After a fierce battle, Li An finally captured Ying Huaihai and the other two.
Pretending to be gravely injured and on the brink of collapse, he carried Ying Huaihai and the others into a cave. Ying ng’Er, extrely excited, said, "Senior Gu, are you alright?"
She took out many pills from her person and handed them to Li An in a flurry, but they were of low quality and of no use to Li An. So, Li An said, "No need... I must go into seclusion to recuperate; please guard for !"
Then he entered the retreat area.
"Even though Senior Gu is a Demon Cultivator, he... is truly a good person."
Outside the retreat area, Ying ng’Er murmured.
Facing three opponents, he fought with all his strength... just to protect her.
Her heart was filled with boundless gratitude.
...
In reality, Li An wasn’t injured at all.
It was all an act.
He initially planned to collaborate with Ying Huaihai to sell out Ying ng’Er.
But unexpectedly, Ying Huaihai harbored ill intentions and tried to make a move against him... Thus, Li An was forced to change his plans.
Since enmity with Ying Huaihai was inevitable, it was better to truly support Ying ng’Er!
Therefore, saving Ying ng’Er in battle beca a ploy to win her loyalty, and going into seclusion... was a test.
Appearing frail and near death, if Ying ng’Er showed any signs of betrayal, he would kill her too!
Li An secluded himself for three months, often letting Ying ng’Er see him on the brink of death, but to his satisfaction, Ying ng’Er did nothing untoward and instead carefully tended to him.
"Thank you, Miss Ying, for your care—"
One day, Li An finally erged from seclusion.
Ying ng’Er said, "Senior Gu’s grace and favor to ng’Er are imnse, this is simply what ng’Er ought to do."
Li An sighed with emotion, "Miss Ying is kind-hearted and virtuous... truly moving for this old man. I would like to take you as my disciple; I wonder if you would be willing to accept as your teacher?"
Upon hearing this, Ying ng’Er was overjoyed beyond asure, excitedly kneeling, "ng’Er pays respects to Master!"
Li An smiled slightly, helped her up, and took out a scroll of scripture, saying, "I have nothing else; this Demon Scripture is for you."
Ying ng’Er expressed her gratitude profusely.
"You should know that you are my third disciple. Above you are a senior sister and a senior brother... Hmm, I’ll give you a Taoist na, Immortal Illusionist, how about it?"
Immortal Illusionist!
"Immortal Illusionist thanks Master for the na!" Ying ng’Er naturally had no objections.
Li An said, "Cultivate well, and once you reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, we shall go to Yingyuan Island and help you reclaim it!"
A gleam of excitent and hope appeared in Ying ng’Er’s eyes, and she imdiately began her seclusion.
anwhile, Li An released Ying Huaihai and the others.
Ying Huaihai’s face was grim, barely clinging to life, and he said, "Friend, this is a misunderstanding, we co from Yingyuan Island. If you release us, we can offer you great benefits..."
"Actually, there is sothing I need to borrow from you." Li An smiled.
"What might that be?"
"You!"
Li An acted directly, activating the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill to refine Ying Huaihai.
After absorbing the strange qi from an Exotic Spirit’s corpse, Li An’s demon skills greatly advanced, and in no ti, Ying Huaihai’s eyes turned blank, becoming a puppet.
Li An did not seize his divine soul or body, as he still had use for him.
"Damn scoundrel dared to deceive !"
After reading Ying Huaihai’s mories, Li An was sowhat enraged.
There were no traces of Anomalous Qi on Yingyuan Island!
Ying Huaihai only knew a few things about Anomalous Qi traces, so he made them up to tempt Li An. From the beginning, he just wanted to stabilize Li An and then kill him to take his Demon Skill!
Just that.
"Despicable dog,"
Li An cursed, but to be fair, this person’s mories contained so useful information: that the current Island Master of Yingyuan Island, Ying Tianlong, seed to be in contact with a major power in the depths of the Southern Sea, which indeed was plotting sothing concerning the Anomalous Qi traces...
Li An then refined the remaining two.
About half a year passed, and Ying ng’Er successfully reached the Divinity Transformation Realm.
"Thank you, Master, I have broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm!"
Ying ng’Er was imnsely excited.
"Good, we should now head to Yingyuan Island."
Li An spoke, and they set off imdiately.
Initially arriving at the border between the Taiqing Realm and the Southern Sea, with an endless expanse of coastline, in front lay a vast blue sea. However, due to the celestial breeze of the Southern Sea, the seawater appeared sowhat dark. The two flew across the sky, and before long, they saw islands scattered like stars across the sea.
As they neared Yingyuan Island, Li An led Ying ng’Er to stealthily approach.
According to Ying Huaihai’s mories, Ying Tianlong had not yet reached full completion but was at the peak of Refining Void, so Li An dared to co, but he did not act rashly, instead hiding on a rocky outcrop outside Yingyuan Island.
He planned to observe for a while to find an opportune mont.
Approximately half a year later, a few low-level disciples went out fishing, and only then did Li An make his move, killing them all and, alongside Ying ng’Er, disguised themselves and fled back to Yingyuan Island in a disheveled state.
"Sothing terrible, sothing terrible has happened... sothing strange, sothing strange!"
The person Li An disguised himself as was a young disciple nad Ying Lin. Seeing him call out in this manner, the people at the port were all shocked. The elder responsible for defense, Ying Huaichen, appeared and said, "Ying Lin, what on earth is going on? What strangeness?"
Li An, trembling, took out so bone powder, saying, "Sothing strange!"
Ying Huaichen was taken aback, his face losing color, "Co with quickly to see the Island Master—"
Imdiately, Li An and Ying ng’Er were taken by him to fly to the island, and upon receiving Ying Huaichen’s ssage, the Island Master and many elders were already gathered in the main hall, waiting.
