Even using excuses like being dedicated to work and wholeheartedly serving the people is too far-fetched!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This only shows that Governor Li used the small flags to set up this Anti-Lifespan Formation that covers the entire Jun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them came to a secluded mountain forest. Lu Yang took out the map of Yanjiang Jun, which was marked with the nodes of the Anti-Lifespan Formation deduced last time: \"The node locations of the Anti-Lifespan Formation should be the same as before. Before that, I want to confirm one thing. Lan Ting, the blood sacrifice you mentioned, is it killing people at the nodes, or is it using the essence blood of cultivators as a sacrifice to activate the grand formation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, Man Gu and Lan Ting were shocked, while only Meng Jingzhou had anticipated it and didn't react much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first entered Yanjiang Jun, he had said that collusion between the government and the demonic path was not uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing more and more people on Dashiqiao, Lu Yang suggested leaving here first and finding an uninhabited place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The impact of capturing three Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators on Governor Li's political achievements goes without saying. Three Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators—if there is no branch, a small Jun only has so many Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators. This is equivalent to clearing out the leaders of the demonic cultivators in a Jun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the Anti-Lifespan Formation is activated, it might not be visible on the surface, but over time, it will definitely be discovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Yizhanghong wasn't in front, the government would vigorously track down the murderer, and at that time, both the Yanjiang branch and Governor Li would be at risk of exposure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor Li very cleverly arranged for Yizhanghong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yizhanghong set up the Anti-Lifespan Formation first. Even if Governor Li activated the Anti-Lifespan Formation to reduce the lifespan of mortals, the government would only focus its attention on Yizhanghong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Gu was surprised: \"But Yizhanghong didn't succeed in setting it up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang sneered: \"Not succeeding is Yizhanghong's one-sided story. It's possible that the formation was really activated, but Yizhanghong operated it improperly, only reducing lifespan without increasing his own cultivation. Such things are very likely to happen. After all, it's an unfamiliar formation, and any accident could occur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Gu still couldn't understand: \"Yizhanghong's two companions could also testify that he didn't succeed in setting it up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang said: \"Companions? Where would demonic cultivators get companions? They are all using each other. It's reasonable for Yizhanghong not to tell the truth to those two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such a ready-made suspect, who would you suspect if not Yizhanghong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, Yizhanghong has committed numerous crimes and must be sentenced to death. Perhaps by the time the government discovers that the Anti-Lifespan Formation has been activated, Yizhanghong will have already been executed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Yizhanghong as a target, who would suspect Governor Li?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Jingzhou and Lan Ting nodded repeatedly after hearing this, agreeing with Lu Yang's point of view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang asked again: \"Also, are there seven nodes that need blood sacrifice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ting looked at Lu Yang in surprise and nodded, not understanding how Lu Yang knew. Didn't he say he didn't understand formations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I left yesterday, I met seven deacons. It was an emergency call by Branch Master Chu. There must have been some task. I guess it was to arrange for them to take the essence blood and wait for the opportunity at the formation nodes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, you can talk more about the knowledge of the Anti-Lifespan Formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ting did not decline and circled seven points on the Yanjiang Jun map: \"These seven places are the key nodes for activation, near the scenic spots of Yanjiang Jun. The formation eye is at... the waist of Songshan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To break through using the Anti-Lifespan Formation, one must, of course, choose a secluded place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's first remove some Anti-Lifespan Talismans to prevent the formation from activating. However, if we do this, it is very likely that we will be noticed by Branch Master Chu. Instead of being found by him, it is better for us to set up an ambush first and catch him off guard,\" Lu Yang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because Lu Yang was worried about a battle with Branch Master Chu that he did not leave the four's fighting styles in the recording ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them felt troubled. At that time, it would be a life-and-death battle. Branch Master Chu was a late-stage Golden Core existence and was extremely difficult to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it okay to report to the government and tell Fang Qingyun about this?\" Man Gu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang shook his head: \"If Fang Qingyun learns about the formation on the small flags, he will definitely suspect Governor Li. If Governor Li is caught, our identity as demonic cult members will also be exposed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ting hesitated: \"Just relying on the four of us to deal with a late-stage Golden Core, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take down the opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang was confident: \"Don't worry, we will make full preparations. If there is really no other way, I still have a fallback plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eldest Senior Sister's Zoomorphic Fist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu's expressions changed drastically after hearing this. Lan Ting noticed their change and was confused: \"What is Eldest Senior Sister's Zoomorphic Fist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the ultimate move of the Lu-style Zoomorphic Fist!\" Lu Yang said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ting nodded, half-understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, they might be two people. These are just speculations, but no matter which situation it is, the method of activating the Anti-Lifespan Formation will definitely not be killing mortals!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Gu still didn't understand. Meng Jingzhou explained: \"Governor Li wants to be promoted. If a vicious murder case occurs during the Spring Harvest Festival, does he still want to be promoted? Even if he pulls strings above, the people above cannot blatantly let him be promoted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, with the status of a Jun Governor, what is difficult about taking the essence blood of cultivators? Just find a few cultivators in the prison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang shook his head: \"Not an undercover agent, nor a partner. I suspect that Branch Master Chu and Governor Li are the same person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no direct evidence, only two points of suspicion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, the time Branch Master Chu summoned us was always at night. I have asked other deacons about this, and the deacons said that other branches are not like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, Branch Master Chu and Governor Li both want to be promoted, and the time is almost the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Gu gasped. This world is darker than he imagined. If Branch Master Chu and Governor Li are the same person, wouldn't that mean he is eating both the righteous and demonic paths?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Gu suddenly realized and felt that this world was really dark: \"In other words, the undercover agent planted by the branch in Yanjiang Jun is Governor Li. With Governor Li's cultivation and status, should it be more appropriate to use a cooperative relationship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last night, I heard from the government people that when the small flags were set up, Governor Li personally supervised them, requiring that the positions of the small flags must not be wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ting still had some questions: \"Governor Li and Yizhanghong both set up the Anti-Lifespan Formation. Is it a coincidence or is there a connection?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think there is a great connection.\" After figuring out the relationship between Branch Master Chu and Governor Li, Lu Yang had new views on many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them were puzzled. The person who set up the formation must be a demonic cultivator. For demonic cultivators, killing is naturally much more convenient than using essence blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think has such a big hand to hide the Anti-Lifespan Formation in the small flags and specifically set it up overnight, using the night to cover it up? Even if they are sleepy, no one will suspect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ting didn't understand Lu Yang's meaning: \"Both methods are possible, but usually the former is used. Killing only requires killing mortals. Using too much essence blood of cultivators will affect cultivation and is also unfavorable for future cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang was thoughtful: \"Then the person who set up the formation should use the second method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Jingzhou reacted instantly: \"People in the government, and they are in high positions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang nodded: \"Yes, to be precise, it's the Jun Governor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please follow Xingkong (aixs) for reading\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>aixs:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to bookshelf directory aa \u003C\u002Fp>",1459,"2026-06-17T23:08:26.054Z","2026-06-18T03:42:36.771Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a844130ab6446ed5d0266e11cfe08828b9854bf8a15183694f2f29b556b90a98","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-99","who-let-him-cultivate-chapter-97",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-told-him-to-cultivate-cover.jpg"]
