Chapter 85 - The Plan to Destroy Mosquitoes Is… (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Elder, you should go to Heaven-Breaking Peak first. I will return to the peak to cultivate soon.”
He had just entered the mountain-protecting array and entered the mountain gate carved out of white jade.
Li Changshou handed the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the treasure pouch containing the battle spoils to Elder Wan Linyun respectfully.
It was not that he did not want to hide and keep any of the treasures for himself.
Most of the storage Dharma treasures that he had collected this time were destroyed in Elder Wan Linyun’s poisonous flames. There was not much value left…
Moreover, it was a matter that concerned the survival of the sect.
It was not easy for him to have someone to rely on in the vast Primordial world.
To be frank, the Immortal Du Sect had always treated him well as an “outstanding” disciple. Even though he was the weakest and poorest disciple in the sect, he had never been put in a spot or reprimanded by anyone since he started cultivating.
On the contrary, many elders of the Hundred Mortal Hall took care of him on account of the spiritual fish and snakeheads…
Therefore, Li Changshou did not want to see the sect fall.
For example, he had revealed the two trump cards, the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the Sensing Stone, in front of Elder Wan Linyun today.
That was a small effort for him.
His principle was to help only when he was certain that he could protect himself.
Elder Wan Linyun squinted when he saw Li Changshou lowering his head to hand over the treasures and Soul-Bewitching Pearls. He revealed a cold smile and kept them in his sleeve.
The Perfected Immortal executives at the immortal sect who were hanging their heads low and the immortals who were guarding the gate, were all worried for Li Changshou.
They did not know who this disciple who was at the Void Return Stage was, but… they felt that he would be unpredictable after seeing Elder Wan Linyun’s smile!
Elder Wan Linyun immediately flew to the Heaven-Breaking Peak in a bid to talk to the Sect Leader and Grand Elder about the matter.
Li Changshou turned around and bowed to the immortals in the sect.
He then rode a cloud and flew at a low alt.i.tude. He found a cloud path that was rarely used and slowly drifted towards Little Qiong Peak.
On the way back, Li Changshou had been thinking about the mosquito that the paper doll had killed…
This mosquito…
I wonder if mosquito repellent would work on them.
When he returned to Little Qiong Peak, he saw that his junior and master were still practicing their escape techniques diligently.
Li Changshou did not disturb them and went straight to the Pill Chamber.
He activated various array formations and looked at the Sensing Stones that were hanging all over the place. Then, he let the paper effigy return to its original appearance…
A wisp of green smoke floated out from the ground and condensed into Li Changshou’s figure. He lifted his hand and grabbed the paper effigy before putting it into his sleeve.
He mumbled, “Speaking of mosquito-killing agents… What is going on? What are mosquitoes afraid of? Should I add poison to blood?”
Li Changshou was amused by his own thoughts.
If it was really a ruthless character like Daoist Wen, he would definitely not be able to deal with them.
However, Li Changshou could think of a way to deal with a mosquito that could control puppets and be smacked to death by paper effigies, like the ones he encountered today.
The Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had natural targets to restrain!
Come to think of it…
The various arrangements that I had made in the past six months have not been in vain.
The sacrifice of those old trees was worth it!
Li Changshou lamented in his heart. He took out the previous paper effigies, who had cleaned up the battlefield and recited the sutras.
He opened the Pill Furnace and injected the True Samadhi Flames into the paper dolls with the original mystical abilities.
The flames danced, and the paper effigies turned into ashes.
Then, Li Changshou checked the pieces of items that could prevent deductions on his body…
After making sure that everything was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Very quickly, he was lost in his thoughts again. He quietly thought about what he might have exposed.
The paper effigies that killed the mosquito had simulated his aura…
He and Elder Wan Linyun had never shown themselves…
The Elder’s True Flames almost burnt that mountain down to nothing…
“There should not be any mistakes.”
However, Li Changshou realized that Elder Wan Linyun shared a similarity with his master. They were both easily triggered.
Could it be that they had been cultivating in the mountains for too long and had forgotten about the dangers of the Primordial World?
Fortunately, I managed to stop the elder in time the past few times. Otherwise, if he personally appeared and was ambushed by the mosquitoes, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
As he paced back and forth in the Pill Chamber, he kept trying to figure out what was going on. His train of thought gradually became clearer…
What happened today was not beyond his expectations.
Half a year ago, he had made a list of all the possible ways things could develop.
The battle today only confirmed two or three storylines.
“As expected.”
Apart from the fact that the Immortal Du Sect was under the Ren School, there was nothing special about it.
The reason why he had attracted the attention of others was that the Immortal Du Sect and the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Golden Ao Island had a little conflict earlier on.
Some people wanted to make an issue of that.
This mastermind had set up a trap in front of the Golden Palace Sect in the Middle Continent and set up an ambush on the Immortal Du Sect. That was to improve the Immortal Du Sect’s reputation so that the three sects would know that there was a sect in the East Continent that taught Dao.
After that, the mastermind would take advantage of the meet between the Three Sects and the Golden Palace Sect to control the puppets and destroy the Immortal Du Sect…
To the mastermind, the price and risks were very small but they could achieve a great goal!
Li Changshou seemed to have seen a black shadow standing behind the Immortal Du Sect and reaching out to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
However, there was an even more magnificent figure behind the black figure. It was slightly blurry, and it wanted to slap the black figure in front of it away.
The major sects were fighting in secret.
The Immortal Du Sect had a chance of winning.
The mastermind behind all of this did not dare to come down personally. He only dared to control the puppet remotely through mosquitoes!
This point was verified through the memory fragments of the remnant soul. In the memories of those people and demons, there were the sounds of mosquitoes.
The main point was what the Immortal Du Sect would do next.
If Li Changshou’s prediction was correct, there would be a series of sounds soon…
It was definitely not going to be the cla.s.sic sutra of a certain monk in his afterlife.
Suddenly…
Ding~
Ding~
The Heaven-Breaking Peak bell rang.
The sound of the bell was extremely penetrating this time.
…
Once the bell rang, two figures flew out from the various peaks and flew towards the Immortal Du Sect on the main peak.
By the lake, Qi Yuan immediately rushed to Heaven-Breaking Peak on a cloud when he heard the bell ringing.
After all, he was the master of a peak in name.
When Li Changshou saw that, he quickly sent a few instructions to his master. He instructed his master to say silent no matter what he heard or saw and told him to just follow the sect’s arrangements.
The sound of the bell woke many disciples who were in seclusion. The Immortal Du Sect became livelier.
The bell that rang during emergency situations might not even ring once every thousand years. The Qi Refinement cultivators of the various peaks were all watching, wondering what had happened…
