Chapter 275: Have You Told the Immortal About This?
"An unprecedented great fortune?"
Li Xun chuckled softly.
He didn't take it to heart.
To him, the system in his hands was the greatest fortune of all. Every other opportunity was merely optional. If even with the system he could not achieve eternal life, then no matter how many additional opportunities he received, they would be useless.
"Master."
Huang Xi spoke again. "On my way here, I overheard several factions preparing to make an enemy out of you. Do you need me to strike first and wipe them out?"
"No need for now."
Li Xun shook his head slightly.
Whether it was the Star-Moon Divine Sect, the Spirit Clan, or the Xiao Clan, each of these factions possessed long-standing inheritances. Not to mention that the Xiao Clan openly had a Quasi-Emperor overseeing them—far beyond someone like Huang Xi to provoke.
Even setting aside the Xiao Clan, as for the Spirit Clan and Star-Moon Divine Sect, which were slightly weaker, was the strength they displayed truly all of their foundation?
Likely not.
Ordinary people know to conceal their capabilities—so how could a Holy Land-level faction not do the same?
"Then what are Master's plans from here?" Huang Xi asked.
"We'll visit the Abyssal Demons Burial first."
Li Xun pondered briefly before speaking.
He had heard of the Abyssal Demons Burial's infamous name long ago. Now that the Demon-Sealing Conference was underway, the extraterritorial fiends within the Abyssal Demons Burial had been assigned to Profound Sun Holy Land to deal with.
As the Profound Sun Holy Son, he naturally needed to inspect the situation first.
If he wasn't familiar with the internal structure of the Abyssal Demons Burial and rashly ordered Profound Sun Holy Land to mobilize to its full extent, the result would only be a disastrous defeat—possibly even total annihilation.
"Daoist Brother, you must be careful of the Xiao Clan, Spirit Clan, Golden Crow Clan, and the others inside the Abyssal Demons Burial. I have a feeling they won't let this matter go so easily." Lu Qingxian said gravely.
For many years, the Xiao Clan had been revered by others thanks to the presence of a Quasi-Emperor. Anyone from the Xiao Clan—no matter where they went—would be treated as an honored guest.
But now, outside the Crape Myrtle Holy Land, a Divine Palace Realm expert and a young prodigy had fallen. This was a massive humiliation for the Xiao Clan.
If they didn't retaliate, that would be the real surprise.
And given the Xiao Clan's temperament, their retaliation would likely be far more terrifying than even the Golden Crow Clan's…
"It's not just a feeling, they definitely won't let it go."
Li Xun's gaze deepened, his expression calm as he said, "Near the Abyssal Demons Burial, they've probably already started preparing their backup plans."
"After all…"
"Being able to make a Quasi-Emperor hand over the Abyssal Demons Burial to our Profound Sun Holy Land… they must've paid quite a price. How could they possibly let it go so easily?"
A Quasi-Emperor was a being who secluded themselves in relentless cultivation. They cared little for worldly affairs.
They stood just one final step away from becoming an Emperor—how could they have the leisure to concern themselves with the rise of a newly ascended Holy Land?
Not to mention…
A force at Profound Sun Holy Land's level wasn't even qualified to enter a Quasi-Emperor's field of vision.
Yet, strangely, the Abyssal Demons Burial had been handed over to Profound Sun Holy Land.
Anyone with a functioning brain could tell there was something off about this.
"So Daoist Brother had already anticipated this. It seems I was worrying too much."
Lu Qingxian smiled brightly, then continued, "I've heard the Abyssal Demons Burial is extremely dangerous. Do you need me to accompany you?"
She had already broken through to the Life and Death Realm. By Li Xun's side, she finally had at least some usefulness—though admittedly, not much.
"Miss Lu's kindness—Li Xun accepts it in heart."
Li Xun turned to look at Lu Qingxian deeply, smiling as he said, "You've just broken through. Your priority now should be stabilizing your cultivation."
"As for repaying kindness—there's no need to rush. There will naturally be chances in the future."
"…Alright."
Having her thoughts exposed, a faint blush crept across Lu Qingxian's delicate face.
"If you ever encounter difficulties, don't hesitate to send word to me."
Li Xun added one more line.
Then he turned and walked toward the Golden Divine Chariot.
Lu Qingxian, after all, carried the protagonist's template—a true child of fortune.
Any trouble she encountered would definitely not be simple.
But it might also create opportunities for him to invest in her.
Investing in a fortune-blessed girl like Lu Qingxian was worth far more than investing in ten ordinary people.
"This little one respectfully sends off Daoist Brother Li Xun."
Lu Qingxian stood where she was, watching Li Xun and Huang Xi step onto the Golden Divine Chariot. She spoke softly and respectfully.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Although she had not known Li Xun for long, the kindness he had shown her in this short period was greater than the heavens themselves.
Even if she were to offer herself to him…
Lu Qingxian still felt it would not be enough.
"I think I heard… Daoist Brother Li Xun already has a fiancée."
Lu Qingxian let out a gentle sigh.
At the same time, millions of miles away.
In a mountain cave, Xiao Fan sat cross-legged, ancient scripture running through his body, his entire figure submerged in golden blood energy. The entire cave radiated a sacred and peaceful atmosphere.
Not long before, he had fought a bloody battle and suffered severe injuries. If not for his own strong cultivation and Jiang Taixuan's timely intervention at the final moment, he would likely have perished.
A full day later, Xiao Fan opened his eyes.
Most of the terrifying wounds had healed. He slowly stood up and walked step by step out of the cave.
In the early morning, a thin mist covered the mountains. As the morning glow shone through, the mist turned into multicolored clouds. Hidden deep within the haze, one could faintly see profound symbols floating in midair.
It was clear that this mountain range had been covered with a formation.
Although its defensive strength wasn't powerful, it was enough to obscure the sight of ordinary cultivators.
Those Spirit Clan experts chasing Xiao Fan should not be able to locate this place for a while.
"You're awake?"
Outside the valley stood Jiang Taixuan, dressed in a plain blue robe, hands behind his back. His appearance was ordinary, and his cultivation didn't seem strong—just late stage Life and Death Realm.
But Xiao Fan, who had witnessed his true ability, knew very clearly:
Jiang Taixuan was nowhere near as simple as he appeared.
His true strength had already reached the peak of the Life and Death Realm, and he seemed able to break through into the Divine Palace Realm at any time.
This terrifying cultivation speed…
Xiao Fan had only ever seen one other person achieve it.
His eldest brother—Li Xun!
He had no idea how Jiang Taixuan managed to cultivate so quickly, almost reaching the speed of his elder brother.
"Yes. Thank you for your help, Brother Jiang."
Xiao Fan nodded calmly and spoke in a heavy tone.
"The ones who were chasing you earlier seemed to be from the Spirit Clan. Have you told the Immortal about this?"
Jiang Taixuan asked.
He didn't believe he could protect Xiao Fan on his own. After all, his actual strength wasn't particularly high—his cultivation just progressed quickly.
Without the secret treasure he carried, he would be no different from an ordinary cultivator—perhaps even weaker.
After all, he possessed neither a special physique nor a powerful cultivation technique. Compared to monstrous prodigies like Xiao Fan and Li Xun, who had divine bodies and longevity physiques, he was far inferior.
At this moment, in Jiang Taixuan's view, the top priority was to notify Li Xun. Only then could Xiao Fan survive this calamity safely.
