Chapter 143: Chapter 137: Zuo Wen Is Li An

Since Li An came to White Tiger City, it has been forty or fifty years.

Forty or fifty years is neither long nor short.

Back then, Qin Xuan caused a massacre in the Treasure Pavilion to pave the way for Guo Ling. Deputy Zhou Ying died violently, Mo Rong was expelled from the Pavilion, and only Li An escaped by chance, enduring in White Tiger City.

Now, Li An is still well, but Qin Xuan is gone…

It can be said that he has outlasted Qin Xuan!

Moreover, in the end, the position of Chief Artifact Evaluator naturally fell into his hands…

He hesitated and thought, and that night he received a secret letter from the Third Princess—

The Third Princess candidly stated in the letter that the current Pavilion Master, Su Xiuwan, is her close sister, and Li An becoming the Chief is inevitable. She assured him to return to the Treasure Pavilion to help her sister consolidate her foundation, guaranteeing there would be no danger.

She jokingly added that if Li An insists on not going, she would have to send a sedan chair to bring him.

“A web!”

Li An couldn’t help but lament.

Previously, Qin Xuan had no relationship with the Third Princess, and Li An was fairly relaxed within the main pavilion.

Now even the Pavilion Master has been replaced by someone under the Third Princess, and once Li An becomes Chief, he will surely be on pins and needles, cautious in everything.

He really doesn’t want to go back, but he has no room to refuse.

Enduring in White Tiger City for so many years, the most worrisome thing, after all, cannot be avoided.

He immediately replied with two letters, one to Pavilion Master Su Xiuwan and one to the Third Princess.

The meaning was the same.

Once he finishes handling matters here, he will return to Celestial Yang City within two months at the latest.

…

Meanwhile.

“A letter from Celestial Yang City has arrived; Zuo Wen, this pawn, is about to return to Celestial Yang City…”

In the secret chamber on White Tiger Mountain, White Tiger Master took a sip of tea and calmly lifted her eyes to Xu Qiuhui: “You will act tomorrow night.”

“No problem, right?”

Xu Qiuhui’s eyes showed a steadfastness like a rock, solemnly saying: “Disciple will give my utmost effort!”

White Tiger Master nodded, saying: “Your cultivation isn’t enough to split another Primordial Spirit, so you’ll have to abandon your own, possess Zuo Wen, and use his body as your cauldron, anchoring your Primordial Spirit.”

“Devour him and go to Celestial Yang City, continuing to play him.”

“When Celestial Yang City falls, that will be the time you return to your original body and aspire toward True Core, even Golden Core.”

“Rest assured, I will preserve your body well.”

Xu Qiuhui, grateful to the point of tears, knelt down, “Thank you, Master, for giving the disciple a chance at rebirth!”

Then, she retreated.

“Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill can restrain Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill, using the method of yin-yang fusion to plant a Primordial Spirit into the body of a cultivator of Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill; it is truly an incredible technique…”

White Tiger Master continued, “This art reminds me of the legendary apparition outside the body. It’s a pity the men of this world don’t please me, otherwise I’d like to find one to merge with well, refine him into my apparition, that way it would be like having two lives.”

She smiled slightly.

“This method is not invincible.”

The frail young girl seemed melancholy: “Only when my sect’s three major arts combine, will it be the truly unbeatable divine skill!”

“Once this skill emerges, my sect will rise again, and the old enemies will tremble beneath my sect’s feet!”

Though she appeared extremely frail, her eyes reflected a domineering aura that made even White Tiger Master slightly nervous.

“It’s a pity my elder sister is still alive… I must make sure she dies!”

The frail young girl spoke, but then began coughing.

…

The next night.

“Zuo Lang, I heard you’re returning to Celestial Yang City?”

In the deep night, Xu Qiuhui slowly spoke.

“Yes, I’m going back to take up the Chief position.”

Li An said: “If you wish, I can speak to Master, let you come with me?”

“Ah, I would like to… but ultimately I’m of White Tiger Mountain.”

“Zuo Lang, tonight is the last night…”

This statement seemed to stir a feeling of mutual cherishing in both.

Helping each other!

As close as glue!

Hard to part!

The heavenly waterfall surges nine thousand points, the sky is all wet.

At the moment of flying emotions, Li An suddenly noticed that Xu Qiuhui seemed unmoving.

Like she had fainted.

“Hm? This kind of thing can cause death?”

Li An was startled, lowered his head to check, and suddenly felt a sharp pain at his brow.

A beam of light shot from Xu Qiuhui’s Spirit Platform into his forehead!

“Soul possession!”

Li An immediately realized, Xu Qiuhui was trying to execute soul possession on him.

At the same time, he felt the Demonic Qi Xu Qiuhui sent into his body slightly vibrating in the Spirit Platform, seemingly guiding.

Even the Yin Yang Demonic Qi in his body had parts resonating with Xu Qiuhui’s soul.

All of Xu Qiuhui’s plans became crystal clear in Li An’s mind!

The demonic skill Xu Qiuhui cultivated could specifically counteract cultivators of Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill, once triggered, they would have no resistance.

All these years… White Tiger Mountain treated him like a pig to be raised.

But Li An’s Spirit Platform instantly defended, Life Seed’s power filled the Spirit Platform, even though he was caught off guard just now, he could easily resist Xu Qiuhui’s soul possession.

His Divine Sense Soul was far stronger than average, and he had Life Seed’s augmentation!

Yet, his thoughts spun rapidly.

Destroy Xu Qiuhui?

He could easily do so now.

But it would be meaningless.

Instead, it would expose himself.

Turning the tables, he could maneuver freely, perhaps eventually retaliating against White Tiger Mountain.

Thinking of this, he opened the Spirit Platform, allowing Xu Qiuhui’s soul to enter his Spirit Platform.

Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit entered his Spirit Platform, directly attacking the flame of Li An’s soul within.

But, Li An’s Primordial Spirit stepped out from the soul flame, and slapped away.

Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit was directly sent flying!

“What?”

At this moment, Xu Qiuhui’s Primordial Spirit was shocked, how could this be?

Her soul possession on Li An should have been successful?

Now Li An could actually resist!

Moreover, Li An’s Primordial Spirit was much stronger than hers.

Then, when she saw the appearance of the Primordial Spirit walking out of the soul flame, she was utterly stunned.

This Primordial Spirit’s appearance was identical to Li An’s true form, even appearing as young.

“How can it be!”

She burst out, as if she had seen a ghost.

Appearance can be altered, aura can be masked.

But one’s Primordial Spirit, which is the soul, cannot be changed.

This meant… Zuo Wen is not Zuo Wen, but Li An?

Zuo Wen is Li An!

Heavens…

At this moment, she inexplicably felt a huge impact in her heart.

She suddenly recalled scenes from Profound Yang Sect’s past…

The youth who took the Wuling Sect path to enter Profound Yang Sect.

The lowly status but constantly climbing handyman.

The Talisman Master Li with incredible old yet cautious mind…

…

He was still alive.

He became the Branch Pavilion Master of Treasure Pavilion, now to become the Chief Artifact Evaluator!

Moreover, what shocked her most was Li An’s Primordial Spirit was too young, not resembling a two hundred-year-old man.

At this moment, she immediately realized, Li An carries a monumental secret on him!

Additionally, she understood, she had fallen into a trap, now it wasn’t she possessing Li An, instead, her life and death were entirely in Li An’s hands —

“Brother Li, please have mercy for old times’ sake—”

Xu Qiuhui reacted quickly, her Primordial Spirit knelt right in front of Li An’s Primordial Spirit, sincerely begging!
