Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 118 The Sect Master of the Longevity Sect

A sense of panic permeated the crowd.

In just six months, two Foundation Establishment cultivators died and one was seriously injured.

Of course, Chen Li admitted that he had also been involved, and was even very likely the fuse that caused the fragile situation that was barely maintained to deteriorate rapidly in the past six months, to the point that it almost came to blows.

"Sigh, do we have to run away again?" Chen Li thought to himself.

But where are they going?
Throughout the entire Longevity Domain, there are either rebellious Foundation Establishment families or the Longevity Sect.

As for returning to Green River Lane?
Nearly two years have passed, and the situation there is probably worse and more dangerous now.

It has even... disappeared.

"Let's take it one step at a time and see how things go first."

Moreover, he is no longer as weak as he used to be; he can now fight against even ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

No matter how bad the situation gets, we can simply deal with whatever comes our way.

As long as you stay out of the limelight and keep a low profile, you should be able to get through this safely.

He's been living like this since he came into this world, and he's gotten used to it.

Zhou Hong also walked out the door, followed by Zhang Shuniang, who took Chen Li's arm.

He gently patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

Just then, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with a layer of yellow light, and the air near the yellow light became distorted.

Chen Li looked up.

This was the first time he had seen the city's protective array activated at full power since he moved to Luanluo City.

Looking at this grand formation,
His heart skipped a beat.

My subconscious thought was:

Will the underground tunnel I dug myself still allow me to leave the city?
At this moment, a figure flew out, hovering in mid-air, his face ashen, and shouted sharply:

"The Longevity Sect is searching for the perpetrators. Everyone, return to your rooms and are forbidden from going out. Wait for verification, or you will be killed without mercy!"

His voice boomed like thunder, filled with barely suppressed anger, and clearly reached everyone's ears, causing their eardrums to ache. It was obvious that he had used sonic techniques.

The city's protective formation has an anti-air effect, but this obviously does not include the Longevity Sect, which holds the authority over the formation.

In an instant, the entire city of Luanluo fell silent, and all the scattered cultivators still on the streets hurriedly retreated like a receding tide.

"Shuniang, come back quickly!" Zhang Yan heard the noise and rushed out of the house.

"Uncle, Aunt Zhou! I'm going back now," Zhang Shuniang said anxiously.

"Well, go back."

After Zhang Shuniang was led away by Zhang Yan, Chen Li and Zhou Hong also returned home.

In a short while, the entire street was deserted.

"The anger of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is terrifying..." Zhou Hong closed the door, still feeling lingering fear: "Those people are really bold to dare to carry out an assassination in Luanluo City. Counting the words of the Zhou family patriarch, this is the second time. This time, the Changsheng Sect will probably not let it go."

Chen Li: ...

He even suspected that the woman was making veiled attacks.

……

Chen Li placed the five storage bags in the basement, then carefully sealed the entrance, closed the door, and waited for the people from the Longevity Sect to come and search.

A few hours later.

A loud shout came from the sky: "Still trying to escape? Li Zhaolong, it's you! You ungrateful wretch! Without the Longevity Sect, you wouldn't be where you are today!"

"Hahaha, now that I've been discovered, I'm just going to die. Huang Xiaohan, you old codger, you say I'm ungrateful, but what good are you? For so many years I've been a slave to the Longevity Sect, and everything I've received is what I deserve... You broke the ceasefire agreement without authorization and ordered your disciples to slaughter my people. This is revenge!"

"Nonsense, slander, you're asking for death!"

The next moment, a series of explosions rang out, like muffled thunder.

Chen Li forced himself not to go out. The entire battle was quite short, lasting only a dozen seconds before it completely subsided.

"Guards! Hang the corpse on the city wall and leave it exposed for three days! Let this be a warning; this is the fate of those who offend my Longevity Sect!"

This man named Huang Xiaohan is probably the sect leader of the Longevity Sect, Chen Li thought to himself.

Martial law was lifted quickly.

"I'm going outside to take a look!"

Chen Li informed Zhou Hong and went outside. The street was bustling with people and quite lively.

When we arrived at the city gate, it was already crowded with people.

A corpse with its head smashed and a large hole in its chest was hung at the city gate.

have to say.

Foundation Establishment cultivators possess truly formidable vitality.

The corpse is still twitching and swaying in mid-air.

……

a few days later.

Chen Li visited the Yu family patriarch once again.

The courtesy and hospitality remain unchanged.

"I see that you are full of energy and spirit, and there are faint fluctuations of spiritual power around you. You must be about to establish your foundation!" Half a year has passed since I last saw him. He seems to have aged a bit, and his spirit is also a bit weak. He looks a little haggard.

"I couldn't hide it from your discerning eyes, senior. I only recently reached the ninth level of Qi Refining." Chen Li said respectfully, taking the opportunity to ask, "I'm completely clueless about Foundation Establishment. Is there anything I should be aware of?"

“Foundation Building!” Yu Cheng thought for a moment and smiled kindly, “Actually, I’ve only gone through it once, so I don’t have much experience to share. You just need to remember the right time, place, and people. Don’t force Foundation Building; it’s best to let it happen naturally. When your cultivation level reaches a certain point, the Foundation Building opportunity will be triggered naturally. Of course, Foundation Building Pills are indispensable.”

Chen Li quickly thanked him, and then said, "I heard that once you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, you will inexplicably encounter natural disasters and man-made calamities."

"These are all just rumors. Everyone has their own experience and opinion. If you think it's true, then it is; if you think it's not, then it isn't."

Most Qi Refining cultivators, once they reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, begin to busy themselves with Foundation Establishment, running around every day to earn spirit stones. Many even take risks for this. How can one avoid trouble when one walks the dark roads so often? Yu Cheng said with a hint of disapproval in his words.

Chen thought this made sense; if Bai Jinwang hadn't been a bounty hunter, taking on all sorts of missions, how could he have encountered danger?

“What’s more, given the current situation!” Yu Cheng sighed and continued, “When war breaks out, human life is as worthless as grass. No matter if you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Golden Core cultivator, you can die in an instant. Who knows how many people will die this time.”

"Aren't you planning to leave, senior?" Chen Li asked.

"Sigh, I can't walk anymore! These old bones of mine don't have many years left anyway. I guess this is to accumulate some good karma for the good-for-nothing descendants. I don't know if this decision is right or wrong," Yu Cheng said with a wry smile.

……

the next day.

morning.

The spring rain is continuous and fine as silk.

Chen Li held a teacup in his hands, looking at the misty sky.

He suddenly turned to Zhou Hong, who was busy in the inner room, and said, "We're moving tomorrow!"

"Where to go?"

"At the foot of the mountain!"

Since the assassination of the elder of the Longevity Sect, Luanluo City has suddenly become much quieter, no longer as lively as before. Many people have moved out of the city and settled at the foot of the mountain. As the saying goes, "ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring," which is clearly the way of survival for the local rogue cultivators.

Although Luanluo City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has a protective formation, it is also a prison. In the event of war, one might even be caught up in it. Living at the foot of the mountain, on the other hand, one can leave whenever one senses danger.

"Alright, shall we invite Fellow Daoist Zhang and his family?"

"I'll go ask about it later!"
