Chapter 87
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Repairing the soul was not a simple matter, especially since Li Fenglan had perished a thousand years ago.
Cheng Huang was not sure how long he had been staying in Tanyi Pagoda with Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan. Ling Buyan was always by Li Fenglan’s side, talking to him despite him still being unconscious. However, unlike when Cheng Huang had just arrived at Tanyi Pagoda, Ling Buyan finally seemed to notice Cheng Huang’s presence as a huge “light bulb” and lowered his voice when speaking.
Tanyi Pagoda never stopped running, and although Cheng Huang had regained his memory, he had never encountered anything like Tanyi Pagoda during his savage life in the past, so after staying inside the tower for many days, Cheng Huang still had no idea how Li Fenglan was recovering. All he saw was Ling Buyan keeping watch here.
Seeing Ling Buyan like this, Cheng Huang, who had always wanted to settle the score with him, temporarily postponed his revenge plan – everything could wait until Li Fenglan woke up.
That day, there were too many people from the various sects of the cultivation world gathered at Xieguang Tower. Therefore, it did not take long for what happened that day in Tianmian Palace to spread throughout the cultivation world. Thanks to Duan Wannian, who had been hiding in Tianmian Palace all this time, even the demon realm knew about what happened that day.
While Li Fenglan was still in Tanyi Pagoda, Demon Lord Duan Qianli had already led his people to the cultivation world, but before he could reach the bottom of the tower, he was captured by his father, Duan Jisu. This was supposedly to avoid causing trouble for the Immortal Ancestor.
But Duan Qianli was someone who had someone looking out for him, and not everyone had such protection. For example, Li Fenglan’s good junior brother, Lin Chaochen.
At this time, Qiu Wanyou had already returned to the upper realm, and before leaving, he specifically instructed the people around Lin Chaochen that the Swordbearing Immortal was injured and in seclusion, and no matter what happened, they were not to disturb him.
However, although no one had informed Lin Chaochen about it, he, who had completely lost his mind, somehow found out about what happened at Xieguang Tower that day and heard about Li Fenglan’s current state.
Therefore, a few days later, the entire Tianmian Palace saw the Immortal Lord in green robes flying on his sword over Tianmian Palace and finally landing below Tanyi Pagoda.
There was no barrier around the tower, but the spiritual energy within a hundred zhang around it was extremely active, and no one dared to approach it.
After Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan entered the tower, the Palace Master of Tianmian Palace, Jiang Yichang, sent people to guard outside the tower and instructed them to inform him immediately if anything happened.
So now there were people outside Tanyi Pagoda. One moment before they had seen a sword light cutting through the sky, the next moment they saw Lin Chaochen appearing before them.
“Immortal Lord.”
Upon seeing him, the few people immediately bowed their heads to Lin Chaochen.
Of the two young Immortal Lords in Tianmian Palace, Lin Chaochen, the sword-wielding Immortal Lord, appeared less frequently and had a higher seniority and cultivation level than Meng Linzhou. Therefore, most ordinary disciples in the sect were more afraid of him.
The cultivators bowed their heads, but after waiting for a long time, they still did not receive a response from Lin Chaochen. Seeing this, they hesitated for a moment and finally looked in the direction where Lin Chaochen had just been.
To their great surprise, they saw Lin Chaochen in a green robe slowly walking towards Tanyi Pagoda, until he was blocked by the spiritual energy overflowing around the tower.
Then, Lin Chaochen slowly shook off his clothes and knelt down towards Tanyi Pagoda.
What’s going on?
The two cultivators standing beside Lin Chaochen quickly exchanged glances and then flew on their swords towards the main peak of Tianmian Palace.
The incident that happened at Xieguang Tower a few days ago has spread throughout the three realms. As cultivators of Tianmian Palace, they knew that Li Fenglan was Li Fuyue and the event that happened a thousand years ago in Snowy Meizhou Island was also known to everyone.
Therefore, when they saw Lin Chaochen kneeling under Tanyi Pagoda, they immediately remembered the relationship between Lin Chaochen and Li Fenglan, as well as the events that happened a thousand years ago…
Lin Chaochen, the junior brother, he personally shattered Li Fuyue’s soul with his sword and sent his own senior brother into the Fushen Array.
Now that he has learned the truth, Lin Chaochen knelt before his senior brother again.
Tsk tsk, this story is really full of twists and turns.
The cultivation world has finally calmed down in recent days, so Jiang Yichang, the sect leader, also had a rare moment of leisure.
Upon hearing the words of these two cultivators, Jiang Yichang immediately brought Zhuang Zhiqiu and Zhuang Zhixia and rushed to the sect’s forbidden area.
…
“Respected Sect Leader.”
Before Jiang Yichang arrived, Mu Hantao, who had been staying in the forbidden area all along, had already arrived at the tower.
She was still dressed in a vermilion and pink dress, with three-thousand green silk tied into a high bun at the back of her head, just like usual. But today, upon seeing Mu Hantao, Jiang Yichang immediately realized that the spiritual power around the woman’s body was different from before.
So before asking her about Lin Chaochen, Jiang Yichang paused for a moment and congratulated Mu Hantao with a smile, “Congratulations on your ascension, Immortal Mu.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Hantao also smiled and nodded, “I can finally leave the mortal world and ascend peacefully.”
A few days ago, Jiang Yichang had already learned about the relationship between Mu Hantao and Li Fenglan. Therefore, upon hearing her words, Jiang Yichang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly – in fact, Mo Shenyu, who was transformed by the Heavenly Dao, has never only affected Li Fenglan’s life.
The Li family and Mu Hantao back then were all sacrifices to his personal desires.
Now that Mu Hantao’s karmic cycle in the mortal world has ended, her ascension was just a matter of time.
After saying these two sentences, Jiang Yichang finally couldn’t help but shift his gaze towards Tanyi Pagoda’s side, where a dozen or twenty disciples responsible for guarding the place were gathered together. They all unconsciously looked towards Lin Chaochen’s position.
Jiang Yichang and Mu Hantao looked at each other and walked towards Lin Chaochen’s position.
Relying on his profound spiritual power, Lin Chaochen knelt directly under the pressure of Tanyi Pagoda.
Even though he had the cultivation of the immortalization realm, his face gradually became a little ugly after kneeling here for a long time.
Jiang Yichang frowned and walked towards him together with Mu Hantao.
The place where Lin Chaochen was located was very dangerous. As soon as they approached, Jiang Yichang felt the spiritual energy turn into blades and sweep towards him. He gritted his teeth and spoke to Lin Chaochen, “Immortal Lin, you should get up first. The spiritual energy around Tanyi Pagoda is freezing and may affect your soul.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “Besides, Li Fenglan has not yet woken up, so there is no use for you to kneel here now.”
Jiang Yichang’s implication was that it wouldn’t be too late to kneel after Li Fenglan wakes up.
It’s unclear whether Lin Chaochen heard Jiang Yichang’s words, as he remained motionless, kneeling in place.
At this time, Immortal Mu, Mu Hantao, suddenly spoke up, her tone cold and mocking, “neither of us understands the rules of Tanyi Pagoda’s operation. Now that you’re kneeling so close to the tower, what if you disturb its operation?”
Mu Hantao’s tone was full of sarcasm.
Unlike Jiang Yichang, there was another layer of relationship between Mu Hantao and Li Fenglan besides their “same sect” relationship.
Mu Hantao and Li Fenglan were family.
Therefore, although Mu Hantao knew about Li Fenglan’s death in the previous life and she couldn’t blame the person in front of him, Mu Hantao still couldn’t help but feel displeased with Lin Chaochen.
Strangely enough, after hearing Mu Hantao’s words, Lin Chaochen, who had been kneeling motionless, slowly stood up.
He turned around and looked calmly at Mu Hantao and Jiang Yichang, then nodded and said, “Immortal Lord is right.”
Lin Chaochen’s reaction was too calm, making Mu Hantao feel like punching cotton.
But as Mu Hantao expressed earlier, whether Lin Chaochen would be injured or not was not her concern. What she cared most about was whether this unsafe person, Lin Chaochen, would affect Li Fenglan.
Seeing Lin Chaochen finally standing up, Mu Hantao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, before Jiang Yichang could speak again and try to persuade Lin Chaochen to go back, a very bright golden light suddenly burst out not far away from Tanyi Pagoda.
“What is this…” Jiang Yichang looked a bit nervous.
This huge Tanyi Pagoda, although standing in Tianmian Palace, had never been visited by Jiang Yichang, the sect leader, in the past thousand years.
Cough cough… So as the sect leader, he only recently found out that there was such a huge tower for soul cultivation on his own territory.
However, even though Jiang Yichang knew about the existence of Tanyi Pagoda, he still didn’t understand what was happening now.
But Mu Hantao was different from him.
When she saw the golden light in front of her, Mu Hantao immediately became nervous.
She paused for a moment and whispered, “Fenglan’s spirit…there’s something wrong with it.”
“What did you say?!” Upon hearing this, Lin Chaochen widened his eyes and looked at Mu Hantao in disbelief.
The woman stared tightly at the top of the tower and shook her head, saying, “Fenglan is different from ordinary people. He has already disappeared once, and his spirit is fragile. He needs something to stabilize it, so it won’t scatter. You might not know…”
Here, Mu Hantao stopped and sighed before continuing, “Fenglan’s spirit is held together by a Immortal bone belonging to Ling Buyan.”
In fact, Mu Hantao only learned of this recently.
On that day, Mu Hantao was also at Xieguang Tower, and when Ling Buyan carried Li Fenglan out, as a half-step ascendant immortal, she had already sensed that there was a Immortal bone inside Li Fenglan’s body that did not belong to him.
As the guardian of Tanyi Pagoda, Mu Hantao naturally knew how Li Fenglan’s spirit was held together. Combining everything she knew, the answer was not difficult to guess…
Mu Hantao’s words surprised everyone around her.
Did Ling Buyan really remove an Immortal bone for Li Fenglan?
At this moment, the light of Tanyi Pagoda became brighter, and Lin Chaochen, who was fine a moment ago, suddenly burst out laughing.
Memories of a thousand years ago flashed through his mind, and in a daze, Lin Chaochen seemed to have returned to the moment when he shattered his senior brother’s spirit with a single sword.
Lin Chaochen’s mind became more and more confused, and the aura around him suddenly began to run wild, out of control.
All he could think of was one word – kill.
“Lin Chaochen is possessed!” Mu Hantao instinctively drew out her spiritual sword.
In an instant, chaos broke out under Tanyi Pagoda.
However, facing the spiritual swords pointing at him, Lin Chaochen, who was already possessed, showed no intention of counterattacking with his sword.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something that could stabilize Li Fenglan’s spirit…
It was the body belonging to Li Fuyue that he hid in Snowy Meizhou.
