Chapter 248 Danger in the Secret Realm

"Evil method?"

Li An looked at Gao Tai in shock.

"Yes."

Gao Tai was contented, and seemed to appreciate the expression on Li An's face. He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Gu. Most people want to take this path, but they don't have a chance! If you and I were not close friends, I would not lead you to the path..."

Li An's face was ugly: "Brother Gao... Is this true? Once you practice evil methods, you will never be able to recover! From now on, how can I gain a foothold in the spiritual world?"

Gao Tai sneered, "What do you mean by never being able to recover? Don't tell me that you really want to be a Yuanying cultivator for the rest of your life and die of old age. This method is a great method to change your fate against the will of heaven!"

He paused, and suddenly said, "However, if you really don't like it, I can also absorb the evil spirit in your body for you. In this way, you can still be innocent. How about it? Do you think about it?"

He looked at Li An, but Li An's face kept changing, and he acted hesitant.

After a long time, he asked nervously: "Brother Gao, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Once discovered, you and I will be desperate. You must know that the evil king has been wanted by the Dao Sect, the Brahma Sect and other major forces..."

When Gao Tai heard Li An's question, he knew that Li An had been lured by him, and he couldn't help but smile, "My brother Gu, don't worry!"

"The whole Xinzhou will become our territory!"

"Within ten years, Xinzhou will be unified, and the evil king's power will be It will become a super power standing shoulder to shoulder with Dao Zong and others. At that time, you and I will be heroes. What's the point of being a god? Maybe we can even impact the legendary Lianxu! "

Listening to Gao Tai's big pie, Li An's eyes also flashed with a trace of yearning, but he was still a little worried: "Are you so sure?"

Gao Tai patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Gu, don't worry!"

"Just watch, starting from this Yuanling Realm, it won't take a few years for the New Dao League to be completely destroyed!"

He was extremely confident.

Li An also gritted his teeth, "Well, well, since Brother Gao is so confident... then I believe you!"

Gao Tai laughed, and then suddenly whispered: "There is another thing, it is your chance to make a contribution... The New Dao League is planning a way to deal with the evil forces recently. At that time, a batch of formations will be prepared. I have already arranged the relationship there, and someone will come to you. "

"You have to do something with these formations..."

Li An's face changed, and he was a little reluctant. "Brother Gu, if we get on this boat, we won't have a chance to get off! The New Dao League is our mortal enemy. If you don't kill them, they will kill you..." Gao Tai spoke slowly. Obviously, he had been close to Li An for all these years just for today. Many of the pills he gave Li An contained evil power. Now, Li An had no choice but to become an evil cultivator! Of course, Gao Tai had a wide range of friends in the Yuanling Realm, and it was very likely that he had developed more than just Li An. Li An's mind raced, and he finally nodded, "Okay... Gu will definitely do his best!" Gao Tai left. In fact, Li An could have killed Gao Tai directly just now. Even though Gao Tai was in the late Yuanying stage, he was sure of it. After all, he had already planted a lot of poisonous insects in Gao Tai's body. Once it erupted, Gao Tai would be seriously injured if he didn't die, and there would not be much combat power left. Not to mention that he had the help of the Blue Flame Divine Bird! But it was unnecessary. Killing Gao Tai would only alert the evil cultivators and even make them notice Li An.

But it would be best to agree to it first and pretend to be nice.

As for what to do next... Li An was still thinking.

Gao Tai found him and put him in a dilemma!

If he didn't help, he would explode immediately and Gao Tai would definitely find a way to kill Li An. Li An would be in danger.

If he helped, he would be tied to the chariot of the evil king's lineage in the future. Moreover, it seems that Dao Zong has also been involved in this Yuanling Realm. The evil king's lineage may not win. If they lose, Li An might be buried with them.

Then can he turn around and join the new Dao League? Expose Gao Tai?

It is more dangerous to do so. First, the new Dao League may not believe Li An. Even if they do, Li An will directly enter the center of the storm and bring trouble to himself. Second, Gao Tai said before he left that the new Dao League would come to Li An to refine the formation, and he has already arranged it, which means that Gao Tai has an insider in the new Dao League!

So, no!

After thinking about it, he actually has two choices now:

One is to run away. Facing such a complicated situation, the best way is to withdraw and find other safe places to practice.

The price is that Li An's business in the Yuanling Realm over the years will be completely reset to zero, and the more troublesome thing is that the news of the evil king's lineage over the years is not only in the Yuanling Realm. Where can he run to get rid of it completely? Other places may still be a headache.

The second is to stay. Now, he may be the only one who knows the movements of the evil king's lineage and Zhenxie Peak at the same time. He has the advantage of information. In the chaos, it is easier for him to move and switch, and he may even make a lot of money from it.

But the risk is that if he plays too much, he may be killed.

After thinking about it, Li An hesitated for a long time and decided to run first!

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

"But there is no need to rush to run away..."

Let's save some capital first.

After all, the formation that Jiang Shangfeng and his men wanted was within ten years, and it would take time for the New Dao League to deal with the evil cultivators.

It was still safe in the short term.

During this period, he could calmly look for other places to practice, and he could take orders from both the Jiang family and the New Dao League first, and even ask for more things from both parties, so that he could run away with the money and run far away!

Anyway, after he ran away, he would have to change his name and live in seclusion in a foreign land, and the Jiang family and the New Dao League would never be able to find him!

In addition, since he had already decided to run away, he might as well take a little revenge before he left, such as leaking the fact that Li Yunxiao was preparing for the ceremony at Nanling Peak to Gao Tai, and letting Gao Tai inform the Evil King's lineage...

Once the Evil King's lineage reacted, they could plan to deal with Li Yunxiao in turn, which might have the effect of killing someone with a borrowed knife!

This was also good. The plan has slowly taken shape in his mind...

Of course, there is another problem. Once Li An runs away, most of the people in the Evil Spirit Lake will be dead.

However, Li An has no attachment to the so-called "Evil Spirit Lake" force, and he doesn't care about the survival of these people at all.

Forget it.

When he finally runs away, he will see if he can take Li Shuangshuang with him. If it is convenient, he can take her with him. If it is not convenient, Li An will not care if she dies.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Li An has done his best to help her. It is really wishful thinking to expect Li An to pay and fight for his descendants who are separated by several generations? That is really wishful thinking.

If Li An were to die, his descendants might not risk their lives to save him.

...

After Gao Tai left, Li An hurried to make talismans, fourth-level formations, etc.

What he lacks most at present is actually magic tools. As a Yuanying cultivator, he doesn't even have a fourth-level magic weapon.

So, he had to work harder on talismans and formations.

Of course, he also made a part of the formation that Jiang Shangfeng She Anqi needed. After all, he had to cheat more spirit stones later, and he still had to get some results.

…

Three months later.

"Li Chengwang from the New Dao League came to visit fellow Daoist Gu——"

That day, Li Chengwang arrived, and as Gao Tai said, he came to find Li An to refine the formation.

This surprised Li An. Could it be that Li Chengwang also surrendered to the evil king and was Gao Tai's insider?

But he carefully sensed that there was no evil fluctuation on Li Chengwang's body. Li An immediately reacted and Li Chengwang must not be the insider!

There was no other reason. If Gao Tai had not become an evil cultivator and tied to him on the same pirate ship, he would not trust him.

In addition, according to Li An's experience, the real traitor is often hidden very deeply. Gao Tai has already told Li An that the person who came to Li An to make a formation must not be a traitor, because the formation made by Li An in this way can better gain the trust of the New Dao League.

The traitor is someone else.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Chengwang explained his purpose: "I came here today because I have a formation and I want to ask Daoyou Gu to help me refine it--"

He told Li An the request, and then said: "Danyou Gu, please take care of this formation. As long as it is refined within one month as scheduled, the New Dao League can buy it at twice the market price!"

Li An's heart was pounding. Sure enough, this juncture was a good time to make money.

He agreed.

...

While Li An asked Li Shuangshuang to pay close attention to the news of the evil cultivators and Nanfengzhou, he calmed down and slowly made the formation.

He first refined the one that Li Chengwang needed, and according to Gao Tai's words, he left a "back door" for the formation.

Of course, in addition to the formation left for Gao Tai, he also left one for himself.

Although Li An had decided to run away and he would not encounter these formations later, his principle has always been to keep one more hand!

In addition, he also sacrificed a lot of "Devdan" and asked Shangguan Xiaoxiao for help to ensure that these formations could not be seen by ordinary people.

A month later, Li Chengwang arrived as scheduled, took away the formation, and gave Li An a total of 2,000 top-grade spirit stones.

Not long after Li Chengwang left, Gao Tai came to the door.

"Brother Gu's attainments in formations are really good..."

As soon as they met, Gao Tai smiled and said, "Congratulations, fellow Taoist. Next, I guess the new Taoist Alliance will ask you to refine more formations..."

Li An couldn't help but be surprised and said, "More?"

"Isn't a fourth-level formation enough?"

Gao Tai shook his head, "It's too small, the pattern is too small!"

"Brother Gu, the new Taoist Alliance is going to do big things this time. To do big things, two fourth-level formations are definitely not enough... Come on, this is a topographic map. Come and study it with me quickly. Most of the formations they ask you to make later will be placed in these places. You should familiarize yourself with them in advance, so that it will be more convenient to make formations later."

As he said, he took out a piece of jade and injected spiritual power into it. Suddenly, light was reflected, and a projection of a mountain range appeared in front of Li An.

Li An couldn't help but curse in his heart. Gao Tai was really smart. Obviously, he had mastered this map from the beginning, but he didn't tell Li An.

Instead, he asked Li An to refine two edge formations first.

Li An refined it according to what he said, and he completely trusted Li An. Now he took out the topographic map and let Li An get in touch with the core information.

Li An did not say it out loud, and immediately studied the map carefully.

But when he looked carefully, Li An's mind was suddenly shocked!

This mountain range, he... is very familiar!

"Taixuan Mountains!"

Li An exclaimed in his heart.

Taixuan Mountains is a vast wilderness in the Yuanling Realm, where countless ferocious spirit beasts grow, and there are extremely chaotic murderous intentions. The cultivators who enter it often have a narrow escape from death.

But there are also many opportunities hidden in it!

In his last life, Li An risked his life to explore the secret realm with several fellow Taoists after he had no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. He happened to encounter that secret realm and obtained the Secret of Life-Nurturing and Immortality-Forging…

"Look, this is the map of Taixuan Mountains. When the time comes, the battle between the New Dao League and us will most likely break out in the three places of Niluan Mountain, Baisha Valley, and Lingtu Spring. In order to prepare early, I guess the New Dao League will all set up formations in advance to catch us in a trap…"

Gao Tai instructed Li An, "We have to take advantage of their tactics. Think about how to design formations so that we can kill them in the end or gain an advantage…"

"The most likely one is Niluan Mountain."

Li An's mood sank.

Niluan Mountain, Baisha Valley, and Lingtu Spring, these three places were themselves affected by the secret realm, so they all showed some abnormalities. At the beginning, they had explored them carefully.

Will the evil forces and the New Dao League fight here? Could it be that both sides have discovered the traces of this secret realm?

"Why would they come here to fight... Didn't I hear that some time ago our people attacked and killed a Yuanying family near Qingzhou?"

Li An asked in confusion.

Gao Tai said: "Who knows? Anyway, our people were targeted by the New Dao League when they were exploring the Taixuan Mountains. Damn, the higher-ups are determined to take the Taixuan Mountains, so they had to destroy the New Dao League here..."

Now he has regarded Li An as his own, so he didn't hide many things.

Li An's heart moved. So, it should be that the evil cultivator discovered something, but the New Dao League didn't know...

Moreover, from Gao Tai's uncertain words, the evil cultivator should not have found the specific entrance!

In fact, their group of people couldn't find the path that year. Later, they were accidentally discovered by a colorful parrot flying by. They tracked it and found a mysterious "guiding stone". They stepped into the entrance from the guiding stone and entered the secret realm...

In fact, the entrance is not in these three places at all. From the location, it is closer to the Niluan Mountain!

But Li An is still worried. These evil cultivators have found some traces. If they keep looking, who knows if they will be discovered?

This secret realm... is very important to Li An.

It can even be said that Li An can get to where he is today in this life because of the Yangming Zhuxian Jue.

How many secrets are there in the secret realm? Li An is not sure. They only explored a small part of it back then.

If other people are allowed to enter, the treasures and opportunities will be taken away, and Li An's body will be left there. Will it reveal anything?

At this moment, Li An frowned!

No, I have to think of a way...

It can't be stopped. The evil cultivators are too powerful. The only way is... to destroy the entrance!

It doesn't matter even if it will be difficult for Li An to enter in the future.

He can't get the opportunities and treasures in the secret realm, and he can't let others get them!

Let alone let others find any clues about him!

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Li An's mind.

"Why, is it difficult?" Gao Tai looked at him.

"Yes, it is difficult."

Li An sighed and said, "Are there any other formation masters? I need to find someone to discuss and verify it. It is difficult for me to do it alone."

"In addition, if possible, I think I need to go to the site to take a look. These topographic maps can only show the basics, and the most important thing for the formation is the earth's energy! Once the earth's energy can be used, the power of the formation will increase several times, and the earth's energy is hidden under the earth, and it can only be sensed by visiting it in person."

He was also trying to find out Gao Tai's bottom line. "There are two others, but their formation skills are not as good as yours, so I didn't look for them directly." Gao Tai frowned and said, "High-end formation talents are too scarce." "Besides, it's also very dangerous to go to the field now. The New Dao League has already been watching, and there are spies everywhere. If you are exposed, it will be even worse!" Li An was extremely helpless and had to ask, "When will we start?" "The sooner the better, no more than a year!" Li An gritted his teeth and said, "I can only try my best, but whether the final effect can be achieved... I can't guarantee it!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help showing his uneasiness, and said: "Brother Gao, tell me the truth, do we have any masters of the God Transformation Stage sitting here this time..."

"The whole Xinzhou belongs to us, where can we get masters of the God Transformation Stage..."

Gao Tai smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "But you don't have to worry, don't be so stressed, just go all out, in fact, destroying the New Dao League is not a big deal for the higher-ups, even if the formation doesn't work, there are other ways... But this time the higher-ups have handed the matter over to us, we have to do it better, lest the higher-ups rush over to clean up the mess, wouldn't we become waste?"

The two discussed many details again, and Gao Tai left. Before leaving, he gave Li An a communication jade talisman, saying: "This communication jade talisman can contact me, keep it secret!"

...

After Gao Tai left.

Li An frowned and sat in the quiet room.

He was repeatedly deducing and thinking. If he had followed his previous plan and run away directly, there would actually be no worries. He could get the spirit stones and leave at any time.

But now...

Taixuan Mountains, secret realm!

He could give up the opportunities and treasures there, but he had to think of ways to solve the hidden dangers.

He couldn't let others find his body!

The Evil King, Dao Sect, etc. were not easy to deal with, and they might find some clues...

After all, even he himself couldn't figure out how he was reborn.

"The evil cultivators have found something abnormal, so they are looking for it. There are two possibilities. One is that they know the existence of the secret realm, and the other is that they don't know and are just searching tentatively."

"But from what Gao Tai said, the evil cultivators attach great importance to this place and will never let it go."

"The New Dao League has set its sights on the evil cultivators!"

"Dao Sect's Li Yunxiao and others have also set up a trap, waiting for important figures among the evil cultivators to appear! Do they know the existence of this secret realm? It is impossible to predict..."

Li An carefully analyzed the situation, and in the end, his focus of thinking was on the evil cultivators!

Because, both the New Dao League and Dao Sect have already set their sights on the evil cultivators.

That is to say, the actions of the evil cultivators can mobilize the actions of the New Dao League and Dao Sect.

"The real entrance is near Niluan Mountain, and the evil cultivators are currently focusing their efforts on Niluan Mountain..."

"If the war takes place in Niluan Mountain, I won't have any chance, because by then, the high-level leaders of Dao Sect and the evil cultivators may be here."

Li An had a headache.

However you look at it, it seems to be a dead end...

The key is that once the big guys from both sides are in Taixuan Mountain, Li An will have no chance.

He didn't even dare to show up...

"No..."

But, at this moment, Li An suddenly had an idea in his mind...

"Gao Tai said that Xinzhou is too big, and the masters of the Spiritualization Stage can't divide it... So, Gao Tai said that the higher-ups handed the matter over to them?..."

"Does this mean that the high-level officials of the Evil King lineage are not sure about the location of Taixuan Mountains, so the important people have not arrived yet?"

"Even, are they also exploring other places and looking for them?"

Li An seemed to have found a thread in the tangled mess!

He immediately called Li Shuangshuang to ask about the news of evil cultivators in other great realms.

Because he was very vigilant about evil cultivators, Li An always asked Li Shuangshuang to pay attention, and he also collected a lot of information in this regard.

"There are traces of evil cultivators in other great realms, as expected..."

There are in the neighboring Diyuan Realm!

A plan flashed through Li An's mind.

He had a premonition of something, and he was frantically preparing for the next few days.

He began to recall the characteristics of several places such as Niluan Mountain and Baisha Valley. These places, without exception, were affected by the secret realm. Some vegetation showed a strange growth state - those plants would not wither, and even the lifespan of an ordinary grass could be as high as hundreds or thousands of years!

That's how they were attracted.

If similar places appeared in other places...

Then it would effectively distract the attention of the evil cultivators.

The attention of the evil cultivators was distracted, which meant that the attention of the New Dao League and Dao Sect would also be distracted.

He began to use the power of life seeds frantically to cultivate some ordinary grass, trees, etc.!

...

A few days passed.

"Is Brother Gu here?"

Li Chengwang came again this time and said with a smile: "There are five more formations. I want to ask Brother Gu to help refine them. They are all trapping formations and killing formations. How about the price of last time?"

The price of last time was doubled!

But Li An shook his head and said, "Brother Li, the formations you want are too difficult, and I have already promised other Taoist friends to make formations. I am afraid I can't do anything at the moment..."

Li Chengwang frowned slightly, "What does Taoist Gu mean?"

"The other Taoist friends who asked me to refine formations are all my brothers and sisters, beloved relatives and friends... I promised them, there is no way, unless it is two years later, I can help you refine."

Li An was very frank.

"What does Taoist Gu want? You might as well tell me directly-"

"You have to pay more!"

Li Chengwang's eyelids jumped slightly and glanced at Li An.

Paying more money is not a problem, the problem is, this Gu Dao dares to control him like this? !

He is the head of the Li family. In the entire Yuanling world, who dares to talk to him like this? Even the leader of the New Dao League, the big man in the God Transformation Stage, was quite polite to him...

This person has already chosen his own death!

However, Li Chengwang smiled and said, "Okay, how much more?"

Li An said, "Two thousand each... no bargaining."

"Deal."

Li Chengwang was very straightforward and looked extremely calm.

Li An smiled, very happily, and said, "Happy cooperation."
