He seed to want to say sothing more, but he had already stopped breathing.
And so.
The founding Patriarchs of the three great clans below the mountain had all passed away.
The river of ti surged past, drowning one generation after another of figures who struggled to seek immortality.
「A few days later.」
Chen Yuanshan’s funeral was held.
Li Chang’an attended the funeral, silently wishing his old friend a smooth journey on the Reincarnation Path.
He glanced at Chen Qianya, who was presiding over the funeral, said nothing more, and transford into a streak of light, returning to Changqing Mountain.
「In the days that followed.」
Li Chang’an was constantly searching for an opportunity to deal with He Qianshan.
In addition, he was also buying up souls on a large scale.
Although his Righteous Dao thods were already very strong, his Demonic thods could not be neglected.
’I have to get the Venerable Soul Banner upgraded to Tier Three Middle Grade as soon as possible.’
Li Chang’an frequently changed into various disguises to enter and exit the Black Market.
This wasn’t just limited to the Black Market in Yellow Crane Immortal City.
There were Black Markets near the Three Great Sects and the Seven Great Clans as well.
Black Markets also existed outside the various Foundation Establishnt Influences and Marketplaces.
With the expansion of the Yin Soul Sect, disciples from Demonic Sects could be found in almost every Black Market, as long as one looked hard enough.
In just half a year, Li Chang’an’s soul count exceeded 500,000, but the quality had dropped slightly.
This was because he accepted all cors, buying many low-quality souls from Demonic Sect Qi Refining disciples.
But even the lowest quality soul could still provide a wisp of Soul Power.
Over ti, quantity could lead to a qualitative change!
「On this day.」
Li Chang’an went to the Black Market again to purchase souls as usual.
Luo Baitong suddenly found him and said, "Daoist Li, Jiang Lin is in trouble again. He’s been looking for you for the past few days."
"What trouble?"
"It’s the Five Poison Wanderer. That old poison master is making a move himself..."
Luo Baitong explained in detail.
The last ti Li Chang’an had saved Jiang Lin, he had killed over a dozen Foundation Establishnt Cultivators from the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage, several of whom were in the Late Stage.
To him, it had been a trivial matter.
But for the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage, the losses were devastating!
The Five Poison Wanderer was enraged and planned to settle this grudge with Li Chang’an once and for all.
Many years ago, the identity of Li Fan had already developed a deep feud with the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage.
After all, the Five Poison Wanderer’s own son had died at his hands while he was using that identity.
"Daoist Li, the Five Poison Wanderer mobilized all his forces to hunt for you and Jiang Lin. But when he couldn’t find you, he took his n to the Mortal Realm to capture Jiang Yunsheng and use him to force you both out of hiding."
"He knows where Jiang Yunsheng is hiding?"
"No, so he’s still looking..."
For the past few days, the cultivators of the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage have been aggressively swarming into the Mortal Realm, ticulously searching through the various mortal kingdoms.
If they keep searching like this, they are bound to find Jiang Yunsheng eventually.
They made no effort to conceal their movents.
Luo Baitong said, "The Five Poison Wanderer and his many Poison Cultivators are currently in a mortal kingdom called Qingshui Country. Daoist Li, if you want to settle your grudge with them, now’s the ti to go."
"Understood. Thank you for the information, Daoist Luo."
Li Chang’an imdiately transford into a streak of light, left the Black Market, and sped toward Qingshui Country.
Things had co to a head. It was indeed ti for him and the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage to settle things.
The Five Poison Wanderer was quite talented and had already reached Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivation. If he chanced upon an opportunity for Core Formation, there was a real possibility he could beco a Golden Core Poison Cultivator.
That was a possibility Li Chang’an could not allow.
Fortunately, his Ten Thousand Poison Gu had already advanced to Tier Three.
As long as he was careful, dealing with the Five Poison Wanderer would not be a problem.
「About half an hour later.」
Qingshui Country could be seen in the distance.
Even before arriving, Li Chang’an could see a dense, dark green cloud of poison floating above Qingshui Country.
Over a dozen Foundation Establishnt and Fake Foundation Establishnt Cultivators from the Five Poison Lineage were scouring Qingshui Country.
The Five Poison Wanderer himself stood atop the poison cloud, his expression indifferent as he gazed down at the terrified masses of mortals below.
’So many mortals... they would be excellent for breeding Poisonous Insects. A pity the Sect has rules against the wanton slaughter of mortals.’
Even Demonic Sects forbade the mass slaughter of mortals.
After all, given the nature of Demon Cultivators, if there were no restraints, every mortal kingdom would have been wiped out long ago!
Without the mortal kingdoms to supply a new generation of cultivators, the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm would wither.
Li Chang’an entered his Borrowed State, watching the astonishing poison cloud from afar.
’Does this old poison master intend to annihilate Qingshui Country?’
His brow furrowed slightly as he took out the Venerable Soul Banner.
"Evil Soul, deploy the Netherworld Evil Domain and trap that old poison master."
"You got it!"
The Evil Soul responded, ford a hand seal, and pointed toward the Five Poison Wanderer from a distance.
In the next instant, an invisible cage ford, trapping the Five Poison Wanderer and his poison cloud.
The Five Poison Wanderer, still unaware, steered the poison cloud deeper into Qingshui Country.
’Sothing’s wrong!’
A sudden sense of alarm washed over him, and with a flash, he ducked into the poison cloud.
At that very instant, a beam of Cyan Wood Divine Light, condensed from Fake Pill Magical Power, blasted into the cloud.
BOOM!
The entire poison cloud exploded, turning into a vast poison mist, but it remained firmly contained by the Netherworld Evil Domain.
Hiding within, the Five Poison Wanderer spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at Li Chang’an, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Li Fan, you... you’ve already reached Core Formation?"
That single strike had shattered several of his Protective Treasures.
He had painstakingly earned the contribution points to redeem every single one of those Treasures from the Yin Soul Sect.
Each was capable of withstanding a strike from an Early Stage Golden Core cultivator.
Yet Li Chang’an had shattered several of them with a single blow!
"That’s right. I achieved Core Formation not long ago," Li Chang’an said, his tone indifferent, not denying it.
The Five Poison Wanderer roared, "Impossible! How could you have reached Core Formation before ?"
He found it utterly unacceptable. He had beco famous long before Li Chang’an and had beco a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator sooner as well.
But now, he was stuck at Foundation Establishnt Peak, unable to take another step, while this junior, Li Chang’an, had already surpassed him.
A cyan light flashed in Li Chang’an’s hand as another beam of Cyan Wood Divine Light condensed.
"Five Poison, let the decades of enmity between us end today."
