Chapter 200: Seven Apertures and Delicate Heart

Zhang Qianmo's "I'll be right back" turned out to be quite a long time.

Three days and three nights passed, but there was no sign of him.

Li Fan stood on the Zixiao Feiyun, bored, observing Ningyuan City below.

In the battle between the two Golden Core cultivators, Zhang Qianmo and Song He Song, most of Ningyuan City had turned into ruins.

The Mortals who survived this unexpected disaster had cried themselves hoarse, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Mr. Bai said!"

"Those with strength, gather here. Let's work together to dig and rescue those who are still alive!"

"Those with minor injuries, help collect water and food…"

"Everyone, please place the more seriously injured in the small temple; Mr. Bai will treat them there!"

Just as the disaster victims were falling into despair, shouts suddenly rose in various parts of Ningyuan City, one after another.

Li Fan listened, finding it interesting.

Because the owners of these voices were all young children, about ten years old.

They were dressed in rags, and their bodies were thin.

But they were precocious and unusually clever.

The children's cries were like the dawn before daybreak, illuminating the darkness.

As if they had found their backbone, people gradually began to awaken from their numbness and helplessness.

Finally, they began to rescue themselves in an orderly manner.

Seeing this scene, Li Fan suddenly remembered the scene of organizing the rescue in the ruined Xuan Capital after he first met Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi.

While he was still contemplating, a surge of Spiritual Qi suddenly emanated from within the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.

"It seems that Miss Chixia has successfully drawn Qi into her body," Li Fan mused inwardly.

Sure enough, after half a day, Zhang Qianmo returned.

Although his expression remained calm, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Junior Brother, you've waited a long time!" Zhang Qianmo apologized.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for resolving a worry!" Li Fan said with a smile, "Is Miss Chixia not returning to the Sect with us?"

Zhang Qianmo waved his hand: "Let's wait for Grandmaster Sect Leader's decision before making a choice."

"Since we've waited this long, a little more time won't matter."

"Heh heh, in my opinion, it might be difficult for those old guys in the Sect to accept this so-called New Law in a short time," Zhang Qianmo sneered.

Li Fan also nodded, agreeing.

With only three or four days left in the Fallen Immortal Realm, Li Fan was not in a hurry to return.

He wanted to take this opportunity to visit the Zixiao Sect.

Li Fan had long admired the grand sight of an Immortal Cultivation Sect.

Unfortunately, the Zixiao Sect's mountain gate was quite far from Ningyuan City.

After traveling most of the way, Li Fan felt the surrounding scenery blur.

Images and sounds faded away one after another, and a moment later, Li Fan's consciousness returned to the tianxuan mirror.

A warm current inexplicably surged in his skull, bringing a slight stinging sensation.

Li Fan couldn't help but frown, but then, a look of joy appeared on his face.

With a slight recall, the content of the Purple Firmament Soul Observation Art in his mind appeared clearly, word for word.

"This method of [Equivalent Exchange] really works."

It was merely a technique for using Divine Soul, not a Cultivation Technique.

So, naturally, there was no prompt about the number of Cultivators.

With his experience in the Fallen Immortal Realm, Li Fan mastered it completely without much effort.

"With this Soul Searching Art, all that's left is for Zhou Qingang to retrieve those fifty Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Li Fan purchased some items in the tianxuan mirror to be fully prepared.

He Cultivated while waiting patiently.

Seven days later, after sensing Zhou Qingang change his appearance again and leave Taian Island.

Li Fan also left Wanxian Island at the same time, concealing his figure, and headed towards Zhou Qingang's location.

Li Fan had also visited the place where Zhou Qingang retrieved the Spirit Stones.

It was the Wan Cang Pavilion on Youlan Island, where he obtained He Zhenghao's legacy, "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Vein Array Chart," during his twelfth life.

He didn't follow him inside but quietly ambushed him outside.

Not long after, Zhou Qingang flew out of Youlan Island brazenly.

He flew towards a deserted, remote sea area, presumably to change his appearance back.

This was exactly what Li Fan wanted, and he quietly followed far behind.

With the Formless Killing Intent for positioning and monitoring, no matter what tricks or methods Zhou Qingang used, he couldn't shake off Li Fan's pursuit.

After more than half a day, Zhou Qingang felt safe.

He submerged into the seabed, found a ruin, and changed back to his original appearance.

Sensing the Top-Grade Spirit Stones worth fifty thousand contribution points in his storage ring, Zhou Qingang prepared to go to Wanxian Island first to pay off his debts.

However, the moment he surfaced, Zhou Qingang was horrified to find that for some unknown reason, his body suddenly stiffened and he lost control of it.

Moreover, a loud gong-like sound simultaneously exploded above his head.

He felt dizzy, and his ears rang loudly.

"Oh no!"

Only this thought had time to flash in his mind before Zhou Qingang was knocked unconscious.

Li Fan revealed himself, grabbed Zhou Qingang, and re-submerged into the seabed.

He found a building in the ruins, casually set up some Formations around it, and went inside.

He threw the unconscious and helpless Zhou Qingang onto the ground.

Then, he took out thirteen cold iron nails from his storage ring and pierced them into Zhou Qingang's body.

Only then did Li Fan cast the Purple Firmament Soul Observation Art.

Zhou Qingang's body began to convulse violently.

Images flashed rapidly before Li Fan's eyes.

"Using the [Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart] to build the Foundation Establishment, and [Appearance Changes with the Heart] to change one's appearance…"

"So that's how it is."

"To be able to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance as a spy, he really has some tricks up his sleeve."

Li Fan was immediately delighted.

Just as Li Fan was about to continue examining Zhou Qingang's Divine Soul for information about his superior and the organization he served, something like a Restriction seemed to be triggered.

A terrifying destructive force erupted from the depths of Zhou Qingang's Divine Soul.

Li Fan's expression changed, and he instantly withdrew his Divine Thought.

However, he could not stop this force from destroying Zhou Qingang's Divine Soul.

"Ah!"

Even in his coma, Zhou Qingang let out a miserable scream.

Then, Li Fan saw that his Divine Soul was instantly erased.

Although his life force was still present, he was like a walking corpse, becoming an empty shell.

"A confidentiality countermeasure, huh…"

Seeing this, Li Fan wasn't particularly surprised.

"It's a pity I couldn't uncover more secrets."

After a moment of thought, Li Fan cleared the traces of the Formation he had set up earlier.

Then, he carried Zhou Qingang's body and fled several hundred miles away.

He arrived at a sea area teeming with fish.

He threw Zhou Qingang towards the school of fish.

Although his Divine Soul was gone, the aura emanating from his Foundation Establishment cultivation made these fish naturally fear him.

They all kept their distance, not daring to use this body as food.

Seeing this, Li Fan used the Formless Killing Intent to lock onto the strongest fish in the school.

After that, he again fled a hundred miles away.

He activated the Formless Killing Intent targeting Zhou Qingang.
