He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 252 Tipping Off (Third Update)

"This is the entrance to the Xuan Yin Sect. There are defensive barriers at the entrance, but they certainly won't be able to stop you."

Deep within a cliff in Jinxing Gorge, Xue Shenzi pointed to a cave about three meters in diameter and introduced it to Li Chuan with a fawning expression.

"Back then, Bai Mei destroyed the patriarch of the Xuan Yin Sect. Yin Jiutian led the remaining disciples to this place in the center of the earth where spiritual energy could be gathered, and set up a new sect base here."

The restrictions at the entrance were set up by him personally; at most, they could only block cultivators below the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan nodded, activated Immortal Mode, and instantly created two thousand shadow clones.

"Immortal Technique: Super Lightning Escape - False Darkness"

Two thousand shadow clones simultaneously unleashed purple lightning spears, blasting towards the cave entrance.

With a loud bang, the defensive barrier at the cave entrance was torn apart as if it were made of paper, and the two-meter-diameter opening was reduced to a hundred meters.

In order to catch the enemy off guard, after shattering the restriction, Li Chuan led two thousand clones to rush into the cave entrance at top speed and attacked the Xuan Yin Sect hidden inside the cave.

"Damn, that's absolutely awful!"

After passing through a tunnel about a hundred meters long, the view suddenly opened up, but the scene before him made Li Chuan twitch his lips in surprise.

It turned out that at the end of the tunnel was a huge space opened up by Yin Jiutian and other Xuan Yin Sect cultivators using magic treasures. Inside the space, apart from some luxurious palaces, there were pools.

However, these pools were not filled with water, but with people, who were like maggots in a cesspool, naked and indistinguishable by gender and age.

Don't think this is something pleasing to the eye. In fact, if you look closely, many details in the pool are quite disgusting, which is why Li Chuan found it an eyesore.

"Who dares to trespass on my Xuan Yin Sect!"

Just then, in the central hall, two Golden Core stage Xuan Yin Sect elders, sensing the destruction of the sect's restrictions, flew out with a shout, each carrying their own magical treasure.

He was momentarily stunned when he saw the sky filled with Li Chuan.

"They're disgusting to look at, let's kill them all!"

At this point, Li Chuan was too lazy to waste words and directly ordered all his shadow clones to unleash ninjutsu, slaughtering all the Xuan Yin Cult members.

The lightning escape technique that could kill a mid-Nascent Soul Blood God Child was something these demonic cultivators, whose highest level was only early Golden Core, could not withstand. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the cultivators of the Xuan Yin Sect, along with the last two elders, were turned into charred remains.

Only a dozen or so Xuan Yin Sect magical treasures were of decent quality, which Li Chuan later acquired.

"Which building do they hide their martial arts manuals in?"

After dispelling the shadow clone, Li Chuan asked the Blood God Child again.

Guided by the Blood God Child, he quickly found the pavilion where the Xuan Yin Sect stored its secret manuals, swept them all away and put them into his small cloth bag, and then sealed the Blood God Child in the scroll once again.

"Alright, time to go to Emei!"

Having accomplished all this, he used Earth Release ninjutsu to bury the entire Xuan Yin Sect, then retrieved the teleportation scroll and instantly returned to that human town.

He teleported away from the town and leisurely flew towards Emei, riding the magical artifact Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl.

"Junior Brother Qingfeng, you're back. Have you taken care of everything in the sect?"

Shangguan Qian, who was sitting in the octagonal pavilion at the highest point of Liuyun Peak, saw Li Chuan commanding the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl to fall and immediately transformed into a sword light and flew over.

Upon seeing Shangguan Qian appear, Li Chuan put away the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl and smiled:

"Not yet, something unexpected happened, so I came back early. By the way, didn't Senior Sister cultivate today?"

Two years ago, the Seven Masters of the Clouds each received a bottle of Enhancing Essence Pill from the Lotus Fairy. So, apart from the monthly sword duel among the Emei disciples, they would go into seclusion to absorb the medicinal power of the pill in order to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

Today is not a day for sword fighting, so Shangguan Qian should be in seclusion cultivating.

"Oh, um. I have something to take care of today, so..."

Shangguan Qian blushed slightly and made up an excuse to get away with it.

After Li Chuan left Emei, she couldn't settle down to cultivate. She often sat on the peak waiting for Li Chuan to return, but of course, she couldn't say such things out loud.

"That's perfect. Could you please pass on my message, Senior Sister? I have something important to discuss with Master Bai Mei. It concerns the safety of the Blood Demon of the Blood Demon Palace, Youquan Blood Demon, and Emei Sect. It's extremely urgent!"

Li Chuan didn't seem to care, but said solemnly.

The words concerned the safety of Emei Mountain, causing Shangguan Qian's expression to change. She disregarded her inner thoughts and transformed into a streak of sword light, flying directly towards the main peak.

"Junior brother, please wait here for a moment. I'll go find Master now."

About fifteen minutes later, Shangguan Qian flew back again, but this time she was accompanied by Dan Chenzi, the senior disciple of Emei.

"Junior Brother Qingfeng, Master wants to see you. Let me take you there!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Dan Chenzi."

Li Chuan smiled and nodded.

Dan Chenzi grabbed Li Chuan's shoulder, spread his flying knife wings behind him, and in the blink of an eye, they had flown from Liuyun Peak to the main hall of the main peak.

"Li Qingfeng of Xiaozhushan greets you in person!"

Seeing the white-browed immortal sitting cross-legged and floating in the air in front of him, Li Chuan quickly made a Daoist bow.

There are spells in this world that allow one to levitate and fly without using magical artifacts, but only cultivators at the Golden Core stage or lower can learn them, and the speed is much slower than flying with magical artifacts.

Li Chuan had only recently achieved the Core Formation stage and had not yet had time to learn.

"No need for formalities. You said you had something to say about the safety of the Netherworld Blood Demon and Emei Sect. May I ask what it is?"

The White-Browed Immortal had a kind and gentle face, and did not look down on Li Chuan because he was only at the Golden Core stage, nor did he put on airs as the leader of the number one sect of the righteous path.

Li Chuan replied respectfully:

"I learned from Blood God Child that the Netherworld Blood Demon plans to attack Emei in three months and then wipe out the entire righteous path in one fell swoop."

"What? Is that really true?"

The white-browed master's face immediately became more serious.

Li Chuan then recounted how, after returning home, he encountered the Blood God Child and the leader of the Xuan Yin Sect who came to ambush him, and even produced Yin Jiutian's Great Sumeru Xuan Yin Cauldron as evidence.

However, he concealed the fact that he had left behind the Blood God Child's Nascent Soul and that he had wiped out the entire Xuan Yin Sect.

It wasn't really a cover-up, just a simplified version that wasn't mentioned.

The key point is that Master Bai Mei doesn't care about those details. What he cares about is that since the Blood Demon of Youquan dared to attack Emei three months later, he must have some trump card that he doesn't know about.

Bai Mei knew very well that if You Quan didn't have a trump card, he would never dare to attack Emei, because his strength was no match for his.

"Li Qingfeng, thank you for coming to inform Emei. This news is very important to Emei."

Looking down at Li Qingfeng, Bai Mei's face was full of admiration.

Having fought against Nascent Soul cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, and now having just entered the Golden Core stage, Li Qingfeng has already killed two renowned Nascent Soul stage veterans. His talent is even greater than it was in his youth.

He was very pleased that such a person had appeared in the righteous path, even if he was not a disciple of Emei.

Moreover, at this critical juncture of the decisive battle between good and evil, the emergence of such a master is an excellent thing for the righteous path.
