Chapter 563: Chapter 293: Immortals Must Salute When They See Me (Long Chapter)

Li Yunxiao was very cautious. He disguised himself, his whole body shrouded in a black cloak that could also shield Divine Sense detection.

Evidently, he didn’t want anyone to know that he killed Li An.

But Li An’s perception of life force was too keen; he couldn’t deceive Li An.

"Who are you...?"

Inside the retreat chamber, Li An, who was sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, spoke in shock, "You... you came to kill me?"

"What else, to court you?!"

Li Yunxiao’s expression was cold as he stared at Li An, "You, surnamed Li, are merely an ant from a lower realm. Your fate should have been insignificant, yet you insisted on breaking into the Spirit Realm, stirring up chaos. Today’s situation, you brought it upon yourself—" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"You shouldn’t have joined the Dao Sect."

"And you definitely shouldn’t have so many dealings with someone destined to have no connection with you!"

"Therefore, you must die."

Hidden within the black cloak, his words were chilling. Compared to the brilliant genius of the past Evil Suppression Peak, the current Peak Master had gained a gloomy aura.

In some sense, ever since encountering Li An, Li Yunxiao had been quite unlucky...

Back in the Celestial Inference Dao Realm, during the Divinity Transformation stage, he was defeated by Li An. Later, he married Tan Qingxue, only to discover she still had feelings for another. Afterward, Shangguan Xiaoxiao slapped him, leaving his face ruined, a lifetime’s shame.

No wonder he harbored such deep hatred for Li An.

Li An’s expression was grim, "My Great Dao is broken. From now on, I only wish to spend my days in peace. Who am I to hinder? Killing me, what do you gain?"

"Afraid of dying?"

Li Yunxiao sneered, "Kneel and beg me."

Li An’s face looked even worse. He gritted his teeth, "Even if I kneel, you won’t spare me."

"Exactly—"

As the words left his mouth, Li Yunxiao directly attacked, a terrifying Immortal Light erupted in his hand, striking straight at Li An—

Within that Immortal Light, hidden was an Immortal Rope, a Magical Artifact refined by Tianchenzi.

The Immortal Light enveloped, yet Li An’s body also emitted a stream of Immortal Light, forming a barrier, seemingly isolating him from the spot. The vast Immortal Power rendered Li Yunxiao’s Immortal Light ineffective—

However, that Immortal Rope burst forth with a dark blood-red glow. An evil, sinister force emerged, piercing through Li An’s protective shield, like a venomous snake, directly entering the forehead of the puppet Li An—

"Ah—"

The puppet Li An let out a tragic scream. Once the black Immortal Rope entered the body, it vanished, but it tightly bound the puppet Li An’s Primordial Spirit. With just a thought, Li Yunxiao could obliterate the puppet Li An’s Primordial Spirit!

The puppet Li An’s Primordial Spirit was naturally a Pseudo-Soul refined by Li An.

"It’s time to end this—"

Li Yunxiao sneered, about to make his move.

Hidden under the meditation cushion, Li An was slowly activating the Immortal Coffin, ready to unleash heavenly thunder.

But at that moment, Li Yunxiao’s Primordial Spirit suddenly wavered. It felt like he sensed something, and his expression changed drastically, "Who moved my body?!"

His Primordial Spirit exerted all its strength, trying to kill Li An, but it seemed unsustainable. With a loud cry, his Primordial Spirit retreated rapidly—

"Surnamed Li, I will kill you—"

He let out an unwilling roar, his figure disappearing from the cave, not even taking back the Immortal Rope from the puppet Li An.

Under the meditation cushion, Li An: "???"

What’s happening now?

This couple is driving him insane...

Both came to kill him, but neither succeeded?

"Something unexpected must have happened..."

Li An pondered, if Li Yunxiao couldn’t kill him this time... there wouldn’t be many more chances.

Because once this matter was exposed, the upper echelons of the Dao Sect would intervene immediately.

No matter how useless Li An was, he was still an elder of the Dao Sect. Fellow disciples killing each other was a major taboo within the Dao Sect.

With a thought, he immediately used shape-shifting techniques to retrieve the puppet.

Meanwhile, he checked and found that in the puppet’s Spirit Platform, the black Immortal Rope had already pierced through the puppet’s Primordial Spirit, intertwining with it, inseparable.

With just a bit of external force, the Immortal Rope could instantly strangle the puppet’s Primordial Spirit.

This was an Immortal Dao treasure specifically targeting the Primordial Spirit, yet unlike the righteous aura of Dao Sect treasures, it was filled with an evil taste, even mixed with a sinister aura!

Specially used to break Immortal Techniques.

Li Yunxiao actually possessed such an item... This shouldn’t be allowed to be refined within the Dao Sect, right?

Without hesitation, he directly swallowed the puppet’s Primordial Spirit into his own Spirit Platform.

The entwined black Immortal Rope naturally entered his Spirit Platform as well.

After all, once this matter became known, the upper echelons like Withered Fate would certainly inspect Li An. If they found his Primordial Spirit completely unscathed, and the black Immortal Rope missing, Li Yunxiao and those behind him would immediately sense something abnormal, possibly exposing Li An’s secret.

Having done all this, he already sensed someone arriving outside!

It was Zhang Yuan.

Li An felt relieved.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you all right?"

Zhang Yuan spoke as he arrived at the entrance of the cave mansion.

"Help, help..."

Li An lay on the ground, body curled and twisted, face pale, trembling in pain, struggling to speak.

Zhang Yuan rushed in, seeing Li An’s state. He was shocked and hurriedly picked him up, "Not good, not good, someone forged Withered Fate Supreme’s decree, leading me to Nanfu Island. I fell for someone else’s stratagem... Didn’t expect it was targeted at you!"

He quickly took Li An to seek medical attention.
