Chapter 171: One step ahead! Zhao Jiexuan and Li Changgeng

If heaven has feelings, heaven will also grow old, wanting to be the treasure in brother's palm.

This "brother" was called out with thousands of turns, lingering in the ears, and even the cold mountain wind seemed to become gentle at this moment.

Lin Jianyue shook the hoe in her hand, watching Zhang Fan's back gradually approach. The latter seemed not to have heard, staring at that line of small characters on the pavilion pillar, stunned.

"Why doesn't brother pay attention to people?"

Lin Jianyue walked behind Zhang Fan and stopped slowly when she was five steps away, a different brilliance flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Thirteen Zodiacs... Thirteen Zodiacs... Which one of the Thirteen Zodiacs are you?"

Just at this moment, Zhang Fan spoke.

Just this one sentence made Lin Jianyue's gaze jump.

"Oh? What is brother talking about?" Lin Jianyue said indifferently.

"Your cultivation is still above the Boar, so you should be ranked among the Thirteen Zodiacs."

Zhang Fan said in a low, concentrated voice, looking at the "visited here" message on the pavilion pillar, his right hand lifted lightly, a wisp of True Fire jumping, scorching and flourishing, shining and inextinguishable.

Rumble...

In an instant, the terrifying fluctuations emitted by that wisp of True Fire spread toward the surroundings. The pavilion, ancient trees, rock walls... in front of him seemed to melt like ink. Looking again, it was still the 【Three-Person Tomb】.

Zhang Fan stood in front of the Three-Person Tomb, as if he had never moved since just now. The so-called mountain climbing and entering the pavilion were just external false images.

"Worthy of being the seed of the Great Lingzong Wang. No wonder even the Boar fell into your hands." Lin Jianyue put down the hoe in her hand and couldn't help but applaud.

Hum...

At the same time, a wisp of faint medicinal fragrance floated, and dots of cinnabar rose and gathered in the air, finally falling into Lin Jianyue's palm, turning into a pill that was transparent, shining like glass.

Zhang Fan turned around, his gaze sinking slightly, looking at the pill in Lin Jianyue's palm.

With the strength of his soul-aspect, being able to fall into that external false image just now was mostly because of this pill.

"This is called the Chaos God Pill. It takes three years of pounding medicine to form the pill... but it is my treasure."

Lin Jianyue smiled lightly, opened her mouth, and swallowed the pill that was as transparent as glass directly.

"Chaos God Pill!?"

It had to be said that the Thirteen Zodiacs each had their specialties. Lin Jianyue's great pill, without needing to be taken, could actually affect the soul-aspect, which was indeed strange.

"Zhang Fan, although you haven't broken through your trials yet and your reaction is a bit slow, it's actually quite a bit better than expected."

Wang Tao's mouth corners lifted slightly, his eyes turned into crescents, his beautiful face holding a trace of teasing.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Fan shook his head, looked down the mountain, and muttered softly: "You are actually quite a bit worse than expected..."

"What?"

"I won't accompany you today. If you are also here for the Immortal Prison Temple, then let's discuss it another day."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fan let out a long breath.

Lin Jianyue's brows raised, just about to speak, the surrounding light and shadow began to melt. The Three-Person Tomb, the ground full of coins, the faint mountain path... all melted like ink.

Lin Jianyue's face changed color. Turning around, the front was empty, where was Zhang Fan's figure? And where she was, was halfway up the mountain picking herbs, the place where she met Zhang Fan.

At this time, Luoxia Town, a street corner teahouse.

Zhang Fan sat there, his eyes half-closed, as if he had fallen asleep. Just at this moment, his soul-aspect returned to his body, and he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze narrowed into a line looking at Luoxia Mountain not far away.

"Rabbit! The Thirteen Zodiacs really came with more than one person."

Zhang Fan thought of the small characters "visited here" and thought thoughtfully.

When he first came to Luoxia Town and met Lin Jianyue, he felt that this woman was not right, but he didn't expect that she was also one of the Thirteen Zodiacs.

"Just don't know how her methods are." Zhang Fan muttered softly.

The Thirteen Zodiacs each had their specialties, and everyone's abilities were different.

Before knowing the other party's background, Zhang Fan didn't want to act rashly, especially before the 【Immortal Prison Temple】 appeared. He also didn't want to cause extra trouble, everything was prioritized by saving Jiang Lai.

Most importantly, just now, he felt that besides the Rabbit in that mountain, there seemed to be another aura hidden, a more hidden, more unfathomable aura.

This made Zhang Fan even more vigilant.

"The Thirteen Zodiacs only have a few people in total, they wouldn't have come with more than two, right." Zhang Fan fell into deep thought.

Previously, Jiang Lai said on the phone that there were people from the Daoist path among the Thirteen Zodiacs. Was this person also in Luoxia Town now?

If so, perhaps it could become a great help.

"Who could it be!?" Zhang Fan's thoughts turned rapidly.

He didn't know much about the members of the Thirteen Zodiacs. Except for the Rabbit Lin Jianyue, the Snake Bai Yuqing, the Horse Wu Qilu, the Rooster Jin Maori, the Dog Han Diyan, and the Boar Wang Tao he had come into contact with, he knew almost nothing about the other members.

In fact, as protectors of the Wu Wei Sect, the Thirteen Zodiacs themselves were very low-key and special. Except for the Human Zodiac, no one could mobilize or drive them.

Therefore, the identity of every member was highly confidential and extremely mysterious.

"Snake!?" Zhang Fan's mind flashed with Bai Yuqing's figure. After thinking about it, he shook his head and denied it.

The Snake Bai Yuqing was different from other Thirteen Zodiac members; she was a great demon turned human.

According to what she said herself, besides being the Snake among the Thirteen Zodiacs, Bai Yuqing was also the previous generation of the Human Zodiac, that is, one of the 【Five Demon Great Demons】 under Zhang Fan's mother.

Last time at Xuanmiao Temple, she also used Zhang Fan's hand to let her own soul-aspect escape and unseal.

Although the Snake was close to Zhang Fan, she was not a secret agent of the Daoist path.

"Still call for people."

Zhang Fan thought in his heart and took out his phone.

"Uncle Xiong, where are you recently?"

"Uncle Liu, does your security team have annual leave?"

"Boss, I am now in Qilu City..."

Zhang Fan's connections were not wide, and he could only think of those few people.

At this very moment, in Luoxia Mountain.

Lin Jianyue carried the bamboo basket and looked down the mountain, a cold look appearing on her beautiful face.

"Good Zhang Fan, worthy of being the cub of the Great Lingzong Wang. When the Immortal Prison Temple opens, I want to see how much ability you have."

Lin Jianyue's expression returned to normal, but a strange brilliance rose in her beautiful eyes, fighting intent surging, fighting spirit high.

As the Rabbit, she was not as flamboyant as the Boar among the Thirteen Zodiacs, but her strength was still above the latter. The test just now was that she lost a move, so naturally, she had to find back the ground.

"Little Yueyue, your reaction was slow, you actually fell into his trap."

Just at this moment, a burst of giggling came from not far away.

Lin Jianyue's brows raised. Looking up, she saw a young man stepping on the stairs, walking down slowly from the mountain. He was wearing loose casual clothes and stepping on white sports shoes, looking extremely energetic and capable.

"Zhao Jiexuan!" Lin Jianyue's gaze sank slightly.

For this harmless-looking young man, even as the Rabbit, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of dread.

Zhao Jiexuan, a disciple of the Wu Wei Sect, had not shown his face or revealed his water in the early years. In the past two or three years, he had risen abruptly, and his strength had made him stand out among a group of disciples.

Even the Rooster, who had extremely old qualifications among the Thirteen Zodiacs, praised this rising star as stunning and brilliant. If talking about the future Daoist path, there must be a place for him. Sure enough, he lived up to expectations. Not long ago, in the confrontation with the Daoist path, he was amazing, actually defeating three Gao Gong strongmen of Laoshan with his own strength, and even the Qi brothers of Mount Laojun were defeated in his hands.

This battle record further increased Zhao Jiexuan's prestige within the Wu Wei Sect.

"Who could have thought that cultivating the God-Demon Sacred Fetus, without having broken through the trials, could actually break through and re-cultivate?" Lin Jianyue said in a low voice.

"His growth speed is inconceivable, fundamentally not what was mentioned in the intelligence."

Previously, the Horse Wu Qilu, the Boar Wang Tao, the Rooster Jin Maori, and even the Dog Han Diyan had all had intersections with Zhang Fan in Yujing City. According to their intelligence, although Zhang Fan re-cultivated, his soul-aspect was lacking, his memory was lost, and his cultivation was also sparse and ordinary.

However, this time, Zhang Fan appeared in Dongshan Province, but he was already at the 【Gao Gong】 rank, and even the Boar had fallen into his hands. This Zhang Fan was simply like two different people compared to what was mentioned in the intelligence.

"All things change, and if you rely only on intelligence to get things done, sooner or later you will be eaten by others." Zhao Jiexuan said with a light smile.

"You are so powerful, why didn't you make a move to suppress him?" Lin Jianyue sneered.

"You should know that this father and son of the Zhang family are extremely important."

"A gentleman waits for the time to act. Han Diyan didn't know the time and luck, so he lost his life in Yujing City." Zhao Jiexuan said indifferently.

As soon as this was said, Lin Jianyue remained silent.

The Dog Han Diyan died in Yujing City, with no bones left, but various signs indicated that the one who made the move should be that man...

The Great Lingzong Wang, the Great Lingzong Wang who had just broken through the fifth Great Night of No Light trial.

You moved my son, so I will make you turn into ashes.

Zhang Fan looked like he was raised by someone but no one cared, like a wild child, but in fact, his unreliable old man was protective to the point of being abnormal.

"Last time was just an accident. If you want to blame someone, blame Han Diyan for being unlucky, bumping into that man returning to Yujing and hitting the muzzle of the gun." Lin Jianyue said coldly.

"What you said is not wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame him for being unlucky. The luck is like this, and he deserved to die."

"As a dog, how can you not die." Zhao Jiexuan said in a low, concentrated voice.

"I don't believe the Great Lingzong Wang will always guard by his side."

Lin Jianyue's gaze narrowed into a line, looking at Luoxia Town at the foot of the mountain.

"Of course not, that man is now unable to attend to both ends, unable to take care of himself..." Zhao Jiexuan's expression was calm, showing unfathomability.

"Then you..." Lin Jianyue's heart moved slightly.

"Keeping Zhang Fan, I still have great use." Zhao Jiexuan interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Jianyue's gaze narrowed into a line, looking at the mysterious Zhao Jiexuan.

This time, the commotion caused was too big.

Not long ago, he overturned the experts of the Laoshan Daoist path, and also defeated the Qi Dongqiang and Qi Delong brothers. You must know that the latter were the successors of this generation of Mount Laojun, quite famous in the Daoist path of the world, especially among the younger generation, with very high prestige.

Just this one battle had already caused quite a commotion.

"You also let that woman without a soul-aspect into the Immortal Prison Temple." Lin Jianyue said in a deep voice.

What she was talking about was naturally Jiang Lai. The soul-aspect is born innately. A person actually having no soul-aspect was already extremely inconceivable. After that great battle, this freak instead picked the peach and got there first, entering the Immortal Prison Temple.

Lin Jianyue knew that there was Zhao Jiexuan's pushing behind this.

Now, the cub of the Great Lingzong Wang had also been lured over...

The situation seemed increasingly chaotic. Lin Jianyue understood less and less. She didn't know what Zhao Jiexuan's true intention was!?

"What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Jianyue asked again.

"The Qi brothers were defeated, defeated in the hands of a rising star of the Wu Wei Sect, the Immortal Prison Temple left by the Three-Corpse Daoist priest is also about to come out, plus a woman without a soul-aspect..."

"These news reached Shangjing City, reached Bai He Guan..." Zhao Jiexuan's mouth corners lifted slightly, his gaze with deep meaning cast toward Lin Jianyue.

"What commotion do you think Bai He Guan will have?"

Hearing this, Lin Jianyue's brows furrowed, and the doubt on her face became more intense.

"You released the news to Bai He Guan?"

"They will mostly send experts to come. Maybe a large group of people is on the way. Are you crazy?"

"There won't be a large group of people..." Zhao Jiexuan shook his head.

"Only one person will come."

"Who?"

"Li Changgeng!" Zhao Jiexuan's mouth opened slightly, spitting out a name.

"Him? How could he come?" Lin Jianyue's face changed color.

Mentioning that name, even as the Rabbit, her heart also stirred up waves, just because this name represented the strongest successor of Bai He Guan, who had practiced the 【Heaven and Earth Seizing Luck】 method.

Talented people appear in each generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

A new era has arrived, but Li Changgeng's name, although not competing for hegemony, has faintly become the uncrowned king of the new generation.

The competition among the younger generation, he seems fundamentally unwilling, and disdains to get involved, high above, as if he is already an existence in another dimension.

Therefore, the defeat of the Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang brothers of Mount Laojun could not make Li Changgeng have the slightest interest, and the sudden emergence of the rising star of the Wu Wei Sect could not make him have half a ripple.

But the Immortal Prison Temple left by the Three-Corpse Daoist priest, plus a woman without a soul-aspect...

Various causes and effects gathered, which could make this strongest successor who was deeply hidden in Shangjing and practiced the mystery of creation walk out.

"Is it possible? Will he come out? That is Li Changgeng." Lin Jianyue said in a low voice.

"Of course he will... I received news that Li Changgeng has already set off and left Shangjing City." Zhao Jiexuan's eyes were full of expectation.

"Are you crazy? You spent so much effort, what are you luring that monster over for?" Lin Jianyue looked at Zhao Jiexuan increasingly inconceivably, simply unable to understand his train of thought.

"Of course it is to kill him!"

"What!?" Lin Jianyue was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't heard clearly, or as if she had heard wrong.

"You want to hunt Li Changgeng? Are you brai..." Lin Jianyue's eyes widened, and her expression toward Zhao Jiexuan became unprecedentedly strange.

She seemed to have re-recognized this man. Before, she only felt that Zhao Jiexuan was mysterious and powerful, and had even been low-key once.

But now, he was simply like a madman, meticulously designed, actually to lure and kill Li Changgeng.

"Do you know what it means to fail to kill a tiger and be hurt by the tiger instead?" Lin Jianyue said in a deep voice.

"You have no hatred or resentment with him, why be like this?"

Lin Jianyue's heart was full of incomprehension. What kind of person is Li Changgeng?

The outside world regards him as the future Chu Chaoran, the Daoist leader about to rise. Can this kind of person be killed casually!?

"You are crazy, you are really crazy." Lin Jianyue glared at Zhao Jiexuan fiercely, carried the bamboo basket, and turned to go down Luoxia Mountain.

On the faint mountain path, only Zhao Jiexuan was left.

"Old Daoist priest take me, I want to cultivate immortality, old Daoist priest take me, I want to seek longevity, if you want to cultivate immortality, find me, there are many benefits after longevity, Alili, Alili, Alialili..."

Just at this moment, a pleasant ringtone echoed in the mountains. Zhao Jiexuan took out his phone, looked down, hung up the phone, and cast his faint gaze down the mountain.

"No hatred or resentment? Ten years ago, under Mount Long Hu, he forced my soul-aspect to self-dissolve..."

"This time, I want his life!!!" Zhao Jiexuan muttered softly, an excited smile appearing on his face.
