Chapter 207 - 175: The Perfected Person Departs, Pei Yingyao’s Favoritism
Li Chang’an had long since planned the path he would take after reaching Foundation Establishment.
The Wu Clan Territory flashed through his mind.
After the Wu Family was annihilated,
that Tier Two Spirit Vein remained unguarded to this day.
When Li Chang’an spoke with Zheng Qingqing, he would occasionally hear her worry about this matter.
’If I really can’t find a suitable Spirit Vein, I can always go guard the Wu Clan Territory,’
Li Chang’an mused.
The Wu Clan Territory’s Spirit Vein was too remote, far from any major Marketplace or Immortal City, and it was only a Tier Two Low Grade.
He wasn’t actually very satisfied with it; it was just a backup option.
’Oh well, these are problems for after I reach Foundation Establishment.’
Li Chang’an dismissed his thoughts and began to set up the Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation.
It was his first time setting up an Array of such a high Tier. He made constant mistakes during the Array Formation process and spent the entire night before he finally succeeded.
With that, the residence was now protected by three Tier Two Arrays!
The outermost layer was the Thundercloud Annihilation Array, the middle layer was the Ring Array he had dismantled from the Secret Realm Cave Mansion, and the innermost layer was the Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation.
Arrays within arrays, all interlinked.
Even a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator wouldn’t gain any advantage by barging in!
’It’s a shame I’m not an Array Master myself, or I could have connected these three Arrays more tightly.’
Li Chang’an sighed softly.
「A moment later.」
He had Xiaohai and Dahuang enter the Array to test it.
The two critters couldn’t even get past the outermost Thundercloud Annihilation Array. After being let into the Second and Third Layers of the Array, they became completely disoriented and got lost inside.
"Alright, come on out!"
With a thought, Li Chang’an deactivated the Array.
Only then did the turtle and the dog find their way out, scurrying out with lingering fear.
...
「More than half a year later.」
Under the protection of the triple Grand Array, Li Chang’an’s cultivation path was quite peaceful, with almost no disturbances.
His Magical Power grew steadily, and his foundation became deeper and deeper.
His Path of Body Refinement also saw considerable progress.
Although he had yet to break through to Tier Two, his physique gradually grew stronger, already surpassing the limits of Tier One Peak.
If he were to fight an enemy up close,
he could shatter the bodies of most Qi Refining Cultivators with a single punch!
Amidst the joy of constantly growing stronger, the pain of Body Refinement was hardly worth mentioning.
To distract himself from the pain, Li Chang’an studied Tier Two Puppetry Technique during his Body Refinement, and his insights into the path of puppetry gradually deepened.
’I should be able to try making a Tier Two Puppet now. It’s just that I still haven’t gathered all the necessary materials. I’ll have to visit the Black Market more often.’
...
「The next day.」
Li Chang’an packed his things, preparing to head to the Black Market.
But a sudden conflict interrupted his plans.
Cao Shaolong had come again!
This time,
he had two Foundation Establishment Powerhouses with him.
"Cao Shaolong, what are you trying to do now?"
Su Yuyan stepped forward, standing at the courtyard gate to block the three of them.
Cao Shaolong’s gaze was ice-cold. He glanced at Li Chang’an in the courtyard, killing intent surging in his eyes.
He said coldly, "Su Yuyan, I suspect Li Chang’an killed my Cyan Cloud Sect disciple, Cao Hao. I have invited two Law Enforcement Elders to escort him to the Cyan Cloud Sect for interrogation!"
"Absurd!"
Su Yuyan’s expression was cold as she rebuked him without holding back.
She looked at the two Elders and asked, "Elder Niu, Elder Ma, do you have any evidence?"
These two Law Enforcement Elders, one named Niu Hao and the other Ma Yang, were the two most active Elders in the Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, constantly traveling on behalf of the Sect.
Hearing this, the two of them exchanged a glance.
Niu Hao shook his head and said, "We have no evidence yet, it’s merely a suspicion. However, Cao Hao didn’t have many enemies. Li Chang’an is a suspect in his unexpected death, so I’ve come to take him..."
"If you don’t have evidence, then get out!"
Su Yuyan’s face was like frost. Her Longsword left its sheath, releasing an intense Sword Qi that was chilling to the bone.
The expressions of Niu Hao and Ma Yang changed instantly.
Although they had reached Foundation Establishment earlier than Su Yuyan, if they were to truly fight, it was hard to say who would come out on top.
Besides,
Su Yuyan had a master at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment backing her!
She was simply not someone they could afford to offend!
But Cao Shaolong refused to back down. He said coldly, "Su Yuyan, Elder Niu and Elder Ma are acting on behalf of the Sect. By obstructing them, you are defying the Sect’s will. Are you trying to betray the Sect?"
His words were truly malicious.
A single misstep could get her labeled a traitor to the Sect.
However,
Su Yuyan didn’t waste any more words. Her figure flashed, and killing intent billowed out.
She attacked directly!
BOOM!
A ferocious Sword Intent erupted in an instant.
Tens of thousands of golden sword glints appeared, like a brilliant sun, dazzling to the eye as they blasted toward Cao Shaolong.
Cao Shaolong’s expression changed drastically.
His figure shot backward as he swung his hands, casting a Defense Magic.
An instant later,
the terrifying Sword Dao Technique slammed into him!
RUMBLE!
Following a deafening roar, an unimaginably terrifying power swept out in all directions, and the very ground trembled.
Destructive power raged wildly, the ground collapsed, and countless houses were destroyed.
The sounds of countless screams and wails rose from all around.
It was impossible to know how many Qi Refining Cultivators had been caught in the blast.
Su Yuyan’s aura did not diminish; it grew even more terrifying. Like a drawn blade, she struck again with unparalleled, astonishing killing intent!
"No, stop!"
"This is Yellow Crane Immortal City!"
Elder Niu and Elder Ma cried out in unison, their faces filled with horror.
They never would have imagined
that being invited to capture a mere Qi Refining Loose Cultivator would cause such a massive commotion.
Two Foundation Establishment experts from the Cyan Cloud Sect had started a battle in Yellow Crane Immortal City, causing countless deaths and injuries!
This incident,
if not handled properly,
could escalate into a confrontation between two Golden Core Influences!
