Chapter 517: Chapter 281: Xiao Xiao’s Deadly Predicament (Long Chapter) (Part 2)

Shui Changxiao nodded, "It’s good this way, but hastily, can the sealing objects be refined?"

Li An said, "I need Senior Shui’s help... The cultivators on this island are all about to die anyway, why not kill them all and use them to refine sealing objects for me?"

"These cultivators have been corroded by the anomalous qi, making them top-notch material, which can save a lot of effort!"

Shui Changxiao was startled, not expecting Ying Huaihai to be so ruthless, but after reconsidering, he agreed.

That day, a massacre erupted on the island!

Other than the forces from Yingyuan Island, the cultivators from other factions were all killed; however, this also sparked a great battle. The long-hidden Demon Sect elder, Xun Dongfang, revealed his strength but fled after being severely injured by Shui Changxiao.

This made Li An sigh deeply.

He had Shui Changxiao do this firstly to refine the sealing objects; after all, he planned to explore the subsequent underground pits and didn’t know what anomalies awaited, so having some sealing objects provided peace of mind. Secondly, it was because old Xun had been surviving stubbornly without dying, so it was time to deal with him.

Of course, there were also some Dao Sect disciples among them, but they were already on the brink of death, bound to die sooner or later, and Li An wouldn’t indulge them just because of his presence.

"Elder Ying, is this enough?"

Shui Changxiao brought a large number of corpses to Li An.

"That’s plenty!"

Li An bowed, "Then this junior will first return to Yingyuan Island to refine the sealing objects—"

"Good! I’ll see you off!"

Shui Changxiao also needed to conscript another batch of laborers, so it was on his way.

...

Walking out of Giant Tomb Island and feeling the fluctuations outside, Li An was quite shocked.

On the Southern Sea, huge waves seemed to become the norm, surging constantly as immortal dao material and anomalous qi rose and fell.

Shui Changxiao sent Li An back to Yingyuan Island, cupped his hands, and said, "Elder Ying, I’ll trouble you—I’ll come to pick you up in half a year!"

He departed immediately, secretly arranging for people to watch over Yingyuan Island to prevent Li An from escaping.

...

On Yingyuan Island, upon learning of Li An’s return, Island Master Ying Meng’Er, Elder Ying Zidai, and others hurried to greet him, but seeing Li An’s current state, everyone was astonished.

Li An looked as if he was not long for this world!

"Elder... what happened to you?"

Ying Meng’Er rushed up to support Li An, eyes full of distress and urgency, "Someone, quickly, bring the Pill—"

Li An waved his hand, "No need..."

"Elder, what on earth happened?"

Ying Zidai also asked in surprise.

Li An sighed deeply, ultimately choosing not to tell them anything, only saying, "I’m going to Nongchao Cliff to refine some things, have three hundred strong men selected."

"The survival of Yingyuan Island depends on this!"

Ying Meng’Er dared not delay, immediately ordering preparations, but when she wanted to ask more, Li An had already directly landed on Nongchao Cliff, activating the array there.

Yingyuan Island’s terrain is unique, and Nongchao Cliff is a place that gathers the marvels of world creation, ideal for refining sealing objects.

Li An threw the large number of corpses Shui Changxiao provided into the seafront waters of Detour Bay below Nongchao Cliff, and as the surrounding array activated, traces of coldness permeated from the seawater.

Just as Li An said, these bodies, permeated with anomalous qi, were very suitable.

Li An was refining sealing objects while waiting.

It was not until after more than ten days that a figure crossed through the array from outside Yingyuan Island, appearing on Nongchao Cliff.

Su Yebai!

He finally arrived.

"The dogs of the Dao Spirit Sect were guarding outside, it took a few more days, apologies for making Elder Ying wait."

Su Yebai smiled slightly, "Elder Ying, how are things on the island?"

Li An then recounted the island’s situation one by one, naturally skipping the part about the exotic spirit corpses.

"It seems Dao Spirit Sect will act within a few years... calculated, it’s about time!"

Su Yebai pondered for a moment, "If I’m not mistaken, Elder Ying, you should also have many exotic soil crystals with you?"

Li An’s face changed slightly, "There are some, but these things... aren’t useful to you, are they?"

Su Yebai laughed, "I’ve already told my master, the Mahayana stage magical artifact you wanted can be given to you after this is over."

"Moreover, we should cooperate sincerely. After all, you’ve been targeted by the Dao Spirit Sect, and without us, your fate would be no different from the other miners on the island."

Temptation, coercion!

Li An’s face was extremely unsightly, but gritting his teeth, he reluctantly took out several storage bags and said, "I can give you the things, but I need to know how I can survive? You have to guarantee my safety!"

Su Yebai said, "Even if you hadn’t asked, I would have told you."

"Do you know why the Spirit Sect wants you to excavate Giant Tomb Island?"

Li An said, "I don’t know."

"They intend to release some things from Giant Tomb Island during the world’s great change... hehe, but if everything is released, they can’t control it and it could cause great disaster. So they need to do something on Giant Tomb Island to guide it when the world’s great change happens, achieving their goals."

"You must take this opportunity to bury this on Giant Tomb Island—"

He took out an Ice Array Plate and handed it to Li An.

Li An took it and was immediately shocked; the array plate was extremely extraordinary. Li An’s attainment in arrays had already reached the level of great power, yet he couldn’t fully decipher its mysteries.

It contained a vast power...

Created by an immortal?
