Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 449 - 263: Fame Shakes the Dao Sect (Long - )
Li An was defeated.
On the arena, Li An, who had endured for an hour, had blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, was pale-faced, and his body was covered in wounds.
On the other side, Song Qingsong was not without injuries but hadn’t hurt his core, and his expression was indifferent.
"Brother Song has won, you can kill me now..."
Li An gave a bitter smile.
But Song Qingsong shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Li An, you can leave."
Li An had defeated Long Lü without killing him, even sought medical treatment for him, which had already earned the praise of the surrounding onlooking disciples. Now, if Song Qingsong won and killed Li An, how could he sustain his position in the Dao Sect?
He would be scolded to death by public backlash!
--This was the confidence that allowed Li An to dare to lose to him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Li An bowed in salute.
"However, there’s one thing,"
Song Qingsong continued, speaking coldly, "Before you leave the arena, you must apologize to Chen Ning!"
He would not kill Li An, not because he had some mutual regard or affection for him, but purely to consider his own reputation, yet he also wouldn’t easily let Li An go.
Especially because this time he was standing up for Chen Ning.
Naturally, he had to let his woman gain enough face!
At this moment, Chen Ning shouted loudly, "Senior Brother Qingsong... you cannot release him, he is insincere!"
She bit down heavily on the word sincerity, making her meaning very clear.
She had worked hard for fifty years, first getting close through various means, even serving others, and now inciting Song Qingsong to take action, finally cornering Li An... how could she let him off easily?
"That’s right, Li An, Senior Brother Da shows great generosity in sparing you, but won’t you show some sincerity?"
Zhao Nangeng spoke with a smile.
"In exchange for your life, can’t you show some sincerity? Do you always want to be stingy?"
Xie Yang sneered sarcastically.
The goal was only one.
The Cyan Wood Immortal Skill!
The surrounding onlookers were somewhat surprised, everyone keenly sensed that so many people from Evergreen Peak targeting Li An this time must have some motive...
"To have a True Disciple apologize to a formal disciple... this is somewhat humiliating."
"After all, Li An is a True Disciple..."
"Heh, Li An, despite being from the Demon Sect, acts openly, but the people from Evergreen Peak are somewhat disgraceful..."
Several disciples around spoke out.
Li An was silent for a moment.
As a True Disciple, who would want to bow and apologize to a formal disciple?
Moreover, being forced to apologize to a woman after being defeated?
This was a great humiliation...
But inside, Li An was coldly smiling, he raised his head, gave a sad smile, and said, "Sincerity?"
"Alright, I will show you sincerity!"
"Fellow Dao Sect members, Li An has an Immortal Skill scroll, and today I will share it with you all!"
After speaking, Li An directly began to loudly recite:
"The source of Cyan Wood, essentially wood essence, wood essence being the source of life’s qi, an unyielding barrier, born of the Dao..."
He was reciting the Cyan Wood Immortal Skill!
Openly sharing the Cyan Wood Immortal Skill with everyone in Dao Sect!
In fact, Li An had been waiting for this opportunity.
Zhao Nangeng, Long Lü, Chen Ning, and others were merely representations; the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill on Li An was the only hope for most formal disciples. Without a truly strong background to suppress them, troubles would definitely continue.
This wasn’t what he wanted.
Moreover, he initially asked Purple Fairy to help tamper with his Divine Soul memory, making the Cyan Wood Immortal Skill just a distraction; this Immortal Skill wasn’t a precious thing, just the most basic cultivation method of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable lineage.
By making it public, it would prevent thieves from coveting it, which was best.
However, he couldn’t do it too obviously, actively revealing it would easily arouse suspicion.
He had to wait for an opportunity.
Now, the opportunity had arrived!
As Li An loudly recited, his voice thundered through the field, and all the Dao Sect disciples around were stunned.
"Is this... an Immortal Skill?"
"The Cyan Wood Immortal Skill, obtained from that Fairy..."
"Quick, write it down, such a fantastic opportunity has come our way!"
Everyone was excited and hastily recorded it, each person’s gaze fervently fixed on Li An.
Chen Ning and Zhao Nangeng were slightly shocked, not expecting Li An to do this... but they had no time to think too much, the most crucial thing was the Immortal Skill.
They too began to feel, comprehend, and memorize!
...
Li An publicly recited the Immortal Skill at the arena site.
This news quickly spread throughout the Dao Sect. For a moment, even many disciples who hadn’t gone to watch were astounded.
"Damn, just by watching the drama you get an Immortal Skill?"
"I underestimated it, I should have gone earlier..."
"Why bother with closed cultivation, this is a fortune of immortality!"
Everyone was rushing towards the arena side, even some True Disciples were piqued with interest and hurried over...
"Oh? This kid actually went ahead and revealed the Immortal Skill?"
On some mountain peaks, some elders displayed interest, and their figures followed suit.
...
In front of the arena.
Seeing more and more Dao Sect disciples gathering, a large, dark crowd, Song Qingsong, who originally had an indifferent expression and a superior demeanor, was now inexplicably panicked.
He felt an inexplicable fear and anxiety.
"This is bad... with this..."
He sensed an extremely unfavorable outcome!
Especially as he noticed some elders mixed among the crowd...
"Shit..."
His face turned green, instantly realizing.
Li An did this to put him in a difficult position!
By making the Immortal Skill public, so many people received it, Li An essentially sold a tremendous favor to the ordinary disciples of Dao Sect.
