Chapter 1165 Madman Night Grinding Knife
After some investigation, Li Ping confirmed that these clusters of light were of no great use to himself.
Then, with a rather solemn gesture, he returned the clusters of light to these anglers who had been carefully selected.
The first attempt did not yield any significant results.
Li Ping didn't mind.
The fishing competition this time was held in a hurry, and there was not much time for the general public to prepare. The winners had been soaking in the art of fishing for a long time, and their victory was more due to experience rather than talent or insight.
"With them as examples, it will inspire the people greatly. I think the second and third fishing competitions should bring me some surprises."
Li Ping looked at the winners in front of him, holding the light balls and studying them carefully. He nodded slightly, and then his figure shattered and disappeared.
After all, the Xuanyuan Realm was not his native battlefield. Without the continuous support of the Holy Dynasty's luck, Li Ping was probably not even a match for an ordinary Daoist.
It's better to go back sooner.
If it weren't for the fact that the precious fishing pool couldn't be moved, he wouldn't have ventured here himself.
"I still don't have enough manpower."
"There are too few trustworthy and capable subordinates," Li Ping sighed softly, then began to secretly contemplate a solution.
...
Tianquan Province.
The Sun family's secret chamber.
It had been over a month since Sun Luyuan left last time.
According to previous habits, Sun Luyuan should have returned long ago to feed the Infinite Mirror with fresh blood.
But for some reason, this time Sun Luyuan had not returned.
One day, while immersed in the research of the remaining array formations of the Infinite Mirror, Li Fan suddenly sensed traces of intrusion in the protected chamber.
Upon looking, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
It turned out that Wu Ninglu had somehow found the entrance to the underground secret chamber and was attempting to break in.
Although she had concealed her aura with a secret technique, she couldn't escape Li Fan's eyes.
Quietly leaving the Infinite Mirror, Li Fan gently pointed a finger.
The protection array formation in the secret chamber suddenly changed.
Struck by the suddenly strengthened formation, Wu Ninglu's expression changed, realizing that she had been exposed.
She didn't dare to stay and swiftly turned into a black light and fled.
Li Fan paid close attention and saw that after circling around, Wu Ninglu dropped her disguise where no one was around. Then, she returned confidently to her own room.
It was truly foolish, as she still harbored a sense of luck and didn't escape Sun's house immediately.
"Hehe, this is truly foolish, still relying on being a member of the Sun family to act recklessly without fear?" Li Fan sneered to himself.
"But it has nothing to do with me. I think when Sun Luyuan returns this time, I will be able to control the Infinite Mirror and meet the keeper[Fu]."
Li Fan's prediction was accurate.
Seven days later, Sun Luyuan arrived at the underground secret chamber with a heavy heart.
At this time, he also discovered the traces of an intruder in the protective array formation, but he didn't make a fuss about it.
Instead, he placed a clump of refined blood in front of the black mirror.
Through the mirror spirit Sun Luyao, Li Fan sensed an irresistible desire.
With a cold snort, he snuffed out his instinct. This was already the refining of the Infinite Mirror, and the blood sacrifice of the Sun family would only reinforce his control over it.
How could he let them have their way?
To avoid any loopholes, Sun Luyao performed a play after "swallowing" the blood, then gradually appeared.
"Brother, I'm feeling much better," he said against his will.
As the spirit, he had no choice. He couldn't even give a warning to Sun Luyuan.
He could only helplessly watch as his elder brother fell into the trap of this terrifying existence.
"That old thing's demands are getting more and more excessive. Clearly, we just provided him with important information not long ago, and yet he's not satisfied." Sun Luyuan looked at Sun Luyao's faint figure, a tinge of softness in his eyes, then followed by a tone of resentment.
"This time's demand is even more absurd, requiring us to spy on the news of the human avatar of the Tianxuan Mirror? It's just an unrealistic guess, and yet we have to continually try at the cost of blood..."
"Old thief!"
Sun Luyuan smashed his fist into the ground.
To outsiders, he was the prestigious head of the Sun family, holding a prominent position in the Hall of Guardians, but in reality, he was no better than a dog in the eyes of the true rulers of the Immortal Alliance.
For the survival of the entire Sun family, he had to grovel, with no dignity.
"Why should the transmitters of the law and the keepers always be so high and mighty? Even if we work hard, we can only be their dogs!"
"Is there never any hope of turning the tables?"
Filled with pent-up frustration, Sun Luyuan's thoughts took an unexpected turn, a thought he had never dared to entertain before suddenly surfaced in his mind.
But then he quickly snapped out of it.
He was shocked by his own thoughts, and even in the presence of his closest brother, he dared not show the slightest hint of it.
Because he knew full well that according to the style of the rulers of the Immortal Alliance, if they knew about his thoughts, then the next day, there would be no trace left of the Sun family in the Immortal Alliance. They would vanish completely from the world!
However, it seemed that he had underestimated the effect of brotherly love.
"Brother, during my last attempt to spy on the Tianxuan Mirror, I actually discovered something interesting," Sun Luyao suddenly said.
"Oh?" Sun Luyuan was slightly taken aback, looking at his brother's very serious expression.
"Through various clues, the Tianxuan Mirror has discovered the traces of a force in the Xuanyuan Realm that is currently in hiding and may rebel in the future," Sun Luyao said quietly.
"Rebel?" Sun Luyuan shook his head. He didn't believe that there was anything in the vast Xuanyuan Realm that could shake the rule of the Immortal Alliance.
But then, his brother's words left him feeling a jolt in his heart: "According to the prediction of the Tianxuan Mirror, this force is likely to cause great damage to the Immortal Alliance."
"Is this true?"
Sun Luyuan was shaken, and his first thought was to immediately report this heavyweight information to the keeper, Fu, in exchange for merit.
However, as he carefully read the information sent by his brother, his mind was filled with shock and disbelief.
Sun Luyao's faint voice sounded in his ear.
"Brother, I'm really in pain."
"If this goes on, I probably won't last long and will be completely destroyed."
"Being a dog for someone all your life is still just a dog."
"Even ordinary people dare to say [The emperor takes turns every year, and this year it's my turn]..."
His brother's murmur was like a bewitching demon's sound, echoing in Sun Luyuan's ears.
The thought that he had suppressed in his heart, influenced by his brother's words, re-emerged uncontrollably.
"The Holy Dynasty..."
Sun Luyuan narrowed his eyes and re-evaluated the information in his hands.
The temperature has dropped significantly, everyone, remember to keep warm and go to bed early.
