Chapter 1316: Chapter 1310: The Most Easily Overlooked Person
At this moment, inside the Ancestral Space.
The clansmen stared at everything happening within the Great Evolution Immortal Palace through the monitoring Spirit Artifact, everyone secretly wiping away cold sweat.
An immortal battling a hidden faction—they certainly had to carefully observe such a monumental event.
And what an observation it was.
As soon as the Red Dust Immortal made his move, it truly broadened the family’s horizons.
The Red Dust Immortal, who had acted so subserviently under Ancestor Lan and Lu Niang, was actually such a formidable existence!
Within the Great Evolution Immortal Palace.
From the outside, it looked exactly like a massive cube, containing countless smaller cubes within.
These cubes sectioned off the Immortal Palace’s cultivators—who were clearly right next to each other—making them seem worlds apart.
Immortal mist surged, isolating both prying eyes and lines of sight, leaving the entire Immortal Palace shrouded in a hazy condition and plunging the entire sect into a state of absolute chaos.
Li Dalong said in a deep voice,
“It’s an array—an array formed by immortal arts. The Red Dust Immortal and Xinri evaded the eyes and ears of the Central Plains cultivators, hiding in the Immortal Palace for three years.
We thought he was hiding in the most dangerous place, but in reality, he spent these three years forging an array with immortal arts, aiming directly at the Thunder Ancestor.”
“Not only that.”
Li Kuanghua said,
“I have received numerous pieces of intelligence from my believers.
The exact moment the Red Dust Immortal struck, the many factions of the Central Plains also received the news. Unfortunately, they had no time to pay the Red Dust Immortal any heed.”
“Hm?” The family members were momentarily startled.
“The Red Dust Immortal’s timing was impeccable. Within this past month, the hidden factions of the Central Plains have suddenly been thrown into chaos, seemingly tracking some highly important things.
Remember when the Red Dust Immortal told Xinri in the tavern that there were many immortals in the Central Plains? Only immortals could throw the Central Plains factions into such chaos.”
Li Kuanghua raised an eyebrow.
“Although he has constantly been fooling around with Xinri, I suspect his Red Dust immortal methods have been continuously laying out schemes across the Central Plains, all for the sake of today.”
“…”
The crowd remained silent for a long time. They were both Heavenly Immortals, yet compared to the Red Dust Immortal, the Immortal Infant was practically a wild boar.
“Then, Second Sister is about to achieve her Dao.”
Li Yaotie’s large, bull-like eyes widened.
The clansmen all revealed smiles. They hadn’t expected that having an immortal handle affairs on the outside would make accomplishing things so incredibly easy.
Amidst their rejoicing, they completely failed to notice a person clutching a spiked mace-like staff running madly along the cobblestone path in the corner of the image.
Even Li Zhijing and Li Xinghuo didn’t see him.
Only Li Wei, the Old Ancestor, caught sight of it.
He rested his forehead in his hand, murmuring, “As expected of the most easily overlooked person in the family, and the one who understands best how to play the pig to eat the tiger.”
…
In the cloudy sky above the Immortal Palace.
Rolling red dust surged.
The Red Dust Immortal was locked in a great battle with an old man. The Red Dust Immortal remained perfectly still, while the old man’s eyes were completely devoid of focus.
In the old man’s eyes, he had fallen into the mortal world.
Everything in this mortal realm was incredibly unfamiliar. No matter how he tried to destroy it, the shouts of commoners would reappear within the dust.
These scenes shifted continuously. Suddenly, he was on a battlefield, caught between two warring mortal armies.
Subsequently, he plunged into a scene of cultivators engaged in a massive battle, or an expanse of freezing ice and snow…
He had only barely caught a glimpse of the Red Dust Immortal before entirely losing sight of him.
In front of the Red Dust Immortal, his Dao-Comprehending realm abilities were pitifully weak.
Even knowing full well that this was an illusion formed by immortal arts, he simply could not overcome it no matter what he did.
Only an ethereal voice could be heard ringing out.
“I stayed in the Great Evolution Immortal Palace for a few years. Lu Niang asked me to kill you, but I did not wish to kill.
Within the red dust of the mortal realm, even mighty figures are merely a part of the red dust.”
“I am the Red Dust Immortal; I enter the red dust, and I oversee the red dust.”
“Yet ironically, the people of the red dust do not know the goodness of the red dust, instead seeking to cross over and become immortals.”
Thunder Ancestor He Xingfei’s face was extremely ugly. He knew the Red Dust Immortal was right within this illusion.
His body gradually turned ferocious, and his Dao Domain also writhed like flesh and blood.
He roared furiously, “You are an immortal! You cannot escape the Central Plains, nor can you escape the Imperial Dynasty’s suppression!”
The ethereal, elusive voice echoed once more.
“Mortal, before you die, why not tell this immortal exactly how you became a half-immortal? Throughout the entire Imperial Dynasty, how many more people like you are there?”
He Xingfei remained speechless.
His Dao Domain actually broke through the Red Dust Immortal’s illusion, and tentacles pierced out from within the Dao Domain, carrying the power of Nature in an attempt to erode the red dust.
Unfortunately, he still could not find the Red Dust Immortal’s whereabouts.
The Red Dust Immortal’s dissatisfied voice still lingered within the Dao Domain: “Since you are within my red dust, even if you refuse to speak, I can find the answer myself.”
“Stop him!”
“This person is with the intruders, he’s heading for the treasury.”
“Catch him!”
“…”
Reaching the treasury, Li Xinri broke out in a cold sweat as he looked back at the rows of cubes.
Inside those cubes, the Immortal Palace cultivators were frantically breaking through the Red Dust Immortal’s barrier, moving from one cube to the next.
Upon arriving at the treasury, he ignored everything else.
With a sun glowing in the cloudy sky above, he was fortunate that the Red Dust Immortal’s Immortal Dao had shattered even the treasury’s array.
The door melted effortlessly. Li Xinri haphazardly swept everything inside into his storage, and by the time he stepped back outside, cold sweat was already streaming down his face.
The Red Dust Immortal was locked in a massive battle within the Great Evolution Immortal Palace, leaving Li Xinri all alone right now.
There were even Void Refinement cultivators pursuing him through the cubes.
“Mother …” Li Xinri glanced wildly around, running from one end to the other, his heart pounding out of his chest. “What do I do… what do I do?”
The people of the Immortal Palace weren’t fools. Cultivators who had broken through the barrier early on had simply set up arrays outside the Immortal Palace to block him.
Just a few barriers away, he could see the Immortal Palace elders glaring at him with furious rage. A single glance told Li Xinri that he was absolutely no match for them.
Furthermore…
“What the hell are these people?!!”
Li Xinri’s heart pounded wildly.
The cultivators outside the Immortal Palace were bizarre to the extreme. There was only one Void Refinement cultivator among them.
If they had merely been ordinary Void Refinement experts, Li Xinri might have had the courage to force his way through; after all, the Heavenly Mountain’s secret techniques were nothing to sneeze at.
But just look at them! That Void Refinement elder summoned Heavenly Thunder, and the lightning actually coiled around his body.
Then, from the surrounding space, blurry, fleshy lightning hands sprouted.
A normal Void Refinement cultivator’s Spiritual power was the power of heaven and earth, but this guy…
The scene outside looked like a literal hell. Some disciples had even transformed into hideous, indescribable monsters.
Moreover, the Spiritual power radiating from these people carried an oppressive might that made the body instinctively uncomfortable.
In one of the barriers behind him.
There was even a Divinity Transformation cultivator who had turned into a mass of grotesque flesh and blood, erupting with Spiritual power that almost reached the Void Refinement realm.
“I’m doomed…”
Li Xinri let out a long breath of stale air, muttering casually to himself.
His face then turned expressionless. Ignoring the people chasing him from the barriers in all directions, he silently tied the ancestral spirit tablet with a string and hung it around his neck.
He donned the armor of an Asura Army cultivator from Northguard City, popped the pill Zhijing had given him into his mouth, and readied Xinjue’s invisibility talisman.
Grasping the ‘Staff’, Li Xinri’s eyes burned brightly.
With the spiked mace-like staff in hand, the Spiritual power of his Divine Illumination Fire Physique manifested a sun above his head.
The radiant brilliance of the morning sun illuminated the entire cobblestone path.
“Come on!!!”
Li Xinri roared furiously. Gripping the staff, the Great Sun Golden Crow avatar let out a piercing cry from the sun behind him.
“Caw!”
Flames engulfed the entire empty space within the barrier. The fire spread along the cobblestone path, forming a long trail of flames.
Li Xinri leaped into the air. The ‘Staff’ bestowed by the Red Dust Immortal blazed with roaring flames as he mounted the Golden Crow.
In mid-air, Heavenly Mountain techniques formed circular talisman arrays.
These arrays emitted ancient runes, causing the scorching flames pouring from the sun to shine even brighter, as various techniques unleashed their might alongside the Golden Crow.
Atop the Golden Crow, Li Xinri’s face twisted ferociously, the veins on his forehead bulging wildly.
Illuminated bright red by the flames, the veins on the hand gripping the staff stood out sharply.
“Kill!”
Li Xinri roared. In his eyes, the flames drifted forward like smoke. The things ahead were likely the ‘immortal kin’ the Red Dust Immortal had mentioned, but it didn’t matter.
He had walked out of the Northern Frontier; a man dies with his bird pointing to the sky!
He charged forward madly, his eyes utterly devoid of fear.
Closer and closer. He could even see the mockery and cold sneers on the faces of the Immortal Palace elders ahead, as if they were treating his Great Sun Golden Crow as mere blood food.
But suddenly…
Beyond the numerous Immortal Palace elders, the distant horizon gradually darkened.
Shadows crept across the ground, like the gloom before a heavy downpour when clouds blot out the sun. The shadows drew nearer, and powerful auras emerged from the sky.
Li Xinri, seated on the Golden Crow avatar and charging with the sun, turned his head simultaneously with the Immortal Palace cultivators who had been lying in wait outside.
In the cloudy sky, massive spirit boats appeared.
Banners fluttered in the wind atop the spirit boats.
At the prow of the nearly one hundred spirit boats stood cultivators clad in sky-blue uniforms, looking exactly like a formal army.
Behind the cultivators, levitating arrays rose into the air, linking their Spiritual power together.
The arrays almost blotted out the sky and the sun.
The figures of spirit beasts typically found only in the sea domains drilled out from the arrays, pouring down like a torrential rain upon the Immortal Palace cultivators.
At the very front was actually a levitating spirit turtle.
Standing upon it was a rakishly uninhibited, handsome man with his arm around a breathtakingly beautiful woman, currently waving his hand.
“Boom!”
As the Spiritual power from the arrays poured down, the Immortal Palace cultivators were caught off guard and struggled to defend themselves.
Li Xinri saw with his own eyes the man on the spirit turtle cast a technique.
A long river resembling a sea of stars poured down from the sky, striking directly in front of the Immortal Palace elder wielding the lightning-attribute Spiritual power.
This man wielded a trident and stood upon the waves. Nine water dragons surged from the long river, accompanying his attack.
With a thrust of his trident, he forced the Immortal Palace elder backward. Then, under the elder’s furious gaze, he dragged the Immortal Palace elder into a Void Refinement space.
“Who are these people?”
Li Xinri was momentarily stunned. But without time to think, he seized the opportunity, urging the Great Sun Golden Crow to charge out of the Great Evolution Immortal Palace.
Not long after breaking out, he saw cultivators leaping down from the spirit boats, swamping the Immortal Palace cultivators who had just been bombarded by the grand array outside.
These cultivators in military uniforms simply called out to him, “Young Master, run quickly!”
Then, without another word, while Li Xinri stood there with a bewildered expression, they yanked him onto a spirit boat.
Following that, the cultivators still on the battlefield expertly finished off the ambushed cultivators.
In passing, they stormed into the Immortal Palace, took away the glittering gold “Great Evolution Immortal Palace” name plaque, and didn’t even spare several large halls, leaving behind a completely barren patch of land.
After sweeping the battlefield and burying their tracks, the spirit boats soared into the sky and swiftly flew away using stealth methods, without the slightest hesitation.
This clean, efficient, and well-trained execution left Li Xinri unable to react for quite a while.
He could only stare blankly at the flag fluttering on the spirit boat, which bore a massive character: ‘Li’.
“…” Li Xinri wore an expression of sheer bewilderment. “When did our family get a gang of robbers like this?”
Hearing Li Xinri’s muttering, a crew member said with dissatisfaction, “Wrong, we are pirates.”
“Shouldn’t pirates be in the sea?”
“The sea of clouds is also a sea.”
