Chapter 352 - 238: Faking Death to Escape (Long - )

Finished cursing, they left too.

"What a Li Yunxiao..."

Lin Xianxian sighed and said, "This guy is handsome. In the future, if I get the chance, I must have a good time with him."

Clearly, this group of big shots... all came to hate Li Yunxiao.

Ridiculous, decades of cultivation effort! Lin Xianxian, such a rare top beauty, even brought Li An endless pleasure, yet in the end...

Everything was ruined by Li Yunxiao.

It made them so furious they coughed up blood!

In a blink, the five people left, either enraged or heavy-hearted. They used to be extremely enthusiastic toward Li An, but now not a single person cared about him.

Li An struggled to get up, walking while spitting blood, shouting, "Xiang Yuntian... I want to see Xiang Yuntian, I want to see Xiang Yuntian!"

...

Li An did not see Xiang Yuntian.

Today is not an open day, and Xu Wanshou wouldn’t relay a message for him.

He lay on the hospital bed, his breath gradually weakening.

...

Dao Sect.

The casting conference concluded, now the sect’s leaders are gathered, integrating and organizing the techniques obtained.

Zhengqi Peak, one of the main peaks of the Dao Sect.

"Master, everything is arranged properly, should we proceed as planned?"

On the peak, inside a confidential cave, Zhan Qingxuan stood respectfully before an elder.

The elder had white hair all over and held a duster, he was indeed Zhan Qingxuan’s master—Liu Zhengyi!

Liu Zhengyi pondered for a long time, he said, "We can’t delay anymore, if we wait, the Evil King will be completely refined, success or failure, we must fight!"

"Profound Turtle Peak is key, how’s it there now?"

"Li An, the scapegoat, is already arranged, as long as nothing unexpected happens, all five should come out..."

"You must account for the unexpected too!"

Liu Zhengyi’s gaze was extremely grave, he took out a paper figurine from his sleeve, "I’ve refined this for years, when the time comes, place it at Profound Turtle Peak... even if the arrangement there goes wrong, this can temporarily serve some purpose."

"Proceed with the original plan, make a move on this month’s open day!"

Zhan Qingxuan nodded solemnly!

...

"Qingxue, thank you for saving me."

On Evil Suppression Peak, Li Yunxiao smiled warmly, handing a jade box to Tan Qingxue, "This Dao resonance can help you better comprehend Celestial Fox Skill."

Tan Qingxue said, "You don’t need my rescue, I simply didn’t want you to reveal your real strength too early in front of Long Yan and others."

She took the jade box, gently opened it, and at once an inexplicable aura enveloped her, making her feel on the verge of enlightenment.

She closed the box, her eyes a bit excited and complex, she said seriously, "Yunxiao... thank you!"

This gift... is very significant.

"Also, the detailed explanation of Nine Revolutions Dantian Skill, the one I told you before wasn’t particularly thorough, take this one too."

Li Yunxiao handed her a bamboo slip, he said softly, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Tan Qingxue took it, despite her worldly experiences, at this moment she couldn’t help but feel a genuine sense of gratitude in her heart, she said, "Thank you."

...

"Are you crazy? Going to the Celestial Performance Dao Realm, and being a bodyguard for that Xiang Yuntian?!"

On Heroic Sword Peak, a senior cursed Gu Canye, extremely angry.

"You want to harm him, so I can only protect him personally."

Gu Canye held a stalk in his mouth, smiled, and said:

"I told you, don’t touch him, even though I will have a battle with him sooner or later, it must be honorable, without anyone’s help, nor needing your cunning schemes."

"Growing up, you’ve always taught me all sorts of sly tactics, but reaching where I am today, I feel your schemes have only constrained me, do you understand?"

"I practice Heart Sword, maybe in the future I will become like you, my Sword Intent dark, petty, venomous, and ruthless, but my current Heart Sword is like the spring breeze and summer rain, generous, fervent, and spontaneous. I haven’t had much freedom over the years, this time, I want my own freedom!"

"Growing up I haven’t had many friends, this time I want to make a friend, is that okay?"

The stalk in his mouth was already thrown away, he earnestly looked at the elder.

"So many geniuses in Dao Sect, so many people, why choose Xiang Yuntian as a friend?!"

"Give me a reason!"

The elder was furious.

"I like him, is that okay? Hahaha..."

Gu Can Ye walked away, chuckling while saying, "Though there are many people in Dao Sect, they are all fake... Dad, you know how tiring it is to live fake all your life!"

...

Leaving the cave, Gu Canye went to find Xiang Yuntian and said, "Old Xiang, in a few days, let’s visit your Demon Sect friends?"

Xiang Yuntian replied, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Canye answered, "Life is lonely, I want to make a few friends, simply as friends, okay?"

"Someone you can connect with must be a good friend."

Xiang Yuntian thought and then said, "Then prepare some good wine, this time, you’re treating."

Gu Canye laughed loudly, "I’ll prepare millennia-aged Spirit Wine for him, the three of us won’t return until drunk!"

"Oh wait, four people, I quite like your little disciple too!"

His laughter was hearty and spontaneous.

...

In the blink of an eye, the end of the month.

Having just gone through the casting conference, few disciples came to Profound Turtle Peak seeking cultivation techniques. Most were in retreat, digesting gains from the Celestial Performance Dao Realm.

On the first day, Tan Qingxue came, she toured for a long time, yet didn’t take any techniques, only glanced casually toward the seated area.

The person sitting wasn’t Li An.

For three consecutive days, she didn’t encounter Li An, eventually, she couldn’t resist approaching Xu Wanshou to ask, "Elder Xu, where’s the previous Li An who sat here? Why isn’t he sitting here anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanshou’s brows furrowed slightly, after pausing, he replied:

"He is dead."

"He died twelve days ago, at dusk, now already buried in the back mountain of Profound Turtle Peak."

Tan Qingxue’s delicate body instantly shook, her hand gently trembled, at that moment she seemed to lose her soul, standing still, at a loss!
