Chapter 652: Chapter 315: In a Single Day, Seas Turn to Mulberry Fields
The inhabitants of the world, most of them return to dust after less than a hundred years, but once they become pigs, they can live longer, enjoy more, and in the end, all they give up is their own flesh and blood... From this perspective, it’s quite a blood profit without a loss.
Therefore, towards the common people, Li An neither feels sympathy nor mocks them.
Every choice is based on interests.
It’s just that when he thinks of those people from the Dao Sect...
Li An can’t help but let out a soft sigh.
Because of his transformation into a Mysterious Creature and the fact that all the major forces are busy gathering the surviving creatures, establishing Immortal Cities to raise pigs, they had no time to bother with him. As a result, he did not encounter much obstruction along the way and traveled smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed, and he finally arrived at the Dao Sect.
On this day, he transformed back from the form of a Mysterious Holy Spirit into the appearance of Gu Fan!
The Main Sect of the Dao Sect surprisingly did not suffer too much destructive blows and still retained its general form. Surrounding the Main Sect for millions of miles, several Immortal Cities were established, and Li An walked up to one of these Immortal Cities.
"Hey, hurry up and come over, get into the city!"
A Gong Clan Abnormal Cultivator spotted him and immediately shouted toward him.
Li An quickly walked over, saluted, and said, "Greetings, my lord, I wish to find Young Master Gong Shanqing, may I know where he is?"
After speaking, he took out a Jade Talisman and said, "This is the token given to me by Young Master Gong Shanqing."
The Abnormal Cultivator was quite surprised at the sight, couldn’t help but take a few glances at Li An.
Gong Shanqing is a direct line from the Yi Clan, and recently gained fame in the clan for great achievements. Therefore, the Abnormal Cultivator didn’t dare to neglect him, and said, "Follow me—"
He then led Li An directly towards the Main Sect of the Dao Sect.
Back at the Main Sect of Dao Sect, with just one glance, Li An saw the once familiar Dao Sect. All the buildings had been destroyed, with ruins everywhere, and dozens of peaks blown flat, blood-stained soil easily visible... all recounting the tragic intensity of the great battle.
"Those ants from the Dao Sect were truly stubborn. We originally intended to persuade them to surrender, they were all premium pigs after all, yet not a single one surrendered. More than a thousand even self-detonated while charging at us... costing our Gong Clan quite a few elites."
The Abnormal Cultivator who brought Li An here grumbled discontentedly, "Luckily, there weren’t many in the Dao Sect. If the pigs from each Immortal City were like them, we’d really have a big problem on our hands."
"Wait here, I’ll report in."
Li An stood among the ruins, waiting. The blood-stained bricks and tiles were like a bloody rain had fallen.
Although he wasn’t directly involved, he could vaguely imagine the intense nature of the great battle that transpired here.
At this moment, a scene suddenly flashed through Li An’s mind. He recalled the sight of his first arrival at the Dao Sect...
Back then, he, along with Tan Qingxue, Xiang Yuntian, and others were here too, anxiously waiting for their unknown fate.
Now, Tan Qingxue, Xiang Yuntian, and others have already escaped the Spirit Realm, while the Dao Sect, which had let him cultivate peacefully for thousands of years, is now completely turned to ash.
He bowed his head, picked up a blood-stained tile, and rubbed it a bit. A thought crossed his mind, but after a brief hesitation, he didn’t keep the tile and tossed it aside.
Just as casually as throwing away a regular tile.
"Are you Gu Fan?"
At this moment, two more Abnormal Cultivators had arrived. These were two youths who looked at Gu Fan with some surprise and said, "Young Master is on Heroic Sword Peak. He wants to see you, come with us."
Li An followed the two, even though he was very familiar with every path within the Dao Sect, he now appeared cautious and awkward.
Not long after, they arrived at Heroic Sword Peak. To his surprise, the grand hall on Heroic Sword Peak hadn’t been destroyed, and Gong Shanqing had taken over and made it his "temporary palace."
Entering the hall, Gong Shanqing sat in the seat once belonging to the Peak Master of Heroic Sword Peak. Seeing Li An’s arrival, he smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "I thought you’d perished during the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth."
Li An saluted and said, "Thanks to Young Master’s blessing, I barely survived, though severely injured... It was only today that I slightly recovered and immediately came to pay respects to Young Master."
Gong Shanqing glanced at him, noting Li An’s body was covered with scars. He smiled and said, "Injuries are a minor issue. Just as well, I have something I want you to do."
In his heart, Li An cursed, this heartless bastard Gong Shanqing, truly unscrupulous, treating him like an ox. He had achieved so much for Gong Shanqing over time, yet even before he healed, Gong Shanqing wanted to assign him more tasks.
"Please, instruct me, Young Master."
"We’ve captured many prisoners from the Dao Sect, but they are very stubborn. Especially that Taiqingzi, he’s a real tough nut... You once infiltrated the Dao Sect, do you have any method to interrogate them?"
Gong Shanqing inquired.
Li An was taken aback upon hearing this.
So Taiqingzi and the others...
Were not dead, but captured?
...
Goodnight.
