Qi Yuan looked at Li Changshou, who was sitting cross-legged, and was slightly stunned. He turned to glare at Ling’e.
“Didn’t you say that your senior brother was unconscious? He’s well, isn’t he!?!”
Ling’e blinked and suddenly pointed at the spot behind Qi Yuan.
“Master, look! Senior Brother’s essence soul has left his body!”
“Eh?”
Qi Yuan turned around and saw his eldest disciple smiling apologetically at him.
A refres.h.i.+ng fragrance wafted up the tip of Old Daoist Qi Yuan’s nose. Before he could react, the medicinal effect had already taken effect on his essence soul.
The Turbid Immortal, who had a weaker foundation, rolled his eyes and slowly fell to the ground…
“Li Changshou” was quick-witted. He pulled out a beast-skin sack and placed his master inside.
He exclaimed gently, “Little!”
It was a custom-made version of Li Changshou’s Master’s personalized sack, which was made of more than ten types of spiritual beast hides. It instantly turned into the size of a pouch and was handed to Ling’e by Li Changshou.
Ling’e sealed the porcelain bottle in her hand and said uneasily, “Senior Brother, will Master scold us to death in the future for plotting against him like this?”
Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back.
He said via voice transmission, “You know Master’s personality as well. If a powerful enemy comes to attack, Master will definitely be the first to fight them. I will explain to Master later on.”
“Junior Sister, wait here for me, just like during the previous drills. In a while, the bell in the sect will ring. When the disciples rush to the Heaven-Breaking Peak, use the Earth Escape Technique to bring Master and me to the earth meridians. I want to use paper effigies to help me fight. My mind is not here.”
Ling’e looked serious as she said, “Yes! Senior Brother, don’t worry! I will take good care of you and Master!”
“Don’t worry too much. I will always be by your and Master’s side,” Li Changshou said. “Even if I cannot protect the Immortal Du Sect this time, I will still protect you two.”
Ling’e bit her lips and asked softly, “Senior Brother, I still feel uneasy… What level are you at now?”
Li Changshou pursed his lips. “Level 8 of Void Return Stage.”
“Oh.” Ling’e pursed her lips and did not ask further.
Li Changshou laughed and did not waste any more effort. After all, there were still many places where he needed to put more effort into…
This paper effigy sat in front of the Pill Furnace and closed his eyes.
Ling’e also knelt beside Li Changshou. She tied her master’s canvas bag around her waist and waited quietly for the bell to ring.
Although she did not know what was going on with the strong enemy, she felt that it was 80% right since Li Changshou said so…
As for the other 20%…
It’s possible that this is a small test that Senior Brother has for me!
…
While the two of them worked together to knock out their master, the two enemy troops had already charged from two directions, into the area 1,500 kilometers away where the Poison Arrays were the most densely-packed.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would be able to see some strange scenes.
Two swarms of black shadows flew close to the ground like locusts, but they kept moving and stopping. Their formation was disrupted from time to time.
In the various terrains on both sides in front of them, there would always be a thick fog that would gush out without warning.
Even though they were already on guard, they could not help but fall to the ground every time the Poison Array erupted.
Li Changshou was slightly impressed by that situation…
At this moment, the other party has yet to come to their senses.
Logically speaking, these guys should have felt that they had been exposed when they discovered the first Poison Array.
What Li Changshou was most worried about was that those puppets would fly into the sky and directly attack the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain gate. The Poison Array that followed would then not have much effect on them…
However, just as Li Changshou had predicted, after becoming puppets, the demons, humans, and spirits had lost most of their abilities to think. They only knew how to follow orders.
That gave the Poison Arrays a good opportunity to function.
After counting the distance between the two powerful enemies and the gate, he realized that it was already close to 2,500 kilometers.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He borrowed the hands of the two paper effigies and activated the remaining Poison Arrays that were facing both directions.
If he had known that the enemies were that tough, he would have set up ten times the number of Poison Arrays in a few directions at the same time. He might have been able to resolve most of the sect’s crisis…
Forget it. Elder did not give me that many poisonous pills anyway. It’s useless to think about it.
At the bottom of the tree trunk and the pond, two paper effigies who had completed the first half of their mission had disappeared and left temporarily.
Li Changshou’s mind…
was instantly s.h.i.+fted to the ‘Explode’ Paper Effigy No. 3 and No. 5!
In the blink of an eye, two sullen-faced elders flew out from a forest and a stream respectively, which were a few kilometers away from the mountain-protecting array formation.
They flew into the sky in a daze, looking down at the Immortal Du Sect from the southwest and northwest.
The location where those two old daoists were, perfectly corresponded to the two enemy troops!
Their auras were trembling, and immortal power surged within their bodies.
Immortal power emerged from the Immortal Du Sect and was immediately attracted by the two old cultivators.
An old-looking elder muttered some words that resonated with the thoughts of many other immortals.
“What are these two Fellow Daoists doing? Why do they look like strangers…”
Crack!
In the darkness, Li Changshou snapped his fingers and quickly retracted his thoughts from the two paper effigies.
“Open your eyes and take a look!”
The two old Daoists raised their heads and roared emitting dazzling immortal light from the inside out…
They then exploded outside the array!
The sound was like rumbling thunder. The immortal power that erupted transformed into a wave of air that surged forward, causing the mountain-protecting array to quake continuously!
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect who witnessed the scene… were completely confused.
What is going on?
Two Daoists suddenly appeared. They roared and self-destructed, just to shake the mountain-protecting array?
Just to let us hear the sounds?
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect was also awakened from his meditation…
The Golden Immortal Immortal Immortal Spiritual Sense looked in two different directions and immediately discovered two groups of black figures charging towards the Immortal Du Sect!
“Oh no!”
The middle-aged-looking Daoist priest dashed out of his seclusion chamber and appeared on the Heaven-Splitting Peak. He looked towards the north-west, and then towards the south-west. He shouted, and his voice traveled thousands of kilometers.
“Who are you? How dare you offend our Immortal Du Sect!”
“The elders of the various peaks, listen to my orders! Prepare for battle and defend the sect!”
The large bell beside the main hall was knocked against the pillar, and two Perfected Immortal executives immediately hugged it. They tried their best to knock on the bell inside the sect!
Those who were originally in seclusion, cultivating, playing chess, joking, or spending time with their Dao-companion in the sect were all awakened by the Sect Leader’s voice!
Numerous figures rushed out from each peak…
On the other side, the two groups of mosquito puppets that more than 2,000 kilometers away had finally discovered the fact that they had exposed their tracks…
Old Daoist Yuan Ze, who was wearing a withered-wood mask, and the other two phony Golden Immortals, gave orders simultaneously!
