Chapter 116 Paying Someone Back in Their Own Coin, Doubled

On Little Qiong Peak, the flaming swords shuttled and the talisman array formations rotated. Two figures were fighting in mid-air.

Youqin Xuanya, who had changed into an icy-blue dress today, was still as beautiful as she was in the past.

In front of the straw hut, Little Aunt-Master and Little Junior Sister, who were sitting on both sides of the short table, were raising their heads and looking out while continuously munching on some snacks and sipping tea.

When Youqin Xuanya flew over their heads, Little Aunt-Master would yelp… “Little Ya! You’re wearing…”

Ling’e hurriedly interrupted, “Aunt-Master!”

Jiu Jiu continued, “Hey, hehe. Little Ya is still as pretty as she was yesterday.”

In the air, Li Changshou activated the array formation with a smile. With his agile movement technique, he seemed to be engaged in a battle with Youqin Xuanya. However, in reality… he was being chased and beaten up.

Youqin Xuanya followed Jiu Jiu’s instructions. Although she only used eighty percent of her cultivation level, she also used all her Dharma treasures as she took every sparring session seriously…

The talisman amulets for the talisman array formations were consumables. Although they were cheap, Li Changshou still felt the pinch after several days of sparring.

Every resource of their Little Poor Peak was valuable!

However, it was worth it.

In the sky above a dense forest near a town that was at the border of the North Continent and the South Continent, a figure in a cloak flew past. Not long after, another figure chased after it…

The two figures were in close proximity to each other.

The person in front was naturally the paper effigy that was disguised as Daoist Kuai Si by Li Changshou.

The one at the back was the actual Daoist Kuai Si, whom Li Changshou had been monitoring continuously.

Ten years of waiting… He had been chased for tens of thousands of kilometers…

The other party had been lured out so easily that Li Changshou had no chance to make an appearance in any of the methods that he had come up with after thinking for a long time.

He felt like he had not met his match at all. Although his opponent looked down on him, Li Changshou looked up to his opponent.

xLi Changshou did not lay an ambush in that direction or set up an array formation because that might trigger the other party’s spiritual perception. At the same time, Li Changshou was suppressing his murderous intent. He was thinking about how he could communicate with the other party to prevent him from having a premonition.

After taking a look at the Sensing Stone, Li Changshou felt that he already had the opportunity to make a move. At this moment, very few people were paying attention to them…

There was no hurry. He had to hold on.

His immortal senses did not stop for a moment. He probed the surrounding environment that was within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. He also probed up and down, from a high alt.i.tude to ten thousand feet underground.

Li Changshou devoted all of his energy to making continuous calculations and deductions.

One of the paper effigies remained put and lured the opponent out, while another paper effigy released the third paper effigy, as well as eight original paper dolls in another direction. They secretly set up the “home ground” that they would use later…

More than half of the treasures that he had bought with his monthly allowance from the sect and acc.u.mulated over a decade of practicing alchemy, were used there.

In order to make Ling’e feel a little involved, Li Changshou even deducted a few months’ worths of allowance from Ling’e and got her to exchange it for some materials to refine large batches of array formation foundations.

Of course, Ling’e did not know what Senior Brother was using those materials for. However, if Senior Brother needed them, she would get them for him.

Li Changshou liked to take the initiative, but he did not like to get embroiled with karma.

Today, Li Changshou had taken the initiative to make a move. He had already made a thorough plan, as well as a follow-up plan for responding to the situation.

Although he could not say that he was 100% confident since the Daoist whom he wanted to mess with could be considered a disciple of Ren School, the Daoist had already taken the bait.

At that moment, his confidence could be considered to be at about 98%.

…

The two figures flew 500 kilometers away. Daoist Kuai Si’s killing intent towards his impersonator intensified.

It was obvious that he had committed lots of sordid acts like killing others and robbing them of their treasures, as well as tailing. When he followed behind, he maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close. He was very experienced… After flying for 600 kilometers, Daoist Kuai Si began to increase his speed quietly. He continued to conceal his aura fluctuations and quietly approached from the side.

Daoist Kuai Si was about to attack the paper effigy who was pretending to be him.

What Li Changshou cared about was that there were no longer any immortal senses that were probing, shown on the Sensing Stones.

Clearly, tailing others and committing murder was considered normal in that town where humans and demons cohabited. It was nothing unusual.

The paper effigy, which was disguised as Daoist Kuai Si, secretly opened a porcelain bottle and continued flying for thousands of feet. All of a sudden, it turned around and looked behind.

Ten thousand feet behind him, Daoist Kuai Si frowned and stopped.

However, after that, Daoist Kuai Si sneered and slowly rose into the sky, remaining at the same alt.i.tude as his impersonator. “Fellow Daoist.” Daoist Kuai Si continued calmly, “If you’re going around pretending to be me, shouldn’t you give me an explanation? Since we have already formed this karma, I’m afraid we will have to do this today.”

Kuai Si’s impersonator’s expression changed. He slowly retreated in the air and cupped his hands while facing Daoist Kuai Si. He said, “Fellow Daoist, please don’t blame me. I’m only doing this because I want to take advantage of you. I have no intention of offending you.”

“Take advantage?”

Daoist Kuai Si rode a cloud and advanced forward. He held a longsword and a flying shuttle in his hands which were placed behind his back. His immortal power was also injected into his Dharma treasure…

A hint of panic appeared on the face of Kuai Si’s impersonator. “Fellow Daoist, I’m just pretending to be you. I didn’t tarnish your reputation. There’s no need for that.”

“Hah.” Daoist Kuai Si squinted. The flying shuttle had already disappeared from his hands.

The flying shuttle seemed to be able to disappear. At that moment, it made a huge detour and quietly touched the back of Kuai Si’s impersonator.

Li Changshou curled his lips and thought, This fellow is also an expert at sneak attacks and dirty tricks…

Well… Why should I say ‘also’…

Unfortunately, even though Daoist Kuai Si had the flying shuttle Dharma treasure, he was still less vigilant…

It was not easy to poison someone in the air as it would take some time to do so, and the action would easily be discovered by the other party.

However, at that moment, the two figures retreated and advanced respectively. Most of Daoist Kuai Si’s attention was fixed on controlling the flying shuttle… Suddenly, a piercing sound could be heard as the flying shuttle appeared behind Kuai Si’s impersonator. It was covered in blazing flames and it was smashed against the back of his head.

A cold smile appeared on Daoist Kuai Si’s lips. However, it instantly stiffened.

The aura of the person pretending to be him suddenly surged. He went from the initial-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm to the late-stage!

Just as his flying shuttle was about to hit the back of the other party’s head, a huge hand reached behind him. Immortal power gathered in the palm and it grabbed the flying shuttle, extinguis.h.i.+ng the immortal flames on it.

“Fellow Daoist.” Kuai Si’s impersonator grabbed the flying shuttle that was quivering continuously and he said coldly, “It seems that I will have to do this today.”

Daoist Kuai Si’s expression changed. However, he did not say anything and immediately retreated!

However, before he could turn around and retreat more than 100 feet, his vision suddenly turned dark and he fell to the ground…

His essence soul was in a daze and his mind was distracted.

However, the phony Kuai Si flew forward quickly. He held the flying shuttle in one hand and Daoist Kuai Si in the other. He instantly sealed Kuai Si’s cultivation level.

He quickly fell into the forest below and used Earth Escape to disappear.

The first step… was executed pretty well.

Although he had only plotted against a Perfected Immortal, he had paid attention to his acting skills and his lines. He had made calculations and predicted the other party’s reaction, after which he executed the perfect technique for poisoning…

A moment later…
