Poverty

Chapter 1906 The Mastermind
Li Yanchu looked at the hot potato that had landed in his hands. He wanted to take it away, but he was worried about the endless trouble that would follow. He was also reluctant to leave this powerful weapon behind.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yanchu used his Void Creation technique to create an octagonal lantern and placed the head inside.

He dared not place this head in his own Dao landscape or universe, for the slightest carelessness would bring catastrophic disaster.

He didn't dare carry it on his back.

He was carrying an octagonal lantern, simple and elegant, and the neatly arranged human heads inside fit quite well.

He thought for a moment. Bai Junwu had been severely injured in today's battle, and this was a good opportunity.

But he himself is also seriously injured, which is indeed a troublesome matter. If two people with low health clash, he may not be able to beat them.

After much deliberation, Li Yanchu decided to make a trip to the old land to find Bai Junwu's whereabouts first.

He was very careful on his way to the old land. No one would dare to be careless when carrying such a dangerous object.

Li Yanchu was in the same boat. He searched for Bai Junwu's whereabouts and kept using the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to trace the karmic entanglement between him and Bai Junwu. However, every time he went there, Bai Junwu severed the connection.

Li Yanchu's eyes grew brighter.

“Severing the cause and effect also means that he was indeed seriously injured and had reached a dead end.”

Li Yanchu concluded that it was impossible to let him return to his old homeland. Otherwise, with many people protecting him and various formations and restrictions around him, it would be difficult to deal with him again.

Li Yanchu felt nothing but hatred for the leaders of these forces in the Great Void, all of whom were short-sighted.

Li Yanchu couldn't help but curse a few times, and he kept trying to track down Bai Junwu's whereabouts.

Bai Junwu naturally sensed something. This time, he was seriously injured. With his cultivation level, no one could match him, but he was also unable to suppress the heroes in this vast void on his own. He was injured after Li Yanchu broke the balance.

At this moment, he was somewhat agitated. Just now, people kept tracking him with the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, but he cut them all off with a wave of his hand.

He knew that this might make him appear weak, but if others found out clearly, he wouldn't be able to fake a complete victory.

Bai Junwu was also calculating in his mind that his pursuers might think more deeply when they saw that he had cut off all contact, and might even think that he was luring them over, which would make them more hesitant.

Bai Junwu was quite satisfied with what he thought of, but then he thought about Li Yanchu... Just thinking about Li Yanchu's cold face and his decisive nature, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"Forget it, if it's him, we have no choice but to fight him head-on. He won't care if it's a trap or not."

It's quite dramatic to see a genius with unparalleled wisdom encounter a hothead who's always looking for revenge. And to make matters worse, he's driven to a dead end by this ruthless killer, making things really difficult.

Li Yanchu dared to pursue Bai Junwu even with his remaining health depleted, thanks in no small part to the heads Bai Junwu had taken.

He studied the structure of the head the whole way, but the powerful aura emanating from it terrified him.
Several times I thought about just throwing the head away; carrying this thing around is too dangerous.

Li Yanchu is now seriously injured and is being extremely careful.

While searching for Bai Junwu's whereabouts, he tried to understand the profound truth contained within the white-haired man's head.

However, this Great Dao was too profound for him to comprehend. On the contrary, the structure of some Daos of Annihilation gave him a deeper understanding of this Dao.

Moreover, observing the head of the Primordial Realm up close was also very beneficial to Li Yanchu. He couldn't learn it by rote, but secretly learning from it would still be of some benefit.

Bai Junwu is undoubtedly the most adept at concealment in the history of this Great Void. Although he was injured this time, he wiped away all traces of himself.

But before he knew it, he suddenly saw a large mountain appear in front of him, blocking his way.

Someone lifted up a huge mountain, a mountain that seemed to span the entire universe, so vast and boundless, and it appeared out of thin air before him.

Bai Junwu frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

Once the light emanating from that person subsided, Bai Junwu could finally see that it was none other than the Dragon Ancestor, the one who had angered him the most.

Bai Junwu said, "It's you! You certainly know how to pick your time."

He originally thought that only a bloodthirsty bastard like Li Yanchu would chase after him recklessly, but he didn't expect to have overlooked a Dragon Ancestor.

The Dragon Ancestor wasn't the type to hold grudges; he was just an opportunist who would seize any opportunity to kick someone when they were down.

The Dragon Ancestor said, "I can't rest easy until you die. I've really offended you this time. Is it too late for me to try to make amends with you now?"

Bai Junwu said expressionlessly, "What do you think?"

That damned Dragon Ancestor!
He was already badly injured, yet now he's pretending to be all high and mighty by making these sarcastic remarks.

Not wanting to upset the Dragon Ancestor, he glared at him and slowly increased his cultivation level.

Long Zu said, “Brother Dao, when Shao Hongjun was still alive, although I fought against him, I didn’t have to worry too much. Firstly, his strength couldn’t suppress me. Secondly, although he was ambitious and decisive, he also had some bottom line. As you know, what I fear most is encountering someone like him who has no bottom line.”

He talked on and on, going on and on, which gave Bai Junwu a headache.

Bai Junwu said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

The Dragon Ancestor rubbed his hands together and said, "People like you have no bottom line. I don't know what kind of things people like you will do, so once you offend someone, you have to eliminate them completely."

Bai Junwu said, "If you're going to do something, do it quickly, and stop talking nonsense here."

The Dragon Ancestor laughed and said, "You're right. Even if I let you return to the old imperial capital, I might not be able to kill you."

His smile vanished, and suddenly he struck out with a palm, instantly unleashing an immense and overwhelming aura.

The Dragon Ancestor's palm strike was violent, his blood and qi surging to the heavens, and the entire universe seemed to be burned red by this blood and qi.

He then unleashed a full-force attack, and Bai Junwu immediately met it with a palm strike.

Even now, Bai Junwu was no match for him. The Dragon Ancestor was still sent flying by Bai Junwu's attack.

To be honest, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Dao King realm, but Bai Junwu was clearly a level above him.

Therefore, after being repelled by the attack, the Dragon Ancestor left without looking back.

Bai Junwu's expression remained unchanged as he sneered, "Why not continue? Are you going to be a coward?"

The Dragon Ancestor laughed and said, "There will be successors."

Bai Junwu frowned slightly, but not long after, the group suddenly appeared. They were riding on an ancient spaceship, which was very large and full of soldiers, each of whom was extremely brave and looked like a powerful army.

Bai Junwu was initially worried by Long Zu's words that there would be successors, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw the troops of the old land headquarters.

Standing on the ship were the six kings of the old land. Among them, the King of Changping said, "Welcome back to the city, Your Majesty."

Bai Junwu was about to move forward, but suddenly his expression changed slightly, revealing the twenty-four divine generals hidden among them.

The Prince of Guangping, one of the six princes, said with a smile, "Your Majesty truly has discerning eyes; you are indeed the greatest emperor in the history of our ancient land."

Bai Junwu frowned slightly: "Do you all intend to rebel?"

The Prince of Guangping said, "If you can sit on this throne, then others can too." At this moment, the six princes suddenly joined forces to attack Bai Junwu.

Bai Junwu's expression changed slightly, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. He never expected to be betrayed by his subordinates. With his prestige, no one in the entire Old Land could match him.

Although the Six Kings were promoted by Shao Hongjun, they later expressed their allegiance to him. However, they were the first to jump out now.

After the six kings came the twenty-four divine generals, and these powerful figures joined forces to attack Bai Junwu.

Normally, they would be no match for Bai Junwu, but now, with the six kings, the twenty-four divine generals, and a ship full of soldiers, even Bai Junwu was immediately injured.

His injuries worsened, and blood began to flow continuously from many places, causing his life to fade considerably.

After forcing the six kings and twenty-four divine generals to retreat, he fled again, and the six kings and twenty-four divine generals did not pursue him.

This is all they can do to deal with such a legendary figure.

Bai Junwu continued to flee forward, moving extremely fast through the void.

Suddenly, another ancient spaceship appeared; it was an old ship from the Earth.

Bai Junwu's expression was solemn at this moment.

A man and a woman were standing on the boat; they were the Imperial Preceptor and the Grand Tutor.

Shang Rongjun said coldly, "Those who usurp the throne rarely have a good end; they bring about their own destruction. This time, I'm afraid they will not be able to return to their old lands."

Bai Junwu acted as if he were seeing them for the first time.
"Shao Hongjun was murdered, and I sought justice for him and took over the business he left behind. How dare you turn against me?"

Gu Xiuyuan said in an icy tone, "His Majesty and I met when we were young, and we talked about you more than once. His Majesty also said that you are either a great villain or a great villain."

Bai Junwu's lips twitched. He had thought he would get a good review, but instead, he received nothing but negative comments.

Bai Junwu said coldly, "What's the difference?"

Gu Xiuyuan said, "There's no difference. What I mean is that you've never been a good person from beginning to end."

He and Shang Rongjun then joined forces to attack, and a group of experts around them also rushed forward.

This lineup is naturally inferior to the Six Kings and the Twenty-Four Divine Generals, but the current Bai Junwu is not the same Bai Junwu who faced the Six Kings just now.

He was more seriously injured, with many wounds being very severe. He was extremely exhausted and was soon wounded again by the soldiers on the ship, forcing him to flee.

Bai Junwu felt a sense of sorrow.

Originally, he only wanted to return to the old land to recuperate and become the number one expert in this great void again. However, he did not expect to be ambushed by the Dragon Ancestor and then encounter people in the old land who were loyal to Shao Hongjun.

Being forced into such a sorry state by these former subordinates made him feel extremely humiliated.

He walked on dejectedly, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

A group of men and women dressed in various styles appeared. They were also traveling on an ancient spaceship, but it was not the same style as the old one.

The boat was also very old, and on board was a gaunt old Taoist priest with a whisk draped over his arm.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Bai Junwu was even more surprised. He felt that there was an invisible hand connecting these people behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could he have been ambushed one after another so soon after he was injured?

"Who wants to harm me?"

Bai Junwu was puzzled.

Bai Junwu said coldly, "Who are you?"

The old Taoist priest said, "I am Qingxu, from the True One Alliance, and I have come to send His Majesty to heaven."

After a moment of silence, Bai Junwu said with a gloomy face, "This was all arranged by your alliance leader."

The Taoist Qingxu smiled and said, "Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help. Now that Your Majesty is surrounded on all sides, has he not considered that it might be due to your own actions?"

Bai Junwu said proudly, "I am the master of the old land. The fact that the old land has survived to this day is the result of enlightenment, and there is no need to say more."

He then waved his hand and charged towards Qingxu Laodao and the others, who all unleashed their supernatural powers to attack.

But at this moment, Bai Junwu suddenly realized that the experts in this battle were beyond his imagination. There were many unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before, but each of them was quite powerful.

With everyone working together, Bai Junwu had no choice but to retreat.

His injuries were even more severe. He was no longer the man who had reaped the glory of dozens of emperors. He looked like a candle flickering in the wind, covered in blood.

He suddenly traversed the vast void, wanting to approach the old land.

His injuries were too severe to be healed.

Within the old land, there are stone statues left behind from the primordial realm. As long as you find them, no matter how many villains try to covet them, you will be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and survive this calamity.

Bai Junwu was utterly bewildered. Who could possibly scheme against him and put him in this terrible predicament?

His wounds were bleeding profusely, and he looked extremely exhausted.

Bai Junwu thought to himself, "The next one to appear should be the mastermind behind this. He won't let me die at the hands of these people. He's chasing me step by step, like chasing prey in the mountains, drawing me into his pre-planned trap."

Bai Junwu rushed towards the old land and happened to bump into someone.

He saw a Taoist priest in blue robes flying towards him from afar, carrying an ancient octagonal palace lantern.

Upon their unexpected encounter, Bai Junwu's eyes revealed a look of surprise:
"It's you!"

He was somewhat incredulous; he never expected to encounter Li Yanchu in the end.
He never imagined that this seemingly crude and uncouth man would be the mastermind behind this whole affair.

When Li Yanchu saw Bai Junwu, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"You escaped really fast! You got here so quickly. If you kept running, you'd really be back in your old home."

Bai Junwu said, "I've thought of many people, I've thought of Gu Fu, I've thought of Yuan Zu... Dragon Ancestor, but I never thought it would be you."

Li Yanchu said, "You're badly injured. Would it make you feel any better to die at their hands?"

Bai Junwu said, "Li Yanchu, you're amazing. I scheme against everyone in the world, but you scheme against me."

Li Yanchu didn't know what Bai Junwu meant by "scheming".
He actually felt that Bai Junwu seemed somewhat tragic and even a little deranged at this moment.
And it seems he was more seriously injured than when he left.

Li Yanchu said, "Fine, so what? It seems you can't escape today."

But to Bai Junwu, these words were tantamount to admitting that Li Yanchu was indeed the mastermind behind everything.

Bai Junwu's heart was pounding:
"It really is him!"
