Chapter 155 Blocking the Source and Killing indiscriminately
"what?"
"Isn't the Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix the backer of the Li family? How did he become Li Lan's protector?"
"How is this going?"
Everyone was shocked and puzzled.
The Tengshe Water-Taking Formation must have been set up by the Great Sage Mingfeng, which is why the Li family was able to do so. Moreover, judging from the Li family's attitude, they clearly regard the Great Sage Mingfeng as their biggest backer.
But now, has their backer turned against them?
"Great Sage...you..."
Li Cangwu was speechless, while Li Qiankun frowned deeply and asked, "Great Sage, what...does this mean?"
"I said I would help the Li family, but I didn't say it had to be this particular Li family, did I?"
The Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix smiled and said, "The Li family of Qianchuan is also a Li family!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression became complicated, while the Sword Saint of the Ocean sighed, "How could a mere Li family member be favored by a Great Saint of the Phoenix Clan? Fellow Daoist Qiankun, don't you understand?"
“The Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix values the karma and destiny of the Li family, but this destiny has fallen on young friend Li Lan. It’s a pity that you have forced him to this point, leaving no room for change!”
"With Li Lan, the Li family has a powerful backer; without Li Lan, you are nothing!"
His words were extremely straightforward.
All the members of the Li clan looked ashen-faced at this moment!
"Our Li family's biggest backer is not the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix at all, but Li Lan!"
"If Li Lan were in the Li family, the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix would be helping the Li family. She cares about Li Lan, not the Li family at all!"
"The rise and fall of the Li family rests on this boy!"
Everyone was filled with extreme regret!
"Damn it, this Li Daoling really deserves to die."
"Li Xue'er and her ilk, for their own selfish reasons, have destroyed their entire family!"
They couldn't help but speak out in anger.
Even Li Cangwu was speechless at this moment. His mouth was dry and a nameless fear spread throughout his body!
"My Li family deserves this calamity..."
Li Qiankun's murderous intent and rage vanished completely, leaving only a bitter smile on his face as he said, "Great Sage Nether Phoenix, are you going to kill us?"
He could never be a match for the Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix.
But the Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix turned to look at Li Lan, seeking his opinion.
Li Lan, however, was completely bewildered.
He knew someone was following him, but he didn't know who that person was.
Now, the mighty Great Sage has suddenly jumped out and claimed to be his protector...
Have you asked for your own opinion?
However, as soon as the Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix appeared, he instantly remembered that this woman was one of the two people the cat was looking for.
"No need."
Li Lan shook his head. Although he had a grudge against the Li family, he did not want to use others to help him.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Li family felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason.
Li Lan's words can now truly determine the life or death of all of them.
"Let's go, let's go quickly!"
There's no point in staying here!
"withdraw!"
They all left, and even Li Qiankun sighed deeply, his face filled with regret, before turning away.
But at that moment, Li Lan moved the Heavenly King Pagoda in his hand and directly suppressed Li Xue'er of the Li family.
"No!"
Li Xue'er turned pale, but she was powerless to resist and was imprisoned in the Heavenly King Tower by Li Lan in the blink of an eye.
"The feud between us from the past can be set aside, but those who anger my people must be killed!"
Li Lan spoke indifferently and activated the Heavenly King Tower. Instantly, Li Xue'er screamed in agony inside the tower and was directly refined into a puddle of pus.
"Those who dare to offend my Yuan clan will suffer the consequences!"
Li Lan glanced coldly at the Li clan members.
The Li clansmen were all terrified. Li Qiankun's eye twitched, but he said nothing and turned to leave.
"Congratulations, young friend Li Lan, on achieving the Three Flowers True Immortal status!"
Congratulations to the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan!
"From this day forward, there is hope for the northern frontier!"
As soon as the Li clan members left, people from other major forces came forward to congratulate them with great enthusiasm, and even presented them with many lavish gifts on the spot.
As everyone knows, the Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan is destined to rise from this day forward!
With a prodigy like Li Lan and a figure like the Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix overseeing things, the future is unimaginable.
It can directly rival, or even surpass, many of the super powers in the Northern Frontier!
The Yuan Clan members, who had been trapped in the cage, were now extremely excited!
"National Division!"
"It's actually the Imperial Advisor!"
"The Imperial Advisor is alive! That's wonderful, wonderful!"
They will never forget that when the Abyss Realm fell and the world was in chaos, there was one person who stepped forward and ventured alone into the gray fog!
That figure, who willingly faced death, has long been the deepest imprint in the hearts of everyone in the Abyss Realm, and also the totem of the entire Abyss Clan.
Even after Li Lan founded the Yuan Clan under the identity of Tang Jian, the people of the Yuan Clan took the initiative to propose that Li Lan be honored as the first ancestor of the Yuan Clan!
Only now do they realize that the clan leader Tang Jian is none other than the first ancestor Li Lan.
"The Imperial Advisor, it really is the Imperial Advisor!"
At this moment, Liu Ziwen's eyes filled with tears!
Back in the Great Li Dynasty, he had followed Li Yue and witnessed Li Lan's brilliant strategy in the court. Later, when Li Lan disappeared into the gray fog, he became a towering mountain in his heart!
Today, the mountains have reappeared!
Li Lan is not dead!
Moreover, he brought unparalleled glory and hope to everyone in the Yuan Clan!
Since their founding, the Yuan Clan has suffered too much hardship and been enslaved. But from now on, even the most illustrious forces in the Immortal Realm will not dare to look down on them.
"I understand... Tang Jian has already died in battle at the border. The Grand Preceptor has returned and, in Tang Jian's name, will revitalize the Yuan Clan!"
Liu Ziwen was also a man of exceptional talent and intelligence, and he instantly understood the key to it.
Tang Jian came to the Immortal Realm with them, but he had always performed poorly until one time outside the Demon Suppression Pass, when he was targeted by Qin Hongyun, the daughter of the Qin Clan, who forced them to fight a bloody battle against the alien corpses. It was in that battle that he suddenly rose to prominence!
From then on, he passed the Bloodline Immortal Barrier, founded the Abyss Clan, and obtained the land of a thousand rivers!
Li Lan must have returned from that time.
"Liu Ziwen pays respects to the First Ancestor!"
Liu Ziwen suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply to Li Lan!
"Greetings to the First Ancestor!"
"Greetings to the First Ancestor!"
Everyone from the Yuan clan performed a grand salute!
Li Lan moved swiftly, releasing all the Yuan Clan members from their cages. Looking at Liu Ziwen and the others, he said with immense satisfaction, "You did a great job."
He also worried that the Yuan Clan might choose to die rather than submit, which would truly make their deaths meaningless.
But now it seems that Liu Ziwen and others have led the Yuan Clan very well.
"Tonight, let us celebrate together our Yuan clan!"
Li Lan spoke.
"Congratulations to my Yuan clan!"
"Congratulations to my Yuan clan!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
Immediately, a banquet was set up in the land of a thousand rivers to entertain guests from various forces, and the scene was bustling with activity.
After exchanging greetings with everyone, Li Lan instructed Liu Ziwen to handle the reception before entering a stone chamber.
"This place is not bad. It is very good as the Dao realm where you attain enlightenment."
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix smiled slightly and said, "You are wary of me."
Li Lan frankly admitted, "I wonder what it is about me that would make the Great Sage favor me?"
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
She had been lying low in the Li family for many years, making many plans, but now she just gave up like that, which shows that her ambitions for Li Lan were definitely not small.
"How about we make a deal?"
The Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix picked up a cup of spiritual wine, took a sip calmly, her red lips were bright, and her black skirt flowed like flames. She smiled and said, "I will protect you for three years. You do something for me."
"what's up?"
"My Phoenix clan once charged towards the source, but only I survived."
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix said calmly, "They are all dead. You need to go and bring out their remains."
Li Lan's heart skipped a beat, "Just like that?"
The Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix raised a brow with her beautiful eyes. "You think this is so simple?"
"Indeed, you must have had some extraordinary opportunities to return from the gray fog."
She said, "Originally, I was going to train Li Hao. As long as he successfully awakened the blood of the true dragon, he could take the path of alienation, enter the world like an alien spirit, and find an opportunity to steal the remains of my people. But he is too weak."
"You are strong enough, so whether you are willing to take the path of alienation or not is irrelevant, as long as you can help me do it."
Li Lan said, "Did you sacrifice so much just for the remains of your clansmen?"
The Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix smiled and said, "As expected of someone who was once the Imperial Preceptor, it seems difficult to hold back when communicating with you. Alright, I can tell you that when my people rushed to the source, not only were they killed, but the laws of our clan were also destroyed."
"I am trapped in the Great Sage realm and cannot take a single step out. Therefore, I must find those bones. I want to see how they died and whether there are any remnants of their magic."
She drank the wine in one gulp.
Li Lan was astonished. How powerful was the Phoenix Clan? They were on par with the True Dragons, renowned among the forbidden beings of the Primordial Era, and hailed as the most powerful beings in the world. Yet, they all perished at the Source, and even the clan's laws and paths were severed.
Just how terrifying is that so-called source?
"Even the Phoenix Clan has been wiped out, so who else can be a match for the Gray Mist?"
Li Lan couldn't help but whisper.
"Of course."
The Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix said, "Those who can defeat the source are only one person, one cat, and one dog."
Her words were leisurely, seemingly tinged with reminiscence. Upon hearing this, Li Lan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What does this mean?"
"There was once a person who, with a cat and a dog, ventured alone to the source and suppressed it for hundreds of thousands of years. Otherwise, what immortal realm or living beings would there be in this world?"
She sighed deeply and said, "Unfortunately, countless years have passed, the source has changed again, that person has disappeared without a trace, and the cat is gone too. I heard from my ancestors that only the dog is left... but that dog has been corrupted by the gray mist and has become a gray mist creature, even called the Gray Emperor by thousands of gray mist creatures."
“My ancestors guessed that the man and the cat were ultimately no match for the strange creature and died, while the dog had surrendered to the gray mist.”
Li Lan was quite shocked. Could the cat that the Great Sage Mingfeng mentioned be the one that is now living in seclusion in the Thousand Rivers Land?
Besides Cat Sister, who else is there?
And that dog... must be the one that scared away the entire True Dragon Clan by leaving just a single hair in the Ten Thousand Yuan Mountains!
What about that person?
Are cats and dogs that person's pets?
How terrifying must this person be?
……
"Okay, I promise you."
Li Lan spoke.
Now that his true identity has been exposed, he will definitely face a lot of trouble, after all, he has come into contact with the Mingzun Demon Soul!
It's even hard to predict whether the Celestial Court will take any action.
With the Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix present, it is enough to intimidate them.
After all, although cats are powerful, they often seem unwilling to get too involved in cause and effect.
Li Lan didn't want to expose the cat, her biggest trump card.
The Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix smiled, "Alright, from today onwards, I will be your protector. However, I suggest you quickly take your people and leave the Northern Frontier."
"Because the gray fog is coming."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan's expression changed.
He has been busy undergoing his tribulation and is unaware of the situation at the border.
"Young friend Li Lan,"
At that moment, the voice of the Sword Saint of the Ocean came from outside, "Would you mind having a chat?"
Li Lan bid farewell to the Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix and walked out.
"The border has fallen; it is time for this old man to go there."
The Sword Saint of the Seas cut to the chase, sighing, "The sect has sent word that Brother Dugu Jian is trapped in the gray fog, his fate unknown. The gray fog will soon engulf the entire Northern Frontier. Young friend, your talent is extraordinary; you should not linger here. Please leave immediately—"
Li Lan was deeply shocked.
Was the border ultimately breached?
Even Dugu Yibai's fate is unknown.
"Thank you, senior!"
Li Lan bowed, his heart heavy.
"besides……"
The Sword Saint of the Seas added a word of caution: "The Great Saint of the Dark Phoenix must have some ulterior motive, young friend, be careful."
After saying that, he vanished from the spot.
After he left, the Sun Moon Sect and other forces also came to say goodbye.
News of the fall of the border has spread far and wide!
Everyone was gripped by panic!
"Chieftain, what should we do?"
Liu Ziwen and the others also looked at Li Lan.
Li Lan said, word by word, "No retreat, hold the line to the death!"
The Yuan Clan members all stiffened, but none of them showed any fear; they all nodded!
"Please, Great Sage, take charge of the Yuan Clan."
Li Lan turned around and said to the Great Sage of the Dark Phoenix, "I need to go to the Gray Mist soon."
The Great Sage of the Nether Phoenix smiled and said, "Alright."
She turned and disappeared, going into seclusion on a mountain peak in the land of a thousand rivers.
Li Lan, on the other hand, calmly walked to Sister Cat's secluded residence.
He wasn't afraid of being discovered by the Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix because he had confidence in Sister Cat.
If Sister Cat doesn't want the Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix to discover her, then even if the Great Sage of the Underworld Phoenix stares with his eyes wide open, he still won't be able to find Sister Cat's presence!
Sure enough, amidst the dazzling light and the interplay of reality and illusion, Li Lan had already arrived directly at the cave where the cat was hiding.
