Chapter 106 Li Changshou Who Was Not Confident Enough

Below the isolation array formation in the forest, the orange-red fire rose into the sky. Amidst the flames, the six demon corpses were rapidly melting.

The flames rose hundreds of feet high and emitted heat waves. Spiritual energy spewed out and illuminated... Li Changshou’s listless eyes.

He raised his hands as if he were sensing the temperature of the True Flames. His heart, however, felt extremely chilly.

Ver

The three paper dolls turned into three people of different ages. They stood outside the fire and chanted sutras.

They were still chanting the Amitabha Sutra, the Salvation Sutra, and the Blessing Spell. They hit the wooden fish in their hands with a tool. The Soul-Suppressing Bell was swaying.

That place was 350 kilometers northwest of Anshui City, deep in a desolate valley.

He stopped the six demons and engaged in a bloody battle. He wasted some poisonous pills and killed them.

The paper effigy that Li Changshou had hidden under Anshui City, spread out his immortal senses to observe what was happening. Li Changshou was already having a headache since he found out that there were Magihumans in Xiong Village.

However, that matter was not unsolvable.

However, the sudden appearance of the dragons made it seem like they were going to fight, especially since Ao Yi was there...

That made Li Changshou more or less want to destroy all of that karma.

Impulsiveness was a demonic resistance. He could not mess around.

Li Changshou recited the Steadiness Sutra in his heart and quickly thought of a solution.

The most troublesome problem now was that Ao Yi knew him. The Sea God of the South Ocean and the Immortal Du Sect’s inferior immortal seedling Li Changshou would be connected to him.

The easiest way was to kill all of them.

However, that was also the crudest and unreliable method. It would result in the most karma, and it was handled too roughly.

He could not be anxious precisely because of what the situation was like now. He had to come up with a better solution in time.

Li Changshou was never one to sit around and wait for death.

It was his Little Aunt-Master, the Jiu Immortal’s habit to obtain victory while being impulsive. She had the protection of the “This is probably justice” aura.

If he was not strong enough and deliberately schemed against them, he would be walking on a tightrope... Li Changshou had always insisted on the principle of pursuing a life of stability which would produce wealth and longevity. That had already been ingrained in his mind. He did not want to take any risks.

The problem now was that he did not take the risk himself.

He was just standing there while risks were covering him layer by layer like rings of fire.

Li Changshou was actually rather glad that he had discovered the problem in time.

The members of the Dragon Palace should have been attracted by the Sea God Ceremony. It had nothing to do with Li Changshou’s appearance.

If Li Changshou did not turn up there, perhaps... he wouldn’t even know how he died!

“When I was repairing the array formation for Little Aunt-Master, I had a sudden impulse. I felt that something was about to happen, but now, I’ve come into contact with it.”

Li Changshou gradually came up with a plan in his heart. His mind started to operate at the same time.

His main body flew out of the Pill Chamber and towards the lake.

The ‘God’ paper effigy there continued to deal with the corpses. The ‘Heaven’ paper effigy, which was hiding under Anshui City, was ready to take action at any moment and take down the Dragon Palace.

The people in Anshui City had yet to start a complete battle, but both parties were already at each other’s throats.

When the members of the Dragon Palace first appeared, the village chief of Xiong Village looked timid, but he was shocked by them.

However, the old village chief saw that more than ten Immortal Flood Dragon troops had rushed down to destroy their Sea God’s statue...

To many mortals, cutting off one’s wealth was like killing their parents.

The old village chief of Xiong Village panicked. He shouted, “Hold them down!”

The twenty or so villagers beside him opened their mouths and spat out a wave of earth-colored light. It transformed into arms, legs, and the head of a ferocious god. All of them unleashed their abilities, causing the Immortal Flood Dragon troops to be stunned...

A few Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers were knocked to the ground. Seven to eight Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers were sent flying back, each injured.

A group of men swarmed forward and stopped the Immortal Flood Dragon troops that were left behind. Their fists and legs collided, and violent conflict ensued.

The witches had the ability to capture dragons and fight against phoenixes. Moreover, it was a natural mystical ability.

There were still more than a hundred thousand mortals present. The entire mountain was filled with the devotees of the Sea God Sect. When they saw the Divine Envoys display their might, they were excited.

At that moment, the scene was extremely chaotic. Many adults covered the eyes of children and told them not to look around...

Fortunately, there were no large-scale riots or stampedes. Ao Mou who was on the cloud was also scared by the fierceness of the Xiong Village Magihumans who caused him to retreat. He unknowingly stood behind Ao Yi...

Fortunately, the old village chief was still rational and shouted, “Don’t kill them!”

Only then did he save those few Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers that were almost torn apart.

In the forest, Li Changshou continued to roast some fire. He coughed and continued to deal with the corpses of the six demons.

When they were almost done chanting the sutras, the flames weakened.

A burly man in the form of a paper doll beside him took out his trumpet and raised his head to play a melody with a hint of sadness.

Another paper doll that transformed into a woman was reciting poems and burning some yellow paper to comfort her soul in the wilderness...

Li Changshou looked at his carefully-designed funeral service and smiled bitterly.

What is the use of ending this small karma?

I’ve not gotten myself embroiled with huge karma. If I do not handle it well, I will probably die.

However, he was still not forced into a dead end.

There was hope for everything. He still had a chance of survival, which could allow him to continue to seek stability...

He still had a chance to stabilize the situation.

Li Changshou squinted his eyes slightly and lifted his hand to blow away the pile of ashes in front of him. He felt slightly comfortable.

Due to the comfort, he had more thoughts.

With his hands behind his back, he started multitasking...

His immortal senses focused on the situation over there. The Immortal Flood Dragon troops were about to charge downwards when Ao Yi shouted, “Stop!” The old village chief of Xiong Village also shouted, “Let them go back!” Only then did a group of burly men from Xiong Village toss aside the few Immortal Flood Dragon troops, who had been held down and beaten up. The troops then flew back to the clouds with bruised faces and swollen faces...

Ao Yi seemed to have discovered something. He flew to the front of the statue and studied it carefully.

His delicate face was soon filled with shock.

There was not much time left for Li Changshou... “Then, take the initiative and attack.”

Li Changshou took a deep breath. There was only determination in his eyes. He focused on multitasking and getting everything to work simultaneously!

In the forest deep in the valley, the paper effigy crawled underground and rushed towards Anshui City.

The paper effigy under Anshui City had already stealthily reached the bottom of the statue, ready to unleash its immortal powers at any moment.

At the same time, on Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, in the straw hut by the lake.

Li Changshou got his junior sister Lan Ling’e to join him and woke his master who had unknowingly fallen asleep during cultivation.

Then, Li Changshou activated the array formation in the straw hut, lifted the hem of his Daoist robe, and knelt in front of his master. Ling’e and Qi Yuan were shocked...

“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

Ling’e panicked.

She had never seen her senior brother having such a solemn expression. Even when the sect suffered a calamity previously, her senior brother had always been calm.

Qi Yuan frowned and said, “Changshou, if you have something to say, just say it.”

“Master, I’m sorry.” Li Changshou lowered his head and said, “Today, I have caused huge karma. I might implicate Master and Ling’e in the future. If this matter gets exposed one day, and an expert wants to kill me, please, Master, and Ling’e... Don’t bother about me.” Qi Yuan quickly said, “Changshou, don’t scare me. Aren’t you fine?” “Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

Ling’e hurriedly walked forward and knelt beside Li Changshou. She grabbed Li Changshou’s arm and her eyes turned red. “Don’t say that. Can’t we hide at the ends of the earth?”

“There’s nowhere to hide this time.”

Li Changshou shook his head and sighed. “Master, Junior Sister, there’s not much time left. You guys, agree first.”

Qi Yuan let out a long sigh with a warm smile on his face.

The old Daoist priest smiled and said, “If you get into trouble, how can I not care?”

Li Changshou’s face grew gloomy. “If I don’t handle this properly, I might implicate the Zenith Heaven and the sect.

“There might be countless karma and terrible consequences.”

Qi Yuan smiled again. “I’m just a Turbid Immortal. Why should I be afraid?”

“Master!”

Li Changshou’s heart warmed up, and his eyes flickered. “Hey, disciple!”

Qi Yuan raised his hand and patted Li Changshou’s shoulder lightly. Instantly, the straw hut became much warmer.

Ling’e, on the other hand, blinked.

If? Perhaps?

Ling’e asked softly, “Senior Brother, have you... not done it yet?”

Li Changshou nodded and said, “That’s right. I’m about to do it.”

*Coughs* “You!”

Qi Yuan’s aura surged. He raised his horsetail whisk and was about to hit him. “You haven’t done it yet! Why are you shouting here?!”

Li Changshou’s figure flashed backward and he revealed a smile.

“To be safe, I decided to inform Master and Junior Sister before I do it. If anything happens later, you don’t have to care about me. Master, you can just expel me from the sect and cut off all ties with me. Master, I’ll take it that you’ve agreed. I’ll go back now. I can’t be distracted.”

After saying that, Li Changshou turned around and was about to fly back to the Pill Chamber. Qi Yuan hesitated, but Lingle hurriedly chased after him.

“Senior Brother! Are you confident this time?”

Li Changshou did not even turn his head. Instead, he said, “Not really.”

Ling’e quickly asked, “How confident are you, exactly?”

“About eighty-five percent.”

Li Changshou sighed and disappeared into the forest.

Ling’e also frowned. Eighty-five percent confidence is indeed not much...

“Huh?”

Ling’e blinked.

She felt that something was wrong with her thoughts, but she could not replace the root of the problem.

When he returned to the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou activated the various Bewitching Array Formations, Trapping Array Formations, concealment arrays, and warning arrays. He also hung up the Sensing Stones.

A fire was set up in the Pill Furnace, and the paper dolls were guarding it. The scene of Anshui City surfaced in his mind.

The battle between the people and the dragons was already ready to begin.

At that moment, Ao Yi had completely recognized the Sea God’s statue. He looked hesitant, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Li Changshou cast the Smoke Escape technique and delved into the ground. He walked through the stone path, pushed open the wooden door, and sat in the circular chair behind the desk in the secret underground chamber.

Come on.

Victory or defeat!

In an instant, Li Changshou made up his mind. His thoughts cleared up and he analyzed the situation that might happen next.

His current crisis was that the Sea God’s identity was about to be exposed.

Ao Yi could not kill him directly. If he killed him, he would incur the wrath of the dragon race...

In addition, the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect were Magihumans. The experts of the Western Sect were already going to deal with the Sea God Sect...

In front of Li Changshou, there seemed to be swaying ropes. Only one of them was safe. If he held onto it, he could continue climbing up the path to immortality.

The other ropes would be dragged down with force... and he would be dealt with by knives and poison...

The ropes swayed, but Li Changshou felt a sense of peace in his heart. He smiled.

It was as if he had already grabbed one of them...

“Since I can’t come up with any ideas previously, I’ll try to change my train of thought.”

Li Changshou took the initiative to sense it. Following the incense, he quickly sent a wisp of his attention to the outside of the Peace City on the South Ocean. At that moment, a large amount of merit from incense offerings were gathered on the statue.

At the same time, outside Anshui City.

Ao Yi kept looking at the statue’s face. He had already recognized it to be “Brother Changshou”. While he was shocked, he had many thoughts.

Why did Brother Changshou become the Sea God of the South Ocean?

Is this... a plan hatched by the Ren School?

But why is it a disciple like Brother Changshou who had yet to become an immortal?

Although Brother Changshou is very outstanding, gentle, and refined, ultimately... Suddenly, Ao Yi was stunned.

Ao Yi felt that the statue seemed to have come alive and had a hint of spirituality.

Below, the burly men from Xiong Village had already discussed. All of them glared at the clouds, determined to defend the Sea God’s honor.

At that moment, Ao Mou had already made up his mind. He immediately wanted the Immortal Flood Dragon troops to kill and teach the South Ocean Sea God Sect a lesson.

However, something unexpected happened!

There was a slight tremor from the ground. The two-feet-tall stone statue swayed and slowly rose into the sky. Immortal light surrounded it, and the forehead of the statue flickered!

A faint chant sounded from the statue...

Those phenomena were naturally caused by the paper effigy underground. The people from the Dragon Palace looked at each other.

All the mortal devotees in the mountain range bowed in unison. The oldest was a woman in her eighties while the youngest was a teenage girl. They all looked extremely excited. Just as Ao Yi was about to speak, a voice transmission entered his ears...

“Brother Yi, how much do you know about the current predicament of the dragon race?”

Ao Yi was stunned whilst on the cloud.
