Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 313

Chapter 313 Killing Liu Feiyan and Looting Mandarin Duck Valley (Seeking Subscriptions)

Liu Feiyan’s killing intent towards Li Chang’an never diminished.

So many years had passed.

At every internal meeting of Yuanyang Valley, she would emphasize dealing with Li Chang’an.

Even at the crucial moment of the war between the two sects, she would mention it.

To end the war between the two sects as quickly as possible, thus concentrating their forces on dealing with Li Chang’an, she was even willing to force Yuanyang Valley to compromise with the Hundred Beasts Sect, sacrificing some of its interests.

“What do you all think of this peace treaty?”

Liu Feiyan drafted the treaty and used her magic to send it to the center of the secret chamber. Golden light flashed on the treaty, and characters appeared one by one.

Soon, the other Golden Core cultivators of Yuanyang Valley in the secret chamber spoke up, offering their opinions.

These dozen or so Golden Core cultivators seemed to have different ideas, but in reality, they were all under Li Chang’an’s control.

Li Chang’an kept offering opinions,

stalling for time.

Unbeknownst to them, it was already midnight.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Auspicious]

[You lured Liu Feiyan out of Mandarin Duck Valley, successfully killed her, and obtained the key to the Ancient Wood Cave.]

“Auspicious divination, it seems secure.”

Li Chang’an looked at the divination results and immediately felt relieved.

His years of planning had not been in vain.

A moment later,

the numerous puppets he controlled all agreed to the spiritual contract.

The discussion ended there.

He controlled Fan Wenlong to suggest, “Fellow Daoist Liu, although we are willing to negotiate peace, we are afraid that the Hundred Beasts Sect may have a trap. Why don’t we go to the negotiation site first and set up some measures?”

“Good, that’s exactly what I was thinking!”

Liu Feiyan immediately agreed and put away the peace negotiation spiritual contract.

About a quarter of an hour later,

she and more than ten Golden Core cultivators from Mandarin Duck Valley quietly left Mandarin Duck Valley and headed to the negotiation site between the two sects.

Only three Golden Core cultivators and two demon kings remained in Mandarin Duck Valley.

“I’ve already contacted the Elder of the Hundred Beasts Sect, and they’re unwilling to fight again. This peace talk should go smoothly.”

Halfway through the journey, Liu Feiyan mentioned some points to note regarding the negotiations.

As she spoke, she glanced towards the Southern Region.

“The disciples of Huangsha refuse to work for me. Since that’s the case, I’ll unite the entire Western Region’s forces and completely invade the heart of the Southern Region, forcibly breaking through Li Chang’an’s Changqing Mountain. I don’t believe he can…”

Before she could finish speaking, an unexpected attack occurred!

The dozen or so Golden Core cultivators beside her suddenly attacked simultaneously.

In an instant,

countless astonishing killing intents converged into a vast net, making her the prey within it.

Li Chang’an had planned this operation for many years, making far more thorough preparations than when dealing with Shi Hu Zhenren last time.

At this moment, the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators he controlled all swallowed pills that squeezed out their potential and frantically burned their lifespans, unleashing their strongest attacks with all their might.

“Boom!”

More than ten terrifying attacks instantly slammed into Liu Feiyan.

Before she could react, even while still contemplating how to deal with Li Chang’an, her body was enveloped by terrifying magical artifacts and power.

In an instant, her limbs exploded into clouds of blood mist.

However, her chest only caved in, and her head remained intact, protected by a radiant treasure.

“It actually withstood it.”

This result slightly exceeded Li Chang’an’s expectations.

It should be noted that among the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators who launched the sneak attack, two had the same cultivation level as Liu Feiyan, also late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

A sneak attack from these two, burning their lifespan and squeezing out their potential, would be unbearable for an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Li Chang’an immediately ordered the Fiend Soul, “Netherworld Fiend Domain!”

“It’s locked, don’t worry, old man, this old woman can’t escape!”

The Fiend Soul, hidden in the shadows, did its best to maintain the existence of the Netherworld Fiend Domain, trapping Liu Feiyan and rendering her unable to move.

Only then

did Liu Feiyan react.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she cried out in shock, “You all betrayed Mandarin Duck Valley! Have you secretly colluded with the Hundred Beasts Sect? Or have you defected to the Southern Region?”

Li Chang’an didn’t answer, but instead manipulated more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators, relentlessly squeezing out all their potential and lifespan, and attacked again.

Boom!

Another earth-shattering blow.

After this attack, Liu Feiyan was still alive, but the treasure protecting her head had dimmed considerably.

She was tightly bound and unable to use any other treasures, forced to passively endure the beating.

It seemed that one more blow would completely kill her.

“Yellow Sand, save me!”

Liu Feiyan coughed up blood, her face deathly pale, and cried out hoarsely.

The next instant.

The pendant hanging around her neck suddenly glowed.

With a crack, the pendant shattered, and a puppet with an astonishing aura flew out.

“Who dares to lay a hand on my Daoist companion?”

The puppet suddenly grew larger, its magical power surging, its aura terrifying. With a single punch, it shattered the Netherworld Domain that had trapped Liu Feiyan.

Its strength had already surpassed the limit of the Golden Core stage, but it hadn’t yet reached the fourth rank.

Li Chang’an’s expression turned solemn as he made his judgment.

“A near-fourth-rank puppet!”

Zi Xi also possessed a puppet of this rank.

However, Zi Xi’s was a pure puppet, which could only be controlled by herself.

But within this puppet, extremely terrifying fluctuations of divine sense appeared.

Nascent Soul divine sense!

Moreover, it wasn’t just a wisp of divine sense.

This divine sense was quite powerful; although it didn’t reach the fourth rank, it far surpassed that of a peak Golden Core cultivator.

“True Monarch Huangsha actually severed a portion of his Nascent Soul divine sense and hid it within this puppet to protect Liu Feiyan.”

True Monarch Huangsha had done everything he could for his Daoist companion, Liu Feiyan.

Not only did they arrange a small fourth-order formation for her in Mandarin Duck Valley, but they also used a near-fourth-order puppet to protect her.

The quasi-fourth-tier puppet controlled by him, a Nascent

Soul True Monarch, could unleash its power to the fullest, far surpassing Zi Xi’s quasi-fourth-tier puppet. “I am Huangsha True Monarch of the Huangsha Sect. Who are you?”

Huangsha True Monarch coldly demanded, already seeing the problem.

Even if these dozen or so Golden Core True Persons had truly betrayed Yuanyang Valley, they wouldn’t be so frantically squeezing out potential and lifespan. Did they all not want to live?

Clearly, they had all been controlled by outsiders.

Li Chang’an remained silent.

With a thought, he decisively ordered Fan Wenlong to pounce.

“Boom!”

Fan Wenlong self-destructed on the spot, his Golden Core, accumulated over hundreds of years, exploding into a final, fatal blow!

Golden Core self-destruction was the most powerful technique of a Golden Core True Person.

Years ago, deep within the Black Dragon Mountains, the Mu family’s Golden Core Ancestor, driven to desperation, used Golden Core self-destruction to take away a demon king whose physique was comparable to a third-tier Body Refinement cultivator.

However,

before Huangsha True Monarch, Fan Wenlong’s self-destruction was nothing.

With a wave of his hand, he condensed his magical power, forcefully blocking the powerful self-destruction.

…

At the same time.

In the Central Region, within the Yellow Sand Sect.

An astonishing Nascent Soul aura soared into

the sky. The true form of True Monarch Yellow Sand, filled with murderous intent and terrifying aura, transformed into a stream of light and charged towards the Western Region, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

“What happened? Why

is True Monarch so angry?” “I’m afraid someone has offended True Monarch.”

Within the Yellow Sand Sect, countless disciples looked up, all feeling the earth-shattering rage.

It seemed that someone else was about to die at the hands of True Monarch Yellow Sand.

…

At this moment, in the Western Region.

Li Chang’an’s thoughts stirred, and the remaining dozen or so Golden Core cultivators rushed forward simultaneously.

The next instant.

A deafening roar resounded throughout the entire Western Region.

“Boom!”

More than a dozen Golden Core cultivators, including two late-stage Golden Core cultivators, simultaneously self-destructed their Golden Cores!

A violent power erupted, instantly surpassing the limits of Golden Core cultivation, sweeping away everything in its path, reaching the heavens and leveling everything in all directions.

Even the near-fourth-tier puppet controlled by True Monarch Huangsha was sent flying by this attack, its entire body covered in astonishing cracks.

“Ah—”

Liu Feiyan screamed in agony, her expression contorted.

The treasure protecting her head shattered instantly, no longer able to protect her.

Her head and body exploded together, her golden core also shattering, vanishing into nothingness in this terrifying storm.

“Soul, come!”

Li Chang’an raised his hand and collected her soul.

At the same time ,

her storage bag was also taken by Li Chang’an.

“Time to go.”

Li Chang’an did not hesitate, grabbing the storage bag and fleeing for his life, using his escape technique to its fullest extent.

Behind him, True Monarch Huangsha was furious, roaring,

“How dare you kill my Daoist companion!”

He was enraged, his eyes seemingly spitting fire, relentlessly pursuing Li Chang’an.

The two chased and fled, their escape techniques extremely astonishing.

In an instant, they disappeared from the battlefield.

During the escape…

Li Chang’an swiftly removed the restrictions on the storage bag, then opened it in his puppet form.

He was extremely cautious, as the events of opening Shi Hu Zhenren’s storage bag last time were still vivid in his mind.

Fortunately,

this time, there were no aggressive treasures inside.

Li Chang’an probed the bag with his divine sense, quickly scanning the numerous treasures within.

“Quite a few treasures, but unfortunately, the high-grade treasures all bear the divine sense imprint left by Huangsha Zhenjun.”

He swept over the treasures and soon found his target, the one he had been plotting for years, in a corner of the storage bag:

the cave key!

The key contained no magical energy fluctuations; it appeared unremarkable, without any markings, except for the character “长” (Chang) engraved on its surface.

Li Chang’an quickly took it out, examined it thoroughly, and after confirming its safety, tossed it into his storage bag.

“Finally got it!”

With this, he had collected three of the four keys needed to open the cave.

Only one remained!

He only needed to infuse this key with Evergreen magic power to sense the location of the final key.

But Li Chang’an had no time to sense that key.

He had discarded Liu Feiyan’s storage bag and was focused on escaping!

The near-fourth-tier puppet of True Monarch Huangsha was hot on his heels.

Even with his Heavenly Grade Escape Technique at its peak, he couldn’t shake off True Monarch Huangsha’s pursuit.

“This old thing probably also knows a Heavenly Grade Escape Technique,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

The distance between them was impossible to increase.

Furthermore, True Monarch Huangsha’s divine sense remained firmly locked onto him.

“He doesn’t need to catch up with me. He just needs to stay close behind. When his true form catches up, he can naturally take me down.”

Li Chang’an saw through Huangsha Zhenjun’s thoughts.

He guessed it.

Huangsha Zhenjun’s true form was already on its way.

But he didn’t panic. After all, he had the Realm-Splitting Talisman, so even facing Huangsha Zhenjun directly wouldn’t be a problem.

…

At this moment, he controlled the three Golden Core puppets and two Demon King puppets left behind in Yuanyang Valley. He was

going to plunder Yuanyang Valley!

With a “hum,” the gate of Yuanyang Valley’s treasure vault opened.

The entire Yuanyang Valley’s millennia of accumulation was presented before Li Chang’an’s eyes.

Over the years,

he had exchanged some of the treasures in the vault through numerous Golden Core puppets.

But there were still many treasures in the vault, colorful, dazzling, and rich in precious light, which dazzled him.

“As expected of the number one Golden Core power in the Western Regions, the number of treasures in the vault far exceeds that of Huanghe Immortal City’s vault.”

Li Chang’an had plundered Huanghe Immortal City before.

However, Huanghe Immortal City’s resources were limited, relying solely on the reputation of Huanghe Zhenren, far inferior to Yuanyang Valley.

At its peak, Yuanyang Valley boasted nearly thirty Golden Core cultivators!

Rare Core Formation treasures

were abundant in Yuanyang Valley’s treasury.

There were over ten high-quality Five Elements Condensing Golden Pills alone!

In addition, there were numerous ordinary and inferior Five Elements Condensing Golden Pills, as well as a dazzling array of Core Formation spiritual items.

Besides these,

there were also over ten kinds of auxiliary ingredients for Nascent Soul Pills.

“It’s a pity there’s no main ingredient,”

Li Chang’an said regretfully.

In Yuanyang Valley’s thousand-year history, it had obtained the main ingredient for Nascent Soul Pills, but it was ultimately offered as tribute to Huangsha Sect.

A Nascent Soul sect like Huangsha Sect firmly controlled Nascent Soul resources.

If Li Chang’an could plunder Huangsha Sect, he could naturally acquire a batch of Nascent Soul treasures, but he didn’t have that ability now.

“Collect!”

He waved his hand.

More than ten storage bags flew out, opening their mouths and frantically absorbing all the treasures in the treasury.

At the same moment…

The two demon kings he controlled arrived at the library of Mandarin Duck Valley.

Inside, the library contained a vast collection of cultivation techniques, spells, ancient texts, and various inheritances.

“There are quite a few first-tier inheritances, almost all the arts of cultivation are covered. There are also many second-tier inheritances, and more than ten third-tier inheritances.”

Li Chang’an had already used his puppets to examine all the inheritances in the Mandarin Duck Valley library.

Among them,

there were five that reached the upper-tier third rank!

These were weapon crafting, formations, talismans, beast taming, and spiritual plants.

The talisman inheritance was somewhat useful to Li Chang’an; he had already practiced it over the years, raising his talisman skills to the upper-tier third rank.

Now, he had reached the upper-tier third rank in alchemy, talismans, weapon crafting, and formations. In terms of cultivation skills alone, he was arguably the number one in the Western and Southern Regions!

With a wave of his hand, he collected all the jade slips.

In the blink of an eye,

the library was empty.

Furthermore, he didn’t miss the Mandarin Duck Valley’s herb garden, beast farm, and so on.

After the looting, the entire Mandarin Duck Valley looked as if it had been ravaged by locusts.

However,

due to the concealment of the array,

many ordinary disciples of Mandarin Duck Valley were still unaware.

Under the effect of the illusion array, the various spirit herb gardens still looked fruitful and fragrant, showing no signs of abnormality.

“It’s time to go.”

Li Chang’an, having reaped a bountiful harvest, quietly controlled three Golden Core cultivators and two demon kings to leave.

Once they were far away, he had a thought, and the three Golden Core cultivators instantly exploded.

The two demon kings were then collected by his blood-dripping avatar.

Body tempering required a large amount of third-tier demon king blood essence, so he could keep the two demon kings captive and slowly drain their blood.

“The library and treasure vault are empty, and the Golden Core cultivators are all dead. The entire Mandarin Duck Valley has lost its foundation and high-ranking members; it’s practically dead… Could I say I’ve helped the Southern Region?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

Without Mandarin Duck Valley, a top-tier Golden Core power, the balance of the war between the two regions might shift.

Furthermore, the numerous industries controlled by Yuanyang Valley might trigger a new round of infighting in the Western Regions.

Of course,

none of this concerned him anymore.

He vanished in a flash, returning to the Southern Region with his abundant spoils.

…

Meanwhile,

unable to shake off Huangsha Zhenjun,

Li Chang’an quietly took out the Realm-Splitting Talisman and activated it. In

an instant,

a powerful force erupted, engulfing his body and causing him to disappear from the spot.

“A treasure that escaped?”

Huangsha Zhenjun pursued, searching everywhere, but found nothing.

At this moment, Li Chang’an

had returned to the heart of the Southern Region using the Rift Symbol.

After this use, the spiritual patterns on the Rift Symbol had dimmed somewhat, far less vibrant than when Li Chang’an first obtained it.

“I can use it three more times.”

Li Chang’an carefully put it away.

These three opportunities were practically equivalent to three lives, and he had to use them cautiously.

He returned to Changqing Mountain, entered the depths of his cave, and waved his hand.

“Bang!”

The cave door slammed shut, isolating him from the outside world.

Li Chang’an returned to his usual secluded cultivation spot and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

This operation had gone relatively smoothly.

Huangsha Zhenjun’s puppet was an exception, but it didn’t change the final outcome.

“I wonder where the last key is.”

With a thought, Li Chang’an took out the third key from his storage bag.

He continuously poured Changqing magic power into the key, and soon a vague sense of connection arose.

As his magic power increased, the connection gradually became clearer.

“The fourth key is…”

Li Chang’an frowned, looking towards the Central Region.

That key…

was actually within the Huangsha Sect in the Central Region!

“This is troublesome.”

Li Chang’an didn’t want to enter a Nascent Soul sect.

Although his disguise techniques were good, they were all third-tier methods.

In Nascent Soul sects like the Yellow Sand Sect, most had fourth-tier methods used to verify the identities of their disciples.

If he were recognized by True Monarch Yellow Sand, he would be courting death.

“This matter can’t be rushed. First, I need to find a way to confirm who has the key.”

Li Chang’an took a deep breath, suppressing the many distracting thoughts in his mind.

He took out the Soul Banner and threw out Liu Feiyan’s soul.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, I have something to ask you.”

“Li Chang’an?!”

Liu Feiyan’s expression changed drastically.

Over the years, she had seen countless portraits of Li Chang’an and naturally knew his appearance.

But she had never imagined that meeting Li Chang’an in person would be like this.

“How could it be you?”

“Why can’t it be me?”

“You…you…”

Liu Feiyan couldn’t accept it, pointing at Li Chang’an, her fingers trembling.

In her heart, even if Li Chang’an had hidden his strength, he couldn’t possibly pose a threat to her.

It would have been impossible for her to escape the pursuit of True Monarch Huangsha!

Yet now,

Li Chang’an sat unharmed before her.

This meant that Li Chang’an’s methods far exceeded her expectations over the years.

“No wonder…no wonder Awei died at your hands…”

Liu Feiyan thought of Fan Wei’s death, a hint of anger appearing on her face, but more so, powerlessness and despair.

Now, she herself had become a dead soul in Li Chang’an’s hands.

What was the point of talking about revenge?

She slumped to the ground, head bowed, as if all her strength had been drained.

Li Chang’an said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Liu, Fellow Daoist Fan’s soul is within my Soul Banner. If you cooperate with me, I can allow you to meet his soul, and become a pair of doomed lovers within the Soul Banner.”

“Is this true?”

Liu Feiyan suddenly raised her head, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes.

Li Chang’an nodded, “Of course, I, Li Chang’an, never lie.”
