Chapter 905 - 397: An Old Enemy Strikes, No Longer Like Back Then

"Daoist Huang Sha, I’m afraid we won’t be able to take down this Li Chang’an today. We should retreat."

"No! Don’t be hasty, Daoist Holy Fire. Another Daoist is on his way."

"Oh? I wonder who..."

Before he could finish speaking, Holy Fire True Monarch sensed the aura of another Nascent Soul True Monarch. In the blink of an eye, the aura arrived and transformed into a man in a white robe.

White Tiger True Monarch!

His appearance once again shattered the balance. Many years ago, he had made a move against Li Chang’an, only to be stopped by Zi Xia True Monarch. Now, he was attacking again. Although it was somewhat disgraceful, he had never cared about his reputation.

"Everyone, why don’t you hand Li over to me for interrogation? I will certainly guarantee fairness," White Tiger True Monarch said with a smile, looking at the crowd.

He was doing this, naturally, not for the Battle of Righteous and Evil, but purely for the fortuitous encounters Li Chang’an possessed.

Facing these three, Jiang Xuanyuan and Wang Yannian both looked grave. Today’s events had not only exceeded Holy Fire’s expectations but theirs as well. If a fight broke out, they had no confidence in stopping these three.

Suddenly, another Nascent Soul True Monarch’s aura appeared.

"White Tiger, would a shameless scoundrel like you actually care about fairness?"

Li Chang’an, taking the form of his clone Lin Fan, appeared on Changqing Mountain. He walked forward slowly, arriving beside Wang Yannian and Jiang Xuanyuan to confront White Tiger True Monarch and his two companions.

The two sides were evenly matched once again. Although Li Chang’an was only at the Fake Soul stage, he had already proven that he possessed True Soul strength by stepping on the reputation of White Tiger True Monarch’s junior brother, Cui Ling.

Upon seeing him, White Tiger True Monarch’s face darkened. He shouted coldly, "Lin Fan, my junior brother hasn’t been at the Nascent Soul Formation stage for long and hasn’t adapted to his Nascent Soul strength. If he was given a little more time, the victor between you two would be unpredictable!"

"Could it be that Daoist White Tiger has forgotten? My time in Nascent Soul Formation is also short," Li Chang’an responded coldly, showing no politeness.

Whether it was White Tiger True Monarch or Huang Sha True Monarch, they had long been on his hit list. Back then, he could only rely on the protection of other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, but now things were different. Although it would be difficult to kill the two of them right now, he didn’t mind collecting some interest first.

Hearing his words, White Tiger True Monarch’s expression turned even uglier. His eyes instantly turned platinum, and his robes fluttered without wind. A colossal White Tiger phantom emerged behind him, looking as though he intended to fight Li Chang’an.

In an instant, the winds and clouds between heaven and earth shifted. The terrifying Nascent Soul battle intent brought an unimaginable oppressive force, nearly suffocating the numerous Cultivators on Changqing Mountain.

Seeing that a massive battle was about to erupt, a soft female voice suddenly rang out from afar.

"Six Daoists, the Demonic path is rampant right now. Why start a civil war?"

The speaker was an older generation Nascent Soul Powerhouse of the Purple Mist Sect, Ming Xia True Monarch!

She stepped between the two factions, using her Middle Stage of Nascent Soul strength to forcefully suppress the rising battle intent. Seeing her arrive, Zi Xi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Today’s civil war within the Righteous Dao would likely not be fought.

Sure enough, the imposing auras of both sides gradually dispersed, and peace returned to the world.

Subsequently, facing Ming Xia True Monarch’s questions, Holy Fire True Monarch had no choice but to explain the cause of today’s events. As he spoke, more and more Nascent Soul True Monarchs arrived. True Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Zi Xia, and others appeared, quickly gathering a crowd of nearly twenty Nascent Souls. They had come, naturally, to stop the civil war within the Righteous Dao.

However, they all found the cause of this conflict unbelievable.

"All for Li Chang’an?" Cyan Dragon True Monarch frowned, glancing at Li Chang’an. He had never imagined that a mere Golden Core cultivator could stir up such a massive storm.

Vermilion Bird and the others felt the same way. None of them could figure out why Jiang Xuanyuan and the other two were trying so hard to protect Li Chang’an.

"What is so special about this boy?" Zi Xia True Monarch wondered, her gaze falling upon Li Chang’an. This was the first time she had taken a proper look at him. Before today, she had always viewed Li Chang’an as merely a lucky junior, never paying him the slightest attention.

Soon, everyone understood the reason. It was simply because Wang Qianling and Jiang Muyu were standing on either side of Li Chang’an.

"So that’s how it is," they said, casting strange looks at Wang Yannian and Jiang Xuanyuan. It was obvious that these two were not making a move for Li Chang’an, but rather for their descendants.

Vermilion Bird True Monarch chuckled. "I can see it now. These two most likely want Li Chang’an to marry into their families."

Qi Jiuyang also laughed. "Li’s appearance and temperament are indeed extraordinary. He is on par with me in my youth."

Vermilion Bird True Monarch glanced at him, shook her head slightly, and remained silent. She looked at Li Chang’an’s Lin Fan identity and asked, "Daoist Lin, why did you intervene?"

"I was passing through, felt bored, and just lent a hand."

This casual excuse left everyone speechless. They had considered many possibilities, but they had never expected such an answer.

White Tiger True Monarch shouted, "Lin Fan, since you are so idle, why don’t you go to the Northern Plains to fight the Demon Cultivators?"

"Fighting Demon Cultivators is risky. Fighting you is not."

"You..." White Tiger True Monarch’s face turned livid, his fury surging as he prepared to attack. But the crowd quickly held him back to prevent the civil war from starting anew.

In the end, White Tiger True Monarch left, seething with anger. Huang Sha True Monarch and Holy Fire True Monarch did not linger either, departing the area one after another. The rest of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs also took their leave. As for the "Demonic path spy" matter mentioned by Holy Fire True Monarch, it ultimately fizzled out. After all, there was more than one Nascent Soul True Monarch vouching for Li Chang’an.

Afterward, Li Chang’an found an excuse to send his Lin Fan clone away. Changqing Mountain returned to peace once more, leaving only Wang Yannian and Jiang Xuanyuan, the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

"Please have a seat, you two seniors!" Li Chang’an immediately hosted them, taking a seat at the very front.

The two exchanged a glance, the atmosphere slightly awkward. Their intentions for coming here today seemed to be exactly the same.

Long Niu suddenly walked up to Li Chang’an and patted his shoulder with its hoof. "I think these two guys are planning to snatch a son-in-law. If they start fighting, one of you won’t be enough to go around. You’ll likely get split in half."
