Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 818 - 323: The Elder of the Ye Family Is Advanced in Years and Forgetful (Double-Length - )

After Lei Jun shot an "arrow," he immediately left, turned around, and returned to the Zuming Abyss.Such a formidable and brilliant "arrow" left everyone present astonished.

Shangguan Yunbo had been muttering earlier about how Ye Morong had disappeared during the fight.

Now it seemed the other party was secretly preparing this astonishing arrow?

On the opposite side, Li Yan’s eyes almost burst with anger. He swung his saber to force back Shangguan Yunbo and then rushed to the corpse of Li Yongzong at high speed.

He emitted a thunderous roar, then with a flash of his figure, he pursued straight toward the direction of Zuming Abyss.

Li Yan chased all the way, and from time to time, a line of azure light beams suddenly shot toward him from within the black mist ahead.

Li Yan’s eyes were blood red, his face green with rage. He neither dodged nor avoided, only swung his saber to deflect, increasing his speed to chase the Confucian divine archer ahead.

When he chased near the Zuming Abyss, Li Yan’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

His familiarity with the Earth Sea far exceeded that of the ordinary cultivators in the Mortal World.

The Zuming Abyss before him seemed to be undergoing the Prison Abyss Transformation?

As expected, just as Li Yan slowed his pace, a massive vortex appeared again in the western waters of Zuming Abyss, swallowing heaven and earth like an abyss, like a purgatory.

The unique extreme yin prison fire of the Earth Sea erupted, burning the sky and boiling the sea.

Li Yan’s expression was stony; his originally halted steps now slowly advanced, the blood-red saber blade continuously swung.

At this moment, his hatred and rage toward the Confucian divine archer who shot his son dead had overwhelmed his concerns for personal safety.

He restrained the suffering of being engulfed by the abyss and entangled in prison fire until he saw Ye Morong’s treasure bow and some ceremonial artifacts being consumed by the abyssal vortex, and then he stopped his steps again.

The head of the Poli Clan let out another roar and then, relying on his Nine Heavens cultivation, forcibly broke out of the area affected by the Prison Abyss Transformation.

After coming out, his gaze remained angrily fixed in the direction of Zuming Abyss.

Though it seemed the other party died from unfamiliarity with the Earth Sea environment, accidentally entering the Prison Abyss Transformation, not being able to personally slay that old Confucian left Li Yan seething with rage.

He held several objects in his hand.

These were the few remaining ceremonial artifacts from Yang Yuqi’s earlier disrupted banquet.

Li Yan suddenly turned around, looking toward the direction of the Void Gateway leading from the Earth Sea to the Mortal World.

His blood-red eyes seemed to be burning.

Li Yan took a deep breath, and the flames of rage in his gaze faded.

But the resentment did not subside, only became a colder killing intent.

He immediately turned his head back, to reunite with the Bili Clan led by his clansman Li De.

For him and the Poli Clan, resolving the current dilemma must take precedence over other matters.

As for Li Yongzong’s death...

"What about those Xuanyuan people?" Li Yan asked an elder of his clan beside him.

He was referring to the descendants of the Former Sui who had accompanied Yang Yuqi to the Earth Sea.

The clan elder glanced into the distance: "Over there, but two more have died."

Li Yan said, "As long as there are survivors, that’s enough. Take good care of them, and once settled, I have questions for them!"

With Yang Yuqi’s death, although there were still Confucian practitioners among the Sui Dynasty descendants, their bloodline and cultivation could not compare with Yang Yuqi.

The previous banquet would be hard to replicate.

But they knew more about the conditions of the Great Tang Realm.

Li Yan believed they could provide him with more information.

Information about the old Confucian who shot Li Yongzong dead.

......

Lei Jun used the Zuming Abyss’s Prison Abyss Transformation to hinder Li Yan, while he himself quickly left the perilous area using the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat.

He did not reappear afterward.

The Earth Sea environment was treacherous and complex; it was not hard for Lei Jun to find a secluded place to stay.

However, such hidden places might not be stable.

He unfurled the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat, concealing himself within the void and began to quietly adjust his breath.

Those few "arrows" just now consumed him significantly; a single "arrow" currently expended even more than a Primordial Magnet Flying Sword.

"The newly created divine skill still has much room for improvement and refinement," Lei Jun mused inwardly.

But for now, its power and effect were sufficient for use.

This was still with Lei Jun using the Vast Integrity Jade Kui as a disguise.

If he directly used his own Taoist Sect methods, the preparation time could be shorter... Lei Jun pondered.

As he was silently contemplating, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript in his pupils flickered with brilliance.

His junior sister, Tang Xiaotang, sent a message:

"Wei Ancheng has been taken down by me."

She didn’t sound particularly satisfied, but her tone was generally quite spirited.

Lei Jun: "Junior Sister, having just achieved the Ninth Heavenly Layer, and successfully decapitating the Sect Leader of the Witchcraft Sect’s Sacred Land, will surely make you famous across the world and shake the Great Tang."

Tang Xiaotang gave a light cough: "Oh, it’s nothing, he was already injured anyway."

Although she wasn’t physically present, Lei Jun seemed to see her pacing back and forth in front of him, as if an invisible tail of pride was wagging behind her.

"Wei Ancheng secluded himself at Chaoyang Peak in the Great Southern Mountain years ago, achieving the Ninth Heavenly Layer, and upon emerging, encountered Jinzhou’s Ye Han, Ye Lingxi, Golden City Stronghold’s Gao Pu, and Cao Chu. Ultimately, Gao Pu and Ye Han were seriously injured, while Cao Chu and Ye Lingxi died. He used those two Seventh Heavenly Layer cultivators as sacrifices to his blade after coming out of seclusion," Lei Jun recounted.

"Karma is cyclical, Junior Sister, today you emerge and raise your flag with the sacrifice of Wei Ancheng of the Ninth Heavenly Layer; it’s the Grand River’s waves pushing the old with the new, and the killer is often killed," Lei Jun said.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaotang finally laughed: "Yes, indeed..."

But she quickly remembered another matter: "Previously, during my crossing of the Heavenly Moat Tribulation, someone came to cause trouble, right? I recall it was from the Jiuli People."
