Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 347 - 237: Defeating Li Yunxiao (Extended - ) (2)
...
Li An quickly left Broken Dragon Valley.
His plan was simple, let Dai Xiongtian and Luo Zijie act as puppets to draw attention in Broken Dragon Valley, while he changed his appearance and found a safe place to hide!
In fact, from the enemy’s perspective, this scheme was perfect, as if it had calculated Li An’s moves to the letter.
After all, being from Profound Turtle Peak, once Li An entered, to successfully extend his lifespan by a hundred years, he would definitely fight desperately, making it easy to find him, severely wound him, or even kill him.
However, unfortunately, once Li An entered, he kept a low profile, didn’t cause any commotion, and quietly waited, making it hard for enemies to find him.
Moreover, there was the presence of Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s Primordial Spirit within Li An’s Spirit Platform, which alerted him to the conspiracy.
Once he discovered it, the enemy’s plan became difficult to achieve.
After all, as long as Li An did not show himself and kept running around, it would be hard for the enemy to chase and kill him!
Additionally, with his Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, he could change his appearance, making it nearly impossible to guard against. Over the years, he also learned the skill of Converging Qi Mechanism from several evil demons. Although not as thorough as the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, it was still barely usable.
...
Soon after, Li An arrived at a Chaotic Peak Forest, where a great battle had taken place, and the battlefield was a mess; now it was deserted.
The reason for choosing this place was the same: convenient for setting up arrays!
Although he was currently safe, he needed to stay vigilant.
He frantically set up arrays around the area, without holding anything back, exhausting all his knowledge!
Ultimately, he set up a thirteen-layer array in the Chaotic Peak Forest.
In reality, if it were in the outside world, setting up a single layer of a Rank Five array would be extremely difficult. Generally, a sect established by a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator would find it rare to have a Rank Five array to protect their mountain.
But, in this realm, issues like lack of resources were nonexistent, allowing the power of the world to be harnessed to complete the task.
After setting up more than a dozen Rank Five arrays here, Li An was still not content. He laid arrays in many areas around the Chaotic Peak Forest as well.
Countless in number.
"The Celestial Performance Dao Realm... truly wondrous!"
Li An couldn’t help but marvel, if it were in the outside world, not to mention the exorbitant cost of each array, his soul power alone wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
However, to pursue the ultimate battle strategy, the Dao Sect used the Celestial Performance Dao Realm to patch many shortcomings of cultivators, allowing those who entered to act without worry.
Otherwise, from the start until now, several days had passed, and many geniuses who battled continuously would have long been unable to hold on!
But, probably no one else would spend all their energy on setting up arrays like Li An!
Others entered to comprehend the Dao through battle and create new skills, seeking direct confrontation, glimpsing the truth on the edge of life and death. Yet he protected himself tightly, unwilling to actively fight anyone.
Li An hunkered down in the Chaotic Peak Forest.
...
Time flew by.
In a blink, seven days passed.
During these seven days, although Li An didn’t take a step outside, news about him kept rolling.
Already, three Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators had fallen in Broken Dragon Valley, and six or seven others were injured!
Li An left behind a nineteen-layer array, with traps embedded between them, making it extremely difficult for Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators to attack from outside.
Moreover, his puppet showed up once in the valley, so it was generally assumed Li An was in Broken Dragon Valley, defending himself with arrays!
"Just like those old bastards, this little bastard is disgusting. He uses arrays to defend himself and cannot innovate a new skill to gain the monument’s recognition! Harming others without benefiting himself!"
"These evil demons, there’s no reasoning with them!"
"The genius from Evil Suppression Peak, Zhou Yilong, led eleven Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators there, claiming they would slay the demon!"
As news kept coming, Li An couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He seemingly had no personal vendetta with Zhou Yilong, so why target him like this?
"Evil Suppression Peak... could it be Li Yunxiao?"
Li An frowned slightly, it shouldn’t be, Li Yunxiao didn’t have sufficient motive to kill him...
Moreover, as the situation developed, he also heard that Xiang Yuntian and Tan Qingxue had also appeared around Broken Dragon Valley, turning that area into a focus!
Li An wasn’t important, but with Xiang Yuntian, Tan Qingxue, and Zhou Yilong, it became the best battlefield.
Battle erupted.
In a blink, another three days passed.
That day, shocking news emerged:
"Li An’s nineteen-layer Rank Five killing array slew seven Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators and injured eleven, causing heavy losses for Evil Suppression Peak, deemed the greatest damage suffered!"
"The arrays were broken, but... Li An was never in Broken Dragon Valley; his puppet was in the valley!"
"Zhou Yilong and others struggled in vain, only to be played by him!"
This news shocked various parties.
Initially, not many paid attention to Li An, but now he had sparked the interest of many!
Simultaneously, the Dao Sect’s top released a decree:
"Whoever among the Divinity Transformation Stage can break Li An’s arrays, will be rewarded with a wisp of Dao Charm—"
With this news, Li An instantly became one of the focal points.
The Dao Sect’s top level closely monitored the battlefield’s happenings, releasing decree tasks whenever they found valuable clues, guiding the sect’s members.
For example, cutting off one of Tan Qingxue’s fox tails, or breaking Gu Canye’s Sword Intent, these tasks had already been announced.
