Chapter 468 Reunion with the Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 468 Reunion with the Heavenly Emperor
Modo is dead.
But Li Lan was not satisfied with this result.
He went to great lengths, originally intending to kill the furnace master Gu Tingyi, but ended up killing a lackey like Modo. It could be said that he tried to shoot a pig but accidentally hit a deer.
"The Great Black Heaven Star Devouring Sect's foundation is indeed extraordinary."
But he couldn't help but sigh softly. The medicinal herbs he had personally refined were all subtle and profound in their five elements ratios and yin and yang energies. If it were anyone else, these energies would not be able to survive after entering the source of life after being formed into pills.
However, Gu Tingyi only lost half his life.
It won't be so easy to find an opportunity to kill him again.
Should we take direct action?
Although Li Lan's cultivation level is already considered an absolute master in the Eternal True Realm and even the Other Shore, Gu Tingyi's power is obviously also very strong, with a lot of resources from outside this world.
Even though he is injured, he should not be underestimated.
"Junior Brother Xuanyi, your performance today was truly unexpected..."
At this moment, Yun Xiao walked in. She looked at Li Lan with amusement and said, "Did you really see that it was Mo Duo who refined those medicinal herbs?"
There seemed to be a scrutinizing look in her eyes!
Clearly, after Modo's death, she had come to her senses and noticed something amiss.
Whether Modo actually refined those medicinal herbs or not was entirely based on Li Lan's word!
Because of her previous anger towards Modo, she unknowingly helped Li Lan...
She's a smart woman; once she calms down, she'll realize that.
Li Lan said calmly, "It's absolutely true."
"What kind of abilities does Xuan Yi possess that he dares to deceive Senior Sister and the Furnace Master?"
Yun Xiao chuckled coldly and said, "That's not necessarily true. In this other shore, I have never seen someone as bold as Junior Brother Xuanyi."
"Junior brother, if I were to tell Lord Gu now that you have a close relationship with Namodo and that there is unclear suspicion about you, what do you think Master would do?"
She's threatening me!
"Perhaps Master will also let you enter the furnace fire to keep Namodo company, right?"
She smiled.
Although killing Modo was one of her wishes, she wouldn't let Li Lan off the hook because of it.
Her physical condition was already very poor, and it would be too late if she didn't find a suitable vessel to absorb the evil poison soon.
Therefore, she is now coercing Li Lan once again, even more blatantly.
If Li Lan doesn't agree, she will inform on him, causing Li Lan to suffer the same fate as Modo.
But Li Lan remained completely calm and said:
"Lord Gu is discerning and perceptive. If Senior Sister suspects me, it is only right to report to him. However, Xuan Yi should also talk to Lord Gu about how Senior Sister has repeatedly asked Xuan Yi to offer himself to her. I wonder why. Perhaps Lord Gu will investigate this as well. Senior Sister, don't you agree?"
Completely fearless.
Yun Xiao's expression changed slightly.
To put it bluntly, she just wanted to use Modo's death to intimidate Li Lan.
After all, there is no evidence to support this claim, and Gu Tingyi may not actually have killed Li Lan.
However, if Gu Tingyi were to find out that she had committed such an unfaithful act, she would be doomed.
"Xuanyi, are you really going to be so resolute?"
She spoke in a deep voice, "You've rejected me time and time again. Do you really think I have no way to kill you?"
Li Lan said calmly, "Senior sister, please go ahead."
Extremely casual!
"Very good, very good!"
Yun Xiao gritted her teeth and immediately turned and left.
Not long after, Gu Tingyi issued an order for Yun Xiao, Yue Nu, and several other medicine slaves to go to the main hall to await the imperial decree.
"The grand plan of alchemy should not be delayed any longer."
Gu Ting began by saying, "My original plan was to use the beings on the other shore as a foundation, and through the Zhou Tian Formation, dissolve the imprints left by the ancestral gods on the other shore, and absorb the last of the power of heaven and earth."
The reason Gu Tingyi took in many beings from the other side as medicine slaves was not only to manage the furnace fire formation, but more importantly, to deal with the ancestral god's mark and other things.
The beings he selected came from various powerful forces on the other side of the river. They were all geniuses and hopes of their respective forces, and it could be said that they carried immense fortune.
Using these people as a fulcrum, we can draw upon the power of all beings on the other side to pry open the marks left by the ancestral gods.
This is no different from the method that Dongya and others in the Eternal True Realm wanted to use to deal with the Great Wall at the border.
They all use the karma of sentient beings in this world to fight against what was left behind by ancestral gods and others.
"However, now that one of the other shore's medicine slaves has died, and my strength has been damaged, it is already difficult to operate the karmic array and break those marks... Therefore, you should quickly go to the major forces on the other shore and find a few more people to come."
Gu Ting spoke.
Yuenu, Xinghan, and the others all nodded.
"Your Honor,"
At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly spoke up, saying, "After Modo died, Xuan Yi felt very guilty and was afraid that you would punish him. He had previously told me that he wanted to make amends by finding precious medicines to help you recover."
"So, what he means is that he wants to go to the land of the Thirteen World Pillars to refine medicine for the master!"
--The "thirteen world pillars" she mentioned are the thirteen forbidden mountains in the other side.
Those thirteen forbidden mountains are the pillars of the entire Otherworld, containing powerful world laws.
Many years ago, Gu Tingyi had already discovered that if he could set up an array around the World Pillar, he might be able to refine the Yin-Yang Grass.
However, the imprints of the Heavenly Emperor, Nuwa, Pangu, and other ancestral gods remained on the thirteen world pillars, suppressing the entire other shore.
Therefore, anyone who gets close to him is simply unable to withstand that karma. Even Gu Tingyi would be greatly affected, so his idea of refining the medicine becomes nothing but empty talk.
Now, Xuan Yi has actually proposed to refine medicine?
"Him?"
Gu Tingyi gave a cold laugh.
However, Yue Nu, who was standing next to her, had a sudden thought. Although she didn't know whether what Yun Xiao said was true or false, she knew very well that Li Lan might really have a lot of opportunities to do things after going to the World Pillar.
She recalled the incident with Modo. Li Lan had almost succeeded. Even though Gu Tingyi had a trump card and survived, he had also lost half his life.
If Li Lan goes to the World Pillar again and refines medicine for Gu Ting again, he might actually be able to kill him directly!
Therefore, she immediately said, "In my opinion, this person is probably just trying to imitate Modo."
She began, "Modo refines medicine for the master, and has almost become the master's disciple. Which other medicine slave wouldn't want to follow in his footsteps?"
"I think it would be better to let him give it a try. This person is exceptionally talented, able to defeat the Mother of Evil. He also performed exceptionally well when he participated in the entrance examination. Perhaps there will be some turning point."
"Even if he dies, it's not a big loss. At worst, we can just find a few more spare medicine slaves on this trip."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyi couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
The main issue is that his current condition is indeed very poor. If someone could really refine medicinal herbs for him...
"Fine, since that's the case, let him give it a try."
He nodded immediately.
Upon seeing this, Yun Xiao was overjoyed and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
--The reason she suddenly brought this up was certainly not because she really cared about Li Lan.
It was to send Li Lan to his death!
After being rejected twice by Li Lan, she realized that Li Lan was like a rock in a latrine, stubborn and unyielding, and wouldn't budge no matter what.
It is completely unusable.
The key point is that he has also become a threat, after all, if he tells Gu Tingyi about his affairs, he will really be finished.
Under such circumstances, her best option was to kill Li Lan as soon as possible.
That's why I brought this up today. My purpose is to send Li Lan to the Thirteen World Pillars, a place where death is certain!
Once Li Lan leaves, she will never come back.
So logically and naturally, killing without leaving a trace.
She immediately returned, went into the kitchen, found Li Lan, and said:
"Lord Gu has given orders that you take medicinal herbs to the Thirteen World Pillars to concoct medicine for him. If you fail, you are not to return."
Her words were cold, and a sneer played on her lips.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan was taken aback.
He was certainly aware of the special origins of the Thirteen World Pillars.
Gu Ting wants me to go there to refine medicine? It's likely that Yun Xiao is behind this!
For everyone else, this would be a dead end.
Refusing would be disobeying the orders of the adults, and would only lead to death.
Go there? No one can bear that kind of karma. The thirteen world pillars, regarded as a forbidden place by the strange creatures of the other side, can suppress all those with ill intentions.
But it's different for Li Lan!
He has no fear of those worldly karmic forces.
Furthermore, he still possessed many relics left behind by the Heavenly Emperor and the Ancestral God. Another important reason he came to the other side was to reinforce the seal of the Thirteen World Pillars!
Previously, it would have been difficult for him to get close to the Thirteen World Pillars, since the Thirteen World Pillars were being watched by the Furnace Master Gu Tingyi, and anyone else who approached would be immediately discovered.
Now, Yun Xiao has created an excellent opportunity for him.
They went there openly and without anyone daring to question anything.
He could even concoct medicine for Gu Tingyi... This gave him another chance to kill Gu Tingyi.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Yun Xiao was clever or stupid!
"What, you dare disobey orders?"
Seeing that Li Lan did not answer, Yun Xiao questioned him in a cold voice.
Li Lan took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Since the Furnace Master has given the order, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, Xuan Yi has no choice but to go."
Yun Xiao then gave a cold laugh and said, "This is the Yin-Mixing Grass. You must set off immediately. The master said that if you fail to refine it, you don't need to come back—"
She tossed the ginseng grass to Li Lan.
Li Lan took it, then silently packed her things and set off.
"Reject me? You'll only find yourself dead!"
Watching his departing figure, Yun Xiao spoke coldly, but then she couldn't help but frown. Eliminating Li Lan would not alleviate the evil poison in her body.
We must choose another target.
"No, I have to go and select a few drug slaves myself."
She murmured.
Just then, Gu Tingyi arranged for them to go to the various forces on the other side to select medicine slaves.
In the past, these tasks were completed by Xinghan, Yuenu, and others, and she had no interest in them at all. But this time, to be on the safe side, she had to choose a few that were easy to control.
……
After leaving Dengdao Mountain, Li Lan traveled alone to the Thirteen World Pillars.
The Thirteen World Pillars are thirteen high mountains that stand in the center of the other shore.
Before the other side was ruled by the supernatural, this place was already the pinnacle of the world, surrounded by the power of the world, and ordinary people could not approach it.
Today, the entire other side is shrouded in gloom, but from afar, these thirteen forbidden mountains still appear incredibly sacred, enveloped in golden light.
