Five months later.
"Junior Sister Shangguan, several dogs of the Daoling Sect are guarding outside Yingyuan Island. You must be careful and follow me."
Su Yebai and Shangguan Xiaoxiao came to Yingyuan Island. He acted secretly, bypassed the surveillance of the Daoling Sect, and entered through the gap in the formation that Li An had given.
Soon, he and Shangguan Xiaoxiao entered Yingyuan Island and appeared on the edge of the Tide Cliff.
"Elder Ying,"
Su Yebai bowed slightly and said, "I wonder if you have gained anything on the Giant Tomb Island?"
He asked again in front of Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Li An answered as usual.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have obtained a lot of exotic crystals, right?"
Su Yebai smiled and said, "These things are most suitable for studying and understanding the Giant Tomb Island, so please give them to me, Elder Ying."
"Regarding the Mahayana magic weapon you mentioned, I have already reported it to the sect. As long as you cooperate to complete this matter, I can promise to give it to you."
Li An hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay! But after this matter is over, if possible, I would like to enter the Dao Sect... as a guest official."
The two of them sang a double act, purely acting for Shangguan Xiaoxiao, but the bargaining drama was still played out very well. After a long time, Li An handed the ring to Su Yebai.
Su Yebai first scanned it carefully and found that there was no problem. He secretly took two pills from it and prepared to take them back to the Grand Elder as a token. Then he handed it to Shangguan Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao Junior Sister, the headmaster said that these things need to be taken back to the sect for research. You can send them back." Shangguan Xiaoxiao took the ring and said, "Okay." "Ying Huaihai, right?" At this time, she suddenly spoke again, "Don't you want a complete magic skill? I will teach you the three complete magic skills of my magic sect today. You can do it yourself." After speaking, she pointed out with one finger, and a ray of light appeared in Li An's mind. Sure enough, it was the three major skills. The combination of the three skills is the Immortal Heavenly Demon Skill. Unfortunately, only those who are born with a demon body or alienated creatures in this world can make it one. Ordinary people can only practice one of them at most, otherwise they will die in disaster. "Thank you, senior!" Li An was excited and grateful. Su Yebai frowned slightly, but said nothing, "Since that's the case, Junior Sister, we should also go back and report to the headmaster--"
The two left immediately.
...
After they left.
Li An looked calm, and took up the sealed objects refined under the cliff one by one.
Waiting for Shui Changxiao to arrive.
"Master,"
The island owner Ying Meng'er came over, carrying a basket in her hand, walked to Li An, took out a plate of snacks from the basket, and said, "Disciple made some food for you, please eat some."
Li An took a look, the food was exquisite, and they were all spiritual food that replenished qi and blood and nourished life.
He accepted Ying Meng'er as his disciple, to put it bluntly, just to use Ying Meng'er, but in fact he also achieved his goal, and successfully broke into the Daoling Sect with the help of Yingyuan Island, and gained a lot.
Now for many years, Ying Meng'er has a good heart and has always served Li An very wholeheartedly.
In fact, both her parents died, and Li An risked his life to save her in danger and accepted her as his disciple. Therefore, in her heart, to a certain extent, she really regarded Li An as the closest person.
"It's really dangerous to leave this time. I may not be able to come back, and the storm in the South China Sea is getting more and more terrifying. No one knows what the future will be like."
Li An picked up the chopsticks, picked up a peanut and ate it, and drank another sip of spirit wine, saying: "You should make plans early, and Yingyuan Island... just don't defend it."
"The magic skills I gave you are not complete. This is all the magic skills. From now on, whether you live or die, your teacher can't control it. It depends on your own luck."
Li An put down his chopsticks and took out a little bit. The magic skills inheritance sank into her mind. He didn't give her the Immortal Heavenly Demon Skill directly, but three sets of skills. But she was originally alienated by the alien air, and to some extent, she was similar to the natural demon body, so she could naturally blend it slowly by herself.
"Master!"
Ying Meng'er listened to Li An's words, which were almost like telling her about her last affairs. Her eyes were red and she said, "Disciple will go with you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about."
Li An smiled slightly and said, "Your senior brother is called Yin Mozi. He is in Taiqing Realm. You can go find him. He doesn't have all the magic skills. You can observe him secretly to see what kind of person he is, and then decide whether to pass it on to him."
Ying Meng'er's eyes were tearful and she said, "Disciple obeys, I will definitely find my senior brother!"
"Master, you said that I should have another senior sister. What's her name? I will go find her too!"
Li An shook his head, "Your senior sister has been separated from me for many years. I have already looked for her, but there is no trace of her. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
The first disciple he accepted in his life was Jiang Ruoli, also known as Lihua. At that time, when he was still in the northern part of Dali, he had to hide in the beast-controlling Jiang family in order to break through the golden elixir. It was with the help of Lihua that he successfully entered the Jiang family.
Later, during the battle of Tiansha Mountain Range, he met Lihua once again. At that time, Lihua had already become a disciple of Taiyi Sect. It was with Lihua's help that he succeeded in winning the great victory of the battle of Tiansha Mountain Range.
Later, Xiling fought Shangguan Shengxian, and was taken into the spirit world by Dao Zong... and never saw Lihua again.
Of course, although he was called the first disciple, Li An actually didn't have much in mind. Her life and death didn't matter much to Li An, so his so-called search for Lihua was just to ask Zeng Xueyao, the master of Dao Zong Temple stationed in Diyuan Realm.
Just like Yin Mozi and Xianhuanzi now, he just made a casual move and would not waste extra energy to care about them.
"Xianhuanzi obeys your order!"
Ying Meng'er knelt down to Li An and kowtowed three times deeply.
...
"Junior sister, you are too frank. Why give him those skills now?"
Su Yebai spoke on the way out of Yingyuan Island.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "We must settle the cause and effect of what we promised him before he dies, right?"
Su Yebai was stunned for a moment and said, "He may not die."
"He will probably die."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled, "He is just a sacrifice chosen by Dao Sect. When the war comes, you can't be distracted to save him, right?"
...
After a long time.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao brought the ring and met the headmaster Tai Qingzi.
"Well, these crystals of foreign soil are very close to the life energy of strange creatures. Although you already have the origin of the Demon Emperor, it is better to refine these foreign energy, so that you can have a better grasp of containing the traces of foreign energy." The headmaster just glanced at the things in the ring and returned it to Shangguan Xiaoxiao. His eyes were full of hope and he said, "The catastrophe is coming, I believe I am right!" "If one day, the Dao Sect collapses and you are still alive, I only hope that you can rebuild the Dao Sect when you have the chance!" "As for whether you will take the path of demon cultivation and restore your Demon Sect from now on, or whether you are willing to retain a trace of Taoism... It's up to you." Shangguan Xiaoxiao held the ring, and looked at the headmaster for a long time with her autumn water eyes, and finally said, "In the future, I will not kill you." She carried a blood feud with the Demon Sect, and it was Taiqingzi who caused the collapse of the Demon Sect in the past... When she just entered the Dao Sect, she had the intention to kill Taiqingzi. But now, she made a promise. I will never kill Taiqingzi again!
Taiqingzi suddenly smiled and said, "Master once said that you are kind-hearted and don't seem like a member of the Demon Sect, but you were born in the wrong sect... It's true, hahaha, I didn't choose the wrong person!"
"Go, absorb the strange air and prepare for the strange air Dao trace!"
"Even if I die, I will make you successfully hide in the weirdness!"
...
On an island reef.
On the floating wood, Taoist Kuyuan took the strange earth crystal stone brought by Su Yebai and nodded: "Well, no problem."
"That witch should be a seal! Being able to seal the Giant Tomb Island can also be regarded as atonement for her sins in this life!"
...
Not long after, Shui Changxiao arrived as promised.
He had already recruited the second wave of miners. When he saw the pile of seals refined by Li An, he smiled and handed Li An another life pill.
"Let's go!"
...
The South China Sea was surging with waves, and small tsunamis erupted from time to time. The strange air was soaring into the sky. Indistinctly, one could even hear the roars and wails of some strange creatures.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, irritable, solemn, and terrifying.
Shui Changxiao also looked solemn. His pressure was increasing, so as soon as he arrived at the Giant Tomb Island, he forced a new round of miners to dig frantically.
Li An also immediately got busy with the newly arrived 300 strong men.
With more seals, Li An looked bolder when digging. He deliberately touched the corpses of the alien spirits from different directions and sealed them with seals.
He was exploring, exploring the scale of the underground corpses of the alien spirits!
"A rectangular area, why does it feel a bit like a... burial pit in a tomb?"
Although he had a basic understanding in his mind, Li An became more and more confused.
Giant Tomb Island Giant Tomb Island, could it be that the entire island is actually a big tomb?
Who is buried in this big tomb? There are so many strange creatures buried with the dead, and there are also traces of strange spirits among them?
Unbelievable!
"From these three directions, you can directly enter the burial pit... Once chaos breaks out, the burial pit should be the safest place."
Li An is analyzing.
It won't be long before the world changes drastically, and all parties will gather here, fighting dragons and tigers, and the earth-shattering war is just around the corner...
But from the information he has obtained so far, the Taoist parrot is afraid and dare not open the tomb directly, so it will dig so many places and build formations to guide and control.
And Dao Zong is even more unwilling to open the tomb, their goal is to seal the tomb!
So, they will not attack the depths of the tomb.
At that time, Li An will use the strange aura he has absorbed to pretend to be dead in the burial pit... This is the safest way he can think of.
He is only 70% to 80% sure. "Elder Ying, should we bury these things?"
When Li An was sitting on the ground to rest, a young man suddenly came over and pointed at some rocks on the ground and spoke.
Li An's brows furrowed immediately. This guy... is from Dao Sect!
Dao Sect has many spies on Giant Tomb Island, so they can grasp Li An's actions.
This young man now... is reminding Li An.
Tell him to bury the array quickly!
Li An said in a deep voice: "I will know what to do, wait."
The young man walked away on his own, and everything seemed normal.
Li An was not in a hurry. He worked as usual, but wandered around. Unknowingly, he walked all over the island and found out the number of Dao Sect spies.
Seventy-nine people!
All of them are core elites, and their methods of hiding their aura are very clever.
Are there any others? Li An didn't know, but it was always good to have an idea in mind first.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
The sea was stormy, and the terrifying noises occasionally affected the Giant Tomb Island. There were more powerful people on the island to help stabilize the formation protecting the Giant Tomb Island.
Zhan Qingxuan also appeared twice.
Obviously, with the great changes approaching, Daoling Parrot put more and more focus on this side.
"This man is dead, it's time to bury him!"
That day, a young man from Dao Sect walked up to Li An intentionally or unintentionally, pointing at a dead man on the ground and speaking.
"Wait a little longer, it's almost time, if this man dies, it's easy to have problems, and I don't want to die..."
Li An spoke in a low voice.
His current strategy is very simple, just delay!
Keep delaying!
If he attacks these Dao Sect disciples now, if the news leaks out, Su Yebai and others know that Li An did not do what they thought, it will be really bad. Maybe they will come up with a more vicious strategy, and it will be completely out of his control...
But he predicts that as the external situation changes, Daoling Sect will eventually completely close this place for safety.
At that time, the people of Dao Sect outside would not know what happened on the island!
…
Finally, on this day, Shui Changxiao and others attacked together and completely activated the formation protecting the Giant Tomb Island, completely isolating it from the outside world!
"Aren't you going to bury it yet?!"
The people of Dao Sect were also a little anxious when they saw this, fearing that they would miss something important.
"Bury it tonight!"
Li An finally spoke.
That night, he found Shui Changxiao while no one was paying attention and said, "Senior, Huai Hai has something to report..."
Shui Changxiao has been a little nervous in recent days, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Junior found that some people on our island don't seem to be affected by the strange air. They are a little strange..."
Li An spoke. According to his description, the lives of those people passed away more slowly, they were not sensitive to the strange air, and were less affected. Moreover, they often contacted each other privately...
He not only mentioned the seventy-nine people of Dao Sect, but also dozens of others. After all, if he could accurately locate the disciples of Dao Sect, it would still arouse suspicion.
After listening, Shui Changxiao's expression suddenly became very solemn, and he asked about the situation of Li An and others in detail.
"This news is very important! Elder Ying, you have made great contributions!"
He patted Li An's shoulder heavily and said, "Wait a few days, I will ask for another life-saving pill for you!"
Now Li An is very old, looking like an octogenarian half buried in the ground, and his life is coming to an end. He will definitely not live to the end, but he still painted a pie.
"I'll go check it out now!"
Shui Changxiao did not doubt Li An. After all, Li An knew too much about the strange air, and he often wandered around the island all day long. It was normal to have some discoveries, and many of what Li An said were also speculations...
More importantly, Li An was talking about a direction!
They, the Daoling Sect, are not unaware of the existence of the sect, and they have always believed that there may be spies on the island.
It's just that it's hard to find them.
Now that there are clearer clues, of course they have to check it out.
...
That night.
A massacre quietly descended!
"Ah——"
"No!"
"Fight them! Strengthen our Dao Sect!"
These elite disciples of Dao Sect were very brave and fearless, causing a great impact, but facing the many masters of Daoling Sect, the outcome was no suspense!
All 79 elite disciples of Dao Sect were killed, and hundreds of innocent people were affected - in addition to the cannon fodder that Li An had used to confuse his sight, Daoling Sect also held the principle of killing the wrong people rather than letting them go, and all those related to these people were killed.
"Bury them."
Li An took a few people and buried the bodies of Dao Sect disciples in the ground, his expression was extremely calm.
What about Dao Sect disciples?
Blocking my way, provoking me...
Then I will kill you!
As for these disciples, from a certain perspective, they are all benevolent and righteous people who risked their lives to save the people, and they are worthy of praise, but Li An doesn't care.
Whether you serve the country and the people, or save the people...If you are a hindrance to me, then please die.
Not to mention just them, if there is a chance, Li An will not let go of even the head of Dao Sect!
…
After burying all the disciples of Dao Sect, he finally had peace of mind. No one would dare to ask him to do that.
Say that sentence in front of him, it's time to bury it.
And then, with the drastic changes in the outside world, Daoling Sect made a big move!
More and more powerful people arrived here, and Li An suspected that there were great masters among them.
"After I die, bury me here... My life has been spent here, let me guard this place!"
That day, according to Shui Changxiao's request, after digging the last pit, Li An was dying, and his life had come to an end. Several young people from Yingyuan Island surrounded him and listened to him arrange his funeral.
"In addition, all the foreign soil crystals we dug out... are given to Senior Shui, please be merciful and let you go. Now that the pits have been dug, it's useless for you to stay here..."
Li An's skin was almost covered with corpse spots, his hair was messy, and he was so thin that he was just skin and bones, like a zombie. After explaining his funeral, he slowly closed his eyes and fell down.
"Elder Ying!"
"Grand Master!"
"Grand Master!"
A group of young people on Yingyuan Island were all crying bitterly.
...
They buried Li An's body in the pit as Li An said.
...
"Elder Shui, Ying Huaihai is dead."
A disciple who was supervising came over and reported to Shui Changxiao, saying: "The body has been buried. Several descendants of Yingyuan Island sent a gift, which was the crystal of foreign soil they dug out."
"These descendants said that Ying Huaihai's last wish was to ask the elders to let the people of Yingyuan Island leave this place for his sake."
Hearing this, Shui Changxiao said coldly: "What a big face! See his sake? What is his sake?"
"Take the things and let them go."
Ying Huaihai? How could he care about a person who never cared about him when he was alive?
...
Outside world.
Boom!
It was as if an unimaginable force was sweeping in from the deeper depths of the South China Sea. Wherever it went, the waters of the South China Sea rose up against the sky, forming terrifying waves, as if it had turned into a ghost face, ready to devour everything in the world!
The great changes in the world... are coming!
…
