Chapter 320 Surrender to the Enemy

"Master, this person is a little strange, something is wrong..."

Yuan Zhou frowned slightly.

"What about Ye Bai? What do you think?"

Leng Rufeng asked Su Ye Bai.

Su Ye Bai said: "Disciple also thinks something is wrong. This person seemed to have hidden something from me and Senior Brother Yuan before. He just waited for Master to come."

Leng Rufeng smiled slightly and said: "You are right."

"He is an interesting little ant. Although he has some tricks, his intentions are not bad after all... If he can really get the treasure for me, it will be fine to fulfill his painstaking efforts."

Who is Leng Rufeng? Can't he see the strangeness of Li An's behavior?

Obviously, Li An is deliberately trying to get this opportunity in front of him!

Li An must know something, and he has a certain degree of confidence.

But in front of a dignified Golden Immortal, what can he do? In Leng Rufeng's view, Li An has gone to great lengths to do so much, just to seek a step forward and want to show off more in front of him.

He is a clever person who can seize opportunities.

Of course, he did not really trust Li An. He had tampered with the death talisman he gave Li An. When Li An entered this space, his every move could not be hidden from his perception!

…

And at this moment.

Li An had already entered the light gate, and an inexplicable murderous intent instantly locked onto him, as if to kill all the creatures that entered this place!

Li An did not hesitate and immediately took out the Dao Sect Master Order!

As soon as this item came out, the endless murderous intent and the power of the extinction formation that were almost boiling in this place instantly calmed down.

With the Dao Sect Master Order, you can enter safely!

This is what Li An relies on to come here.

And he came here to get the treasure of this place for Leng Rufeng.

Li An weighed it over and over again.

If he does nothing, relying on the attraction of Dao Zong's treasure to Leng Rufeng, as well as the killing mechanism set up here, plus the secret action of Fu Xianzhe when this place really manifests, the intentions of Dao Zong and Fu Xianzhe should be able to be successfully realized, and Leng Rufeng will most likely die!

But doing so is of no benefit to Li An personally.

He let Leng Rufeng come in advance, discovered this place, and took the initiative to enter, with only one purpose: to show goodwill!

Win Leng Rufeng's trust, and then join Zixiao Mountain.

Zixiao Mountain is one of the three thousand famous mountains, a real treasure land for cultivation, which is by no means comparable to a small clan like Gong Clan. Entering it, the development prospects are incomparable. Similarly, only by entering this place can you get access to more core confidential information.

Now Li An is practicing both the orthodox immortal way and the weird immortal way. Staying on the Gong Clan platform is too low, and the resources are limited. This is only one of the reasons that limits his cultivation speed. He cannot access higher-level information, and lacks strategies for subsequent cultivation. This is fatal.

For example, his immortal cultivation is now stuck in the Mahayana stage, but he cannot enter the Tribulation Stage. He must find the Immortal Restoration Organization to find a way out. After all, there must be secret places in the Immortal Restoration Organization for orthodox immortal cultivators to break through and advance.

But if he stays in Gong Clan, what if he becomes the head of the guest officials? It is difficult to get in touch with the relevant content of the Immortal Restoration.

But Zixiao Mountain is different. Zixiao Mountain has been tracking down the Immortal Restoration. Entering it will have many benefits for Li An!

He chose Gong Clan at the beginning just to complete the transformation from a person in the spirit world to a strange creature. Now that he has obtained an identity, it is naturally impossible for him to stay in Gong Clan.

And Zixiao Mountain is the only famous mountain in Zixiaozhou. The threshold is extremely high. It is extremely difficult to enter. Without special opportunities, it is impossible for Li An, who has this status, to enter.

Leng Rufeng is his best choice and breakthrough.

So, even if Leng Rufeng is a traitor to Dao Sect, what if he destroyed the spirit world? For Li An, at this stage, if he can provide Li An with the greatest benefit, then they can cooperate temporarily.

What revenge, killing quickly... not considering the gains and losses, that is what a fool does.

Not long after, Li An had entered the deepest part of this space, and he saw a black stone box wrapped in countless lights!

The stone box was pitch black, and it seemed that the material was consistent with the Taoist master's order. The Taoist rhyme was lingering, and it was difficult for outsiders to approach. Li An raised the master's order and entered it. At this moment, he represented the will of the Taoist master.

So, everything went so smoothly. He easily took the black box from the many lights, and then turned and left.

...

Not long after.

On Tianyi Peak, in the light gate, Li An walked out.

The moment he walked out, the large space in the light gate behind him seemed to have lost its meaning of existence. A large area collapsed, and the void shook, disturbing the ground and mountains on Tianyi Peak, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

"It's out!"

"Where's the thing?"

Su Yebai and the others all looked at Li An.

Li An walked to Leng Rufeng, presented the black box and the Dao Sect's master's order with both hands, and said: "Please check it, senior--"

Everything that happened in the light gate did not escape Leng Rufeng's eyes. He did not ask where the master's order came from, and took it. He looked at the black stone box in his hand, and his eyes showed a fiery color.

"Yes, that's right. The seal of the founder of the Dao Sect has been passed down for countless years. Until now, no one has ever opened it. The treasure of the Dao Sect is in it!"

Leng Rufeng murmured.

"Congratulations, Master. If you get this thing, you can fight against the catastrophe and get the Taiyi fruit position. From now on, Zixiao Mountain should have a new master!"

Yuanzhou spoke respectfully!

Su Yebai also followed the salute. Leng Rufeng smiled slightly. He had been searching for this for a long time because he had heard a Daluo Jinxian from the Dao Sect say that those who obtained the treasure of the Dao Sect could fight against all the demons and disasters in the world. He had been at the Jinxian level for a long time and wanted to move forward and achieve Taiyi, but the risk of strange disasters was too high. It was indescribable and he would lose his true self.

If this thing was really useful, he could be among the Taiyi. Maybe the Purple Sky Mountain would really fall into his hands in the future.

His mind could not help but become a little nervous and solemn, and he immediately started to use the Dao Sect's mysterious skills.

He had been a strange creature for a long time, and the Dao Sect's skills had long been abandoned. Now he was still a little awkward when he started to use them again, but he held the Dao Sect's master order in one hand to help his magic power. The seal on the black stone box that had existed for who knows how many years slowly melted away and soon disappeared.

He gently opened the black stone box, and at the same time, a thick gray mist appeared on his body inexplicably, covering him completely!

He was very cautious, and he could disappear and flee at any time.

Yuanzhou, Su Yebai and others saw this and took a step back, ready to evacuate.

However, when the lid of the stone box was opened, there was no change inside, and it was as quiet as death. Everyone was waiting attentively, but Leng Rufeng's face first showed a look of surprise, and then a complex expression flashed across his face, and then he laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha... So that's it, so that's it!"

While he was talking, he crushed the stone box with one hand!

The stone box turned into powder and fell from his hand. This scene made Li An and others stunned.

"Master, what... what's going on?"

Yuanzhou asked hurriedly.

"Do you know what's in this stone box?" Leng Rufeng spoke, and there seemed to be a flash of sadness in his eyes, but it soon turned into self-mockery: "Only eight words!" "Follow the will of heaven and go against the trend!" "Follow the will of heaven and go against the trend!" He repeated, "What a great Daluo Jinxian, what a great Dao Sect, what a great one to follow the will of heaven and go against the trend!" Yuanzhou and others were all stunned. It is said that the treasure of Dao Sect is just these eight words... "Trap, this is a trap!" Yuanzhou spoke immediately after reacting. Su Yebai and Li An were silent. Both of them were born in Dao Sect and had a deeper understanding of Dao Sect. The so-called treasure of Dao Sect...maybe, it is really just these eight words. "It can't be false." Leng Rufeng also shook his head and said, "This is the seal of the founder of the Dao Sect, and what the Daluo Jinxian said is not wrong. Haha, none of the people in the Dao Sect have ever been trapped by the heart calamity. In the final analysis, it is the truth of eight words. What a pity, what a pity..." I don't know what he is regretting. He adjusted himself very quickly and returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He no longer entangled in this matter, but looked at Li An and said, "Boy, you should have known about this a long time ago?" Li An immediately bowed and said, "Senior, when I dismembered Tai Qingzi, I cut out this token of the Dao Sect from his heart, and on the token, there is a Yuanshen of Tai Qingzi. I have practiced the magic sect's skills, so I refined him. I know, I know about this..." "Bold! So you already knew it, but you just said it now?!" Yuanzhou was immediately furious. Li An said: "Your Excellency, the space here will not be revealed until about 200 years later. I thought it was useless to tell you in advance, so I just kept observing..." He seemed a little nervous and afraid. Yuanzhou wanted to ask more questions, but Leng Rufeng waved his hand and said, "Forget it. With such a character, you are a person who can endure until today. Tell me, what do you want?"

Li An bowed and gritted his teeth and said, "Junior wants to become your disciple!"

Leng Rufeng said, "As a member of the Demon Sect, you know that the Demon Sect is also a popular sect in the Eleventh Heaven, especially the old demon Taotian, who is notorious..."

"No matter what method, as long as it can make oneself stronger, it is a good method! But, if the master is not pleased, I am willing to give up my magic skills!"

Leng Rufeng's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he nodded and said, "Well, in this case, I will accept you as a registered disciple, and wait and see your performance in the future, and then I will really accept you as my disciple!"

"Pack up your things and follow me back to Zixiao Mountain!"

Li An heard this and thanked him profusely!

...

The news that Li An was valued by Leng Rufeng and accepted as a disciple spread, and everyone in the Dao Sect and Gong Clan was shocked.

"What? Gu Fan..."

"Isn't he a guest of our Gong Clan? How come he suddenly has a relationship with Zixiao Mountain..."

"For many years, our Gong Clan has gone through a lot of hardships to select a few people to enter Zixiao Mountain for cultivation. The performance of our family disciples in Zixiao Mountain can often affect the prosperity and decline of our family, but now, a person from another family has actually entered..."

There was a lot of discussion!

"This Gu Fan..."

Gong Shanye looked grim, and said, "I really didn't expect that he would have the day of turning into a dragon!"

Next to him, an elder shook his head and said, "Shanye, I'm afraid... it's really a wrong move to make an enemy of this person!"

Gong Shanye said, "Then... what should I do now?"

"What can I do? Go and see him off! If I can save some, I will save some..."

"I heard that he is just a nominal disciple. Although his status is different, his words will not affect your success or failure. Don't be nervous."

...

On the other side.

"He became a disciple of Zixiao Mountain?"

Gong Shanyu was stunned for a moment when she heard it.

She had mixed feelings in her heart.

At the beginning, her sister had wanted to match her with Gu Fan, but she didn't look down on him at all, and even complained in her heart that her sister wanted to sacrifice her happiness for her own benefit...

But now, she is a little...

Regretful!

Her aptitude is not good, and her status in the family is not high. The best ending in this life is to find a collateral descendant of another family as a partner.

The people of Zixiao Mountain, that's what she needs to look up to!

If she hadn't been so resolute at the beginning, would she now...

"Ah."

Gong Shanxiu also sighed softly and said, "I know this person will be good in the future, but I didn't expect that he would fly so high and so fast..."

"Shanyu, go prepare a heavy gift. We have been friends with him, and we must find a way to continue this friendship."

...

That day, Gong Shanye and others saw Li An off.

Li An naturally accepted all the gifts they prepared.

"Such a gift is too expensive..."

Seeing what Gong Shanxiu sent, Li An couldn't help but speak.

This is a mysterious medicine - Xiangucao!

Although Li An has eight of them hidden on his body, normally, he is only in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and it is really beyond the standard for others to give him such a heavy gift.

"Mr. Gu has a friendship with us, what's this little gift?" Gong Shanxiu smiled and said, "I have a cousin who is also in Zixiao Mountain. His name is Gong Shanting. When he was young, he was the first genius of my Gong family and I have a good relationship. Mr. Gu is unfamiliar with the place. If you need anything, you may as well go directly to my cousin. At that time, just tell him that you and I are family, and he will understand." This woman has good skills and is very good at dealing with people. Moreover, Gong Shanting must be a supporter of her lineage. If Li An went to find Gong Shanting, in a sense, Li An would also become her supporter behind the scenes. "Thank you, fourth lady." Li An thanked him and turned away. "He didn't even say a word to me..." Gong Shanyu saw Li An leave so coldly, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. "Shanyu, the only chance to catch a man with potential is when he is not famous."

Gong Shanxiu sighed: "She wants a man's sincerity, but she is unwilling to accompany him through his lows... Girls are greedy, but there is a saying in the secular world that sugarcane is not sweet at both ends, and there must be losses if there is gain."

Gong Shanyu was silent.

...

Leaving Dao Sect with Leng Rufeng and others, Li An did not look back.

The speed was very fast, and the scenery of the spiritual world quickly moved away in front of them, and then arrived at the intersection of the two worlds. Leng Rufeng waved his sleeves, and a terrifying immortal light shot out. In an instant, a sky bridge appeared between the two worlds!

If the Gong family and other forces want to come over, they need to build a bridge across the two worlds. I don't know how much resources and time it will take, but for this kind of person, it is just a wave of the hand.

Golden Immortal!

Once you reach the level of Golden Immortal, it is said that your body is indestructible and it is difficult to be injured by disasters. Such people are top-notch masters in Zixiaozhou. One word can really affect the rise and fall of a force!

After crossing the two realms from the sky bridge, Li An arrived at the eleventh day, and the border state appeared in front of him. Li An had been here before, but he did not stop at this moment. The scenery in front of him changed, and he flew across the sky. After a while, he had flown over an unknown distance, and a towering fairy mountain appeared in front of him!

This fairy mountain range is undulating. Between the mountains and fields, there are all kinds of rich and strange essences gushing up, turning into purple demon clouds in the sky, stretching across thousands of miles. There are faint fairy palaces standing in the sky, which is really a fairy residence and a fairyland.

After landing, he felt a strong stream of strange essences filling him. Li An took a deep breath and felt very comfortable!

Zixiao Mountain is indeed a real treasure land for cultivation. The concentration of strange essences here is far better than Li An.

The Yi family, Gong family, etc. that I had stayed with!

Leng Rufeng disappeared when he returned to the mountain. Yuanzhou and Su Yebai didn't have time to care about such a registered disciple. Yuanzhou waved his hand and called someone over, saying, "Luo Yuan, this is the registered disciple that Master just accepted. His name is Gu Fan. You take him to Dengyun Palace."

Luo Yuan was wearing a light white Taoist robe. He was nearly middle-aged and should be much older than Yuanzhou, but he was very respectful to Yuanzhou and said, "I will obey my senior brother's order!"

He stretched out his hand to Li An and said, "Junior brother Gu Fan, please follow me."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother——"

Li An bowed and followed Luo Yuan away.

Luo Yuan looked at Li An for a few times, and then asked about Li An's background indirectly, but his words were quite cautious and polite. Li An said a few simple words, saying that he was a guest official in Gong Clan before, and was accepted into the sect only because he was favored by the master. However, Luo Yuan did not despise him, but became more cautious.

After all, it was not the season for Zixiao Mountain to recruit disciples, but Li An was able to come, and was personally accepted as a registered disciple by Elder Leng Rufeng... What a close relationship.

It is definitely worth treating with caution and making friends with.

Along the way, Li An also took the opportunity to ask Luo Yuan about the basic situation of Zixiao Mountain.

Zixiao Mountain has a long history. In the legendary "Heavenly Court Era", it was already one of the famous immortal mountains. Later, in the Weird Era, it also became a holy place for cultivation.

Now the owner of Zixiao Mountain is "Ziyun Immortal", whose cultivation is at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the best in Zixiaozhou. In addition, there are four great golden immortals, namely Leng Rufeng, Zhou Yudao, Nan Jibei, and Guxian!

There are even more celestial beings in the mountain. The elders who teach skills and the masters of each hall are all at this level of cultivation. In Zixiao Mountain, many disciples are at the Xuanxian level, and the immortal level is everywhere. People like Li An who are in the Tribulation Period are the last of the last!

While talking, Luo Yuan had already led Li An to Dengyun Palace.

Dengyun Palace is where the registered disciples practice. According to Luo Yuan, Zixiao Mountain only recruits disciples from outside every 20 years. All the recruited disciples are granted the status of registered disciples. They have to practice in Dengyun Palace for 30 years to see their strengths and weaknesses, and then they will be assessed. If they perform outstandingly, they may be valued by the elders and selected as their personal disciples. At that time, they will have a promising future.

The registered disciples in Dengyun Palace today were all recruited 12 years ago. Li An is equivalent to the "transfer students" in modern society several generations ago.

Luo Yuan took Li An to meet the Palace Master of Dengyun Palace, Jinbi Immortal. Jinbi Immortal was a celestial being, but he looked hunchbacked, with tumors growing all over half of his face, which looked very scary!

"Did Elder Rufeng bring someone personally?"

Jinbi Immortal nodded and said, "I know, let's arrange it."

After meeting the Palace Master, Li An received the corresponding Taoist robes, identity tokens, etc. under the leadership of Luo Yuan, and was sent to a residential area attached to Dengyun Palace.

This residential area is on a hillside, all of which are stone houses. There is a stream flowing down the hillside, and the gray mist in the stream is obviously a rare source of strange air!

Li An has long known that even if it is a different way of cultivation, it is also indispensable to support resources such as "wealth, friends, law and land". The orthodox way of immortals requires spiritual veins, cave heaven and blessed land, etc., and the core of the different way of cultivation is this source of strange air.

After the strangeness came, many strange air springs appeared between heaven and earth. For example, the ancestral land of Gong family is said to be a lake. The strange air in the lake is endless and can also form strange crystals. This is why Gong family has a place to settle down. The Yi family is similar. The source is a mysterious wind tunnel...

Zixiao Mountain is a famous mountain and a holy place for cultivation. Therefore, the strange air spring where this registered disciple lives is no weaker than the lake wind tunnel of Gong family and Yi family!

But Li An came late, so the best position near the stream has almost been occupied.

"Little Fatty, move your nest, someone else wants to live in this house."

Luo Yuan was very direct. Before Li An could choose, he took Li An to knock on the door of a residence near the stream.

In the stone house, a round head popped out, and a little fat man said: "Brother Luo...what's wrong?"

"If I tell you to make room, just make room quickly, why are you wasting your words?"

Luo Yuan was impatient. Obviously, this little fat guy didn't have a high status among the many registered disciples, and his cultivation was just like Li An, just transcending the tribulation, so Luo Yuan controlled him!

Li An took a look, but his heart moved. He found that the origin of this little fat guy... seemed a little strange.

What he cultivated didn't seem to be the real strange energy, but it was a bit like the orthodox immortal way, but it seemed that something covered it up, so Li An couldn't see it clearly.

He suddenly became very interested in this little fat guy, but at this moment Luo Yuan was seeking benefits for him, so he naturally couldn't say anything, so he just waited in silence.

The little fat man looked at Li An twice, and seemed a little aggrieved: "Brother Luo Yuan, he is also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage..."

Luo Yuan took a step forward and threw him out, "Are you worthy of comparing with him?"

Then he turned his head and looked at Li An and said: "Brother Gu, you can live here to practice."

After that, he leaned closer and whispered: "But you have to pay attention. Our group was introduced to the sect by Brother Yuanzhou. The group on the left is from the ancient immortal elders, and the group on the upper right is from the Nanjibei elders..."

Li An suddenly realized!

There will be different mountaintops in any force, and this situation seems to be particularly obvious in Zixiao Mountain.

A disciple's affiliation has been divided since the beginning!

Although the Golden Immortal elders will not come forward to do these trivial matters, their true disciples, such as Yuanzhou, Su Yebai and others, are responsible for recruiting new disciples. Those who enter Dao Sect through their hands can only choose to follow them.

Even among these registered disciples in Dengyun Palace, there is no lack of fighting!

"In addition, your monthly allowance is fifty yuan. If it is not enough, you can take on tasks in the mountain gate, or sell your resources, etc."

This is similar to the Xuanyang Sect, Dao Sect and other forces that Li An has been in. The management and incentive methods for members within a complete organization are similar.

"Thank you, Brother Luo Yuan, for your care!"

Li An opened his mouth, and then directly presented a Xuanxian medicine, saying: "It's just a small gift, not a respect!"

Luo Yuan has a long history in the sect, and his cultivation is also Xuanxian. It is worth making friends with him!

Luo Yuan was quite surprised to see this, and said: "Junior brother, you are too polite. You and I are from the same sect, why do you have to be so..."

He was also enthusiastic about Li An for a purpose. After all, Li An was brought back by the Golden Immortal Elder himself. After the assessment period, he is likely to be a true disciple like Yuanzhou and others. If he doesn't flatter him now, he will have no chance in the future.

He was overjoyed by Li An's generous gift.

"We are from the same sect, so why should we distinguish between you and me? I can't use this herb for the time being, so just accept it!"

Li An was determined to give it to Luo Yuan, and he didn't refuse it. He just nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, I will be disrespectful. Junior brother, if you need anything in the future, just tell me!"

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and Luo Yuan left.

Li An officially settled down in Zixiao Mountain.

After settling down, Li An inexplicably thought that if Tai Qingzi knew that Li An had destroyed the secret he had given to Li An before his death, and even gave the order of the head of the Dao Sect to Leng Rufeng, and surrendered to the enemy, I wonder what he would think?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Li An never cares about other people's opinions when doing things, but only cares about his own interests...

He doesn't care about the opinions of a dead person!

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Li An got up and opened the door. It was the fat guy who was driven out by Luo Yuan. He was tiptoeing and said timidly: "I... I'm not here to cause trouble. I still haven't taken some things!"

...

And at this moment.

In a palace in Zixiao Mountain.

"Master, Gu Fan obviously has something to hide. Why don't you search his soul directly..."

Yuanzhou asked in confusion.

Leng Rufeng said: "This man is a demon cultivator, and he is very cunning. He will be very useful to me in the future. Don't be dissatisfied because he hid it from you. You should be more generous."

Yuanzhou hurriedly bowed his head: "Disciple obeys your order."

"Has Shen Lanyi come back?"

Yuanzhou said: "Master, Senior Brother Lanyi has not returned yet. He sent back a message a few days ago. He has tracked down the whereabouts of the witch Shangguan Shengxian and has found a clue. There seems to be a big demon behind the witch. The water is very deep!"

Leng Rufeng nodded: "Keep an eye on it, the whereabouts of the lid of the Taotian Demon Pot... You must find it for me!"

"The treasure of Dao Sect can't be relied on... Although some roads are dangerous, I have to explore them!"

...
