Outside Auspicious Light City, the long-bearded Daoist and the ancient robed cultivator stood on an abandoned sentry post, staring at a certain mound outside the city.
The long-bearded Daoist said, "There's still no movement until now, can that chess piece of yours still succeed?"
The ancient robed cultivator said, "After moving outside the city, his aura has been growing stronger and changing every day. According to my observations and calculations, there should be a result about tonight."
After a pause, he said, "Even if it doesn't succeed, it's just one more chaos monster. With the current situation of the Protectorate, that person needs to come out and solve it."
The long-bearded Daoist said, "Then I'll wait and see."
The two waited until the second half of the night. Suddenly, a cloud of black fog emerged from the mound, and a chaotic and obscure aura spread out, but it quickly converged.
The long-bearded Daoist said, "So quickly subdued, he's much stronger than that Ji Shouzhen."
The ancient robed cultivator said, "After all, we provided the method. If he can't even control his own strength, then don't expect him to deal with that person."
At this time, a disciple came up and said a few words to the long-bearded Daoist. The latter's expression changed, and he waved his hand to let the disciple go, then said, "That person left Auspicious Light City and went north."
The ancient robed cultivator frowned, "Did the people of the God Recovery Assembly make a move in advance?"
"No, we haven't sent them a message yet. According to the agreement, they won't make a move in advance. It should be that person who went out on his own."
The ancient robed cultivator thought for a moment, then said, "Although it's a bit sudden, it's also good. It saves us the effort, which would be too obvious. Just that, do we still need to inform the God Recovery Assembly? "
The long-bearded Daoist pondered for a moment, then said, "It's better to inform them. They must have spies in the city. Even if we don't inform them, they will still receive the news. It's better for us to tell them and express our goodwill. On the matter of killing this person, both sides are in agreement."
The ancient robed cultivator thought for a moment and agreed. At this time, he seemed to have thought of something, then said, "What about Xu Chengtong? Did he leave with that person? "
The long-bearded Daoist said, "He is in Auspicious Light City, but if there is any communication between the two, this person is likely to rush to support. It is best to do something to divert his attention, or simply take this opportunity to get him out. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be bad."
The cultivator in ancient attire said, "Alright, I'll take care of this. If it doesn't work out, we'll do it ourselves."
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly felt that something was amiss. They saw a young Daoist dressed in black robes walk out from the distance. It was Pang Li, who had been cultivating underground during this time.
In their eyes. This person was a young and somewhat stubborn cultivator of the younger generation. However, his aura had changed greatly, and he looked very sinister.
From the looks of it, not only did the cultivation method improve his cultivation, it also changed his temperament.
The cultivator in ancient clothes nodded and said, "It's done. I'll go see him." As soon as he finished speaking, he teleported away and appeared in the wilderness.
Pang Li sensed his arrival, looked him up and down, and said, "You are the master of my previous life?"
The cultivator in ancient clothing nodded and said, "That's me."
Pang Li snorted and said, "I don't think so."
The cultivator in ancient clothing was expressionless and said, "Oh, why not?"
Pang Li's eyes flickered and said, "After cultivating your cultivation method, I'm very sensitive to people's thoughts. When you saw me, your emotions didn't change at all. How could you be the master of my previous life?"
The cultivator in ancient clothing said indifferently, "You don't have to doubt it. After all, that was a person from your previous life. In this life, you can't even see a shadow of my disciple, let alone have any feelings for me. "
Pang Li looked at him for a while and said, "That makes sense."
The cultivator in ancient clothing said, "That's how it is. This time, I won't go with you to take revenge. This is your own matter."
Pang Li smiled slyly and said, "No, I don't want revenge now."
The cultivator in ancient clothing frowned and said in a low voice, "What did you say?"
Pang Li looked at the night sky and opened his arms, saying, "Compared to the Great Dao, what is a mere hatred?
Now that I know more principles and mysteries, I realize that my previous thoughts were laughable. Why should I live for another person? It's not worth it at all. Only the supreme realm is what I should pursue. "
He retracted his gaze and said with a hint of playfulness, "You taught me because I was your disciple in your previous life, so you used the Fate Dispelling Technique, right? If that's the case, then you're done. You can leave now. "
The cultivator in ancient clothing was silent for a while before saying, "Perhaps you've already felt it?"
Pang Li said, "What?"
The cultivator in ancient clothing said slowly, "This secret technique of yours now needs to devour the essence and blood of cultivators to maintain itself when you're chasing after the Great Chaos. The more advantageous it is for you."
Pang Li's eyes became dangerous and said, "Oh, then I seem to have more than one choice."
The cultivator in ancient clothing immediately felt a sense of danger, but he stood still and said calmly, "Don't you want the follow-up technique?"
Pang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "The follow-up technique?"
The cultivator in ancient clothing said, "You know very well what you should choose. When the time is right, we'll naturally give you the rest of the technique."
Pang Li said coldly, "What if I want it now?"
The cultivator in ancient clothing looked at him expressionlessly.
Pang Li suddenly felt something. He glanced into the distance and saw a long-bearded Daoist appear there. His pair of golden-red eyes couldn't help but narrow again.
The cultivator in ancient clothing took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and threw it to Pang Li, saying, "This is a secret pill. When used with your technique, it can better control your own strength."
Pang Li caught it. Based on his senses, he could confirm that the pills in the bottle were indeed useful to him. His eyes flickered for a while. Clearly, there were still many things that the cultivator in ancient clothing had not told him.
The cultivator in ancient clothing said indifferently, "Alright, I've told you everything that needs to be told. You can decide what to do next."
At this time, Pang Li said, "Speaking of which, Honored Sir calls himself my previous life's teacher. How could I not know Honored Sir's name?
The cultivator in ancient clothing said, "There's no need to say my name. Our predestined relationship is over. Right now, we're just strangers. That's right, that person has already headed north. We've deduced that he's gone to the depths of Mount An again. This is a good opportunity to make a move.
There's a person in the city called Xu Chengtong. He's that person's right-hand man. Perhaps you can go find him first before setting out. "
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and leaped into the sky to leave.
The long-bearded Daoist glanced at Pang Li and also flew into the sky with him.
After returning to the courtyard behind the city, he said, "After that chess piece of yours got close to the Great Primal Chaos, his thoughts are completely different from ordinary people. I'm afraid that just pills and techniques won't be able to suppress him. What if he's unwilling to deal with that person? Then wouldn't our plan fall through? "
The cultivator in ancient clothing said, "Don't worry. Even if he's unwilling, it's useless because this is his obsession. He's looking for the Great Primal Chaos precisely because of that person. However, once he understands, he won't be able to pass this trial. He himself also understands that we just have to sit and watch the show."
As he spoke, his expression changed because he discovered that an obscure force had entered Auspicious Light City and was heading in the direction of Xuanfu. He smiled, "It seems that his movements are faster than we thought."
At this moment, Xu Chengtong was sitting in an Immortal's Cave on Mount Qi outside Xuanfu. In front of him was a Dao book, and he would flip through a few pages from time to time.
In the early years, when Xuanfu and the Protectorate General were in conflict, there was a secret passage here. At a critical moment, the people of Xuanfu could go out of Auspicious Light City through this passage.
However, now that the turbid tide was gradually receding, many cultivators were able to fly. Xuanfu also had their own flying boats, so this secret passage was no longer useful. It had long been changed into a place for cultivators to cultivate in seclusion.
However, very few cultivators would come here now. They usually hid in clean and tidy secret rooms. This place was damp and dark. Those who could come here to cultivate were true ascetic cultivators.
Xu Chengtong didn't care about the surrounding conditions. He even wished that the environment was as harsh as possible. This was because the more difficult it was, the more it showed that he was loyal to his master.
Recently, whenever he had free time, he would step up his cultivation. He clearly understood that the reason why he could serve Zhang Yu was that in addition to being able to get things done every time, the most important thing was that his cultivation was superior to many of his peers.
Without cultivation methods, how could he accomplish anything?
In order to be able to follow Zhang Yu's footsteps closely, he had been diligently reading Dao books recently.
However, just as he was reading, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart. He put away the Dao books and walked out of the cave where he cultivated. He looked outside and saw that there was only an empty passage on both sides and the sound of waterfalls coming from outside.
At this moment, he felt that something was wrong. He turned around and saw that there was an extra person in the cave that he walked out of.
This person was dressed in a black robe and had golden-red eyes. The light in the cave was dim, but this person's existence made the surroundings even darker. Looking at him, his entire body seemed to have blended into the darkness.
Xu Chengtong looked and said, "Where did you come from, Your Excellency?"
Pang Li smiled strangely and said, "To take your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black gas surged outside and turned into countless tentacles that stretched out from inside. They grabbed Xu Chengtong and pulled fiercely, instantly tearing the terrified Xu Chengtong into pieces.
After doing this, Pang Li was quite surprised.
He was indeed confident that he could take down Xu Chengtong, but he did not think that things would be so simple. Then he found that after the broken limbs fell to the ground, they turned into pieces of fine white sand.
He could be sure that Xu Chengtong was here just now. Obviously, when he walked out of the cave, he was replaced by the white sand at some point.
Just as he was about to walk out, he found that he had hit an invisible barrier after taking two steps.
His expression changed, and he glanced around. "A formation?"
It turned out that this cave had already been filled with arrays. After Xu Chengtong went out, he was sealed inside!
Even if he got the secret method and was able to cross two levels, he could gain strength, but experience could not be made up for.
Xu Chengtong did not confront him head-on at all. He just played a little trick and trapped him.
He snorted, knowing that it was not good for him to resist at this moment. The black gas on his body dissipated, and his whole person turned into nothingness in an instant.
On a mound outside Auspicious Light City, a faint figure sat there cross-legged, but as time passed, it gradually condensed, and Pang Li's figure emerged.
After the reply, he stood up and looked in the direction of Mount Qi.
What he released just now was only a part of his strength. He was now more than half a chaos monster, and the part he lost could be made up by borrowing the big chaos.
It was just that the power of the big chaos was too much, which would bring more confusion and uncontrollable power. He needed to use secret methods and medicines to suppress and tame it.
He took out the bottle of pills that the cultivator in ancient clothes had just given him, poured out a few pills and swallowed them. After a while, the irritable aura on his body gradually calmed down.
Then his body shook, and another figure condensed by black gas flew out.
The previous failure was not because of the gap in strength, but because of experience. But this time he was prepared in advance, so he would not fail again.
