Chapter 208: Thoughts and Understanding
When the Liu family’s ancestor heard the words “raising blood slaves”, his eyes suddenly widened.

“Are you… a remnant of the Jedi? No, that’s not right. A hundred years have passed. Your bone age… could you be a remnant of the Jedi?”

He stared at Li Ji’an, recalling the biggest change that had happened in these years.

He remembered it very clearly. It was ninety-seven years ago. He thought that the whole clan had been impressed by his great courage, but he never thought that Liu Jingchun would lead people to rebel.

Moreover, at that time he still had some doubts about the Heavenly Master and did not take his words of grave danger to heart.

As a result, the harvesting of blood slaves continued for a hundred years without any problems, but an accident happened that time.

After he dealt with the rebellion within the tribe, he sent younger Qi-cultivating people in the tribe to investigate and confirmed that at least five people had escaped from the sandstorm zone and entered the cultivation world of Cangyun Province.

These five people are extremely crucial. Once the matter of the Jedi blood slaves is exposed, it is likely to cause a devastating blow to his plan of immortality.

So, on the one hand, he tried his best to win over and please the upper clan, and on the other hand, he made every effort to search for the remnants, and even sent his clansmen to patrol all the mortal gathering areas in the south.

It was at that time that his trust in the Heavenly Master increased.

Later, he gave up the pursuit because the Heavenly Master said that searching for the remnants of the Jedi was a sign of great disaster.

There was peace for the next hundred years, and he thought that the remnants had already died on the way from Jedi to Cangyun Province.

“My father asked me to give his regards to the Immortal Master on his behalf.” Li Ji’an confirmed his doubts.

“How is this possible?” The Liu family’s ancestor was more shocked than frightened.

A blood slave from a land forsaken by heaven came to this foreign land, without any relatives or friends, and no one to rely on. Moreover, because his spiritual roots had been delayed for too long, it was absolutely impossible for him to achieve much.

Even if you marry and have children, how can you provide a good spiritual environment for your offspring?
How is it possible for the second generation to cultivate a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building?

Li Ji’an smiled faintly.

Without the plug-in of rejuvenation, it is indeed almost impossible.

“It really is karma, the cycle never ends.”

“It’s just…how did you manage to cultivate the Earth Spirit Scripture at the same time?”

This time, Li Ji’an didn’t answer him: “You ask too many questions. I will destroy my Dantian and leave you with only one breath to return to the Xianci Dynasty to apologize.”

“Hmph! You bastard from the Jedi world dare to rebel? Die!” Although only a broken body was left and his golden body was tattered, he was still the real Jiadan Zhenren. The doubts in his heart were resolved and he no longer had any illusions.

“Bang!” The old man’s face was ferocious. As he twisted his body, all the bones except his head instantly left his body and shot towards Li Ji’an outside the formation.

As soon as they came into contact with the magic circle, their bones exploded.

In an instant, a crack in the formation appeared, twice as big as the previous one.

“You brat, come and die!” Then, the magic power of his fake pill exploded, and he rushed out of the magic circle with his limp body.

A smile appeared on Li Ji’an’s lips, and he still looked up to the other party.

I thought it had other trump cards, but unexpectedly, the only one left was the self-destructing pill.

For any cultivator who has reached the stage of forming a golden pill, the liquid magic power is condensed into a solid pill, and the energy inside it is compressed to the extreme, so that even a fake pill can explode.

However, the power is related to the mana status.

When at full power, it self-destructs with a force similar to a full-strength attack.

“Whoosh~” The glass lamp in Li Ji’an’s hand that had been hidden for a long time suddenly exploded, and a circle of flames with two or three percent of the power of a True Dan cultivator enveloped the opponent.

“The prototype of a magic weapon!” The crippled body exclaimed, with despair in his voice.

Qin Henian’s damaged seventh-grade magic weapon failed due to years of cultivation. Even his full-strength attack was not as good as the intact prototype of the magic weapon.

He had originally planned to kill Qin Henian quickly, but was delayed by his magic weapon. Now he was already at the end of his strength, with less than 30% of his full strength, but he encountered the prototype of his full strength magic weapon.

If he self-destructs at this moment, he will not even be able to break through the fire shield, let alone hurt the opponent.

“Swish!” Just as he was hesitating, several dead vines suddenly appeared in the burning fire.

“Ah!” It wrapped around it in an instant, sucking its essence and blood madly, and one of them pierced straight into the dantian, crushing the loose, not firm and impurity-filled pill.

In the blink of an eye, the body lost all its essence and blood, its magical power dissipated, and its head, skin, flesh and blood fell to the ground along with its torso, dying.

The flames dissipated, the vines retracted, and Li Ji’an stepped forward.

Finally, he stepped on its head and looked down at it indifferently.

The old head stared at Li Ji’an who was looking down at him, almost spitting blood.

“I, with my divine power…”

“Bang!” Without giving him a chance to speak, he crushed his head with one foot, just like stepping on a bug.

“Huh~” Li Ji’an let out a long breath, looked back at the Xianci Dynasty, and the depression in his heart suddenly cleared up and became open-minded.

I just asked him to shatter his own Dantian and brought him back to the Xianci Dynasty to apologize, but that was just a lie.

How could he be so involved with this kind of demonic cultivator that was about to cause a shock in the cultivation world of Tiancang Territory?

As for returning to the Xianci Dynasty, based on my previous perceptions and speculations, I’m afraid there is no hope in this life. I can only try during the Qi training period in the next life.

He quickly picked up the storage bag on his body and asked the little fire spirit to check it one by one to make sure there were no hidden means. Then he asked the little fire spirit to clean up the area where the fight had just taken place with the soul-burning fire, leaving no trace of it.

A moment later, Li Ji’an and Xiao Qiao fled westward, intending to go around the Qin family area and return to the Biyun Sect’s Lingfeng.

Only after he had fled three thousand miles did he slow down the speed of the flying boat, let Xiao Qiao take control, and he connected with Gua Gua through the spiritual contract in his sea of consciousness.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, when he just activated his sea of consciousness, an inexplicable feeling of obscurity appeared in his sea of consciousness.

“Quack!” Li Ji’an subconsciously paused, worried about Guagua’s safety.

However, there was only an initial delay, and everything returned to normal, and the quacks in the spiritual contract also gave feedback instantly.

At this moment, Gua Gua was hiding thirty feet underground, not daring to move.

Because at this moment, there was overwhelming pressure in the Liu family’s ancestral home.

Through Gua Gua, Li Ji’an learned that after the ancestor of the Liu family escaped that day, the Zhendan elder of the Biyun Sect came to the Liu family’s ancestral land.

Later, he learned that the person who had just escaped was the ancestor of the Liu family, and was suspected of having really practiced magic. The elder’s face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly contacted the sect.

Afterwards, the Grand Elder of Biyun Sect came in person. The pressure from his late Jindan stage made Gua Gua dare not make any unusual movements and he could only hide in the depths.

And just today, an aura several times more powerful than the pressure of the late Jindan stage descended, and Gua Gua felt a great threat to his life.

“The leader of the Tiancang Territory is ultimately the Wanfa Palace. Under their high-pressure demon-slaying policy, such a demon appeared in Cangyun Province, and he is a direct vassal of the Biyun Sect… The Biyun Sect cannot escape the blame!”

“It actually gave the Wanfa Palace an opportunity to openly plunder the remains of the Biyun Sect.”

“The Biyun Sect’s plan to keep a low profile and develop in isolation is probably not going to work.”

“Fortunately, it has little to do with me.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Ji’an made a prediction about the future situation and did not let the crisis affect him too much.

“Retreat!” At the same time, he gave orders to Gua Gua.

Guagua felt relieved and ran away in one direction without stopping.

After escaping from the Liu family’s territory, it finally breathed a sigh of relief and rose to the surface to breathe the long-lost air.

Li Ji’an saw through his vision that there were still many cultivators gathered outside the Liu family’s territory. Most of them were alliance cultivators who were unwilling to give up and tried to break through the Liu family’s protective formation, but ended up with nothing. There were also a few who came to watch the fun.

Furthermore, within the Liu family territory, many alliance cultivators were queuing up to leave and undergoing screening by several parties. They were probably screening for members of the Liu family’s ancestor’s lineage.

“Wait!” After catching its breath, Guagua was about to escape underground again, but Li Ji’an suddenly called out to it.

“Hurry, move forward.” Li Ji’an was shocked and hurriedly ordered Gua Gua to move closer to the group of cultivators who were walking out of the Liu family’s land.

It was not until they were close to a hundred feet that Li Ji’an’s mind paused.

“How could it be her?”

Li Ji’an frowned as he stared at a beautiful figure in the queue waiting to be screened.

Counting the time, Li Ji’an’s third life began in Zixiao Temple, and then he entered the Xunxian Academy in the capital city, where he met Ning Yutan, who was the first in the same class, and then Ning Yutan became an immortal seedling and was taken away at the age of nineteen.

One hundred and forty-seven years have passed since we last met.

He never expected that he would see that clever little girl who always wanted to compete with Ning Sujin in everything again at this moment in his fifth life!
His face is still youthful and beautiful, but a little thinner than when he ascended to heaven at the age of nineteen.

But his expression was completely different. He was calm and reserved, and he didn’t look around at all times.

Looking back along the team, there was no sign of Ning Sujin.

Li Ji’an had originally expected that the Liu family’s ancestor’s practice of magic had definitely touched the bottom line of the Wanfa Palace, and they would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

Regardless of whether Ning Sujin was willing or forced, given her ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune, the Wanfa Palace would not let her go.

The best outcome is to be recruited by the Wanfa Palace for their own use, but there is a high probability that their freedom will be restricted.

Ever since Li Ji’an learned from Gua Gua five years ago that the Liu family’s “Heavenly Master” could predict good and bad luck, he has been basically certain that the Heavenly Master is Ning Sujin, so he has always hoped to have the opportunity to see Ning Sujin again in the next life.

But I never thought that Ning Yutan would still be alive.

Inferring from the ending, five years after Ning Yutan ascended to heaven, the immortal master went to the Xianci Dynasty again to take Ning Sujin away.

It must be because of its ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

The only way the Liu family knew of his abilities was through Ning Yutan.

However, Li Ji’an had too little information so far and was unable to determine how the Liu family knew about Ning Sujin’s divine favor through Ning Yutan.

Li Ji’an had previously guessed that it might be a soul search.

However, according to our understanding over the years, the strength of the consciousness of a fake Dan Zhenren cannot be freely controlled in the sea of consciousness of others, and there is no guarantee that the sea of consciousness will not be damaged. There are even several records where a Zhendan mid-stage Zhenren forcibly searches the soul, and the result is bound to be the collapse of the sea of consciousness and the death of the body and the disappearance of the soul.

“Could it be that Ning Yutan betrayed Ning Sujin in order to save his own life?” Thinking of this, Li Ji’an shook his head.

With the cunningness of the Liu family’s ancestor, it is impossible for him to believe it. Moreover, it is not easy to enter and exit the Xianci Dynasty every time. Before there is a definite answer, the Liu family’s ancestor should not send someone to specifically pick up Ning Sujin.

“I am a casual cultivator from Tianyuan Prefecture, and I am here to support Master Qin!” At this moment, Ning Yutan was questioned.

A man in front of her, wearing a Wanfa Palace robe, stared at her coldly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. It should be a lie detection method to sense the other person’s soul.

In the face of Ning Yutan’s answer, the other party had no expression on his face. The deacon next to him waved his hands impatiently at Ning Yutan, asking him to leave quickly.

“I am a casual cultivator from Cangyun Prefecture, and I’m here to show my support…” The person who followed closely behind him answered almost the same way.

However, a flash of green light flashed in the eyes of the Wanfa Palace disciple.

“Take him away!” The deacon beside him left and restrained him.

And through Gua Gua’s spiritual sense, he could sense that the Liu family member whose lie was exposed was at the early stage of foundation building, while Ning Yutan was at the late stage of Qi training.

This made Li Ji’an’s eyes flash with suspicion.

“Follow me!” Li Ji’an immediately ordered Gua Gua to follow Ning Yutan secretly.

After Ning Yutan successfully passed the interrogation, he did not stay outside, but went directly to the Liu family’s Biluo Market.

Half a day later, Gua Gua followed Ning Yutan all the way to the Biluo Market.

Now that the Wanfa Palace has come here, no small villain dares to do evil, and the market has returned to its previous state.

Except for the defensive monks from the main branch of the Liu family, all the merchants there returned.

After Ning Yutan arrived at the market town, he wandered around as if he had no purpose.

It was not until nightfall that they settled down in an inn.

For the next month, he almost stayed at home.

In order to prevent Jindan Zhenjun or even Yuanying Zhenjun who were beyond his knowledge from discovering Guagua, Li Ji’an did not dare to let Guagua escape from the ground, and was unclear about Ning Yutan’s behavior in the inn.

At this time, Li Ji’an had already brought Xiao Qiao back to the outer peak of Biyun Sect.

It was not until he sat down in his own alchemy room that Li Ji’an reviewed the affairs of the Liu family.

It was confirmed that apart from the inevitable lingering breath of Gua Gua in the underground of the Liu family, there should be no other loopholes.

As for his whereabouts, even if someone from the Biyun Sect discovered that he had not been in the outer peak for the past two months, it would not be a problem.

After all, the Liu family was such a big deal, and there was such a great opportunity, that no cultivator could resist the greed in his heart. It was understandable that he went to the Liu family quietly, and even if he had joined the Liu-killing Alliance, there would be no problem.

Moreover, at this time, almost all the senior leaders of Biyun Sect had gone to the Liu family to meet with the masters of Wanfa Palace, and the sect protection formation had been activated.

His outer peak was not in the sect protection formation, so ordinary people would not come looking for him.

“The cause and effect of the Immortal Dynasty raising blood slaves has been settled.” With a light sigh, Li Ji’an sent a message to Zhang Tiezhu and Dong Jiangling, pretending to be ignorant and informing them of the Liu family’s affairs.

It is also to verify whether they have any accidents.

Fortunately, after a while, I received replies from both of them.

There is a sense of relief in their words that a great revenge has been achieved.

The three of them also discussed that they must tell Zhao Shuyao about this matter so that she could understand what she wanted before she died.

In the end, this task fell on Li Ji’an.

After all, the Wanshang Cultivation Domain and the Tiancang Domain are separated by a large area of spiritual barren land, and it is difficult for anyone other than a Jindan Zhenren to travel alone. Zhang Tiezhu and Dong Jiangling really do not have the ability to communicate across domains.

After finishing the communication with the two, Li Ji’an pondered for a moment and called Xiao Qiao in.

Now that he has confirmed the relationship between Liu Jingchun and Xiao Qiao, and the main branch of the Liu family has been completely wiped out, it is time to tell Xiao Qiao the truth.

Whatever the decision, he respects it.

“Uncle Li!” Xiao Qiao has been in a very good mood recently.

Especially during this outing, she felt that she was no longer a burden and could be a helper to Uncle Li.

“Sit down.” Li Ji’an nodded with a smile.

Li Ji’an was also very satisfied with Xiao Qiao, and he was even more envious of her abilities.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Li Ji’an is willing to take risks, go deep into the mountains, or search for ancient tombs and ruins, Xiao Qiao will definitely be his good helper.

After all, his greatest ability now is to sense the spiritual power of the earth. He can accurately judge the veins underground, not to mention some rare spiritual objects.

Unfortunately, Li Ji’an had no need to take risks for the time being, which would be a waste of resources.

“Xiao Qiao, today Uncle Li needs to tell you something about your life story. I’ve only recently confirmed this.”
