Eternal Life by Daily Divination

He gave Xiao Yiyue, Xiao Haoran, and the others the same reply.

He told them to watch from the side and not to interfere.

Mo Qingxue, however, asked nothing.

Having known Li Chang’an for many years, she was well aware of his character.

The moment he appeared, the Xiahou father and son were already as good as dead.

To the side, Pei Yingyao watched Li Chang’an with a complicated expression.

She truly never expected that the Qi Refining Junior Cultivator she had met by chance back then could have come this far, step by step, to become a Golden Core Master who now held all of Yellow Crane Mountain in his sway.

"Li Chang’an, have you thought this through?"

"Daoist Pei, are you planning to stop me?"

"Of course not."

Pei Yingyao shook her head lightly, retracting her Sword Qi. She showed no hint of hostility.

She had made a promise to Li Chang’an back at his Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

If Li Chang’an ever had the power to strike back, she wouldn’t stop him, even if he wanted to overturn all of Yellow Crane Mountain.

Over the years, she had grown weary of the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage’s various deeds.

"I just want to tell you, Yellow Crane Mountain has two Tier Three Top Grade Grand Arrays. Both are controlled by my senior brother, He Qianshan. He also has killing intent toward you, so you must be on your guard against him."

Pei Yingyao had no idea that He Qianshan had long since become Li Chang’an’s Puppet, which was why she offered the warning.

The others present were equally unaware.

In Xiahou Hong’s mind, the Tier Three Arrays controlled by He Qianshan were his greatest reliance.

"Li Chang’an, if you had stayed inside that turtle shell on Changqing Mountain, I might not have been able to do anything to you. But since you’ve come seeking your own death, then I’ll..."

"Wait!"

Liang Chang of the Cyan Cloud Sect suddenly spoke up to stop them.

He stepped between the two men and let out a deep sigh.

"Fellow Daoists, must you take things this far?"

As he spoke up, others also chimed in to persuade them.

Wang Xuanjian advised, "Daoist Li, Daoist Xiahou, the Western Domain is strong right now while our Southern Domain is weak. The power of every Golden Core Master is precious. We cannot afford to fight amongst ourselves any longer."

"If this fight continues, we will only become a laughingstock for the Western Domain!"

Most of the people present agreed with this sentiment.

A man in a green robe said to Li Chang’an, "Daoist Li, what happened back then was just a trivial matter. You didn’t suffer any real loss, so why not be a little more magnanimous?"

"Magnanimous?"

Li Chang’an glanced at the man.

This person was named Ye Sang, a Tier Three Top Grade Spirit Doctor.

He was quite famous in the Southern Domain, renowned for his incredible skill and benevolent heart. His kind nature made him an honored guest among the various powers.

Li Chang’an couldn’t be bothered to respond to such a person.

As for the others’ words of admonishment, he ignored them as well.

His expression was cold as his aura surged. The full might of a Golden Core Master’s presence was released without reservation, pressing down on all of Yellow Crane Mountain.

Seeing this, the expressions of the crowd shifted slightly. They all knew he was about to make his move.

Xiahou Hong barked coldly, "Li Chang’an, I suppressed you once back then, and I can suppress you a second time today!"

His own aura climbed steadily, rising to meet Li Chang’an’s head-on. He was determined to slay Li Chang’an, his Heart Demon.

At the same time, he covertly sent a Sound Transmission to He Qianshan.

"Senior Brother, activate the arrays immediately and suppress this brat!"

Not even a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator could easily handle a Tier Three Top Grade Array, let alone an Early Stage Golden Core like Li Chang’an.

If nothing went wrong, in the next instant, he would see Li Chang’an suppressed and completely immobilized.

However, He Qianshan gave no response.

The Grand Arrays of Yellow Crane Mountain remained quiet, as if they didn’t exist at all.

A sliver of unease grew in Xiahou Hong’s heart. He sent another Sound Transmission: "Senior Brother, hurry and activate the arrays! This Li Chang’an is cunning by nature. If we miss this chance, I’m afraid he’ll never dare to come to Yellow Crane Mountain again. Today is the perfect opportunity to kill him!"

But no matter what he said, He Qianshan gave no reply whatsoever.

The unease in Xiahou Hong’s heart grew thicker and thicker.

At that very moment, Li Chang’an waved his hand, and the very atmosphere around Yellow Crane Mountain shifted.

"Xiahou Hong, are you waiting for the arrays?"

BOOM!

One after another, Tier Three Arrays materialized, emitting a terrifying aura that struck fear into the hearts of the countless Low Tier Cultivators who had come for the Core Formation Ceremony.

Even many of the Golden Core Masters were shaken, staring in disbelief at the arrays appearing around them.

Why were Yellow Crane Mountain’s Tier Three Arrays under Li Chang’an’s control?

If he could so easily seize control of Yellow Crane Mountain’s arrays, that meant he could also take control of the arrays of the other Golden Core Influences at any time!

The faces of Du Han, Nie Yu, and the others turned utterly grim.

This was the very scene they had wanted to avoid seeing the most.

As for Xiahou Hong, a chill ran down his spine, as if he had been plunged into an abyss.

The fear he had barely managed to suppress now surged forth madly, consuming all his other emotions.

"This is impossible! This... this must be an Illusion Technique!"

He tried his best to control his voice, but a slight tremor still crept in.

The Tier Three Arrays were his greatest support, yet that very support was now controlled by Li Chang’an. How could he not panic?

"Li Chang’an, the arrays are controlled by my senior brother! He’s deep within the arrays right now! There’s no way you could control them! Don’t think you can fool me with an Illusion Technique!"

Xiahou Hong’s entire body tensed as he roared hoarsely.

At the same time, he frantically sent Sound Transmissions to He Qianshan, trying to get some kind of reply, but He Qianshan remained completely silent.

Li Chang’an watched him indifferently and beckoned with his hand.

"Xiahou Hong, let’s see if this is an illusion."

The moment his words fell, Xiahou Qian, who was standing beside Xiahou Hong, let out a wretched scream. His body flew uncontrollably through the air, stopping right before Li Chang’an.

With a sickening THUD, he was forced heavily to his knees. His kneecaps instantly shattered, leaving him utterly powerless before Li Chang’an.
