Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 355 - 239: Fish Leaping into the Vast Ocean (Long - )
The words had barely left his mouth.
Suddenly, he felt as if his throat was being strangled by an invisible hand. His whole body became stiff, and standing before him, Zhan Qingxuan’s belly had inexplicably swollen, from which emerged a paper figure—
The paper figure opened its mouth and inhaled, causing Xu Wanshou to be utterly terrified. Yet, he couldn’t resist and was directly sucked into the figure’s belly!
Beside them, Tuoba Wanchong was momentarily stunned!
At that moment, the Tier Seven Array of Profound Turtle Peak had already detected the anomaly, resounding with a mighty roar. Terrifying ripples spread instantly, with beams of light cascading downwards to suppress everything.
Countless killing intents surged towards Zhan Qingxuan like a tide—
"Once the Evil King emerges, chaos shall reign in the world, attack!"
Zhan Qingxuan shouted, her voice echoing throughout Profound Turtle Peak. Her back split open, and strips of white paper-made hands extended out, making her seem like a monster, emanating ominous evil qi, striking the Tier Seven Array.
"Kill!"
In the hall, Tuoba Wanchong’s eyes bulged as he seized the moment when the array was disturbed by Zhan Qingxuan, to charge outside with all his might.
Inside the Scripture Repository, the group of big shots who had long been prepared, including Evil Fourteen, Xun Dongfang, Witch Lady, and Lin Xianxian, were also fighting desperately at this moment.
Rumble!
The array suppressed everything, and the intense clash caused the entire Profound Turtle Peak to shake violently, as if facing a landslide and earthquake.
"Something’s wrong, quickly come out—"
Zhan Qingxuan had already flown into the sky, but her face suddenly changed, indeed something unexpected happened.
The array had locked onto Evil Fourteen and the others, and that scapegoat Li An was nowhere to be found!
Now... the only option is a forced breakout!
If Li An was here, the collaboration between inside and outside, Evil Fourteen and the others could likely have escaped unscathed, but a forced breakout... would come at a great cost!
...
Profound Turtle Peak was shaking violently, threatening to collapse, and at this moment, in a tomb on the back mountain, a nearly decomposed corpse finally crawled out!
Li An!
The opportunity he had waited for so long had finally arrived.
He activated his Life Nourishing Immortal Skill swiftly, concealing his life’s miracles. Meanwhile, the primordial spirit of Shangguan Xiaoxiao in his Spirit Platform had also awakened, quickly guiding him on the escape route! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The entire several hundred miles of Profound Turtle Peak were covered under the Tier Seven Array, and Li An’s burial place was still within the array’s range.
This is also why Li An waited until the very end to pretend to be dead.
If he had faked his death decades ago, he wouldn’t have been able to leave either. As a person from Profound Turtle Peak, even if he died and became a corpse, it would still be handled by Profound Turtle Peak, at most buried around its vicinity.
Only by waiting until today, when Evil Fourteen and the others’ plans compelled them to act, could he seize the opportunity to leave!
Over the decades, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had already become intimately familiar with this array, and during this moment when Zhan Qingxuan, Evil Fourteen, and the others were attacking together, the array had developed cracks. She captured every detail to point out the path for Li An.
The array of Profound Turtle Peak was primarily used to suppress Xun Dongfang and the others, locking onto their Life Essence, whereas Li An at this moment had no life fluctuations, maintaining a corpse state with his Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, and he was too weak to be specifically targeted by the array.
Ordinarily, he still couldn’t leave because under the array’s coverage, it would have been impossible for him to escape.
But now, the array’s power wavered, and with the insane assaults by Evil Fourteen and the others, there were gaps!
At this moment, all of Evil Fourteen and the others were fully focused on countering the array, without any time to spare, and no one noticed that Li An, this supposed corpse, was slowly escaping the array...
Traversing hundreds of miles, Li An felt like an eternity had passed. He moved swiftly, finally seizing a fleeting gap to break through and emerge from the array of Profound Turtle Peak—
Li An escaped the array of Profound Turtle Peak!
Up until now, Evil Fourteen and the others were still struggling, yet to break free!
—Their research on arrays could not compare to the second princess of the Demon Sect, so they inadvertently paved the way for Li An, providing the wedding garb!
Without hesitation, he plunged into a forest behind Profound Turtle Peak, expanding his Divine Sense abruptly. The forest was home to many Spirit Beasts, now fleeing in panic due to disturbances from Profound Turtle Peak. Li An quickly locked onto a giant python at the Core Formation Stage.
Landing right in front of the python, it opened its mouth wide, attempting to devour him. Yet, Li An didn’t evade. On the contrary, he voluntarily flew into the python’s mouth, struggling his way into its stomach.
The acid-laden, intense gastric juices soaked him, but he held his breath, simultaneously activating the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill and Beast Taming Skill, interwoven with the soul-snatching methods of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect. In an instant, he had taken control of the python!
He made every effort to constrict his body, nestling inside the giant python, then maneuvered it to flee rapidly!
Escaping with the aid of a Spirit Beast, this was the safest way Li An found.
The Dao Sect was enormous!
Merely leaving Profound Turtle Peak did not mean freedom. As far as Li An knew, the mountain range owned by the Dao Sect spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, possibly just a corner of it.
Li An didn’t even have a concept of the entire Dao Sect in his mind.
When would he have truly left the Dao Sect?
He had no idea!
And within the Dao Sect, the most liberated were the Spirit Beasts.
Due to the continuous expanse of the sect’s mountains and the Dao Sect’s advocacy for Unity of Heaven and Man, living in harmony with nature, various Spirit Beasts thrived in its mountains unless they caused chaos, in which case disciples of the sect were forbidden from reckless killing.
