Chapter 293: Chapter 220: Shangguan Shengxian Finally Defeated (Part 2)

The Black Tortoise Demon King and the Vermilion Bird Demon King were utterly terrified!

Among the Demon Race, they were top figures, second only to the Demon Queen.

The Divinity Transformation was the strongest they knew.

No greater force had ever appeared in the Emperor Origin Realm.

Yet now, the sword wielded by a Divinity Transformer was like a clay sculpture in the hands of this sickly girl…

When did such an existence appear in the Emperor Origin Realm?

So powerful it brings despair!

The sickly girl raised her hand indifferently, and an irresistible force pinned the Black Tortoise Demon King at her feet. She pressed her hand onto his armor, which cracked inch by inch as he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Immediately, the Black Tortoise Demon King’s eyes bulged, his whole body in convulsion.

The sickly girl was performing a Soul Searching!

The Vermilion Bird Demon King, watching this scene, was filled with icy dread, her body trembling.

She instinctively wanted to flee, but lacked the courage–

Knowing that if the girl wished to kill her, it might only take a glance, a thought, a snap of her fingers!

What kind of monster was this?!

Not just them, even if the Demon Emperor was reborn, he would probably be…like an ant in front of her!

The sickly girl slowly read the memories of the Black Tortoise Demon King.

At this moment, a Jade Talisman on her suddenly lit up–

She picked up the messaging Jade Talisman.

Inside was news sent back by the White Tiger Empress–

“Suspected sighting of Li An within the borders of Yan Country!”

Only that sentence!

But Shangguan Shengxian’s eyes flickered immediately.

In that brief moment of thought, the subdued Black Tortoise Demon King suddenly roared, “Go–”

Then his body surged violently and exploded–

The Black Tortoise Demon King chose to self-destruct!

The Vermilion Bird Demon King, seeing this, quickly turned and fled, reaching a teleportation array in an instant, activating it, her figure diving into it!

And the sickly girl gracefully distanced herself, frowning slightly.

The self-destruction of the Black Tortoise Demon King wasn’t enough to harm her in the slightest; she just didn’t want to be stained with blood.

“Not here, nor in Great Li, turns out, in Yan Country… truly like a cunning rabbit with many burrows.”

She whispered, not pursuing the Vermilion Bird Demon King, intending to leave.

–From the moment she arrived, she had used her Divine Sense to scan the entire Celestial Killer Mountain Range.

A wasteland of ashes, all life exterminated, only the two Demon Kings remained.

Li An was not here!

But suddenly, she halted, muttering, “No, if he truly practiced that Immortal Technique, he could hide his aura–”

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and the already ravaged Celestial Killer Mountain Range began to freeze instantaneously, a terrifying cold sweeping underground, enveloping the entire range!

Where the cold reached, the depths of the earth, all life and vitality would be thoroughly strangled, and endure the piercing cold through to the heart, no one could resist–

After a long wait.

She finally confirmed, there were no living beings at the bottom of the Celestial Killer Mountain Range.

Only then did she turn to leave.

Her speed was extremely fast, soon arriving in Yan Country.

The ancestral lands of the Jiang Clan had long since become ruins.

With a sweep of her Divine Sense, she found a cave dwelling here, inside which Li An was surprisingly sitting, cultivating.

But Shangguan Shengxian’s brow slightly furrowed, with a wave of her hand, the cave dwelling exploded, the “Li An” inside was grabbed out by her.

After a closer look, the anger in her eyes was irrevocable, uncontrollable!

“Li An!”

She roared skyward, her voice resonating throughout the heavens, her killing intent so fierce it caused eagles in the nine skies to plummet!

At this moment, Shangguan Shengxian was truly at her limit, furious to the extreme!

As the Grand Princess of the Demon Sect, she had been strong all her life, undefeated by others, and even in the Spirit Realm, she was renowned… Now, to have been deceived three times in a row.

First in Great Li, then in the Celestial Killer Mountain Range…

And now Yan Country!

Especially this time in Yan Country, it was pure mockery and taunting from Li An.

For placing a puppet here served no purpose–it was simply to toy with her!

“If I don’t kill you, I, Shangguan Shengxian, swear I am no human!”

In her heart, a Heart Demon had indeed formed, a shadow cast, this was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation she had ever endured.

“Well, master, is it him?”

At this moment, the White Tiger Empress finally appeared, standing respectfully behind her.

The sickly girl stood with her back to the White Tiger Empress for a long, long time, before finally speaking calmly:

“No.”

No.

The White Tiger Empress was immediately stunned…

Li An was neither in Great Li, nor in the Celestial Killer Mountain Range, and this one in Yan Country was a fake too?

So, where on earth is Li An?

…

Meanwhile.

In a city of the Nanli Kingdom.

“Made it big, made it big…”

Li An picked up heaps of storage bags and rings from the ruins, his heart filled with joy!

Indeed, Li An did not remain at the Celestial Killer Mountains at all!

Instead, he set off with Shee Anqi’s great army…

Because from his assessment, the safest place now happens to be this domineering Demon Army!

Li An used the strategy of feigning one way while going another, betting that Shangguan Shengxian would stay in the Great Li capital, but Shangguan Shengxian is not an ordinary person. With her cunning and intelligence, could she see through all of Li An’s arrangements?

It’s possible!

Moreover, with her capabilities and insight, could she also have made arrangements in the Celestial Killer Mountains?

These are all very possible.

This plan involves too many people and too many factors.

Any problem in any link could make Li An die without a burial place.

So, after thinking it over, Li An simply chose the most secure method —

Since both Great Li and the Celestial Killer Mountains have certain dangers, then Li An decided not to stay in either place.

Instead, he followed Shee Anqi’s Demon Army, moving around and attacking wherever they went.

By following the army, he could not only avoid her but also seize supplies, wasn’t it tempting?

Shangguan Shengxian is definitely a truly smart person, but she doesn’t know Li An well enough.

Indeed, Li An has feelings for Gu Hong, and he craves the Demon Blood of many talented individuals in the Immortal Talent Hall.

But what Li An valued most has always been his own life.

Everything else, Li An would only strive for after ensuring his safety.

If he couldn’t achieve it, whether it’s Gu Hong or Demon Blood… he could forgo it all.

As long as he could survive.

When Shangguan Shengxian saw through everything, she might think Li An was forcing her to choose, but actually, no matter what choice she made, she couldn’t catch Li An.

Moreover, he left a puppet at the former residence of the Jiang Clan in Yan Country, waiting for Gu Hong to successfully enter Celestial Yang City before taking action —

According to Li An’s calculations, after Gu Hong officially enters the palace, Shangguan Shengxian would immediately realize that Li An was not in Great Li.

She would rush to the Celestial Killer Mountains.

With her strength truly there, the Demon Race at the Celestial Killer Mountains might suffer significant losses, and the things he left behind have a certain probability of being discovered.

And at this time, the last puppet activated would attract Great Li’s attention.

Upon learning that Li An was still in Yan Country, Shangguan Shengxian would certainly rush back immediately.

This way, it could buy some time for the Celestial Killer Mountains, making Shangguan Shengxian weary from rushing around.

However, even Li An did not expect that despite having made such arrangements, he still underestimated Shangguan Shengxian’s speed of action, and a Demon King was still killed at the Celestial Killer Mountains…

“My elder sister must be fuming…”

Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke with a complex expression. She knew Shangguan Shengxian too well; Shangguan Shengxian was proud and never without a plan, yet she planted a big fin under Li An’s hand, and was played three times…

“Let’s go back and take the Demon Blood,” she said.

“No,”

But Li An shook his head, “We can’t go back yet.”

Now, the Celestial Killer Mountains will certainly draw everyone’s attention, very dangerous.

We must wait!

“Let’s head to the edge of Xiling and take a look—”

Li An had a direction!

—When Li An saw the Demon Race army sweeping across Xiling Origin Continent, defeating various countries, he instantly realized that the Demon Realm must have different intentions this time!

The strategy he offered the Demon Realm was to dispatch some forces to harass Great Li and then ambush the enemy in the Celestial Killer Mountains.

But the army the Demon Realm dispatched… was over a million strong!

Initially, even the information Li An received was just Shee Anqi’s thirty thousand troops!

This sudden increase was enough to show that the Demon Realm had long been prepared.

No wonder his strategy went so smoothly; perhaps it was just because what he thought happened to align with a plan from the Demon Realm’s high-ups…

He subtly probed Shee Anqi, but Shee Anqi openly told him.

The real target of this action by the Demon Realm… is Xiling.

According to Shee Anqi, the Demon Realm has already clashed with Great Li Empire in Xiling many times. This time, the main force of the Demon Race has already deployed in Xiling; as soon as the main force of Great Li Empire appears, the other side will advance.

“Xiling, Tan Qingxue, what exactly are you plotting?”

Li An pondered for a moment but couldn’t guess.

This woman has experienced many worldly changes, and whether she is human anymore is hard to say. She is definitely no longer the naive Profound Yang Sect maiden of the past…

Li An wanted to leverage her, never expecting that he was also being used by her.

He helped the Demon Queen hold Shangguan Shengxian in check, while on the other side, the Demon Queen had an opportunity in Xiling…

However, now no matter what Tan Qingxue is thinking or doing, for Li An… it is advantageous.

Faced with a major enemy like Shangguan Shengxian… one must unite and make use of all forces.

…

Li An concealed himself, heading toward Xiling.

…

But unbeknownst to him, at this moment, the entire Xiling Origin Continent was already in turmoil.

First Princess Gu Hong’s wedding carriage was intercepted three times, and the groom unexpectedly disappeared without a trace. When the news spread, the world learned that the Saint Child of the Immortal Talent Hall, Fei Tianqi, as well as the Hall Master and hundreds of the Hall’s elites…

All perished in the Celestial Killer Mountains!

“Li An!”

The White Tiger Empress issued an order: “Li An, out of old affection for Gu Hong, joined the Demon Race to save her, scheming to kill the Hall Master of the Immortal Talent Hall, four hundred geniuses, and dozens of Nascent Souls!”

“This person is guilty of the most heinous crimes, and should be executed by everyone under heaven!”

With this order, the world was in an uproar!

In an instant, the name Li An…

Shook the world!
