Chapter 485: Chapter 272: Anomalous Qi Dao Mark (Long Chapter)_2

Demon Emperor Essence!

Li An’s heart was stirred instantly, regarding the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor’s essence… he truly had a lead.

Jun Yelin!

This person is nurturing a spirit medium, whose role is to absorb the Celestial Demon essence.

All at once, he seemed to string together various clues…

Indeed, for Jun Yelin to successfully become a Demon Cultivator and vanish into the mysterious, the Sect Leader not only planned a Demon Seed for him but likely also gave him a piece of the Demon Emperor essence. The ultimate goal is probably the so-called Anomalous Qi mark.

In this light, this Anomalous Qi mark is crucial and should be the key to vanishing into the mysterious!

Li An then carefully inquired Ying Huaihai about the details of the Immortal’s sea extraction, including the situation of that cornered sea area, the location of the Exotic Spirit’s corpse, and more.

“I will report this matter to the Sect immediately and have it investigated.”

After clarifying everything, Li An said, “In that case, our next meeting might as well be later, how about fifty years? If not in fifty years, then a hundred years later.”

He needs to visit the Dao Sect, first to find out what exactly the Anomalous Qi mark is, what kind of existence the Mysterious Creatures are, and second to try to locate the so-called Exotic Spirit’s corpse or the Demon Emperor essence!

All this requires a lot of time, definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

Ying Huaihai cupped his hands and said, “Alright!”

“In that case, let’s meet in fifty years!”

After he finished speaking, Ying Huaihai immediately turned around to leave.

“Fellow Daoist Ying, Dao Sect’s inspections are stringent, please do not come ashore in the near future to avoid being discovered by Dao Sect. Once caught, the consequences are unimaginable!”

Li An reminded him once again.

To prevent Ying Huaihai and others from coming again, what if they reconnect with the Demon Sect on the other side, wouldn’t his plan be disrupted?

“Alright!”

Ying Huaihai and his companions finally left and soon disappeared.

…

“Anomalous Qi mark!”

Li An had a target in mind, then he turned around and flew towards other cities.

His target was the many former human cities in the southern part of the Taiqing Realm.

Based on his experience, the Demon Sect’s Array Plates are always left in these places.

Because, after the creatures from the Southern Sea come, they generally go to these places, utilize the anomalous Qi of the deceased to cultivate, and then trigger the Demon Sect’s array.

Li An was very fast, and although the southern region of the Taiqing Realm was vast, three months later, Li An had basically swept through all the former human cities.

He discovered five more Array Plates!

The preparations made by the Demon Sect were indeed thorough.

Now, these five Array Plates were gently taken down by him, without damage and without triggering, so the Demon Sect was utterly unaware, as if dreaming.

It was like a fisherman’s hook being cut underwater without him knowing.

In the future, even if creatures from the Southern Sea come ashore again to absorb the city’s anomalous Qi, the Demon Sect won’t be able to detect it.

Afterward, Li An returned to Ying Meng’Er’s hiding place.

He checked it, and since the array had not been disturbed, it proved that Ying Meng’Er was still compliant and hadn’t attempted to escape.

“Miss Ying, how goes your cultivation?”

Li An asked with a smile.

Ying Meng’Er was extremely delighted, and at that moment, she couldn’t help but bow to Li An and said, “Thank you Senior for your support, this technique indeed can resolve Meng’Er’s crisis. Your great kindness is beyond words!”

She had already tasted the benefits of the Demon Skill.

After acquiring the Demon Skill, she could truly convert the anomalous Qi without bearing any side effects.

In fact, ordinary people couldn’t cultivate the Demon Skill at all. Her smooth cultivation was because the people of Yingyuan Island were born on the Southern Sea and often dealt with anomalous Qi, thus somewhat transformed into a Demon Body, enabling her to cultivate it.

“That’s good.”

Li An said, “This place is quite safe, please continue your cultivation here. I must return once. Next time I return, I will assist you in returning to Yingyuan Island!”

Ying Meng’Er was even more excited; if a great master like Li An was willing to help her, her chances of reclaiming Yingyuan Island would be much higher…

“Next time we meet, whether it’s fifty years or a hundred years later, please don’t worry.”

Li An smiled gracefully and left immediately.

Before leaving, he added another layer of array on the outer perimeter!

It was to prevent anyone from approaching and Ying Meng’Er from escaping.

This little bird was indeed invaluable!

…

After leaving this place, Li An didn’t forget to visit that small village he passed before.

In the village, many earthen graves had already been built. In front of the tomb, a young Yun Mo knelt, sweating profusely in pain yet remained motionless.

He was arduously practicing the technique Li An had given him.

Li An observed in secret and couldn’t help but nod. This lad had already accumulated a trace of Demonic Qi within. To reach this stage indicated that he practiced day and night relentlessly, truly showing some perseverance and determination.

Yun Mo was cultivating at a critical point, and was on the verge of fainting from the pain. At this moment, Li An finally appeared and placed a hand on his head. A stream of pure Magic Power instantly poured into his body, alleviating Yun Mo’s pain, making him feel extremely comfortable.

He turned his head, and when he saw Li An, tears welled up with excitement in his eyes, “Master… you have finally returned!”

He knelt and saluted profoundly.

“Disciple has been waiting for Master but thought you had forgotten about me…”

“Master, I have been cultivating as you instructed… please inspect!”

His eyes were filled with anxiety, fearing that Li An would not accept him.

Li An smiled and said, “I am aware, no need to check.”

“Since you have such determination, I shall accept you as my disciple!”

Yun Mo was overjoyed, hurriedly kowtowing, “Greetings, Master, greetings, Master!”

As he spoke, he took out a jade ornament from his sleeve, “Master, I have nothing valuable to offer you. This is the most precious item my mother left before she passed. Please accept it…”
