Chapter 78
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
The more one wants time to stop, the faster it seems to pass.
For cultivators, time was already a concept measured in “years” or even “centuries”. Just five days, in the context of their long lives, was like a single grain of sand in a vast desert.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
During the day, everything was normal and peaceful. But as darkness fell, thick clouds suddenly covered the moon and stars completely.
In all the years he had spent in Miguang Mountain, Li Fenglan had never seen such terrible weather.
Unlike before, on this night Li Fenglan didn’t rest. He sat by the window with Finished Karma in his hand, looking out through the thin window paper.
Due to the presence of Cheng Huang and Duan Wannian, there have been no bird calls on Miguang Mountain lately. With the outside world enveloped in darkness, and the night pearl covered by a cloth, there was no light around Li Fenglan except for the faint glow of Finished Karma.
In this extreme silence, time seemed to slow down.
After who knows how long, a dark purple beam suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
The beam was so faint that Li Fenglan wouldn’t have noticed it if it weren’t for the complete darkness around him.
“It’s the main peak…” Li Fenglan muttered to himself.
As soon as he saw the beam, Li Fenglan stood up from his chair and, without hesitation, walked out of the room with Finished Karma tightly in his grasp.
Li Fenglan’s footsteps were not loud, but Cheng Huang, who was curled up in his bed, seemed to be sleeping restlessly tonight. Upon hearing the sound of Li Fenglan getting up, the little guy shook his tail and opened his eyes, looking at Li Fenglan with confusion.
“Fenglan?”
Seeing the back of Li Fenglan, Cheng Huang immediately woke up.
It jumped off the bed at the fastest speed, and then went forward to hold Li Fenglan’s clothes with its mouth.
“I’ll go out for a while, you wait here.” Seeing Cheng Huang’s worried eyes, Li Fenglan bent down and gently rubbed its head.
As a spiritual pet, Cheng Huang trusted its owner Li Fenglan very much.
Usually, when it heard Li Fenglan say this, Cheng Huang would listen to its owner’s words and obediently return to the room.
But today, Cheng Huang stubbornly shook his head and said vaguely, “I want to go with Fenglan!”
Cheng Huang’s words were particularly affirmative.
“You…” Li Fenglan paused for a moment, finally nodded, and picked up Cheng Huang from the ground with one hand, then quickly rode the sword towards the direction of the main peak of Tianmian Palace.
Li Fenglan remembered the incident when Cheng Huang was affected by the beast tide before, and was worried about leaving him behind in Miguang Mountain, so he decided to bring the little guy with him.
A few days ago, Li Fenglan set up a formation on the main peak of Tianmian Palace.
And before he reached the main peak this time, Li Fenglan saw a very dazzling purple light in the direction of Xieguang Tower.
The formation was working!
In the past few days, there were many Tianmian Palace cultivators near Xieguang Tower. Li Fenglan, who was worried about accidents happening, injected spiritual energy into Finished Karma and flew towards Xieguang Tower.
In a blink of an eye, he appeared there.
Before Li Fenglan could see the condition of the formation clearly, a dazzling purple light appeared in front of him again.
This time the purple light was extremely strong, not only on the main peak of Tianmian Palace, but even the entire sect saw such a phenomenon.
Without much thought, it was clear that the cultivators of Tianmian Palace would soon gather here.
“Senior Brother Li!”
“Senior Brother, someone just came towards Xieguang Tower and was blocked by a purple light.”
Li Fenglan had just landed and had not had the chance to look up at the top of Xieguang Tower when several young cultivators walked quickly towards him and surrounded him.
What Ling Buyan had done in Guanzhi Mountain Secret Realm and the sword formation had already spread throughout the entire cultivation world. At this point, he had become a hidden powerhouse in the eyes of everyone, and as Ling Buyan’s only disciple, Li Fenglan was also respected by the cultivators.
Not to mention that Li Fenglan had been so close with Meng Linzhou recently.
“Is he on Xieguang Tower?” Li Fenglan nodded quickly and asked in a very fast tone, while Cheng Huang held in his arms couldn’t help but look up at the top of Xieguang Tower.
Although those disciples didn’t know who “he” was, they saw Li Fenglan’s obvious expression of knowing something and quickly nodded, “Yes, Senior Brother!”
“Okay.”
After speaking, Li Fenglan didn’t fly directly to Xieguang Tower, but stood still and silently recited a spell.
At this moment, the purple light on Xieguang Tower became even stronger.
The formation that Li Fenglan set up to trap Mo Shenyu was the most basic form of the Fushen Formation that was established by the cultivators of the cultivation world together back then.
However, compared with the formation that was established by the joint efforts of the cultivators of the cultivation world back then, the formation set up by Li Fenglan alone could not make Mo Shenyu’s soul fly away, but it could trap him and keep him locked here.
The purple light was not actually emitted by the formation itself, but rather from Mo Shenyu’s counterattack.
Although he had read “Tianmian Daosheng,” there were still too many things happening outside of the plot that Li Fenglan had encountered. Furthermore, Ling Buyan was still in seclusion at this time, so in just a few days, Li Fenglan hadn’t figured out how he should deal with Mo Shenyu.
Just as Li Fenglan was about to activate the formation to bring Mo Shenyu down from the top of Xieguang Tower, several sword lights suddenly appeared in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, several familiar figures appeared here: his disciple, Meng Linzhou, the head of Tianmian Palace, Jiang Yichang, and several other immortal masters from other sects who had also gone to Guanzhi Mountain.
The situation in Guanzhi Mountain was too strange. These people came to Tianmian Palace to wait for Ling Buyan to come out of seclusion and discuss this matter with him in detail.
But who would have thought that this group of people would encounter Mo Shenyu’s night raid on Tianmian Palace before Ling Buyan came out of seclusion…
Following these people, many cultivators from Tianmian Palace also arrived here.
Seeing Li Fenglan holding Cheng Huang under Xieguang Tower, everyone was filled with surprise.
Especially the cultivators from other sects, when they saw Li Fenglan and his current state, they immediately became suspicious of him.
“Who are you? And why are you here now?!” Obviously, these people couldn’t understand why Li Fenglan, an ordinary cultivator who didn’t seem to have high cultivation, could sense something unusual around him and arrive earlier than themselves.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichang’s gaze also fell on Li Fenglan.
Ahem… Unlike those cultivators who didn’t know Li Fenglan, Jiang Yichang knew his identity.
Hearing the question just now, Jiang Yichang couldn’t help but think in his heart: he is Li Fuyue.
Li Fenglan originally wanted to take Mo Shenyu down from Xieguang Tower at this time, and then handle this matter as discreetly as possible. Unexpectedly, his actions were interrupted by these people before he could even carry out half of his plan.
Helpless, Li Fenglan suppressed his displeasure in his heart. He explained while secretly activating his formation: “I just happened to come here tonight to find… find Meng Linzhou.”
“Oh?” Unexpectedly, that person persisted and asked, “What are you looking for Immortal Meng for?”
Li Fenglan: “…”
Li Fenglan was never good at lying, let alone in such a dangerous situation now. Just as he was racking his brains to figure out how to answer, suddenly a dark sword light appeared on the top of Tianmian Palace, and at the same time, a figure fell from Xieguang Tower.
“Of course, it’s to deal with the person in front of me.” Speaking of this, a black figure appeared in front of everyone.
The sword energy lifted the man’s long hair slightly, and with black clothes and black hair, he looked like he was born in the night.
It was Ling Buyan!
He has come out of seclusion.
“Master!” Li Fenglan couldn’t help but feel excited in his heart, and he walked quickly towards Ling Buyan. When Ling Buyan looked back at Li Fenglan, there was also an incomparable gentleness in his gaze. He nodded gently and said, “Yes.”
At this time, Mo Shenyu had already fallen from Xieguang Tower. However, Li Fenglan was not interested in observing Mo Shenyu’s current condition. He saw that the person in front of him seemed to have become a little pale after coming out of seclusion, but his expression was still as relaxed as before.
But Li Fenglan did not let his guard down. He remembered Ling Buyan’s damaged soul…
But now was not the time to think about this. Tianmian Palace had been on alert for many days, and everyone here knew that the entire cultivation world had encountered a big problem recently.
Therefore, when they discovered abnormalities on the main peak of the sect, everyone rushed here as quickly as possible.
Before long, the outside of Xieguang Tower was crowded with people…
Seeing this dense crowd, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but have a bad premonition.
At this moment, another purple light flashed by.
Mo Shenyu finally landed on the ground.
Li Fenglan saw that Mo Shenyu today was wearing a dark purple robe, which was completely different from what he had seen before… The silk hem of the robe was embroidered with a huge star chart made of golden thread and gems. At this moment, those gems were emitting a faint light, as if all the stars hidden by the dark clouds in the sky had fallen on his collar.
A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Mo Shenyu’s lips. He was indeed injured by Li Fenglan’s formation. However, unlike what Li Fenglan had thought, Mo Shenyu was not seriously injured. After seeing the crowd in front of him, Mo Shenyu smiled slightly and walked towards them step by step.
His movements were not the slightest bit sluggish.
Mo Shenyu wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth with his hand, then looked up and stared fiercely at Ling Buyan, saying, “Yes, I forgot. This ‘Xieguang Tower’ is Senior Brother’s territory.”
Mo Shenyu thought that the formation was set up by Ling Buyan.
And after hearing his words, the cultivators around couldn’t help but think – why did he say that Xieguang Tower was Ling Buyan’s territory?
