Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 229 - 183: Fish Biting the Hook, Waiting for Prey (Long - )_3
"I’ll say it once—will you leave, or should I let the Spirit Beast kill you?"
Jiang Ribai was incredibly indifferent.
With a quick scan of his Divine Sense, he already understood. What those two True Core cultivators mentioned was indeed true. This place truly harbors a major opportunity, one that could even allow his Great Lizard to recover swiftly in a short time!
This way, he could continue his plans for demonization.
So, he was determined to seize the opportunity here. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
He had his eyes set on Zhou Libai.
As for Han Diao, it would be best for him to get lost.
Zhou Libai bit her lip; she also understood. Jiang Ribai most likely had his eyes on her butterfly...
"Han Diao, you should leave first—"
She spoke up because, with her knowledge of Bai Jiang, she was sure he would indeed strike a fatal blow against Han Diao.
Han Diao’s face alternated between pale and flushed. This was such a disgrace, yet he could only swallow his pride, give his sleeve a fierce swing, and leave.
After he left.
"Friend Bai... what exactly do you wish to do?"
Zhou Libai asked warily.
Jiang Ribai put away the Jade Talisman, a sly smile appearing on his aged face, "Naturally, to be your husband."
Zhou Libai stepped back two paces, gritting her teeth, "Friend Bai... please have some self-respect!"
Offering herself was one thing, chastity was nothing, but now it was clear Jiang Ribai was after more than just her—her butterfly!
Jiang Ribai, however, pressed on relentlessly, sneering, "Playing coy now? Ha, back when you brought your husband Ba Jijian to meet me, he waited in the living room while you and I... were not like this in the study. What’s wrong? Don’t you want to change your Spirit Vein, don’t you want to enter the Demon Race?"
"This fortune of the Love Butterfly is beyond your grasp alone!"
"Either join me, and once I successfully nurture the Great Lizard demon, you’ll share in the glory and wealth. Or, I kill you, and I’ll still get your butterfly, while you achieve nothing!"
"You can make a choice."
Jiang Ribai’s words were blatantly clear!
Zhou Libai gritted her teeth, her hatred reaching an extreme.
She couldn’t understand why everything was going so well, why two people suddenly showed up yesterday asking for Spirit Butterfly blood...
If it weren’t for them, why would they have brought Jiang Ribai here?
Facing Jiang Ribai now... she truly had no choice.
Resist?
Jiang Ribai nurtured the Great Lizard demon, a Spirit Beast even Mountain Master Bai valued.
She had nowhere to seek justice.
If she had enough time for the Spirit Butterfly to refine and absorb, bringing about transformation, then everything would be safe. She could then take the Spirit Butterfly to Mountain Master Bai for commendation, and Spirit Butterfly would have hopes for demonization too.
Yet now, with everything incomplete, Mountain Master Bai would not permit such precious material to be absorbed by the Spirit Butterfly...
"Come to your senses?"
Jiang Ribai laughed coldly, leisurely sitting down, "Come to your senses, then come over and kneel."
...
Spiritual Serenity Peak.
"Finally arrived."
Li An had been closely monitoring the situation at Lingdong Peak.
Jiang Ribai arrived; half of the plan succeeded!
He anticipated that Jiang Ribai would surely pressure the aura absorbed within the Spirit Butterfly, nurturing the Great Lizard demon.
But that little bit inside the Spirit Butterfly... is not enough.
He would definitely interrogate Zhou Libai for its origins, eventually heading toward Hundred Flowers Valley...
Now, all that was needed was to wait.
Li An immediately activated the Mountain Protection Array fully and hung a sign declaring he was in seclusion, refusing visitors.
Preparing for future actions.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed!
On this day, the grand array at Lingdong Peak finally opened. Jiang Ribai and Zhou Libai stepped out together, destination unknown.
By evening, they returned empty-handed.
Late at night.
Li An brought out his puppet Wang Zhongxian and altered its appearance to match his, imbuing it with some of his Life Seed aura, placing it at the site of seclusion, even letting the little red bird perch on the puppet’s shoulder.
In this way, others wouldn’t find anything amiss upon investigation.
Moreover, the array had been continuously active for two months; Li An was known to be in seclusion, something both Jiang Ribai and Zhou Libai were aware of.
Only then did Li An conceal his aura, sneaking along a secret path into Hundred Flowers Valley.
He captured some bee butterflies, killed them with Evil Qi, and scattered them casually, leaving an obscured trail pointing to—that mountain stream!
He hid inside the mountain stream, nestled among the accumulated Evil Qi miasma.
Inside the mountain stream were two roses he had long since nurtured; the roses had assimilated the Life Seed aura, transforming.
Li An uprooted one of the roses, collected it, then covered traces of the uprooting, while with the remaining rose, he repeatedly infused toxins!
His middle finger gently brushed the petals, the toxins merged with his Life Seed aura, ensuring even a True Core cultivator wouldn’t be able to detect a thing...
Everything was ready.
Now all that remained.
Was to wait by the tree for the rabbit.
