Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 223 - 180: Mystic Moon Demon Core, Zheng Qingqing in Peril
Chapter 223: Chapter 180: Mystic Moon Demon Core, Zheng Qingqing in Peril
“Woof! Woof!”
His eyes were full of gratitude, conveying his delight.
Li Chang’an smiled, patting his head and telling him to get some rest.
Then, he turned to look at the Profound Moon Cat Demon within the Array.
Under the combined assault of the Array and the Evil Soul, the Cat Demon was now covered in wounds and its breathing was faint. It was barely clinging to life.
But its face was still filled with ferocity. With a mouth full of blood, it continuously snarled at the Evil Soul.
But the Evil Soul was even more vicious.
“Die!”
The Evil Soul roared as the black mist roiling around it coalesced into a pitch-black Long Spear and stabbed down hard.
SHLICK!
The strike instantly pierced the Cat Demon’s skull!
It let out a wretched howl and died!
’It’s finally dead.’
Li Chang’an slowly let out a breath of relief.
He recalled the Evil Soul, and holding a sharp blade, he walked over to the Cat Demon’s corpse.
With a CRACK, he sliced open the Cat Demon’s skull.
A moment later, a very special Demon Core appeared in Li Chang’an’s hand.
The Demon Core was a translucent white, glowing faintly as if condensed from endless moonlight. It was completely free of any bloody scent, and the power contained within was incredibly gentle.
If used for Alchemy, it would require almost no special processing.
It was a superior choice for Alchemy!
“I finally got it!”
Joy spread across Li Chang’an’s face, a trace of excitement appearing in his eyes.
The main purpose of this trip had been achieved!
After this, as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely obtain a High-quality Foundation Establishment Pill!
’Hooo…’
Li Chang’an took a few deep breaths, suppressing his emotions.
He knew it wasn’t time to celebrate just yet.
He hadn’t left the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
Anything could still happen.
’I need to leave quickly.’
With a flicker of his body, he retrieved the Array Flags and Array Treasures from the void, swiftly putting away the four sets of Arrays.
Then, he collected the Cat Demon’s corpse and cleaned up all the bloodstains.
After finishing all of this, Li Chang’an quickly sped away, leaving the area.
…
「Two days later, at dusk.」
By the bank of a clear stream.
Li Chang’an sat cross-legged, taking a short rest.
The return trip had been quite smooth.
He hadn’t encountered any danger.
After two days of recovery, Dahuang’s injuries had mostly healed, and he was back to his lively, energetic self.
He leaped into the stream, caught two plump green fish, and brought them to Li Chang’an.
“Well done.”
Li Chang’an smiled, took the fish, and cooked them with his Spirit Fire.
The man and his dog quickly finished the two fish.
A moment later, Li Chang’an set off again, traveling through the night.
For an ordinary Cultivator, the Black Dragon Mountain Range was much more dangerous at night than during the day.
But Li Chang’an’s strength had already surpassed the “ordinary” category. He himself was the greatest danger in this area, so he didn’t need to worry too much.
Before he knew it, the night had deepened.
That night at Midnight, a golden light appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes as usual.
[Divination Has Been Refreshed]
[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]
[On your way back, you discover Zheng Qingqing being hunted by a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse from the Cyan Cloud Sect. You intervene, rescue her, kill her opponent, and obtain many Treasures.]
Seeing the content of this Divination, Li Chang’an froze.
He stopped moving.
He carefully read the entire Divination again.
’Zheng Qingqing is being hunted?’
Li Chang’an’s brows furrowed.
’How could Zheng Qingqing have provoked a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse from the Cyan Cloud Sect?’
’Could it be because of Cao Shaolong?’
’No matter what, Zheng Qingqing can’t die.’
Li Chang’an made up his mind. After all, he still needed Zheng Qingqing to perform Alchemy for him.
The quality of the materials he had for the Foundation Establishment Pill was simply too high. He didn’t trust any other Tier Two Alchemist with them.
…
「The next day.」
Li Chang’an continued on his original route.
Along the way, he released Xiaohai and Dahuang, ordering them to keep an eye on their surroundings.
Time ticked by, and it was soon midday.
Just then, Dahuang suddenly rushed over from a distance to report something to Li Chang’an.
“You found signs of a fight?”
Li Chang’an’s expression grew solemn, and he immediately had Dahuang lead the way.
A moment later, he arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Here, countless plants had been burned to charcoal, and the ground was riddled with holes.
Evidently, a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator skilled in Fire Techniques had fought here.
’Could I be too late?’
Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened as he spotted a patch of dried blood.
The aura from the blood was Zheng Qingqing’s!
’Zheng Qingqing is formidable in Magical Combat. She shouldn’t die so easily.’
“Xiaohai, Dahuang, keep searching!”
With a flicker of his body, Li Chang’an continued along his planned route.
About a quarter of an hour later,
Dahuang once again discovered a battleground.
The traces of Fire Techniques in this area were even more terrifying. The ground was scorched black, its original appearance almost unrecognizable.
Li Chang’an found more bloodstains, which again belonged to Zheng Qingqing.
In addition, he also sensed the aura of Water Element Magical Power.
’Zheng Qingqing’s opponent must be a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse with a Water Spirit Root. According to the Five Elements, Water suppresses Fire!’
Li Chang’an’s brow was tightly furrowed, but he didn’t linger.
For a while after that,
he successively discovered more than a dozen battle sites.
Clearly, the battle had been going on for a long time.
Zheng Qingqing was severely injured, fighting as she retreated to an unknown location.
About an hour later, as Li Chang’an was speeding along,
a sharp shout suddenly rang out in the distance.
“Zheng Qingqing, do you think you can escape?”
Hearing this voice, Li Chang’an stopped immediately.
His expression was grave. He called over Xiaohai and Dahuang, put them into his Spirit Beast Bag, and then stealthily approached the source of the sound.
Before long, two figures appeared in his line of sight.
One of them was none other than Zheng Qingqing!
At this moment, her pretty face was pale and she was covered in wounds. She stood atop a fiery-red lotus Spiritual Artifact, protecting herself with a shield of fluttering petals.
Across from her stood a woman in a long, water-blue dress.
The woman had a vicious expression and triangular eyes. Her body surged with Water Element Magical Power, and her attacks were extremely ruthless.
She was also injured, but she was in much better condition than Zheng Qingqing.
“Zheng Qingqing, I’m going to take your head as a birthday gift for Junior Brother Cao!”
