Chapter 1089: Chapter 1083: You Knew All Along
“Ancestors sacrificing to the heavens, boundless Spiritual power.”
At this moment, as the white light emitted by the antimatter bomb lit up the void, following Li Wei’s words, the members of the Li Clan struck first.
Li Tianqi’s Tier-4 grand defensive array resisted the shockwaves of the Ancestor’s self-destruction.
The clan members unleashed techniques from all directions.
Li Changyao drew her bow and nocked three supreme-grade Dharma Treasure long arrows, leaving only the arrow crafted from the Zhao Clan Ancestor’s rib bone.
Li Yaoqing even used the ‘Mountain-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Ring’, which she had kept in reserve until now.
In front of them, a mirror surface actually appeared.
Similarly, a mirror surface appeared before the eyes of the various experts from all factions.
This mirror surface contained spatial laws and led directly to where the Li Clan Ancestor was.
Even techniques could be sent through it; if used, they could reach the Li Clan Ancestor’s location through the spatial laws, simultaneously capable of destroying the Li Clan Ancestor’s body.
“Boom!”
Spiritual power surged.
White light and various types of Spiritual power appeared exactly where Li Wei was via the spatial laws.
The converged techniques of the experts from all factions were dazzling.
The Nirvana Sage Elder’s Heavenly Fire Great Dao contested against the myriad laws until the fierce flames turned into smoke.
Multicolored hues swayed like auroras, and the shockwaves scattered the Heavenly Fire.
Only a shrill phoenix cry could be heard, lingering in the void for a long time.
A few snaps of the fingers later.
The experts from all factions used techniques to dispel the shockwaves.
In the void, only the lingering resonance of the Heavenly Fire Great Dao remained, along with burning phoenix feathers drifting down from above.
As these feathers gradually fell, they also began to turn into ashes.
The figure of the Nirvana Sage Elder could no longer be seen in the void.
“The Nirvana Sage Elder… fell for the trick.”
Wenren Jiuyue stared blankly at the place where the Spiritual power had just converged.
He saw that the Li family members were still in their original spot, protected by green scales.
Aside from the Huan Gui, in the void above, an expert at the Half-Step Body Integration realm had actually appeared, bringing two Void Refinement cultivators along.
The Li Clan was clearly prepared long in advance.
On Li Changyao’s face—the one least capable of hiding her thoughts—a hint of a cold sneer could still be seen.
The Li Clan members were hiding a Body Integration expert.
The three who suddenly appeared all used bizarre techniques, and coupled with the Li Clan Ancestor’s spatial laws, even if a Dao Integration expert dared to actively charge at them, they would be in for a rude awakening!
“A Body Integration expert, and this Half-Step Body Integration expert is so incredibly strong…”
Perfected Qinghe frowned as he looked at the Huan Gui and the gray-robed young man in the cloudy sky.
The young man was heading toward where the Li family members were, arriving beside Li Xinnian and chatting merrily with him.
“The world hasn’t heard of these two before. They…”
But before Perfected Qinghe could finish speaking.
A cold shout from Zhao Guang interrupted everyone’s thoughts. “Demoness, you still want to run?”
…
At this time.
Nun Dairou wanted to flee but was blocked by Zhao Guang.
At the very least, there were more than twenty Void Refinement cultivators present. One Dao Integration, two Dao-Comprehension, and one Dao-Glimpsing expert.
In this situation, for Nun Dairou, there was truly no road to heaven and no door into the earth.
“Senior Huan Gui.”
Li Tianqi smiled at the Huan Gui. However, the Huan Gui only glanced at him, clearly still brooding over being deceived at the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems.
This caused the corners of Li Tianqi’s mouth to twitch. Even when he was cultivating in the Thunder Fire Demon Cave, the Huan Gui hadn’t wanted to talk to him…
Instead, the Huan Gui nodded to the other Li family members, and the clan members nodded slightly in return.
“Miss Yaoqing, why does this Daoist friend share the same Dao path as the Crown Prince?”
Perfected Qinghe looked solemnly at the Huan Gui.
From the Li Clan killing the Crown Prince to the Huan Gui possessing the exact same Dao path as the Crown Prince, Perfected Qinghe thought of many things in a short span of time.
Li Yaoqing cracked a wide grin. Before she could even speak, Nun Dairou’s bitter voice rang out, her face already ashen.
“You… you knew all along.”
After the Nirvana Sage Elder vanished in the void, feathers fell from the sky, burning with flames before turning into ashes.
The specks of firelight added a touch of sorrow.
“This person cultivates the same Dao as Fei Heng.
She had already attempted to break through long ago and must have already known that someone had occupied her Dao path.
That is why you killed Fei Heng.
Fei Heng was in my Dusheng Nunnery, yet you didn’t make a move against him. You wanted to draw the Nirvana Sage Elder out…”
“To settle the scores all at once.”
Nun Dairou’s face was ashen.
One wrong step leads to a series of wrong steps.
All of them, the people of Shadowfell Prefecture, had laid down their chess pieces in the Shadowfell Prefecture, waiting to seek their Daos. Yet in the end, they had fallen into the Li Clan’s trap.
The expressions of Zhao Guang and the other cultivators from the Imperial Capital all changed.
However, Li Yunbing shook his head. “Not entirely correct.”
…
In the cloudy sky of Dayu Prefecture, Min Tiange arrived, stepping through the void, and stared at the place where the powerful Spiritual power fluctuations had just occurred.
He saw a streak of red light flash through the void like lightning, heading toward the endless forest where the Wu tribe was located.
The corners of Min Tiange’s thin lips curled up slightly.
“The Azure Cloud Li Clan became the fisherman; quite interesting.”
He extended his right hand and performed a divination calculation.
Buddhist light reflected in the cloudy sky, and surprisingly, it was two nuns!
A delicate-looking nun holding the drooping Dharma Master Hongzhen bowed to Min Tiange.
“Subordinate Hongjie greets the Master.”
Seeing Min Tiange nod slightly, Dharma Master Hongjie looked at the battlefield in the void where numerous experts surrounded Nun Dairou, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
“Master, it is the Azure Cloud Li Clan! We all fell for the Li Clan’s scheme!”
Learning everything that had happened in the Dusheng Nunnery, Min Tiange felt even clearer in his heart.
He smiled and said, “The Li Clan is interesting too. I didn’t expect the Huan Gui from the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems to associate with them. I’m afraid they knew about the Crown Prince cooperating with me long ago.”
“How is that possible?” Hongjie narrowed her eyes.
“Look at that person.”
Hongjie looked toward the person Min Tiange pointed at. It was precisely the Huan Gui.
Min Tiange said, “This person and Fei Heng cultivate the same Dao. She inherently cultivated the same Dao as the Corpse God.
Arriving in Shadowfell Prefecture, she must have already sensed that her Dao path lay within Shadowfell Prefecture; everything has traces that can be followed.
The only one who could give Fei Heng the secret arts of the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems is me.”
“Therefore, from the very beginning, the Li Clan never intended to save Fei Heng. They were waiting.”
“Waiting?” Hongjie frowned.
“Waiting for Fei Heng to expose his flaws, and also waiting for the Nirvana Sage Elder.
The Nirvana Sage Elder waited decades for the opportunity I prepared.
When Fei Heng appeared, the Nirvana Sage Elder would absolutely not let this chance slip by.”
Min Tiange smiled. “Similarly, they were also waiting… for me!”
As he spoke, Min Tiange stared fixedly at Su Chen.
He always felt a familiar aura coming from Su Chen.
