Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 397 - 249: Scheming Against Two Major Factions (Long - )
The purpose of Li An coming here is very simple.
If the high-level members of the Dao Sect have already sensed something and are paying attention to the traces of Evil Cultivators in the Emperor Origin Realm, then this Daoist Temple is likely somewhat unusual.
He pretended to be a Loose Cultivator intending to borrow the transmission array to Daozhou, but when he went to inquire, he was told that the transmission array could not be activated recently.
Li An understood immediately!
He left the Emperor Origin Realm at once, quickly returning to the Primordial Spirit Realm. He did not immediately return to Evil Spirit Lake but first circled around the Supreme Profound Mountain Range.
He did not get close but chose some locations several thousand miles away from the Supreme Profound Mountain Range to set up arrays.
This is the escape route he prepared for himself!
"Hmm, there are also some resources, like the Red Infant Flower, that need to be hidden for now. These things aren’t needed at the moment, and carrying them might actually be disadvantageous..."
He carefully selected and finally found an extremely secret cave, hidden behind a waterfall. The entrance was very difficult to find.
Li An set up an array here to hide the place.
Later, he planned to transplant the Red Infant Flower here.
...
Returning to the Evil Spirit Lake in the Thousand Water Rhythm Continent took more than half a month.
"Master, three days ago, a summons from the New Dao Alliance came, requiring all Nascent Soul cultivators to head there immediately. We don’t know what’s going on..."
Li Shuangshuang respectfully presented a summons to him.
Li An glanced at it, his expression suddenly serious. This summons was actually issued by someone at the Divinity Transformation Stage!
That makes sense, though. Even though the New Dao Alliance is powerful, every Nascent Soul cultivator is a figure with authority. If it weren’t for such a high-ranking figure personally issuing the order, the various Nascent Soul cultivators might not pay attention.
Li An naturally had to go as well.
"I understand."
Li An said, instructed Li Shuangshuang to leave, and then immediately used the Jade Talisman given to him by Gao Tai to communicate with him— 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Soon after, Gao Tai quietly arrived at the Evil Spirit Lake and immediately asked upon meeting, "Brother Gu, what’s up? You called me at this critical moment; is there something urgent?"
Li An nodded, saying, "Brother Gao, do you... do you know what’s happening with the Jiang Clan?"
There was some unease on his face.
Gao Tai looked puzzled. "The Jiang Clan? What’s happening over there..."
Upon hearing this, Li An was immediately anxious, "You don’t know?"
Gao Tai said, "Don’t panic, Brother Gu. Tell me, what exactly is going on..."
Li An stamped his foot and said, "It’s bad, really bad!
He immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to Gao Tai, saying, "A few days ago, Jiang Shangfeng and Shee Anqi from the Jiang Clan suddenly came to me, asking me to refine several arrays for them. These arrays were particularly difficult and seemed to be for suppressing evil. I became suspicious and asked a little, finding out that a big figure from the Dao Sect was at the Jiang Clan, likely someone from Evil Suppression Peak. How could you not know?"
"Such a big event, and you all don’t know. Isn’t the matter of the Supreme Profound Mountain Range hanging in the balance?"
Li An was extremely anxious.
Upon hearing this, Gao Tai was also very shocked, hurriedly picked up the jade slip from Li An, and started reading, his hand trembling slightly.
"This, this..."
In fact, he couldn’t understand the array information on the jade slip at all and already felt somewhat panicked inside!
Dao Sect!
Who in the world doesn’t know those two words?
Standing in the Spirit Realm for countless ages, it can be said to be the true ruler of the Spirit Realm. Even the Evil King, whom Gao Tai and the others follow, had been suppressed by the powerhouses of the Dao Sect for countless years, forced to flee to the New Continent...
And now, members of the Dao Sect are here?
Moreover, could they possibly be from Evil Suppression Peak?
Damn...
The first thought in Gao Tai’s mind was to run away...
Faced with such a colossal presence as the Dao Sect, he was truly frightened!
"Brother Gao, you must quickly think of a way to report this matter upwards, and let the higher-ups decide what to do..."
Li An spoke.
Gao Tai said, "Yes, yes, report it quickly, report it quickly..."
He turned to leave with the jade slip, a bit flustered, but then realized and urgently added, "Brother Gu, this matter must remain confidential, not to be told to anyone, anyone!"
After saying that, he quickly left...
After Gao Tai left.
Even though he had completed all his planned steps, Li An did not relax. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, and his mind was highly concentrated!
Replaying, his mind continuously went over the details, frantically analyzing every detail and possibility...
"After Gao Tai reports the news to the high-level Evil Cultivators, what will the high-level Evil Cultivators do?"
"For the high-level Evil Cultivators, now the Windfield Mountain Range in the Emperor Origin Realm must be more important to them than the Supreme Profound Mountain Range in the Primordial Spirit Realm."
"Because here we’ve only discovered some Exotic Herbs, but over at the Windfield Mountain Range, they’ve discovered a Divine Bird leading the way!"
"Moreover, the life substances that can be analyzed from the herbs I refined are richer than those in the Supreme Profound Mountain Range."
"If I were a high-ranking Evil Cultivator, knowing that people from the Dao Sect’s Evil Suppression Peak were in the Primordial Spirit Realm and had obtained a jade slip, potentially analyzing Li Yunxiao’s intention to awaken Celestial Blood, would I let it go?"
"No, I would destroy the Jiang Clan in the Primordial Spirit Realm! Because for the lineage of the Evil King, an emerging genius with Evil-Suppressing Celestial Blood is absolutely intolerable, at least the arrays needed for Li Yunxiao’s ceremony to awaken must be destroyed, or it would be too much of a threat to the Evil King line."
"Since I must destroy the Jiang Clan, when is the best time to act?"
"Naturally... during chaos!"
"When a great battle breaks out at the Windfield Mountain Range, drawing the attention of the Dao Sect... that’s the best time to launch a surprise attack on the Jiang Clan."
Li An carefully pieced together the logic chain.
