Hearing the other party’s words, he was quite touched.
It seed feasible.
But it was sowhat sneaky.
It wasn’t very good for one’s reputation.
Li Daode said, "Brother, do you feel that this kind of behavior is sowhat bad? Don’t feel pressured. I’ve road the world for hundreds of years and seen all sorts of things. Hypocrites are countless; unlike us who do things openly and leisurely."
"Just give a word, are you in or out? If you join, I guarantee we have a chance to succeed."
Lin Fan said, "Be honest with , how many people have you recruited over the years? And how many have died?"
Why did he feel like he was being recruited into a pyramid sche?
Joining the Sunshine Project: a million a month is not a dream, but everyone ends up dying, and only a few survive.
"Brother, let be honest, only two. But this line of work is dangerous, so... you know, I’m not forcing you. I just see you as soone decent and trustworthy and want to lead you to make a fortune," Li Daode said.
He wasn’t exaggerating.
Indeed, there were only two.
And they were trustworthy, having shared life-and-death experiences.
But in a world full of uncertainties, doing this kind of work is highly risky. If discovered by a powerful entity, the chance of escape is slim—it’s a nine-to-one death ratio.
But if you succeed, the rewards will be abundant, an unimaginable fortune in a lifeti.
The rich seek danger.
Success or failure depends on whether you have the guts.
Lin Fan, having nothing to do, also wanted to quickly improve his strength and was eager to make money.
The number of cultivators was innurable.
Resources were limited.
In a sect, not only must one have strength, but to gain support from others, one must have wealth. Without money, who would want to curry favor?
"Alright, I’m in. First, tell about this powerful figure. Since wealth is sought in danger, there must be a perfect strategy," Lin Fan said, wanting to try it out to see if these powerful figures were as he described and if there was anything to gain. If there was, this could indeed beco a side job in the future.
Li Daode replied, "This great figure is a demon expert, known as the Blood Saber Demon, previously ntioned as in the Void Realm, with a cave mansion on Corpse Mountain. He usually likes to act alone."
"If this is the case, it’s quite challenging. We can only face him head-on, and with his Void Realm power, taking us out would be like dealing with ants," Lin Fan said.
Li Daode laughed, "I haven’t finished yet. I’ve already investigated the Blood Saber Demon thoroughly. He practices a supre demon skill and needs to change blood thrice every hundred years. According to my investigation, the old demon prefers to change blood during the Bloodmoon. The first Bloodmoon was a few days ago, and the second is coming these days. Moreover, the blood-changing place is not in the cave mansion, so this second occasion is our chance."
"But this old demon is very cautious. On that day, the cave mansion will surely enhance its defenses. The array we face will definitely be very dangerous, so it’s best to be cautious."
Lin Fan looked at the other, giving a thumbs up, "Impressive, you’ve had this plan for a hundred years, just waiting for today."
"Of course, brother, this is called being prepared for a rainy day. Doing this is playing with life, being careless impossible," Li Daode said.
He had foresight.
A professional.
Specifically doing this line of work.
"But breaking the array set by a Void Realm expert isn’t that simple. With our capability, it’s probably tricky, isn’t it?"
Lin Fan always felt things were too good to be true, the better it was, the more difficult and sowhat wishful thinking.
Li Daode smiled, the corner of his mouth curling up, "Without the proper skills, you don’t handle delicate tasks. If I didn’t have so ability, I wouldn’t have chosen this path, and no fear of you being concerned. When I was younger, I stumbled into a cave mansion, gaining a world-shaking hand seal. Any array involves spiritual energy, and every array has flaws. This hand seal identifies flaws and breaks spiritual energy."
"Rest assured, I won’t betray you."
"Let’s go."
Li Daode was previously beaten to serious injury by the Blood Saber Demon, near death, but his resources were extraordinary.
He took a life-saving spirit pill, entering a recovery state.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have faced the danger of being swallowed by a crocodile again.
Corpse Mountain.
Two figures sneaked through the mountain. The place didn’t match its na; even by the end, no remains were seen.
Flight was impossible here; only walking was allowed.
Li Daode took out two talismans, sticking one on each to conceal breathing and hide blood aura.
According to him, the Blood Saber Demon is sensitive to blood aura, able to sense it without using mana, so caution was necessary to avoid discovery.
If discovered, the situation would be extrely dire.
"We must be careful; a hundred miles ahead is the old demon’s cave mansion. We wait here for the Bloodmoon, and once it appears, we’ll act imdiately," Li Daode whispered.
Lin Fan was impressed. From a hundred miles away, if the old demon could still hear them, it would indeed be shocking.
The two hid in a concealed location.
The sky gradually darkened.
The moon in the sky appeared sowhat different than usual.
Suddenly.
Whistling winds blew across the land.
"Hush, be careful. The Blood Saber Demon has sent blood souls to check the surroundings."
Li Daode was really familiar with the Blood Saber Demon.
Now he understood why the demon could establish such an empire within a few centuries at a young age; it wasn’t without reason.
He sought stable riches, always opting for safety.
These blood souls, clad in blood-red garnts, gave an eerie feeling.
At this mont.
Lin Fan noticed what seed to be a silhouette standing in the distance, casting a startling red light around.
Li Daode imdiately pressed Lin Fan’s head down, "Don’t look at him. The Void Realm elder’s senses are extrely sharp. A strong being being watched will have a sense of it. Brother, you lack experience in training. In the future, be sure to be more mindful and cautious."
The two lay low, heads down.
The red light passed over them, but it didn’t detect their presence, clearly having sothing to do with Li Daode’s talisman.
Ever since Lin Fan acquired the Four Sacred Reversal Set, he had beco sowhat careless, not knowing when to be discreet.
Now, hearing Li Daode’s words.
It suddenly felt reasonable.
One shouldn’t be so brazen; traveling requires caution.
After a while.
The sense of being hunted disappeared.
"Wait a bit more, the old demon is treacherous; he’ll co back a second ti. Only when the Bloodmoon is full can we act," Li Daode whispered.
He had suffered here the first ti.
Thinking the old demon went to change blood.
Unexpectedly, the demon returned unexpectedly, catching him off guard.
Learning from past mistakes.
If tricked again, he’d have learned nothing.
Sure enough, not long after.
The blood souls reappeared.
The Blood Saber Demon showed up again.
Li Daode seed to have left an impression on the Blood Saber Demon, causing such insecurity.
The Blood Saber Demon didn’t find a target and left again.
"Brother, let’s move,"
Li Daode breathed a sigh of relief, indicating safety. Just as he was about to stand up, Lin Fan grabbed him.
"Don’t move, wait a little more. If the Blood Saber Demon ca a second ti, he’d co a third. The Bloodmoon just turned full; there’s no rush for the old demon," Lin Fan said calmly.
When dealing with an old trickster, you must be even more cunning.
Moreover, based on his deduction and experience, the storyline often played out this way.
So righteous supporting character would sneak into the villain’s house to steal sothing. The villain would leave, but soon return to check, then leave again, only to return once more after a while.
Logically, sooner or later, safety should be ensured.
The supporting character would joyfully leave with the stolen goods, only to be caught by the villain waiting outside.
Thus, if stories dared to portray it, reality might not be far off.
Li Daode felt Lin Fan was being overly cautious. From his centuries of experience, how could this happen?
Just as he was about to speak.
The Blood Saber Demon indeed appeared, flying a circle around Corpse Mountain, searching carefully until confirming no one’s presence before leaving.
"Brother, you nailed it. If you hadn’t reminded , we’d have been discovered just now," Li Daode was surprised, not expecting his newly acquainted brother to be so resourceful.
Lin Fan said calmly, "Nothing worth ntioning. I’ve already known his thoughts inside out."
If the Blood Saber Demon knew there were two show-offs like them, he wouldn’t be able to resist beating them to death.
Coming to my territory.
And still acting.
The two quickly headed towards the Blood Saber Demon’s cave mansion. Though a hundred miles away, it felt like they were just at the doorstep.
"We’ve arrived." Li Daode raised his hand, observing the surroundings, "Impressive, worthy of the Blood Saber Demon, choosing such a cave mansion in dark and ominous terrain. Establishing the cave mansion on a critical point, using the entire terrain as a foundation, forming a natural array. Based on my observations, there are at least dozens of arrays coexisting, forming a slaughter array. An outsider entering without sufficient cultivation may likely die here."
"But too bad for him, he’s eting , Li Daode. re arrays won’t stop ; watch how I break them."
Lin Fan watched, quite interested; he really wanted to see how Li Daode breaks the big array.
He possessed the Four Sacred Reversal Set, which was enough to rampage through.
At this mont.
Li Daode perford so kind of mysterious hand seal, slapping the void, grasping and shifting. It seed random, yet in Lin Fan’s eyes, he could feel the surrounding space’s fluctuations.
The breakage in spiritual energy, the array’s flaws were greatly magnified.
"The first array is broken."
"The second array is broken."
"The third array is broken."
...
"The twenty-third array is broken."
Li Daode looked serious, sweat covering his face. He then took out several elixirs, swallowed them, and restored his mana.
Performing this technique consud considerable mana.
Moreover, breaking the array set by a Void Realm elder naturally wasn’t easy.
Lin Fan could tell that the hand seal Li Daode used wasn’t an ordinary one; it was definitely a supre art.
Indeed, those with great fortune were not few.
A few more arrays were broken, until the last one.
"Brother, the last array is broken. Let’s hurry inside, make the most of the ti. The Bloodmoon is almost over. Rember, don’t examine things inside; nothing must be left behind, not even a stone."
