Inside the Gong family.
Li An sat in a palace, which was the center of the entire demon summoning formation.
The surrounding formations had slowly started to operate, and began to affect the qi between heaven and earth.
"Do it--"
Li An also received the order from Zhao Qingtong. He did not hesitate, and his magic skills started to operate instantly, driving the magic summoning technique.
The vast demonic energy rolled out from him, and after being magnified by the surrounding demon summoning formation, it seemed that the entire ancestral mountain of the Gong family was shrouded in demonic energy, and the magic power swept all around, and the world was dark!
"A real demon cultivator?"
"What's going on?"
Gong family, Gong Tianxiong and the two celestial ancestors were all shocked at this moment. Their Gong family was completely covered.
Has the demon cultivator that Su Yebai mentioned arrived?
And at this moment. Shangguan Shengxian, who was already close to the heart of Gong family, raised her eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and said: "You took the initiative to attack and exposed yourself in front of me. Don't you know that I came for you?"
Could it be that Li An took the initiative to tell her that there was an ambush here?
She thought for a while, but did not kill directly to the center of the formation. Instead, she shook her magic power and raised her hand. The four fatal moves had already been played. A shocking palm fell down. In an instant, the buildings of Gong family in front of her were destroyed and collapsed like withered withered wood!
"Enemy attack!"
"There is an enemy attack!"
The whole Gong family was shocked. In order to keep it secret, except for the core senior management, the middle and lower levels did not know the plan of Zixiao Mountain. At this moment, they encountered an enemy attack, and naturally moved up and down according to common sense and set out to kill.
For a while, many immortals and Xuanxian-level strongmen appeared and surrounded Shangguan Shengxian.
However, facing so many masters, she just sneered and didn't take them seriously at all. As soon as she changed her figure, the devil appeared. She walked through the crowd, killing wantonly. Wherever she went, blood flowers splashed. The masters of Gong family were really vulnerable in front of her.
She was not in a hurry, strolling leisurely, letting the enemy use all kinds of means, as if she was having fun, and a backhand was a massacre.
"Stop, everyone retreat!"
Even Gong Tianxiong couldn't help it and hurriedly came forward. If this continued, the backbone of their Gong family might be killed by this witch.
"Hehe, finally a slightly stronger one appeared."
But Shangguan Shengxian set his eyes on him and stretched out his slender jade hand. Gong Tianxiong's face changed drastically. With the power of a quasi-celestial being, he fought against Shangguan Shengxian. After one blow, the fairy light in front of him collapsed, and he retreated several steps. His face was pale, blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and the qi in his body became disordered.
He was no match for Shangguan Shengxian.
"Tianxiong!"
The other two immortal ancestors rushed to protect him, but once they appeared, they could not leave.
Shangguan Shengxian had already stopped them. The power of the devil was like a net covering the sky, suppressing the two immortals so much that they were a little breathless. They joined forces and could only barely block it.
"Help!"
"Please help, sir--"
The two immortals could not stand it anymore and hurriedly spoke to the formation.
"The witch has appeared, but is the lid of the Taotian Demon Pot on her body..."
In the formation, Zhao Qingtong hesitated a little, but thought that the formation had been activated at this moment. Even if the lid of the demon pot was not on her body, there was nothing she could do. It was too late, so she instantly activated the formation and suppressed Shangguan Shengxian.
Shangguan Shengxian stood gracefully in the sky, fighting with the two immortals on one side, and resisting the power of the formation on the other side. He seemed to be frozen for a while.
"Junior brother, if you add more strength, the lid of the magic pot still hasn't appeared - this witch is too vicious!"
Li An was practicing the magic summoning technique, and Zhao Qingtong's secret words had already come anxiously.
He couldn't help but frown. What does Shangguan Shengxian mean by this?
He took the initiative to attack, and the formation emerged. From a certain perspective, it was a warning to Shangguan Shengxian. With her personality, she should be able to easily see that there was an ambush here. In this case, retreating directly is the best choice!
But she didn't leave.
She didn't leave, which can be explained. If there is something extremely important to her here, she will fight desperately.
But now she is not in a desperate state!
This guy is clearly playing tricks, as if he wants to delay time deliberately. If there is really something or someone she is determined to get, why not take this opportunity to escape?
Even, her attitude is telling the people here that she is coming.
Is the other party also warning him?
Li An frowned, confused for a moment, but he no longer hesitated, and used all his strength to operate the magic power. At the same time, he deliberately let the indescribable power on his body emanate, and the strange air instantly enveloped his whole body from his soul!
Because he was sure that Leng Rufeng attached so much importance to the lid of the Taotian Demon Pot, he must have been hiding in the dark at this moment, ready to snatch it. His every move might not escape the other party's observation, so it must be so.
As long as the indescribable power on his body intensified and the strange power eroded, even if Leng Rufeng was a golden immortal, he would not dare to pay attention to him anymore, otherwise there would be a certain probability that his own indescribable power would be triggered.
The indescribable power happened quickly, and scales covered Li An's body, as if he had turned into a strange scaly creature. While the magic and strange air were rolling, he finally took out the puppet Gong Shanxiu hidden in the ring.
At this moment, Gong Shanxiu had already been refined by him, and his appearance was exactly the same as his.
Li An placed Gong Shanxiu on the mat he was on, and he himself quietly hid in the hole under the mat.
He still let the indescribable power spread!
This was the self-protection strategy he came up with.
When the indescribable power erupted, it was the most dangerous time. No one dared to approach him. Even if Shangguan Shengxian came, he would have to be in awe.
This was the first insurance.
If Shangguan Shengxian insisted on taking action and taking the puppet, he would have to take the opportunity to escape, and there would still be a glimmer of hope.
And, most importantly, when Shangguan Shengxian had already arrived in front of him, he expected that Leng Rufeng would have taken action by then.
...
"It seems that you have something to rely on."
Shangguan Shengxian felt the breath coming from the depths of the formation. She knew that since Li An had not escaped yet, it meant that even if she delayed more time, it would be in vain. She no longer hesitated. With a move of her figure, a large area of the void was shattered around her. Her magic power turned into a vortex around her, and it seemed that even the power of the formation presided over by Zhao Qingtong was swallowed up by her!
An old immortal of the Gong family who was closer to her let out a shrill cry. He did not escape and was swept into the vortex by her. It seemed that countless ghost hands emerged and tore the old immortal to pieces on the spot. All the vast blood and energy were swallowed up by Shangguan Shengxian!
"What?"
"How is this possible!"
"Grandmaster!"
Gong Tianxiong and others were instantly terrified when they saw this.
This witch is too scary!
"The power of the formation, the cultivation of the flesh and blood of living beings... Absorb everything, eat everything, could this be..."
Zhao Qingtong, who presided over the formation, had slightly cold hands and feet at this moment, as if she remembered something extremely terrible.
At this moment, in the hidden void somewhere above Gong, Leng Rufeng saw this scene, and his pupils suddenly shrank and became extremely hot.
"Taotian Demon Art!"
He roared, and understood that although the lid of the Taotian Demon Pot had not appeared at this moment, Shangguan Shengxian must have touched the treasure and got the true teachings from it.
His figure also moved——
...
Everywhere Shangguan Shengxian went, everything was swallowed up by her.
The vortex that evolved in her body was like a bottomless demon abyss, and even the celestial being could not stop it.
In the blink of an eye, she was close to the direction where Li An was. At this moment, she suddenly realized something, her steps slowed down slightly, and she actually took the initiative to attack and blasted into the void.
In the void, the cold whisk slashed directly at her!
He finally came.
With the cultivation of the Golden Immortal level, the whisk actually shook the vortex around Shangguan Shengxian, as if it was about to crack and disappear.
Shangguan Shengxian's cultivation was obviously at the Heavenly Immortal level, but it was still far from the Golden Immortal.
But she was not afraid. A layer of black armor appeared on her body in an instant. It was similar to the Immortal Heavenly Demon Armor, but the power was more domineering than the Immortal Heavenly Demon Armor. At the same time, the light of the Yuanshen bloomed, and a power that was more wild than the Yuanling Honglu Gong burst out.
It seemed that countless demon shadows appeared around her, trying to suppress the Golden Immortal!
"Traitor, why don't you surrender——"
Leng Rufeng had a Taoist spirit, and his whisk chopped down directly. A layer of golden light flashed on his body, and his body was flawless like holy gold. All kinds of demonic energy could not hurt him. The whisk chopped Shangguan Shengxian and sent him flying.
Shangguan Shengxian was already injured, but he did not escape, but attacked again.
The two of them instantly broke out in a battle outside Gong's.
Feeling this scene, Li An, who was hiding under the futon, hurriedly took the opportunity to get out.
Since Leng Rufeng had already appeared, Shangguan Shengxian would definitely find it difficult to approach him again, and he was safe.
Putting away the puppet, the indescribable power slowly disappeared. He pretended to fall on the futon, with gray scales all over his body, even on his face. In his soul, there was a section of gray roots glowing!
"Junior Brother Gu——"
Zhao Qingtong could not participate in the Golden Immortal-level battle, so she retreated and fell beside Li An. However, when she saw Li An's situation, her face suddenly changed and she said, "Unspeakable... Chosen by the strange realm?!"
Li An's condition was clearly eroded by the indescribable, but he did not die.
She hesitated for a moment, but still picked up Li An and moved away from here.
This battlefield was too dangerous, and it could be destroyed or affected at any time.
...
Li An fell into a coma.
It was half a year later when he woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he could vaguely see Zhao Qingtong's pretty face. She brought a bowl of spiritual liquid and fed it to Li An, saying with concern, "Junior Brother Gu, are you okay?"
Li An was speechless, with a blank look in his eyes. Zhao Qingtong sighed and said, "Brother, drink the medicine. This medicine is prepared by Master himself. It can temporarily suppress the strange light in your soul and restore your clarity for a moment..."
Li An still didn't move, so she gently grabbed Li An's chin, asked Li An to open his mouth, and poured it in, but a lot of it still spilled on his chest.
This medicine really turned into a clear and peaceful force when it entered his body, pouring directly into his spirit, making the strange roots in his soul dim.
A little light gradually gathered in Li An's eyes, as if he had woken up from a dream, and said, "Sister Zhao... Senior Sister Zhao..."
"You are finally awake!"
Zhao Qingtong was quite happy and said, "You are here, I will go and ask Master to come."
She left immediately, and soon Leng Rufeng walked in, followed by Zhao Qingtong.
Li An stood up reluctantly, bowed, and said, "Disciple greets Master--"
"No need to bow."
Leng Rufeng said, "Please sit down. I have something to ask you."
Li An sat down, and Leng Rufeng also sat down and asked, "I heard from your Senior Sister Zhao that before Su Yebai escaped, he asked you to borrow the crystal and other things, but you didn't lend it to him?"
Is it because of this? Li An said, "Senior Brother Su...did he escape?"
Leng Rufeng was silent.
"The reason why I didn't lend it to him at that time was actually selfish..."
Li An said, "When I was in the spirit world, the people of Dao Sect hunted me down severely. I am a person who bears grudges. Secondly, since entering Zixiao Mountain, Senior Brother Su has been trusted by Master, but I feel that this person is not trustworthy. I don't like him."
Leng Rufeng said lightly, "There is a third point, right? You predicted that he might escape, right or not?"
Li An looked terrified and didn't know how to answer. "Hmph!"
Leng Rufeng glanced at him, "Why don't you run away? Did you know from the beginning that I couldn't get that thing?!"
Li An said, "Master, please be clear. I really didn't know about Brother Su's affairs. As for running away... I have received great kindness from you. Moreover, I am infected with the weirdness and will die. I only want to report to you before I die. How can I run away?"
Leng Rufeng said, "When did you get infected with the weirdness?"
Li An said, "The last time I broke through the Xuanxian, I was infected in the weird realm. I had a thought..."
"What thought?"
"My way forward is cut off. I may die inexplicably at any time. Therefore, I also hope that Master can get that thing. In this way, I may still have a chance of survival!"
Leng Rufeng nodded slightly.
Who is he? He was once a member of the Dao Sect, but later betrayed the Heavenly Court and joined the Purple Sky Mountain. He experienced countless ups and downs. Therefore, from Zhao Qingtong's words, he had already realized that Li An might have known in advance that he would kill many disciples.
But if that was the case, he had to think about why Li An didn't leave.
That's why he wasted a lot of blood medicine to let Li An regain a moment of clarity.
Now it seems that Li An's reason is tenable.
He must be like Su Yebai, knowing that Leng Rufeng would kill them after getting the things, but Li An is different from Su Yebai.
Because Li An practiced too fast, he has been infected by the weirdness. There is no other way to go, so he can only stay and gamble.
Moreover, Li An's current situation also confirms his statement.
The indescribable has already appeared, and there are weird roots in the Yuanshen, which cannot be false.
"...Master, do I still have a way to survive?" Li An asked again with hope.
Leng Rufeng said: "The indescribable has happened, what else can we do? Take care of yourself for a few days and go to the place where the gods descend to guard the lamp!"
His words were cold, without any master-disciple friendship. Obviously, he was too upset after losing the lid of the magic pot. Moreover, Li An had no effect on him now, so he naturally didn't bother to treat him well.
"I have something important to do."
After saying that, Leng Rufeng got up and left.
After Zhao Qingtong sent his master away, he came back to see him and comforted him: "Junior brother, don't be too sad. In fact, becoming a lamp keeper is not hopeless. Once the alien soul is awakened, it is also a good thing. Even the mountain people will treat it with respect."
Hearing this, Li An just smiled bitterly. He also understood that as a lamp keeper, because there are strange roots in the soul, it is possible to attract some dead souls in the strange world and re-condense in the body of the lamp keeper!
Those alien souls all originated from the so-called "weird gods", which may be creatures that existed in the ancient times or even earlier. Therefore, once such beings appear, they are often regarded as messengers of the weird gods and are highly respected.
However, such things are too difficult to appear. It is said that only one appeared in Zixiao Mountain thousands of years ago!
The probability itself is very small. In addition, Li An also thinks, what is the difference between this and taking over another's body?
When the alien soul awakens in your body, will you still be yourself?
It will be another existence!
Therefore, Zhao Qingtong's words were just mentioned casually.
"Thank you, senior sister, but everything can only be left to fate.
"It's up to fate..."
Li An sighed.
But Zhao Qingtong's eyes revealed some complaints, saying: "Junior brother, I have nothing to hide from you, but you are not kind enough to me. You already saw that Su Yebai was going to run away, but you didn't remind me, so I lost several years of savings!"
Li An said helplessly: "Senior sister, I advised you at that time that he was not trustworthy, but you didn't believe me at that time..."
Zhao Qingtong didn't entangle at this time, but stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, with some expectation in her eyes, saying: "Forget it, once the effect of the medicine wears off, you will return to a state of unconsciousness and can only guard the green lamp. Speaking of which, those cultivation items on you are useless to you, why not give them to me? It's worth it for my sister to take care of you for the past six months. "
Li An complained in his heart, damn, this bitch, she was deceived by Su Yebai, but she wants to make up for it from me? She thinks she is an honest man...
How shameless.
But he still sighed and said, "Well..."
He really took out many exotic crystals, blood medicines, and fairy treasures, and gave them to Zhao Qingtong, saying, "Senior sister, I still have some blood medicines in my retreat, and they will belong to you in the future."
Zhao Qingtong was immediately overjoyed and said, "Junior brother is really generous!"
"By the way, after hearing about your story, there is a registered disciple in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall who wants to see you several times. I think his name is something like Xu Yuan..."
After getting the things, she was so happy that she also mentioned this.
Li An heard the words and hurriedly said, "Senior sister, this person is my best friend in Dengyun Palace. Please ask Senior Sister to invite him over quickly so that I can meet him again!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go and call him for you. "
Zhao Qingtong smiled slightly, eager to help, and went immediately.
Soon, she came with Xu Yuan and said, "Junior Brother Gu, I called Xu Yuan for you. You guys chat first, I'll go to your cave and help you check your blood medicine."
After that, she left with a smile on her face.
Xu Yuan walked into the residence and saw Li An's current appearance, but his fat face was a little complicated.
He never thought that the indescribable would befall Li An so soon.
What was even more unexpected was that Li An was actually the one chosen by the dark!
"Junior Brother Xu, Senior Brother didn't listen to your advice back then, and this disaster will eventually happen..."
Li An laughed at himself and said, "Now my life is about to end. Thinking about it, I don't regret it. If I hadn't been obsessed with my cultivation for a while, maybe I could still drink and talk with Junior Brother now..."
"Speaking of which, for so many years, in Zixiao Mountain, perhaps only Junior Brother has said a few words from the bottom of his heart to me! "
Li An pretended to be mournful, took out two immortal scrolls, handed them to him, and said: "From now on, I will enter the place where the gods descended and guard the green lamp. I will never see you again. When I leave, I have nothing else. These two immortal scrolls will be given to you——"
Xu Yuan saw this and felt very reluctant. His face changed repeatedly and he seemed very hesitant, but he finally gritted his teeth, moved closer, and whispered: "Brother, actually... I have a way to save your life!"
He seemed to have made up his mind: "Can you trust me?"
...
