Chapter 175: Turning sides in battle and killing Jiang Rilan

A small black snake poked its head out of Madam She's sleeves. She smiled and said, "You have something I want on you. Feed my little spiritual pet."

Li An was slightly surprised.

He did carry some precious "spiritual food" on him!

Spiritual food is for spiritual beasts. His Blue Flame Divine Bird, in addition to absorbing his life seed energy for cultivation, also needs to eat spiritual food as a supplement.

Li An is already quite proficient in the art of taming beasts. He can tell at a glance that Madam She's little black snake should be on the verge of metamorphosis, so the demand for spiritual food will be relatively large.

"I know that spiritual food is precious in this city now, and everyone wants it but cannot get it. So, if you can give me the spiritual food, in addition to telling you the location of the available ownerless third-level spiritual veins, you can also introduce you to the 'mountain master'. In this way, you can truly settle down in the Tiansha Mountains."

Madam She continued.

Li An's heart moved. He walked along the way and indeed found that many places in Tiansha City were collecting spiritual food, which was expensive, but he didn't know why.

"Mountain Master?"

Li An asked directly.

"Don't you know?"

Mrs. She smiled in surprise, "I saw you carrying spiritual food with you, and I thought you knew it."

"There are masters in this Tiansha Mountains."

She whispered, "Everything in the Tiansha Mountains belongs to the 'Mountain Masters'. Only with their permission can you practice and settle here."

"You must have encountered many spiritual beasts on your way into the city, right?"

Li An nodded.

"Those ferocious spiritual beasts must also obey the orders of the mountain master."

Li An was stern.

Among those spiritual beasts, there are many third-level monsters. Even third-level monsters have masters?

Is there a powerful beastmaster?

"The origin of the mountain master is mysterious, but there is a rumor that they are all monsters."

Mrs. She smiled.

Li An suddenly realized!

"Now, there are one or two mountain masters who are in urgent need of spiritual food. If you can offer enough spiritual food, you can get the favor of the mountain master. If you want to settle here, this is the most suitable opportunity." Li An pondered. It was difficult to tell whether Mrs. She's words were true or false, but he felt that most of them should be true. This can support the logic. Although the demon race is different from the spiritual beasts, they also have something in common, so spiritual food is indeed useful to the demon race. Jiang Ribai, who fled here, naturally chose to collect spiritual food for those "mountain masters" in order to settle down in the Tiansha Mountains. What's more, he was born in the Jiang family and knew these things very well. Therefore, it was natural to rob the Jiang family. It happened that in the past few years, Li An's industry was developing and expanding rapidly, so it was normal for him to be robbed. "Thank you, Madam She!" Li An said, "When I came down to Tiansha Mountain Range, I did ask for some information outside. I knew that this spiritual food was in short supply, so I brought some. I didn't expect that there was such a secret." He hesitated for a moment, and immediately took out a purple box, "Thank you Madam She for your advice, Li An has nothing to repay." Although this spiritual food is also quite precious, it is nothing to Li An. It is too easy for him to get these things in Jiang's company. The spiritual food flew gently to Madam She, who took it with one hand. The little snake suddenly became very smart and seemed very excited. "Thank you, fellow Taoist!" Madam She was delighted, "When is fellow Taoist free? I will introduce you to the mountain master now?" Li An shook his head and said, "No need for the time being. I don't have any spiritual food in my hand. It's probably not appropriate to go to the mountain master empty-handed." He needs to further confirm whether Madam She's news is true or false, and he also needs to investigate Madam She herself. This is Tiansha Mountain Range, no one is a simple person! "If what I said is false, I will be struck to death by five thunderbolts."

As if she saw Li An's vigilance, Madam She smiled slightly, swore a poisonous oath, and threw a token to Li An, "This is my token. When you need it, you can take this token to the 'Zhendanzhai' in the city, and someone will naturally lead you to see me."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Madam She turned and left.

From beginning to end, she did not ask Li An's name.

...

Then, Li An changed his appearance in a deserted place and stayed in the city for three or five days.

He focused on inquiring about the relevant information about the "mountain master" and "spiritual food".

With the memory and experience of Chen Cai and others, he acted like an old hand in the city, so he did not suffer any loss and got some information.

Basically confirmed what Madam She said.

The so-called "mountain master" is very secretive, and no one mentioned what his origins are.

But the mountain master seems to be the real owner of the Tiansha Mountains, and has a thousand connections with the demon race.

If it is a foundation-building cultivator or below, it is fine, and you can stay in the city, because Tiansha City also has a second-level spiritual vein, but Jindan cultivators need a third-level spiritual vein. If you want to gain a foothold here, you must get the permission of the mountain master.

The surrounding Mangcang Mountains belong to different mountain masters.

"Demon race..."

Li An frowned slightly.

In fact, after learning about the Tiansha Mountains, he was quite yearning for this place.

There is no other reason, there are indeed many ownerless spiritual veins here.

Most of those ownerless spiritual veins are because evil spirits gather, so no one can set foot on them, but for Li An, they are real treasures.

However, I don't know how deep these mountain masters are...

And he also thought of Tan Qingxue, who was also possessed by a demon clan leader. It's better to be safe than sorry.

"Let's explore it later!"

Li An didn't make a decision in a hurry.

Because he was worried about the Jiang family's expedition, Li An returned to the Jiang family after staying for a few days.

After all, he still needed to prepare a lot of things for the Jiang family.

…

Half a month later.

He returned to Yan State.

But he did not return to the Jiang family directly.

Instead, he crossed the Sijing Mountains on the edge of Dali and Jiang family and sneaked into the northern part of Dali.

The war between Jiang family and Dali will eventually come, and planning in advance is Li An's usual style.

Although he had gone through the route once that year, Li An was still extremely cautious and deduced again and again.

In his opinion, the last time Jiang Ribai was in power, one was that there was a problem within the Jiang family, Jiang Rilan was ready to kill Jiang Ribai, and the other was that Yan State did not participate.

This time, the Jiang family was united, and Yan State also attached great importance to it. The scale would obviously be larger and the war would be more tragic.

Li An thought carefully that if the Jiang family's situation was stable, then Jiang family would definitely keep him in Xingluo Mountain and not let him leave.

However, if the front line collapsed, and even Yuanying-level masters were needed to fight, he would most likely go to the battlefield.

Preparations must be made for both possibilities.

He circled around many places repeatedly, and finally set up many formations along the way!

Over the years, Li An had dozens of second-level formations left, and two sets of third-level formations, all of which were set up in key places.

After doing all this, he found his puppet Zhao Yi again and learned about the situation of Dali in recent years.

Dali is now in its heyday. In the north of Dali, the former Divine Sword Sect and the Hundred Beast Sect have been completely swallowed up by Dali. It is said that there are Yuanying-level masters in Tianyang City now.

After doing all this, it took another ten days before Li An returned to Qingzhou Jiang's.

…

Reported to Jiang Rilan about the situation of Jiang Ribai's investigation, but found nothing, but Jiang Rilan didn't say anything. After all, Jiang Ribai had escaped from Jiang's for a long time, and it was obviously not easy to catch him in a short time.

"Jiang's expedition is imminent, you have to prepare a lot of spiritual food... This is the top priority, at all costs."

After returning to Nanling Peak, he immediately found Sun Jinxue and arranged a series of things.

Raising spiritual food, purchasing a large amount of talisman paper, talisman pens, elixirs, array materials, and various divine golds.

Preparing for the subsequent escape from Jiang's.

At the same time, he directly closed his eyes and made arrays and talismans.

Now, he has nearly a thousand fine third-level talismans on him!

But the third-level array is very scarce, and the only two left are still in Dali.

It is mainly the talisman inheritance given by Shangguan Xiaoxiao. It comes from the Demon Sect. The array is weird and strange, and it is beyond common sense. Even though Li An has a lot of attainments in arrays, it is not easy to learn.

It is not difficult to make.

Of course, the power of these arrays is far greater than that of ordinary third-level arrays, and can even reach the level of "sub-fourth level".

Even if he is a master of the late stage of the True Dan, he will have to pay a heavy price when encountering these formations!

Li An's goal is ten sets of third-level formations and two thousand third-level talismans!

Add to that the four third-level magic weapons he has now, so even if he faces a late-stage True Dan, he may not be without the power to fight.

Li An deeply feels that time and energy are not enough!

Crazyly making talismans and formations, his absorption of the Taiyin Qi and his practice of the Jinzang Jue have slowed down...

Moreover, he has to go out from time to time to plan and prepare for escape.

After all, if he doesn't go to the battlefield and stays with the Jiang family, then when Dali attacks, where to escape from, how to arrange the route, etc. need to be considered.

"Why has the speed of the divine bird's practice slowed down?"

In addition, Li An is also quite puzzled.

The Blue Flame Divine Bird, which originally made rapid progress and practiced far better than human practitioners, now has a tendency to approach him inexplicably...

Could it be that after absorbing the breath of the life seed, it was also affected?

After all, the characteristic of the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art is...slow.

The speed of cultivation will be very slow!

However, Li An did not care much and immersed himself in preparing for the war.

...

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

In a year, Li An finally formulated four routes to escape from the Jiang family.

If Dali really came to attack, the Jiang family would certainly be united in fighting the enemy.

He would find a chance to slip away!

"In one year, our clan has completed preparations. In ten days, we will send troops to the Li Dynasty!"

Jiang Rilan convened the core elders for a secret meeting.

Li An learned that in addition to the Jiang family, many other forces in Yan State would also participate this time.

This war might turn into a decisive battle between Dali and Yan State.

After studying for a long time, the battle plan was finally formulated.

Just as Li An thought, Li An was not sent in the first wave!

Jiang Rihua was responsible for the vanguard attack, and the two Zhendan elders Jiang Riyue and Jiang Ridong were responsible for left and right coordination. In addition, other forces in Yan State also marched together.

Li An said nothing about this. He only needed to wait calmly and escape.

…

Ten days later.

The Jiang army invaded Dali.

For a time, both Yan and Dali were shocked.

In the first three days, Yan's troops went deep into the country and swept across the northern border of Dali without any rivals.

But just one day later, the latest battle report shocked the entire Jiang family:

The Yan coalition was defeated miserably.

A Yuanying-level ancestor of the Jiang family was killed, and the Zhendan elders Jiang Rihua and Jiang Ridong died tragically. Only Jiang Ri escaped and was disabled!

The battle report made Jiang Rilan sit on the chair in the meeting hall, unable to speak for a long time!

The Yuanying ancestor died tragically!

How many years has this kind of thing not happened in the Jiang family?

There are only three Yuanyings in the Jiang family!

Now one is directly lost.

Everyone felt that... Yan had hit a wall.

Dali is strong, very strong!

"The king has ordered a decisive battle with Dali..." Jiang Rilan said solemnly, "Our clan is on the front line of Qingzhou and cannot avoid the battle. This battle... can only be won!" "Everyone in our clan, prepare for the battle!" He gave the order. Li An was also awed. The death of the Yuanying directly raised the intensity of the war... to a higher level. The decisive battle between the two countries is coming. For a time, Qingzhou gathered people and masters from other major forces flocked to it, and a stronger coalition was formed. Even Li An was not spared this time. As the guardian elder of the Jiang family, he led an elite force of hundreds of people and followed Jiang Qingcang, the ancestor of the Jiang family, to go to war. Obviously, Jiang Qingcang was also quite worried about him, so he kept him by his side. Before leaving. "The war has come. Since the peak master is going to the front line, we should follow." On the Nanling Peak, the chief steward Sun Jinxue and a group of confidants spoke. For so many years, they can be said to be loyal to Li An. Lihua and Erniu were also in the hall. Lihua had a worried look in her eyes, but she didn't say a word. She knew that she was already a useless person, so going to the front line would only drag down Li An.

Li An shook his head, "No, I can take Erniu with me to this battle."

He looked at Erniu, "You have my true teachings. If you can make achievements with me this time, after returning, I can ask the family to let you officially marry Jiang's daughter, join Jiang's family, and even compete for the core position!"

Erniu was shocked when he heard this, but a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes for no reason, and then he showed excitement: "Thank you, Master... Erniu will do his best!"

"Okay, you go and prepare quickly."

Li An waved his hand and said, "Lihua, Jinxue, you two stay for a while, I have something to tell you."

Everyone dispersed.

Only Lihua and Sun Jinxue were left.

"After I leave, the affairs on Nanling Peak will be in the hands of the two of you."

Li An picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "Especially, I'm not here, and the other elders are not here either... You should take the opportunity to snatch all their properties!"

As he said, he took out a brocade bag and handed it to Lihua, "Open it after I go on the expedition. There are some arrangements about this matter."

"Manager Sun, Lihua's Dantian is broken and her cultivation is damaged. When the time comes, you have to assist her."

Sun Jinxue felt a little sad. Li An gave the brocade bag to Lihua, obviously trusting Lihua more...

But just as she had the idea, Li An had already handed her a brocade bag, "This brocade bag, you can open it after I leave."

Sun Jinxue felt inexplicably warm in her heart!

"Yes, Jinxue remembers it." She spoke, feeling inexplicably relieved. After many years on Nanling Peak, perhaps at this moment, she finally got some rewards... "You go, after all, this matter is about competing for other people's resources and industries, and it must not be leaked to a third party!" Li An instructed again. "Yes, sir!" Lihua and Sun Jinxue both left. Li An looked at their backs and sighed softly. I hope you can get out smoothly... The brocade bag did not contain any strategy to compete for other people's industries. It was just to cover up. It was a good way to escape! Moreover, he was afraid that Lihua and Sun Jinxue would not trust each other, so he gave each of them a brocade bag, so that they could each control part of the information. In this way, the two of them could only work together. In this huge Jiang family, for decades, only Lihua and Sun Jinxue could make him care a little bit! Even Erniu... Although Li An did not show any signs in these years, he knew that Erniu was actually Jiang's spy!

Erniu would report to Jiang at any time about Li An's information in Nanling Peak.

But Li An did not expose him. Instead, he used Erniu to pass on a lot of false information, which reduced Jiang's vigilance against him.

Now, since he is going to the front line, he should send this little

Take him to die...

Thinking over, he couldn't help but think of what Lihua had said to him many years ago when she went to Dali...

"Master, you are the only good person I have ever seen in this world of immortal cultivation..."

Li An picked up the tea and took a sip, which was slightly bitter.

How could there be any good people who could survive and get to this day...Real good people, such as Wang Dazhu, have been killed long ago!

...

Dozens of days later, the coalition arrived at the front line of the battlefield.

This time Jiang Qingcang appeared in person. He and the fourth-level Qingyan Divine Bird attacked with great momentum and quickly slaughtered the two armies of Dali. The corpses were everywhere, and Li An, who followed behind, picked up countless spoils.

In addition to Jiang Qingcang, many other Yuanying-level masters of Dayan also came and fought.

The Dali army experienced a brief rout, but soon, several Yuanying masters of Dali also appeared, and a terrible war broke out directly.

"The enemy is attacking from the left, I will stop them!"

Li An finally found an opportunity and led his troops to rush towards a mountain range.

"Wu Protector, do not act rashly!"

The head of the family, Jiang Rilan, changed his expression. The ancestor had given him a secret order not to let Li An leave the battlefield.

He hurriedly followed.

There was indeed an enemy army on the left mountain range, led by two True Dan cultivators. Li An led the Blue Flame Divine Bird and fought with them.

For a moment, the spiritual power shook the sky.

"Head of the family, help me--"

Li An shouted.

Jiang Rilan took action and joined the battlefield.

The terrifying battle between the True Dan cultivators caused the grass and trees in this mountain range to fly, the rocks to shock the sky, and the runes to burst out continuously, which was very tragic.

In the blink of an eye, both sides were almost at their limit, and the two True Dan of the enemy army, I am afraid, sacrificed a fourth-level talisman, bombarded and killed, Li An and the divine bird were directly bombarded to the ground, he shouted:

"The head of the family, run away quickly, I will stop the enemy, you can't die - otherwise my Jiang family is finished!"

The two True Dan heard the words, and immediately surrounded Jiang Rilan, using all kinds of means to bombard and kill.

Jiang Rilan's face was ugly, but he also had a lot of foundation, struggling to support, Li An seemed to be seriously injured, and could only help from the side from time to time, but it was of no use.

"You are looking for death -"

Jiang Rilan shouted loudly, and a fourth-level magic weapon bombarded and killed.

The two True Dan enemies also lit up various magic weapons.

Boom!

The smoke and dust were surging, and the two True Dan strongmen were both seriously injured. Jiang Rilan's cultivation was also unstable, and he coughed up blood.

"Quick, Wu Hufa, drive the divine bird to kill them!"

He yelled at Li An. Li An said, "Okay!"

Li An rushed over with the divine bird, but when he passed by Jiang Rilan, all kinds of runes suddenly exploded on Li An's body!

"You!"

Jiang Rilan's face was extremely horrified. At this moment, Li An directly detonated hundreds of third-level runes!

At the same time, there were small ice swords and black poison swords bombarding.

Jiang Rilan was unprepared. He only had time to let out a shrill scream before he was killed on the spot.

...

On the other side, the two Zhendan cultivators were shocked and looked at Li An in surprise.

Li An quickly added dozens of swords to Jiang Rilan's body, turned around and stared at the two Zhendan.

"Go, retreat--"

The two Zhendan cultivators had been seriously injured and were unwilling to fight again, so they were ready to escape.

But at this moment.

Boom!

The aura of the third-level formation suddenly swept down around them, directly trapping the two Zhendan!

At the same time, Li An's aura was finally released without any concealment.

"This is... Golden Core?!"

The two True Core cultivators were stunned.

Li An and the bird...are both Golden Core level.

Besides, when was this formation set up? ?

They didn't even notice it!

And their dazed eyes were immediately filled with the light of hundreds of third-level exquisite talismans——

...
