Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 396 - 249: Scheming Against Two Major Factions (Long - )
Even if it’s only one person, it poses a giant threat to Li An’s plans.
"I must think even deeper..."
Li An pondered, with a slight gleam in his eyes: "If the Dao Sect has experts stationed in the Primordial Spirit Realm, where would they be?"
"Jiang Clan in the South Peak Continent!"
"This is the most likely location!"
"To ensure everything goes smoothly, it’s best to engage their attention when taking action... Once a battle erupts over there, the Alliance Leader of the New Dao Alliance will certainly rush over."
"After all, if the Alliance Leader of the New Dao Alliance already knows about the existence of the Dao Sect and is under their control, he will undoubtedly go to provide aid. If he’s unaware and suddenly senses fluctuations from Divinity Transformation Stage or stronger battles, he too must take a look... What I need to do is seize this opportunity."
As Li An contemplated, another idea formed in his mind.
His plan was quite simple: just embellish the news that the Jiang Clan is working for the Dao Sect and tell Gao Tai.
As long as Gao Tai and his people know that there are Dao Sect individuals coveting in the Primordial Spirit Realm, they will surely find a way to deal with them.
But it’s not the right time now; too early or too late would impact the plan...
He calmed himself, focusing on crafting arrays, not only those needed by Li Chengwang but also others for preparing escape routes.
In the blink of an eye, a year and three months passed.
Until today, Li Chengwang finally came to retrieve the arrays.
"These arrays were indeed difficult and the time was tight, so there are some flaws. I ask for Brother Li’s understanding—"
Li An spoke with some embarrassment.
"Oh, flaws?" Li Chengwang’s brow slightly furrowed.
Li An said: "Yes, these killing and trapping arrays are very powerful, but there is a downside: it requires quite a few people to operate. To ensure the large array’s operation, each controller can manipulate the entire array. Thus, even if a controller at one corner is killed, the array’s operation isn’t affected."
Li Chengwang said: "Isn’t that an advantage?"
"The advantage is also a disadvantage. If any controller harbors ulterior motives or makes a mistake, the array could become chaotic, at best collapsing and exploding, at worst being commandeered by others... One must be vigilant."
Li An solemnly warned!
Li Chengwang pondered; indeed it was a risk, but as long as the chosen controllers are trustworthy and loyal, there shouldn’t be a problem.
"Alright, thank you."
Li Chengwang paid Li An the final payment and took the arrays.
Shortly after he left, Gao Tai quietly arrived.
"How did it go?"
Gao Tai inquired.
"I handed him the arrays, and left a backdoor in all of them."
Li An said: "These killing and trapping arrays are very powerful. As long as you follow my instructions, you can directly reverse-control the large array, and I’ve added certain restrictions. Even if you can’t seize control of the arrays, you can make them self-destruct without being affected!"
Gao Tai chuckled with satisfaction, patting Li An’s shoulder, saying: "Brother Gu, you’ve made a notable contribution this time. In the world of the Primordial Spirit Realm, there will be a place for you!"
Li An also smiled, "Brother Gao, when will you take action?"
"In a month!"
In a month!
Li An’s heart momentarily tightened, after contemplating, he nodded, "Alright!"
"By the way...
The timing for action here has been set, so Li An quickly left Evil Spirit Lake and went to the Emperor Origin Realm one more time for final verification.
He concealed his aura, pretending to be a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, not directly blending into Luofang City. After all, now that the Windfield Mountain Range has become the eye of the storm, Luofang City may be a dragon’s den.
If by chance he bumped into a couple of Dao Sect bigshots, that’d be thrilling.
He gathered news in some remote towns closer to Luofang City.
As he anticipated, news of the Seven-Colored Divine Bird had spread completely!
During this time, many people headed to explore the Windfield Mountain Range. The spots that Li An set up had been visited multiple times, and various Invincible Divine Herbs were hot sellers at major auctions, with a regular herb selling about the same price as a Rank Four Spirit Medicine.
Utterly ludicrous.
Unfortunately, Li An could neither reveal himself nor wish to; otherwise, mass-producing such divine herbs would mean inevitable wealth!
Li An released four Rank Three Spirit Rats near the Windfield Mountain Range!
These Spirit Rats were carefully nurtured by him since his last return, controlled with Beast Taming Skill and Demon Skill; though still alive, they were like puppets.
Li An controlled these Spirit Rats to enter the Windfield Mountain Range. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Their mission was to find the array Li An buried in that pool, then within a month’s time... activate it.
Of course, Spirit Beasts cannot control arrays, but when designing the array, Li An had prepared well, so when these Spirit Beasts attack the array, it automatically triggers —
The four Spirit Rats, advancing from different directions, only needed one to succeed.
Indeed, the pool Li An chose was two thousand miles from where he planted vegetation, sparsely frequented, relatively safe, and if Li An personally blended in, the risk was not high.
But Li An would take no chances, preparing even the Spirit Rats in surplus.
Completing this, he moved to investigate around the Daoist Temple of the Dao Sect in the Central Celestial Continent.
Back then, he and Lin Fangping, through a teleportation array, arrived at the Emperor Origin Realm, landing at "Dao Ling Mountain" in Central Celestial Continent, where the Dao Sect’s Daoist Temple was located.
