Li Changshou was extremely glad at that moment…

Fortunately, I had come with Elder Wan Linyun…

If I could not hold him back, this old man would have really charged forward and faced that group of burly men head-on!

1

The place was 2,500 kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect. It was equivalent to the border of the Immortal Du Sect’s “famous territory”.

According to the rules set by the East Continent, the resources and spirit meridians that were located within two thousand kilometers from the Immortal Du Sect would all belong to the Immortal Du Sect.

The other party had deliberately set up the high-level Hidden array and Concealment array at such a precise distance that the Immortal Du Sect could not detect them at all…

The actions of the people inside were already very problematic!

However, it seems a little tyrannical to form a feud just like that. 

However…

When Elder Wan Linyun took out a Dharma treasure that looked like the Yin-Yang Twin Fishes, he pulled Li Changshou’s paper avatar and silently entered the array formation underground…

If it wasn’t for Li Changshou’s quick reflexes that allowed him to stop Wan Linyun, the late-stage Heaven Immortal, the latter would have already charged out and roared furiously, “Bastard, you are courting death!”

Without Li Changshou, the demonic aura within Wan Linyun would surge and his negative karma would accumulate.

There were dozens of great demons in the array. Their cultivation levels were at the Perfected Immortal realm and Heaven Immortal realm!

Apart from that, there were more than a hundred people. Most of them were at the Perfected Immortal realm, and there were more than ten Heaven Immortals…

Elder Wan Linyun turned to glare at Li Changshou. Just as he was about to transmit his voice, Li Changshou gestured for him to keep quiet.

He took out two jade pendants and handed one to Elder Wan Linyun.

It was ‘Heart Jade’, one of the trinkets that Li Changshou made.

The two of them held the jade pendant and could communicate through telepathy. There were no immortal powers, Dharmic powers, Primordial Energy, and air fluctuations. They were all well-hidden.

The disadvantage was that they could not stray too far from each other.

Li Changshou transmitted a message psychically. “Elder, you can think of what you want to say in your heart. I can hear it.”

“Ah! Changshou, why are you stopping me!?!”

Elder Wan Linyun gritted his teeth and thought, When I destroy these demons, I’ll kill the scums who are associated with them!

“Elder, don’t be impatient. Don’t panic… Calm down. Impulsiveness is a demon!”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Elder, can you tell me how you intend to destroy these demons?”

“I’m going to use my mystical abilities and poisonous pills, of course!”

“Just charge forward?”

“When it comes to sneak attacks, we must launch an attack first and defeat one or two of them in an instant!”

Elder Wan Linyun probably felt that the other party did not notice him. He calmed down and reminded Li Changshou,”When encountering such a situation in the future, Changshou, you should not be rash. You will definitely be in danger if you are surrounded.”

“But I’m not afraid! The closer they are to me, the more effective the poisonous pills and Poison Technique will be!”

Li Changshou transmitted his voice in his heart, “But Elder, think about it. What if you get injured and die here? We’re outnumbered by them. That’s one factor.”

“We have only roughly sensed their realm. If a Golden Immortal is hiding here and intentionally lures us into the trap, that would be the second thing to be wary of…”

Elder Wan Linyun frowned. There seemed to be an expression on his usually-expressionless old face, which suggested that he was deep in thought.

Changshou’s words make sense.

Li Changshou continued to dissuade him.

“Elder, you will definitely unleash your power in a while. With the mystical abilities that you have taught me and the poisonous pills that you have accumulated for tens of thousands of years, it will not be a problem to kill those enemies.”

“However, what if they realize that something is amiss and flee in all directions? Wouldn’t that leave behind a hidden danger to the sect? That’s the third factor we have to consider.”

“That’s true.” Elder Wan Linyun agreed.

Li Changshou added, “Although there are many Heaven Immortals here, there are also humans, demons, and spirits. Elder, look, the people, demons, and spirits are mixed together, but there is no communication between them. Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t humans be closer to humans, while demons get closer to demons?”

“Elder, take a look! The two big demons with blue fur have similar auras and are mixed with each other. They must have been together all year round. If they’re not brothers, they might be husband and wife. Of course, they could also be homo… Ahem, okay, they’re indeed a thousand feet away from each other now…”

“Look at it, look carefully. There must be something unusual about this.”

“It is highly possible that these people, demons, and spirits have already had their conscious taken away by others! Just like the Qi Refinement cultivators who attacked Uncle-Master Jiu Wu and the others outside the Golden Palace Sect, they might merely be puppets!”

“This is the fourth…”

Elder Wan Linyun squinted and nodded slowly. He felt somewhat ashamed.

The old man said in his heart, “It’s a good thing that you accompanied me here. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have made a huge mistake!”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Elder, you are a man of integrity. You are not an insidious person, to begin with. It is normal for you not to think about this. I was just thinking about these things previously and was worried that something like this would happen. I didn’t expect that it would actually happen…”

“Sigh, Changshou, what do you think we should do?”

Li Changshou secretly heaved a sigh of relief…

He had finally convinced Elder Wan Linyun.

Li Changshou asked in his heart, “Elder, have you refined a drug or a poisonous pill that is mild and hard to detect?”

“Of course I do. Why do we need it?”

Elder Wan Linyun’s eyes were filled with a look of puzzlement. “Can’t we use the strongest poison directly?”

“If we release the poisonous fog here, these enemies would immediately react and flee, just like how a rabbit will definitely jump out of a Pill Furnace.”

“However, if the lid of the Pill Furnace slowly turns hot and the rabbit loses consciousness first, it will be roasted unknowingly…”

Elder Wan Linyun’s eyes lit up. He smiled coldly at Li Changshou and thought That’s true.

The elder took out seven or eight porcelain bottles from his ring and whispered,

“These can intoxicate a Heaven Immortal’s essence soul and make his body numb. It is called the Soul Intoxication Powder.”

Li Changshou blinked and asked, “Could it be that this pill is also made from your formula?”

“That’s right.” Elder Wan Linyun sneered again. “I was the one who came up with it out of boredom. After all, poisonous pills are too overbearing. However, the refinement process of this item is complicated. Therefore, the formula for it is not included in the Poison Sutra that I gave you previously. I will teach you when we get back.”

Li Changshou praised, “Elder, I have already obtained the pill formula in the Outer Hall. It was recorded in a damaged jade slip. I didn’t expect it to be a precious pill that you created, Elder.”

“Haha… Take these for self-defense. I’ve forgotten about this before. This is just an incapacitating agent. It’s suitable for your self-defense.”

Elder Wan Linyun casually stuffed the porcelain bottles into Li Changshou’s hands. Afraid that Li Changshou would refuse, he immediately took out more than ten porcelain bottles from his ring.

Li Changshou had seen the Poison Immortal’s reserve of poisonous pills…

He was jealous.

Those were his assets!

Li Changshou truly admired Elder Wan Linyun’s penchant for giving whenever he was unhappy.

Coincidentally, Li Changshou liked to take, take, take!

“Changshou, can I attack now?” Wan Linyun asked.

Li Changshou continued in his heart, “Elder, I think this place is just the vanguard of the other party. If they want to attack our sect, it is impossible that there are only so few experts. It’s best not to let any of them go.”

“In that case, Changshou, how should we use these incapacitating agents to keep these thieves here?”

“You should first use your immortal powers to cover the entire array formation from underground. Then, you can let the incapacitating agent slowly seep out from underground…

“There’s no need. I’ve refined quite a few of them. I wanted to use them to trap the enemies instead of killing them.”

Elder Wan Linyun answered in his heart and revealed a smile.

What he admired the most was Li Changshou’s personality and the fact that he never liked to keep all the treasures for himself.

According to Li Changshou’s guidance, Elder Wan Linyun used eighteen bottles of Soul Intoxication Powder.

He used wisps of immortal power to send the incapacitating agent to the feet of the people who were hiding. Then, he allowed the incapacitating agent to slowly spread out.

Li Changshou was still worried and kept reminding him telepathically.

“Elder, give more to those great demons. Their resistance is much stronger than that of us humans…”

“Elder, be careful. The immortal power fluctuations might disturb them.”

“Elder, you must pay extra attention to those on the tree…”

An hour later…

The array was silent. A few figures fell from the tree and landed on the ground like sandbags…

Beneath the ground, Elder Wan Linyun marveled. He was about to rush out to kill these people.

“Elder!”

Li Changshou hurriedly pulled the elder and said, “Why do we have to go out now? What if someone purposely pretends to be unconscious in a bid to lure us to appear? Wouldn’t we be falling into their trap?”

“Hmm, you’re right, Changshou. What should we do next?”

Li Changshou thought and said, “Use the same method to release the poison… However, this time, it has to be a fierce and powerful poison that will not give the other party any chance to retaliate.”

“We have to consider that they will be able to escape from the effects of the incapacitating agents when they are in a life-and-death situation, so will their essence souls and souls…”

As he spoke, Elder Wan Linyun kept nodding to express his approval.

The elder’s eyes were filled with kindness and warmth.

Previously, Elder Wan Linyun had been worried…

He was worried that Li Changshou’s cultivation level was too low and could not exert the effects of the poisonous pill and end up wasting those pills that he had painstakingly refined.

However, what happened today made Elder Wan Linyun realize… that his disciple was much more compatible with the Dao of poison than him!

After Li Changshou gave a few more instructions, he said, “If you have doubts, you can kill those great demons first. I have Soul-Bewitching Pearls that can search for their incomplete memories and determine their origins.”

“If these human Qi Refinement cultivators attack, it would not be too late for us to kill them. Anyway, they’re just demons and we can just kill them.”

“Alright!”

Elder Wan Linyun agreed. After some thought, he decided to use his full strength.

The elder lifted his bronze staff from the ground and pointed it upwards. Wisps of thick green poisonous fog spread out from the ground and entered the bodies of the demons that had been bewitched.

Not long after, the demons started trembling.

At first, Li Changshou was a little worried. After all, he did not do it himself. Without the array formation to suppress him, he had wasted too much time and did not have any other tricks up his sleeves. Perhaps, one or two demons’ souls might really escape…

However, not long after, Li Changshou was also shocked.

What a powerful Heaven Immortal poison!

It was a lethal poison that could kill the essence soul of the demon of the Heaven Immortal realm!

Very quickly, all the great demons in this place revealed their true forms. A few high-level cultivators waved their hands a few times, but nothing happened.

Their auras were gone, but their demonic power was still full.

Elder Wan Linyun was about to leave when Li Changshou stopped him once again.

It was the umpteenth time…

Why is this elder always trying to come out of the ground? He can just do everything underground!

“Changshou, are we still not going?”

Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “Elder, do you have the True Samadhi Flames or powerful True Flames? Just burn them from far away.”

Wan Linyun said, “Of course I do. I have some True Flames called the Omni-poison Soul-Refining Flames. Its power is above the True Samadhi Flames.”

The skinny old man immediately followed Li Changshou’s instructions and released balls of flames underground…

If someone was watching the array from the sky, they would probably be able to see a horror story.

The figures that were hiding here first fainted silently, and those demons were gradually engulfed by the poisonous fog. Soon, their bodies twitched and they died without struggling at all…

Then, green flames appeared on the ground and devoured the bodies of the demons, producing piles of ashes…

From beginning to end, the demons did not struggle at all. They left peacefully…

The people who had been bewitched did not notice anything.

At this moment, a figure finally emerged from the ground.

She was a young woman in a long dress. She held a pearl in her hand and walked through the pile of ashes.

The Soul-Bewitching Pearls extracted remnant souls, and searched for memory fragments…

After a while, a thick fog emerged from the ground, destroying the essence soul of the human Qi Refinement cultivators.

Flames rose, and the interior of the concealment array… was green.

The young lady paced back and forth while the Soul-Bewitching Pearl spun rapidly…

All of a sudden, a streak of sanguine light emerged from the green fire and flew towards the young lady, piercing her neck.

The lady tilted her head and turned to look at the sanguine light. Then, she patted it gently.

Crack!

A mosquito with bloodied wings and a black body was killed by the woman.

Another ray of sanguine light was about to fly over, but it was engulfed by balls of True Flames, instantly turning into a ball of blood.

The mosquito was not a real mosquito. It seemed to be formed from condensed blood and put together through mystical abilities.

At the same time, Daoist Wen Jing, who was dressed in the blood-colored robe, opened her eyes in a stone cave near a spirit mountain in the Aparagodānīya Continent. Her eyes were filled with shock.

She had been collecting puppets for a period of time. How could one-third of them be destroyed without a sound?

Due to the fact that she was too far away, Daoist Wen Jing took a long time to realize that something was amiss.

Most importantly… who was that woman just now?

Why couldn’t I find her essence soul? 

Could it be that some expert had taken action?

Daoist Wen Jing narrowed her eyes and felt a little wary.

The casualties may have caught her off guard.

However, the three most important Qi Refinement cultivators of the Golden Ao Island were not affected because they were hiding behind the Blood Lotus. Their plan had not failed completely.

Daoist Wen Jing continued to close her eyes to sense the array. However, she could no longer “see” what was happening inside the array.

The puppets were all dead.

In the forest in the East Continent.

Underground.

As they captured the light, Li Changshou and Wan Linyun exchanged glances…

Elder Wan Linyun’s thoughts were rather simple. He sighed deep down.

“Fortunately, Changshou, you are very alert. If we get ambushed, the Immortal Du Sect would be in danger!”

Li Changshou, on the other hand, was thinking too much…

Mosquitoes?

It could control one’s mind through mosquitoes?

Was there such a powerful mosquito during the Primordial World? 

Could it be that… the Holy Mother of The Turtle Spirit had sucked dry the disciples of Jie School, as well as the twelfth-grade Golden Lotus and third-grade Bloodied-wing Black Mosquitoes!?!

Could she really be this big boss?

The Primordial world is really dangerous! 

“Elder, don’t go out. Use the True Flames to burn this place.”

“Sure!”

At that moment, tragic green flames filled the air, and the trees were engulfed by the flames.

Another hour later, the interior of the array was extremely clean. There was not a single trace left behind. The ground was barren, and not a single blade of grass could be seen.

A few figures emerged from the ground. They quickly used their Dharma powers to gather all the ashes together.

They also stored all the remaining and burned storage Dharma treasures, into a few treasure pouches together with other treasures.

Then, one of them held a wooden fish and knocked it lightly. The rest of them began to recite the sutras.

Underground, Wan Linyun asked in confusion, “Changshou, what are you doing?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Reciting the sutras and dispelling the karma. If the remnant soul is unable to be absorbed by the Soul-Bewitching Pearl, I’ll send them to the underworld to reincarnate and avoid future troubles.”

“Later, Elder, you will strike again and shatter these ashes before scattering them everywhere. Bury them where they should be.”

“Cultivation is supposed to be about taking in the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Allow them to return to nature after they die. This is also in line with the Dao of the Immortal Du Sect.”

Elder Wan Linyun nodded with a smile.

When the chanting stopped, the Poison Immortal waved his Daoist robe in the ground. The huge pile of ashes floated up and landed in various parts of the array formation.

Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart.

Perfect…

Although I did not do it personally…

The sense of accomplishment is still there…

Elder Wan Linyun blinked. “Perfect? What do you mean?”

Li Changshou quickly said, “Oh, I mean we don’t have to worry anymore.”

Then, he quickly put away the jade pendant in his hand and stopped transmitting his thoughts.

Elder Wan Linyun recalled the entire process of the two of them killing the enemy. He felt a surge of emotions in his heart as he looked at Li Changshou…

He liked him even more.

Then, those figures drilled into the ground and turned into paper effigies, which Li Changshou kept in an empty treasure pouch.

He had to disinfect it before he could continue using it…

He did not dare to underestimate Elder Wan Linyun’s poison.

“Elder, let’s go back. Leave these things and the Soul-Bewitching Pearls to the sect. Let them deal with them.”

“Alright.”

“By the way, Elder, there’s another matter. This time, please don’t say that I was here…”

And was doing that.

Li Changshou instructed him along the way. While being underground, they slipped back to the Immortal Du Sect…
