Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#491 - Yun Zhao's Conspiracy

Crab Heaven pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I have no way out. I can't kill anyone to silence them now. The one you sent was just a sacrificial puppet, killing it is useless.

I am willing to cooperate with you. You are responsible for engraving the array, and I will prepare the sacrifices. Then, I will lead the crab clan to surround this place and kill them.

As for that woman, I must have her. She has been oppressing me for a long time. This time, I will take the opportunity to subdue her and make her my concubine, to see how arrogant she can still be."

Crab Heaven's eyes gleamed, full of greed.

Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement: "Okay, happy cooperation."

After saying that, the sacrificial puppet disappeared.

Crab Heaven's mouth twitched, his eyes playful, and he muttered "Unlucky," then left to prepare the sacrifices.

He rushed to a remote sea area and gathered over a thousand sea beasts closely related to the Great Ape King. These sea beasts were all at the third level. Although they were reluctant, they did not dare to keep them in the face of the Great Ape King's power.

Li Chengfeng examined these sea beasts and nodded in satisfaction: "I will handle the subsequent matters."

With a thought, the Heavenly Dao Brush appeared, and he quickly engraved arrays on each sea beast. This array could attract heavenly lightning, which is the nemesis of ghosts.

Under the heavenly lightning, that woman and her ghost puppets would surely be reduced to ashes. The plan was perfect.

Crab Heaven's expression changed unpredictably.

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "Don't hesitate anymore. If you don't cooperate, you will be controlled by her forever.

If you displease that woman one day, you will not escape misfortune either. In this chaotic sea area, conspiracies are constant. Cooperate with me, and I can keep you safe, only taking what I need. Isn't that wonderful?"

Crab Heaven finally made up his mind: "Okay, it's settled then."

The two hit it off, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and the day of sacrifice arrived.

Crab Heaven drove the sea beasts towards the depths of the sea, while Li Chengfeng controlled the Living World Space, following quietly behind, waiting for the opportunity to seize the Yellow Spring Ghost Tree.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly. He quickly arrived at the Funeral Sea Area and contacted its owner, the red-clothed woman Dai Qianmo, through a secret method.

Soon, a vortex suddenly appeared, accompanied by a thousand sacrificial third-level sea beasts. They disappeared with Crab Heaven on the spot, apparently teleported to some internal space.

Li Chengfeng indeed controlled the Living World Space, quietly infiltrating it.

His eyes flickered constantly, as if the river of history was swirling within them.

He repeatedly pondered everything he had done, as well as the various methods of those big shots.

Suddenly, a figure emerged in his mind – Xue Qingchen.

He secretly wondered, how would Xue Qingchen deal with this matter? Xue Qingchen, he had always believed, was the smartest, wisest, and most powerful person, skilled at utilizing all resources and deeply versed in the art of forbearance, always able to win with the least cost.

Thinking of this, a trace of confusion welled up in Li Chengfeng's heart, but a smile hung on his lips.

He once again steered the Living World Space, delving deeper into it. It was still under that huge Yellow Spring Ghost Tree. After a surge of black mist, the beautiful red-clothed woman Dai Qianmo appeared before Crab Heaven.

She looked at the third-level sea beasts on the ground and smiled charmingly: "Not bad, your ability to handle matters is much stronger than the Great Ape King's.

If this is successful, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

After saying that, she waved her fair hand, leaving behind afterimages, and a huge altar appeared out of thin air, enveloping the sea beasts.

Instantly, a powerful sacrificial force gushed out, and the sea beasts instantly turned into nothingness, blood flowing like a river. Even their souls and resentment were not spared, turning into rolling energy, absorbed by the Yellow Spring Ghost Tree.

Suddenly, a violent power of the Heavenly Dao erupted, and the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning suddenly crossed space and time, striking fiercely at the Yellow Spring Ghost Tree.

Ghostly energy surged instantly, and the guards on the Ghost Tree, especially the ghost puppet of the late Nascent Soul cultivator, bore the brunt, rushing towards the lightning fearlessly.

At this time, the lightning was at its strongest peak, and the ghost puppet was instantly shattered by the violent lightning, its bones and flesh gone, leaving only wisps of green smoke rising.

The remaining ghost puppets were not spared either, and they all used their bodies to resist the heavenly lightning.

The red-clothed woman Dai Qianmo roared, and her flawless jade hand grabbed, and an altar suddenly shrouded towards Crab Heaven.

A huge halberd appeared in Crab Heaven's hand, shimmering with a palpitating light.

He waved it fiercely and shouted: "Break it for me!"

The mana in his body surged out, and with the wave of the halberd, a crescent-shaped water blade cut through the sky. Countless ghosts roared within the water blade, colliding fiercely with the altar. With a loud bang, the altar was shaken and rolled.

Crab Heaven laughed loudly: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time, Goddess. Today, I will let you see my true strength!"

Before he finished speaking, countless lightning bolts had turned the remaining puppets into green smoke, falling on the Yellow Spring Ghost Tree, causing it to let out a shrill scream, trembling non-stop, with lightning raging and running rampant on it.

Taking this opportunity, Li Chengfeng leaped out, waved his fingers lightly, and cast a secret technique. The sea of lightning churned, turning into three lightning dragons that broke through the air, heading straight for the Yellow Spring Ghost Tree.

These three lightning dragons were transformed by him using the Sea of Lightning technique, and their violent power was no less than that of heavenly lightning, causing the Yellow Spring Ghost Tree and its guards to feel unprecedented fear, with constant shrill roars.

At this critical moment, a gust of demonic wind suddenly rose, and a huge figure stood in front of the lightning.

Its whole body was covered with steel-needle-like fluff, its muscles were knotted, full of earth-shattering power, holding a towering giant stick, and with a fierce wave, it shattered the three lightning dragons.

The Great Ape King looked at Li Chengfeng with piercing eyes and sneered: "Finally, your true form has been lured out. I see how you can escape today.

Hand over my Second Nascent Soul, or I will definitely grind your bones to ashes!"

Li Chengfeng's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in surprise: "Great Ape King, so the one who was killed last time was your clone, and this is your true self."

The Great Ape King laughed loudly, his laughter filled with joy: "That's right, you all thought that I, the Great Ape King, was just an incompetent madman, only knowing how to fight bravely, but you didn't know that I also have my calculations.

This time's scheme is specifically for you, Li Chengfeng.

Because we were not sure whether you would come in person or just send a sacrificial puppet.

Now, we have not only lured out your true form, but also set up a special great array, solidifying the space."

At this time, the woman Dai Qianmo and Crab Heaven stopped fighting, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically. The Yellow Spring Ghost Tree was no longer so huge, only ten zhang tall, and its leaves swayed gently in the wind.

The ghostly energy became more and more intense, and a black-robed man walked out from the depths of the forest, with delicate features, like a handsome scholar, but his eyes revealed evil and strangeness.

He wore a smile of success on his lips and said to Li Chengfeng: "In order to catch you, we have tried our best, directing and acting in this big show. From beginning to end, our Heavenly Fate Masters have suffered heavy losses.

Let me introduce myself, I am Yun Zhao, the head of the Heavenly Fate Sect of the Heavenly Fate Mountain.

My Heavenly Fate Sect has always been sparsely populated. The high-level Heavenly Fate Masters who died at your hands are no less than eight if not ten.

You have repeatedly disrupted our plans, so I have spared no expense to lure you here. From the Great Ape King pretending to be a Dragon Turtle, all of this is a scheme, a scheme within a scheme."

Li Chengfeng frowned tightly and said in a deep voice: "So that's how it is. I thought I was smart, but I didn't expect to fall into your trap.

But your price is too high, isn't it? The Great Ape King lost an avatar, and three Heavenly Fate Masters were lost in the last sacrifice.

And in the last contest, your Heavenly Fate Sect gained nothing.

Is it really worth it just to kill a trivial little person like me?"
