Xu Xing was quite fearful of the soul curse ntioned by Li Fan.
If possible, Xu Xing did not want to kill Li Fan at this mont, which would attract the attention of cultivators from the Chiming Imperial Dynasty.
However, Xu Xing knew that the cultivators sent by the Chiming Imperial Dynasty to monitor the Daoist sects in East Huangzhou were not limited to just Li Fan. Once these people found out that Li Fan had gone missing, the suspect would definitely be him, the Butian Sect Master who had just destroyed the two Primordial Spirits of Flying Feather Immortal Palace. Primordial Spirit mbers of Emperor's Son Pavilion could communicate with each other through the Black Sky Mirror, and Xu Xing didn't believe that the cultivators from Chiming World in East Huangzhou lacked similar ans to communicate.
Therefore, Xu Xing's solution to all these troubles was to shift the bla elsewhere...
As for whether this thod would work, Xu Xing didn't know. He could only do his best and let fate take its course.
「Ti passed...」
By the fourth day, the demon repair controlled by Xu Xing finally used demonic techniques to shallowly refine Li Fan's Nascent Soul in the jade bottle into a puppet.
At this very mont, the jade bottle suddenly shattered.
Li Fan's Nascent Soul walked out of the jade bottle, his body wreathed in red and white Immortal Qi. With vacant eyes, he scanned his surroundings. After clearly seeing the face of the demon repair in the cave mansion, he raised his hand and, with a single point, pierced through the demon repair's brow.
"Killed by a Nascent Soul?"
"No, there must be others behind him. This person is careful and cautious, controlling the demon repair to refine the Nascent Soul of that good-for-nothing Li Fan..." Li Fan's Nascent Soul spoke coldly.
Just then, Li Fan's Nascent Soul suddenly discovered a hidden magic formation in the cave mansion. He instantly appeared next to the formation and carefully investigated its prohibitions.
"It's a mind-controlling array, and... an Illusory Heart Watching Array that peeks into the cave mansion?" Li Fan's Nascent Soul frowned. He then ford a hand seal and began to remotely sense the direction of the other set of the Illusory Heart Watching Array. The "Illusory Heart Watching Array" was a fourth-stage Formation thod among spying arrays, extrely well-hidden, and usually had two sets of arrays: one for surveillance and one for imaging.
"Yama Palace?" Li Fan's Nascent Soul quickly made a judgnt by comparing the sensed location with the map of East Huangzhou in his mind.
"Pass on my order: slaughter the Nascent Soul Cultivators of Yama Palace. Show no rcy."
"Also, monitor Butian Sect's Xu Xing and track his whereabouts."
Li Fan's Nascent Soul's lips moved slightly, transmitting this order remotely.
Butian Sect's Xu Xing. This na repeatedly appeared in the mind of Li Fan's Nascent Soul. The powerful figure currently controlling Li Fan's Nascent Soul, although not believing Xu Xing was the one who killed Li Fan, would rather kill a thousand innocents than let a single suspect escape. However, in his mory, Xu Xing had not stayed in Butian Sect's Seven Star Sect Cave, and his whereabouts were unknown. This was why he had not ordered the destruction of Butian Sect, to avoid startling the snake in the grass.
「...」
「...」
A Refining Void Immortal? No! It was a Unification Realm Immortal, or even a Tribulation Crossing Immortal, who effortlessly tore through the prohibitions I left in Li Fan's body...
Thousands of miles away, upon sensing that Li Fan had broken through the prohibitions, Xu Xing imdiately cut off his connection with the demon repair and his control over all the array techniques in the cave mansion.
The sheer force of that power made Xu Xing's heart pound.
Xu Xing secretly sighed at his carelessness. He slapped his Spirit Beast Bag, waking the Earth Dragon, and ordered it, "Go to Red Dust Pavilion. Tell Dai Ji to co out of seclusion quickly and wait for at the Cross-State Teleportation Array Palace."
The Earth Dragon nodded, let out a dragon's roar, and soared into the sky, rushing towards Red Dust Pavilion at full speed.
Then, Xu Xing flicked his sleeve robe and, riding his Escaping Light, returned to Butian Sect.
He didn't know if the Chiming World Immortal controlling Li Fan's Nascent Soul had discovered his involvent. To be on the safe side, he planned to move his relatives ahead of schedule.
In the Main Hall of Butian Sect, Xu Xing instantly appeared before Zuoqiu Ying, whispered a few words to her, and then took her away.
As for matters within the Sect, Xu Xing found Zhongtai Dao Lord and asked him to temporarily manage them.
Although leaving Zhongtai Dao Lord and the others to face the danger seed sowhat ungrateful, Xu Xing didn't regret his decision. One must distinguish between close associates and distant ones. Subordinates are ant to take the bla. When he first established the sect, his aim was to use Butian Sect to gather resources, not for any other purpose.
Strengthen the Flying Feather Immortal Palace? Put things right? These all ranked far below his personal interests.
Moreover, his relationship with Zhongtai Dao Lord wasn't very close. They had fought back then; if Xu Xing's cultivation hadn't improved later, Zhongtai Dao Lord would not have left Flying Feather Immortal Palace to join Butian Sect.
There was another point: if Butian Sect truly scattered and fled, Xu Xing wouldn't be the one to lose out, but rather these sect mbers who had left. These sect mbers would not only be targeted by Chiming World cultivators but also by the other sect forces in East Huangzhou, who might secretly abduct them.
However, Xu Xing was not entirely heartless. Before leaving Butian Sect, he inford Zhongtai Dao Lord and the others in great detail about the potential crises Butian Sect might face.
To stay and defend, or to flee—the choice was entirely up to them.
"The Sect Leader encountered this crisis because he sought to avenge the Immortal Palace. We... as the Sect Leader's elders, although our cultivation is inferior to his, are willing to guard the Daoism..." Zhongtai Dao Lord stated.
As his words fell, a number of Nascent Soul Daoist Lords from the Master and Disciple Lineage, like Zhongtai Dao Lord, chose to remain in Butian Sect.
anwhile, so other Dao Lords chose to leave secretly, planning to return after one hundred years if Butian Sect faced no crisis.
Seeing this, Xu Xing didn't linger in Butian Sect. After taking most of the resources from the treasury, he left Butian Sect and headed for Wangchuan Sea.
However, just as he was halfway there, Xu Xing's expression changed slightly. He looked towards the direction of Yama Palace, where he sensed a battle between Nascent Soul Cultivators.
