changshou continued, "Next, find an emotion to make your emotions come from the bottom of your heart and think about things that will make you sad and angry."

A devastating matter that evokes emotions from the bottom of the heart…?

Youqin Xuanya was a little confused. Under Li Changshou's guidance, she quickly tried to find that feeling.

She seemed to have nothing to be sad about. Her family was doing well and her cultivation was smooth. Her master treated her very well too.

Youqin Xuanya hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, I can't think of anything!"

Her voice was rather loud, and the surrounding disciples looked over.

Youqin Xuanya immediately turned around and faced the hall.

Li Changshou's voice lingered in her ears. He still sounded like he was not in a hurry. "Don't be anxious. At times like this, the more anxious you are, the more prone you are to mess up."

"Um… Think of something immediately. Something that you love most, it can be a pet or something like that."

Youqin Xuanya muttered, "Can I think about the spiritual beast you gave me?"

"Yes, very good. Take note of your emotions. Imagine that it is swaying its tail gently in front of you. Then…"

"It was suddenly hit by a mountain rock and unfortunately passed away. Its head was bleeding. It was extremely miserable. You buried it."

Youqin Xuanya bit her lips lightly. The scene of her burying the little spiritual beast surfaced in her heart. She felt guilty and her expression was extremely gloomy.

However, Li Changshou soon realized that her emotions were pure sadness and lacked anger.

Hence, Li Changshou added,

"Then, you didn't pay attention for a while and suddenly realized later that the spiritual beast's corpse had been stolen. You've been searching for its traces all the way while slowly advancing…"

Youqin Xuanya subconsciously took a step forward and entered the hall once again. Li Changshou's voice was like a demonic voice that affected her mind.

He said, "Someone dug it out and roasted it."

Youqin Xuanya's eyes were filled with grief and indignation.

In the darkness, Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission.

"That's right! Keep this up! Continue feeling those emotions! Go to Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's side!"

"After lighting up three incense sticks, kowtow thrice and say those words!"

Youqin Xuanya took a deep breath and immediately took a step forward. Li Changshou instantly dispelled the Wind Speech Incantation.

He did not dare to enter the hall with his immortal senses and only observed from afar.

Youqin Xuanya, the Head Disciple of the younger generation of the Immortal Du Sect, walked around the sobbing Jiu Wu, picked up three purple incense sticks, lit them up, and placed them in the incense burner.

Then, she took two steps back and knelt on the meditation cushion beside Jiu Wu. She lowered her head and kowtowed thrice.

Jiu Wu turned his head to take a look. He was confused.

Her long hair was a little messy, and her icy-blue dress blossomed like a lotus flower. She had a miserable expression…

"I'm a disciple of the Dao Sect, Xuanya. I hereby greet you, the Grand Pure One of the three sects!"

"The Immortal Du Sect had passed down the Inaction Sutras, which were used as the foundation of the sect. The Grand Pure One had taken the position as the founder of the orthodox Dao Sect."

"Today, the demons from outside plotted against us and sowed discord between the disciples. They have evil intentions, and they have no previous feud with the Immortal Du Sect! The Immortal Du Sect did not provoke these demons! Please take a look, Saint!"

Then, Youqin Xuanya knelt down once again and started to read the first volume of the Inaction Sutra.

Jiu Wu was stunned. Why does it feel like… what I just said was more advanced than what I had just now…

This time…

As Youqin Xuanya recited the second line of the Inaction Sutra, the portrait in front of her shook slightly.

Indescribable, undetectable, and obscure Dao runes floated out from the portrait and disappeared from the portrait!

Chapter 91: Paper Army Strikes!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Today, the wind in Tushita Palace suddenly became noisy…

Why is there someone crying beside my ear?

Under a tree in the corner of the Tushita Palace's backyard, a young man in a blue robe frowned slightly.

As he was meditating, he looked at the blurry image that appeared in his head.

A short Daoist, who was five to six feet tall, leaned over and sobbed. Beside him, there was a pretty good-looking female disciple, who also had a pitiful look on her face.

The young man smiled bitterly and sighed.

Teacher, you're doing this again.

Since you are unwilling to go out, I want to cultivate in peace.

They are probably worshiping your portrait, Teacher. I don't have any portraits or sculptures that have been passed down to the primordial times.

Teacher, your realm is really too mysterious and amazing. You caused your karma to slip onto 'slipped' karma onto your disciple…

"However, to be able to alarm a teacher who doesn't like to ask about anything, you guys are really impressive…"

The young Daoist chuckled and slowly stood up.

He pinched his fingers to calculate and deduce. As he followed the guidance that his teacher had given him, he understood something.

He said softly, "So there are external enemies looking for trouble with the Immortal Du Sect. The Immortal Du Sect is in trouble for no reason…"

I, Ren School, did not take the initiative to cause trouble, but someone wanted to use my sect to sow discord among the three sects?

Tsk, I have to manage this.

"The last time I was in Elder Moon Hall, I broke the marriage clay figurine of a kid from the Immortal Du Sect. This time, I went to help the Immortal Du Sect. I can then be considered to have severed this karma."

The young man did not finish his sentence. He took a casual step forward and appeared outside the Tushita Palace.

After taking a few more steps, he arrived at the Western Heavenly Gate and floated out. The Heavenly troops and Heavenly Generals guarding the gate did not notice him at all…

After a short while, the young man had already left the Nine-layered Celestial Palace. He was looking down at the magnificent primordial world from the sky.

"The Immortal Du Sect is the Dao sect that Daoist Du'e had passed down. I can bring Daoist Du'e along and ask him to take action. As such, the karma is much smaller. There is another troublesome matter…"

"Fellow Daoist Du'e is only my teacher's in-name disciple. I've heard my teacher talk about Dao several times. Before I enter the sect, I should call him Senior."

"However, I am the only personal disciple of Teacher. He is just a disciple in name, so he has to call me Senior… How should I address him?"

The young Daoist priest was caught in a dilemma. His figure drifted into the distance, towards the intersection between the Aparagodānīya Continent, the North Continent, and the Kunlun Immortal Mountain of the Middle Continent.

After flying for a while, the Kunlun Mountain was already in sight. Great Taoist Master Xuandu was very reliable. Very quickly, he realized another problem.

"Senior Brother Du'e, which cave did you cultivate in at the Kunlun Mountain?"

The Great Grandmaster Xuandu calculated with his fingers and soon nodded.

"Fortunately, the Immortal Du Sect has a large supply of Qi that can last us a long time. It will not be destroyed anytime soon. The disaster this time seems to have been decided. There's no need to rush over… Let's look for Senior Du'e first. Otherwise, if we don't handle this properly, Teacher will lock us up for numerous millennia…"

With a sigh, the young Dao Master disappeared from Kunlun Mountain. He circled around the Jade Void Palace and searched for the Ancestral Master who had taken charge of the Immortal Du Sect halfway through.

A moment ago, the Immortal Du Sect.

It was useful!

The Saint reacted, ahem, Saint's portrait reacted!

There was indeed something wrong with the lines!

Jiu Wu was excited while Youqin Xuanya heaved a sigh of relief…

Li Changshou was not happy. Instead, he reflected on himself.

Previously, I've been a little inconsiderate. I asked Elder Wan Linyun to give Uncle-Master Jiu Wu the brocade pouch and put up a pitiful act. However, I overlooked too many details, as well as the main objective of Ren School.

Just now, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had cried repeatedly. Regardless of whether the Saint could sense it, it would be difficult for him to bother taking a look at them…

After careful analysis, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's explanation seemed to mean that he wanted the Sect Leader of Ren School to help him before the sect was destroyed.

That meant that the Immortal Du Sect was accumulating karma for the sect master of Ren School.

Li Changshou snapped out of his daze and found a second candidate to cry and solve the situation. He made Youqin Xuanya pay attention to the details of her emotions and the title of Saint.

First, she explained that the Immortal Du Sect belonged to the Perfected Immortal Du'e's lineage. Then, she read the Inaction Sutra and asked the Saint to examine and verify that they were indeed taught by the Ren School.

As a result, it sounded like an external enemy was invading the Immortal Du Sect and increasing karma for the sect master of Ren School.

The portrait of the Saint immediately responded!

However, the Dao runes on the portrait of the Saint were quickly retracted. That indicated that the old Saint or some expert from the Ren School already knew about the matter.

It was still unknown when he would intervene.

Li Changshou quickly analyzed in his head.

The chances of an expert from Ren School appearing next should be as high as 70%. However, it's hard to say if they can arrive in time to provide support.

I can't place my hopes on external aid.

I have already done what I could do in the aspect of summoning someone powerful. There is no need for me to spend more effort.

To be safe, I have to persevere with my plans.

If the building really collapses, I should run… when I'm supposed to.

Li Changshou then sent a voice transmission to Youqin Xuanya. "This is done. Junior, please wait a while. Don't mention this voice transmission message to anyone else."

Youqin Xuanya nodded lightly. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Li Changshou's immortal senses had already left the place. He focused on controlling the paper effigy…

Previously, there had been some delay in the Hundred Mortal Hall, and the battles in the southwest and north were already in full swing.

The two sides fought all the way from the outer area of the mountain gate to the top of a few peaks.

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect retreated again and again. More than half of the Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals were injured. Dozens of Perfected Immortals had died. Fortunately, only two of the Heaven Immortals had died.

On the other hand, although the mosquito puppets were becoming more and more ferocious, they had lost quite a bit of their battle strength.

There were already three Heaven Immortal realm demons that were buried in Elder Wan Linyun's hands!

In terms of battle results, the runner-up who was catching up closely behind would be Exalted Wang Qing. He had killed a human Heaven Immortal and a Heaven-Immortal-level Great Demon, which caused him to be ranked second.

There were also a few Heaven Immortal elders who had their own gains…

However, the overall situation was still not optimistic.

At that moment, Elder Wan Linyun felt as if he had returned to the battle that took place ten thousand years ago. His heroic spirit surged, and he had been fighting alone all along!

However, that old man was secretly depressed…

Previously, under Li Changshou's guidance, he killed many great demons but it felt effortless to him. He had at most only used a few more poisonous pills…

However, during the head-on battle, his poisonous pills, poison mystical abilities and poison techniques seemed to have been greatly weakened…

It felt rather strenuous and difficult to achieve.

It did not feel as good as it did when he was working together with Li Changshou to plot against the enemy.

Indeed, Changshou not only has a unique understanding of poison. His future potential is also immeasurable.

While Elder Wan was thinking about it, his attacks became more vicious.

He had already made up his mind. If he could protect the Immortal Sect in this battle, he would teach Li Changshou the Poison Sutra that he was most proud of. That would be a reward for the secret warning that he had given Li Changshou.

Suddenly, Elder Wan Linyun felt a gentle breeze brushing past his ear, and he heard a familiar voice…

"Elder Wan, it's me, Changshou."

"Elder, please don't reminisce about the battle. Divert your attention and observe the situation in the south. It's best if both sides retreat to the Heaven-Breaking Peak together. Later on, we'll use their array formation to defend ourselves. That's the proper way to reduce the casualties in the sect."

Elder Wan Linyun nodded secretly. He observed the situation around him and realized that he had already gone in alone.

It was not because Elder Wan was too fierce, but because the immortals from the same sect… retreated too quickly.

Li Changshou transmitted his voice again.

"Elder, you don't have to worry about me. I will enter the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array with the disciples of the various peaks later. Elder, please take care of yourself."

Upon hearing that, Elder Wan Linyun squinted slightly. A cold smile appeared on his lips.

The few demons that were resisting Elder Wan Linyun panicked and hurriedly retreated.

However, Elder Wan Linyun retreated at the same time. He was slightly closer to the immortals on his side.

He was just happy purely because Li Changshou was safe and sound…

After settling the small detail, Li Changshou continued to observe the situation in the dark.

At that moment, there were only a few peaks left on Heaven-Breaking Peak.

Li Changshou's immortal senses captured a few injured Perfected Immortal realm elders who were in charge of the external affairs of the sect. They were rushing towards the Hundred Mortal Hall.

It seemed that they wanted the disciples to leave first…

Next, the Heaven-Breaking Peak would become the venue for the battle.

Although there was still a protective array, most of the disciples who had yet to become immortals had low cultivation levels. If they were not careful, the Hundred Mortal Hall might just experience a bloodbath caused by some mystical abilities or Dharma treasures.

One of the Grand Elders ordered the disciples with insufficient cultivation levels to avoid trouble temporarily. The injured Perfected Immortal elders would be in charge of protecting the disciples later.

Li Changshou pondered for a moment. He gave a few instructions to Ling'e, who had been hiding near the underground teleportation array for quite some time. He told her to sneak into the crowd of disciples later and leave with his main body and their master.

Ling'e immediately nodded her head to show that she had understood. She continued to hide in a crevice, quietly waiting for a large group of disciples from the Immortal Du Sect to appear.

As for Li Changshou's main body…

Two months ago, he had already found a hiding place and cleverly hid within it. He had never taken the initiative to move around.

A moment later, a hole appeared in the corner of Hundred Mortal Hall.

Under the constant urging of the elders, Youqin Xuanya and Jiu Wu, the young disciples rushed into the hole that was driven vertically into the ground and flew underground.

When the batches of disciples arrived at the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array, Ling'e found a chance and walked out from the corner with Li Changshou to join the disciples.

The process was quite perfect. His junior had made another contribution.

When Youqin Xuanya arrived and saw Li Changshou and Ling'e, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She held onto the jade talisman and activated the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array.

At the bottom of the underground cave, a thousand-foot-wide array disc with complex patterns appeared. There seemed to be sounds of dragon roars coming from beneath the array disc…

An elder from the Hundred Mortal Hall yelled, "Quick, enter the array fifty at a time!"

"Xuan Ya, you and Elder Ge will lead the way together! The teleportation array is located in a valley in the east!"

Youqin Xuanya immediately executed the order. She led the disciples who were closest to the array formation and rushed into the array disc. Her figure sank slightly and disappeared in a flash!

The main meridians of the earth were equivalent to the "tiny vessels" of God Pangu.

The Earth Meridian Teleportation Array could allow the Qi Refinement cultivators to follow the earth meridians and move in two different directions.

The disciples of the Immortal Du Sect did not panic. Some of them even took the initiative to stay at the back and let the disciples who were slightly weaker to move forward…

The entire retreat was orderly. Ling'e was also taken care of by many seniors from other peaks. The third batch was teleported away.

Li Changshou had allowed a wisp of his immortal senses to accompany his junior and hence he had nothing else to worry about.

Most of the younger generation had retreated. The Immortal Du Sect cultivators had also retreated to the vicinity of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

At that moment, the battle line was pulled apart. The main peak's array had yet to be activated.

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect looked dejected. The mosquito puppets had already focused their attention on the few Heaven Immortals from the Immortal Du Sect!

Li Changshou had been waiting for that moment!

"Paper effigies, attack!"

Near the Heaven-Splitting Peak, four paper effigies appeared quietly in the two valleys between the mountains. Half of their bodies emerged from the soil.

From their sleeves and clothes, white paper dolls quickly jumped out. Then, the four paper effigies quickly sank into the ground.

There were twenty paper dolls on each side of the river valley in the north and south. They quickly scattered around the four paper effigies…

That number was already the limit that Li Changshou can relay his instructions through to control the paper effigies. Besides, it could not last long…

The forty paper dolls turned into forty "immortal troops" in light blue armor.

They all had different appearances and were not strong. Their defense was Perfected. Each of them carried a simple Dharma artifact on their back, which was a longbow, and they also held onto special arrows.

Those longbows only had some basic restrictions. They were not considered treasures.

They quickly rushed towards the forest in front of them. When they arrived at the hidden locations that Li Changshou had previously found, they pulled the string on the longbow to the maximum.

On the arrow, complicated patterns lit up!

"Silent Heavenly Poisonous Arrow": Consumption-type self-refining Dharma artifact that can be cast in large-scale, provides high accuracy, and launches large amounts of poisonous powder in an instant!

When killing enemies, one does not need to use mystical abilities or Dharma treasures. Instead, one should maximize one's advantage.

A toned and muscular body cannot rival a brick.

Release!

In a dark and narrow corner, Li Changshou snapped his fingers, and the bowstrings of the forty longbows vibrated!

One by one, the dharma artifacts silently launched arrows at a rapid speed. From behind the enemy troops, they rushed towards the place where the mosquitoes puppets were gathering in…

Report chapter

Whoosh…

It was a very soft sound of air being swept across…

One by one, the Heavenly Poisonous Arrows moved through the air and stealthily darted towards the group of enemies at the back.

There were no fluctuations of immortal power, nor any sharpness.

However, it was inevitable for there to be some disruption in the air.

In order to prevent the immortal enemies from sensing them, the arrows did not dart at any of them. Instead, they locked onto the gaps between the figures at the periphery…

Li Changshou's timing was very accurate.

At the back of the two arenas, forty arrows successfully reached the designated height.

The half-foot-long cylinder in front of the poisonous arrow split open at the same time. Waves of colorless and odorless poisonous powder and poisonous fog spread in the sky…

Plop…

They were like colorful fireworks that bloomed in the clear sky.

At the periphery of the enemies, the twenty-odd Perfected Immortals did not have time to turn around. Suddenly, their vision turned black and they fell down towards the clouds…

Gusts of wind blew, and the poison that could kill Heaven Immortals quickly scattered. Black shadows kept falling downwards like dumplings.

The Blood Mosquito puppets were truly afraid of being poisoned.

This time, they reacted extremely quickly. One of the Heaven Immortal puppets noticed that something was amiss and immediately shouted.

"Drumming Dharma powers! Someone from the rear poisoned us in a scheming manner!"

At that moment, the immortal power, demonic power, and spiritual energy around the enemies surged, dispersing the poisonous fog and poisonous powder that floated towards them!

However, before that, more than fifty Perfected Immortals had been poisoned to death…

There were more than a hundred figures who were more or less infected with poison. At this moment, they were trying their best to resist the poison, and their battle strength was greatly reduced.

The Blood Mosquito puppets immediately began to search for the person who schemed against them.

At that moment, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were also at a loss. They did not know where the "aid" had come from.

However, they were suppressed on the cloud path around Heaven-Breaking Peak. The two groups of powerful enemies were still extremely ferocious, and it was very difficult for them to receive external aid…

Most importantly, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect…

There was no sign of any aid!

The effects of the poisonous arrows were not perfect. Li Changshou did not feel any excitement or regret. He simply secretly summarized the shortcomings of his Dharma artifacts.

This method of launching poison in all directions was never as good as using immortal power to silently send poisonous powder to the other party's essence soul…

Overall, he had wasted most of the poisonous properties of the poisonous pills.

In order to prevent the poisonous fog from accidentally injuring his fellow disciples, Li Changshou used two Heaven Immortal Poisons in the arrows, which were more difficult to refine and had time limits.

After a while, the remaining poison in the air would dissipate…

Although the concept behind that arrow was not bad, it could be restrained too easily. Its effect was not as good as using a Poison Array of the same amount.

Li Changshou concluded in his head that the battle situation had changed again.

The Blood Mosquito puppets quickly determined the direction that the poisonous arrows were being shot in. Their counter-attacks were swift and fierce!

On both sides of the Heaven-Splitting Peak, there were more than ten figures that had escaped from the battle at the rear of the enemy's formation and were charging towards the location where the paper dolls were hiding.

They raised their Dharma treasures, condensed their mystical abilities, and smashed them at the two mountains!

In the darkness, Li Changshou revealed an inexplicable smile…

The forty paper dolls did not retreat and hide!

When the thirty-odd Perfected Immortal puppets swooped down to the top of the two forests, three paper dolls charged out from the side of the forest to attract their attention.

However, after the six figures appeared, they could barely charge forward for more than a thousand feet. Soon, they were crushed by the streams of light coming from behind.

At this moment!

The remaining 34 paper dolls rushed out from their hiding places!

Their aura surged, and their movements were quick and agile. They charged straight at the puppets…

The two groups of puppets that had rushed down to fight back immediately attacked. However, while they were in a hurry, half of the paper immortal soldiers had rushed to their side!

Without any hesitation, the paper dolls exploded!

A total of ten figures exploded in the forest on both sides of the forest!

The scene was extremely tragic. The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were furious, but they could not do anything for the paper dolls that were giving aid…

However, after the explosion…

The thirty or so Blood Mosquito puppets that had rushed to the mountain forest remained completely unharmed. All of them were in a daze, not knowing what they had just experienced…

The power of the explosion was rather weak.

Even though the people, demons, and spirits were under the control of the Blood Mosquitoes and only had a small portion of their conscious left, they had experienced quite a bit of mental turmoil in that short period.

In the beginning, they were lucky to have escaped death when the colorless poisonous fog appeared behind them.

(They felt a little fortunate.)

After that, they received an order to counterattack in the direction of the poisonous arrows. When they discovered the figures who had fled in a hurry, they immediately attacked and killed them. They did not waste any time.

(They were relatively calm.)

The situation suddenly changed. The six figures merely diverted their attention and yet, the Dao Immortal soldiers rushed out from the forest below without any warning and dashed towards them!

(They were a little nervous.)

To their surprise, the immortal weapons that were charging at them were very 'weak'. If they were poked, they would die and if they were smacked, they would break.

(Why was that so?)

However, the other party did not have any plans. The person who had been hiding previously had not revealed any traces. The other party still managed to reach him, and the other party actually self-destructed!

(Scared to death.)

What was amusing was that their self-explosions did not have much power, but there were sounds and momentum. It would be better for them to be smashed by an ordinary Dharma treasure of an Essence Immortal…

(Why was that so?)

Suddenly!

The thirty-odd enemies' vision turned black. Their essence souls were in pain at first, and then they lost their sense of the outside world. Their immortal powers dissipated, and they fell down in unison in mid-air…

They were finally enlightened before their death…

(The explosion was poisonous.)

At the top of the mountain forest, more than thirty figures fell at the same time.

In the darkness, Li Changshou raised his eyebrows, feeling a little helpless.

Why are there only a few Heaven Immortals that rushed down?

He controlled the four paper effigies and made them continue to hide underground. Li Changshou did not need to look at them to deduce the reactions of the two parties.

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were naturally confused. They thought Those mosquito puppets should be going crazy…

In general, the first wave of sneak attacks had been quite effective. The pressure on their side had been greatly reduced, and the opponents had also suffered a setback.

At that moment, the four paper effigies at the bottom of the Heaven-Breaking Peak could not move recklessly. Li Changshou shifted his attention to the paper effigy with the words 'Heaven Split' written on it, and briefly checked the situation of the Little Qiong Peak's array formation.

Then, he paid attention to the battle in the sky.

After Elder Qi Ling transformed into his main body, he became more and more ferocious as he fought. He steadily suppressed a Golden Immortal realm expert.

The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect…

Although he was a little lacking, he still managed to stall the two Golden Immortals.

Looks like I have to fight for a while more.

Li Changshou's mind quickly returned to the four paper effigies and he prepared the Dharma artifacts that he needed to use next.

The first ambush had ended.

Next would be the second wave of operations…

I'll lure them into a trap and catch them off guard!

It's soon time to strike.

How can a mere Immortal Du Sect not be destroyed yet?

In a hidden Cave Abode near the spiritual mountain of the Western Sect in the Aparagodānīya Continent, Daoist Wen Jing was lying on the bed, clad in a light blue dress.

Two maids were kneeling beside her. One of them was fanning her, while the other was holding onto some immortal wine that looked like blood, waiting for their master to pick up the jade cup.

At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing was secretly observing the "massive" battle going on in the Immortal Du Sect, which happened because of the blood mosquitoes that she had released.

She was just watching the show.

Now, as long as she did not take the initiative to make a move and just stayed here, no one would know that she was the one behind it, unless the Saints of the Three Sects personally investigated her.

Moreover, the Second Saint of the Western Sect had already been blinded by her.

During the Primordial World, not many people knew about her. Even if the Blood Mosquitoes were exposed, they would only be regarded as a type of mystical ability.

Daoist Wen Jing knew very well that she was hiding in the shadows. If she exposed herself, she would lose most of her value.

At this moment, she had to watch the battle between the Immortal Du Sects.

If anything unexpected happened, such as the sudden arrival of experts from the Ren School to help the Immortal Sect, she would destroy the souls of the three Golden Immortals and use their bodies as a gift to the Jie School…

This scheme is much more interesting than fighting and killing.

Daoist Wen Jing revealed a charming and intoxicating smile. The two demon maids beside her simply lowered their heads as they did not dare to look at her.

Daoist Wen Jing began to watch the show. Five Golden Immortals were fighting.

Her attention had always been attracted by the battle between Golden Immortals and Heaven Immortals.

To her, Perfected Immortals were no different from Qi Refinement cultivators who had yet to become immortals. They were boring, monotonous, and mundane.

She felt that it was more interesting to watch a Golden Immortal fight, especially the rare, primeval species—the auspicious beast, Qilin. That made Daoist Wen Jing very hungry.

When Li Changshou secretly used the paper effigy to launch the first wave of attacks, he killed more than eighty Perfected Immortals and injured more than a hundred them, causing the situation between the two sides to be reversed to a certain extent.

The balance of victory and defeat had temporarily stabilized.

Hmm? What's going on below?

Daoist Wen Jing scanned the surroundings of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, and her lips curled into a disdainful smile.

The puppets that she had collected at the last minute were of no use. They were about to be beaten up again!

Forget it. The Immortal Du Sect would probably not be destroyed in this battle today…

If that continued, the power of the blood lotus in the bodies of the three phony Golden Immortals would be completely depleted.

Hmph, if their own disciples were to attack, the tiny Immortal Du Sect would be gone in an instant…

Right, where did the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect go?

Daoist Wen Jing was a little puzzled. She looked up and down for a while and soon sneered.

There are some remnants of spiritual energy in the underground earth meridians. It seems to be… an Earth Meridian Teleportation Array?

Did they escape to the east?

Do you think you can hide this from me, the Queen?

Since I can't destroy your sect, the effect of killing your disciples would be pretty good too…

The aftermath would definitely be very interesting.

If she took the initiative to control and contact those puppets now, she would expose herself to a certain extent.

However, Daoist Wen Jing felt a slight excitement and decided to take a small risk.

Near the Heaven-Breaking Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, where the thousands of Immortals were fighting, a trace of Dao runes descended and landed on a human Heaven Immortal Blood Mosquito puppet.

The Dao runes were then quickly extracted.

The old Daoist priest from the Heaven Immortal realm trembled and retreated from the battle. He summoned a demonic roc that was of the Perfected Immortal realm and laid on the back of the demonic roc.

In order to complete the orders that his 'master' had just given him, the old Daoist priest, the Heaven Immortal, ordered the demonic roc to head north first. Once they flew far enough, they would turn east…

Rocs were good at flying. The demonic rocs also had the bloodline of a Golden Immortal roc and had innate abilities.

At that moment, the demon roc was charging forward at full speed before disappearing without a trace…

A few Heaven Immortal Elders from the Immortal Du Sect noticed that. They guessed that the old Heaven Immortal Daoist and his demonic roc might be going to the east to cause trouble.

They secretly transmitted their voices, feeling extremely anxious.

However, at that moment, they were trapped near Heaven-Breaking Peak. Putting aside whether or not they could break out of the encirclement and rush to the east to rescue them, they could not catch up with the demonic roc's speed!

After one of the Grand Elders left the battle, he took out a few messenger jade talismans and hurriedly contacted the elders who were in charge of the external affairs, and were already 8,000 kilometers to the east, to get them to bring their disciples to hide.

That was all they could do…

The elders of the Immortal Du Sect had misjudged two things.

Firstly, they did not expect the other party to be so ruthless.

The battle had yet to end and they were already going to find trouble with those disciples who had yet to become immortals!

Secondly…

The earth meridians were deep in the ground. How did the other party discover that they had hidden the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array?

However, the minor details that the Immortal Du Sect's Elders had missed out… were long predicted by a disciple.

Daoist Wen had given Li Changshou a vicious impression. Li Changshou's vigilance had been raised from the beginning…

The moment the Daoist priest of the Heaven Immortal realm and the demonic roc moved, Li Changshou captured their movements.

Although he felt that trouble was about to entail, he did not feel nervous.

It was definitely not because Li Changshou did not care much about his junior and master. Instead, he had already come up with a plan to deal with them. He could manage even if there were ten Heaven Immortals…

Ahem, that's a bit too many.

Even if there were three to four Heaven Immortals, it would not be a big deal!

It's about time…

Begin the second wave of battle!

At that moment, Li Changshou had to focus a portion of his attention on the Paper Effigy No. 3 beside Ling'e and start preparing for the battle.

He could only get Paper Effigy No. 2 to hide underground while the other three paper effigies appeared in the river valley outside the Heaven-Breaking Peak…

This time, he did not release the paper effigies.

The three figures that the paper effigies had transformed into flew into the sky!

Two men and one woman appeared on both sides. They took the initiative to expose their cultivation levels, which were all in the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm!

That was the highest realm that Li Changshou could simulate at the moment—the paper effigy only carried immortal power, and there was a limit to the amount that he could store.

Then, the three figures activated their immortal powers and shouted loudly!

They first looked to the north.

The young Daoist priest with a sword on his back shouted, "When we passed by this place, we saw a group of demons attacking the mountain!"

"How arrogant! "Fellow Daoist of the Immortal Du Sect, the two of us will help you!"

He was full of righteousness!

Following that, the female immortal holding a jade flute beside him said in a clear voice, "The world is bright and clear. Slay the demons and protect the humans!"

"Fellow Daoist of the Immortal Du Sect, please don't worry about the two of us. We will not attack by force. We will first lure away some demons for you!"

Those words were very reasonable, making the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect calm down immediately. They were very grateful for those two strangers who had "accidentally passed by".

Although many immortals felt that… there was something strange about their appearance…

Compared to the two paper effigies in the north, the burly man in the south was much more uncouth and straightforward.

The paper effigy carried a huge ax and was five kilometers away from the battle arena.

He shouted, "Damn it! That group of demons and ghouls! If you have what it takes, fight me head-on! I'm going to kill you and your ancestors!"

Immediately, the Blood Mosquito puppets surrounding the Heaven-Breaking Peak reacted!

In the north, more than ten black shadows charged towards the couple.

The paper effigy with the sword on his back laughed out loud. The two of them quickly retreated and executed a few spell techniques formed using immortal power. They advanced forward in a similar manner.

The ones on the southern side… were powerful…

More than twenty demons turned around and charged towards the burly man. At the front, there were two demons of the Heaven Immortal realm!

The burly paper effigy's legs trembled. He lifted the huge ax and turned to fly away. However, he secretly executed Wind Escape and charged towards the Little Qiong Peak.

In order to attract the attention of those people, Li Changshou used the paper effigy to curse his heart out.

The burly man kept cursing and swearing. The more popular curses in the Primordial World were endless…

Examples would be 'I don't treat you as a son of a human' and 'I don't care if you are a demon or not.' Those were still considered quite amateur.

Li Changshou quickly decided to add more ingredients and started to shout a few more exciting words. Even though those demons were being controlled, they were still furious.

For example, the demons exploded into excitement when they heard what the humans in the Primordial World already knew…

"There are two Demon Emperors, but there is only one Demon Empress!"

"Your ancestors were beaten so badly by the witches that they did not even dare to land on the ground. They even shamelessly claimed that they had separated from the world of the witches! Have you got any shame? Have you?"

Streams of light shot out. The demons attacked one after another, wanting to tear the burly man to pieces.

However, the burly man's immortal power erupted from his body and he retreated at high speed. Li Changshou merged his Wind Escape technique and dodged left and right in the air. He continued cursing.

Unknowingly, the burly paper effigy rushed to the sky above Little Qiong Peak, and a stream of light flew over from behind him.

Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy. His back was filled with immortal power, and he was deliberately hit by the pearl in the stream of light…

The burly man's body was knocked down, and he fell towards Little Qiong Peak. He barely managed to stabilize himself in mid-air and turned to look at the group of demons that were flying towards him.

However, at that moment, the group of demons also sensed a hint of danger. There were a few human-shaped demons, and their eyes were filled with hesitation.

In the darkness, Li Changshou snorted coldly.

The burly, paper effigy turned around and stood on the edge of the array formation on the Little Qiong Peak. He made a thumbs-up gesture at the group of demons and then curled his finger in disdain.

"I've already fled for such a long time. So that's all you can do. It's not painful!"

"Come on, take me one on one!"

The demons were stunned for a moment before they pounced onto the burly man below.

The Blood Mosquitoes were secretly influencing him. Naturally, they were all going against him.

Report chapter

Chapter 93: The Opening of Little Qiong Crematorium

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It read: "Are you lost?"

In the outer maze of Little Qiong Peak's Pill Chamber.

A group of demons in human form stared at the wooden tablet in front of them. Their numb faces twitched.

The wretched human qi-trainers, who should have been sliced into pieces, had actually lured them into a maze!

He could still see their figures just now, but now, they were nowhere to be seen.

At the front, the old demon who was in the Heaven Immortal realm squinted his narrow eyes and casually smashed the wooden tablet in front of him.

"Come out!"

A female demon shouted. There was no reaction from the surroundings.

The demonic energy in the old demon who shattered the wooden tablet surged. Rays of light-yellow streams of light erupted around him.

A strong gust of wind blew over, instantly dispersing the array formation.

The surroundings suddenly became clear. Their immortal senses that had been blocked earlier could immediately detect everything in the surroundings…

Almost at the same time, the demons saw a burly human drinking water leisurely under a tree in the distance…

It seemed that… he had gotten thirsty after scolding them.

The demons were instantly enraged!

Even the Blood Mosquito's mental control was almost broken by the exasperation!

The burly man seemed to have reacted a little slower. When he heard the rumbling sounds and looked up, he shivered and looked anxious.

"You little demons! You actually found me!"

With that, he carried the huge ax and ran back.

The fire was almost pouring out of the demons' eyes. They threw their Dharma treasures and divine powers in front of them and fiercely took chase!

Demonic power erupted from their bodies, and they looked ferocious.

The two old demons at the front were in the Heaven Immortal realm!

The female demon on the left was plump, and a piercing green light erupted from her body. Her white arms turned into a pair of green wings.

She spread her wings and stood on one leg. Two hundred kilograms of green feathers flew forwards in front of her!

The old demon, who had just broken through the maze, had a cunning-looking, black-furred deer head. With a casual sweep, black sand surged out from his body, forming pitch-black swords that shot towards the back of the burly man!

However, just as the burly man took a few steps forward, he suddenly roared and pounced forward. His entire body strangely disappeared…

The green feathers, black swords, and the dozens of rays of light behind them disappeared at the same time. They were nowhere to be found!

Array formation!

Traces that resembled water ripples suddenly appeared all over the forest. The demons reacted quickly and immediately rushed to the sky.

However, as soon as they left the ground, their vision blurred. They rushed into the starry sky at the same time. In an instant, the world spun and they lost their direction. They did not know where to go!

Before they could do anything, they were filled with shining stars!

The Blood Mosquito puppets were puzzled as well.

We have clearly just encountered an ordinary and basic array formation, but why did it suddenly appear in this form after we took a few steps forward? It became a high-level array formation that even the old Heaven Immortal demon could not see through!

Why would this inconspicuous peak have such a mysterious array?

Behind the stars, there seemed to be pairs of eyes watching them…

It was as if a group of demon-eating ogres was hiding in the starlight. At the same time, hundreds of strong, murderous, and emotionless witches were brewing their murderous aura!

Two Perfected Immortal realm demons looked at each other after which they immediately looked left and right.

However, just as they took two steps forward and ended up at a spot that was only four feet away from their original position, two inconspicuous stars flashed gently, and two rays of light that reflected off the blade appeared strangely in front of their necks…

At the next moment, two heads were tossed up into the sky and the demons' blood splattered everywhere!

Another bolt of lightning struck, and the Demonic essence soul in the two corpses instantly shattered!

What made the demons even more terrified was that the two corpses had transformed into half-human and half-demon forms. However, the demonic powers in the corpses were instantly sucked out by the array formation!

Those demons did not dare to move anymore…

The two Heaven Immortal realm demons immediately attacked. They bombarded the surrounding starry sky and unleashed their demonic powers in a frenzy. However, their attacks did not bring about any response at all…

However, if they did not move, the killing array formations would not be able to be activated for the time being. That did not mean that they would be safe for the time being.

Wisps of colorless and odorless poisonous powder drifted under the starlight and found every great demon.

In an instant, a few demons with lower cultivation levels rolled their eyes and fainted.

One after another, the demons fainted immediately. The two Heaven Immortals only lasted for two more breaths before roaring in indignation and slowly collapsing…

Outside the array formation, Li Changshou was sitting on a branch of a big tree, while stowing away the porcelain bottles.

The thirty-six array foundations in Little Qiong Peak slowly converged their spiritual power.

The killing array, called the 'Thousand Battles of Stars', had returned to a state of standby.

Compared to the poisonous pills, Li Changshou was more concerned about the consumption of spiritual energy in the array foundation. After all, the killing array at the Little Qiong Peak had to be used back and forth on that day.

When the array formation closed, layers of ripples appeared in the air.

Strange-looking demon corpses appeared out of thin air. They fell from the sky and formed a pile.

Most of them appeared to be half-human and half-demon. At that moment, their souls had been corroded by the second wave of poison…

Li Changshou mumbled, "It's better to release the poison personally so that I won't waste the poisonous properties."

Three paper dolls jumped out of the paper effigy' sleeve and transformed into three sullen-faced old Daoists. They charged forward skillfully…

Due to the fact that there were too many paper effigies that he had to control at the same time, the battle situation was pressing. The next batch of "customers" were being lured over. The follow-up could only be simple.

The paper dolls poured out three bottles of Bone Erosion Divine Water and threw out two Soul-Bewitching Pearls…

Li Changshou "personally" threw out two shots of True Samadhi Flames. The demon corpses, which had lost most of their defensive power, were instantly engulfed by the True Samadhi Flames.

In order to protect the Little Qiong Peak's environment, the three paper dolls carefully controlled the range of the True Samadhi Flames and began to recite sutras.

All of a sudden, the sound of mosquitoes appeared in the forest.

Li Changshou was already prepared. Tiny electric arcs immediately appeared around the paper effigies!

However, before the Blood Mosquito could get close to Li Changshou, a long tongue stuck out from a nearby tree branch. It caught the Blood Mosquito accurately and pulled it aside.

Croak…

The Jade Frog, that was lying on the tree branch, called out to Li Changshou softly as if it was asking for credit.

All over the forest, the sounds of frogs croaking could be heard…

Li Changshou felt that it was a pity. He had originally wanted to test if the 'Lightning Mosquito Web' had any effect.

You're even asking for credit eh…

I'll fry you after the fight!

Li Changshou turned around and jumped off the tree branch. He then added another shot of True Flames.

After a while, the corpses were burned to ashes. With a hard slap of his hand, the ashes scattered everywhere.

It felt comfortable…

"I earned some merit again."

It's good even though compared to the incense offerings he had accumulated by "accidentally", that amount of karma-repelling merit is considered very small…

The three sullen-faced old Daoists quickly cleaned up the battlefield, returned to their paper doll forms, and jumped back into the sleeves of the burly paper effigy.

Li Changshou looked at the destroyed forest in front of him and felt a little regretful.

Many of the trees were planted after he went up the mountain…

Forget it. In order to protect the sect, making some sacrifices is inevitable.

If the Immortal Du Sect can make it through this time, I'll secretly go to other peaks and steal some spirit wood and roots after the battle. I'll just treat it as a reward from the sect…

He chuckled and ran to the outer boundary of the maze. Then, he hung a new wooden sign that read "Are you lost?"

Then, the burly man patted his face and sprayed some blood belonging to the spiritual beasts, onto his body.

He ripped off his clothes and shook his long hair. His aura became chaotic and it was as if he was seriously injured. He was strong on the outside but weak on the inside…

He returned to his usual arrogant and domineering self. Carrying his huge ax, he jumped into the air and rushed towards the Heaven-Splitting Peak while continuing to yell.

"Ahahaha!"

"You brats! Your grandfather, I, am back again!"

"If you have what it takes, fight me head-on!"

"Those useless things have all been destroyed by my Dharma treasures! Hahahaha!"

On the Little Qiong Peak, the outer array formation that had been blown apart earlier was recovering on its own.

The array foundations that were hidden deep inside emitted light once again. With the help of the deeper array formations, they slowly returned to their correct positions.

The real Chain Array formation was not as simple as just adding one link to another.

Under the outer layer of the array, there was a deep layer of array formations that could maintain and repair the outer layer.

Not long after the burly paper effigy left, the entire forest was just like before. From the outside, it looked exactly the same as before…

However, it was inevitable that some parts of it were affected by the mystical abilities, leaving some traces behind.

After a while, another two figures rushed to the Little Qiong Peak from another direction. Of course, they were the other two paper effigies who were luring the enemy.

The same scene took place again.

The female paper effigy deliberately let herself get hit by the Dharma treasure that flew behind her and fell downwards.

The paper effigy carrying the sword hurriedly took flight while the dozen or so figures behind him immediately chased after him.

At the edge of the array formation, a few people sensed danger and stopped in their tracks.

However, the male effigy's actions quickly attracted their attention…

The male paper effigy pushed his "junior" into the forest, turned around, and faced his enemies. He gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

"Don't force me to draw my sword!"

The group of pursuers could not hold themselves back. One of them took the lead and moved together.

In a narrow and dark corner, Li Changshou felt that if someone saw his expression, they might think that he was crazy.

He would occasionally look serious and righteous.

Occasionally, he would smile and curse.

Occasionally, he would smile coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.

In terms of acting chops…

Actually, it was because Li Changshou had to be careful of every single detail such as the aura and expression of every paper effigy…

The three paper cultivators took turns to lure the enemies around the Heaven-Breaking Peak. The Little Qiong Peak's array formation played a crucial role. It kept the enemies within the array formation, preventing them from looking outside. They would then be destroyed by killing arrays and poisonous pills.

Although his main body was no longer in the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou was doing his best.

So far, not considering the result of the sneak attack launched together with Elder Wan Linyun, more than one-third of the enemy's combat strength had been destroyed by Li Changshou through the Poison Array, Poison Arrows, self-detonating paper dolls and the paper effigies that lured the enemies. That helped to relieve the immense pressure on the Immortal Du Sect!

In fact, he had even become the factor that changed the outcome!

There was no such thing as a balance in the Primordial World…

Although the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect had made guesses, no one knew anything about the troops that were giving aid, other than Elder Wan Linyun.

At the same time, Li Changshou had to focus his attention on his junior.

An old Daoist in the Heaven Immortal realm and a demonic roc in the Perfected Immortal realm were heading towards the east to attack the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect who had previously used the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array to escape.

That piece of news was also relayed by the Grand Elder to the elders in charge of the external affairs, who were protecting the disciples.

However, there were more than a thousand disciples there. How could they move safely?

At that moment, everyone in the valley, which was originally as beautiful as a painting, was in a state of panic. Many disciples looked terrified.

To them, it was definitely not good news for a Heaven Immortal to be chasing them.

Hence…

Youqin Xuanya stood up again!

"Elders, I am willing to lure away powerful enemies!"

"No!"

A Perfected Immortal who was in charge of the external affairs shouted, "How can we stay safe and let our young disciples risk their lives outside!?!"

"Elder Tian, you and I will fight that evil thief!"

"Alright!" Another elder stood up. The two of them immediately rose into the sky.

At that moment, a slightly uneasy voice came from the crowd. "Why can't we use the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array to send two Heaven Immortal realm experts to the sect?"

Everyone turned to look at the voice. It was Ling'e.

Many people were enlightened. What Ling'e suggested was indeed a good idea.

However, a small number of disciples revealed a bitter smile.

The people smiling bitterly were the last batch of disciples to use the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array.

Actually, there should have been hundreds of people from the Essence Immortal realm who had teleported over together. However, those people who had already become immortals chose to stay in the sect at the last minute…

In order to prevent the disciples' whereabouts from being exposed, the Essence Immortals destroyed the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array, cutting off their own escape routes.

After the few of them explained in a low voice, the disciples became excited!

"We'll just fight with them here!"

"Yes!"

"My teacher is still fighting and killing enemies in the sect. We can't die in vain!"

"At most, my soul will be destroyed. In any case, I feel that I won't be able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!"

Li Changshou frowned secretly. This situation was extremely disadvantageous for him.

Fortunately, Youqin Xuanya was there.

Li Changshou pulled his junior and whispered a few words into her ear. The two of them walked towards Youqin Xuanya.

The following plan was to make use of Youqin Xuanya's status and prestige…

He was really not a tool.

Report chapter

Chapter 94: Please Be Steady

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were sounds of mumbling and rustling.

Li Changshou and Ling'e stood in front of Youqin Xuanya. Ling'e and Youqin Xuanya kept whispering to each other, but Li Changshou simply nodded or shook his head.

In reality, it was Li Changshou who was secretly transmitting the message and handing a porcelain bottle to Youqin Xuanya without leaving any clues…

"Senior Brother Changshou why don't you come forward to do it?"

Youqin Xuanya used her voice transmission technique and continued, "I know that you don't want to be implicated and involved with these formalities but, Senior, the reputation that you deserve should be given to you."

"Li Changshou" smiled and said, "Junior Sister Youqin, if you can see and hear what I have, you will not ask me this question."

Youqin Xuanya was stunned.

She looked at Li Changshou who always had a gentle smile on his face and nodded.

She seemed to have understood something.

Although Li Changshou did not understand what she understood… he felt that she should have understood something…

Li Changshou felt that he had gradually grasped some tricks that he could use to deal with his Junior Sister Youqin.

Many disciples in the surroundings saw that scene, but they did not know what the three of them were mumbling about.

"Who is that fellow disciple?"

"Didn't Junior Sister Ling'e's senior brother fight the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island and the prince of the Dragon Palace before?"

"Oh… Wolf Fang Club! How could I have forgotten about him? My memory is bad."

Li Changshou transmitted his voice, "Junior Sister Youqin, there's no time to waste. The other party might find this place immediately."

Youqin Xuanya nodded gently. She carried her sword and flew into the sky, looking at the chaotic crowd below.

Youqin Xuanya shouted, "Everyone, time is running out. Listen to me! I have a way to make strong enemies retreat."

"The enemy has the demonic roc as a mode of transport and they're after the earth meridians. It's impossible to escape from this place after they find the earth meridians!"

The disciples below looked up.

Fortunately, Youqin Xuanya was stepping on a white cloud that no one could see through…

She took out a porcelain bottle and shouted, "Everyone, please take a look. This is a peerless poisonous pill bestowed by Elder Wan Linyun that can kill Heaven Immortals!"

"Later, I will attack together with my senior brothers and sisters. I will use this poisonous pill to set up an array formation. I will use this to see if I can seriously injure this enemy! Everyone, please return to your caves and wait near the earth meridians."

"Elders, please listen to me! If Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters and I cannot succeed, all the elders will have to fight with their lives to protect the disciples!"

Youqin Xuanya's words were full of emotions.

Even if Li Changshou had not arranged for the next battle plan, he would still be 99% certain that he could destroy the enemies because, during the battle at the mountain gate, he had already figured out the strength of the old Daoist who was in the Heaven Immortal realm.

Li Changshou himself was almost moved by Youqin Xuanya's words…

At the same time, the one-tenth chance of losing was something that could not be erased as usual.

The Heavenly Dao was random.

He had to respect the Heavenly Dao!

The elders stood up immediately, wanting to use the poisonous pill in Youqin Xuanya's place.

Elder Tian said, "Xuanya, a Heaven Immortal is not to be trifled with…"

"Elder!" Youqin Xuanya's eyes seemed to be shining as she continued firmly, "Please trust me!"

"Well…"

"Xuanya, Elder Tian and I will stay here. You will also assist us here. What do you think?"

The other Perfected Immortal elder who was in charge of external affairs added, "Then, the two of us guard disciples will set up another array formation in the cave and use it as an ambush."

Youqin Xuanya thought for a while and immediately agreed after hearing Li Changshou's voice transmission.

The elders called out to the disciples who had just flown out of the ground, and they immediately flew towards the cave deep in the valley…

The disciples who had yet to become immortals were really in a sorry state.

In a corner, Ling'e muttered softly, "That works too?"

Li Changshou's paper avatar stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Some people and some things cannot be understood using common sense."

Ling'e seemed to be deep in thought. She looked up at her senior brother and asked softly, "What about you, Senior Brother?"

"Be more serious. There are still many troublesome matters to deal with next."

Li Changshou transmitted his voice and retreated half a step to the side, avoiding the cave.

"Ling'e, you must follow me later. Don't wander around."

"Yes!"

Ling'e reached her slender hand out and carefully pulled the back of Li Changshou's robe. Although she was in danger, she could not help but blush a little.

Li Changshou transmitted his voice calmly, "Let's set three rules."

"Hmph." Ling'e took half a step to the side and remained standing with her hands behind her back as if she was not very familiar with Li Changshou.

At this moment, no one paid much attention to a pretty female disciple like her who didn't have a high cultivation level.

Many disciples went to Youqin Xuanya and said that they wanted to stay behind to fight against the enemy.

However, Youqin Xuanya thought about Li Changshou's previous warnings and continuously refused. In the end, she used the excuse that the disciples of the Little Qiong Peak were good at using the Earth Escape technique and left Li Changshou and Ling'e behind.

Not long after, the elders worked together and quickly set up a concealment array at the entrance of the cave.

At the same time, it prevented the people in the underground cave from investigating…

The powerful enemy might arrive at any time. At this moment, they should be searching along the earth meridians and wasting some time.

Or do they have other plans? I have to be wary of that.

Li Changshou pondered deeply. He glanced at Ling'e and continued to guide Youqin Xuanya secretly.

Since he had chosen to let Youqin Xuanya be a tool for once, he would use her to the greatest extent…

Later on, he would put in more effort to ensure that she did not expose all that.

The two Perfected Immortal elders who were in charge of external affairs brought their three disciples along with them as they flew out of the valley. They purposely revealed their auras on the side of the valley.

That was to attract the attention of powerful enemies…

At that moment, an elder turned to look at Li Changshou and Ling'e. He wanted to tell them to be careful, but he could only sigh softly.

"The two of you are good at using Earth Escape. If anything goes wrong, you should protect yourselves!"

Li Changshou and Ling'e looked at each other and nodded.

Soon, two trapping arrays and protective arrays were erected on the hillside.

The two elders who were Perfected Immortals grabbed the poisonous pill and checked it carefully.

It was indeed a pill refined by Elder Wan Linyun. When the two of them probed the poison pill, they felt their spiritual senses pulsating. They knew that it was an impressive item.

It was actually the incapacitating agent—Heart-bewitching Intoxication.

Hence, the two elders looked less worried and were more determined. There was hope…

While they were setting up the array, Li Changshou hid behind a huge rock with Ling'e. His mind was focused on the intense battle at the mountain gate.

The second time the burly paper effigy appeared, the effect was not ideal.

The Blood Mosquito puppets had already reacted. They did not immediately send people to chase after them. Instead, they attacked the Heaven-Breaking Peak with all their might.

After all, the previous batch of "fellow Daoists" had been silently destroyed on a mountain peak.

It was obvious that there was something fishy about that.

Most of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect felt that that burly man must have gone through a bloody battle to be able to kill so many great demons. It was truly admirable.

The burly man continued to curse. However, the only responses he received were mystical abilities and Dharma treasures. He was unable to lure the enemy.

Forget it.

It would be a coincidence to lure too many enemies to the Little Qiong Peak once or twice but if it's too frequent, it would be hard to explain…

The battle on the Immortal Du Sect's main peak had already stabilized. The Blood Mosquito puppets have lost their spirit.

Although the Immortal Du Sect had been suppressed at this moment, the rate at which the casualties increased was extremely slow. The effects of Elder Wan Linyun, Exalted Wang Qing, and other experts had also become more prominent.

However, the situation was not entirely stable.

Now, he had to wait for the Golden Immortals above him to decide the winner. That was the most important part.

If one of the Sect Leaders of the Immortal Du Sect or Elder Qi Ling had lost before the experts from the Ren School arrived, the Immortal Du Sect would still lose…

How can I help a battle between Golden Immortals?

This thought popped up in Li Changshou's mind. Then, he frowned and began to check himself.

Have I been too careless?

This is clearly beyond my current ability. It is not something that I have to do no matter what.

Could it be that I've been struck with something like a tribulation?

Otherwise, how could I have such ridiculous thoughts?

Li Changshou did not think too much about it. After sorting out his thoughts, he continued to follow his plan.

A moment later…

The Paper Effigy No. 3 beside Ling'e had already sensed the demonic aura of the demonic roc. Although the other party had taken a detour, he still successfully chased after her.

At that moment, Li Changshou immediately controlled the three paper effigies in the mountain gate. The burly man and his fellow disciples took the initiative to attack the Mosquito Puppet's main array.

The three "people" quickly fell into a difficult situation and were unable to recover.

However, they were unyielding and had nothing to lose. In the end, they rushed to the place where the other demons were at, and instantly self-destructed!

The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect shouted, "Fellow Daoist, you can't do that!" Many old immortals, who had been in seclusion all year round, looked up and sighed.

However…

Both parties felt that they had seen that scene before…

Li Changshou felt his heart ache as well.

After all, those three paper effigies were of the highest quality and standards he could achieve for now. They also cost the most amount of paper.

However, there was nothing he could do. The three paper effigies had already played their role and had been tainted by karma.

That was especially so for the burly man. When he scolded the demon race, he felt good. However, in the future, it would not be easy for him to deal with some big shots that were related to the demons, such as Daoist Lu Ya.

However, he was gone after the explosion.

That burly man was the one who scolded the Demon Emperor. What did it have to do with Li Changshou, the weak junior immortal of Little Qiong Peak?

Li Changshou secretly looked at the anti-depreciating objects on him and did not think about it further.

In fact, the demons had long retreated from the stage of the Primordial world. In order to deal with the witches, the Demon Emperor had slaughtered many humans and used the souls of humans to refine incredible treasures. When the human race was almost extinct, he formed a huge feud that would not cease until he died.

Fortunately, Saint Nuwa and the experts from the Dao Sect, who had long become enemies with the Demon Emperor, had protected the human bloodline.

As a human, it would not be considered rude for him to jump around the Demon Emperor's grave, not to mention teasing him lightly.

That was indeed the case.

At the end of ancient times, after the third Great Magi-Demon War, the demons suffered great losses. The human race seized the opportunity to defeat the demon race. At that time, there was a human leader who ordered people to dance and play music in front of the fallen Demon Court for decades to celebrate.

The prosperity of the human race was not obtained just by paying respects to Heaven and Earth and the Three Sects.

It was obvious how difficult it was to achieve great things with just one sentence.

However, when people talked about the past, they would often say that the witches and demons were not counted as part of the heavens, thus highlighting the rise of the human race.

Li Changshou was deeply touched by that battle…

There was a mastermind who wanted to plot against the Immortal Du Sect and yet, so many Perfected Immortals and Heaven Immortals died…

(A disguise to avoid karma, and a trump card to sever karma. Both are of equal importance.)

In the future, he could not say that the problem was whether he was going to hide or not.

Instead…

How deep could he hide?

At this moment, the 'Heaven' Paper Effigy No. 2 was hiding under the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

The one with the 'Heaven Break' characters transformed into his master, Qi Yuan, and sat quietly in the Pill Chamber while secretly controlling Little Qiong Peak's array formation.

Li Changshou focused most of his attention on Paper Effigy No. 3 which protected his junior and master. He was prepared to kill the Heaven Immortal old Daoist, who was going to attack him later and protect the "offspring" of the Immortal Du Sect.

There was no need for Li Changshou to attack, given the current battle situation around the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

It had not been long since the battle started, but Li Changshou knew that he had done enough.

Everything was better than nothing.

At that moment, most of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect felt guilty and grateful towards the three paper effigies that were passionate about Dao and had self-destructed…

That was enough.

Of course, Li Changshou would not have expected that there was already a Grand Elder who wanted to set up a monument for the three paper effigies afterward. That was a rather absurd matter.

The Immortal Du Sect was 8,000 kilometers to the east. The Azure demonic roc flew through the air and circled in the air for a while. Two immortal senses were locked onto the few people below.

Li Changshou transmitted his voice to Ling'e, "Stay closer to me. You can use me as a shield."

"Huh?"

Ling'e blinked and quickly hid behind "Li Changshou" who protected her completely.

Youqin Xuanya and the two elders who were in charge of external affairs were ready to attack at any moment.

Underground, Ling'e was rather puzzled. She asked softly while blushing, "Senior Brother, why are you…"

"Watch more. Talk less. Study hard."

Ling'e immediately nodded and agreed. She was also a little nervous.

Several streams of light suddenly came crashing down from above. The two elders joined forces and activated the array formation around them, barely managing to receive the light.

Then, the demonic roc folded its wings and swooped down from the sky. It was extremely fast!

However, the figure on the demonic roc's stopped in the air.

The Heaven Immortal, who was controlled by the Blood Mosquito's mystical abilities, had a deep impression of the "toxic" Immortal Du Sect…

Chapter 95: A Little Trump Card

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The demonic roc swooped down. The five people below had different reactions.

The immortal powers of the two Perfected Immortal elders surged. As they strengthened the array formation, they were prepared to fight with all their might.

Youqin Xuanya immediately rushed to Li Changshou and Ling'e's side. The sword on her back was unsheathed and protected the three of them.

As for Ling'e and Li Changshou…

There were some ripples under their feet that looked like water. Half an inch of their legs had already sunk into the ground, and they were prepared to… use Earth Escape to flee anytime…

Screech—

The demonic roc was still thousands of feet in the sky when it suddenly shouted. It spread its wings, and dozens of long nails flew out from its wings that were dozens of feet long and towards the array formation below!

Li Changshou immediately told Youqin Xuanya to keep the situation stable.

Youqin Xuanya held the porcelain bottle in her left hand, which would decide their fates. She raised her right hand and pointed her sword in front of her. Her simple tresses danced gently as she looked up at the demonic roc.

She could sense that after that demonic roc, there would be an even more terrifying existence…

Even though she was only at the Dao Requital realm and had yet to become an immortal, there was no fear in Youqin Xuanya's gaze.

She had no choice but to take a gamble!

Ling'e looked at Li Changshou, her eyes filled with admiration, as if she were saying, "Senior Sister Youqin is so suave."

"Li Changshou" smiled calmly and did not reply. His gaze landed on the Heaven Immortal in the sky…

That fellow was surprisingly difficult to deal with.

As the long spikes landed on the ground, the two Perfected Immortals attacked together. The array formation's light wall started to tremble. It was on the verge of breaking.

After all, it was a temporary defensive array.

The demonic roc realized that it had already tested the strength of the array formation below, and hence let out a cold laugh…

It raised its head and looked at the old Daoist priest in the sky. It lowered its head and dashed down once again!

Li Changshou's voice entered Youqin Xuanya's ears at this moment.

"Junior Sister, get ready."

Youqin Xuanya was shocked and focused on observing the situation.

When the demonic roc rushed over, she shouted softly, "Elder, please retreat!"

The two elders who were Perfected Immortals retracted their immortal powers at the same time. The array formation's light wall above them disappeared instantly!

There were no obstacles in front of the demonic roc . It charged down ferociously, and with its surging demonic power, it attacked the two elders who were in charge of external affairs and were already injured!

At that moment, the two elders had broken out into cold sweat…

At that moment, Youqin Xuanya was still very calm. Facing the strong pressure of a demon in the Perfected Immortal realm, she found an opportunity to pull open the cork and wrap the porcelain bottle with her Dharma powers…

In that situation, she did not tremble at all even though she was only a junior Daoist.

When the demonic roc rushed towards the two Perfected Immortal elders, Youqin Xuanya hollered according to Li Changshou's instructions and then, she threw out the porcelain bottle in her hand!

"Elder, retreat!"

The two elders immediately dodged left and right. However, they simultaneously recalled something and turned their heads to look. In an instant…

The four old men's eyes widened, and their eyeballs almost popped out!

The poisonous pill was meant to be stimulated using immortal power. It would then silently injure the enemy. It was not meant for smashing others like that!

The 's stared at Youqin Xuanya with a hint of contempt in its bird-like eyes. A wave of demonic power swept towards the porcelain bottle, in a bid to send the poisonous pill inside flying…

At this moment!

Flames exploded behind the porcelain bottle. Youqin Xuanya's flying sword had already struck the porcelain bottle!

The porcelain bottle exploded instantly, and the poisonous pill inside exploded as well. The poison was dispersed in all directions!

The demonic power from the demonic roc had mysteriously disappeared…

The two elders opened their mouths in shock…

The demonic roc was still more than a hundred feet away from the ground. However, its body trembled and it fell to the ground. It knocked into the edge of the array formation and lay there motionlessly.

Uh…

This works too?

The two elders and even Youqin Xuanya were surprised.

The three of them felt similar emotions.

The poison pill that Elder Wan Linyun refined is indeed impressive!

However, the actual situation was…

It was naturally impossible to throw the bottle to release the poison in it. Li Changshou had only done it secretly.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic power released by the demonic roc had been transformed by the Paper Effigy No. 3 with the 'Human' character written on it.

The poisonous pill exploded, and only weak poisonous properties spread.

The thing that charmed the demonic roc was the drug that Li Changshou had secretly released.

Li Changshou had made that arrangement for the sake of ;letting everyone remember that Youqin Xuanya had thrown out the poisonous pill that made everyone faint.

The drug that he had secretly released was not only enough to take down the …

The two elders closest to the demonic roc immediately felt dizzy. Their bodies swayed as they slowly laid down.

Elder Tian held his last breath of immortal power and looked at Youqin Xuanya. He could not help but smile bitterly.

"Xuanya… you don't just throw poison like that…"

With a few clangs, Youqin Xuanya's flying sword fell from the sky. Before she could reply, she slowly closed her eyes. Her body was weak, and she fell from the sky…

Ling'e took two steps forward and quickly hugged her senior sister. She immediately used Earth Escape to hide.

However, Ling'e suddenly felt her vision turn dark. She hugged Youqin Xuanya and fell to the ground…

Senior Brother, you are indeed…

Ling'e sighed softly in her heart. She fainted, but she was not worried.

Li Changshou's body swayed as well. He held his head and groaned twice. Then, he slowly fell to the ground, right beside his junior.

The demon, four people, and the paper effigy were swaying on the hillside.

At first glance, there were indeed no flaws. It was just that Youqin Xuanya did not know how to release poison and had been drugged by her own drug.

However, the old Heaven Immortal Daoist in the sky sneered when he saw that.

He actually… did not land directly.

The old Daoist priest took out a huge seal and a pearl. He first raised the pearl and let it float above his head. It emitted a green light that enveloped him.

Following that, the seal landed on the spot where they were.

The huge seal expanded in the wind. In an instant, it became hundreds of feet wide, and the treasures around it flickered.

With the aid of the Heaven Immortal realm's cultivation level, it seemed as if the entire valley was going to collapse!

In a dark and narrow corner, Li Changshou's lips twitched.

This old Daoist priest was clearly in the Heaven Immortal realm. Furthermore, the five people below had already been drugged by them. Yet, they still refused to come down and instead used their Dharma treasures to injure the enemy from afar…

Li Changshou sighed.

I actually met someone from the same sect. Ahem, I actually met such a difficult opponent!

Fortunately, I had made sufficient preparations.

When he saw the huge seal rapidly crashing down, it brought about various airwaves, stirring up the surging Primordial Energy. Although it was powerful, it was slightly pulsating.

Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He took a glance at the Sensing Stone and looked at the cave entrance deep in the valley.

His immortal sense enveloped a radius of three hundred kilometers, searching for any other dangers.

The paper effigy who was lying on the ground was motionless.

However, his sleeve, which was made of spirit beast hides, was opened silently. A few Jade Frogs jumped out and looked around curiously. Then, they waited by the side in boredom.

At that moment, a skinny old Daoist priest emerged from the grass nearby.

The old Daoist priest did not say a word. He took out a square "chessboard" and threw it into the air.

Seventy-two 'Miniature Array Foundations' flew out from it.

The array foundations were linked together, and spiritual energy flowed inside, forming a wall of light!

The huge seal crashed down!

However, the light wall only shook slightly. Not only did it firmly stop the seal, it even blocked it.

This chessboard was not an ordinary array disc, nor was it a Dharma artifact.

It was a solid step that Li Changshou had taken on the path to the miniaturization of the array formation…

One small step.

However, the drawback of the miniaturization of the array formation was that the basic spiritual power of the array formation was insufficient.

Although the array formation managed to block the seal's attack, it quickly dimmed and dissipated on its own. The array foundation's spiritual energy was exhausted and it returned to the chessboard on its own…

It was really a single-use protective array formation.

Overall, the effect of the miniature array formation was not as good as a powerful defensive Dharma treasure, but it still bought enough time.

The moment the array formation was activated, a few large hands emerged from the ground and dragged the unconscious elders, Ling'e, and Youqin Xuanya underground.

Even the Elder of the Hundred Mortal Hall, who was quite familiar with Li Changshou, could not escape the fate of having his hair pulled out by the ruthless hands.

There was no choice. Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators had long, flowing hair. That part of their bodies… was the most convenient to grab.

Paper Effigy No. 3 was the only one left on the ground.

As for who the old Daoist priest who appeared to save his life was…

Currently, Li Changshou had more than three types of paper effigies. There were actually five types in total.

The types were Heaven, earth, human, god, and ghost.

[God] Paper Effigy: One of Li Changshou's trump cards. It was specially used for high-end fights that involved magical powers. It was accompanied by Li Changshou's main body. Its quality was similar to that of the 'Heaven' paper effigy but it had many trump cards.

The old Daoist priest who had suddenly appeared was the 'God' Paper Effigy No.1.

He stimulated the aura fluctuations of the late-stage Perfected Immortal realm and his immortal power surged. He faced the old Heaven Immortal Daoist above him.

The old Heaven Immortal Daoist in the air focused his gaze.

He held the Treasure Seal in his hand and a green pearl above his head. As his sleeves fluttered, he flew towards the old Daoist priest.

The 'God' Paper Effigy No.1 held a horsetail whisk Dharma treasure, but the silver silk from the horsetail whisk was smeared with the Heaven Immortal Poison…

The 'God' Paper Effigy No.1′ let out a low cry and flew into the sky. He mumbled something in his mouth, and blue lightning was brewing in his left palm.

The two old Daoist masters were still thousands of feet away from each other. They directly sacrificed their treasures and cast their spells!

Above him, the treasure seal was smashed horizontally. The old Heaven Immortal's eyes shone with a sanguine glow. A purple sword appeared in his hand, which emitted rays of divine light.

The old Daoist priest below was wrapped in immortal power. His movements were elusive and difficult to capture. The divine light in his palm was released, and he was using the 'Heavenly Sun and Lightning'!

A huge battle broke out in the sky. Divine lightning shot out, treasures flew around, swords swayed, and old branches shook!

The old Daoist priest of the Heaven Immortal realm soon discovered that although his opponent who had appeared out of nowhere had an aura of the Perfected Immortal realm, the power and quality of his spells and immortal powers seemed to be stronger than his own…

He was unable to take down the Perfected Immortal!

The horsetail whisk released a few strands of silver silk, which were like silver needles, and they secretly pierced the old Heaven Immortal's neck.

The pearl on the old Daoist priest's head trembled slightly. Wisps of green light scattered and melted the silver needle.

Is that…

In the darkness, Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and sensed a familiar aura.

This green pearl…

It's a poison-repelling pearl refined from the Red Yang Poisonous Dragon pearl!

Good stuff…

With this treasure, the effects of my poison would be greatly reduced.

However, Li Changshou was not in a hurry. His attention was focused on the 'God' Paper Effigy No.1, and he was calculating the consumption of immortal power of the paper effigy.

The horsetail whisk in the paper effigy's hand was like a brush as it wrote the golden words.

Mystical abilities: Writes Sutras.

In an instant, dozens of golden words flew around the lightning.

The old Daoist priest from the Heaven Immortal realm felt a sense of pressure. When he was struck by the words, his immortal powers surged.

However, after fighting for a while, the old Daoist priest was already slightly injured…

Although the 'God' Paper Effigy No.1's immortal power had only been depleted by 20%, he had deliberately exposed a flaw. He was hit by the treasure seal and his entire body was trembling. His body fell into a forest below.

The paper Daoist had immortal power to protect himself. To a certain extent, it could make up for the flaws in his defense. However, it would only consume more immortal power.

In the sky, the bloodstained Puppet that was in the Heaven Immortal realm finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The old Daoist priest who initially wanted to take advantage of the enemy's weakness, quickly chased after him.

Although Li Changshou wanted to give it a try as well, to see if he could use the 'God' paper effigy, which had many trump cards, to challenge an ordinary mid-stage Heaven Immortal cultivator, fights involving magical power were not child's play.

He had to end it fast.

In the trunks of a few large trees in the forest, three figures, who had just arrived, slowly opened their eyes. The miniature array discs in their sleeves had been activated by immortal power…

Report chapter

In Li Changshou's opinion…

This Heaven Immortal Daoist priest, who was controlled by the Blood Mosquitoes, was indeed reliable enough.

When he saw that only two out of the five people beneath him were Perfected Immortals who were fighting on the surface, the old Daoist priest decided to let the demonic roc scout the way first…

When the five of them and the demonic roc were bewitched at the same time, the old Daoist priest had actually powered his Dharma treasure from afar. He had tried to deal the final blow, ignoring the possibility of killing his companion's demonic roc…

Unfortunately, the old Daoist priest still could not stabilize himself.

If the old Daoist priest of the Heaven Immortal realm remained in the air and did not give Li Changshou a chance to attack him, Li Changshou might have been forced to reveal his true form and quickly kill that person.

However, that person…

After being seduced for a while, he came down from the sky. He did not know the logic of refraining from entering every forest' and continued to chase after him…

The stability that he had been maintaining was destroyed in an instant.

The stability that he had been maintaining for a long time, was gone because of a careless mistake.

The Blood Mosquito Puppets of the Heaven Immortal realm were anxious but not careful enough.

In the forest, the three paper effigies that were hiding in the tree trunk had been waiting quietly for a long time. They were prepared to attack at any time…

Li Changshou's mind raced as he controlled the four paper effigies at a close distance. One of them fled while the other three crouched and retreated.

As he approached the ambush, the old Heaven Immortal seemed to sense danger. His eyes were filled with a hint of hesitation…

In front of him, the 'God' Paper Effigy No.1, who was flying along the forest, spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura was even more chaotic as if he could not hold on any longer.

The old Heaven Immortal quickly caught up to him and rushed to the edge of the ambush!

However, Li Changshou did not panic. He decided to hold his ground and wait for the best opportunity.

Not only could he wait for the right time, but he could also create it himself.

Li Changshou preferred to be in control.

The 'God' Paper Effigy No.1 flew hundreds of feet forward. Suddenly, he turned around with a look of determination. He carried his horsetail whisk and rushed towards the old Heaven Immortal Daoist, looking like he was going to risk his life by going all out.

The Heaven Immortal Daoist gave a cold smile as the Poison-Repelling Pearl above his head glistened.

He took out his treasure seal, raised the sword which was a Numinous Treasure in his hand, and slashed out a sharp sword beam that was hundreds of feet long!

In order to end the battle quickly, Li Changshou had already decided to make a small loss. He was going to sacrifice the paper effigy to kill the old Heaven Immortal Daoist.

Using the 'God' Paper Effigy to exchange for the life of a Heaven Immortal is indeed a loss compared to using poison.

'God' Paper Effigy No.1's body moved horizontally, barely dodging the sword. However, he did not care about the seal that was coming from the sky.

Seeing that the seal was about to hit his enemy, the old Heaven Immortal's lips curled into a cold smile. A dark green wave appeared around him…

An ambush!

The old Daoist priest was slightly shocked. However, he could no longer react. He was caught by a blue wave!

The old Daoist priest's essence soul was restrained by the array and his immortal body could not move at all.

Trapping Array: Green Water Cage

That was an opportunity that could not be missed!

There was not much spirit energy in the miniature array foundation!

A thousand feet away, another two Dharma artifact array discs were sent out of the tree trunk. The miniature array foundations on them immediately scattered. In the blink of an eye, they had formed a formation!

The three arrays overlapped but did not interfere with each other!

Small-scale killing arrays as such could only be used once in a short period of time. Every time it was used, it would require up to hundreds of meticulous adjustments. Li Changshou had used two of them…

A cold light flickered in the forest.

Countless blades shot out and landed on the old Daoist priest!

Another pool of pitch-black sludge appeared at the old Daoist priest's feet in a strange manner. The green jewel on his head shone brightly!

The old Heaven Immortal Daoist's deadpan expression revealed a hint of anxiety. His entire body was filled with immortal energy, and he wanted to use it to resist the surrounding attacks…

However, the first killing array had seriously injured him.

The old Daoist priest's immortal power barrier and the clothing on his body which were Immortal Treasures, could not last more than a breath's time before they were torn apart by the cold beams of light.

At once, blood splattered everywhere.

After the cold light burst out, the old Daoist priest's body was covered in wounds. He was barely breathing and was seriously injured…

All of a sudden, an obscure Dao rune surged out from between the old Daoist priest's eyebrows and rapidly spread throughout his body!

The old Daoist priest's eyes turned cold and vicious.

Li Changshou immediately caught that detail and was shocked.

Daoist Wen!?!

It should be her.

However, he had considered that situation before…

Li Changshou did not panic at all. He continued following the steps of his plan. Three paper effigies emerged from the tree trunk. While the trapping array formation was still running, they quickly rushed towards the heavily injured Heaven Immortal Daoist.

Even if you are a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal or a vicious person of the Primordial World, you'd be in trouble as long as I kill this old Daoist that contains some of your spiritual will. You can't make bricks without straws.

At that moment, deep underground.

The red hairpin on Ling'e's head flickered and glowed as if something inside was about to rush out…

The red hairpin was a simple Dharma treasure that Li Changshou had personally refined two months ago. After giving it to Ling'e who was very fond of it, she was unwilling to take it off even when she slept.

In the forest, at the point where the three array formations overlapped, the Dao runes on the old Heaven Immortal's body became more obvious. A sanguine glow that emitted a powerful pressure emerged from his body!

However…

Crack!

A blood-stained palm attacked from the side. The sanguine incantations on the palm shone brightly. It flew over the old Daoist priest's head and hit the Poison-Repelling Pearl!

The Poison-Repelling Pearl was sent flying!

Without the protection of the pearl, the black water below immediately unleashed its might and instantly melted the old Daoist priest's feet and legs…

Daoist Wen Jing, who was lying on the bed in the Aparagodānīya Continent, frowned slightly.

Just as Li Changshou had expected, she was too far away and had only sent a wisp of spiritual will…

However, she actually… got defeated?

Before Daoist Wen Jing could retract her spiritual will,

The three figures with different faces and figures had already rushed to the old Daoist priest's side and stood in proper positions.

They moved in unison. They raised their right hands and placed their sword fingers at their left wrist, before pushing their left palms forward!

In each of their palms, there was a flame-like incantation pattern. The three runes were ignited at the same time.

The True Samadhi Flames unleashed their full power. The old Daoist priest's severely injured body was immediately engulfed by the flames. He was instantly burned to the point of being disfigured!

Li Changshou suddenly had a thought.

The Daoist priest facing the old Daoist priest, who looked like a middle-aged Daoist priest, humphed coldly.

"Hmph!"

"I don't care what demon you are. You will be executed by me today!"

The immortal powers in the three paper Daoists turned into True Samadhi Flames and were darting towards the old Daoist.

Due to Daoist Wen's spiritual will, Li Changshou could skip all the steps. The True Samadhi Flames had forcefully melted the essence soul and immortal body of the old Daoist who was in the Heaven Immortal realm, instantly vaporizing the blood.

Finally, the Dao runes that frightened Li Changshou gradually disappeared…

In the darkness, Li Changshou took a deep breath. However, he did not dare to be careless. He immediately did what he had to do next.

What he said just now was not a casual remark.

When he said "I don't care what kind of demon you are." he was hinting that he did not know who Daoist Wen was.

He also deliberately said the word 'me', which was a trick.

Li Changshou did not know if his words would work, but it was better than not doing anything.

Li Changshou suddenly felt helpless as he looked at the ashes floating in the forest.

This matter…

How many years had it been since I transcended the tribulation?

I actually met Daoist Wen, the Primordial Beast, through the puppets and paper dolls.

The Primordial World is indeed more dangerous than I had imagined…

Deep in the ground, the jade hairpin swayed gently. It was inserted more firmly in Ling'e's black hair.

Defeated…

I lost?!

I, the queen, let my spiritual will descend and I couldn't do anything at all. Yet, I was burnt to ashes without doing anything!?!

'By me'? Who could it be?

In a Cave Abode near the spiritual mountain in the Aparagodānīya Continent.

Daoist Wen Jing, who was lying on the side of the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked a little irritated and waved her hand.

"Get lost!"

The two maids who were kneeling at the side did not dare to breathe. They hurriedly got up and retreated with their heads lowered.

Daoist Wen Jing's dress fluttered as she immediately sat up cross-legged. Waves of emotions rose in her heart…

Who is that person?

A moment ago, she was still admiring the chaotic battle in Immortal Du Sect.

When Daoist Wen Jing realized that the puppets she had gathered were already very weak, she was naturally dissatisfied.

The puppet that should have been suppressing the Immortal Du Sect had been destroyed for no reason.

In fact, the scheme could only cause some casualties to the Immortal Du Sect. It could not shake their foundations…

Although she was unhappy, she did not care.

After all, it was just a small scheme that did not require much effort.

The main battle was about to end. Daoist Wen Jing no longer had the intention to continue watching.

Her heart stirred. She wanted to see if the Heaven Immortals she had sent to kill the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect had completed their tasks.

Therefore, Daoist Wen Jing shifted her attention to the old Daoist priest.

Just as she looked over, she saw that the old Heaven Immortal was trapped in the array formation and was attacked by the killing array…

It was a huge tragedy!

Why are the puppets I found so useless!?!

In a fit of anger, Daoist Wen Jing decided to control the old Daoist priest and personally take action.

However, before she could show her might, she was burned to ashes by the three "Perfected Immortals" the moment she entered the puppet's mind…

'No, that doesn't seem to be a real living being. Could it be some kind of divine power's creation?

The person behind him might be an expert!

Before Daoist Wen Jing's eyes, the flame pattern began to appear.

It was a scene that was brought back by her spiritual will. She could not suppress it for a moment.

Who was this person?

Could it be that he is, like me, using a puppet to teach others?

Daoist Wen Jing snorted coldly in her heart. She forcefully wiped away the images and revealed a charming smile.

This Immortal Du Sect is getting more and more interesting…

"Eh? It's you?"

Suddenly, Daoist Wen Jing frowned. A man's voice sounded in her heart.

The person said, "Someone actually concealed your heavenly secrets? No wonder, I couldn't tell who you were even when I was halfway through."

Who?!

Who is speaking!

Daoist Wen Jing's body trembled. She immediately stopped the seal. A sanguine glow surged from her body and extinguished the voice.

However, she did not have the time to deduce what had happened. Her eyes were still in a daze as an extremely mysterious Dao rune revolved around her.

At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing suddenly sensed the emotions that she had not felt for a long time…

Fear.

The pure fear that came from the depths of her essence soul!

In a daze, Daoist Wen Jing seemed to have seen a layer of fog. However, at the same time, a water curtain appeared in front of her and blocked her figure.

She knew that it was the manifestation of a Great Dao phenomenon. This water curtain was the technique of a Saint that hid the heavenly secrets from her.

However, Daoist Wen Jing could not see through the fog at all.

Outside the water curtain, a silhouette in the fog, that was distorted by the water curtain was slowly walking over.

Daoist Wen Jing could vaguely see that the person was raising his left palm. There seemed to be two faint black and white auras in his palm. These two auras were chasing each other endlessly, containing profound truths.

"Tsk."

Daoist Wen Jing heard that voice again. The other party kept smiling.

"After borrowing the power of Teacher's painting, I can't tell who you are. You must be a disciple of a Saint."

Through the water curtain, the Daoist's figure kept twisting and swaying. However, Daoist Wen Jing felt a chill in her heart.

At this moment, she was locked by some Dao runes and could not escape from the illusion.

Then, the person said warmly, "I am Xuandu, the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue."

"Fellow Daoist, you wanted to harm my Ren School for no reason. You had evil intentions, and your methods are despicable. However, I will not touch you on account of the Saint behind you."

He continued, "If you dare to offend Ren School in the future, even if it's just the insignificant Immortal Du Sect… the Uncle-Master behind you might not be able to protect you."

After saying that, the figure outside the water curtain chuckled and slowly dissipated with the surrounding fog.

Daoist Wen Jing's vision blurred and she instantly saw the situation in her Cave Abode.

She looked down at her hands and felt her Dao.

They were trembling uncontrollably…

In the northwest direction of the Immortal Du Sect that was 5,000 kilometers away, Xuandu, who was standing on the cloud with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

"Eldest Senior Brother, how is it?" the old Daoist priest beside him quickly asked.

Report chapter

Chapter 97 The Powerful Big Shot

On the cloud, Xuandu explained briefly, "There is indeed someone behind this. When I discovered this wisp of Dao runes just now, I chased after it. However, with the help of a Saint, I can only rely on the power of the Taiji painting to scare him…"

The old Daoist priest beside him frowned and sighed.

Compared to Xuandu, he was dressed casually and had a mild temperament.

The old Daoist priest was very particular about his Daoist robe, Daoist hoop, Daoist boots, and the horsetail whisk in his hand. On the contrary, he had the demeanor of an otherworldly expert.

However, the old Daoist priest was extremely polite to Xuandu. When he spoke, he smiled and leaned forward slightly.

The old Daoist priest asked again, "Eldest Senior Brother, what do you think we should do next?"

"Dao Brother, let's go to the Immortal Du Sect to deal with the trouble first!"

Xuandu smiled and said, "If you go any later, they might have already dealt with their enemies. There won't be anything much for you, the founder, to do. Once you settle the matters regarding the Immortal Du Sect, remember to bring the corpses of the Qi Refinement cultivators from Golden Ao Island back to this place. We have to make a trip to Golden Ao Island later."

Corpses…

The old Daoist priest sighed. He understood and looked ashamed as he said, "I have to trouble you to go to great lengths this time, Eldest Senior Brother. I was too careless."

Xuandu waved his hand and urged.

"Hey, it's a small matter, it's a small matter. Fellow Daoist, hurry up and go! Since we're in this sect, we have gained karma. We should be more careful in the future."

"I will follow your instructions, Eldest Senior Brother."

The old Daoist priest, Perfected Du'e from the Kunlun Mountain, bowed to Xuandu.

He did not dare to delay any further. He immediately activated his Universe Spell and disappeared.

After traveling for less than 5,000 kilometers on the cloud that rose and fell, Perfected Du'e arrived above the Immortal Du Sect.

He lowered his head and looked down. He saw streams of light flowing around the main peak below. Rays of sanguine light were everywhere.

The Perfected One was instantly enraged!

The Qilin Beast that he had saved in the ancient times and placed in that place was almost suffering from a recurrence of its old injury.

One of the in-name disciples of Perfected Du'e finally became a cultivator in the Golden Immortal realm. Du'e was finally able to show off to the other cultivators of the Kunlun Mountain. Yet, the favored disciple of his was actually surrounded by two people and had gotten injured!

Perfected Du'e flung his horsetail whisk and exerted pressure on the Immortal Du Sect.

He then took a deep breath and activated the "Double Qi" technique. The tip of his nose trembled as he let out a muffled snort!

Below him, the three phony Golden Immortals all spat out blood after hearing the humph. Their Essence Souls were almost shattered…

The primordial Golden Immortal had extraordinary abilities!

Li Changshou's eyes suddenly lit up when he was secretly observing the situation in the Immortal Du Sect with the help of the paper effigy while cleaning up the battle 5,000 kilometers away.

My powerful supporter is here!

He suddenly got an urge and closed the array formation in the inner layer of Little Qiong Peak. The array formation outside the Pill Chamber was activated.

The 'Heaven' Paper Effigies No. 2 and No. 8 quickly transformed back into paper form in the mountain gate. The immortal power on them turned into spiritual energy and dissipated.

After doing that, Li Changshou immediately calmed his mind, as if nothing had happened.

At the bottom of the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array, where the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect were hiding…

The five people who had been charmed had already fallen to the ground on the slope beside the valley.

The bewitched demonic roc lay on the ground and snored loudly. Everything seemed to have frozen at the instant that Youqin Xuanya threw out the poisonous pill.

Youqin Xuanya was lying on the ground, surrounded by flying swords. Ling'e was lying beside Youqin Xuanya, as if she had had a terrible fall…

She faceplanted into the grass.

It could not be helped. Li Changshou had perfectly restored the "crime scene".

The unconscious "Li Changshou" who was lying at Ling'e's feet slowly sank into the ground and turned into a paper doll.

Without a sound, the jade hairpin on Ling'e's head gently shattered. Li Changshou's figure appeared beside Ling'e. He quickly put away the paper effigy that was in the soil and laid down again. He closed his eyes and pretended to faint.

He was trying to recall if he had missed anything in the process.

If he predicted correctly, a bunch of unsolved mysteries would appear in the Immortal Du Sect.

During the battle at the Immortal Du Sect, there were a few "heroes" who had sacrificed themselves and protected the human Daoists…

During the battle between the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect and an old Daoist priest who was a Heaven Immortal, another old Daoist priest who was "passing by" killed that old Daoist priest, and left calmly.

The only hidden danger was that Elder Wan Linyun might have guessed something.

Another danger would be the fact that Youqin Xuanya knew too much.

Later on, I will have to talk to Elder Wan Linyun about life and philosophy.

Li Changshou was actually in a very good mood.

It was not because he had killed that old Heaven Immortal and obtained a sword that was at the level of a Postnatal numinous treasure, as well as the precious Poison-Repelling Pearl.

It was not because he had supported the Immortal Du Sect, which had almost collapsed. He was only doing his best. It was because he found out that the Immortal Du Sect really had a founder who was alive.

Wasn't that thunderous groan the mystical ability that the Heng-Ha Generals used during the God-Conferment Tribulation?

Perfected Du'e seems to be General Heng's master or something.

After the major calamity, the Immortal Du Sect was proven to be a faction of the Ren School. No matter how incompetent the disciples may be or how weak their Dao may be in the future, they would still be true disciples of Ren School.

They suddenly had a stronger base.

Unfortunately, we did not manage to summon the legendary Great Daoist Master Xuandu this time. If Xuandu, the head disciple of the Ren School appeared personally, the effect would definitely be better.

Perhaps the Immortal Du Sect could move from the East Continent to the Middle Continent…

However, I might have been targeted by Daoist Wen this time.

For some reason, the joy in Li Changshou's heart dissipated, and he felt a strong sense of danger.

How could he avoid being targeted by the Western Sect?

At the thought of that, Li Changshou could not help but recall the village on the coast of the South Ocean, which made his heart race.

Lately, I've been busy dealing with the enemy and did not check the situation in the South Ocean.

Li Changshou, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious, felt his face twitch.

At this moment, his merit from incense offerings was actually… doubled from the amount he had two years ago!

What the hell?

Is the Xiong Village trying to gain wealth by promoting the South Ocean Sect?

Li Changshou secretly sensed it and he almost fainted.

1,621 statues…

More than statues of him were rising…

Moreover, he could vaguely sense that a large-scale fight had begun because the South Ocean Sect had a conflict with the smaller Merit-Convergence Sect.

What kind of rhythm is this…

Li Changshou's mouth twitched. He did not know what to say. He could only lie there and pretend to be dead.

Come to think of it, if his disciples were to engage in a fierce battle, would they cause a deficit in his karma or luck?

Uh…

Sect? Bullshit!

From now on, I don't know anything about the Sea God of the South Ocean!

I should probably think of a way to get plastic surgery. After returning to the mountain, I should get a few of the witches' curses tattooed on my body.

Although I can be considered to have cozied up to Perfected Du'e, I still don't have that much support yet.

At this moment, I can only hope for Master to enter the Perfected Immortal Realm earlier and work in the Heavenly Courts. Then, I can trick him into going to the Tushita Palace to visit the Grand Supreme Elder and gain more backing

Daoist Wen.

South Ocean Sect.

Li Changshou laid on the ground, feeling a little helpless and speechless. The exhaustion that he had felt from controlling the paper effigy slowly overwhelmed him, but he got rid of it quietly again.

It's not the time to rest now.

At this moment, I have the highest tendency of letting my guard down and becoming careless. I'm also the most prone to getting caught off-guard.

Li Changshou observed his surroundings quietly. After waiting for an hour, a figure flew out from the cave and hurried over.

He had been secretly observing the disciples. The three elders who were in charge of the external affairs of Hundred Mortal Hall rushed to the demonic roc's side and killed it while it was unconscious.

A group of disciples surrounded them. The Essence Immortal from Pill Tripod Peak gave a detailed diagnosis for the five of them. He only said that they had passed out because they had been drugged, and that they were fine.

The broken porcelain bottle and the remnants of the shattered pills were quickly discovered by them.

There was no need for the five of them to speak up after they regained consciousness. Everyone had already guessed what had happened there… An elder picked up Li Changshou, Lan Ling'e, and Youqin Xuanya using his immortal power. They were carefully placed in a desolate mountain forest to rest.

Before that group of disciples rushed out of the cave, there was already news from the sect.

The founder, Perfected Du'e, had appeared and killed three Golden Immortals. The Sect Leader and Elder Qi Ling immediately dealt with their enemies.

The Immortal Du Sect had engaged in a bloody battle. The sect was intact and unscathed but the elders of the various peaks were injured…

To most of them, the calamity struck without reason and ended quickly.

To a certain pretty boy who knew the entire plot… the matter was very complicated and emotionally-exhausting.

A few hours later, Exalted Wang Qing, Elder Wan Linyun, and more than a hundred Perfected Immortals from the sect rushed over.

Li Changshou, who was pretending to be unconscious, suddenly heard a familiar voice.

The person exclaimed, "Little Changshou! Little Ling'e! Don't scare me. Why are you guys lying down!?!"

On the cloud, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, who was sitting on the huge wine gourd, jumped down and rushed to the side of the forest in a hurry. The elders of Hundred Mortal Hall who were at the side quickly explained that they were only knocked out by the incapacitating agents and that they were not in any trouble.

Jiu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and sat beside Ling'e. Her short linen shirt swayed slightly.

At that moment, she did not have much immortal power left. There were wounds on her left shoulder and waist. Even her essence soul was a little weak.

She had also given her all during the battle to protect the Immortal Sect. After the battle, she did not have time to rest and immediately rushed there to look for the disciples whom she cared about.

Soon, Jiang Jingshan, Jiu Wu, and Jiu Shi rushed over too.

They carried the unconscious Li Changshou and the other two using their immortal powers and brought them back to the sect.

The two elders who were Perfected Immortals woke up after being unconscious for an entire day.

Youqin Xuanya slept for seven whole days before she woke up.

In order to make his actions seem more reasonable, Li Changshou forced himself to lie on the bed with his eyes closed. He remained motionless for seven and a half days before slowly opening his eyes. His eyes were filled with confusion…

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted with a bed that he was unfamiliar with.

Li Changshou naturally knew that he and his junior sister had been brought to the Heaven-Breaking Peak and that he was currently lying on Jiu Jiu's bed.

Ling'e was arranged to stay in Jiu Shi's attic. She had been sleeping soundly without anyone disturbing her.

In the past seven days, Jiu Jiu was often encouraged by Jiu Shi to constantly poke and touch Li Changshou.

However, Li Changshou did not bother about it because they'd never touched him in inappropriate places.

He turned around to see Jiu Jiu sitting on the ground and leaning against the bed. There were two empty bottles beside her, and she was snoring softly. Who takes care of a patient like the way you do?

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He slowly sat up and looked around. He would probably remember for life, the first time he was carried to that pavilion by his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, and the first time he captured everything in there with his immortal senses.

It was beyond chaotic…

Just as he was about to stand up, a silver-white arrow flew in from outside the window. Li Changshou immediately raised his hand and stopped the messenger arrow from reaching the window.

An unfamiliar voice sounded.

"Li Changshou, disciple of the Little Qiong Peak!"

Li Changshou stood up and cupped his hands. "I'm here."

"Come to the Immortal Ascension Hall quickly. The Sect Leader has been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Changshou frowned subconsciously and said softly, "Roger."

Sect Leader?

Could it be that the Sect Leader had seen through the good deeds that I've done and the facade that I put up previously?

It doesn't make sense. After I returned, I had been keeping an eye on Elder Wan Linyun using my immortal senses. I had also noticed the people in the sect burning incense and making offerings to the nameless heroes…

All the signs show that no one would suspect me.

No matter what, I cannot avoid the Sect Leader's summon.

Li Changshou stood up and tidied his Daoist robe. He lowered his head and placed two bottles of "pleasant-tasting" Spirit Pills beside his Little Aunt-Master's hand. Then, he looked at Ling'e, who was sleeping soundly and hurried to the Immortal Du Hall.

As soon as Li Changshou left for the Immortal Du Hall, the bag hanging on Ling'e's waist started to twist.

However, Lan Ling'e's cultivation level was too low, and she was still in a deep sleep. She did not sense anything strange about the beast-hide bag at all…

Report chapter

Chapter 98 I'll Treat Your Disciple Well

Did I really expose my cultivation level?

When Li Changshou flew towards the Immortal Du Hall on a cloud, he kept thinking about that problem.

Now, because of the matter regarding the South Ocean Sect and the fact that he might have been careless and faced Daoist Wen head-on for a while…

The cultivation level that I had hidden is no longer as simple as a trump card.

This directly concerns my life!

Li Changshou had put in a lot of effort into learning the "unorthodox" 'Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra'.

In the beginning, he had analyzed all kinds of cultivation techniques and summed them up in reverse. He had also made a summary of the various techniques of hiding one's aura, that existed in the Immortal Du Sect. He had also figured out a way to hide his aura…

Before he transcended the tribulation, that technique had already been improved dozens of times. After Li Changshou became an immortal, that technique was upgraded to the same level as the escape technique!

However, Li Changshou felt a little uncertain about facing a Golden Immortal who had been living for an unknown amount of time…

I can only have two strings to my bow. If the Sect Leader is testing me on purpose, I can use the third backup plan.

The so-called backup plan was to prove his innocence immediately.

He would immediately prove that he was not a spy of the enemy or an otherworldly demon and that he was a true disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. However, due to coincidences, his cultivation speed was a little faster. Thus, he had accidentally advanced during the Tribulation Transcendence… He landed in front of the magnificent hall and looked at it.

Li Changshou calmed himself down, retracted his immortal senses, and stabilized his aura at the eighth-stage of the Void Return realm. He then entered.

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard a faint voice transmission.

"Ahem, ahem… Li Changshou, the disciple from Little Qiong Peak? Don't say anything. Just nod."

Li Changshou nodded gently and remained composed.

The voice transmission continued, "Come to the left. There's a small door at the corner of the hall. Come in. Don't be nervous. I am the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect. I called you over because I wanted to tell you about something trivial."

Coughs*

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Let's not talk about the rest first. Why does the Sect Leader sound so sick in the voice transmission?

Li Changshou lowered his head and walked quickly to the somewhat empty main hall of the sect. He headed towards the left corner of the main hall and soon arrived in front of the two wooden doors.

He stood there for a while. When he heard the Sect Master's voice again, he gently pushed open the wooden door…

There was a simple and elegant tea room inside. There were a few tables and chairs, and two open windows which revealed the beautiful scenery of Cloud Peak Island.

Li Changshou was not in the mood to appreciate those things. He raised his head and looked at the young Daoist who was seated in front of the window.

He was the Sect Leader and the in-name disciple of the in-name disciple of the Grand Pure One…

His name was Ji Wuyou.

His face was like a jade crown, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was handsome and suave. There was no need to mention too much about his appearance.

Normally, a male Qi Refinement cultivator who maintained the appearance of a middle-aged or young man would not be too ugly if it were not for his or his Dao companion's special preferences.

The Sect Leader's smile was gentle, and his temperament was elegant. He gave off a gentle and elegant vibe… However, that was not the point.

The point was…

The Golden Immortal Sect Leader's face was pale, his aura was weak, and his eyes were out of focus. Although he was tall and taut, he seemed a little haggard and weak.

If he did not know that the Sect Leader Ji Wuyou's Dao name was 'Wuyou', and was known as 'Sect Leader Wuyou' in the East Continent, Li Changshou would have given him a nickname in his head- 'Empty Young Master of the Primordial World'.

When the Sect Leader saw Li Changshou, he smiled. A streak of immortal blood actually flowed from the corner of his mouth…

Li Changshou was shocked as well. "Sect Leader!"

"It's just a small problem. There's no need to worry. I've just suffered some injuries to my Essence Soul. I've already consumed some Spirit Pills with healing purposes."

The Sect Leader Ji Wuyou wiped the corners of his mouth before taking a deep breath gently. He stabilized his injuries and said, "I will be able to recover from this minor injury in a while. You're Changshou, right? Take this… I've been waiting for you for a few days just to give this to you."

This Sect Leader Ji Wuyou took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and gently pushed it towards Li Changshou. Li Changshou lowered his head and held it with both hands.

At that moment, Li Changshou felt rather emotional.

My Sect Leader has sustained so many injuries for the sake of protecting the Immortal Du Sect! Yet, I previously commented that the Sect Leader's mystical abilities are too weak, and said that he wasn't competent enough. I really… Li Changshou sighed.

Li Changshou felt ashamed. He felt grateful towards the Sect Leader who was desperately protecting the sect.

"Sect Leader, you are injured. Please go into seclusion soon to recuperate. It has been hard on you. You fought against the demons from outside in order to protect the sect."

"It's just a trivial matter."

Ji Wuyou laughed, looking a little awkward. He sighed and said, "Actually, a few days ago, I obtained a mystical ability from the founder of the sect, which allows me to nurture Connate Qi… I have been trying to cultivate these few days but I was too anxious and accidentally injured my Essence Soul. Haha…"

Ji Wuyou coughed.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

"Changshou."

Ji Wuyou calmly wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the porcelain bottle in Li Changshou's hand. His gaze was slightly hesitant, but he still spoke tactfully.

"The thing in your hand must be kept properly. Do you know that the Immortal Du Sect's founder who is also my Master, is Perfected Du'e who belongs to the Ren School and is the Pure Virtue Immortal God of the Kunlun Mountain?"

He continued, "This porcelain bottle is from a senior of the Ren School. He entrusted the founder *cough*… to pass it to you. He claimed that he wants to sever some karma with you. I can't say much about this. However, this is also your fate. The Spirit Pills inside must be used properly." Do you understand?"

Li Changshou was suddenly enlightened. He lowered his head and said, "I understand."

"Go. Just remember this. Your cultivation level and aptitude are not bad. When you transcend the tribulation and become an immortal, you can cultivate in peace in the sect."

Ji Wuyou waved his hand. Li Changshou bowed and accepted the order before leaving the house.

Before he could close the door completely, Li Changshou heard some violent coughing and puffing which seemed to be the sound of blood spurting out…

The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched. He closed the wooden doors and pretended not to hear anything. Then, he turned around and walked towards the door.

The Sect Leader's last sentence was actually to calm him down.

Every 200 years, the Immortal Du Sect would recruit a batch of disciples. Before they recruited the next batch of disciples, they would give them a choice. They could either continue to stay in the sect or go out to cultivate and explore the outside world.

What the sect leader meant was—as long as Li Changshou cultivated in peace and survived the Immortal Ascension Tribulation in the future, the treatment he received in the sect would not be too poor. After leaving the hall, Li Changshou felt much more at ease.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

His cultivation level was not exposed. As the Sect Leader of the sect, Ji Wuyou paid special attention to Li Changshou, a disciple of Little Qiong Peak, only because of the porcelain bottle in his hand.

If he had guessed correctly, the bottle was given by the Great Daoist Master Xuandu.

The karma that he wanted to sever was related to the matter that Elder Moon had looked him up for previously.

Um…

What did Master Xuandu and Elder Yue do to my marriage affinity clay figurines?

Li Changshou looked at the Spirit Pills in the porcelain bottle. Putting the quality of the spirit pills aside, the porcelain bottle itself was not an ordinary Dharma artifact. Apart from preserving the medicinal properties of the pills, it could also stabilize the pills and prevent clashes between medicinal properties.

After analyzing the effects of the Level-6 Spirit Pills in his head, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Nurtures the essence soul to strengthen the foundation, stabilizes the Essence Soul, strengthens the Connate Yang… I can tell that this Head Disciple of Ren School has rather impressive alchemy skills. After all, not everyone can take out a Yang-Refining Level-6 Spirit Pill.

This pill…

I'll let Master use it.

After all, it's a Level-6 Spirit Pill. It can be used to strengthen the Connate Yang and stabilize one's Essence Soul. It will be very helpful to master, who is a Turbid Immortal.

However, the pill will eventually have an irrepressible effect on the bodies of male Qi Refinement cultivators. Should I persuade Master to find a wife?

If it's just for the pill, there would be no need for it.

Why don't I use this pill as a congratulatory gift for Master when he finds his Dao companion?

Li Changshou smiled and kept the porcelain bottle.

Li Changshou slowly released his immortal senses after he was a distance away from the Immortal Du Hall.

His junior sister was still sleeping soundly at Aunt-Master Jiu Shi's place. However, the bag tied around her waist was constantly wriggling… Master is awake?

Li Changshou hurriedly drove over on a cloud.

He had long thought of an explanation he could give to his master. On the way, Li Changshou passed by the Hundred Mortal Hall and glanced at it.

Under the shade of a tree, two stone tablets were erected. On one of the tablets, there were words that described the calamity that suddenly struck the Immortal Du Sect, the battle fought by the sect the process of the protection of the sect.

On the other stone tablet were the names of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect who had died in that battle…

The stability of a sect was actually dependent on the Qi Refinement cultivators in the sect who had to protect and maintain it.

They naturally had to protect their own nest.

However, Li Changshou soon saw another corner of the square opposite the two stone tablets…

There were three stone sculptures that had just been placed on the ground.

On the left was a petite and beautiful female immortal. In the middle of the room was a sword-bearing male immortal. On the right was a burly man who was carrying a huge ax and laughing with his mouth wide open.

Those three stone sculptures were quite magical. The creator of the stone sculptures accurately captured every paper Daoist's "divine marrow".

There were two vertical plaques on both sides of the three stone sculptures. On them were written:

"The heroes of the human race."

"Immortal Du Sect has eternal respect for them."

There were three incense sticks that were inserted in a small incense burner in front.

Li Changshou could not help but rub the spot in the middle of his forehead. He pretended not to see it and rushed to his junior sister's side.

The Immortal Du Sect was investigating the origin of the Blood Mosquito Puppets and the followers of the few "Righteous Fellow Daoists".

The reason for investigating the former was naturally to seek revenge.

The reason for investigating the latter was to make up to the three fellow Daoists by giving their friends and family some benefits.

Li Changshou felt that it would be better to keep the matter a secret and let the Immortal Du Sect search aimlessly, instead of revealing the information he knew, to the Immortal Du Sect.

And those righteous heroes…

Li Changshou immediately got an idea.

Should I get a few paper effigies to mourn and indirectly get some precious treasures and Spirit Stones from the sect?

Li Changshou smiled and dispelled that thought…

The battle allowed him to clearly understand the function of the array formation. He had also made further plans.

The Little Qiong Peak's array formation could continuously be strengthened and driven deeper. The inner array foundations could be combined into a single array formation and he could refine Little Qiong Peak into a huge mobile array foundation.

Immortals with high cultivation levels could refine their Cave Abodes into Dharma treasures. They could be of any size the immortals preferred.

Once my cultivation level is higher, I can do that too.

If I encounter another disaster that threatens the entire sect…

I can sacrifice Little Qiong Peak to kill powerful enemies.

If I choose to retreat, I can directly put Little Qiong Peak into my sleeve and escape to a spot that was 50,000 kilometers away.

However, that would require vast amounts of precious materials and long-term preparations.

I don't lack time now. I still have to do what I need to do.

Li Changshou made up his mind. He realized that he was already near the land of the Jiu immortals. He calmed his mind and lowered his head.

He had to wake his junior sister up first and return to the Little Qiong Peak together. He had to comfort his master before anything else.

What can I do for Disciple-Niece Han Zhi now?

Beside the Treasure Pool on Golden Ao Island.

Ao Yi, who looked like a delicate young man, looked at Han Zhi, who was secretly hurt. His gaze was filled with melancholy.

Senior Brother Yuan Ze had been schemed against and controlled by someone who made him do something ridiculous. A few days ago, he was sent back to Golden Ao Island by the Eldest Senior Brother of Ren School.

A few experts from Jie School pleaded for mercy in front of the Eldest Senior Brother from Ren School. In the end, Senior Brother Yuan Ze's remnant soul was exonerated and allowed to reincarnate. He no longer has anything to do with Jie School…

Ao Yi could not help but make up his mind when he recalled how his Senior Brother Yuan Ze had taken care of him.

I will treat your disciple well.

"Han Zhi…"

Just as Ao Yi was about to say something when his immortal senses suddenly discovered two old Daoists who were flying towards him from outside the Golden Ao Island.

He immediately perked up and quickly said, "The two Senior Brothers who sent Senior Brother Yuan Ze's soul to the underworld are back!"

Han Zhi looked up and her eyes turned red again. She hurriedly rode a cloud and went up in a bid to ask her master how he was doing in the Netherworld…

A moment later, the two old Daoists were stopped by Ao Yi and Han Zhixian. Both of them frowned and did not know what to say.

Ao Yi quickly asked, "Senior Brothers, is there something wrong?"

"Well…"

"Ah, it should have been fine. It should have been fine!"

The old Daoist priest on the left sighed and said in a low voice, "On account of the Jie School, the immortals of the underworld will not make things too hard for him."

"However, according to the rules set by the Sage, we cannot interfere with the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Therefore, the immortals of the underworld can only guarantee that they will arrange for Junior Brother Yuan Ze to be reincarnated as a person with a good fortune. He will no longer have any ties with this life. However, unexpectedly…".

The old Daoist priest on the right looked up and sighed. "Before Junior Brother Yuan Ze drank Meng Po's soup, that wisp of soul spoke again!"

"W-What…"

Han Zhi asked in a trembling voice, "What did my master say?"

"He said, don't worry. There shouldn't be any problems with a trivial matter like reincarnation."

Han Zhi could not help but hold her forehead with one hand, feeling dizzy…

Ao Yi quickly asked, "What happened?"

"He has passed the Bridge of Helplessness and drank Meng Po's soup. He's arrived in front of a few paths. However, for some reason, there was a wave in the River of Forgetfulness that appeared and sent his soul to the path to becoming beasts. We couldn't save him either. His soul was absorbed by the Reincarnation Wheel. We have also asked around about the rest of the matters. Junior Brother Yuan Ze seems to have reincarnated as a demon. In his next life, he should be a black-skinned leopard." "Master…"

When Han Zhi heard those words, she was overwhelmed with grief. Her essence soul was in turmoil and her mind was declining. Her body was on the verge of collapsing and she was quickly supported by Ao Yi.

Chapter 99 The Fear of the "Wild" God

On the Heaven-Breaking Peak, in the residence of the Nine Jiu Immortals.

Li Changshou returned from the Immortal Du Hall. He did not see Jiu Wu and Jiu Shi, nor did he see any other Jiu Immortals.

They had gone to the various parts of the sect to get busy.

Little Aunt-Master was still drunk and sleeping soundly beside the bed. Li Changshou did not disturb her.

Should I carry Little Aunt-Master onto the bed?

He would naturally not do something that could easily be misunderstood.

That was not all. Li Changshou had also studied the surroundings of his Aunt-Master's pavilion for a while. Soon, he understood the principles behind the protective array formation.

Li Changshou connected the array foundation of the array formation there and the array formation around her pavilion to protect her uninhibited appearance while she was sleeping…

The array formation in this place was obviously set up by Uncle-Master Jiu Wu because it was in the style of a "short Daoist".

Then, Li Changshou found a disciple who was in charge of performing miscellaneous tasks, and took two bottles of Soul Formation Pills from him.

some

After some small talk, Li Changshou told him to tell Jiu Jiu that he and Ling'e had already returned to the Little Qiong Peak, after she woke up. After that, Li Changshou brought Ling'e along and let her lie on the cloud while he flew at a height that he was most familiar with towards Little Qiong Peak.

To be honest, the presence of Little Qiong Peak was really too insignificant.

Although Li Changshou was very satisfied with that… no one from the Immortal Sect dropped by to ask about him! That made the detailed things that Li Changshou had prepared completely useless!

Of course, it was a good thing that he could not use them…

Fortunately, Li Changshou did not see his master's name on the stone tablet of the Hundred Mortal Hall, which had just been erected to commemorate the deceased "martyrs". Otherwise, he would not know how to explain it to his master.

No matter how long the three statues of the paper effigies had been worshiped, nothing else should have happened.

The "memorial" was purely a form of commemoration. There would be no merit gained from burning incense…

Upon returning to the straw hut, Li Changshou woke Ling'e up first.

After discussing for a while, the two of them decided to act according to the first plan that they had drawn up previously to "calm their master down".

Li Changshou laid back on his bed. His lips were dry and his eyes were out of focus. There was a hint of longing in his eyes.

Lan Ling'e ran to her master's straw hut and knelt on the meditation cushion, before… releasing him.

"Who had the audacity to plot against me!?!

Look at my Dharma treasures!"

Qi Yuan jumped out of the pocket, raised his horsetail whisk, and looked around angrily. He lowered his head and saw his little disciple kneeling on the ground.

Ling'e's eyes reddened as she bit her lip gently. She secretly pinched her thigh and used some of her true cultivation level.

"Master…"

Qi Yuan was stunned. Then, he recalled that he had been drugged by two of his disciples.

Qi Yuan scanned his surroundings using his immortal senses and saw his eldest disciple lying in the straw hut next door.

He asked, "Ling'e, what's wrong with you? What happened to your Senior Brother!?!"

"Master, a large number of demons invaded the sect previously. Senior Brother was worried that you would rush up to fight the demons and hence, he took you and me away… During the battle, Senior Brother…"

Before Ling'e could finish speaking, Qi Yuan rushed over to Li Changshou's bedside.

Qi Yuan looked at his heavily injured disciple and was filled with deep regret. He quickly took out numerous bottles of medicine, but he did not know which type of medicine to use. Li Changshou opened his eyes and said softly, "Master."

"Yes, I'm here!" Qi Yuan replied in a trembling voice. "I'm here. If you have something to say, just say it." "I'm fine." Li Changshou said in a hoarse voice and sighed faintly. "Master, I've bewitched you previously…"

"It's not an issue. It's not an issue. You were just sparing a thought for me. How can I not understand?"

Qi Yuan sat on the side of the bed and grabbed Li Changshou's wrist before checking it carefully.

The old Daoist priest's expression changed instantly. The immortal power in his eldest disciple's body was much purer and clearer than his own. It was indeed the immortal power of the Essence Immortal realm.

However, those immortal powers were rather insignificant to Qi Yuan's senses.

At that moment, Li Changshou's aura was extremely chaotic. His heart was ricocheting like a drum. Upon closer inspection, Qi Yuan discovered that it was actually… very rhythmic like musical percussion!

Li Changshou forced a smile and said, "Master, I'm fine. You don't have to worry."

Qi Yuan's eyes were filled with guilt. He sighed and said, "Ah, I was incompetent. I couldn't protect you and Ling'e. I even made you and Ling'e work so hard."

"Master, I was the one who drugged you and caused you to faint. Otherwise, you'd definitely be able to…" *Coughs* Qi Yuan quickly said, "That's just a trivial matter. I don't blame you. I don't blame you."

Li Changshou coughed weakly and smiled bitterly. "Master, that's just a verbal statement with no proof. I really feel guilty from the bottom of my heart."

"I… Yes, I swear that I will not blame you this time!"

"Master, what do you swear to?" "To the Great Dao, of course…"

"Master, if you don't chant the 'Gratitude Incantation', the Great Dao will not detect it."

"Alright, I will do that! Eh?"

Qi Yuan was stunned. He looked at Li Changshou who was lying on the bed.

The latter's eyes were half-closed, and he was barely breathing. He coughed weakly again. The old Daoist priest looked at Ling'e, who was hiding outside the straw hut, and his immortal senses circled around the Little Qiong Peak. He immediately recovered from the shock.

Qi Yuan said coldly, "Changshou, your Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra doesn't seem to only conceal your cultivation level."

"Master, I…"

"Psht!"

Suddenly, a noise could be heard from outside the door. After trying hard to hold it in, she could not help but laugh.

Qi Yuan was speechless.

Li Changshou coughed and sat up silently. He smiled sincerely at his master.

"Master, I'm really fine."

"You bastard!"

Qi Yuan picked up his horsetail whisk and hit Li Changshou with it. Li Changshou took the chance to escape, but when he was at the door, he was hugged by Ling'e who suddenly pounced on him!

"Senior Brother, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ling'e squinted and smiled. She quickly yelled at Qi Yuan who was inside, "Master, I've caught Senior Brother! Senior Brother forced me to do all of those things! Master, I've always said that you can do your part as a cultivator of the Immortal Du Sect by going out to kill enemies. However Senior Brother said that you will only fight with the higher-ups when you go to the arena without using any strategies!"

Li Changshou glared at Ling'e. Qi Yuan had already rushed over from behind. He raised his horsetail whisk and shouted loudly. He then used it to whip Li Changshou on his back.

If Li Changshou really wanted to run, he would naturally be able to escape.

At this moment, he was just giving his master an out and a chance to vent his anger.

He heard a few slapping sounds, and the familiar part of his body was red and swollen again…

Li Changshou was having a hard time too.

When his master hit him with the horsetail whisk, he tried his best to suppress the immortal power in his body while retaliating against his master, lest anything happened to him.

A few moments later…

Li Changshou and Ling'e knelt neatly in front of their master.

Qi Yuan sat on the round chair and frowned as he listened to Li Changshou speak.

His initial anger turned into confusion, followed by a moment of realization. Qi Yuan's expression changed several times throughout the process.

After Li Changshou finished speaking, Qi Yuan muttered, "Is that the reason?"

For a moment… he felt that something was amiss, but he could not put a finger on it.

"Master, that's true." Li Changshou and Ling'e nodded in unison. Qi Yuan was deep in thought.

Ling'e, who was at the side, pursed her lips secretly. However, she completely understood that she definitely could not give her Senior Brother a chance to speak, given the situation that they were in!

Otherwise, his senior brother would really be able to twist the facts!

It was clearly them who had sneaked an attack on their master. However, their master actually felt that he should have been bewitched…

He thought that that way, they would be able to avoid the possibility of a flaw appearing in their battle formation and causing all their efforts to go in vain because of a single person. Qi Yuan sighed. He quickly followed Li Changshou's instructions and flew into the Hundred Mortal Hall.

As the Peak Leader of Little Qiong Peak, he had to show up and ask if there was anything he could do…

As soon as her master left, Ling'e felt a chill down her spine. She could not help but shiver.

"Senior, Senior Brother…"

"Junior Sister." Li Changshou's smile was very friendly and gentle. "You've become full-fledged and disobedient, huh?" Ling'e cringed, giggled, and whispered, "It's all because of your teachings, Senior Brother. You taught me that it's better to let one person get in trouble rather than two… Senior Brother, I was wrong!"

"Hmph!"

Li Changshou slowly stood up while supporting his buttocks with his hand. He circulated his immortal power and dissipated the external wounds that his master had just inflicted.

"Senior Brother, should I help you apply some medicine?"

"Forget it…"

Li Changshou was just about to tease Ling'e and take revenge on her when he felt a sudden urge. He could not help but frown.

Li Changshou hid his right hand in his sleeve and pinched his fingers to make some calculations. His frown deepened.

This time, it was not that something had happened to Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. He did not give Uncle-Master Jiu Wu any of those "little trinkets" either.

Li Changshou somehow felt a sudden sense of danger…

He glanced at Ling'e and said, "Ling'e, go outside and play. I need to meditate and think about something."

"Oh." Lingle could tell that her senior brother seemed to have some serious matters to attend to. Although she was a little dissatisfied with the word 'play', she still responded obediently and quickly left Li Changshou's straw hut.

Li Changshou activated the surrounding array formations and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion. He began trying to detect something with his senses and made some deductions.

Something happened…

Something happened at the South Ocean Sea God Sect.

A statue of his had been smashed.

Li Changshou was delighted at first. After all, if that was the case, one of his 1,600 statues would be successfully removed.

However, he could not smile at all afterwards…

In the small temple in the village where people worshiped him, two groups of mortals were slashing the people around them with their knives, and blood was splashing everywhere.

It was a battle between sects. Li Changshou had already sensed it beforehand. He did not expect that things would become increasingly intense and that such a huge commotion would break out. There were already mortals who had begun to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for the Sea God of the South Ocean…

However, Li Changshou soon realized that a wisp of black aura was wrapped around his Essence Soul and tied to his wrist.

It seemed to be… negative karma!

Li Changshou hurriedly took out a wisp of the incense merit he had been hiding and approached the black aura. The two intertwined and gradually disappeared.

Merit and negative karma.

"What is this?"

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry as he remained seated. Soon, he began to think carefully.

The merits of incense offerings actually came from "protecting" and "enlightening" mortals.

To a certain extent, the existence of the South Ocean Sea God Sect had made the villages in the small region unite and assist each other. That was beneficial to the stability of the world.

In addition, people everywhere had been continuously worshiping him and offering incense. That was equivalent to the Heavenly Dao acknowledging him, an "illegitimate" god.

He was forcibly accepted because of all the people who worshiped him.

At that moment, the negative karma was caused by the conflict between the sects that led to the lethal fight in the mortal world. A portion of the karma that resulted from the deaths and injuries turned into negative karma which found its way to Li Changshou…

"This matter has to be resolved."

Li Changshou remained seated while being in deep thought.

He now had a paper effigy which could barely be considered an "introductory-level" avatar of him. As long as he could borrow some Dharma treasures that could allow him to fly through the sky and burrow into the ground, he could save on immortal powers and rush to the South Ocean.

What should I do to destroy my Sea God Sect? Instead of earning these merits from incense offerings, I'd rather earn some merit in the Heavenly Courts. That merit would be pure and comfortable.

I wouldn't be in this predicament, where I'm at risk of being redressed by the Western Sect at any time.

Now that I'm thinking about it carefully, I'm an "illegitimate god" who's being worshiped. Yet, I want to destroy my own sect. I'm one of a kind. "Yes, I have to make careful arrangements."

Li Changshou took a deep breath and began to think carefully.

I must really scare those villagers of Xiong Village who are dedicated to accumulating their wealth!

A few days later, at the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

Jiu Jiu, who had just woken up, stood in front of the wooden door that was pushed open. She performed a few spells consecutively, but there was no reaction from the walls of the array formation outside.

Huh?

Jiu Jiu turned around to look inside the house. As the room was too clean, she was not used to it.

Is this… really my room? Jiu Jiu frowned and realized that things were not that simple.

On the Golden Ao Island.

"Han Zhi, you can't go on like this."

Ao Yi looked at the haggard-looking girl and said softly, "Why don't I accompany you to walk around? If you find the scenery of the East Ocean boring, shall we go to the West and South Oceans? There is beautiful scenery everywhere in the four seas. You really can't continue being so depressed."

Han Zhi sighed and smiled bitterly. "My master actually…"

Me "Actually, that's not a bad thing," said Ao Yi. "After Senior Brother Yuan Ze reincarnates, he will definitely be able to cultivate.

So what if he becomes a demon?

He's just going to lack some luck and fortune. He can transform and continue pursuing the Great Dao.

Besides, think about it…"

Ao Yi pondered for a moment and rolled his eyes before continuing, "After Senior Brother Yuan Ze reincarnates, he will definitely be unable to speak for a long time. Doesn't that mean he won't be able to get into trouble?"

Han Zhi blinked and exclaimed, "That's true!"

As Ao Yi continued to persuade her, Han Zhi's mood gradually changed for the better.

She sighed softly and said gently, "In that case, let's go out for a walk. I want to relax too. Thank you Uncle-Master, for keeping me company."

"It's my duty to do so." Ao Yi smiled.

I will definitely take good care of you for your master!

Not long after, the two figures flew out of Golden Ao Island. They chose a random direction and moved out slowly.

Chapter 100 A Man Should Treat Himself…

"Why is the array formation that Fifth Senior Brother set for me not working?"

Sitting on the large gourd, Jiu Jiu put a hand on her forehead and chewed on the Spirit Pills, which were extremely chewy and did not stick to her teeth. They were able to strengthen her spirit and stabilize her essence soul. She drifted along and before she knew it, she had already arrived above Little Qiong Peak.

Jiu Jiu felt a little dizzy…

She did not know why the protective array formation in her residence was acting up, but it suddenly stopped.

Jiu Jiu tried a few times but failed. She definitely could not spoil it!

As a cultivator who was at the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm, she had her own unique method to break the array formation although she did not know the Dao of array formations.

She used her immortal power to protect her body. When she hit it with her head, it was instantly broken.

Jiu Jiu then repaired the array foundation buried under the house based on her experience of working hard on the Little Qiong Peak all year round.

Therefore, none of the array formations in the attic, the defensive array formations, isolation array formations, soundproofing arrays, and spirit-gathering array formations… could be used anymore!

Jiu Jiu could not help but support her forehead with one hand. Array formations, alchemy, and refining artifacts, were too complicated for her.

She wanted to look for someone to help her with the array formations, but she realized… that her Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother had gone out with their master. They used the corpses that were left behind that day to investigate the enemy's background.

Her Third Senior Sister had gone to accompany her Dao companion, and so did her Eighth Senior Brother. He was busy managing the funerals of his fellow cultivators of other peaks who had died in battle.

Her Fourth Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Brother, who were closest to her, had also gone out together with the elders of the Hundred Mortal Hall to purchase some treasures for the foundations of the mountain-protecting array formations.

Her Sixth Senior Sister and Seventh Senior Brother were in seclusion and healing each other. It was said that they had some kind of mysterious technique that could help each other improve at the same time…

Thinking about that, Jiu Jiu snickered and sat on the large gourd. She entered the array formation of Little Qiong Peak and floated downwards.

She did not go there purely to look for wine. Instead, she had something important to do.

I'll ask Changshou to help me settle the array formations around my pavilion!

Jiu Jiu summarized her experience of failing to repair the array formations. She felt that it was probably because she had lacked Li Changshou's nagging… After entering the isolation array outside Little Qiong Peak, Jiu Jiu could not help but smile in satisfaction.

She saw Ling'e, who was meditating under the tree, Li Changshou who was refining pills in the Pill Chamber, and her Senior Brother Qi Yuan, who had disappeared previously.

Little Qiong Peak did not seem to have experienced the calamity that struck earlier on. It was as peaceful and tranquil as before, and there was an interesting ambiance.

Jiu Jiu did not disturb Ling'e, who was cultivating. She flew straight to the Pill Chamber and the array formation in front of her closed automatically. She discovered on the way… that for some reason, there were some empty patches in the forest near the Pill Chamber, and there were a few new ponds.

Was he up to something related to Feng Shui?

Jiu Jiu blinked and did not bother any more.

Li Changshou naturally discovered Jiu Jiu's presence long ago.

He stood in front of the Pill Chamber and secretly stopped the paper effigies that he had just sent to run errands and settle things once and for all in the South Ocean yesterday, in an inconspicuous spot in a corner of the East Continent.

He left a wisp of his mind to monitor the surroundings. Most of his mind returned to his original body, and he smiled at his Little Aunt-Master who was flying in the sky.

After a while, Jiu Jiu hesitantly explained the reason for her arrival. She raised her hand to adjust the ends of her hair beside her ears.

"Can you help me once… I'll give you some remuneration."

"Little Aunt-Master, if you need anything, I will naturally do my best to help you."

Li Changshou smiled and said, "There's no need to mention any remunerations."

"This time, the sect suffered a calamity. I have understood a lot. In the future, if you don't have any wine to drink, you can come here to get some." Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up and she chuckled. "Tell me, do you want to cozy up to me?"

Li Changshou hurriedly shook his head and deliberately put on a stern expression.

"Aunt-Master, it's a little inappropriate of you to be cozying up to me. After all, there's a difference in seniority. Although seniority is not a big problem, I have always treated you as a respectable senior."

"I don't mean that. I mean backing, I mean, no…"

Jiu Jiu's face was blushing slightly. She put her hands behind her back and felt conflicted. Her clean face was a little rosy.

Li Changshou could not help but chuckle. Jiu Jiu immediately reacted and realized that she seemed to have been teased by her disciple-nephew.

She glared at Li Changshou and said fiercely, "Follow me! Repair the array formations! How dare you tease me? Are you itching for a beating? Hmph! I've always been helping you refine pills tirelessly. I must make you incredibly exhausted today!" Li Changshou cupped his hands and told Jiu Jiu to go back and that he would rush to the Heaven-Breaking Peak in an hour's time. That way, he could avoid being noticed by others while walking together with a Jiu Immortal. He could also arrange a suitable hiding place for the paper effigies that he had sent out.

Jiu Jiu did not think much about it. She went back to prepare some precious materials for repairing the array formations. She jumped onto the gourd and flew back to her own residence whilst in a good mood.

After Jiu Jiu left, Li Changshou stood in front of the Pill Chamber and pondered for a while before returning to the Pill Chamber to meditate.

He closed his eyes and shifted his mind to the paper effigies that he had sent out.

In order to resolve the problem regarding the South Ocean Sea God Sect as soon as possible, Li Changshou "challenged" himself and "took a risk" this time. He adjusted the paper effigies for a few days before asking his master to help him release the team of paper effigies.

This time, he sent several paper effigies to the South Ocean.

The new 'God' Paper Effigy No. 1, and the 'God' Paper Effigy No. 2 were the main vice-captains of the team.

The six 'Heaven' paper effigies were in charge of traveling, escaping, and fighting during critical moments. There were also numerous paper dolls with original mystical abilities.

The firepower that they carried were a miniature array disc, a poisoning Dharma artifact that he had developed himself, and poisonous pills that he did not use during the battle in the Immortal Du Sect. The poisonous pills were the main weapons.

The purpose of the operation was to use peaceful and obscure methods to cause the South Ocean Sea God Sect to collapse naturally in the shortest time possible, so as to allow him to escape from the unstable "bomb".

He controlled the 'Heaven' Paper Effigy No. 2, which was in charge of leading the paper dolls and paper effigies along the way. He used the Earth Escape technique to make the paper effigies more obscure. He left a wisp of his mental power on them and remained vigilant.

After doing all that from afar, Li Changshou sat quietly in the Pill Chamber for a while.

After calculating the time, he got up and changed into a clean robe. At the same time, he checked the various items on his body and thought about whether he had missed out anything during the preparation…

He did not dare to go to the South Ocean because he was worried that he would be ambushed by the people of the Western school and that they might be waiting for him.

However, a competition between sects had already begun.

Li Changshou had to go and stop them before the battle escalated to a massive scale.

After thinking about it, Li Changshou decided not to take back the paper effigies that he had sent out this time.

In order not to cause more trouble, Li Changshou focused on strengthening the paper effigies' "suicide" attributes during the past few days.

The paper effigies could "die" anytime and anywhere. They could also maintain the form that they had transformed into. They could burn themselves into ashes, lift themselves up and end everything!

As a man, he should be more ruthless to his paper doll!

Moreover, Li Changshou had also discovered that it might have been the ashes of a bunch of demon experts that had been buried in Little Qiong Peak…

The few old spiritual trees had shown new signs of life!

"Before the little tree grows up, I'll have to trouble you guys."

Li Changshou smiled and sat in front of the Pill Furnace, quietly pondering about his subsequent plans.

Merit and negative karma were very mysterious and closely related.

Although merit and negative karma could be offset, according to Li Changshou's understanding, negative karma was equivalent to poisonous pills.

Merit was equivalent to antidotes.

Even if he had prepared ten thousand antidote pills, he did not want to really consume one!

Even if the negative karma was offset by merit, there might be some marks left on his body.

Although he had transcended the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation and advanced, his cultivation level had stabilized. He began to fight steadily, making his way to the Longevity realm, step by step.

However, there was still another obstacle waiting for him in the future…

The Golden Immortal Tribulation.

Living beings were not allowed to live forever on heaven and earth. One would have to go through the natural processes of birth, old age, sickness and death.

If death did not exist, how can life be proven?

Unless he had the protection of merit, he would only be able to avoid the Golden Immortal Tribulation if the Heavenly Dao felt that his longevity was beneficial to the stability of the world.

If he had negative karma, he would have to face the Heavenly Tribulation, the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, and Golden Immortal Tribulation which were all akin to death.

Therefore, Li Changshou did not want to be involved with any negative karma. He had to deal with the matter regarding the Sea God of the South Ocean as soon as possible.

He would definitely make a few preparations to strengthen himself continuously.

Although the Golden Immortal Tribulation was terrifying, and there were very few records about it in various ancient books, and Li Changshou felt that there should still be a limit to its intensity…

He would naturally be seventy-percent confident in transcending the tribulation as long as his accumulation of the Dao and his cultivation level surpassed the upper limit of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The other thirty percent would depend on the preparations apart from his cultivation level.

"Ah…"

Li Changshou stood in front of the Pill Chamber and sighed softly.

At the end of the day, he still had to train hard.

"When you cultivate, give yourself a little bit of leniency. When you transcend the tribulation, you will have to work hard."

Li Changshou muttered to himself. He felt that that sentence could be written in the succeeding version of the Steadiness Sutra.

Li Changshou rode a cloud and slowly flew towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak…

It did not matter if others heard what he said.

At that moment, his cultivation level was at the eighth-stage of the Void Return realm. It was reasonable for him to be worried about the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

was rea

"Are you really going to get physical?"

Deep in the South Ocean, on the surface of the ocean near an Immortal Island.

Ao Yi, who looked like a young man, stood in front of Han Zhi, whose cultivation level was a little higher than his. He raised his head slightly and looked at his three fellow members who were in front of him.

On the Immortal Island, many human Qi Refinement cultivators flew into the air and watched the conflict calmly.

The cause was actually very simple.

Ao Yi and Han Zhi went to the South Ocean to relax. When they arrived at the town of the island, Ao Yi met his cousin, who was hatched from his egg almost at the same time as him —the Second Prince of the South Ocean Dragon Palace. At that moment, three descendants of the dragon who were dressed in brocade clothing and had horns on their heads were standing in front of Ao Yi.

The person in the middle was thin and had long and narrow eyes. Although his face was not as handsome as Ao Yi's, there was something that Ao Yi could not compare to…

He had a normal stature and was eight feet tall.

He was Ao Mou, the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace in the South Ocean.

Ao Mou was the one who mocked Ao Yi and said that he had insulted the Dragon Clan. Ao Yi did not say anything at first. He merely wanted to bring Han Zhi away as he did not want to start a conflict with his race.

However, how could Han Zhi see her Uncle-Master suffer any grievances?

She ended up provoking the three dragons with one sarcastic remark and two scoldings. She rebutted, disagreed, and they got physical.

The onlookers were all talking and scrutinizing. It was very lively!

To put it simply, the two parties had a conflict and agreed to fight at sea.

When Ao Yi asked Han Zhi if she was really going to get physical, Ao Mou sneered and gestured for his two followers to retreat.

Ao Mou's cultivation level was similar to Ao Yi's. Their bloodlines were similar, and they were both the sons of the Dragon King.

Although Ao Yi had been eliminated once, he had gained quite a lot of benefits from the Jie School.

Ao Mou had abstruse mystical abilities. He was going to teach his "Second Cousin" who had embarrassed the dragon race, a lesson today.

At that moment, the two dragons faced each other on the surface of the ocean and started fighting

The battle was quite intense. Both parties were considered rivals, but Ao Yi quickly gained the upper hand and suppressed Ao Mou.

However, Ao Mou was not in a hurry. He activated his mystical abilities and instantly disappeared from the surface of the ocean.

When he was in the ocean, he would be invincible!

Mystical ability: Swimming Dragon Turns into Water!

Ao Yi constricted his pupils. He was ready to launch the Black Ice Heavenly Fire around him. He kept his eyes fixed on the surface of the ocean and continuously searched around.

He had experienced that feeling before… All of a sudden, several figures appeared on the surface of the sea. All of them looked like Ao Mou. They raised their spears and swords, and charged at Ao Yi!

However, Ao Yi did not panic at all. He suddenly stomped on the surface of the sea, and waves of seawater condensed into an Azure Dragon. It exploded around him and destroyed the figures!

Waves appeared on the surface of the sea!

At that moment, Ao Yi suddenly leaped to the left. He raised his hand and clenched it. Then, he turned his fist which instinctively hurt the opponent, into his palm!

Amidst the rumbling sounds, a few water jets rose from the surface of the sea, making everything even more chaotic.

When the rising seawater fell, Ao Yi's body…

At that moment, Ao Yi's feet were three feet away from the surface of the sea. His long hair, which was tied up, fluttered gently behind his back.

He placed his left hand behind his back and extended his right hand to grab Ao Mou's neck. Then, he lifted Ao Mou up, who was eight feet tall, into the air.

Ao Mou's eyes widened and his voice trembled.

"How… how did you find my figure…"

Ao Yi said calmly, "Your mystical abilities are far inferior to that of my good friend's."

Then, the image of the well-mannered human Qi Refinement cultivator appeared in front of Ao Yi's eyes again. He casually threw Ao Mou who was in his hand aside.

"Go and apologize to my Disciple-Nephew."

Chapter 101 The Birth of Poverty

Sometimes, the ties between men were that simple.

Ao Yi punched and kicked, but he did not use his own abilities. Instead, he grabbed his cousin, the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace of the South Ocean, Ao Mou by his neck.

Following that, Ao Yi threw Ao Mou to the side and asked him to apologize to Han Zhi.

That way, Han Zhi would be able to protect the reputation of Jie School. She would not be able to blame Ao Mou anymore. In the future, there would not be any conflicts between the Dragon Palace and Golden Ao Island.

Han Zhi did not have much of a reaction to Ao Yi's performance. She merely smiled. Instead… Ao Mou's eyes flickered.

There seemed to be a tiny star in them…

The two followers of Ao Mou looked at Ao Yi with respect.

The dragon race had a sense of superiority over the outside world as they saw themselves as ancient overlords.

However, within the clan, the young sons of the dragon had always followed the principle of whoever was stronger would be the boss.

Ao Mou fell on the sea surface. However, he would not sink because he was being supported by immortal power.

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He looked up at Han Zhi, who was smiling and then turned to look at Ao Yi.

Then, Ao Mou stood up and said seriously, "I… lost too quickly just now. Let's compete again. If I lose again, I'll be convinced. I'll follow your orders!"

Ao Yi nodded calmly and waved his sleeve, gesturing for him to leave.

Ao Mou moved forward again. This time, his gaze was full of seriousness.

Then, the Second Prince of the South Ocean Dragon Palace let out a low holler. All kinds of unique abilities were activated at once.

The dragon roared, and waves rolled.

After a while, Ao Yi grabbed Ao Mou's neck again.

Ao Yi, who had maintained a youthful figure and appearance, was not injured at all. Only two strands of hair on his forehead were slightly wet.

Ao Yi swung his hand, and Ao Mou fell onto the sea again. This time, he fell slightly gentler.

Immediately, Ao Mou looked up at Ao Yi, and the glow in his eyes became brighter…

"I have another mystical ability!"

Ao Mou looked ashamed, but he gritted his teeth and stood up. "If I lose to you again, I will listen to everything you say!"

Ao Yi frowned and looked at his cousin.

Is he really so obsessed with whether he wins or not?

For the sake of the reputation of the Dragon Palace of the South Ocean, Ao Yi merely nodded and agreed. He thought that he ought to exchange more moves with Ao Mou this time…

Thus, an hour later…

After seven battles, Ao Mou exhibited all his abilities but he still lost all seven battles…

"Second Brother Ao Yi, please accept my bow!"

The three dragons that were initially arrogant and domineering, bowed to Ao Yi at the same time. Ao Yi nodded calmly without showing any emotion.

Ao Yi did not have to say anything at all. The three of them turned around and bowed to Han Zhi. Han Zhi immediately said that there was no need for an apology. Although Ao Mou was born two years earlier than Ao Yi, he addressed the latter as 'Second Brother'. It was much smoother than when he addressed his own brother.

The Second Prince of the Dragon Palace of the South Ocean had really beaten up to the point of submission.

Ao Mou invited Han Zhi and Ao Yi to travel to the South Ocean.

He also sent both of his subordinates back to the Dragon Palace. He brought a treasure ship along, as long as another ship as an apology gift for his second brother.

Since he was sure that he definitely wouldn't win, he decided to just admit defeat.

Ao Yi asked Han Zhi if she wanted to go somewhere else to relax. However, Han Zhi said that she wanted to explore the South Ocean.

Hence, the two of them had an extra "tour guide". They continued traveling in the South Ocean…

"Second Brother, your mystical abilities are really impressive. Did you learn it from the Jie School?"

After hearing Ao Mou's question, Ao Yi smiled and said seriously, "The Dao that the Sage imparted is indeed profound and vast. Do you want to join the Jie School too?'

"Well, forget it. I can't bear the hardships of cultivation. I'd feel much better and at ease in the Dragon Palace."

Ao Yi frowned and said, "Elder Cousin, you…"

"Call me Younger Cousin. I'm your younger cousin now."

"No matter what, remember to be more restrained," Ao Yi said earnestly. "When I sparred with you, I realized that you had suffered a severe loss. Although the dragon race has a deep foundation, we should not be so reckless. Don't spend so much time fooling around all day with the maidservants from the Sea Clan. If you can't control yourself, you should find someone from the same race to marry early, so that you can restrict each other."

Ao Mou chuckled and said that he had already taken a liking to the Dragon Princess of the West Ocean.

Han Zhi, who was standing at the side, did not understand what they were talking about at first. Then, she realized something. Her cheeks turned red, and she did not dare to look at Ao Yi's delicate face.

Ao Yi did not think much of it. It was the norm for the Dragon race. His elder brother, Ao Jia, had been living in a drunken state for a long time.

Little dragons like him who could exercise self-control… were really few and far between.

At the same time, on the west side of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, where the Nine Jiu Immortals lived, Li Changshou was standing in front of his Little Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu's pavilion and watching the array formation set up in the pavilion. He suddenly had a strange feeling and frowned slightly. Why do I feel that something related to me is about to happen?

He secretly sensed the situation at the edge of the South Ocean. For the time being, there was no sign of a chaotic battle between the mortals…

"Little Changshou…"

Jiu Jiu saw Li Changshou frown and could not help but ask softly, "Is there really no hope?".

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and sighed. "Aunt-Master, I'm sorry but I have to ask you a question."

"Yes, go ahead!"

Li Changshou raised his head and sighed. "How did you do it? You simply barged out of the protective array formation and you already disabled sixty percent of the array foundations downstairs." "Hehe, Junior Disciple-Nephew, don't praise me. I've always been that capable!"

Jiu Jiu raised her eyebrows and patted Li Changshou's shoulder.

"I'll leave it to you. Just create an array formation! However, I'm often drunk, and I tend to look ugly when I'm asleep. I often throw my undergarments and clothes around… Otherwise, there's no need to set up the array formation at all!"

Li Changshou said calmly, "Aunt-Master, you don't have to say those things to me."

"Huh?" Jiu Jiu squinted and leaned forward. "Have you met him before?".

с Сс

"Of course not," Li Changshou said calmly. "Aunt-Master, please take out the underground array foundations. I'll wait for you inside. I'll still need some precious materials for refining the array foundation later. Aunt-Master, I will use what I have learned to create a few different array formations for you to choose from."

Jiu Jiu blinked and casually tossed a ring over. She waved her hand generously.

"Do whatever you want! I've been working here for more than a thousand years. I still have some savings." Li Changshou smiled. He grabbed the ring and walked straight into the attic.

The array formation that isolated a residence was naturally very important. However, it was impossible for Li Changshou to reveal the high-level array formation that he had mastered.

He had to use the insights about array formations that his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had given him to set up an array formation that could completely protect Jiu Jiu and ensure her safety.

It was also a small challenge.

Sitting at the round table, Li Changshou found a few stone slabs at the side and took out a carving knife. He then started writing and drawing on the stone slabs.

His interest was completely different.

Jiu Jiu quickly went underground and took out the array foundations that she had been fiddling with for a long time.

Since it was just a small array formation, Li Changshou managed to come up with the design very quickly. When Jiu Jiu scurried back with the array foundations, Li Changshou had already prepared several diagrams of array formations.

"Oh, Changshou, you're so fast."

"I've had similar considerations before." Li Changshou pushed the few stone slabs towards her. "Take a look and see which one you want me to set up."

"I'll find the location later. Aunt-Master, bury the array foundations one by one and we'll successfully accomplish the task."

Jiu Jiu grabbed the stone slabs and looked at them. She was instantly dizzy.

"You decide. I don't understand these things."

"Aunt-Master," Li Changshou said with a serious expression. "You can't joke about these things that are related to your life."

"Yes." Jiu Jiu nodded seriously. "In this case, explain to me, how are these different? Aren't they all array formations?".

Li Changshou smiled and said, "They look similar, but they're actually worlds apart."

"Aunt-Master, please take a look at the first array formation. It's more important to guard against detection. If it's set up properly, perhaps even your master will not be able to see through this place."

"Oh?" Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up. "Set up one!"

Li Changshou cleared his throat and continued, "Don't be impatient, Aunt-Master. Finish reading these first before making a decision.

If the array formation is set up, the detection prevention level would be average. However, it would be heavily guarded. If you encounter a strong enemy, it could increase your chances of survival. If you press on longer, you might be able to wait for aid.

I prefer that."

Jiu Jiu pointed at the other two stone slabs. "What about this and this?"

"The third set of array formations is more focused on the Spirit-gathering Array. It can allow you to cultivate with an endless stream of spiritual energy. Moreover, it can be considered to take into account the level of defense and protection against detection…"

After listening for a while, Jiu Jiu felt a little dizzy and said, "Can't all the array formations be of high quality?"

"This…"

Li Changshou looked at the ring in his hand and smiled. "Actually, I did them according to the materials you gave me. I have already used all my precious materials in the array formations of Little Qiong Peak."

"I thought it was for some reason. So that's all."

Jiu Jiu let out a soft snort and took out a bracelet and a treasure pouch, which she then placed in front of Li Changshou.

"Make the best array formations!"

Li Changshou muttered to himself and confirmed, "Really?" "Really!"

Jiu Jiu put her hands on her waist and said, "Just do it!"

How could a mere cluster of array formations in the attic cost all the savings that I had accumulated for thousands of years?

However, very quickly, Jiu Jiu's mental state started to change…

Li Changshou took out all the precious materials that he had accumulated over the years and organized them in different categories. It looked like he was arranging herbs before refining pills…

The main point was that after Li Changshou thought about the various types of precious materials, he found the use for each of them.

Li Changshou did not plot anything against his Little Aunt-Master or coveted anything of hers. He was very concerned about Jiu Jiu's safety.

After all, she was a "good partner for refining pills" and his "smokescreen expert". Li Changshou had always felt that the protective array formations of areas of residence and seclusion were rather important as well.

In order to help his Aunt-Master set up higher-level array formations, Li Changshou began to re-refine the array foundations that could be used. He also removed the broken array foundations and used everything that he could,

In fact, Li Changshou even took out a few materials himself…

Jiu Jiu, who was standing at the side, wanted to say something but stopped herself. When she saw that Li Changshou had already added something to her array formation, she felt embarrassed to say anything…

Two days later, Li Changshou rode a cloud and flew towards the Little Qiong Peak. He smiled in satisfaction.

Building a nearly perfect "Linkage array" was akin to completing a piece of art.

He did not need to worry about his Little Aunt-Master's safety anymore.

In front of the attic, Jiu Jiu stared at Li Changshou's disappearing figure. She turned around and looked at the newly-reformed array formation behind her. She could tell at a glance that it was extremely difficult to break… Then, she looked down at the talisman in her hand…

From now on, she could only activate the array formation by injecting her immortal power into the jade talisman.

It was safe, secretive, meticulous, and comfortable. There was no extra light pollution at night, and there would not be any spiritual power disturbances during the day.

However…

Jiu Jiu held a few storage Dharma treasures in her hands and looked at the empty storage universe inside. Her legs went weak and she slowly took a seat on the stairs in front of the door.

All of the savings that she had accumulated over a thousand years… had really been used up. He did not waste any at all…

However, why is there no joy in my heart, only emptiness?

If I run out of wine in the future, I can't even exchange for any…

While in a daze, Jiu Jiu heard the comforting words that Li Changshou whispered into her ears before he left.

"Uncle-Master, your precious materials and Spirit Stones did not disappear. They're just in another form and are accompanying you."

"Ah…"

Jiu Jiu slowly lied down and her eyes gradually lost their luster.

"I'm poor. I have nothing to do after I'm drunk. In another thousand years, I'll still be

poor."

In the future, I'll just move to Little Poor Peak…

Chapter 102 You Don't Understand the Sea God At All!

He returned to Little Qiong Peak and entered the Pill Chamber.

Li Changshou used his immortal senses to admire the attic defensive array formation that he had built for Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.

Indeed, if he had not left behind a "back door", he would not have been able to see through the layers of light walls…

After that incident, Little Aunt-Master's safety in the sect had improved significantly.

Although he had spent a lot of precious materials…

the value of life was far beyond what those treasures could measure!

He started counting the "friends" whom he was involved with, such as his Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Elder Wan Linyun… and his half-toxic Junior Sister.

The number of "friends" he had now had exceeded his expectations.

He had to be careful in the future, in case he got involved in some strange things because he had too many friends.

He then checked the array formations of Little Qiong Peak and observed the situations of the various peaks in the sect.

After sensing the Dao runes that his junior sister revealed during her cultivation, he secretly glanced at his master who was cultivating hard in the straw hut…

After making sure that everything was normal, Li Changshou activated the array formations outside the Pill Chamber. He left a wisp of his conscious behind to guard his main body, devoting most of it to the paper effigies.

The most important thing to do now was to sever the karma between him and the Sea God of the South Ocean. He could not let the South Ocean Sea God continue growing and expanding tyrannically…

In the space of the underground rock veins, he slowly opened his eyes. Li Changshou checked the Sensing Stone on the paper doll's body and the simple array formations around it.

Very good, no one noticed… After stabilizing the paper effigy's aura, Li Changshou used an escape technique while he was underground. He went from 10,000 feet deep to 1,000 feet deep.

He had carefully thought about it before deciding on the depth of 1,000 feet underground At this depth, the Earth Escape technique worked rather quickly. It would not cause him to leave behind any aura disturbances on the ground or hit any hard treasure mineral veins while escaping…

Even if he really bumped into any, it would be possible for him to strike a fortune because of that…

At that moment, Li Changshou was in the region of the border between the East Continent and the South Continent. He passed by some of the demons' territories and quickly approached the mortal world of the South Continent.

In order to increase his safety, Li Changshou chose the path that he had taken previously…

He scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and saw mountains and rivers that were greeting him. They came and went in a hurry.

With a thought, he saw the familiar scenes again.

For example, the battles between the Qi Refinement cultivators who often appeared, as well as the battles between the mountain demons and spirits that were not rare.

The spectacular battle at that spot finally stopped. The city walls were stained red.

Li Changshou chanced upon the traces of his uncle and aunt-in-law who had chosen to pursue love and freedom, at the edge of a forest.

His uncle was still around, but his aunt-in-law was nowhere to be found. There was another young man nearby who was chopping wood and igniting some fire…

This was probably the mundaneness of the mortal world.

After using Earth Escape for two days, Li Changshou found a hidden corner under a large city in the mortal world where he replaced the paper effigy who was traveling.

The immortal power of the paper effigies could not be restored on its own. It was not worth it to waste one paper effigy's combat power on the journey.

Li Changshou took another seven to eight days to get close to himself…

What does that mean!?!

The matter regarding the Sea God and the South Ocean Sect never had anything to do with me!

If he could return the merit of incense offerings and exchange them for the destruction of the South Ocean Sea God Sect without any consequences, Li Changshou would definitely agree.

The scale of the South Ocean Sea God Sect was not considered large at the moment. Most of the fishermen of the towns and villages located at the edge of the South Ocean consecrated the Sea God.

The first place Li Changshou chose to land on was the border of the South Sea Divine Sect. It was an ordinary town located on the plains.

There were about five to six thousand residents in that down. Many vendors were resting there and it was considered rather prosperous…

On the main road leading through the town, they could see some gentle "passing beasts" like cows and horses. They were pulling some carriages with passengers and goods.

A temple of the Sea God was built along the main road on the southern side of the town.

CISE

The incense in the temple was burning brightly. Most people who had gone out would go to offer incense and pray for peace upon returning home. After hiding in an empty corner and observing for a few hours, Li Changshou finally brought himself to come out of the ground and leave the forest…

At that moment, the appearance of the paper effigy was that of an old Daoist priest with white hair and white beard.

He was dressed in a grayish-white clean robe, with a Daoist band around his head and a horsetail whisk in his hands. When he walked, he looked like he was floating on the ground. He looked like an otherworldly expert who was filled with immortal Qi…

Li Changshou first strolled around the town where many mortals looked at him.

The place was considered a border region of the mortal world. The people there lived rather simple lives. Everyone did not see many Qi Refinement cultivators who had such an image. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.

Other than being curious, the villagers also showed their passion.

When they passed by the bun shop, a peddler delivered hot steamed buns.

When they walked past the teahouse, a young man ran to the lobby and greeted them with a cup of hot tea.

When she passed by an elegant wooden building, a window was pushed open. A short stick that was supporting the window dropped by accident. The young lady behind the window covered her mouth and chuckled…

Li Changshou was nowhere to be seen. He walked slowly and approached the temple of the Sea God of the South Ocean.

The temple was not considered grand.

In fact, it was just a square courtyard. A ten-feet-tall stone statue was erected in the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Li Changshou looked up at the statue. Its face, body, and appearance were very similar to his own. He sighed in his heart.

It was also because his abilities were not up to standard yet and he had also yet to master the mystical abilities that could not be remembered by others yet.

At that time, Li Changshou had been struck by the Heavenly Tribulation's Heavenly Punishment and was seriously injured. He had also fallen into the realization of his ascension. He really could not care about these details…

At this moment, he could only think of ways to salvage the situation.

"Oh? Where did you come from?"

A voice suddenly came from the corner of the courtyard. A short and thin "Qi Refinement cultivator" who was dressed in a dirty and tattered Daoist robe scurried over.

That person's cultivation level seemed to be only at the third level of the Qi Refinement realm. He could barely cast any weak spells.

He had set up a stall in the corner of the courtyard for divination. He also sold some "long joss sticks" that were of varying prices. Li Changshou reckoned that he should have been there to earn a living.

However, Li Changshou did not dare to be careless at all.

It was possible that that person was a snitch of the Western Sect. He might also be an expert whom Li Changshou could not see through…

Even though the chances of this happening were not high,

In short, after he entered the area where the Sea God had influence over, Li Changshou would constantly remind himself to be careful.

The old fortune-teller quickly walked over. When he was about 30 feet away, Li Changshou had already bowed…

"Fellow Daoist, greetings."

"This?"

The old fortune-teller was stunned for a moment. He darted his small eyes around, and he immediately bowed in return.

He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're being too polite.

Fellow Daoist, where did you come from? Why did you come to our small temple?"

Li Changshou replied, "I have traveled to this place from afar. I can see that there are plenty of incense offerings here. However, I have never heard of the venerable gods in this temple. I'm a little puzzled, so I came to take a look."

The old fortune-teller frowned. "Have you never heard of the Sea God?"

Li Changshou shook his head and smiled. "It's my first time here…"

The old fortune-teller yelled, "Elder! Don't say that in front of the Sea God!"

He then continued with a stern face, "The name of the Sea God is known throughout the world! Elder, please be careful with your words and actions when you're in front of the Sea God's statue. Some time ago, the rich man in town said something wrong and offended the Sea God. However, the next day, he died after getting drunk from a glass of wine. The young lady he just married became a widow!"

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

"Huh? The Sea God is that efficacious?"

"That's right." The old fortune-teller, who was in the Qi Refinement realm, laughed smugly. A devotee who was standing by the side also responded and said that it was indeed the case.

Then, the old fortune-teller continued from where he had left off and began to talk about… the story of the Sea God.

More than ten mortals who had gone to offer incense also gathered at the side.

When the old fortune-teller told him the story, the mortals kept chiming in. Everyone had their own things to say, and it was as if they had experienced it personally. Li Changshou patiently listened to the old fortune-teller's words, and his heart kept cramping up.

Currently, in the vicinity of the South Ocean, there were a few stories about the Sea God that were the most widely circulated.

They were 'The Sea God War's Carp Spirit', 'The Six Shows of the Sea God And The Dragon Girl', 'The Sea God says: The pain caused by the storm is nothing."', 'The Sea God Brought The Fishes', 'You Have To Put In Effort If You Believe in the Sea God'…

Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Li Changshou would not believe it even if there was an onomatopoeia.

I definitely did not do anything!

I have never seen the Carp Spirit or the Dragon Girl before!

Also, can the young girl who had been pregnant with the Sea God's child out of wedlock carefully investigate the cause and effect of the matter? He could not afford to be convicted of such an unnecessary crime!

The old man's mouth was dry after talking for a long time. Seeing that Li Changshou did not speak, he humphed softly.

"Do you understand what we're saying?"

"Yes, I did hear you but I don't quite understand." Li Changshou smiled slightly. At that moment, he looked kind and amiable. Li Changshou explained earnestly, "Gathering incense is also a cultivation method. I looked around and did not see any miracles. Fellow Daoist, do you feel that you were exaggerating?"

The old fortune-teller widened his eyes and shouted, "Exaggerated?! Hey! Where did you come from, old man? Why did you come here? We are from the Sea God Sect. The Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect are all extremely powerful!"

Li Changshou's mind was filled with thoughts as he continued, "You can gain infinite strength with some cultivation. You guys might have been used. If the Sea God of the South Sea is so efficacious, I will just stand here and let him make his presence known."

The surrounding mortals looked like they were about to beat him up. There was pain written all over the fortune-teller's face.

"You, you… You don't understand our Sea God at all! Forget it, leave quickly! The Sea God is quite generous to you now. He might punish you later!"

Li Changshou still wanted to speak, but the old man had already begun chasing him away. His tone was also anxious.

One of them retreated while the other advanced. The surrounding mortals chased him as well.

Li Changshou took advantage of the chaos and left some cobwebs in the corner of the courtyard's gate. Finally, he got chased out by the old Daoist priest and the other devotees… Standing in front of the courtyard, Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It was quite a strange thing to be thrown out of the temple that was used to consecrate his own statue.

Li Changshou deliberately sighed. The old immortal, who was actually the paper effigy, waved his horsetail whisk a few times and walked along the main road towards the south…

In the beginning, he had left behind the Double-Eyed Spider cobweb in order to understand the Sea God Sect better.

If he wanted to destroy the Sea God Sect without any bloodshed, he would have to understand why so many people believed in him, the Sea God who had never appeared before. He had to find the key points and overthrow them one by one.

However, the cobweb that Li Changshou had placed there gave him a small surprise when it was quiet at night… In the middle of the night, the old fortune-teller slipped out of the room and took out a paper talisman. He lit up the talisman and waited quietly in the courtyard.

Not long after, a crow landed in the courtyard under the moonlight. It looked around and turned into the figure of a human.

The old fortune-teller lowered his head and did not dare to look further. He spoke in a trembling voice and explained about the old immortal whom he had encountered during the day…
