Chapter 2167: He came of his own accord

After discussing the details of various actions, everyone then pretended nothing was wrong and went their separate ways, successively preparing to begin action.

The next day, the people of the city lord's mansion also discovered no problems.

However, many former attendants from the Dao One Immortal Sect began to wander about, intentionally or not.

But those passing by the city lord's mansion and the Li family members felt nothing wrong, and even smiled and nodded in greeting.

Both sides appeared quite friendly.

Little did they know, in secret, these attendants had already set up formation disks in the predetermined locations.

These formation disks were naturally prepared in advance; a single formation disk already possesses considerable power.

However, this is not enough to cause devastating consequences for the Li family, but these formation disks can be linked together to form a huge formation.

In this way, the lethality would increase by several times or more.

The plan proceeded smoothly; only another part remained: capturing Li Hongyan alive.

This matter has a dedicated person in charge, but compared to setting up the formation, it requires even more caution.

There is only one chance; if the first attempt fails, it will inevitably be exposed, and then the Li family will surely notice.

Therefore, while secretly setting up the formation, another group responsible for capturing Li Hongyan alive did not act rashly.

Everyone first needs to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to approach Li Hongyan, preferably when Li Hongyan is alone; that would be best.

As long as such an opportunity can be found, with this eminent expert of the Immortal Venerable Realm leading, the chances of capturing Li Hongyan are very high.

After all, Li Hongyan is only in the Immortal Emperor Realm, differing by a major realm.

At this moment, the few people responsible for capturing Li Hongyan alive gathered in the same Dong Fu.

"This matter must not be rushed; moreover, we must not let Li Hongyan sense danger. The formation can be set up first, and we should patiently wait for the opportunity."

"Hmm, we naturally understand this."

Over the next two days, everyone acted patiently, and the formation disks were almost completely set up.

Some core places of the Li family, the attendants could not enter, so they could only choose to give up.

However, after the formation is activated, it can still cover most of the city lord's mansion, and its power is enough to instantly raze this area to the ground.

All that remains now is to capture that old thing, Li Hongyan.

As for Li Hongyan's side, he originally planned to visit the attendants the next day, but due to a change in plans, he altered his itinerary.

This is mainly because the two ancestors said that those attendants inside the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Although after the previous operation, the Dao One Immortal Sect indeed lost a batch of attendants, there are still several thousand attendants remaining within the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Their backing forces are still not to be underestimated, which is also a point of great concern for the two ancestors.

Before taking action, we must first resolve this issue.

At this moment, inside a secret chamber, Li Hongyan and several elders of the family sat together, naturally discussing the matter of those attendants from the Dao One Immortal Sect.

At this moment, one of the elders spoke up.

"Sect Master, I think you can keep the appointment, temporarily appease the Dao One Immortal Sect, and then wait for an opportunity to contact those attendants."

Since the ancestors do not support taking action now, the best way to resolve those attendants is definitely to personally make contact.

Coincidentally, Qi Xiong took the initiative to send an invitation, wanting to apologize for the matter concerning Li He Li.

Although it's hard to say in his heart and his anger is hard to quell, no matter what, this is indeed an opportunity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he should first go to the Dao One Immortal Sect to see if there is anything actionable.

At the very least, he could gauge the Dao One Immortal Sect's strengths and weaknesses, making subsequent actions more convenient.

Merely hearing this, Li Hongyan's face darkened and looked unpleasant; sitting in the chief seat, silent, one could tell from his expression that he was extremely displeased with this plan.

He now wishes he could immediately destroy the Dao One Immortal Sect; he has no mood to appease them.

Moreover, he must pretend on the surface that nothing is wrong; just thinking about it makes him uncomfortable.

Understanding Li Hongyan's thoughts, another elder present spoke up to advise.

"Elder brother, acting without patience ruins great plans; what the Third Elder said is not without reason."

"Please, elder brother, think it over."

As these words fell, another person chimed in.

Faced with the advice of everyone present, Li Hongyan also understood that this is indeed a steady method, and moreover, there happens to be an excellent opportunity right before him.

There's no need to deliberately seek an opportunity; now, as long as Li Hongyan nods, he can openly enter the Dao One Immortal Sect, with no reason to refuse.

After a long silence, Li Hongyan finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Good, I'll listen to you."

Seeing Li Hongyan nod, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief; if they missed this excellent opportunity due to a moment's anger, that would truly be a loss outweighing the gain.

Immediately, in front of everyone, Li Hongyan took out a new Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán to contact Qi Xiong.

Soon after, the formation connected, and Qi Xiong's figure appeared on the light curtain, smiling as he greeted.

"Brother Li."

"Sect Master Qi, I agreed to the banquet you mentioned earlier."

Li Hongyan, suppressing his anger, spoke; upon hearing this, Qi Xiong in the formation light curtain immediately became delighted and said with a smile.

"Good, good, good, then how about three days from now, Brother Li?"

"Good, then three days later."

"Alright, then I will surely personally welcome you at that time."

After the time was set, Li Hongyan also couldn't be bothered with more talk, quickly ending the formation connection, for fear that saying a few more words would cause his anger to erupt.

Seeing the time agreed upon, the elders present also all felt relieved.

Not bad, the plan is proceeding smoothly.

With the plan in place, Li Hongyan, on one hand, prepares to go to the Dao One Immortal Sect for the banquet in three days; however, during this period, this batch of "former attendants" in the city lord's mansion still needs to be contacted.

After all, making preparations on both fronts is also a bit more secure.

If things don't go well inside the Dao One Immortal Sect later, we can still look for a breakthrough from this group of 'former attendants'.

As for Li Hongyan's idea, all the elders also expressed approval, with no problem.

So, the next day, Li Hongyan took the initiative to visit, and the first person he chose was naturally the leader among the attendants, the strongest expert in the Immortal Venerable Realm.

After all, he is the strongest in strength, his status and position are also the highest, and he still carries considerable prestige among the 'former attendants', so naturally they started with him.

The idea is fine, but what Li Hongyan doesn't know is that this Immortal Venerable Realm 'former attendant' has already been waiting for him for a while.

Even after several days, he had become a bit anxious, constantly thinking of finding some excuse to approach him alone without Li Hongyan suspecting, in order to create an opportunity to act.

But unexpectedly, before they could come up with a plan, Li Hongyan himself showed up at their door—what a fortunate turn of events.
