Chapter 228 The Demon Li Lan
The light from the teleportation array pierced through the layers of gray fog, and the void flashed past their eyes. After a long while, a hazy white light finally shone in front of them, and the group from the War Alliance landed from the teleportation array.
The hazy white light disappeared, and they found themselves on a piece of land.
This is a mountainous region, covered with gray vegetation, and a massive array is built between the peaks.
The distance between the Origin Realm and the Immortal Realm is extremely far, and there are various mysterious forces that block their way, making it almost impossible for strange creatures to leave the Origin Realm and go to the Immortal Realm!
Fortunately, the Origin Realm was once the first pure land. In its ancient history, it left behind many arrays that connect the two realms. One end of these arrays is in the foreign city, and the other end is concentrated in the "Shizhou" of the Origin Realm.
Legend has it that in the ancient past, all the creatures that embarked on their journeys and battles began here, hence the name Shizhou (始州).
These formations were not built by any particular alliance, so they became public property. As long as enough "exotic crystals" are provided, they can be activated and used.
However, for a long time, the Origin Realm has rarely sent people to the Immortal Realm, so many formations are almost abandoned.
"I'm back."
After landing, many members of the guild were quite delighted.
"Set off immediately for the Ancient War Alliance!"
At the command of the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable, the crowd escorted a war chariot and sped off.
Li Lan, the "new master of reincarnation," was in that chariot. It was said that he was consolidating his cultivation as a Primordial Golden Immortal and had gained some insights, so he did not show himself along the way.
The chariots emerged from these mountains and were just about to leave.
Boom!
Suddenly, an astonishing disturbance was felt in the void. A giant hand covered the entire sky and grabbed directly at the crowd.
"Protect the new master!"
"Who dares to be so insolent!"
"How dare you!"
The crowd roared in anger. Zhanmeng Tianzun's face darkened, and with a wave of her hand, she displayed her Tianzun-level combat power to withstand the giant hand.
The opponent was also at the Heavenly Venerable level, and the attack ended in a draw. However, immediately afterward, a strange white light shone down. The light was clearly gentle, but wherever it touched, everyone was unable to move or resist!
"what?"
Even the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable was shocked. What kind of magic weapon did the enemy use?
She possesses numerous top-tier magical artifacts, yet she is currently unable to activate them!
How can this be?
What kind of trump card did the opponent use?
While she was shocked, she was also extremely relieved that Li Lan had left in advance.
At the same time, she couldn't help but admire him wholeheartedly once again.
Li Lan can truly be said to have flawless strategies!
……
In the blink of an eye, the entire team was under control.
In the void, a group of people dressed in black cloaks slowly descended!
"Hehe, Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable, you don't need to waste your time. Even if the White Emperor of your War Alliance were to come in person, he wouldn't be able to break free from these constraints!"
The leader gave Zhanmeng Tianzun a cold look.
The Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable roared, "Are the people of the Immortal Alliance really this shameless? They were defeated yesterday, and now they still resort to such despicable methods!"
"You don't need to test me."
But the leader sneered, "You ten major alliances want to form an alliance and monopolize Reincarnation, but where do you place the other forces in the world? Heh, today we'll make Reincarnation change hands!"
He had already reached the chariot and said coldly, "New Lord of Reincarnation, please—"
But there was no response from inside the chariot!
"Ok?"
His eyes turned cold, and he said, "Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences if you don't listen to reason. Make your move!"
Another person wearing a cloak rushed forward from behind and attacked directly. This chariot was a magic treasure of the Immortal Venerable level, protected by Dao Laws and other protective measures, but it was no match for it at this moment and was instantly shattered on the ground!
But the chariot was completely empty!
The group of uninvited guests were immediately shocked.
"Where's Li Lan?!"
The leader roared and suddenly looked at Zhanmeng Tianzun!
However, the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable remained completely calm, smiled slightly, and said, "How laughable is your foolishness! The new Lord of Reincarnation is so wise, how could he be subject to your schemes?"
"He has already arrived at the Alliance, so you don't need to waste your time anymore."
The cloaked figure roared, "Do you want to die?!"
"Tell me, where did he go?!"
He grabbed Zhanmeng Tianzun by the throat and said, "If you don't talk, you will all die!"
The Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable remained fearless and said, "Let's do it."
The cloaked man was furious and turned to look at the others, but they were even more bewildered.
Do you think that if you don't tell us, we won't find out?
He roared, and suddenly, a hazy white light appeared on his body again, enveloping the entire area. He stood in the white light, like a god who ruled over everything!
Where did Li Lan go?!
His voice was like a resounding bell, a voice of the great Dao, directly illuminating the deepest parts of everyone's heart.
Even the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable felt a sense of unease at this moment, with secrets and thoughts surging within her. She subconsciously said, "I don't know... Li Lan didn't tell us."
She was surprised when she said those words.
What exactly is this white light? Not only can it easily suppress a magic weapon of the upper level, but it can also make a master like her completely lose control of her mind?
"I have no idea……"
"He didn't say..."
Everyone in the room spoke with trembling hands.
Upon seeing this, the cloaked figure was extremely anxious, feeling utterly hopeless!
He knew that under such white light, no one could lie!
This time, their use of this item resulted in extremely high losses; the entire Immortal Alliance would pay a bloody price, and even the most powerful beings would perish. Yet, they still couldn't capture Li Lan?!
At that moment, Yongqing suddenly shouted, "He went to the Desert of the Dead! He went to the Desert of the Dead!"
Upon hearing this, all the cloaked figures immediately focused their attention on him.
The cloaked figure instantly appeared in front of him. He could no longer support the treasure, so he withdrew the white light and grabbed Yongqing by the neck, saying, "Speak, what exactly happened!"
Upon seeing this, the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Yongqing, you!"
When Li Lan sent Yongqing to proclaim the imperial edict and cover Li Lan's departure, she felt it was inappropriate because Yongqing had always had reservations about Li Lan, and their lineage did not want Li Lan to return.
Unexpectedly, Yongqing did indeed run into trouble.
Yongqing, now under the control of the cloaked man, was trembling with fear. He knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Li Lan... he used the Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell method. When we went to deliver the decree to the Prince of Nan and the Prince of Qi, he had already taken the opportunity to leave."
The Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable roared, "Yongqing, shut up!!"
"Are you going to betray the alliance?!"
Her eyes burned with murderous intent, and she wished she could kill the other party immediately.
But Yongqing, upon hearing this, still steeled himself and said:
"Before he left, I saw the teleportation array he went to; it led to the Desert of the Dead..."
"Li Lan had already anticipated that someone would make a move, so she separated from us in advance."
"Don't kill me!"
Upon hearing this, the old man with the star-like hair was genuinely taken aback, hidden beneath his cloak.
Is Li Lan some kind of monster? A prophet?!
"very good!"
Old Man Star Ash lifted Yongqing up, then waved his hand and said, "Dead Man's Desert!"
It's not too late; there's still a chance to hunt down Li Lan!
As for Zhanmeng Tianzun and the others in the arena, there was no time to lose, so he had no time to deal with them.
In an instant, a group of cloaked figures led Yongqing away!
What should we do?
"These people... are terrifying."
Everyone looked at each other.
Meanwhile, Zhanmeng Tianzun was extremely anxious and said, "Xiaoxiao, quickly contact the alliance and request the strongest support. I'm going to the Dead Man's Desert first!"
Originally, Li Lan's whereabouts were unknown, and he could have safely arrived at the War Alliance, but now... he has been harmed by that traitor Yongqing!
If something really happens to Li Lan, she can't forgive herself!
After all, she now sees Li Lan as the true hope and future of the War Alliance...
……
The Desert of the Dead is located in the northwest corner of Shizhou, and it is vast and boundless, stretching for millions of miles.
As soon as the old man Xinghui arrived at this place, he fully released his divine sense and divine perception, covering the entire area. However, his brows furrowed even more, because there were no living creatures in this desolate place.
"Nobody..."
He whispered.
"No, impossible! I saw it with my own eyes!"
Yongqing hurriedly spoke up.
Old Man Star Gray hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and used that treasure once again.
After all, Yongqing wasn't lying, which means that Li Lan might have used some method to conceal himself...
A hazy white light emanated from his eyes once more. He quickly scanned them, and millions of miles of desert flashed across his vision. At that moment, he actually saw scenes from an incense stick's time, an hour... several hours ago!
This white light allows him to travel back in time!
"No!!"
Finally, the old man with the star-like gray suddenly stopped. He closed his eyes, which were bleeding profusely!
Using that treasure to empower himself would grant him supernatural powers and vision that surpassed everything, but he would also find it difficult to bear.
"Several hours have passed, and the teleportation array here has not been activated, nor has any living being descended!"
He turned his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with fury, almost as if he wanted to devour someone!
Upon hearing this, Yongqing was instantly stunned.
"What? Li Lan didn't come?"
He muttered something to himself, then yelled, "This is impossible!"
"Li Lan calculated that your Immortal Alliance had a trump card, so he made these arrangements..."
"I saw it with my own eyes. He went to that teleportation array, the one that leads to the Desert of Death. How could he not come? I can't be wrong... Go find him! Go kill him!"
At that moment, a surge of anger at being deceived and fear of facing death erupted simultaneously, causing Yongqing to almost break down mentally!
"How dare you lie to me!"
The old man with the skeletal appearance of Star Ash placed his large, withered hand directly on Yongqing's head; he hated him to the extreme!
It should be noted that his use of that weapon just now might have been backed by another top figure from the Immortal Alliance, and he might have to pay the price with his life!
"I'll make sure you die a horrible death! Aaaaah!"
As the old man with the star-grey hands channeled his power, Yongqing let out a shrill scream!
"what!"
"Spare me... Help! Help me!!"
Yongqing curled up, trembled, and struggled. His soul and spirit were being repeatedly refined, as if he had fallen into a mountain of knives and a pot of boiling oil, and he was in extreme pain.
A long, long time later, he finally lost his life!
The old man with the gray hair cut off his head, then with a wave of his hand, nailed it to the desert, hanging it to vent his anger!
"Elder, what exactly is going on?"
Chu Jiang frowned and asked a question.
"what happened?"
The old man with the gray hair clenched his fists, his hatred and humiliation surging within him. He said bitterly, "Didn't you hear what he said? Li Lan had anticipated our actions!"
“How could a freak like Li Lan be monitored by a fool like Yongqing? He did it on purpose. He deliberately let Yongqing see his whereabouts so that he could use Yongqing to transfer us here!”
"In this way, he has truly escaped his predicament!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang, Qin Guang, and the others were all shocked.
Even Yongqing was just one part of Li Lan's plan?
"A demon...a demon!"
Qin Guangdu couldn't help but mutter to himself. Li Lan had given them another shock; he could only be described as a monster!
"This fiend is too elusive..."
If the battle of the refining array made them realize the gap in talent, then now it is the powerlessness in terms of wisdom.
It truly gave them the illusion that they and Li Lan were two different species.
In front of Li Lan, these chosen ones and elders of the Great Alliance were like gorillas being toyed with at will...
This feeling is so stifling, so humiliating, so powerless!
"Then what do we do now?"
Yama asked, unwilling to give up.
"What else can we do... Send orders to mobilize all forces and immediately head to all the paths leading to the Ancient War Alliance. Use Shizhou as a reference point to pursue them outwards. As soon as you find Li Lan, inform me immediately!"
Old Man Star Ash gritted his teeth!
Li Lan had already arrived in the Origin Realm and had used Yongqing to pull them along, giving him ample time to conceal himself and leave the Beginning State. He was probably already on his way to the War Alliance. Trying to find him again was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, they still had to find a way... This time, the Immortal Alliance paid a really high price!
If we can't find it, then it'll be a real joke, a huge loss, a huge loss!!
……
After they left, Zhanmeng Tianzun and the others quickly arrived at this place.
“Yongqing…”
Upon seeing Yongqing's severed head, Zhanmeng Tianzun was somewhat surprised.
She examined the area carefully and found no signs of a battle.
"Li Lan, has she been arrested?"
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed.
"will not."
But at this moment, Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "He is as cunning as a devil. There is probably no one in this world who can harm him yet. Yongqing has ill intentions... He will only bring trouble upon himself."
"We don't need to worry about Li Lan anymore, we can just go back to the War Alliance and wait for him."
Upon hearing this, Zhanmeng Tianzun was somewhat surprised. She looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao and suddenly remembered that when Yongqing mentioned Li Lan's whereabouts, Shangguan Xiaoxiao seemed not to be in a hurry at all. She remained calm and smiled, as if she were watching a play!
Did Shangguan Xiaoxiao already know?
So you're just worrying all by yourself...
She suddenly felt relieved!
"Alright, back to the War Alliance!"
she said.
"Heavenly Venerable One, that Young Master Yongqing..."
Other strange creatures asked questions.
"He's already a traitor!"
Zhanmeng Tianzun coldly glanced at Yongqing's head and said, "Even if he wasn't killed by those people, he would have met the same fate upon returning to the War Alliance!"
"Ignore him!"
After saying that, she turned and left!
……
And this moment.
"Is this the Origin Realm?"
Wearing a gray cloak to conceal himself, Li Lan emerged from a desolate place, filled with emotion!
……
