Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!
Chapter 1108 - 893: Qihan Mountain
Originally, he wanted to blurt out and ask for more money, but when Qu Luming saw the slightly hunched figure due to weariness, a complex emotion intertwined in his heart, mixed with a touch of reluctance.
Ye Fan was his confidant, personally rescued and cultivated by him till now, yet now he openly betrayed him and pushed his benefactor to a desperate situation. This must have left Du Li physically and mentally exhausted;
As his alter ego, trusted and heavily utilized, he also had to betray and leave him, causing a sense of guilt.
Speaking honestly, Du Li is not bad. Especially in dealing with him as an alter ego, most of the time it almost amounted to indulgence, not to mention taking advantage occasionally.
Since the decision to leave was made, he should try to help with the aftermath as much as possible, as a way of not failing the grace of his creation.
"I’ll think of a way, you quickly try to find the Pill Formula." Qu Luming replied sullenly, his eyes turning with the Profound Light Instrument, seeing more familiar deceased Demon Cultivators, feeling a tightness in his chest.
Du Li replied crisply and decisively, "Let’s split into three groups; you go find Ye Fan’s whereabouts; I’ll continue guarding here; let the Alliance Leader attend the Gathering of All Realms, if there’s any news on the Pill Formula, notify you immediately."
After circling around without finding any hidden crisis, Qu Luming immediately contacted Hu Zhile to teleport back to the Immortal Ship. The sooner Ye Fan was captured, the sooner troops could withdraw, saving many pointless sacrifices.
"Sir! Mr. Jiang, save me!" He barely stood firm before bowing to Jiang Yuan, anxiously and pale-faced said, "There’s a big matter concerning the survival of thousands of Demon Cultivators, please help me!"
Jiang Yuan thought, what major issue is keeping you busy running in and out again?
This time without avoiding anyone, Qu Luming briefly recounted the situation of Wanmang Mountain, "I wonder what is the cost to use your Treasure Mirror to find Ye Fan’s whereabouts?
It doesn’t matter how much! I must quickly find and capture him back for interrogation, so that Du Li would stop letting numerous soldiers defend Wanmang Mountain."
Oh! The news spread so fast, there have already been more than twenty battles over there?
Amid the shock, Jiang Yuan was a bit curious, whether the attackers were ordinary Demon Cultivators with greed or Evil Cultivators?
If it’s Evil Cultivators, wouldn’t Wanmang Mountain be a brand new point for hunting monsters?
I could completely camp there, capture Evil Cultivators, and steal their lifespan!
Suddenly excited, eager to try, he immediately took out the Treasure Mirror, smiling said, "I said seven-tier and above Pill Formula, you directly demand nine-tier from Du Li, that’s already gaining an advantage;
Moreover, our relationship will soon advance further, using the Treasure Mirror among ourselves, why talk about price. Here, you must be familiar with Ye Fan, place your hands on the mirror, silently sketch his features in your mind, and see if it can be found."
"Thank you, sir!" Qu Luming first expressed gratitude, then silently recalled Ye Fan’s appearance, placing his hands on the Treasure Mirror.
Suddenly hearing a light hum.
The Treasure Mirror, still more than half charged with power, started swiftly.
Flashed for half a minute, the Treasure Mirror lightly sounded giving the final search result.
[Ye Fan: Former Director of the Demon Realm Alliance’s Inspection Department, Leopard Demon from Jinyun Star, Mahayana Realm Demon Cultivator. Similarity to the target over 95%]
[Fang Wenmu: ... Similarity to the target over 92%]
[... Similarity to the target over 90%]
......
Divided into multiple "real-time dynamic small screens" on the Treasure Mirror, each face very similar, amazed the onlookers.
"This Treasure Mirror is so user-friendly, it can even verify names, origins, realms, truly making finding people extremely convenient!"
"Honestly speaking, there are indeed many similar appearances in the world, look at these few, they are practically like twin brothers!"
"Wonder if other worlds have people who look similar to us?"
"There probably are, since all have a face, two eyes, one nose, one mouth, in a boundless world full of wonders, similar people must be numerous."
"Look at these three, quite interesting, one is a mortal, one a Demon Cultivator, one a Demon Cultivator, seemingly cast from the same mold..."
......
Jiang Yuan also found it interesting, then thought, fortunately, this thing is unique in the world, and he uses it judiciously, otherwise, privacy might not be safe.
Though it costs money, it truly provides real-time broadcast, practically a walking location monitor.
What if at night...
"Ahem!" He coughed twice interrupting his own imagination, opening the window showing Ye Fan, "Using a cloak to cover himself tightly, surely it serves to mask his aura and evade Magical Treasure searches. Located at Qihan Mountain, what kind of eerie place is this?"
In the image, Ye Fan fully cloaked in a Black Cloak, briskly entering a cave in a towering mountain, jumping on a boat, the oarsman clad in a rain cape turning, surprisingly a skeleton!
The water’s reflection showed starlit candle flames, layers of corridors carved into the cavernous stone walls, casting ominous shadows and chilling ghosts, catching Jiang Yuan, who was unprepared, off guard.
"Venerable Family didn’t misspeak, truly an eerie place!" Hu Zhile couldn’t help inhaling deeply, quietly explained, "Qihan Mountain is near the Land of the Extreme North, rumored that its Mountain Master has a peculiar temper, a Great Demon Cultivator often harboring Evil Cultivators.
Yet the Mountain Master is extremely powerful, deployed various arrays at Qihan Mountain to maintain peace, as long as no trouble is stirred within the mountain, residence is implicitly allowed.
Using it as a hideout to evade Demon Realm Alliance searches is indeed quite fitting, it seems Ye Fan planned his betrayal meticulously for a long time, even preparing an escape route."
Seeing everyone bewildered, she added, "I once luckily visited for tracking a Treasure’s whereabouts, leaving a profound impression. Many high-realm Great Demon Cultivators reside there, but due to the Mountain Master’s rules, it’s safe as long as you abide by them after entering."
