Chapter 249 Calculating the Two Major Forces
After sending Li Chengwang away, Li An received another "deposit" of 4,000 top-grade spirit stones!
Li Chengwang didn't seem to show anything, but Li An knew that this person probably had the intention to kill Li An.
Li An did it on purpose!
Li Chengwang is now part of his plan.
This step has been completed.
Then, he didn't remember to make a formation for Li Chengwang, but closed the formation of the Evil Spirit Lake, told Li Shuangshuang that he was making a formation and would not see anyone in the near future, and then he quietly sneaked out of the Evil Spirit Lake and went directly to the Emperor Yuan Realm.
...
Two days later.
Li An arrived at the Emperor Yuan Realm again.
Over the years, he returned to the Emperor Yuan Realm from time to time to put a curse on Lin Fangping, so he was quite familiar with the situation here.
"According to Shuangshuang's information, the last time the evil cultivator appeared was in Luofang City in Zhongtian Central Continent, and he robbed the treasures of a treasure pavilion in Luofang City..."
Li An went directly to Luofang City.
Although the evil cultivators in Luofang City have disappeared, Li An believes that the other party must have left a spike in such a place.
Li An did not directly use his spiritual sense to scan the whole city. After all, he, an outsider Yuanying, suddenly scanned the whole city, which would cause panic and harm his plan.
Every day, he lingered in the busiest restaurants, teahouses, brothels and other places in the city.
There was no other reason. In Li An's opinion, if these evil cultivators really left spies in Luofang City, the spies would definitely go in and out of these places frequently to get information.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
"Hmm?"
That day, Li An finally found a man in the restaurant. He was a fat bald man with a very faint evil aura on his body. This person should not have even formally practiced evil skills, but Li An still sensed it.
When the fat man got up and left, Li An quietly followed him. Not long after, he entered a slum. The people living here were basically some low-level cultivators, and the environment was dirty and messy.
The bald man entered a yard, and Li An sensed it quietly. Sure enough, a True Dan evil cultivator was hiding here!
Finally found it!
Li An immediately hid himself and kept observing this person nearby.
It took him a month to gradually sort out the situation of this True Dan evil cultivator. This person should be a leader in Luofang City, and he had seven or eight foundation-building period subordinates, all of whom were gathering information for him.
Li An also spent time keeping an eye on his subordinates, and finally identified one person - this was a female cultivator named Qin Yan, who was planning to go out with a group of fellow Taoists to explore a certain mountain range recently.
Li An learned their plan effortlessly, and then left immediately and rushed to their destination, the Fengye Mountains, two thousand miles outside Luofang City.
Li An swept his mind, and the tens of thousands of miles of Fengye Mountains were all welcomed into his sight. Li An repeatedly deduced and finally selected a valley, opened the storage ring he brought, and transplanted some of the plants and trees cultivated in it into this valley.
After the transplanting was completed, he also used Shennong Technique and Life Seed to raise these ordinary plants for several days, so that the traces of transplanting could not be seen at all. Even if masters above the Nascent Soul level came, they would only think that these plants were native.
He also planted some in several locations around the valley.
Of course, these locations were still not his highlight - he finally chose a pond two thousand miles away from several locations.
"Can you guarantee that this formation hidden here can deceive the spiritual sense of the big guys at the Refining Void or even Hedao level?"
Li An took out a formation and asked nervously.
This fourth-level formation in his hand was made by Shangguan Xiaoxiao who helped him make it throughout the process. Li An's requirement was very simple: it must be able to be hidden and not be discovered.
"Li Gou, are you doubting me?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao was very calm. She threw a Dove Pill into her mouth and said, "In Dao Sect, there are only three or five people with higher formation skills than me. They are all people who have never been out of the world. It's just a ceremony to awaken the evil-suppressing blood. It's not like becoming an immortal. I can't invite them." "If they don't come, the other formation masters of Dao Sect are just chickens and pottery dogs to me." "Don't worry, the earth's energy here is enough to hide the fluctuations and energy of this formation... If it is a formation of too high a level, it will be difficult to hide. It's just a fourth-level formation, so it's easy." Li An heard this and felt relieved, but also had some complicated feelings. Shangguan Xiaoxiao was so conceited. As the second princess of the Demon Sect, few people in the world could catch her eye, but she could admit that there were three or five people in Dao Sect who had higher formation skills than her... Dao Sect's foundation was really amazing. "Okay, I'll reluctantly believe you once..." Li An said. "What do you mean by reluctantly? Explain what you mean by reluctantly. Humph... If it weren't for the fact that what you did this time was quite interesting, and that you dared to plot against the Dao Sect and the Evil King, I wouldn't be interested in helping you so much."
"Humph, Li Gou, remember this, as long as I don't want you to lose, you will never lose!"
She was very confident.
Li An pouted, he had discovered that Shangguan Xiaoxiao was getting more relaxed and unrestrained with him now. Many times, she was able to show her true character, no longer the image of the mysterious demon leader...
Sometimes she even seemed a little arrogant. Li An always felt that she should have been too favored in the Demon Sect in the past...
He immediately set up a formation according to what Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, and hid a soul-locking box wrapped in stone skin in it.
He was still worried, and repeatedly scanned it with his spiritual sense for more than a hundred times. Sure enough, this formation was hidden in the invisible creation, without a trace, and although the soul-locking box could be sensed, it was disguised with stone skin, so it looked like a piece of stone and would not attract any attention...
He was relieved!
After doing all this, Li An took Xiaoqing out. After communicating with Xiaoqing, he used the breath of life to help Xiaoqing disguise herself. Soon after, the Qingyan Divine Bird, which was originally covered with green feathers, suddenly turned into a colorful spiritual bird, shaped like a parrot.
Since you want to do it, do it in full!
...
The next day.
Qin Yan and other cultivators entered the Fengye Mountains to explore. They were very cautious and basically only wandered in the outer area.
But at this moment, one of them exclaimed: "What is that? A seven-colored divine bird?!" He saw a parrot with seven-colored divine light all over its body, feathers like rainbows, exuding extremely powerful spirituality and a surging life energy. The branches it landed on seemed full of vitality and repeated. The parrot let out a long cry, as if it shouted the word "immortal", and then flew deep into the Fengye Mountains. The cultivators were all shocked and hurriedly followed. They did not encounter any powerful spiritual beasts along the way, and soon they had already entered the valley that Li An had prepared. The seven-colored divine bird disappeared completely. "Where is the divine bird? Where did the divine bird go?" "What happened? Why did it disappear..." "Is there any danger here?" They all looked solemn. "Huh? What kind of grass is this? Why does it feel a little weird..."
At this time, one of the cultivators found a spiritual grass. He was very surprised and said, "It's obviously not a spiritual grass, but just an ordinary green grass. Why does it feel like it has lived for a long, long time? The surrounding grasses have withered, but this one is still green!"
"Not only that grass, but this tree too!"
They found abnormalities one after another.
The group of cultivators explored a circle, and then each took some exotic grass and left.
Li An quietly followed Qin Yan and entered Luofang City. After seeing her report to the small courtyard where the True Dan Evil Cultivator was as soon as possible, Li An left with peace of mind.
Before leaving, he made up a rumor in the city: Qin Yan and other cultivators found the Seven-Colored Divine Bird in Fengye Mountains and got the Unwithered Divine Grass.
This rumor spread quickly.
Li An was not worried that someone would trace the source of the news, because there were several people who went to Fengye Mountains with Qin Yan. Who knew who said it?
Of course, in order to prevent someone from capturing them all and searching their souls, Li An took the initiative and directly killed two of the cultivators, making them disappear from this world completely.
In this way, there would be no evidence of the source of the news. Even if someone investigated, they would think that the two dead people leaked the news, and they leaked the news and brought themselves a fatal disaster.
…
He quickly rushed back to the Yuanling Realm.
Two days later, he returned to the Evil Spirit Lake and knew that no one had disturbed him during this period, which made him feel a little relieved. Then, he began to concentrate on making formations.
According to the requirements of the New Dao League, these formations are mainly trapping formations and killing formations, used to ambush and deal with evil cultivators.
According to the requirements of the evil cultivators, it is necessary to add backdoors to these trapping and killing formations to facilitate the evil cultivators to gain an advantage and in turn annihilate the New Dao League.
Li An thought for a long time, and found Shangguan Xiaoxiao to study for a long time, and finally determined the method of making the formation.
There was actually no problem with the formation that Li An wanted to make, but when it was finally used, the formation went wrong due to an accident -
In this way, from the perspective of the New Dao League, Li An only had problems with the level of the formation he made.
In the eyes of the evil cultivators, Li An did help them.
After all, it was still unknown who would win or lose between the evil cultivators and the New Dao League. It would be very troublesome for Li An to be directly exposed to any side, so it would be best to be able to take shortcuts.
That is, he had the guidance of a master like Shangguan Xiaoxiao, otherwise it would be impossible to do it.
While making the formation, Li An was also paying close attention to the movements in the Emperor Yuan Realm.
And he planned to go to the Fengye Mountains in person after a while!
There was no other reason, Li An had to make sure that the situation he set up really attracted the high-level evil cultivators and Dao Sect high-level people.
Otherwise, Li An would not dare to go to the Taixuan Mountains at all!
He still made two plans in his mind. If his plan succeeded and those big shots went to the Emperor Yuan Realm, he could take a risk and attack the real entrance to the Taixuan Mountains.
If the plan didn't work, Li An was ready to run away. This would make the safety factor higher. Even if his body in the secret realm might be discovered, it was only a "possibility", which was better than being exposed directly. "In addition, there is a master in the Spiritualization Stage in the New Dao League, and this person is also a trouble..." This made Li An quite worried. Even if his plan succeeded in transferring the high-level leaders of Dao Sect and the evil cultivators away, the leader of the New Dao League might not leave... Li An even had to consider a question: Even if the plan succeeded in the Diyuan Realm, would the masters of Dao Sect all rush over? Would some masters be left in the Yuanling Realm? Even if there was only one, it would be a huge threat to Li An's plan. "We must think deeper..." Li An thought, his eyes lit up slightly: "If Dao Zong has masters staying in Yuan Lingjie, where will they be?" "Nanfengzhou Jiang Clan!" "This is the most likely place!" "To be on the safe side, it is best to distract their energy when we start... Once a battle breaks out there, the leader of the New Dao League will definitely rush over." "After all, if the leader of the New Dao League has long known about the existence of Dao Zong and is under the control of Dao Zong, he will definitely go to rescue and help. If he is unaware, and suddenly there is a fluctuation of fighting between the God Transformation Stage or even stronger people, he must go to check it out... What I have to do is to seize this opportunity." Li An thought, and another idea took shape in his mind. His plan was also very simple: just tell Gao Tai the news that Jiang Clan worked for Dao Zong, exaggerating it. As long as Gao Tai and others know that there are still people from Dao Zong in Yuan Lingjie who are eyeing them, they will definitely find a way to deal with them. But it's not possible now. It will affect the plan if it's too early or too late...
He calmed down and concentrated on making the formation. In addition to the one that Li Chengwang needed, he was also making some other formations to prepare the escape route.
In the blink of an eye, a year and three months passed.
Until today, Li Chengwang finally came to the door to get the formation.
"These formations are really difficult, and the time is tight, so there are some flaws. Please forgive me, brother Li--"
Li An spoke rather awkwardly.
"Oh, flaws?" Li Chengwang's brows sank slightly.
Li An said: "Yes, these killing arrays and trap arrays are very powerful, but there is a disadvantage. They require more manpower to control. In order to ensure the operation of the large array, when I made the array, I let every array controller be able to mobilize the entire large array. In this way, even if the array controller of a certain array is killed, it will not affect the operation of the array."
Li Chengwang said: "Isn't this an advantage?"
"Advantages are also disadvantages. In this way, if a certain array controller has second thoughts or makes a mistake, the large array will also be disordered. At the least, it will collapse and explode, and at the worst, it will be dominated by others... It must be prevented."
Li An solemnly warned!
Li Chengwang thought that this was indeed a hidden danger, but as long as the array controllers chose reliable and loyal people, there would be no problem.
"Okay, thank you."
Li Chengwang paid the balance to Li An and took away the array.
Not long after he left, Gao Tai had quietly arrived.
"How is it?"
Gao Tai asked.
"I gave him the formation, and I left a backdoor."
Li An said: "These killing formations and trapping formations are very powerful. As long as you do what I say, you can directly control the formation. Moreover, I have added some restrictions. Even if you can't take away the formation, you can let the formation self-destruct and not be affected by it!"
Gao Tai smiled with satisfaction, patted Li An on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Gu, you have made a great contribution this time. In the future, you will have a place in the world of Yuanling Realm!"
Li An also smiled, "Brother Gao, when will we start?"
"One month later!"
One month later!
Li An's heart trembled, pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Okay!"
...
The time for action here has been determined. Li An seized the time and quietly left the Evil Spirit Lake. He went to the Emperor Yuan Realm again for the final verification.
He concealed his breath and pretended to be a foundation-building casual cultivator. He did not directly mix into Luofang City. After all, Fengye Mountains are now known as the center of the storm, and Luofang City is probably also a dragon's den and a tiger's lair.
It would be so exciting if he accidentally bumped into one or two Dao Sect bosses.
He was gathering information in some remote towns close to Luofang City.
As he expected, the news about the seven-colored divine bird had spread thoroughly!
During this period, many people went to Fengye Mountains to explore. The places set up by Li An had been visited more than once. Various invincible divine herbs were hot-selling in major auction houses. An ordinary green grass could be sold at a price similar to that of a fourth-level spiritual medicine.
It was simply outrageous.
Unfortunately, Li An could not and was unwilling to expose himself. Otherwise, if he mass-produced this divine herb, wouldn't it be just around the corner for him to become rich?
Not far from Fengye Mountains, Li An released four third-level ground rats!
These ground rats were what he had found after he went back last time.
, carefully raised, controlled by animal control and magic, although still active, but also like a puppet.
Li An controlled these moles to enter Fengye Mountains.
Their mission is to find the formation that Li An buried in the pond, and then in a month... activate it.
Of course, the spirit beasts cannot control the formation, but Li An had already made preparations when the formation was designed. He only needed these spirit beasts to attack the formation, and the formation would automatically explode-
Four moles, moving in different directions, as long as one successfully passed.
Of course, the pond that Li An chose was two thousand miles away from the places where he planted plants and trees. Few people visited it on weekdays, so it was relatively safe. Even if Li An went there himself, the risk was not high.
But Li An would never take risks, and even prepared enough spirit rats.
After doing all this, he went to the area around the Taoist temple of Zhongtian Yangzhou Dao Sect and explored it carefully.
When he and Lin Fangping arrived at the Emperor Yuan Realm through the teleportation array, they landed on the "Dao Lin Mountain" in Zhongtian Central Continent, and the Taoist temple of the Dao Sect was located here.
Li An's purpose of coming here is very simple.
If the Dao Sect's top leaders have noticed and paid attention to the traces of evil cultivators in the Emperor Yuan Realm, this Taoist temple is probably a little strange.
He pretended to be a casual cultivator who was going to borrow the teleportation array to go to Dao Continent, but when he went to inquire, he was told that the teleportation array could not be opened in the near future.
Li An knew it in his mind!
He immediately left the Emperor Yuan Realm and rushed back to the Yuanling Realm. He did not return to the Evil Spirit Lake immediately, but went to the Taixuan Mountains and circled around them.
He did not approach, but chose some places thousands of miles away from the Taixuan Mountains and set up formations.
This is the escape route he prepared for himself!
"Well, there are also some resources, such as red infant flowers, which need to be hidden first. These things are not used for the time being, and carrying them with you may be detrimental to the action..."
He also carefully selected and finally found a top-secret cave. This cave is hidden behind a waterfall, and the entrance is difficult to be discovered.
Li An set up a formation here to hide this place.
The red infant flowers can be transplanted here later.
...
It has been more than half a month since I returned to the Evil Spirit Lake in Qianshuiyunzhou.
"Master, three days ago, a call came from the New Dao League. All Yuanying cultivators must go there immediately. I don't know what happened..."
Li Shuangshuang respectfully presented a call.
Li An took it and took a look. His expression was stern. This call was actually issued by the hands of the God Transformation Stage!
That's right. Although the New Dao League is powerful, all Yuanying cultivators are big bosses. If it is not a big boss like the God Transformation Stage who personally sends the order, the Yuanying cultivators of all parties may not give face.
Li An naturally had to go as well.
"I know."
Li An opened his mouth and asked Li Shuangshuang to go down, and then immediately used the jade talisman given by Gao Tai to send a message to Gao Tai-
Soon after, Gao Tai quietly arrived at the Evil Spirit Lake, and as soon as they met, he said: "Brother Gu, what's wrong? You are looking for me at this critical moment, is there anything urgent?"
Li An nodded and said: "Brother Gao, do you... do you know the news from Jiang's?"
He looked a little uneasy.
Gao Tai looked suspicious, "Jiang Clan? What happened there..."
Li An was anxious when he heard this, "You don't know?"
Gao Tai said, "Don't panic, Brother Gu, tell me, what happened..."
Li An paused and said, "Something bad is happening, something bad is happening!"
He immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to Gao Tai, saying, "A few days ago, She Anqi and his wife from Jiang Shangfeng of Jiang Clan suddenly came to me and asked me to refine a few formations for them. These formations are very difficult and seem to be used to suppress evil. I was suspicious at the time and asked them a few questions. I learned that there are important people in the sect with Jiang Clan, and they are most likely from the evil suppression peak. How come you don't know?"
"You don't know about such a big thing. Isn't the matter of Taixuan Mountain Range hanging?"
Li An was extremely anxious.
Gao Tai was also very shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly picked up the jade slip given by Li An. While looking at it, his hands were shaking.
"This, this..."
In fact, he couldn't understand the formation information on the jade slip at all, and he was a little panicked!
Dao Zong!
Who in the world doesn't know these two words?
Having stood in the spirit world for countless years, he can be said to be the true ruler of the spirit world. Even the evil king followed by Gao Tai and others was suppressed by Dao Zong for countless years. He had nowhere to escape and had no choice but to run to Xinzhou...
Now, people from Dao Zong are here?
And they might be from Zhenxie Peak?
Fuck...
Gao Tai's first thought was to run away...
Facing such a huge monster as Dao Zong, he was really scared!
"Brother Gao, you have to think of a way quickly and report this matter. What to do, please let the higher-ups decide..."
Li An spoke.
Gao Tai said: "Yes, yes, report it quickly, report it quickly..."
He turned around and left with the jade slip, a little panicked, but then reacted and said hurriedly: "Brother Gu, this matter must be kept confidential and not told to anyone, anyone!"
After that, he left quickly...
After Gao Tai left. Although his plan was completed step by step, Li An did not relax. His eyes were as sharp as a knife and his mind was highly focused!
Reviewing, constantly reviewing in his mind, madly analyzing every detail and every possibility...
"What will the evil cultivators do after Gao Tai reports the news to the evil cultivators?"
"For the evil cultivators, the Fengye Mountains in the Emperor Yuan Realm must be more important than the Taixuan Mountains in the Yuanling Realm."
"Because, only some strange herbs were found here, but in the Fengye Mountains, a divine bird was found leading the way!"
"Moreover, the life substances that can be analyzed from the herbs I refined are richer than those in the Taixuan Mountains."
"If I were an evil cultivator, I would know that the people of Dao Zong Zhenxie Peak are in the Yuanling Realm, and also After getting the jade slip, it is very likely that I can analyze Li Yunxiao's intention to awaken the Heavenly Blood. Can I just leave it alone? "
"No, I will destroy the Jiang family of the Yuanling Realm! Because for the lineage of the Evil King, the appearance of a genius who can suppress the evil Heavenly Blood is absolutely intolerable. At least the formation required for Li Yunxiao's ritual must be destroyed, otherwise it will be too threatening to the lineage of the Evil King."
"Since we want to destroy the Jiang family, when is the best time for me to do it?"
"Of course... take advantage of the chaos!"
"When the war broke out in Fengye Mountains, Dao Zong's attention was also attracted... It is the most appropriate time to sneak attack Jiang family."
Li An carefully sorted out the logical chain.
That's why he told Gao Tai all this.
And when the evil cultivators started to do this, taking into account Jiang family and Fengye Mountains at the same time, they would also involve Dao Zong's energy!
Even the master of the New Dao League would be distracted when the war broke out with the Jiang family... Even if he had contact with Dao Zong, he might be directly recruited to guard the Jiang family!
In this way, the Taixuan Mountains...
No one would take care of it.
Li An finally had room to operate!
As for the Jiang family, Jiang Shangfeng and She Anqi would face great danger, and even become victims of Li An's plan... What does it have to do with Li An?
She Anqi had known Li An before, but now they were just strangers!
Let alone her, at this juncture, even if Xiang Yuntian came, Li An might not hold back.
There are no friends between life and death, only life or death!
...
After careful thinking and repeated deductions dozens or hundreds of times, Li An felt that there was basically no problem, so he was slightly relieved and had the confidence to go to the Taixuan Mountains.
The main thing is that he has prepared multiple escape routes around the Taixuan Mountains. Even if there is any threat, with him and the Blue Flame Divine Bird, as long as they fight their way out, they can immediately escape with the help of the array they have laid...
Safety is always the first priority.
Li An began to pack up his cave. There were many things he had to take away, including the red infant flower that had grown vines, all the spiritual medicines in the medicine field, etc.
Two days later, he was going to the New Dao League to respond to the call of the New Dao League.
"Master, will your disciple go with you?"
Li Shuangshuang asked, she was ready.
"No need." Li An opened his mouth, but he looked at Li Shuangshuang for a second, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Shuangshuang, the new Dao League is recruiting, there must be something big, the good and bad of this trip is unpredictable, Master has something to tell you, you must remember it in your heart!" Li Shuangshuang said: "Master, please speak!" "As long as you don't die, you will definitely be able to succeed! Everything in the world is a word of forbearance, forbearance, and only those who can forbear can see the light!" After speaking, Li An turned and left. Whether he succeeds or fails in his trip to Taixuan Mountains, he will most likely not go to the Evil Spirit Lake again! Let the identity of "Gu Dao" disappear from now on and change to another identity. After all, after this battle, if he is still alive, who knows if he will attract any attention and trouble? This also means that the Yuanying Great Repairer who protects the Evil Spirit Lake will no longer exist... What kind of situation will Li Shuangshuang and others face at that time? Li An is no longer able to care. At this critical moment of life and death, even as a Yuanying strongman, he can only take care of himself. Li An could only tell her this sentence!
If you can endure, you can get ahead. If you can't endure, you may not even have the chance to endure...
That is fate——
...
And at this moment.
Nanfengzhou, Jiang family.
As an old Yuanying family, Jiang family occupies one of the best spiritual veins in Nanfengzhou. Since entering the spiritual world, it has been affected by the power of the spiritual world, and its spiritual veins have become stronger and stronger.
At this moment, on a mountain peak. A woman was breathing in the morning sun. She was wearing a long green dress and had an extremely graceful figure. Behind her, it seemed as if there were five illusory giant fox tails dancing in the wind...
A young man in a white robe came over and waited silently for a long time before stepping forward and saying:
"Qingxue, I'm going to the Diyuan Realm. The witch Zhan Qingxuan should be in the Fengye Mountains over there."
"Will you go with me?"
Tan Qingxue opened her eyes. Under her long eyelashes, there was a different kind of coldness. When she heard Li Yunxiao's words, this coldness A smile slowly appeared in her heart, she turned around and said, "Just go."
"Since you have chosen this place as your breakthrough place, I have to guard it for you to avoid any mistakes."
Li Yunxiao smiled and nodded. He stepped forward and gently hugged Tan Qingxue, saying softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely get Zhan Qingxuan's evil blood and awaken the evil-suppressing heavenly blood... By then, you will be the happiest woman in the world, and I will be with you, immortal forever!"
Tan Qingxue also smiled, "I believe you."
"Immortal forever."
...
