Chapter 103 - The First Battle During The Destruction Of The Divine Sect (1/2)
Chapter 103 The First Battle During The Destruction Of The Divine Sect
Li Changshou was only slightly surprised by the old fortune-teller’s secret meeting with the Crow Demon.
After all, he had known since his previous life that the second most complicated thing in this world was the human heart.
It would not be conservative to say that the person who appeared late at night was a Crow Demon.
At that moment, Li Changshou was merely using his Double-Eyed Spider cobweb and his immortal senses to observe the place from afar.
Other than knowing that “that thing” was at the early-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm, he could not determine whether it was a demonic cultivator.
It was also possible that the crows just now were just illusions and a type of manifestation technique.
The old fortune-teller lowered his head and reported for a while. The figure quickly nodded and threw two gold coins and a paper talisman on the ground. Then, he turned into a crow again and flew away silently. In the blink of an eye, he was gone…
Li Changshou pondered for a while. Out of consideration for his safety, he did not pursue the matter further.
After another hour, Li Changshou used the Earth Escape technique from the forest that was fifty kilometers away and secretly went underground in the temple.
From another perspective, “Shocking: In the dead of the night, a certain Sea G.o.d sneaked into his temple and interfered with the old temple!” is somehow a little thrilling and exciting.
He had no choice but to consider the possibility that the other party had put on a show for him to deliberately lure him into the trap. Hence, Li Changshou was very careful with his actions.
He did not appear directly. Instead, he used his fingernails to hook a trace of the Soft Immortal Disperser on the ground, completely bewitching the old fortune-teller who was sleeping soundly with the golden coins, and causing him to faint.
Li Changshou then took out a Dharma artifact, which was a rope that was as thin as hair.
The rope extended on its own and quietly crawled out of the ground before wrapping itself around the old fortune-teller’s forehead.
Soul-searching Technique: Misty Dream Tactic
That technique could cause the caster to enter a dream and reveal his memories in the dream. The disadvantage was that it could only be used on people with lower cultivation levels, which was why it was called a minor technique.
After a while, Li Changshou finished reading the story of the old fortune-teller’s “hard life”. He used the Earth Escape technique and sneaked away without staying for long.
At the same time, before he left, he did not forget to throw out a small amount of hangover medicine. He used the medicinal effects of that medicine and the Soft Immortal Disperser to make the old fortune-teller wake up normally tomorrow…
He quietly paced back and forth without leaving a trace behind.
After that, Li Changshou found a desolate mountain forest and made the paper effigy stop moving underground. He began to organize the information that he had obtained from the old fortune-teller.
That old fortune-teller…
On the surface, he was the person in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple of the Sea G.o.d Sect. In fact, he was the snitch of a total of seven sects within 1,500 kilometers, such as the ‘Crow G.o.d Sect’, the ‘Men and Women Sect’, the ‘old G.o.d Sect’, the ‘Great Murderous Sect’, and so on.
Li Changshou, the Sea G.o.d, felt… Very touched about a traitor like him.
If there were more traitors like him, would Li Changshou still have to go all out to destroy his own sect?
The crow just now was the Divine Envoy of the Crow G.o.d Sect which had instructed the old fortune-teller to monitor the “strange humans” that appeared there…
The conflict between sects that Li Changshou had sensed previously was the battle between the Crow G.o.d Sect and the Sea G.o.d Sect which were vying for incense and territory. The Crow G.o.d Sect was the first to attack.
Li Changshou had to consider a very serious problem.
The core of the entire Sea G.o.d Sect was actually the people in the Xiong Village. The village was already full of Divine Envoys and hundreds of strong people were running around.
They used the sea to express the Sea G.o.d’s graciousness, their muscles to promote the teachings of the Sea G.o.d, and their punches to display the power of the Sea G.o.d with their fists…
Li Changshou had never cared about that place before. He had never appeared in anyone’s dream or provided guidance before.
What are the people of the Xiong Village relying on to fight against the sects with the Perfected Immortal Divine Envoys?
Li Changshou was puzzled by that. He could not help but suspect that someone wanted to fatten up the Sea G.o.d before killing him!
The old fortune-teller knew a lot of internal information about the Sea G.o.d Sect.
Although the old fortune-teller was just a member who was in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple and had seven part-time jobs, he still had the ambition to climb up to the top and become an official Divine Envoy!
Regarding that… Li Changshou even wanted to show his spirit once and take the initiative to promote that old fortune-teller. He wanted to place him in the same position which could make the Sea G.o.d Sect become easily destroyed.
Ahem, let’s not joke around anymore.
Li Changshou headed to that place with the intention of letting the Sea G.o.d Sect collapse naturally. He wanted to get rid of that karma and clear the hidden danger.
The process could not trigger a war between the sects in the mortal world. He could not afford to create negative karma. He had to avoid achieving the opposite effect and causing the Sea G.o.d Sect to expand further.
Before arriving, Li Changshou had already thought of several plans.
The simplest and most effective method was to think of a way to make the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean lose his “G.o.dly halo”.
That would make the mortal devotees feel that they had believed in the wrong G.o.d.
He decided to go all out!
Li Changshou had also learned that three days later, there would be a huge Sea G.o.d Ceremony in Anshui City.
Due to the fact that the old fortune-teller was in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple and was quite far away, he could not go this time.
However, according to the old fortune-teller, many important figures of the Sea G.o.d Sect and tens of thousands of disciples would gather in Anshui City for a grand Sea G.o.d Sacrifice!
It was a good opportunity. When the time came, as long as Li Changshou would be able to defeat the ‘important figures’ of the Sea G.o.d Sect in person as long as his paper effigy appeared and shattered the statue there…
That could prove that the Sea G.o.d did not exist.
After that, as long as the same incident happened a few more times, the Sea G.o.d Sect would naturally collapse!
Although the plan was simple and there were no experts whom he had to deal with, Li Changshou still did not dare to be negligent…
He had to investigate, plan, and consider carefully!
Once I strike, I will destroy the Sea G.o.d!
Li Changshou started his operation that night.
He first circled around the Sea G.o.d Sect’s territory and used his immortal senses to check the various temples.
Two days before the Sea G.o.d Sacrifice began, Li Changshou arrived near Anshui City and investigated the Divine Envoys in detail. He also secretly tried to test the people of Xiong Village.
Li Changshou could already confirm that his “Divine Envoys” were at most “ordinary” people with plenty of energy. Very few of them had cultivation levels, but they were only at the Qi Refinement Realm and Soul Formation realm…
After that, Li Changshou kept searching for flaws in his plan.
In order to prevent the Sea G.o.d Sacrifice from being disturbed by the Crow G.o.d Sect, he hid the two ‘Heaven’ paper effigies outside Anshui City, making them ready to attack at any moment.
If the Crow Sect were to come and cause trouble, it would definitely cause a fight between the sects. Perhaps there would be a bloodbath, and it would cause me, the Sea G.o.d, to experience an increase in my negative karma.
He had to be wary.
