Chapter 200: Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures

Zhang Qianmo's "I'll be back soon" seemed to be taking quite a while.

Three days and three nights had passed without a trace of his figure.

Li Fan stood on the Purple Sky Flying Cloud, bored, observing the ruins of Ningyuan City below.

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

The surviving mortals under this disaster had cried themselves hoarse, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Mr. Bai said!"

"Anyone with strength, come over here. Let's all work together to dig and rescue those who are still alive!"

"Those with minor injuries, help gather water and food..."

"Everyone, place those with more serious injuries in the small temple. Mr. Bai will treat them there!"

Just when the refugees were sinking into despair, suddenly there were continuous shouts throughout Ningyuan City.

Li Fan found it interesting because the owners of these voices were unexpectedly young children around ten years old.

Dressed like beggars, thin and weak in stature, but exceptionally clever.

The shouts of the children, like the dawn before sunrise, illuminated the darkness.

As if they had a backbone, people gradually began to wake up from their numbness and confusion.

Finally, they began to self-rescue in an organized manner.

Watching this scene, Li Fan suddenly remembered the scene of organizing relief after the destruction of Xuanjing City when he first encountered Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi.

In the midst of contemplation, a sudden wave of spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from the Drunken Immortal Tower.

"It seems that Miss Chixia has successfully guided the qi into her body," Li Fan thought to himself.

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

Although his expression remained calm, the joy in his eyes was hard to conceal.

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

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, for resolving a matter of the heart!" Li Fan smiled and said, "Miss Chixia, won't you come back to the mountain with us?"

Zhang Qianmo waved his hand, "Let's make a decision after Sect Master Grandmaster makes a final decision."

"Since we've waited so long, I don't mind waiting a little longer."

"Hehe, in my opinion, it might be difficult for those old guys in the sect to accept this so-called new technique in a short time." Zhang Qianmo sneered.

Li Fan also nodded in agreement.

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

He wanted to take this opportunity to visit the Purple Sky Sect.

Unfortunately, the distance between the Purple Sky Sect's mountain gate and Ningyuan City was a bit far.

After walking most of the way, Li Fan felt the surroundings blur.

The scenery and sounds gradually faded away. After a moment, Li Fan's consciousness returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.

A mysterious heat surged in his head, bringing a tingling sensation.

Li Fan couldn't help but frown, but immediately after, a joyful expression appeared on his face.

After a brief recollection, the content of the "Purple Sky Soul Observation Technique" appeared vividly and clearly in his mind.

"This method of 'equivalent exchange' is indeed effective."

However, the art of using divine soul was not a cultivation technique, so there was no prompt about the number of cultivators.

With the experience in the Meteor Immortal Realm, Li Fan easily mastered it without much effort.

"With this soul-searching technique, the next step is to wait for Zhou Qing'ang to go and get those fifty high-grade spirit stones."

He purchased some items in the Tianxuan Mirror to be fully prepared.

Li Fan practiced while patiently waiting.

Seven days later, sensing that Zhou Qing'ang had changed his appearance again and left Taian Island.

Li Fan also left Wanxian Island at the same time, hiding his figure and heading towards Zhou Qing'ang's location.

The location where Zhou Qing'ang picked up the spirit stones was a place Li Fan had been to before.

It was the twelfth generation when he obtained the inheritance of He Zhenghao's "Hundred Meridians Formation Chart" at the Wan Cang Pavilion on Youlan Island.

He didn't follow in but lurked outside quietly.

Not long after, Zhou Qing'ang swaggered out of Youlan Island.

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

This coincided with Li Fan's intentions, and he silently followed from a distance.

With the position monitoring of the undetectable killing intent, Zhou Qing'ang, no matter what tricks he used, couldn't shake off Li Fan's pursuit.

After more than half a day, Zhou Qing'ang felt safe.

He dived into the sea, found a ruin, and restored his original appearance.

Sensing the high-grade spirit stones worth fifty thousand contribution points in his storage ring, Zhou Qing'ang planned to make a trip to Wanxian Island to clear the debt.

However, as he surfaced from the sea, Zhou Qing'ang was horrified to find that, for some unknown reason, he suddenly became paralyzed, losing control of his body.

Simultaneously, a loud gong-like sound exploded overhead.

Dizzy, ringing in the ears.

"Uh-oh!"

Before he could think more, Zhou Qing'ang was knocked unconscious.

Li Fan revealed his figure, grabbed Zhou Qing'ang, and dived back into the sea.

Finding a building in the ruins, he casually set up some formations around and went inside.

Throwing Zhou Qing'ang, who had lost consciousness and resistance, on the ground, Li Fan took out thirteen cold iron nails from his storage ring and pierced them into Zhou Qing'ang's body.

Then, Li Fan activated the Purple Sky Soul Observation Technique.

Zhou Qing'ang's body convulsed violently.

One scene after another flashed rapidly before Li Fan's eyes.

"Building the foundation with the 'Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures,' changing appearance with 'Visage Transformation'..."

"So that's how it is."

"To be able to infiltrate the Wanxian Alliance as a spy, he indeed has some skills."

Li Fan was suddenly delighted.

Just as Li Fan was about to continue checking Zhou Qing'ang's superiors and the organization he served, it seemed to trigger some kind of restriction.

A terrifying destructive force erupted from the depths of Zhou Qing'ang's soul.

Li Fan's face changed, and he instantly withdrew his divine sense.

However, he couldn't stop this force from damaging Zhou Qing'ang's soul.

"Ah!"

Even in his unconscious state, Zhou Qing'ang let out a scream.

Then, Li Fan saw his soul being wiped out in an instant.

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

"Secrecy countermeasure..."

Li Fan, seeing this, didn't find it particularly surprising.

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

After contemplating for a moment, Li Fan erased the traces of the formations he had set up earlier.

Then, carrying Zhou Qing'ang's body, he fled several hundred miles away.

He arrived at an area densely populated with fish.

He threw Zhou Qing'ang towards the fish.

Although the soul was gone, the aura emitted by the foundational cultivation level made these fish instinctively fearful.

They all moved away, lacking the courage to treat this body as food.

Seeing this, Li Fan once again locked onto the strongest fish in the school with the undetectable killing intent.

Then, he fled another hundred miles.

He activated the killing intent targeting Zhou Qing'ang once again.
