Chapter 94 "Seeking Stability"
Whispers and rustles filled the air.
"Li Changshou" and Ling'e stood before Youqin Xuanya. While Ling'e and Youqin Xuanya exchanged whispers, Li Changshou simply nodded or shook his head.
In reality, it was "Li Changshou" secretly transmitting his voice and discreetly handing a porcelain bottle to Youqin Xuanya...
"Why doesn't Senior Changshou step forward to do these things?"
Youqin Xuanya replied through voice transmission, "I know you, Senior Brother, don't want to be burdened by mundane fame, but these should be Senior Brother's achievements."
"Li Changshou" chuckled and transmitted, "Junior Sister Youqin, if you could see what I see and hear what I hear, you wouldn't ask such a question."
Youqin Xuanya was visibly taken aback. She gazed at Li Changshou and then lightly nodded to her smiling fellow senior apprentice brother.
She seemed to understand something.
Although Li Changshou didn't understand what exactly she had grasped...
But she should have understood something...
Li Changshou felt that he was gradually mastering some small tricks to deal with this junior sister of his.
Many disciples around witnessed this scene, but they had no idea what the three of them were whispering about.
"Who's that fellow apprentice?"
"The senior brother of Lan Linge, wasn't he the one who fought against the alchemist from Jinao Island and the prince from the Dragon Palace before?"
"Oh... the wolf-toothed club! How could I forget? I really have a terrible memory."
Li Changshou transmitted, "Junior Sister Youqin, time is of the essence. The enemy might arrive here any moment."
Youqin Xuanya quickly nodded and, wielding her sword, flew into the sky, overlooking the chaotic crowd below.
She shouted, "Everyone, time is running out, listen to me!
I have a method to repel the enemy.
The attacking enemy is riding on a Peng Demon and has traced the earth veins. Escaping from here is impossible!"
The disciples below just looked up without a word;
Fortunately, Youqin Xuanya was standing on a cloud that no one else could see...
She took out a porcelain bottle and exclaimed:
"Everyone, please look, this is Elder Wanlin Yun's gift, an extraordinary poison pill that can kill a celestial being!
Later, I will join a few senior brothers and sisters to set up a formation with this poison pill. Let's see if we can severely damage the enemy with it!
Everyone, please retreat to the underground cave near the earth veins and wait.
Elders, please also listen to Xuanya!
If we, the senior brothers and sisters, and I cannot succeed, then the elders will need to risk their lives to protect the disciples!"
Youqin Xuanya's speech was full of ups and downs, passionate and sincere.
If Li Changshou hadn't already arranged the next battle plan;
And during the recent battle at the mountain gate, Li Changshou had already figured out the strength of the attacking celestial cultivator. At this moment, he was 99.9% sure that he could defeat the enemy;
Even Li Changshou himself was almost moved by Youqin Xuanya's words...
By the way, that 0.1% chance of failure at the end, as usual, was attributed to the capriciousness of the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao's randomness must always be respected!
Several elders immediately stepped forward, wanting to replace Youqin Xuanya with the poison pill.
Elder Tian said, "Xuanya, celestial beings are not to be trifled with..."
"Elder!" Youqin Xuanya's eyes sparkled as she spoke firmly, "Please trust me!"
"Well..."
"Xuanya, I and Elder Tian will stay, what do you think?" Another true celestial realm outer affairs elder said.
"Then we two guards will set up another ambush in the underground cave," said one of the guards.
Youqin Xuanya thought for a moment, then immediately agreed upon hearing Li Changshou's voice transmission.
After exchanging a few words, the elders, along with the disciples who had just flown out from underground, immediately flew towards the deep valley of the mountain.
Today, these disciples who had not yet become celestial beings were truly in a bit of a mess.
In a corner nearby, Ling'e muttered softly, "Is this even possible?"
"Li Changshou" stood with his hands behind his back and transmitted, "Some people, some things, cannot be understood with common sense."
Ling'e suddenly seemed pensive. She looked up at her senior brother and whispered:
"What about Senior Brother?"
"Be serious, there are all kinds of troubles to deal with next."
Li Changshou transmitted a message and took a half step back to avoid the direction of the underground cave.
"Ling'e, you must stay by my side later and not wander off."
"Okay!"
Ling'e reached out her slender hand and carefully grasped the hem of Li Changshou's robe; even in this perilous situation, a faint blush appeared on her face.
Li Changshou calmly transmitted, "Three rules."
"Hmph," Ling'e took a half step aside, stood with her hands behind her back, and appeared somewhat unfamiliar with her senior brother.
At such a moment, no one paid much attention to her. She was a female disciple with a beautiful appearance but inadequate cultivation.
Many disciples approached Youqin Xuanya, repeatedly expressing their desire to stay and fight alongside her;
But Youqin Xuanya, remembering Li Changshou's instructions earlier, repeatedly refused. Finally, she only used the excuse that "Junior Apprentice Sister Xiao Qiongfeng is good at earth escape" to leave Li Changshou and Ling'e behind.
Before long, several elders worked together to quickly set up a concealment formation at the entrance of the underground cave.
At the same time, they also blocked the detection from the Earth Department to the outside world...
It was uncertain when the formidable enemy would arrive here. At this time, they should be tracing the earth veins, which would delay them for some time.
"Or perhaps, the enemy has other plans? That's something we must guard against."
Li Changshou pondered incessantly in his heart, glanced at Ling'e, and continued to secretly guide Youqin Xuanya.
Since he chose to make Youqin Junior Sister a tool this time, he should maximize her effectiveness...
Later, he would spend some more effort to ensure that she didn't expose these matters.
The two true celestial realm outer affairs elders, along with their three disciples, flew directly out of the valley and deliberately revealed their aura on the conspicuous gentle slope beside the valley.
This was to attract the attention of the strong enemy...
At this moment, a certain elder turned his head and glanced at Li Changshou and Ling'e. He wanted to remind them to be careful, but when the words reached his lips, he could only sigh softly:
"You two are skilled in earth escape. If things go wrong, prioritize your own safety!"
Li Changshou and Ling'e exchanged a glance, bowed their heads, and agreed.
Soon, two trapped formations and protective formations were erected on the hillside, looking quite impressive;
The two true celestial realm outer affairs elders also took the poison pill cautiously and investigated it.
Indeed, this was the pill refined by Elder Wanlin Yun. When they examined the poison pill, their spiritual perception fluctuated, indicating that this was an extraordinary item.
This was actually a kind of aphrodisiac—[Mind-Bewildering Soul-Intoxicating Powder].
As a result, the elders' eyes were slightly less worried and more hopeful...
While they were setting up, Li Changshou hid behind a large rock with Ling'e, focusing his attention on the fierce battle at the mountain gate.
...
The tough guy Zhi Dao, showed up for the second time, but it didn't go as planned; these blood mosquito puppets had already caught on and instead of immediately sending someone to chase him, they went all out attacking the Broken Sky Peak.
After all, the previous group of 'fellow Daoists' had disappeared without a trace, wiped out at one of the peaks; there was definitely something fishy going on.
Most of the Immortal Door sects would think that this tough guy returning in such a sorry state must have been through a bloody battle to kill so many big demons, which was really impressive.
The tough guy kept grumbling, but all he got in response were magical powers and magic tools, unable to lure the enemy for a moment.
'Forget it.'
Drawing too many enemies to Little Qiong Peak, once or twice might be a coincidence, but too many times would be hard to explain...
The situation at the main peak of the Immortal Door had already stabilized, and the sharpness of the blood mosquito puppets had faded.
On the Immortal Door's side, although they were still being suppressed, the rate of casualties had slowed significantly, and the roles of elders like Elder Wanlin Jun and Master Forgetful Love were becoming more prominent. But the situation was not completely stable; now they were just waiting for the outcome of the battle between the Golden Immortals above, which was the most critical.
If one of the Immortal Door's sect leaders or Elder Qiling lost before the arrival of the masters of the People's Teaching, the Immortal Door would still be at a disadvantage today...
'How can I help in a duel at the level of Golden Immortals?'
This thought popped into Li Changshou's mind, and then his brow furrowed as he introspected.
Was he being too broad in his approach?
This question was obviously beyond his current abilities and not something he absolutely had to do.
Could it be that some kind of calamity was entangling him right now? Otherwise, how could he have such a ridiculously absurd idea? Li Changshou didn't dwell on it too much.
After sorting out his thoughts, he continued with his plan. A moment later;
The third Paper Daoist beside Ling'e had sensed the demonic aura of that Peng demon, and although the other party had taken a detour, they still 'successfully' hunted him down.
Immediately, Li Changshou took control of the three Paper Daoists flying swiftly in the mountain gate, while the tough guy and his senior brother and sister took the initiative to attack the mosquito puppet's main formation;
The three 'people' soon found themselves in trouble, unable to turn the tide;
But they were brave and unyielding, ready to die, and finally rushed to the densely populated place where the big demons were stationed, and exploded instantly!
Watching this, the Immortal Door's sect members shouted loudly, 'Friend, don't do it,' and many old immortals who had been in seclusion for years sighed deeply...
But...
Both sides felt like they had just seen this scene somewhere...
Li Changshou felt quite heartbroken too.
These three Paper Daoists were the highest quality and most expensive Paper Daoists he could produce.
But there was nothing he could do.
These three Paper Daoists had already played their role and had incurred a lot of karma.
Especially the incarnation of that tough guy, cursing the demon tribe, would be a problem if some big shots related to the demon tribe, like Lu Yaotao and others, brought up old accounts in the future.
But now that they had self-destructed, it was all over.
The demon emperor was the one that tough guy cursed, what did it have to do with other People's Teaching junior disciples—Li Qiongfeng, an inferior immortal seed named Changshou?
Glancing at the scattered items on his body, Li Changshou didn't think about it anymore.
In fact, the demon clan had long since withdrawn from the stage of the Primordial World, and the demon emperor had slaughtered the human race on a large scale in order to deal with the witch clan, refining the souls of the human race to create a world-defying treasure, nearly exterminating the human race, and thus forming an everlasting cause and effect with the human race.
Fortunately, the saint Nuwa and the Daoist masters who had long been enemies of the demon emperor at that time, had stepped forward to protect the bloodline of the human race...
As a member of the human race, not to mention such a trivial joke about the demon emperor, it would not be disrespectful even if Li Changshou danced on the demon emperor's grave.
There had indeed been such a situation.
At the end of the ancient era, after the third decisive battle between the witch and demon tribes, the demon tribe was seriously injured, and the human tribe took the opportunity to win a great victory over the demon tribe.
At that time, there was a human tribal leader who ordered people to dance and play music in front of the falling demon court for decades to celebrate.
The prosperity of the human race was not obtained by worshiping the heaven and earth or respecting the three sect masters. One sentence about countless deaths and injuries would reveal how difficult it was to prosper.
But now that he was contemplating, he realized that there was already a supreme elder who wanted to erect a monument to mourn the three Paper Daoists afterward, which was rather absurd.
Sixteen thousand miles to the east of the Immortal Door, the Green Peng demon swooped down from the sky and hovered for a while, and the two strands of divine sense had already locked onto the several people below.
Li Changshou transmitted to Ling'e, "Stay close to me, use me as a shield if you need to."
"Huh?"
Ling'e blinked her eyes and quickly shrunk behind her senior brother, and 'Li Changshou' completely shielded her.
Qin Xuanya and the two external affairs elders were already on guard, and the formations around them were ready to be activated at any moment. Underground, Ling'e was somewhat puzzled, her cheeks slightly red as she asked softly,
"Brother, why are you acting like this today..." "Observe more, talk less, and learn seriously."
'Li Changshou' said so, and Ling'e immediately nodded in agreement, feeling a little nervous.
Several streaks of light fell from above, and the two elders joined forces to intercept them, barely managing to take them down.
Then, the Peng demon folded its wings and swooped down from the sky with lightning speed!
But the figure on the back of the Peng demon stopped in mid-air.
This Tianxian old Daoist controlled by the blood mosquito's divine power already had an extremely deep impression of the 'toxic' Immortal Door...
