Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 395 - 249: Scheming Against Two Major Factions (Long - )
He immediately followed Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s instructions, set up the array, and also hid a spirit-lock box wrapped in stone skin within it.
Still not reassured, he repeatedly scanned with his Divine Sense over a hundred times. Indeed, this array was hidden between the formless creation, invisible and traceless, and although the spirit-lock box could be sensed, because it was disguised with stone skin, it appeared just like a stone, not arousing any attention...
Only then did he finally relax!
After finishing these tasks, Li An took out Xiaoqing. After communicating with Xiaoqing, he used the Life Seed’s aura to help Xiaoqing disguise itself. Soon, the originally full-green-feathered Cyan Flame Divine Sparrow instantly transformed into a seven-colored spirit bird, resembling a parrot.
If you’re going to do it, do it thoroughly!
...
The next day.
Qin Yan and a group of cultivators entered the Wind Mountain Range to explore. They were extremely cautious, mostly wandering only in the peripheral areas.
But just at this moment, someone among them shouted in surprise, "What is that? A Seven-Colored Divine Bird?!"
He saw a parrot emitting a seven-colored divine light all over its body, its feathers resembling a rainbow, exuding a powerful spiritual aura and a surging life force. The branch it landed on appeared vibrant and alive due to it, unlike any other.
That parrot let out a long cry, seemingly calling out the word "Immortal", then flew into the depths of the Wind Mountain Range.
These cultivators were all amazed and hurriedly followed along. Along the way, they unexpectedly encountered no strong spirit beasts to block them, and before long, they had charged into the valley that Li An had long prepared.
The Seven-Colored Divine Bird vanished entirely.
"Where is the Divine Bird? Where has it gone?"
"What’s going on, why did it disappear..."
"There shouldn’t be any danger here, right?"
Their expressions were all grave.
"Eh? What’s this grass? Why does it feel a bit strange..."
At this moment, one of the cultivators discovered a spirit herb, very surprised, and said, "Obviously, it’s not a spirit herb, just ordinary grass, but it feels like it’s been alive for a very long time, and the surrounding grass is all withered, only this one remains evergreen!"
"It’s not just that grass, but this tree too!"
They continuously discovered anomalies.
This group of cultivators explored a round, then individually took some exotic herbs and left.
Li An quietly followed Qin Yan into Luofang City. Upon seeing her immediately report to the small courtyard where the True Core Evil Cultivator resided, Li An left relieved.
Before leaving, he fabricated a rumor in the city: Qin Yan and her group of cultivators discovered a Seven-Colored Divine Bird in the Wind Mountain Range and obtained Immortal Herbs.
This rumor quickly spread.
Li An was not worried about anyone tracing the source of this rumor because there were several people who went to the Wind Mountain Range with Qin Yan. Who knows who leaked it?
Of course, to prevent someone from capturing them all for soul searching, Li An took preemptive action and outright eliminated two of the cultivators, making them disappear from this world entirely.
In this way, the source of the rumor was dead with no evidence, and even if anyone pursued it, they would assume it was leaked by the two deceased, and they brought death upon themselves by divulging the rumor.
...
He quickly returned to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Two days later, he returned to Evil Spirit Lake, knowing that during this time no one had come to disturb him, slightly putting his mind at ease, then he buried himself in creating arrays.
According to the New Dao Alliance’s requirements, these arrays were primarily trap arrays and killing arrays, used to set ambushes and deal with Evil Cultivators.
Based on the Evil Cultivators’ requirements, a backdoor needed to be included in these trap arrays and killing arrays, to facilitate the Evil Cultivators gaining the upper hand, and in turn, annihilating the New Dao Alliance.
Li An pondered for a long time, and after thorough research with Shangguan Xiaoxiao, they finally determined the method for making the arrays.
The arrays Li An was making were actually not problematic, but due to some unexpected factor during the final use, they went wrong--
This way, from the New Dao Alliance’s perspective, they would think it was merely an issue with Li An’s array-making skills.
From the Evil Cultivators’ perspective, Li An indeed helped them out. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
After all, it was still undecided who would win between the Evil Cultivators and the New Dao Alliance. Directly exposing himself to either side would be very troublesome, so taking advantage was best.
It was only because he had guidance from a master like Shangguan Xiaoxiao that he was able to achieve this, otherwise, it would have been impossible.
While creating the arrays, Li An was also closely monitoring the developments in the Emperor Origin Realm.
And he planned to personally visit the vicinity of the Wind Mountain Range again after some time!
No other reason, Li An had to ensure that his setup truly lured both the high-ranking Evil Cultivators and Dao Sect figures over.
Otherwise, Li An wouldn’t dare to go near the Supreme Xuan Mountain Range!
He still made two plans in his mind. If his strategy succeeded and those big shots all went to the Emperor Origin Realm, then he could take a risk to act on the true entrance of the Supreme Xuan Mountain Range.
If that didn’t succeed over there, then Li An was ready to make a direct escape.
This would be safer overall, and even though his body in the secret realm might be discovered, it’s just a "possibility", which is better than being directly exposed.
"Additionally, within the New Dao Alliance, there is a Divinity Transformation Stage expert, this person is also a trouble..."
This considerably troubled Li An.
His plan, even if successful at diverting the high ranks of both the Dao Sect and Evil Cultivators, the Alliance Leader of the New Dao Alliance might not necessarily leave...
He even had to consider another issue: even if things went smoothly in the Emperor Origin Realm over there, would the experts of the Dao Sect all rush over in a swarm?
Wouldn’t there be some experts left behind in the Primordial Spirit Realm here?
