Chapter 608: Chapter 304: Kill the Wife_4
At the same time.
"What happened on Nanfu Island?"
"What’s going on... How could there be an earthquake all of a sudden?"
On the New Continent, numerous major forces like the Five Elements Sect, Sun and Moon Sect, and Brahma Sect, along with stationed immortals and experts, all set into motion and appeared outside Nanfu Island in a single thought.
Seeing the condition of Nanfu Island and the entire bay, everyone was utterly shocked!
"This... what happened?"
"Two immortals are dead, the entire bay leveled... even an Immortal Level strike shouldn’t have such an impact, right?"
"Could it be... a True Immortal? Yun Qian? But according to reports, hasn’t she entered the Exotic Realm and can’t return..."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Their Divine Sense swept through all directions, scanning every corner countless times, yet they couldn’t find any traces at all.
There weren’t even any signs of an attack.
This was a complete annihilation.
"Even if a True Immortal made a move, there should be traces to investigate..."
"Could it be an existence from the Exotic Realm?"
"In this world, there shouldn’t be such a master... The one who did it must not be a creature of the Spirit Realm!"
After careful examination, the immortals and experts from various major forces even excluded True Immortal Yun Qian, coming to a terrifying conclusion!
This matter quickly spread among the high levels of various major forces and became an unsolved case.
Ultimately, a rumor formed in the Spirit Realm: Nanfu Island was established by the Dao Sect, gathering mysterious energy to train disciples, and even imprisoned some mysterious creatures, which is why a peerless existence from the Exotic Realm hated it and wiped it out.
As for the Dao Sect, on a Dao ship rendered immobile after being attacked, many disciples were incredibly thankful; had they gone to Nanfu Island as scheduled, they might have perished with it...
...
Meanwhile, Li An had entered the sea.
When the immortals of the New Continent rushed nearby and scanned everywhere with their Divine Sense, he was actually still within their sweep range.
Yet, when their powerful Divine Sense at Immortal Level fell upon him, he felt as if the Divine Sense was like a mist that couldn’t affect him at all.
Holding the tea kettle lid can conceal oneself from the perception of immortals!
Li An felt relieved and then found a hidden spot among the reefs to conceal himself.
Ignoring the external storm, Li An took out the tea kettle lid, utterly enamored by it.
A fine object, truly a fine object indeed.
Unremarkable in appearance, cold to the touch, and able to block perception—thrown into the sea, no one would ever recognize it as a treasure...
Yet its power was so immense that it could kill an immortal with ease!
If fully controlled and activated, what kind of cataclysmic spectacle would that be?
The more he caressed it, the more exhilarated Li An became, fixating intently on the lid with eyes full of heat, cradling it with infatuation...
Suddenly, his Life Seed shuddered slightly, a cold and chilling breath swept through his body, startling Li An awake, and he hastily flung the tea kettle lid several meters away!
He felt a wave of terror in his heart; he had almost lost himself to the lid’s allure!
"My exotic power has been siphoned away by half?!"
Li An was flabbergasted.
Even his exotic power was being drained away...
If not for the Life Seed’s sensory warning, he might have been entrapped until he was reduced to a mere shell by the lid.
"No wonder, Lady Yi previously warned that this item should be allowed to cool for several months after activation before taking it away..."
Li An recalled the moment he obtained the item from Lady Yi.
At the time, Lady Yi mentioned that once activated, its power is too great for Li An’s current low cultivation to handle, and approaching it rashly could prove dangerous.
The reason Li An disregarded her advice this time was primarily because his orthodox Immortal Dao cultivation had reached the Mahayana level, far surpassing before, with the added protection of the Dao Power of Time; besides, staying dormant meant several more months on Nanfu Island, exposing him to potential danger from constant scrutiny by many immortals.
Reflecting now, Lady Yi’s warning might have been partly out of consideration for his cultivation, but more likely due to knowing the item’s malevolent nature, yet choosing not to disclose this to Li An, thus covering it up with an excuse.
She wouldn’t have anticipated Li An’s rapid cultivation progress, still leading him to encounter this forbidden matter!
"It’s not just exotic cultivation; this item likely attempts to drain my Life Origin, which is why it alarmed the Life Seed..."
Li An felt lingering fear!
He also recalled that when the Spiritual Parrot plotted the Mysterious Dao Mark on Giant Tomb Island, many laborers were caught and brought to the island for pit excavation, but Li An had observed how the island seemed to stealthily consume these workers’ Life Origin, causing many to perish prematurely.
Now Li An realized it might have been due to the presence of this item on Giant Tomb Island, giving the island such sinister characteristics!
This is a treasure, but also full of malevolence; controlling it might be incredibly difficult.
Yet Li An did not abandon his greed for this item; he planned to find out more about it after killing Lady Yi and then decide what to do.
He decided to wait here.
Meanwhile, he actively prepared to eliminate Lady Yi.
He repeatedly rehearsed what Lady Yi might ask him upon meeting, how to guide her into step-by-step flesh and blood reconstruction, and when to make a move...
Six months passed in the blink of an eye.
With the malevolent lid finally showing no more activity, Li An felt assured in holding it and then headed towards Giant Tomb Island --
On this journey, he sought nothing else but to successfully murder his wife!
...
Good night.
