Inside the Li family's ancestral hall.
Gu Xuan and the Venerable of Pills were still having a private meeting.
Looking at the Venerable of Pills' old face, Gu Xuan felt for the first time that the Venerable of Pills was easy to get along with.
It was a very strange feeling.
Before this, Gu Xuan had never thought that he and the Venerable of Pills, the Ying Heaven Sect and the Li family, could reconcile.
The two sides had clearly reached a point where they would fight to the death.
But the affairs of the world were often so strange.
Although it was because of real benefits, they had indeed reconciled.
And it could be foreseen that the two sides would get closer and closer from now on.
As long as Gu Xuan was willing, the entire Li family could become a branch of the Ying Heaven Sect.
Gu Xuan naturally wouldn't do that.
Even if it was an enemy, he would do his best to fulfill his promises.
In fact, Gu Xuan admired the Venerable of Pills' foresight.
The Venerable of Pills' view of him was that he didn't lose anything in the big picture, but he lost something in the small details.
But his view of the Venerable of Pills was not so accurate.
Gu Xuan felt that the Venerable of Pills of the past and the Venerable of Pills of the present were, in a sense, two different people.
At least, the current Venerable of Pills wouldn't snort or glare at him when he didn't agree. He would only smile faintly and ignore him.
Therefore, Gu Xuan didn't ask about the so-called truth about the Burning Sky Realm and the Heavenly Law in the Pill Saint's Heart.
At the mention of this topic, the Venerable of Pills smiled like a Buddha, almost holding a flower in his hand.
In the end, Gu Xuan could only give up and stop worrying about this issue. Instead, he asked about the current situation in the Li family's ancestral land.
After hearing this, Gu Xuan couldn't help but gasp.
The danger in the Li family's ancestral land was unbelievably great.
If he hadn't come, all those who were loyal to the Li family in the Li family's ancestral land would probably have died. There was no way they could have survived.
There were at least four Great Perfection experts in the Wu family's ancestral land.
Three of them were the first elder of the Li family and the two deputy patriarchs of the Li family.
The three of them had held high positions in the Li Clan. When the devils had invaded the Li Clan, they'd activated the most powerful entrapment spell formation in the ancestral land. Only then had they revealed their true intentions and come to the Li Clan's ancestral hall to cause trouble for the Paragon of Pills.
In the end, the Paragon of Pills expended some of her longevity to seriously injure all three of them, then shoved them out of the Li Clan's ancestral hall.
However, that so-called heavy injury did not count for anything at all in the Li Family where alchemists were everywhere.
In at most one day, they would be able to recover and make a comeback.
As for the Heavenly Dao camp, they had also sent three Great Perfection cultivators to infiltrate the Li family's ancestral land.
As for the other three, they had gone to Pill Sage's tomb, where the Paragon of Pills had consumed some of her longevity to activate the restrictive spells in the tomb.
Very soon, they would most likely make a comeback.
As for the Fiend Race, there were still two Paragons left. Gu Xuan was also aware of this point.
However, there was one thing that the Paragon of Pills had deduced, something that Gu Xuan was completely unaware of.
A great circle demon was setting up an altar in the Li Family's ancestral land.
The altar's power was growing stronger and stronger.
If it wasn't destroyed in time, the Fiend Race, with only two Great Perfection cultivators left, would become the strongest faction in the Li Family's ancestral land! After hearing this, Gu Xuan's expression turned grave as he fell into deep thought.
After a while, he looked at the Paragon of Pills with an odd expression.
"Why is it that every time you attack, aside from expending your lifespan, you're still expending it?
No wonder you're running out of fuel so quickly.
Can't you do something that doesn't consume your lifespan? "
The Paragon of Pills' mood had already been heavy, but Gu Xuan's words only made it worse.
"I want to, but there's no other way, is there?
My martial dao realm is only at the peak of the Great Perfection Realm.
If I want to fight a Great Perfection cultivator, won't I have to use the Pill Sage's power?
You know that I'm a fake Pill Sage at best. The source of my power is the Pill Sage's Heart.
If I want to use the Pill Sage's Heart, my attainments in pills aren't enough. Do I have to pay a price?
Apart from essence blood, isn't that just my lifespan?
Look at me, all skin and bones. How much essence blood do you think I have?
Apart from expending my lifespan, what else can I do? "
Gu Xuan sighed, expressing his sympathy for the Paragon of Pills.
Indeed, apart from expending his lifespan, what else did this old man, his cheap senior brother, have?
Nothing at all! Gu Xuan felt some sympathy for the old man.
"That's the gist of the situation.
In short, apart from the Li Ancestral Hall, nowhere else is safe.
Fortunately, we have an advantage, and that's me! If they want to kill me and take the Pill Sage's Heart, they have to come to the Li Ancestral Hall.
As long as I'm in the Li Ancestral Hall, I can still fight them. "
Gu Xuan frowned and rested his chin on his hand.
"Unfortunately, your lifespan is only about five days.
If they were to stay in the ancestral ground for five days, your so-called advantage would be gone.
We have to deal with the Li Family's troubles in these five days.
There's also an even worse situation that you haven't thought of. "
The Paragon of Pills' expression changed.
"There's an even worse situation?
Is there a fourth faction hiding in the Ancestral Hall? "
Gu Xuan slowly shook his head.
"No, if there's a fourth faction, it's me.
What I'm worried about is that the demons, the Desolate Lands, and the Heavenly Law Faction will join forces! If that's the case, our enemies will be the nine great perfection cultivators who are temporarily on the same side! What do you think our chances of victory are? "
The Paragon of Pills' expression turned ugly.
After a long while, he squeezed out a smile.
"That's unlikely, right?
The Desolate Lands and the Heavenly Law Faction might join forces.
But why would they join forces with the demons of the outside world?
They're enemies! "
Gu Xuan pointed at the Paragon of Pills, then at himself.
"Enemies in the face of benefits?
Besides, do the Heavenly Law Faction have a lower limit?
Do the Desolate Lands have a lower limit? "
"No," the Paragon of Pills said gravely.
"They should have no lower limit."
Gu Xuan spread his hands.
"Then isn't it settled?
The demons have even less of a lower limit.
What's so strange about their alliance coming to kill you, the Pill Sage?
Won't it be much easier to fight for the Pill Sage's Heart after killing you?
We can't wait any longer while you can still exert some of your remaining strength.
Otherwise, if you die, I'll have to fight nine alone. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
We have to take the initiative to attack! "
The Paragon of Pills pondered for a moment, seemingly disagreeing.
"But I can't leave the ancestral hall."
Gu Xuan chuckled.
"That's not important. Didn't you just say that my cheap future disciple is in seclusion right now, preparing to advance to the great perfection realm?
Hurry up and send someone to call him over.
Let's prepare well and put on a big show to force that group of idiots to come! "
The Paragon of Pills' eyes lit up.
"Oh?
You have a plan so soon?
Tell me quickly. If it's feasible, then we'll do as you say! "
The corners of Gu Xuan's mouth curved slightly.
"As an old expert in scheming, I still have a way to lure a few idiots over.
Listen well, I'll only say it once … "Gu Xuan explained his plan. The Paragon of Pills' eyes lit up.
"Wonderful! As expected, wonderful! This way, as long as they're enemies, they'll definitely be drawn over.
When the time comes, I'll take them all down even if I have to risk my life! "
The Paragon of Pills' eyes flashed with killing intent!
