Chapter 834: The Immortal Alliance's Pursuit and Blockade

"First, we need to figure out what that arrow was."

Not long after, having made up his mind, Li Fan, through his clone Ji Shaoli’s investigation, spent a great fortune to uncover the answer.

"The Sky-Patrolling Arrow. One of the latest advancements developed by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance to counter the large-scale assault from the Five Elders Association."

"Its speed is unimaginable. In just a single day, it can complete a full patrol around the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's territory. It automatically locks onto suspicious targets, descending from the heavens to deliver a devastating strike."

"Anyone below Dao Integration can be instantly killed. Even Dao Integration cultivators, if caught off guard, will suffer serious injuries on the spot."

Li Fan carefully read through the information on the Sky-Patrolling Arrow, his expression solemn.

"The most crucial part is that these things can be mass-produced. According to estimates, at least five Sky-Patrolling Arrows are currently patrolling the Immortal Alliance's airspace at all times."

"In times of war, they could likely launch dozens of them simultaneously, creating absolute aerial dominance."

Li Fan couldn't help but furrow his brows.

The power of these Sky-Patrolling Arrows was truly terrifying. If not for Tianyang and Lin Ling stepping in to protect him, he would have likely perished on the spot.

Moreover, as a weapon of war, the Sky-Patrolling Arrow came with an immunity clause.

In other words, if one had the misfortune of being in its flight path and got impaled—dying as a result…

No one would be held accountable for the death.

A death in vain.

"From this perspective, it seems that Ou Daozi and his son had nothing to do with the Sky-Patrolling Arrow."

"They simply predicted its trajectory and tried to use it as a tool to kill me while making their escape."

Li Fan nodded to himself.

After understanding the general situation, he began executing his own plan.

Little did Ou Daozi and his son expect that Li Fan’s retaliation would come so swiftly.

And with absolutely no mercy!

In just three days, a certain video spread across nearly the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

The shocking content of the video left countless cultivators within the alliance utterly stunned. At the same time, it stirred up both murderous intent and greed within them.

That’s right—Li Fan completely abandoned the idea of personally hunting down Ou Daozi and his son.

Instead, he publicly revealed that they possessed divine treasures and mystical abilities!

By common logic, human nature is greedy and selfish.

Upon learning that someone possesses a supreme treasure, most people would go to great lengths to claim it for themselves.

They would scheme in secret, keeping the information as contained as possible.

Even if they lacked the ability to claim the treasure alone, they would seek allies—or perhaps simply sell the secret for a high price.

In any case, such a matter should only be known within a small circle.

But Li Fan? He completely defied conventional wisdom.

Without a hint of hesitation or greed, he spread the information far and wide within mere days!

From an outsider's perspective, Li Fan’s actions seemed downright foolish and self-defeating.

After all, cultivators are countless in number. Even if Ou Daozi and his son were eventually stripped of their secrets, Li Fan would likely gain nothing from it.

He had given up a golden opportunity to profit—all just to vent his anger.

A reckless move, bordering on madness.

However, in truth, if not for [Truth], Li Fan would never have done such a thing.

But with [Truth] in his possession, he was in no hurry.

Whatever he wanted—he would obtain in due time.

"The boy is indeed troublesome. Let the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance pave the way for me, see if there are any good strategies to capture him."

"In the next life, I will simply imitate him." Li Fan's eyes flickered.

And Li Fan's plan was undeniably effective.

Foreseeing the future, the Art of Time Reversal!

Anyone who had witnessed the abilities displayed by Ou Daozi and his son in the images couldn't help but feel an overwhelming desire to claim such powers for themselves!

For a time, a frenzy erupted across the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance as cultivators scrambled to search for Ou Daozi.

Several influential families even offered enormous rewards—anyone who could provide information on the whereabouts of Ou Daozi and his son would be handsomely rewarded with top-tier Dao Integration cultivation techniques.

"No matter how well you run, no matter how vast the world is, there will be no place left for you to hide."

Li Fan, the mastermind behind all of this, watched the increasingly frenzied cultivators. He recalled the mocking expression on Ou Daozi’s son's face and coldly scoffed in his heart.

When nearly the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance united in pursuit of the same goal, the efficiency was terrifying beyond measure.

The events of the 115th cycle—exploring the White Mist and the small cave-world—had already proven this point.

Less than five days after the release of the images, Ou Daozi and his son, who had been hiding deep within a forest, were found.

Although they managed to escape using strange and unpredictable techniques, it was only a matter of time before they were caught.

Now that they had been exposed, under the relentless pursuit and surveillance of the Immortal Alliance cultivators, their capture was inevitable.

What surprised Li Fan, however, was that the father and son managed to hold out much longer than expected.

And in the process, their abilities and secrets gradually came to light.

Ou Daozi's son was named Ou Shangtian.

The abilities of foreseeing the future and reversing the time belonged solely to Ou Shangtian himself.

Currently, it was speculated that these powers originated from some kind of innate mystical artifact bound to him.

However, the ability to foresee the future was different from the initial assumptions.

Ou Shangtian could not predict every detail of the future at will—his foresight was only triggered when his life was under imminent threat.

In simple terms, he could foresee countless ways in which he could die, allowing him to navigate danger and find a path to survival.

As for the power to reverse the time, it aligned with Li Fan’s original speculations—it was not true time manipulation. Instead, it allowed Ou Shangtian to rewind an object's state or energy to a prior moment in time, within certain limits.

Moreover, during this process, he could establish a mysterious connection between himself and the affected object.

For instance, Ou Shangtian had once reversed dozens of attacks aimed at him and even absorbed the power of one particular technique, using it to annihilate an entire squad of cultivators before vanishing without a trace.

However, the power to reverse the time was not limitless. Each time Ou Shangtian used it, he needed a period of rest before he could use it again.

Once the truth became clear, many cultivators were deeply disappointed and abandoned the pursuit.

Indeed, while these abilities were formidable, they fell short of the legendary power to truly reverse time itself.

Still, a significant number of cultivators persisted.

After all, cultivators with such rare talents were usually absorbed by major factions and granted immense prestige. Now, with the opportunity to strike down a fallen genius, how could they let it slip away?

With a clear understanding of Ou Shangtian’s abilities, the cultivators coordinated their strategies during the chase.

Instead of going for the kill, they aimed for a live capture, rendering his foresight ability largely ineffective.

They refrained from attacking all at once, opting instead for continuous, wave-like assaults, wearing down his power to reverse the time.

As time passed, Ou Shangtian found it increasingly difficult to escape.

Finally, on the tenth day after the images were released, the father and son were cornered, with nowhere left to run.
