Chapter 281 Xiaoxiao's Dead End

Lifting the special stone hoe, he dug hard, and the gray soil was turned up along the sharp edge of the hoe, emitting a bit of strange breath.

Li An also felt the loss of his vitality!

Very slight.

He did not use the power of life seed to resist this loss. After all, it would be bad if people saw his abnormality.

"The strange breath is too strong. Why do I feel that there is not just one corpse of a strange spirit... but many!"

Li An felt it carefully. Could it be that there are many strange creatures buried underneath?

Li An deliberately dug in other directions and did not directly dig out the corpse of the strange spirit.

These things are very important to him, but once they come out, they will inevitably attract attention.

He repeatedly probed from left and right to determine the location of the corpse of the strange spirit. On this day, he thought about it, then suddenly raised the hoe and dug in. Suddenly, a surge of strange breath suddenly emanated, which was extremely shocking.

"So strong!"

"What's going on?!"

For a moment, everyone around was shocked.

Shui Changxiao had already fallen outside the pit and shouted, "Elder Ying, what's going on?"

Li An quickly used the seal, and the black ice made from the human corpse fell down, and the strange air slowly descended. Li An climbed out of the pit with difficulty and said, "I didn't pay attention and bumped into a corpse of a strange spirit, and almost let it escape... Fortunately, I sealed it with the seal."

He was panting. He had only been here for a year or two, but he looked like he had aged ten years. He said, "Senior Shui, we can't continue digging here!"

Shui Changxiao frowned and said, "No, we must dig. This is one of the most core locations... You continue, there is another seal, don't be afraid!"

As he said that, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Li An, "This is the Heavenly Fate Pill, which prolongs life and strengthens vitality. The sect master values ​​you very much!"

He patted Li An on the shoulder.

Li An looked reluctant, but also extremely helpless, and said: "The pit below can't be moved anymore, I... try digging in another direction."

Shui Changxiao nodded.

After this episode, Li An continued digging as usual.

That day, at noon, it was the time when the storm in the South China Sea was the most active. Li An had already figured out that at this time, Shui Changxiao and others' attention was often scattered. They needed to pay attention to the impact of the storm on the Giant Tomb Island. Li An was digging and digging, and suddenly got into a tunnel!

Over the years, the land under his feet has been managed by him like a maze, with crisscrossing tunnels, and there are two secret passages... connected to the pit where he dug out the corpse of the alien spirit.

The pit has now been sealed, and there is a dense strange breath in it. Others can't explore the situation in it at all.

Li An crawled into the pit along the tunnel, and a strong strange breath came. In front of him was a dried corpse, which was sealed in black ice by Li An.

As soon as Li An thought about it, the immortal coffin appeared next to him. He carefully moved the sealed corpse away.

Li An knew that there was not one corpse here, but a pile of corpses!

He sealed the one on the surface just to hide it from others.

When the one on the surface was moved away, it turned out that there were densely packed corpses underground, at least seven or eight. Li An used the immortal coffin to collect all the strange corpses here without waiting for the strange aura to dissipate!

"A pit?"

After the eight strange corpses were collected, a black pit appeared, which seemed to be connected to a huge hole.

Li An did not dare to stay for long, and immediately stuffed the corpse on the surface back to block the pit, and then went out through the tunnel.

The whole process was very short and no one noticed.

He got seven corpses of alien spirits.

...

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, five years have passed.

In just five years, the first batch of "miners" on the island began to have problems.

Many people became hunchbacked and old, their physical strength declined significantly, and they became weaker year by year. Some people even began to die! "Another group of people died..."

One day, Shui Changxiao respectfully accompanied Saint Zhan Qingxuan to inspect the Giant Tomb Island. He said respectfully: "Saint, this Giant Tomb Island devours the vitality of cultivators much faster than we thought. We may need another group..."

"Why don't you go and conquer them?"

Zhan Qingxuan said coldly, "The South China Sea is turbulent. Seeing that great changes are imminent, this place is still far from meeting the requirements of the sect master. How many heads do you have?"

Shui Changxiao's face changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground hurriedly, saying: "Saint, calm down! Changxiao will increase the number of people and horses immediately. Within three years, we will definitely dig out all the array eyes and will never delay the sect master's important matters!"

Zhan Qingxuan said: "How is the excavation of the core part going?"

Shui Changxiao said: "Saint, one third has been completed..."

"Only one third?!"

Zhan Qingxuan became even more impatient, "Faster! Faster!"

Shui Changxiao said respectfully.

...

"Elder Ying, the progress in this core area is too slow. The Sect Master and the Saint are both very dissatisfied..."

Shui Changxiao found Li An.

In just five years, although Li An did not die, he looked more and more old, with silver hair, many age spots on his face, and a hunched body...

"I have a way..."

Li An said: "The core area is slow because there are too many corpses of alien spirits underground, so we have to take many detours. If there are enough seals, we can dig directly down and save half the time."

"I will go back to Yingyuan Island and refine a batch of seals!"

Shui Changxiao nodded and said: "That's good, but can I make seals in such a hurry?"

Li An said: "I need Senior Shui's help... The cultivators on this island are all dying anyway, why not kill them all and use them to refine seals for me?"

"These cultivators are eroded by strange auras, but they are first-class materials that can reduce a lot of time!"

Shui Changxiao was shocked. He didn't expect Ying Huaihai to be so cruel, but he changed his mind and agreed.

On that day, a massacre broke out on the island!

Except for the people of Yingyuan Island, the cultivators of other forces were killed directly, but because of this, a war broke out. The Demon Cult elder Xun Dongfang, who had been hiding for many years, showed his strength and fled after being severely injured by Shui Changxiao.

This made Li An sigh.

He asked Shui Changxiao to do this, first of all, to refine the seal. After all, he was going to explore the subsequent underground pits, and he didn't know what was weird. He had some seals on him to have confidence. Secondly, it was that old Xun was too good at surviving and had not died, so he gave him a blow.

Of course, there were also a few disciples of Dao Sect, but they were already dying and would die sooner or later. Li An would not be soft-hearted because of his existence.

"Elder Ying, are these enough?"

Shui Changxiao brought a large number of corpses and handed them to Li An.

"Enough, enough!"

Li An bowed, "Then I will go back to Yingyuan Island first to refine the seal--"

"Okay! I'll take you there!"

Shui Changxiao also needed to recruit another batch of workers, so he went along the way.

...

Walking out of the Giant Tomb Island, Li An was quite surprised to feel the fluctuations in the outside world.

Above the South China Sea, huge winds and waves seem to have become the norm, surging at any time, and immortal substances and strange air surge up and down.

Shui Changxiao sent Li An back to Yingyuan Island, bowed and said: "Elder Ying, I'm sorry to bother you-I'll pick you up in half a year!"

He left immediately, but secretly arranged for someone to keep an eye on Yingyuan Island to prevent Li An from running away.

...

On Yingyuan Island, upon learning that Li An had returned, the island owner Ying Meng'er, the elder Ying Zidai and others hurried out to greet him, but seeing Li An's current appearance, everyone was shocked.

Li An looked like he was going to die soon!

"Master... Elder, what's wrong with you?"

Ying Meng'er ran up and supported Li An. Her eyes were full of heartache and anxiety. She said, "Come on, hurry up and bring the elixir--"

Li An waved his hand and said, "No need..."

"Elder, what happened?"

Ying Zidai was also surprised and asked.

Li An sighed and didn't tell them anything. He just said, "I'll go to Nongchao Cliff to refine some things. You can pick another 300 strong men."

"The survival of Yingyuan Island depends on this!"

Ying Meng'er didn't dare to neglect it. She immediately asked someone to prepare. She wanted to ask something, but Li An had already landed on Nongchao Cliff and opened the formation here.

Yingyuan Island has a special terrain, and Nongchao Cliff is a gathering of heaven and earth. Sealed objects can be refined here.

Li An threw the large number of corpses given by Shui Changxiao into the sea water of Wanhui Bay under Nongchao Cliff. The surrounding formation was activated, and there was a trace of coldness in the sea water.

As Li An said, these corpses were infiltrated by strange auras, which was very suitable.

While making the seal, Li An was waiting.

It was not until more than ten days later that a figure passed through the formation from outside Yingyuan Island and appeared on Nongchao Cliff.

Su Yebai!

He finally came.

"The dog of Daoling Sect was guarding outside. It took a few more days, and Elder Ying waited for a long time."

Su Yebai smiled slightly and said, "Elder Ying, I wonder what the situation on the island is?"

Li An told the situation on the island one by one, and naturally skipped the section about the corpse of the alien spirit.

"It seems that in a few years, the Daoling Sect will take action... Calculating the time, it is too late!"

Su Yebai thought for a while and said, "If I am not mistaken, Elder Ying should have a lot of exotic soil crystals on him, right?"

Li An's face changed slightly and said, "Yes, there are some, but these things are useless to you... right?"

Su Yebai smiled and said, "I have told my master that the Mahayana period magic weapon you want can be given to you after this matter is over."

"In addition, we should cooperate sincerely. After all, you have been targeted by the Daoling Sect now. If it weren't for us, your ending would probably be no different from that of other miners on the island."

Inducement, coercion! Li An's face was very ugly, but he gritted his teeth and took out a few storage bags, saying: "I can give you the things, but I need to know how I can survive? You have to ensure my safety!"

Su Yebai said: "Even if you don't ask, I will tell you."

"Do you know why the Lingzong asked you to dig the Giant Tomb Island?"

Li An said: "I don't know."

"They want to release some things in the Giant Tomb Island when the world changes... Hehe, but if they are all released, they will not be able to control it, and it may cause a disaster. Therefore, they need to do something on the Giant Tomb Island and wait for the world to change, guide it, and achieve their goals."

"You have to take this thing with you and take the opportunity to bury it on the Giant Tomb Island--"

He took out an ice array and handed it to Li An.

Li An took it and looked at it, and was immediately surprised. This array was very good. Li An's array attainments had already reached the great power level, but he couldn't see the mystery.

There is also a vast power hidden in it...

Written by an immortal?

He couldn't help but doubt it.

"You bury this thing in the core position of your excavation, and when the chaos comes, hide around this array, and you will be able to survive!"

"At that time, our Dao Sect will take action to attack Daoling Sect. After the completion, you will be a great contributor. My master has said that at that time, we can forgive the past and let you become a guest of Dao Sect."

Su Yebai said lightly.

Li An hesitated for a moment, knowing that he had no power to choose, and immediately nodded and said: "Okay."

"In addition, you might as well throw these foreign soil crystals under this tide-making cliff to refine them, isn't it good?"

Su Yebai smiled, walked to Li An, picked up his storage bag, poured a large amount of foreign soil crystals into the sea water, and waved his hand at the same time, many avenue lights sank into it and mixed with the foreign soil crystals!

"This..."

Li An was a little surprised.

"Put it away after refining it. I will come to get it after a while. When I come, you are not allowed to mention that this thing has been refined under the cliff. Understand?"

Li An was suspicious, but he had to nod.

Su Yebai left immediately.

After he left, Li An was thinking.

The first question he thought about was whether to escape or not!

Now it seems that the Giant Tomb Island is too dangerous. Dao Zong, Dao Ling Parrot, Demon Sect... are all characters that are not easy to mess with. Even, there may be something weird hidden inside the Giant Tomb Island.

Stay and try for a chance? The risk is a bit too big.

When the chaos comes, Li An will be in great danger.

Even though he has absorbed the breath of the corpse of the alien spirit, to some extent, he can disguise himself as the corpse of the alien spirit and hide, and he is also sensitive to the alien air, which has an advantage over others, but he still feels unsafe.

After thinking about it, it is better to hide for a while!

Anyway, the great changes in the world are not just this time, there will be a second and third time!

It is safest to check the situation first and hide.

Besides, he has already obtained seven corpses of alien spirits from the Giant Tomb Island, which is a huge harvest. It is not a loss to leave now.

Seven corpses of alien spirits should be enough to make his "weird body" a small success, right?

He has made a choice in his mind!

There must be spies from the Daoling Sect watching outside, but it is not difficult for Li An to escape!

Just find a chance to leave before Shui Changxiao comes back.

Then, he began to think about the second question - mainly to deduce the intentions and possibilities of forces such as Dao Sect and Daoling Parrot.

The focus of Daoling Parrot and Dao Sect is now on the Giant Tomb Island!

There must be terrifying things buried in the Giant Tomb Island, and there must be the legendary strange air traces.

The purpose of Daoling Parrot is very clear. It should be like this to open the Giant Tomb Island by taking advantage of the great changes in the world to obtain the strange air traces and achieve transformation.

What Dao Sect wants to do makes Li An guess.

Do they also want the strange air traces?

No!

It is useless for Dao Zong to get the strange Dao Hen. The upper echelons of Dao Zong do not agree with the route of hiding in Weird. Otherwise, the headmaster would not have to risk violating the sect rules and privately raise a Jun Yelin and accept Shangguan Xiaoxiao into the sect.

Thinking in this way, Dao Zong has only two goals:

One is to snatch the Weird Dao Hen, but the purpose is to control it, not to use it.

The second is to prevent the Dao Ling Parrot from getting the Weird Dao Hen.

Li An thinks the second possibility is greater.

Nothing else, the Weird is something that even Master Zi Xianzi is very afraid of, and even desperate to say it. With the strength of Dao Zong, does it have the strength to control the strange Dao Hen?

Li An is doubtful.

"But if it is to stop the Dao Ling Parrot, Dao Zong will just kill the Dao Ling Parrot directly!"

Li An thought a little deeper. Although the Dao Ling Parrot is all over the South China Sea, it is definitely not good enough in front of the Taoist immortal.

But Dao Zong did not kill him directly, but just kept watching its actions and secretly arranged... This was obviously taking advantage of it.

Therefore, Dao Zong's real goal should not be the Dao Ling Parrot, but the Yi Qi Dao Hen.

"Their goal is indeed to control the Yi Qi Dao Hen, and the best way to control the Yi Qi Dao Hen is to prevent the Yi Qi Dao Hen from being born!"

Li An suddenly realized

!

Only this makes sense.

Dao Zong would never take the strange route of incarnation, and he is so concerned about the Giant Tomb Island, obviously to prevent others from taking this path.

"The array plate they gave me was made by an immortal... Does the immortal want to seal the Giant Tomb Island?"

"If I bury this thing in the Giant Tomb Island, they can seal the entire Giant Tomb Island! No more strange air can be emitted from the Giant Tomb Island, and it will be difficult for others to approach..."

Li An began to calm down and study the array plate carefully.

Although he couldn't fully understand it, he was generally convinced that this array plate should be used for sealing!

After sorting out Dao Zong's thoughts, Li An felt that his mind was getting clearer and clearer.

"No, it's not just this array! The array can seal the Giant Tomb Island and prevent people from approaching, but it can't stop the strange air from emanating from the Giant Tomb Island!"

"So, if you want to completely suppress the Giant Tomb Island, Dao Zong must need... a seal!"

He glanced at the strange soil crystals under the cliff, and instantly understood!

They all matched.

But, it's really hard to imagine a seal that can suppress the entire Giant Tomb Island.

Moreover, the seal needs to be refined with human corpses as a furnace, and generally speaking, it has to use living beings that have been transformed by strange air. Who does Dao Zong use to refine it?

"He specifically asked me to present this thing to them when I come in a few days, but I must not mention the fact that this thing has been refined..."

"Who does he need to hide?"

"Who will be with him then?"

A beautiful figure flashed in Li An's mind...

Shangguan Xiaoxiao!

It was she who came to Li An with Su Yebai at the beginning! It should be her who will come with Su Yebai to get these alien soil crystals after a while...

Besides, she is also a demon cultivator with the origin of the Demon Emperor in her body, and the origin of the Heavenly Demon is something that can be compared with the corpse qi of the alien spirit!

He was shocked. Could it be that Dao Zong wanted to refine Shangguan Xiaoxiao into a sealed object?

Use Shangguan Xiaoxiao to seal the Giant Tomb Island, so that the alien qi Daohen will never come out again?

This is too terrible.

"Didn't the headmaster cultivate Shangguan Xiaoxiao as a hidden player like Jun Yelin?"

He frowned. Could it be that the headmaster was so cruel that he actually used Shangguan Xiaoxiao as a sacrifice?

No, if the Giant Tomb Island was sealed and the alien qi Daohen could not come out, then Jun Yelin, the hidden player he cultivated with great effort, would not be able to get the alien qi Daohen either.

Not the headmaster!

It was someone else, someone else in Dao Sect, who saw through Shangguan Xiaoxiao's true and false, and wanted to use this opportunity to sacrifice Shangguan Xiaoxiao!

Moreover, Su Yebai also blessed many mysterious Dao Qi and Dao Guang in the alien soil crystal. Shangguan Xiaoxiao couldn't see that there was something wrong with the alien soil crystal he cultivated in this way!

Everything... is clear!

After thinking it through, his brows suddenly knitted very tightly, and for a moment, there seemed to be countless entanglements and hesitations in his heart.

...

And at this moment.

Above the South China Sea, on an ordinary island reef somewhere.

Some driftwood was stranded next to the island reef, and the waves kept hitting it, but the driftwood didn't move at all. When they got closer, they found that there was an old man sitting cross-legged on the driftwood.

He looked like a dead tree, and his life energy was almost completely hidden.

Even if a powerful master passed by here and scanned with his mind, he couldn't find his existence.

Su Yebai quickly flew closer, stood on the reef, bowed respectfully to the old man on the driftwood, and said: "Your Excellency, things have been arranged."

"The immortal sealing array has been handed over to Ying Huaihai, and the exotic soil crystal is also being refined. I will go with Junior Sister Shangguan to get it in a few days."

The old man didn't even turn his head and said, "Junior Sister?"

Su Yebai immediately realized his mistake and said, "Demon Cultivator Shangguan Xiaoxiao."

The old man nodded slightly, "The distinction between black and white, good and evil, is often just a matter of one thought! Tai Qingzi was wrong for just one thought, and took a big wrong step. He made mistakes again and again, leading Jun Yelin to It is not enough to go on the evil path, but he also regards Shangguan Xiaoxiao as a savior! "

"Now that he is obsessed, it is extremely difficult to save him. Since the delusion cannot be broken, we have to start with Shangguan Xiaoxiao... It took a lot of trouble and it was really difficult."

"You must hold this line, the devil is the devil! There must not be any looseness!"

Su Yebai said heavily: "Disciple understands!"

The headmaster Tai Qingzi thought he had a plan, but he could not see what he did. Since Jun Yelin, he has never been able to hide from the eyes of the sect's high-level officials. As Tai Qingzi's master, Taoist Kuyuan had no choice but to come to Nanhai in person to mediate this plan.

"In this case, this Ying Huaihai is very critical. This person must be watched carefully. The success or failure of a major event depends on such a trivial character. It is not appropriate."

Taoist Kuyuan thought, seeming a little worried. Su Yebai said: "I have already placed a fairy ban on him, and he has been very honest in the past five years on the Giant Tomb Island... I don't think he dares to have any other thoughts."

"In addition, when the witch Shangguan Xiaoxiao and I go to get the alien soil crystal in a few days, we will take a closer look. If he refines it as I said, it is enough to prove that this person can be used. If there is an accident, we can think of a countermeasure."

The Taoist Kuyuan nodded, "Also, don't let this person leave the Giant Tomb Island alive, so as not to leak this matter and avoid trouble."

Su Yebai said: "He is anxious to get out. I told him to hide next to the immortals' formation to take refuge. At that time, he will be killed by the immortals' formation."

"Well, go ahead. Do it secretly. Don't let Taiqingzi find out."

Taoist Kuyuan said: "If you can accomplish this, it will be a great achievement. Taiqingzi has reached the level of cultivation and will be ranked as the Supreme. At that time, the position of the headmaster will have to be taken by you young people..."

Su Yebai bowed deeply, "Disciple does not dare to have high expectations, but I will do my best!"

...
