Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 232 - 184: The Perfect Murder (Extended - ) (Part 3)
Then he silently cultivated, as usual.
At noon, he noticed that the array at the Spiritual Serenity Peak had been activated once, and then quickly shut off...
Zhou Libai must have returned, right?
She should have already obtained Jiang Ribai’s storage ring.
This woman has always invested heavily in the Hehuan Butterfly, which shows how strong her desire to align with the Demon Race is. Now that Jiang Ribai is dead, with such a great opportunity in front of her, how could she not cherish it?
With her taking Jiang Ribai’s things, Li An is safe.
This way, she will be the one in the front!
This is also why Li An had the confidence to take a portion of the resources.
First, no one really knows how many resources Jiang Ribai actually had.
Second, even if someone did know, the resources taken by Li An would be attributed to Zhou Libai, and she wouldn’t be able to explain it!
Moreover, this woman has obtained that rose, and it’s very likely that she will soar to new heights, replacing Jiang Ribai. By then, who would still chase after the death of Jiang Ribai?
A dead person holds no value for anyone; who would waste energy on him?
As for the existing rift between Zhou Libai and Li An, after she seizes this opportunity, Li An’s life might not be easy, which is something he has not overlooked.
But Zhou Libai’s scheming and strategy are far inferior to Jiang Ribai’s, and her threat to Li An is much less than that of Jiang Ribai.
Worth it!
...
Lingdong Peak.
"Great Lizard, Bai Jiang is dead, and I can become your patron. Here is the spiritual flower I’ve found for you, which can help you recover soon..."
Zhou Libai trembled, kneeling in front of the Great Lizard.
The Great Lizard had just finished eating the Hehuan Butterfly, and now its tongue, red as an arrow, flicked out lightly. It crawled over on all fours, suddenly burrowing into her skirt.
...
Days later.
Zhou Libai emerged from Lingdong Peak, looking as if she had transformed. She exuded a calm confidence, dignified and assured.
The Great Lizard was perched on her back, its tongue, red as an arrow, flicking in and out.
She took to the air, casting a calm glance back at Lingdong Peak.
She had packed up everything; this time, she would never return to this place!
"After today, no one will be able to humiliate me again!"
Her expression turned cold as she glanced at Lingdong Peak once more.
"Lin An..."
This person will also be dealt with slowly in the future!
For now, the most important thing is to see the Mountain Master.
She turned and flew away directly.
...
Li An quietly sensed all this, with no ripples in his heart, and began to continue refining the Second Grade Purifying Evil Pill.
The three-year assessment period was approaching fast. If he made no contributions by then, he would be expelled, unfit even to live in Grade D spiritual veins.
...
Half a month later. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Zhou Libai officially became the patron of the Great Lizard, directly replacing Jiang Ribai’s previous position.
She was in the limelight, with many cultivators seeking to curry favor with her.
Most importantly, as Li An anticipated, once Zhou Libai succeeded, no one paid any attention to Jiang Ribai’s affairs.
Everything was safe!
...
Time flew by.
It had been three years since Li An came under Mountain Master Bai’s jurisdiction!
Li An’s cultivation had steadily progressed, and in a few more years, he would reach perfection in the Early-Stage Golden Core!
The Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow was about to break through to the Mid-Stage Golden Core.
"Where is Lin An—"
On this day, the envoy responsible for assessments under Mountain Master Bai arrived with three cultivators.
"Lin An is here, greeting Envoy Gu—"
The envoy’s name was Gu Xuanting, and it was said that the spirit beast he had nurtured early on turned into a demon, which made him highly valued by Mountain Master Bai.
"Pack your things and get out."
Gu Xuanting looked at Li An coldly and spoke directly.
Li An was momentarily stunned and asked, "What do you mean, Lord Gu?"
Gu Xuanting replied, "What do I mean? You haven’t made any contributions to Mountain Master Bai for three years, haven’t taken any missions or explored any ruins, so why are you needed?"
Li An’s mind suddenly cleared. This Gu Xuanting... He must have been instructed by Zhou Libai to deal with him on a whim. After all, he had always been a nobody under Mountain Master Bai, so how could Gu Xuanting know his situation?
The one most familiar with him was indeed Zhou Libai.
This harlot really held a grudge.
Li An calmly said, "Who says I haven’t contributed to the Mountain Master?"
He took out a box and said, "Please have a look, Envoy—"
Gu Xuanting frowned, opened the box to see, and immediately raised his eyebrows, saying, "These... You made them?"
"You’re an alchemist?!"
His tone already carried a hint of gravitas.
The three who came with him also felt a chill.
