Chapter 836 - 373: Settling Dao Sect’s Karma
In half a month, the news of the destruction of Purple Cloud Mountain had spread across the Eleven Heavens, and even this small town where Li An resided was abuzz with discussions.
"Purple Cloud Mountain’s legacy spans unknown ages, and now it has actually been annihilated!"
"The Saint Realm has retaliated, it’s said that unimaginably powerful experts have emerged, and there are also defiant figures from the orthodox Immortal Dao!"
"They say the revival of the Immortal Wind is about to appear? Is it true... Once the Immortal Wind revives, all those who have cultivated the deceitful Immortal Dao are doomed?"
The Eleven Heavens have thousands of famous mountains, the mere loss of Purple Cloud Mountain isn’t a significant blow, but the Saint Realm, having concealed itself for countless ages, has suddenly made a grand move, spreading the news of the revival of the Immortal Wind, causing a commotion!
After all, the prophecy of the revival of the Immortal Wind, seen with all their might by an Immortal Venerable before their death, has always drawn attention!
...
"Li Supreme, we’ve finally found you!"
On this day, Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others appeared in the small town where Li An had been living in seclusion, entering the small courtyard.
Seeing them, Li An showed a trace of surprise, seemingly unexpected that they had found him, and said, "How did you find me?"
Yunxi said, "Hongbo Fairy used a Secret Technique to confirm your location and sent us to fetch you."
She looked at Li An calmly, "Are you injured?"
Li An coughed twice, nodded, and sighed, "I still underestimated the strength of the deceitful Taiyi Golden Immortal. I was pierced through the chest by Ziyun Immortal’s blood sword, hunted down Leng Rufeng while dragging my injured body, but he still escaped. I was badly wounded, hence I hid in this place."
"Hongbo Fairy gave us this Healing Elixir before she left. She said it would be effective for you."
Yunxi took out a jade bottle and handed it to Li An. He frowned slightly and took it immediately. Indeed, the deceitful Taiyi Blood intentionally left in his body was completely dissolved, and his vitality instantly became extremely vigorous.
Li An was shocked.
Of course, this shock was feigned.
After all, with the pill Hongbo Fairy gave, it’s clear that he was never out of her sight all along. Having his many small tricks suddenly exposed, he naturally had to show "shock."
But inwardly, he was quite calm.
As expected!
If Hongbo Fairy really let him escape like that, it would indeed be unbelievable.
"What’s wrong, Li Supreme, uncomfortable?" Ye Cauldron said.
"It’s nothing... just feeling that Hongbo Fairy, truly possessing Daluo’s wisdom, has divine strategies..."
Li An murmured, sighing deeply. This sigh contained profound helplessness and despair, leaving Yunxi and Ye Cauldron somewhat puzzled. Now that Purple Cloud Mountain is taken, the revival of the Immortal Wind is imminent, yet Li Supreme doesn’t seem happy...
...
Quickly, they set out for the Saint Realm.
Upon returning to the Saint Realm, Li An scanned with his Divine Thought and found that indeed, the Saint Realm was gearing up, as forces from all major factions were gathering and preparing for war. After all, the battle of Purple Cloud Mountain was a signal, marking the beginning of the offensive against the deceitful!
Li An and the others returned directly to Dao Mountain.
On the way, he had already learned that, according to Hongbo Fairy’s command, the talented individuals who participated in the battle of Purple Cloud Mountain are now gathering within Dao Mountain, and Hongbo Fairy will bestow Immortal Pill.
If it weren’t for looking for Li An, Yunxi and the others would have already begun their seclusion.
Inside the main hall of Purple Cloud Mountain.
"Nephew’s strike was a great success. Now, within the deceitful, everyone knows the revival of the Immortal Wind is upon us, achieving the first great merit."
Hongbo Fairy was sitting above, with no sign of Purple Fairy, she smiled slightly, "I heard you were injured, rest well for a period, the next battle will be at Taiji Mountain."
Taiji Mountain, Longevity Immortal Palace!
Li An forced a smile, "Thank you, Master, for your concern. This disciple will do his utmost!"
After saying this, he didn’t move and remained in the hall. Hongbo Fairy glanced at him and waved her hand, letting Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others leave first.
"Something on your mind?"
"After this, will this disciple survive?"
Li An looked at Hongbo Fairy, as if this question was asked out of utter helplessness.
However, since his attempts to escape and create puppets didn’t escape the other side’s gaze, both parties were already clear, it was better to be frank.
"My junior said you are a deeply thoughtful person, and now it seems she was right."
Hongbo Fairy merely smiled and said, "I know you have many doubts in your heart, but one day you will understand, everything we do is for the world."
"If I truly wanted to harm you, given my junior’s character, she would risk her life to let you go."
Li An was silent for a long, long time before saying, "This disciple still wants to do something."
"Tell me."
"Before leaving, I want to leave the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, and many great Celestial Immortal Techniques to Dao Sect－－"
Hongbo Fairy raised her eyes slightly, scrutinized Li An a bit, and said, "Okay."
Only then did Li An bow, saying, "Thank you, Master Uncle, this disciple takes his leave－－"
After she left for a long, long time, Hongbo Fairy finally smiled slightly and said, "Junior, you once said this Li An is among the most heartless in the world, but now it seems, he still has some sincerity towards Dao Sect."
"First in the Space-Time Secret Realm, he managed to protect Dao Sect disciples by all means, later took action to suppress Taiyi, attacked Purple Cloud Mountain to avenge Dao Sect..."
A faint voice came from behind the screen, "When a man is about to die, his words are kind. Li An knows he may never return, so harboring some kindness is normal."
