Chapter 567: Chapter 294: Kill Li Yunxiao (Long Chapter)

"The ascension ceremony is just around the corner, all the immortals of the Dao Sect are here... Are you mad?"

Li An frowned as he looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao. Her courage... was indeed a bit too much.

Even though Shangguan Xiaoxiao had the protection of Taiqingzi, coming to him like this was still very risky.

"Don’t worry, those immortals are all busy welcoming the Southern Sea Immortal Wind, and everyone else is preparing for the ascension. No one’s watching you here."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled, walked up to Li An, and looked at him sitting on a meditation mat. Suddenly, she said, "That’s not right, Li Gou, people have come to kill you, and you’re just sitting here like this? That’s not your style."

The puppet placed on the mat by Li An suddenly vanished. Then, he emerged from under the mat, cautiously using his divine sense to perceive the surroundings.

"Don’t worry, with Master here, no one can harm you."

In Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s beautiful eyes, there was a gleam of amusement. She inexplicably felt a sense of relief because, through that puppet, she had confirmed that Li An... was cultivating in demon skills.

"Have you absorbed the mysterious aura?"

"Yes."

"That’s good."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "With this, I can be at ease."

"Did you just say goodbye?" Li An asked.

"Yes, my sister is also on the island. When the Southern Sea storm strikes, I will kill her."

She felt at ease and smiled, "Of course, I might also be killed by her."

"There’s no need!"

Li An shook his head, "According to Taiqingzi’s plan, becoming immortal amidst the mysterious is what you should be doing. As for the hatred between you and her, we can deal with it later."

"Li Gou, you don’t understand."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled sadly, "You can wait her out, but I can’t."

"My mother’s soul is in her hands."

Li An’s brows furrowed as he stared at her.

"I am half-siblings with Shangguan Shengxian,"

As though making a final farewell, she finally spoke about the past and secrets buried deep inside, saying: "When she was seven, her mother died. At that time, the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, who is my father, married my mother, and then I was born."

"She hated my mother. She was very talented and worked hard in cultivation. In the year the Dao Sect destroyed our Demon Sect, she took the opportunity to kill my mother and imprisoned my mother’s soul within her."

"Over the years, she took control of the Demon Sect, discovering and devouring many former Demon Sect experts one by one. She’s even obtained the coffin of the Demon Emperor and is about to become immortal."

"When she ascends, she will kill my mother and cut off the last tie of her heart."

"Therefore, I must kill her."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s words were both sorrowful and calm.

Li An suddenly understood why the two princesses of the Demon Sect wouldn’t stop fighting each other even after the Demon Sect’s collapse... it was not only about the benefits of inheriting the Demon Sect but also this old grudge.

"Alright, talking about these things with you doesn’t help... Li Gou, if I die, when you are strong enough to beat her, avenge me!"

"No help."

Li An said coldly, "Your own revenge, you handle it yourself."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn’t get angry but laughed, taking a step closer and pulling Li An’s face into a pig face, saying, "You will."

"Dear apprentice, live well, Immortal Dao Everlasting!"

"Hmm, also, I’ve buried some treasures in the New Continent, the location is... only you can open it, find it if you need it!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

After saying this, her figure slowly disappeared—

"Hey—"

Li An watched her, "Don’t you want the new flavor of the De Fu Pill?"

"No need, Li Gou, actually, too many De Fu Pills are quite cloying!"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao had already left.

After she left.

Li An quickly put the puppet back out, hiding under the meditation mat again. After all, with Shangguan Xiaoxiao here, it was safe. With her gone, if someone came again, it would be hard for Li An to resist.

He thought silently.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn’t be persuaded. She would certainly make a move against Shangguan Shengxian.

Help her kill Shangguan Shengxian? Li An was self-aware.

Even if he turned into a mysterious creature, it would be difficult to fight Shangguan Shengxian.

What he was thinking was that this matter might create some opportunities for him...

During the ascension ceremony, all the geniuses attacking the Immortal Dao would fall into the mysterious. Each of them could be said to be unable to spare any time.

The immortals of the Dao Sect would only watch and not interfere. Moreover, they needed to maintain the operation of the massive formation to prevent the excessive impact of the Southern Sea Immortal Wind on the Spirit Realm.

After all, the Dao Sect does not truly wish for the three hundred years of chaos to reoccur.

So, Li An anticipated that most of the power of the immortals and high-ups of the Dao Sect would be trapped in the formation and unable to extricate themselves.

However, to respond to unexpected situations, the Dao Sect top level would have definitely made contingency plans, and there would certainly be some mobile forces present!

Previously, Li An hesitated to kill Tan Qingxue and her husband, precisely because of this.

If it attracted an Immortal-Level expert from the Dao Sect, Li An would be crying without tears.

But now, once the battle between Shangguan Shengxian and Shangguan Xiaoxiao breaks out... it will certainly draw the attention of the Dao Sect.

After all, these two people obtained the mysterious Dao marks and were considered the greatest threat under heaven. To eliminate them, the Immortal-Level experts of the Dao Sect would certainly act—from a certain point of view, Shangguan Xiaoxiao might also harbor such plans. She might not be a match for Shangguan Shengxian, but drawing the immortals of the Dao Sect, they might perish together!

Overall, the situation would grow increasingly chaotic.

If Li An did something... there might be opportunities for him as well.

After thinking it through, Li An decided...

to take a gamble!

Of course, calling it a gamble, he would also act according to the situation. If things didn’t look right, he would retreat quietly, choosing to act when he was confident.

Leaving the puppet in place, Li An quietly sneaked out of seclusion.
