Chapter 736: Chapter 339: A Personal Investigation
Li An felt slightly disappointed in his heart, but upon second thought, he said, "Xu Yuan, junior brother, if I am not mistaken, in order to coordinate your journey to Broken Dawn Mountain, there must be other actions within the palace!"
"I participate in other actions, that’s always possible, right?"
Xu Yuan’s eyes could not help but show surprise. Regarding other actions, he didn’t mention a word, yet Li An was able to guess?
This brother Gu is truly a remarkable person, his intellect almost magical!
Unfortunately, destiny is unkind to him. When the current troubles are resolved, he will surely rise to the heights of greatness someday.
"Indeed... the palace will send people elsewhere to distract Purple Cloud Mountain’s attention."
Xu Yuan did not hide it any longer and said, "But brother Gu, your health is poor now, it’s really not suitable for you to act..."
Li An said calmly, "Xu brother is willing to risk life and death for me, how could I stand idly by?"
"Xu brother, should anything happen to you on this trip, while I sit idly in the Fire Phoenix Nest... then I’d rather die now!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s heart became warm, and he said, "Brother Gu... I agree with you!"
"In this life, having a friend like brother Gu, Xu Yuan, has no regrets!"
He held Li An’s hand, his eyes full of sincere expressions of camaraderie!
Li An just smiled faintly, saying nothing.
...
Xu Yuan did indeed find Xu City, and mentioned letting Li An join the operation, Xu City agreed.
"Your task is to attack the Gong Clan!"
That day, Li An and a group of people from the Xu Clan all gathered in Huangqing Hall, where Xu City carefully laid out the action plan.
As Li An had thought, the plan of the Fire Phoenix Nest was simple, a strategy to draw attention away from Purple Cloud Mountain. Besides the Xu Clan, the Chen Clan, Mu Clan, etc. also had other tasks, disturbing other regions of Purple Cloud Province.
"Xu Li, you will be in charge of this operation!"
Xu City spoke to a middle-aged cultivator among them; this cultivator was at the Profound Immortal level.
"Understood!"
...
The Fire Phoenix Nest soon took action, that day, Li An followed Xu Li out from the Fire Phoenix Nest, quickly passing through the barrier and appearing in a forest in Purple Cloud Province.
"Gu Fan, you are quite familiar with the Gong Clan, what’s the situation over there?"
Xu Li asked Li An.
Li An said, "To report to the lord, the Gong Clan was once exploited by Leng Rufeng, who set up the Demon Summoning Array there. After a great battle, their primordial qi was seriously injured, and now the main forces are defending the ancestral land, so we should avoid their sharp edge and can freely traverse other areas, but outside the ancestral land, the Gong Clan’s most precious place is Spirit Immortal Valley..."
Xu Li nodded: "Then we shall go to Spirit Immortal Valley!"
They set off towards the Gong Clan location and by the next day, were already lurking outside Spirit Immortal Valley, Li An requested Xu Li’s permission to take the lead and initiate the assault, Xu Li naturally agreed.
"Attack!"
At the command, ambushers sprang forth, various spell lights fell down, the Gong Clan’s Immortal Dao array instantly lit up, Immortal Light filled the sky, blocking Li An and the others.
"Break!"
Xu Li responded, a Son-Mother Divine Thunder Gun appeared in his hand, this gun was a Celestial Immortal level treasure, at this moment a thunder shot down, the Immortal Dao array was blasted open at one corner, Li An did not wait, being the first to rush in.
"Good!"
Xu Li could not help but exclaim with praise, Li An, though an Abnormal Cultivator by origin, is truly brave and fearless. With a wave, other followers also directly pursued, within Spirit Immortal Valley, a fierce battle erupted.
"How daring!"
But at this moment, within Spirit Immortal Valley, a terrifying immortal Dao aura burst forth, countless gray breaths condensed into a giant claw in the sky, reaching towards Xu Li.
"Celestial Immortal!"
Xu Li’s face changed drastically, the Son-Mother Divine Thunder Gun fired again, but this local Celestial Immortal was of no shallow cultivation, his thunder gun only made that giant claw slightly shake, instantly exploding, Xu Li was shocked, exerting all his strength to respond...
...
Shortly after.
Li An escaped from Spirit Immortal Valley.
Most people of the Fire Phoenix Nest were killed, but he was unharmed, because during the chaos, no one paid attention to his strange cultivator identity, combined with his familiarity with Gong Clan’s situation, it was naturally easy for him to escape.
He headed straight for Purple Cloud Mountain, now feeling a sense of freedom and relaxation like a dragon stuck in a shallow stream, and a fish entering a vast ocean. This trip to the Fire Phoenix Nest, although breaking through to Immortal Cultivation Level, was truly thrilling, fraught with perils at every turn!
Within the Immortal Rejuvenators, crisis also looms heavily.
He had left Purple Cloud Mountain some time ago, upon returning now, he didn’t go back right away, but spent half a month lurking on the outskirts, catching a disciple to learn the internal situation of the mountain, finding no anomalies, then quietly sneaking to the rear mountain of Purple Cloud Mountain.
The rear mountain was still peaceful, hidden underground, he secretly sensed the puppet Gongshan Xiu’s state, everything was normal, only then did he cautiously return, entering the coffin, taking its place.
－－Thanks to Li An’s frequent "closed-door cultivation" visits here in the past at Purple Cloud Mountain, no one disturbed him.
He stayed in this cemetery for several days before breaking out:
"Lord Chong Guang’s recent retreat is quite long, I wonder if there are any gains?"
As soon as he left, returning to the foot of Purple Cloud Peak, the mountain lord Ziyun Immortal had already appeared, smiling faintly.
Li An said: "It’s not bad, please have the mountain lord later fetch some upper-grade Anomaly Crystal, placed at my birth site, for I might retreat for a period of time."
"This body’s cultivation is quite weak."
Ziyun Master laughed, "Alright."
"By the way,"
Li An continued, "Regarding your information on Immortal Rejuvenators, could you report to me one by one?"
"I am quite curious about the so-called Heavenly Realm era, what the world calls the orthodox immortal path seems to have some meaning."
