#357 - The cards are frequently dealt
Hearing this, Zhan Wusi kowtowed violently, tears streaming down his face, "Fellow Daoist Li, if I can avenge this, I will die without regret.
My life is like a candle in the wind, with no hope of advancement. The late stage of Foundation Establishment is my end.
Furthermore, because my foundation is unstable and my soul is damaged, my strength is declining day by day, and every day is torment. As long as you can help me avenge, I will have no regrets in this life."
Li Chengfeng chuckled, a playful look flashing in his eyes, "The matter of Qiu Yunhe is as easy as pie. You should know my methods.
Since you are willing to cooperate, I will naturally not treat you badly. But after it is done, the Qingyun Sect will surely use the excuse that you are practicing demonic arts and harming the people to push you to the execution ground to appease public anger.
This is their usual trick, you should be aware of it."
Zhan Wusi smiled bitterly with helplessness, and uttered his heartfelt voice with difficulty, "How could I not know? It's just that I am just a pawn at the mercy of the big shots, and my destiny is no longer up to me."
Li Chengfeng's doppelganger heard this, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He casually threw out a flame battle flag and landed at Zhan Wusi's feet.
"I'll give you a chance. There are already 10,000 young boys and girls hidden in this battle flag. Remember to prepare some ordinary farmers' clothes to make them look real enough for you to hand over a portion every day and gather what is needed within a month. You only need to do as I say, no need to ask more."
Zhan Wusi tremblingly took the battle flag. The majestic power flowing on it made his legs weak and his heart was horrified.
"Don't worry, my lord, I... I understand."
She pretended to be calm, but her heart was surging.
Li Chengfeng could actually predict the actions of the Qingyun Sect and had prepared young boys and girls in advance. The calculations and methods behind this were chilling.
"Then... Fellow Daoist Li, when can you take action against Qiu Yunhe?" Zhan Wusi mustered up his courage and asked the question in his heart.
Li Chengfeng smiled indifferently, "When you complete the task I have given you, Qiu Yunhe will surely die.
I, Li Chengfeng, although bearing a bad name, will keep my word. You can rest assured."
Zhan Wusi nodded in agreement, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
He knew that he had embarked on a path of no return, but compared to bearing the stigma of a traitor, he would rather avenge his son before he died.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Li, I will act according to your instructions. Anyway, I will die sooner or later. If I can take this opportunity to do something good, it will not be in vain."
She smiled relievedly, her eyes flashing with determination.
Li Chengfeng's death substitute didn't say much, his figure unfolded, turned into a whirlwind, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Zhan Wusi clenched his fists, stared at the flame battle flag in his hand, and gritted his teeth and said: "Qiu Yunhe, you never dreamed that I came not to take Li Chengfeng's life, but to join hands with him,
To send you to a place of eternal doom! I vow to avenge my son, my son Xue Wenlong died so miserably!"
As early as when Li Chengfeng went to Blackwater Swamp, he secretly let Li Chengfeng's second substitute drive the carriage, carrying a mother and daughter straight to Qinghai City.
Back then, in order to ensure their safety, Li Chengfeng specially sent this substitute away from the place of right and wrong. It was not until today that he set foot on the edge of Qinghai City to plan another grand plan.
Ye Biyan and her son have lived a life of traveling for several years, and today they see the light of day again, and their joy is beyond words.
Li Chengfeng's death substitute pointed to the towering city in front of him, and smiled: "Look, your sister Ye Bitong is now a prominent figure in Qinghai City, the master of Xiaoqingshan, and a high disciple of Qingyun Old Ancestor. It's hard to see her!"
Immediately, he suggested not to enter the city in a hurry, but to correspond by letter to explore the situation.
After all, on the road of cultivating immortals, feelings gradually fade away, and only profit is sought.
Ye Biyan said humbly: "Senior's great kindness, we will keep it in mind.
This trip is only to help the adults obtain the Nine Profound Panlong Array, and we will definitely not disgrace our mission."
Li Chengfeng smiled indifferently: "You and I both know what your sister's scale is in her heart.
Don't mention old feelings when you meet, just talk about the deal.
Once you enter the Immortal Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and all old worldly feelings can be discarded. The lower part of the Nine Profound Panlong Array is already here, you should keep it and give it to your sister Ye Bitong when the time is ripe."
Ye Biyan took the secret book, shocked and suspicious: "Senior, such a precious thing, easily handed over, wouldn't it be a loss?"
Li Chengfeng smiled without saying a word, and only said: "What is true is false and what is false is true, you just do as I say.
I have set up a teleportation array in a secret place outside the city, so that if something unexpected happens, I can retreat completely."
Ye Biyan was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
Wang Fei, who was on the side, witnessed all this, and his eyes were full of respect and contemplation.
Along the way, under the guidance of Li Chengfeng's death substitute, he read widely and his mind gradually matured, and he was no longer the Amon of Wu under the old days.
Li Chengfeng acted like the wind, and as the flying sword danced, a secret cave suddenly appeared in the sound of swooshing.
Immediately afterwards, he skillfully laid out a series of demon clan formations. These formations were extraordinary. Instead of using spiritual power as a guide, they borrowed the power of gravity and used the subtle changes in the earth's magnetic field to construct traps that were difficult to defend against.
He knew that his opponent was proficient in magic formations, so this arrangement was intended to confuse the public, win by surprise, and ensure that nothing went wrong, at least to protect himself and retreat completely.
While busy, Li Chengfeng did not forget to let Wang Fei observe and learn from the side. At the same time, he also cleverly used the emotional bond between Ye Biyan's mother and daughter as a strategy.
Although this family card seems weak, he has another wonderful plan in his heart, so that the mother and daughter can also play a key role in the upcoming duel.
Li Chengfeng knew that if it were not for this carefully planned plan, the mother and son might have been arranged by him elsewhere, so as to avoid being involved in this complicated dispute in the world of cultivating immortals, especially to avoid them from suffering the pain of betrayal by their relatives again.
Seven days passed in a hurry, and the inside and outside of the cave were as solid as gold, mysterious and unpredictable.
Looking at everything in front of him, Li Chengfeng smiled at Wang Fei: "In these seven days, you have gained a lot. In the future, I will send you to a distant country to practice with peace of mind. Remember, stay away from sectarian disputes to protect your life."
After saying that, he used a secret method to make a one-time sound transmission talisman, cleverly intercepted a casual cultivator, gave him spirit stones, and asked him to send the sound transmission talisman to Xiaoqingshan, and then waited for the opportunity.
— — — —
In Xiaoqingshan, Qinghai City, Li Chengfeng's deity finally appeared after ten days of seclusion, but his appearance changed drastically, with disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, and chapped lips. He lost his former chicness.
He strode out of the cultivation place, and Ma Bao hurriedly stepped forward to inquire with concern: "Senior, what's wrong with you? Do you need me to ask the immortal doctor to come and treat you immediately?"
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly at Ma Bao, with a bit of detachment in his expression: "It's okay, I have insight into the world and have some understanding."
He patted Ma Bao on the shoulder and smiled: "Perhaps, I can guide you on a bright path. Go and tell the mountain master that I have mastered all the keys."
As he said that, Li Chengfeng took out a jade slip and handed it to Ma Bao: "This is my experience of drawing micro-arrays, you should keep it and give it to the mountain master.
As for me, I need to tidy up my appearance first, this appearance is really indecent."
After handing the things to Ma Bao, he turned around and returned to the secret room.
Ma Bao, as Li Chengfeng's "servant" who was monitoring him, was actually very shrewd. With the cultivation of the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was hiding in Xiaoqingshan, and his talent was extraordinary. Ma Bao contacted Ye Bitong through a sound transmission talisman.
Ye Bitong called him into the hall, and Ma Bao excitedly reported: "Mountain Master, Senior Li has left the seclusion, not only has his cultivation greatly improved, but he has also compiled his experience!
It's just that his current appearance is really distressing, he looks like a tramp."
Ye Bitong took the jade slip and swept it with her spiritual sense, and a look of amazement flashed in her eyes: "What a genius! It seems that my plan has to be advanced."
She laughed a few times, and then ordered Ma Bao: "Take good care of Senior, and report any needs to me immediately. I need to convene a meeting immediately to discuss follow-up countermeasures."
After saying that, Ye Bitong left in a hurry.
Ma Bao turned around to return, but suddenly stopped, his face changed drastically, as if he had noticed something unusual.
