Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 908: Chapter 397: Reunion with Xiao Xiao (3)

It was only to cover up Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s assassination!

This time, the Dao Sect was truly too prepared.

Xiang Yuntian disguised as Tai’e Sword Saint to lure her here.

Shangguan Shengxian held the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot lid to participate in the battle.

The formation slammed down.

Equally a Daluo Golden Immortal, Shangguan Xiaoxiao hid within the formation’s assault to assassinate, the Celestial Corpse Small Sword piercing her body...

Moreover, she understood that rescue had not arrived; it was enough to show that the Dao Sect had other arrangements to block her reinforcements.

But who would gamble with the Dao Sect?

It seemed like a losing gamble...

Even if she died, how could the Dao Sect overturn the heavens?

You must know, the true master of the Heavenly Court was not her; she was merely a puppet...

"Yuan Ziyi had someone else, she and her child lived a quiet and happy life."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, staring at Hongbo Fairy, said: "Does it hurt?"

Hongbo Fairy did not speak.

"Not speaking means it hurts a lot... You hurt, and I’m very happy, today is just collecting some interest."

"You should recognize this sword, it’s Li An’s. He’s gone, but his sword will avenge him; you’re just the beginning."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled, showing her glittering little canine teeth.

"Just a dead man... You all will die soon."

Hongbo Fairy spoke her final words, then suddenly closed her eyes, and her entire body exploded into a mist of blood!

It blossomed as if evolving, brilliant yet poignant, startling yet thrilling!

In the original yellow dust, the blood rain continued to fall, but the elegy of heaven did not sound, for the Heavenly Dao and creation here had been shattered, unable to mourn the passing of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Hmm? This isn’t right..."

But suddenly, Shangguan Shengxian said: "Her Blood Soul!"

In the blood mist, a faint blood shadow appeared, quickly moving away, Shangguan Shengxian hurriedly activated the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot lid to stop it, but where the Demonic Qi reached, it surprisingly couldn’t stop that blood shadow!

The blood shadow quickly left!

"After all, she is a Sub-Venerable... Half a foot into Immortal Venerable, we can’t completely kill her!"

Xiang Yuntian frowned deeply.

Shangguan Shengxian immediately put away the pot lid, no longer making futile efforts, then looked at Xiang Yuntian and others, smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you, it was a pleasure cooperating."

"I think you should go to the Heavenly Court? I won’t accompany you for the next part."

She finished speaking, turned directly and left, quickly disappearing!

－－She had already obtained a strand of Longevity White Mist!

This was the price the Dao Sect offered her!

Shangguan Shengxian and Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others were actually the same, after entering Daluo Golden Immortal, they had lost the chance to advance further.

As soon as they became stronger, they would be crushed jointly by Yunluo Immortal Venerable and Evergreen Immortal Venerable.

No matter how fiercely they fought, they wouldn’t allow others to rise and threaten them.

And this time, the Dao Sect wanted to overturn the Heavenly Court, she certainly was happy to participate－－at least it was a chance, a hope.

Moreover, next, the Dao Sect would attract Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s attention, and she would have enough time to digest the origin of that white mist...

"This person must not be allowed to remain, once she grows, she might be more terrifying than Evergreen Immortal Venerable."

Xiang Yuntian regrettably said, actually intending to join hands with Shangguan Xiaoxiao earlier to eliminate Shangguan Shengxian as well.

But Shangguan Shengxian saw the opportunity too quickly, withdrawing immediately after finishing the task.

"It’s irrelevant."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao merely combed her hair, put away the Celestial Corpse Small Sword, and said: "Let her go, we still have matters to attend to."

"As long as we can avenge Li Gou, and defeat Yunluo Immortal Venerable and Evergreen Immortal Venerable, who achieves longevity in the end... is all the same."

She whispered.

"Supreme Shangguan,"

At this moment, An Li saluted Shangguan Xiaoxiao and said: "Hongbo Fairy has been defeated, her residual soul is not a threat, the Heavenly Court is leaderless, you must go to Li Mountain promptly to rescue Purple Fairy."

"She is the disciple of Evergreen Immortal Venerable, we need to install her as the master of the Heavenly Court!"

This was An Li’s next step!

Killing Hongbo was just the first step!

Installing Purple Fairy as the master of the Heavenly Court was the second step.

"After Hongbo Fairy’s death, although Purple Fairy is the sole remaining disciple of Evergreen Immortal Venerable, he may not assent... Have arrangements been made for the Dao Sect’s young generation to be dispersed?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked.

Since the battle four thousand years ago, she had maintained contact with the Dao Sect.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao was Taiqingzi’s direct disciple, and following Taiqingzi’s order, she hid in secrecy, so her position in the Dao Sect was second only to Li An today.

This operation was too risky, the Dao Sect could be utterly destroyed, so leaving some seeds was necessary.

Just as during the chaos in the Spirit Realm, Taiqingzi and others once let Xiang Yuntian and others leave.

"Rest assured, Supreme, everything is ready."

An Li smiled slightly and paused, then said: "Rest assured, Supreme, our Dao Sect is blessed by heaven itself, past generations of Supreme predecessors who have passed will bless our actions this time."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "I’ll head to Li Mountain immediately."

Her figure immediately disappeared, preparing to leave, but suddenly, as she traversed the void, her gaze unexpectedly discovered, amidst the vast yellow dust, seemingly one or two figures moving away...

Are there survivors?

Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s heart moved.

...

"You’re quite something, kid!"

After Shangguan Xiaoxiao left, Xiang Yuntian slapped An Li’s head with a smile and said: "Since when did you learn the Bone Transformation Array? Even I was frightened by you..."

"You’re really quite deceitful!"

An Li seemed about to say something but merely smiled quietly, remaining calm, and said: "Master, didn’t you tell me to learn from Uncle Li An?"

"I naturally need to leave some cards... In the end, there must always be a trump card."

He already confirmed that someone secretly helped the Dao Sect.

The extra dozens of formation flags gathering the Earth Vein Qi of Chen Luo State and more regions couldn’t have been accomplished by his expertise.

Throughout history, there appeared to be only two who could achieve it...

Weren’t those two supposed to have already passed?

His heart at this moment was already stirring waves, countless suspicions wanting to voice, countless excited emotions wanting to vent, even wanting to jump and grab Master Xiang Yuntian’s arm to loudly tell him all this...

But he eventually remained calm!

Not telling anyone, pretending not to know this.

But when he turned around, gazing towards the vast yellow dust, his eyes bore a trembling urge to shed tears!

Could it really be him?

...

The battle was over.

Upon seeing Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Li An knew Hongbo Fairy was bound to die.

An Li’s plan... was indeed meticulous.

Even if Li An arranged this murder, it would be of this level.

Chosen to let An Li inherit the position of Sect Leader was one of the best decisions Li An made in his life.

He was like Xiang Yuntian, full of passion, innocent heart, and spirit of justice, also like Li An, calculating and decisive.

And at this moment, Li An watched as that figure moved away, slowing down.

Li An watched Gu Xuening leaving.

Yes, in this battle, all Taiyi Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals died in the aftermath, only he and Gu Xuening survived.

Actually, although Gu Xuening had some understanding of the Bone Transformation Array, it was still insufficient to find a way out; it was Li An secretly guiding her, giving her a way out.

Saving her... was not purely for saving her.

Firstly, she still possessed Longevity White Mist, a vital pawn in Li An’s observation and exploration of Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s plans, secondly, her survival could help Li An conceal his identity.

Li An still didn’t want to reveal his true self in front of Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

"Hey,"

As Gu Xuening went far, behind Li An, a clear and pure voice sounded.

This voice emerged from the floating dust in the sky, as if traversing infinite chaos, crossing the distance of life and death... finally reaching the other side of the heart.

Li An’s lips showed a rare smile, but that smile quickly faded, he turned around, and saw that long-missed familiar figure.

...

Good night.
