Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 381

Chapter 381 One Hand Destroys the City, Bloodstained Sky (Seeking Subscriptions)

A dignified late-stage Golden Core cultivator was now like a stray dog lying on the side of the road, completely unable to move in front of Li Chang’an.

Cui Nianhe was horrified.

He almost immediately realized that the Cui family had gotten into big trouble.

For a piece of Soul Nourishing Jade, they had actually provoked such a powerful expert.

It was truly a mistake!

Not only him, but everyone present realized Li Chang’an’s strength.

“Subduing a late-stage Golden Core cultivator in one move!”

Cui Yan was dumbfounded, his body subconsciously shrinking back.

He had originally wanted to help the Cui family take down Li Chang’an.

But now, this scene made him abandon all thoughts, and he slowly retreated, putting distance between himself and the Cui family.

The others also retreated.

Due to the strength Li Chang’an had displayed, they couldn’t help but doubt.

Would such a powerful expert really cheat in a transaction?

At this moment,

the two puppets suddenly spoke in unison.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding today’s events. Perhaps we can compromise. If you release Nian He, my Cui family is willing to offer an apology.”

The person controlling these two puppets was Cui Nian De, the current head of the Cui family.

“Agreed.”

Li Chang’an nodded slightly.

He stated directly, “Use all the treasures from the Cui family’s treasury as an apology, and I will release him.”

“You…”

Cui Nian De was instantly enraged.

If he were sincerely seeking peace, why would he need so many treasures?

Clearly,

Li Chang’an did not intend to let this matter end easily.

Cui Nian De suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist, is there truly no room for negotiation?”

“I have already given my bottom line. If the Cui family is unwilling to apologize, then there is no reason for them to exist.”

“What a madman!”

Cui Nian De roared, completely enraged by Li Chang’an’s words.

He roared, “You’re all talk and no action! I’d like to see how you intend to destroy the Cui family!”

With that, the two puppets carried Cui Yueying away at lightning speed, leaving the Immortal City and entering the Cui family’s territory beside it.

Immediately afterward,

several booming sounds were heard.

The fourth-order grand formation of the Cui family’s territory fully activated!

Cui Niande’s voice emanated from within: “Madman, if you have the guts, try to break my Cui family’s formation. If you can break it, I’ll give you all the treasures of the Cui family!”

Inside the formation,

Cui Yueying’s pretty face was filled with worry.

She never expected things to develop this way.

Both Li Chang’an’s strength and her father Cui Niande’s attitude exceeded her expectations.

“Father, Second Uncle is still in Fellow Daoist Lin’s hands. Why must we make things so tense? If we talk things out, Fellow Daoist Lin should release Second Uncle.”

“Talk about what?”

Cui Niande snorted coldly, his attitude hardening.

“My Cui family, backed by the White Tiger Sect, has stood for a thousand years. When have we ever suffered such a threat? If that madman dares to come, I will make sure he never returns!”

“But Fellow Daoist Lin’s strength is extraordinary; I’m afraid he has more tricks up his sleeve.”

Cui Yueying said anxiously, her voice filled with worry.

But Cui Niande didn’t care.

“So what if he has more tricks up his sleeve? He can’t break through my Cui family’s formation!”

His face was ashen as he personally oversaw the fourth-order grand formation.

Meanwhile,

in the Immortal City, in the trading area, someone was also trying to persuade Li Chang’an.

Lin Baizhi advised, “Fellow Daoist Lin, this matter might truly be a misunderstanding. Why not be more magnanimous and compromise? Why must we fight and kill each other?”

“Be more magnanimous?”

Li Chang’an glanced at her, his eyes cold.

He had always despised those who advised him to be magnanimous.

The last person to advise him like that, Ye Sang, had already become a ghost in his soul banner.

Today, it wasn’t a misunderstanding; the Cui family was deliberately trying to seize the treasure.

If it weren’t for him, but an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, he would probably already be dead at the hands of the Cui family.

This was a life-or-death feud!

Lin Baizhi spoke again: “Fellow Daoist Lin, the demonic path is rampant now. You and the Cui family are both righteous cultivators. Why not shake hands and make peace?”

“Get lost!”

Li Chang’an shouted coldly, waving his hand.

Lin Baizhi’s expression changed drastically. She was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the city wall of the Immortal City, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This astonishing scene left everyone present speechless.

With just one strike,

a Holy Maiden was severely injured!

Although Lin Baizhi and Cui Nianhe were both late-stage Golden Core cultivators, her strength far surpassed Cui Nianhe’s, yet she suffered such a miserable defeat.

Cui Yan secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he hadn’t stood up for the Cui family, otherwise he wouldn’t be in much better shape now.

“What is this person’s cultivation level? Why is he so powerful? Could he be an old Holy Son who has accumulated power for hundreds of years?”

While rejoicing, he was also somewhat puzzled.

The next moment,

he got the answer.

“Boom!”

Li Chang’an soared into the sky, his aura powerful, releasing his Nascent Soul power without reservation.

Sensing this aura,

Cui Yan’s body trembled, his eyes widening instantly.

The others were the same, all staring in shock at the sky, as if frozen in place like stone statues.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but exclaim, “A Nascent Soul! It’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch!”

“In my lifetime, I’ve actually seen a living Nascent Soul!”

“The Cui family is in deep trouble!” “

A dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch wouldn’t deceive us. The previous events were most likely orchestrated by the Cui family to murder this senior and seize his treasures…”

Faced with absolute power, everyone sided with Li Chang’an.

At this moment…

Inside the Cui family’s territory,

numerous Cui family members, their faces pale, stared at Li Chang’an beneath the sky, fear etched in their eyes.

“How could our Cui family have provoked a Nascent Soul True Monarch?”

“It’s a misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding!”

“Patriarch, is there any way to salvage this situation?”

They all looked at Cui Niande, who was presiding over the formation, their anxious and terrified voices rising and falling.

Cui Niande’s face was grim, and he remained silent.

He had already greatly underestimated Li Chang’an’s strength and had even prepared various countermeasures.

But that powerful Nascent Soul aura made all his methods seem utterly ridiculous.

He felt a pang of regret, but knew it was too late.

He could only go all the way!

“No need to panic, so what if he’s a Nascent Soul?”

Cui Niande remained calm and shouted to his clansmen.

“Our Cui family has stood for a thousand years, with profound cultural heritage. Even a Nascent Soul cannot make our Cui family bow down!”

With that, he fully activated the power of the formation.

Endless spiritual energy surged wildly into the fourth-order formation, transforming into a dazzling golden arrow.

“Go!”

The golden arrow pierced the sky, carrying terrifying fourth-tier power, instantly reaching Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an unleashed a Heaven-grade spell to block it.

A deafening boom resounded, as if a thunderbolt had exploded across the heavens and earth, the violent power sweeping in all directions.

“Suppress!”

Li Chang’an intervened, blocking all the power.

Then

, he aimed downwards and casually grabbed.

“Rumble…”

The immortal city trembled, the earth shook, every house within the city swayed, as if another earthquake had occurred.

Under the astonished gazes of countless people,

this massive immortal city was completely lifted up by Li Chang’an and thrown far away.

In the blink of an eye, the

immortal city landed in an area far from the battlefield.

Li Chang’an did this, naturally, to avoid harming innocent people.

The Cui family possessed several fourth-tier grand formations, relying on which they could unleash fourth-tier power, equivalent to an immobile Nascent Soul cultivator.

Battles between Nascent Soul cultivators could only be described as world-destroying.

If the immortal city wasn’t thrown away…

The entire immortal city would be reduced to dust in an instant.

Furthermore,

near the immortal city,

there were more than ten mortal kingdoms.

These kingdoms, with populations ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, were all forcibly uprooted by Li Chang’an.

He carried these massive, sky-covering landmasses to distant places, moving mountains and filling seas to settle all the mortal kingdoms before returning to the Cui family’s territory.

Now, no innocent people would be implicated, and his fortune would not be diminished.

He could fight without restraint!

“Suppress!”

Li Chang’an raised his palm and pressed down.

The power of his Nascent Soul instantly transformed into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression, slowly descending from the heavens.

Rumble!

The mountains surrounding the Cui family’s territory shattered simultaneously.

Faced with that seemingly world-destroying palm strike, many members of the Cui family were filled with panic and fear.

“Patriarch, what should we do?”

“The spiritual veins of our Cui family’s territory haven’t reached the fourth rank yet. We need to consume a large amount of spirit stones to maintain the operation of the fourth-rank formation.” “

If this battle cannot be resolved quickly, our Cui family will surely be defeated!”

“…”

They all knew the terror of Nascent Soul experts and also knew the Cui family’s weakness.

The power of a Nascent Soul expert is inexhaustible, while the Cui family’s spirit stones are ultimately limited.

Cui Niande shouted, “What are you afraid of? Countless members of my Cui family are in the White Tiger Sect. How could they sit idly by and watch the Cui family perish? Just hold on for a moment, and the True Monarch of the White Tiger Sect will arrive!”

After saying that, he once again activated the power of the formation.

In an instant,

more than ten golden arrow beams flew out, all carrying powerful fourth-rank power, and continuously bombarded Li Chang’an’s large hand.

A loud bang was heard, and the large hand shattered, restoring brightness to the sky.

Cui Niande roared, “Madman, if this is all the strength you have, you’d better retreat now and stop making a fool of yourself here!”

Li Chang’an remained silent, focusing solely on his attack.

In just a few breaths,

he unleashed over a hundred spells.

Simultaneously, he constantly shifted his form, appearing as afterimages in various locations to observe the formations of the Cui family’s territory.

Before long,

he had a plan to break the formation.

“The Cui family’s territory has five fourth-tier grand formations. The outermost formation is both offensive and defensive, and it incorporates a concealment formation, seemingly trying to hide something.”

These five formations are all only of the lower fourth tier, unable to stop Li Chang’an.

A moment later,

he successfully removed one of the array-setting treasures.

“Break!”

The outermost formation instantly froze, revealing countless array patterns and hidden array treasures.

Li Chang’an instantly transformed into countless afterimages, removing hundreds of treasures in a flash.

He even wiped away the array patterns completely!

Cui Niande, who was guarding the formation, hadn’t even reacted before the outermost formation disappeared without a trace.

In the blink of an eye,

only four formations remained.

“What happened?”

His expression changed drastically, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Losing one of the grand formations felt like having a piece of armor stripped off, leaving him uneasy.

Moreover, since Li Chang’an could break one formation, he could naturally break the other four.

It was only a matter of time!

Cui Niande swallowed hard, feeling a chill run through his body.

He swallowed again, and with difficulty, he

began to plead, “True Lord Lin, today’s events were the fault of my Cui family. Can we talk?” Hearing this, Li Chang’an remained indifferent, still silent.

He didn’t attack again.

Not because he wanted to negotiate, but because he noticed something unusual.

“Why is the blood color within this Cui family territory so intense?”

Li Chang’an used his Stone Eye to observe the entire Cui family territory.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed anything amiss, only because the outermost fourth-order array had a concealing effect.

But now,

in his eyes, the entire Cui family territory was filled with overwhelming blood light!

How many deaths must have occurred to cause such intense blood light?

The last time Li Chang’an had seen such terrifying blood light was in the northern region of Zhao Kingdom, at the demonic stronghold containing the blood pool.

“The blood-red light emanating from the Cui family’s territory is comparable to that of a demonic stronghold, and there’s been no news of a massacre by the Cui family. This is quite unusual.”

“Furthermore, why would the Cui family, a righteous force, need demonic treasures?” “

How would the Thousand Corpse True Monarch know that the Cui family obtained the Heart-Questioning Insect Pill?”

“…”

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Li Chang’an’s mind.

He collected his thoughts and acted again.

A mere ten breaths later,

another array disappeared.

Only three fourth-order arrays remained in the entire Cui family territory.

“This array also serves a concealing function.”

Li Chang’an’s eyes were deep as he gazed at the vast ancestral land below.

In his eyes, the already astonishing blood-red light became even more intense.

The blood-red light soared into the sky.

Only a crimson expanse remained between heaven and earth!

And a faint, lingering smell of blood filled his nostrils.

Just then, Cui Niande’s voice rang out again.

“True Lord Lin, my Cui family knows we were wrong. I’m willing to offer all the treasures in the treasury, just beg you to show mercy and spare my family.”

His attitude changed again, becoming even weaker, constantly pleading.

It seemed he was truly just admitting his mistake and begging for forgiveness.

But Li Chang’an ignored him.

His expression was cold and stern, his figure flickering as he continued to break the third array.

Not long after,

the third array was also broken.

The stench of blood became even more pronounced, almost omnipresent.

And the blood before Li Chang’an’s eyes was now thicker than that of the demonic stronghold that housed the Yellow Spring Blood Corpse.

“This Cui family has a serious problem!”

His eyes were deep as he observed the fourth array.

Inside the array,

Cui Niande’s voice was hoarse as he pleaded desperately.

“True Lord Lin, our Cui family has stood for a thousand years, never committing any evil deeds. Almost all our disciples are virtuous people. It’s just that our family is so large that it’s inevitable that a few unruly scoundrels will emerge.”

“Today’s events were all orchestrated by Cui Nianhe. We beg True Lord Lin not to implicate innocent members of the Cui family!”

With that, he slowly knelt, prostrating himself on the ground.

Behind him,

numerous members of the Cui family also knelt.

“We beg True Lord Lin to atone for our sins!”

“True Lord, I am willing to go to the Northern Plains to kill the enemy, to cleanse the Cui family’s sins with the blood of demonic cultivators.” “

I am also willing to go to the Northern Region, begging for your lives, senior…”

“…”

The voices of thousands upon thousands of Cui family members rang out, their pleas for mercy blending together.

But Li Chang’an’s expression remained unchanged.

“Break!”

His words had barely left his lips when

the fourth great formation collapsed on the spot.

All the treasures were taken away, and the formation patterns were erased.

Thus, only the last formation remained protecting the Cui family’s territory.

Cui Niande suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and pleaded loudly, “True Lord Lin, please leave a protective formation for my Cui family! Countless mortals of the Cui family need this formation for protection.”

Li Chang’an ignored him.

He hovered outside the formation, his eyes narrowing as he carefully observed.

The last formation was more difficult to break than the previous four, considered a fine example of a low-grade fourth-tier formation.

The quality of the array-setting artifacts was higher, and the array patterns were more complex.

“This formation also has a concealment effect.”

“Five consecutive formations, all with concealment effects… it seems this Cui family territory hides something unspeakable.”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

The increasingly strong smell of blood gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Although this was the Cui family territory, he felt as if he had returned to the demonic stronghold beneath the mountains of the Northern Region.

“Blood Pool!”

Li Chang’an’s gaze was cold as he looked down.

He was almost certain that

beneath the Cui family’s territory lay a blood pool for cultivating Yellow Spring Blood Corpses.

Moreover, the scale of this blood pool far exceeded the one he and Zi Xi had discovered years ago.

It likely contained more than one Yellow Spring Blood Corpse!

Thinking of this,

he didn’t directly break the final array, but instead began setting up his own.

The materials for the four previous arrays lay quietly in his storage bag, perfectly intact and undamaged.

Li Chang’an transformed into a series of illusory figures, arranging treasures and outlining array patterns between heaven and earth.

Before long,

an astonishing array combining the materials of the four arrays took shape on the Cui family’s territory.

This array was incredibly powerful.

Even a true Nascent Soul True Monarch would find it difficult to break.

Although the Yellow Spring Blood Corpse possessed fourth-tier power, its other abilities were far inferior to a true Nascent Soul cultivator, making escape virtually impossible.

“That should be enough.”

Li Chang’an was fairly satisfied with this array.

But he still didn’t act.

He quietly hovered outside the Cui family’s territory, waiting for the divination to appear.

Soon, midnight arrived.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Neutral]

[You attacked the Cui family’s territory and discovered a blood pool beneath it, containing three Yellow Spring Blood Corpses that had been cultivated to the fourth rank.]

[You used the power of the formation to easily kill the three blood corpses and erase the blood pool without incident.]

“It really is a blood pool!”

Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the divination.

Three Yellow Spring Blood Corpses had actually appeared within the Yuan Kingdom.

At this crucial moment in the war between good and evil, if these three blood corpses suddenly appeared, they could deal a fatal blow to the righteous path!

“Destroying these three blood corpses can delay the progress of the demonic invasion and buy me time to form my Nascent Soul.”

Li Chang’an’s expression was solemn as he pondered.

These three blood corpses were no longer a threat.

However,

who knew how many more blood corpses hadn’t been discovered?

That Heavenly Nether True Monarch of the demonic path had been plotting for hundreds of years; he had probably already infiltrated both countries’ righteous paths.

Just as he was thinking…

A nascent infant aura suddenly appeared in Li Chang’an’s perception.

A short while later, a middle-aged cultivator in white robes appeared.

“I am Cui Ling. Is this Fellow Daoist Lin Fan?”

“Indeed!”

Li Chang’an recognized him.

Cui Ling, the junior brother of True Monarch White Tiger, hadn’t been in the Nascent Soul stage for long.

He also possessed Cui family blood; his father was a member of the Cui family, making him practically a member himself. His presence

here today was likely to help the Cui family out of their predicament.

Sure enough,

Cui Ling said, “Fellow Daoist Lin, today’s events were indeed the Cui family’s fault. I am willing to apologize on behalf of the Cui family. Please accept this item.”

As he spoke, a beam of spiritual light flew from his storage bag, arriving before Li Chang’an and transforming into a piece of mid-grade fourth-order spiritual wood.

This apology gift was quite sincere.

However, Li Chang’an did not accept it.

He said indifferently, “Fellow Daoist Cui, you alone cannot atone for the Cui family’s crimes.”

“Fellow Daoist Lin, what makes you say that?”

Cui Ling frowned, thinking Li Chang’an felt the apology gift wasn’t enough.

He took out another treasure and offered it to Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an still refused, only saying, “The Cui family colluded with the demonic path, cultivating Yellow Spring Blood Corpses for them. Can Fellow Daoist Cui bear this crime?”

“Impossible, there must be a misunderstanding!”

Cui Ling denied it outright, not believing it.

He glanced at the Cui family’s territory below, his gaze sweeping over the expressions of the many Cui family members.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, I am willing to guarantee the Cui family’s reputation with my Nascent Soul cultivation; the Cui family would never collude with the demonic path!”
