Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 421 - 255: Entering the Game One After Another (Long - ) (Part 4)
The Azure Dragon Realm, one of the new continents today, is said to have been formed from the body of a giant Azure Dragon in ancient times.
The "Dragon’s Fall Continent" in the Azure Dragon Realm, a gigantic gorge shrouded in mist and unfathomable depth. When Li An and Qi Chuanyue landed here together, they discovered several others already waiting for them!
The leader among them was surprisingly Zhan Qingxuan!
Many years had passed, and Zhan Qingxuan had reached Divinity Transformation Perfection but had not yet broken through Refining Void. She was accompanied by three cultivators of extraordinary aura and impressive cultivation.
However, they all concealed their cultivation, appearing only at the level of Nascent Soul!
"Fellow Daoist Qi, you’ve finally come."
Seeing Qi Chuanyue arrive, Zhan Qingxuan stepped forward, "We’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Qi Chuanyue cupped his hands, smiling, "I went to find a helper－－"
"This is Master Zhu, the foremost Alchemy Grandmaster in the Primordial Spirit Realm. With him, entering this place becomes much more convenient."
After speaking, he introduced Li An: "These are Fellow Daoist Master Xuqing, Fellow Daoist Zuoling Mountain..."
Li An nodded but wondered internally, what’s going on here?
Zhan Qingxuan hid her identity and collaborated with Qi Chuanyue?
Things were getting increasingly complex!
Li An was contemplating the relationship between the two.
Zhan Qingxuan had been searching for the secret realm for years, this he knew.
The involvement of both must mean either Zhan Qingxuan found Qi Chuanyue or Qi Chuanyue found Zhan Qingxuan.
The implications of these two possibilities were different.
If Zhan Qingxuan found Qi Chuanyue, it means the Evil King discovered Qi Chuanyue’s identity and attempted to use him.
If Qi Chuanyue found Zhan Qingxuan, it means Zhan Qingxuan or that Jade Parrot were useful to Qi Chuanyue, meaning he was scheming against Zhan Qingxuan.
"No..."
But Li An immediately realized.
How could the Evil King have found out Qi Chuanyue’s identity?!
This was unlikely.
Moreover, the Jade Parrot’s level should be much higher than the Evil King’s.
So, in reality, there was only one possibility－－
No matter how the two met and came together, it must have been the Jade Parrot’s intention.
Zhan Qingxuan seemed to be disguising her identity to use Qi Chuanyue, but from the beginning, they had probably fallen into a higher-level scheme.
The architect, the Jade Parrot!
Even, Li An couldn’t help but be wary; perhaps he was being manipulated as well, intending to draw him into this from the start...
Damn, what exactly did this Jade Parrot want?
Zhan Qingxuan gave Li An a deep look, already smiling, and said: "Welcome, Master Zhu－－"
"In that case, let’s get inside quickly－－"
The group of six immediately entered this enormous chasm, where clouds and mist intertwined, filled with Evil Qi and poison.
"Fellow Daoist Master Xuqing, we must find the root of the Evil here and take it all away. By then, with the Moon Yin of a thousand years in your hands, it will be enough. Follow me－－"
As they ventured deeper, the Evil and poison grew too intense, forcing the group to stop several times.
The next day, storms arose in the valley, where Poisonous Evil winds swept devastative gales, carrying everything away, and even Li An and the others could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
"These winds are strange!"
Li An thought to himself.
...
After seven days and nights of exploration, the group finally reached the deepest part of the chasm, only to see that at the source of the Evil Qi, there were many dilapidated coffins, with the Evil’s root lying there.
As Li An examined closely, he immediately discovered that one of the corpses within the coffins was quite unusual...
Li An quietly used the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill to sense it, instantly realizing that the corpse... was Yun Qian in disguise!
However, her disguise was extremely skillful, so much so that even Li An had not detected her lifeforce and only identified her from the corpse-like aura, as if she was truly dead!
Li An couldn’t help but marvel, Dao Sect indeed had profound depths!
When Li An arrived here, they already knew the location, and that unpredictable wind was most likely caused by Dao Sect, intended to create an opportunity for Daoist Celestial Maiden Yun Qian.
Now, Yun Qian would also be taken along by Qi Chuanyue, thus entering the secret realm...
Dao Sect, the line of the Evil King, they all came...
"Each thinks themselves smart, but all have been outwitted by the Jade Parrot!"
Li An lamented internally, damn it, this situation seemed doomed...
...
Goodnight
