Chapter 232 Even the most peerless can bend.
"Fellow Daoist He Fang... let's talk this out!"
Tianbai's face was extremely pale; he could barely hold on.
But the entity in the shadows showed no intention of letting go. Under the suppression of its power, the gray mist on Tian Bai's body continued to dissipate, and he was on the verge of destruction.
"break!"
But at that moment, Tian Bai suddenly roared, and a burst of dark light erupted from his body, breaking through Li Lan's suppression. He transformed into a beam of light and fled at lightning speed.
They escaped using a forbidden technique!
Upon seeing this, Zhuiyue, Gu Ling, and the others were all horrified and hurriedly knelt down towards the mountain peak!
"We meant no harm, please forgive us, senior!"
"We are ignorant, please be merciful, senior!"
They were all terrified. Clearly, this newborn woman was being protected, yet they had dared to disrespect her.
Even Qi Yan was somewhat puzzled at this moment, and turned to look into the mountain peak.
Before she could be seen, a gray cloak flew out and covered her naked body. Then, a person also wearing a gray cloak walked out.
"who are you?"
Qi Yan asked a question.
"A person who still harbors the desire to wage war."
Li Lan spoke calmly, saying, "The people from the Alien Alliance will be here soon. Let's go."
Qi Yan stared into his eyes for a moment, as if she could see the sincerity and hypocrisy deep in his heart. After thinking for a moment, she chose to trust him, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Before leaving, Li Lan gave Gu Ling and Zhui Yue a cold look and said, "You all came from the Immortal Realm, yet you drive and whip your old friends like pigs and dogs. Don't you think that's too inhumane?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ling and Zhui Yue both lowered their heads, not daring to answer.
However, Li Lan suddenly shook his head: "That's right. You people have no humanity to begin with. These things that have been turned into pigs and dogs have no humanity either. They all deserve what they got. I was just being nosy."
After saying that, he took Qi Yan with him, transformed into a ray of light, and flew away, quickly disappearing from the spot.
After he left, Gu Ling and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhuiyue, why do I have this feeling that this person seems to know quite a bit about us?"
Gu Ling looked at Zhuiyue with some confusion.
Zhuiyue felt the same way. Moreover, when the gray-cloaked man spoke just now, she actually felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had returned to the Immortal Realm. When the various clans went to besiege the Thousand Rivers Land, she seemed to see that person who stood alone, supporting the sky and standing tall...
In front of that person, she always felt an unconscious sense of inferiority and guilt, as if that person was the sun, a blazing flame, while she was just an insect in the dark night, and his light would hurt her.
Could it be him?
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, but she immediately dismissed it: "No, he has already become a guest of honor in the War Alliance, and will soon become the Alliance Leader. Even the nine major alliances will treat him with respect..."
Thinking of this, she felt extremely bitter.
Back then, that person was happiness she could have easily grasped...
Fate is like two intersecting lines. After they met once and she failed to seize the opportunity, the two drifted further and further apart, only able to gaze at each other from afar...
Li Lan might forget her soon, but his brilliance will shine upon her again, constantly stinging her... This feeling is truly unbearable!
……
Li Lan quickly left with Qi Yan.
Where are we going now?
The wind whistled past her ears as she flew high in the sky. Qi Yan showed no change in expression, only asking a question.
"The Alien Alliance Branch".
Li Lan said.
"Why?" she asked.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place."
Li Lan spoke calmly, and a small town appeared not far ahead.
The Origin Realm is teeming with strange creatures. In other places, cities are often connected and densely populated, but Shizhou is too barren, so there are only remote small towns, and the number of creatures is not large, only a few hundred thousand.
After they landed, Li Lan concealed his presence and walked into the city with her.
This city was built by the Alien Alliance, and its Shizhou branch is located here.
The two found a place to stay, and soon the city became tense. A large number of Alien Alliance members gathered, and at the same time, the teleportation array was constantly activated, and one expert after another appeared!
Clearly, Tianbai had already sent a message to the alliance, and experts flocked to the scene. Li Lan even sensed an aura that surpassed that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
In the Immortal Realm, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is actually the end of cultivation. Even a Supreme Immortal Emperor is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has perfected the Great Dao and has the Heavenly Heart Mark.
Above the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, there are other realms!
Confused, I set out on my journey, saw the illusion, perceived the truth, and opened the door!
This was a realm that Li Lan had previously learned from the Dream-Slaying Celestial Venerable.
The so-called bewilderment is that after transcending the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, because the existing path has disappeared, all that remains is bewilderment. In this realm, the cultivator's cultivation level will fluctuate, and even their life may rise and fall.
Only when a path forward is found or constructed can it be considered that one has embarked on the journey.
The further they go, the more difficult it becomes. Therefore, even though the Origin Realm is full of reincarnations of powerful experts who once conquered the Origin, they still need to form alliances based on similar cultivation paths. This is to pool everyone's wisdom in order to keep moving forward.
However, even when bewildered or advanced-level beings arrived, Li Lan didn't care at all.
How long do you need to stay?
Inside the room, Qi Yan looked at Li Lan.
"I don't know, we'll leave when it's safe."
Li Lan said.
Qi Yan asked, "Do you know about the White Emperor and the Black Emperor?"
Having just recovered, her connection with this world is still fragile, and in her daze, she can only recall some vague impressions.
"know."
"The White Emperor created a force within the Origin Realm called the War Alliance..."
Since she had nothing better to do, Li Lan told Qi Yan about the situation in the Origin Realm, and she listened quietly.
"I'm going to the War Alliance."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly spoke up.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Li Lan smiled. He was going to the War Alliance anyway, so giving her a ride would be convenient.
"After you woke up, your cultivation should have been stronger, but you just lacked the strange aura."
Li Lan took out a storage ring and said, "This contains exotic crystals."
Like Originium, there are also energy substances in the Origin Realm specifically for cultivation. Different Crystals are one such substance, containing an extremely rich and strange aura. When he parted ways with Zhanmeng Tianzun and the others, he asked Zhanmeng Tianzun for some.
Thank you.
She didn't stand on ceremony, took it directly, and began to absorb it silently.
……
The two stayed in the city for nearly half a month. During this time, as expected, people from the Alien Alliance came and went, but they never checked the city.
Clearly, they never expected that the person they were looking for would deliberately hide at their doorstep.
Of course, there was another reason: Li Lan had been using his own aura to conceal her presence, so even if the enemy used their divine sense to scan her, it would be difficult for them to detect anything.
"You can go now."
As the situation in the city gradually calmed down, Li Lan finally decided to set off.
Leaving the small town, both of them felt much lighter.
Do you want to learn kendo?
On the way, Qi Yan suddenly asked, "I can teach you."
She felt indebted to Li Lan and wanted to repay him.
Even though she had just been reborn, she was born with the heart of a strong person. In her eyes, Li Lan was nothing more than a Great Luo Golden Immortal, still a "weakling".
"Okay!"
Li Lan smiled as well. His Myriad Flames absorbed as many different Daos and techniques as possible.
"My sword is named Wuhen (meaning 'Traceless')."
She raised her hand, using her fingers as swords, and thrust them directly at Li Lan. In an instant, various sword intents appeared on her jade-like fingers!
It was just a single stab, but Li Lan felt a breathtaking sensation. The unparalleled power contained within it seemed to be no less than that of the 109 people he had met on the Bridge of Life and Death!
"Block me."
She reminded Li Lan that if he wanted to comprehend the true meaning, he needed to do so through combat. Li Lan did not hesitate and raised his hand to strike, doing whatever he wanted, but he had already invoked the Dao of the 109 masters and had his own style and aura.
"Ok?"
Qi Yan was clearly surprised. She had only used part of her strength, intending to impart the sword intent so that Li Lan could gain some understanding. But now, Li Lan's performance completely exceeded her expectations.
With a sudden change in her hand, she unleashed a sword technique that already contained three-tenths of her strength!
Li Lan stared at her hands; the same changes were happening, yet she was still holding her own.
A solemn look flashed in her eyes. She used five parts of her sword intent to fight Li Lan. The two exchanged blows quickly. Dao clashed with Dao, and law entangled with intent. Before the outcome of the first move was decided, she used another move, using seven or eight parts of her sword intent!
This desolate wilderness had become their stage for performing magic!
Li Lan cherished the opportunity to fight against such a master, so he exerted all his strength and freely mobilized his own Dao.
His attacks now are no longer simply a matter of one technique. A single punch might contain the True Dragon Technique for mending the heavens, or the Dao of other masters, all mixed together and acting arbitrarily.
In the blink of an eye, the two have already exchanged blows a hundred times!
After a hundred attempts, it came to an abrupt end!
Because she attained enlightenment!
She sat cross-legged on the ground, while Li Lan, still wanting more, stood guard beside her.
A day and a night later.
As soon as she opened her eyes and raised her hand, her sword intent seemed to undergo another qualitative change!
“Your path is very strong. I see the shadows of many old friends in you, but you are more complete than them. You have learned from their strengths and made up for their weaknesses, and integrated them all.”
She spoke solemnly, then suddenly bowed to Li Lan and said, "Thank you!"
She had always maintained a calm and composed mind, regarding the affairs of the world as nothing. Although she had previously experienced a life-or-death crisis with Tianbai without any ripples, she couldn't help but feel a bit complicated at this moment.
She originally intended to repay Li Lan's kindness by giving him swordsmanship, but now... she owes him an even greater favor!
"You're too polite, senior!"
Li Lan hurriedly spoke up.
"Did I meet you in a past life?"
But Qi Yan suddenly asked a question in a low voice.
Li Lan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Probably not."
Qi Yan murmured, "I feel like I had a similar experience in my past life, like being instructed by someone, or bowing to someone..."
She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
"Let's go."
Li Lan spoke, and the two prepared to continue forward.
But they hadn't gone far.
"wrong."
Li Lan frowned, immediately pulled her back, and said in a deep voice, "There's an ambush!"
As soon as the words were spoken, figures appeared in the void.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man with an extremely imposing aura. Those who came with him were at least at the Heavenly Venerable level.
This made Li Lan's heart sink. What happened? Had they been exposed after all?
As he wondered, the man bowed and said, "Zhanmeng Zhutian has come to welcome Supreme Elder Qi Yan!"
The others also immediately bowed!
