Faced with Zhang Qianmo’s questions, Li Fan simply smiled and remained silent.
“I never thought that once the world’s premier sect would now stoop to cooperating with demonic beasts.”
A hint of contempt flashed across Zhang Qianmo’s face: “It seems that all these years, the efforts of the Xian Dao sect have not been in vain.”
Li Fan’s expression remained unchanged, and he said in a mysterious tone: “Brother Zhang, so things in this world are not as simple as they seem on the surface.”
“What if I told you, I have absolutely nothing to do with the Mystic Sky Sect. Would you believe ?”
Zhang Qianmo looked at Li Fan as if he were an idiot, his expression suggesting ‘do you really think I would believe that?’, and he snorted without replying.
Li Fan laughed and didn’t press further on the issue.
While looking at Zhang Qianmo and flipping through Li Chen’s mories, he discovered so interesting details that he hadn’t noticed before.
After considering these for a mont, he attempted to probe: “The Mystic Sky Sect, that’s a story from many years ago. Since I joined the Violet Firmant Sect, I have never heard any news about the Mystic Sky Sect over all these years.”
“You’re just a bit older than , Brother Zhang, but how is it that you know so many secrets so clearly?”
Zhang Qianmo’s expression slightly changed, but he still didn’t answer.
Seeing his theories confird, Li Fan pressed further: “Even back then, I felt Master and the other senior disciples were treating you a bit strangely.”
“I had previously thought it was due to your remarkable talents.”
“But looking at it now…”
Li Fan chuckled.
Zhang Qianmo’s face gradually darkened.
“On top of that, even though we’re from the sa sect, your techniques and divine abilities outshine mine by a wide margin!”
“Especially your [Purple Elixir’s Nirvana Technique]…”
At this point, Zhang Qianmo’s face turned pale.
He glared at Li Fan as if trying to rember him forever.
In the very next second, his qi, which was already as weak as a mortal’s, quickly dissipated.
Li Fan was shocked, and hastily moved to check him, but it was too late.
When he reached Zhang Qianmo’s side, Zhang Qianmo had already completely lost his life force.
“Feigning death?”
“Nirvana?”
Li Fan didn’t lower his guard, and began his inspection.
After a long while, Li Fan stood up, rubbing his chin.
The outco was sowhat unexpected.
Zhang Qianmo was really dead.
And, unlike before, he did not undergo resurrection from the Purple Elixir after death.
He had completely perished.
If this were the real world, there would probably be an anomaly appearing overhead now.
“A secret technique of self-destruction even with acupoints sealed…”
“Knowledge of ancient secrets and incomparable status within the sect…”
“Although only at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, he held an ambition against the heavens…His vision was amazingly high…”
Li Fan thought for a mont and praised: “It seems that Brother Zhang holds another identity.”
“What a pity…”
Just to be safe, he didn’t remove the Immortal Seal Stone Needle but imdiately began searching Zhang Qianmo’s corpse.
Besides a storage ring, there wasn’t anything else of value.
He tried to push his spirit consciousness into the ring to see what was inside.
But he was repelled by a flashing purple electric spark.
“Seems like it’s protected by a restriction that I can’t break.” After trying more than ten tis without success, Li Fan felt a little regretful.
“Well, I can’t take it back to the real world anyway.”
Li Fan simply gave up.
“Now that Brother Zhang is out of the way, next up is Manager Song.”
After so thought, Li Fan dug a hole in the secret room and placed Zhang Qianmo’s body into it.
Then he covered it with the Immortal Seal stone tablet.
Afterwards, he headed straight for the Life-Extending Tree of Rebirth at the city center.
As he was about to approach, he released his aura.
“Which brother cos here?!” A slightly surprised voice ca from Song Hesong.
Soon, a figure in a grey Taoist robe appeared in front of Li Fan.
“So it’s Brother Li in person!”
Li Fan did not exchange pleasantries with him and instead coldly said, “Manager Song, you’re managing Ningyuan City quite well!”
Song Hesong was stunned by Li Fan’s aggressive attitude, so much so he thought the secret plan had been exposed.
His reflexes were ready to retaliate.
But he managed to hold back, tentatively asking, “Brother, what do you an?”
Li Fan snorted, “Brother Zhang and I discovered so forbidden objects in the city. If these things are exposed in our Violet Firmant Sect territory, not only you as a minor manager would be in trouble, but the entire sect might be implicated.”
“Forbidden objects?” Song Hesong was a bit bewildered.
Feigning ignorance and fear, Song Hesong asked, “What exactly are the objects that have violated such big taboos? Brother Li, please enlighten !”
Li Fan turned and flew towards Mr. Bai’s courtyard.
“Follow !”
Song Hesong looked at Li Fan’s receding figure, hesitating for a mont.
With a quick sweep of his spirit consciousness, Chu Liang and the others were still at the planned ambush site, and nothing had gone awry.
Relying on his Golden Core cultivation level, Song Hesong followed without fear.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the underground secret chamber.
Li Fan’s surprised voice ca from below, “Eh? Where is Brother Zhang?”
Song Hesong swept his spirit consciousness around, found no ambush, and followed in.
Upon seeing the broken faceless stone statue standing in the secret chamber, he was slightly taken aback.
Because this statue was completely not within his spirit consciousness sense.
“Could it be that the forbidden object Brother Li ntioned is this statue?” Song Hesong couldn’t help but ask.
Li Fan nodded and leaned in, “Exactly, it is this [Xuan Tian God Statue]!”
“Xuan Tian God Statue…” Manager Song’s brows furrowed slightly, it seed he had heard this na a long ti ago.
After a while, it seed he rembered sothing, his body trembled slightly and his pupils shrank.
He abruptly looked back at the faceless stone statue.
Just at this mont…
“Pluck!”
A stone needle pierced his Dantian from behind.
With a shocked heart, as he was about to counterattack, the energy within his body stagnated.
What waited for him were the next thirty-five Immortal Seal Stone Needles.
With all his acupoints sealed, Song Hesong fell to the ground.
A wave of regret surged in his mind. However, he tried to hold onto the slightest hope and managed to ask in hardship, “Brother, what’s your intention? I indeed didn’t know about this Xuan Tian God Statue in the city.”
“Although I did neglect my duty, the punishnt can’t be to this extent…”
Li Fan’s words ruthlessly interrupted him, and his heart sank to the bottom.
“What if you also colluded with outsiders and planned so sinister act? A Golden Core cultivator posing as an Energy Refining Cultivator is truly an injustice to you!”
Song Hesong’s face turned extrely pale.
He wanted to struggle for the last ti, but it was in vain.
Li Fan approached step by step, “Let’s see, what else do you know?”
Seeing that he had caught every subtle change in Song Hesong’s expressions, a sowhat creepy smile appeared on Li Fan’s face.
Song Hesong watched as he slowly took out tools such as hamrs, knives, and nails from the wooden box and thodically placed them on the table.
Cold sweat began to drip from his forehead.
