Five Immortals Gate

In the air, Li Yan was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing. He had just come out of a market town half a day ago, and this place was not too far from the West Qi Market.

However, this time he did not rent a teleportation array again. He wanted to fly all the way there, carefully planning what to do next.

Over the years, his Dismembering Poison Body had improved again, but this time the improvement was only in the intensity of the poison.

That was because many of the toxins of the "Blood-Eyed Toad" had already been swallowed by the Dismembering Poison Body once before.

Especially the toxins that formed the Shǒu Quē, which were the strongest toxins of the "Blood-Eyed Toad". Li Yan's Dismembering Poison Body had already swallowed and fused them before.

The ones Sima Zimo gave this time were just more in quantity for Li Yan. Of course, Sima Zimo didn't know this situation.

If he knew that Li Yan had almost swallowed and fused all of his toxins through just one encounter, he wouldn't know what to think.

Perhaps from then on, he would not want to associate with Li Yan, after all, they only appreciated each other.

If his most powerful toxins could no longer threaten the other party, he would be afraid of being ambushed and killed by Li Yan if he was not careful.

Li Yan also had more confidence in dealing with "Luo Gucheng" due to the increased intensity of the Dismembering Poison Body's toxicity. As long as the method was appropriate, it was possible to poison a cultivator in the mid-stage of Integration.

Moreover, in these years, in order to quickly improve his strength, Li Yan refined another grain of silver sand into his left arm, which greatly increased the strength of his left arm.

This was still because he needed to keep rushing, and could not concentrate on refining. Even so, in addition to the "Undying Nether Phoenix" bloodline being strengthened again.

The speed of "Phoenix Soaring to the Sky" also had a breakthrough. At the same time, it was also because of the refining of silver sand that the power of "Flame Feather Meteor Arrow" was slightly increased.

When Master Dong Fuyi first brought him across the border to the West Qi Market, he told Li Yan some information about "Luo Gucheng", but that was what he knew when he was in the Immortal Spirit World, and it was also a long time ago.

Later, when Dong Fuyi saw that the current West Qi Market was still under the control of "Luo Gucheng", he only told Li Yan all the information he knew.

However, he didn't want to deal with the other party, so he didn't inquire about the later news of "Luo Gucheng".

Therefore, Li Yan only knew the general situation of "Luo Gucheng". After he went there this time, he must first find out the specific situation of "Luo Gucheng".

If he could not defeat the enemy, he would transmit the information back to the Five Immortals Sect to see if his Second Martial Uncle and the others had any way to solve it? The hidden danger of this matter was too great, and he had to completely solve it.

Li Yan was not an arrogant person. It was not that he did not want to borrow the power of his sect, but the Five Immortals Sect was too far away. "Luo Gucheng" was in the far west of the Cangxuan Realm, which was beyond their reach.

It would take decades just to transmit the news back. However, from Li Yan's heart, he actually liked to handle things alone.

This was completely related to his growth experience, and as long as the cultivators of the Five Immortals Sect traveled outside, they might expose themselves. Could it be that every time they were exposed, they needed others to help them?

Therefore, Li Yan had to first understand the situation of "Luo Gucheng". When he really couldn't solve it, he would seek help from his sect.

If "Luo Gucheng" wanted to expose his news, it was estimated that it would be soon after he descended to the lower realm. The news should have been exposed long ago.

Therefore, whether he was worried about that matter or not, it was actually useless. What he had to do was to determine whether this matter had already occurred?

Moreover, Li Yan could know through contact with the new Chī Mèi Envoy who descended to the lower realm that "Luo Gucheng" had not yet found out about the Wǎng Liǎng Sect, at least.

It was this judgment that gave Li Yan hope. "Luo Gucheng" should have hidden this news, otherwise some large sects might have already received his news…

Several days later, at the entrance of the West Qi Market, a young man in a green shirt in the early stage of Spirit Transformation paid the spirit stones and walked straight into the West Qi Market.

After Li Yan entered the market, he began to constantly enter and exit the large and small shops in the market. He was either selling some things or buying materials.

Until the evening, he did not mean to leave, and finally stayed in an inn in the market.

The next day, he went out again, and then was busy for a whole day…

Two days later, in a room in the inn, Li Yan was sitting on one side of a long table. His eyes were slightly narrowed, one arm was resting on the table, and a finger was rhythmically tapping on it.

In the past few days, he had also inquired about a lot of things, and these news he inquired about were not secrets to the people here.

But it was very useful to Li Yan, and what needed to be paid attention to in this process was how not to let others find out that he was inquiring purposefully.

However, this was just a little more effort for Li Yan. Through sales and purchases, he "intentionally or unintentionally" talked about a lot of things with the shopkeepers and clerks.

He often did not inquire about a question clearly in one shop, but would enter different shops multiple times and try to find out the tone of those people from different angles.

Then, he himself would put these news together and conduct a comprehensive analysis, and finally find the news he needed from it!

First of all, the storm he caused here many years ago was just a story of the past for a market town.

Too many people knew about that matter. Not only the shops in the West Qi Market saw it, but also many passers-by saw it.

“Luo Gu Cheng” was unable to silence the aftermath of this incident. Moreover, so many years had passed that Li Yan could ask about it occasionally during conversations without raising suspicion.

This matter seemed meaningless to Li Yan, but he saw important information hidden within it.

Li Yan inquired about the outcome of the incident that occurred at the teleportation array that morning, and the reason he received was somewhat unexpected.

“Luo Gu Cheng” claimed that their rivals had come to provoke them, killing several cultivators guarding the array and destroying the teleportation array inside.

This was not, as some cultivators said, that “Luo Gu Cheng” disregarded the rules, killing and robbing for wealth. That was simply the enemy deliberately confusing right and wrong.

Because the teleportation array was destroyed, it was impossible to teleport for a long time.

However, “Luo Gu Cheng's” retaliation was swift. About two years later, they found the hostile sect that had secretly provoked them.

That hostile sect, whose strength was also not weak, was completely slaughtered overnight after the truth was discovered!

Although it was only a fleeting moment, Li Yan already knew that some shops here should know that this statement had some problems, so they did not believe it based on what they had seen.

In the past few days, Li Yan had only obtained these seemingly useless pieces of information, which further confirmed his speculation.

“Luo Gu Cheng” probably wanted to monopolize the news of the Five Immortals Sect's appearance and did not leak this information.

First of all, he did not destroy their teleportation array, nor did he provoke them. “Luo Gu Cheng's” statement was intended to lead others' thinking in other directions.

This was to use the idea that someone was jealous of Xiqi Square City's fast money-making teleportation arrays, so they sent someone to destroy them, which would be more convincing.

If “Luo Gu Cheng” said that the enemy only destroyed a backup array in the stone chamber, then it would not be convincing at all.

Therefore, “Luo Gu Cheng” deliberately said that the teleportation was damaged and deliberately stopped operating for a period of time, as if they were really repairing it, in order to confirm the fact that others had come to provoke them.

The sect that was slaughtered later was just a scapegoat they found. Of course, they could not let it go after being provoked, otherwise, where would “Luo Gu Cheng's” face be?

The fact that they failed to find the other party in the first place only shows that the enemy who provoked “Luo Gu Cheng” was indeed very well hidden.

Later, it would show the power of “Luo Gu Cheng,” letting others see that even if there were enemies who deliberately provoked them and were prepared, “Luo Gu Cheng” only spent two years to find them.

Moreover, they directly eliminated the other party with lightning speed, turning all their plans into bubbles…

This was probably because they guessed his identity and determined that Amuer and the others had acted first, and that he was very likely not to come back to take revenge and explain the truth, so “Luo Gu Cheng” dared to do this.

This not only took care of “Luo Gu Cheng's” face but also showed their domineering and powerful nature, telling others that they would retaliate for the smallest grievance, while deterring other surrounding forces, which was a double-edged sword.

However, “Luo Gu Cheng's” approach was also secretly guarding and observing, waiting to see if the Five Immortals Sect would have any revenge later?

Finally, after seeing that there was no movement, they knew that the other party did not dare to show up at will, but they also lost the opportunity to capture him here.

After figuring this out, Li Yan had to admire “Luo Gu Cheng's” methods. The other party could make so much out of the aftermath of just one incident. This was already killing several birds with one stone.

If everything “Luo Gu Cheng” did was aimed at the Five Immortals Sect, then their purpose was obvious, that is, they were trying to cover up this matter.

This judgment result was exactly the news that Li Yan wanted to find out…

If Zhu Hongyi and the others knew about Li Yan's speculation, they would definitely be quite surprised.

Through a matter that had passed for a long time, Li Yan only obtained the truth of the matter after a simple inquiry. Li Yan's scheming was enough to move Zhu Hongyi.

With this result, Li Yan's remaining task was to inquire about the situation of “Luo Gu Cheng” itself. The overall strength of a second-rate force was basically not a secret to the outside world.

Unless you want to find out the hidden trump cards of the strongmen of their sect, that is quite difficult. Li Yan quickly obtained the true strength of “Luo Gu Cheng” today.

They have two Integration Realm experts guarding them. One is named Zhu Hongyi, with mid-Integration Realm strength, and the other expert is his junior brother, named Yan He, who is at the early-Integration Realm.

Both of them are very powerful sword cultivators, and they are also the strongest inner sword cultivators among sword cultivators, which is very consistent with the situation of the two people Li Yan encountered in the Lost Continent.
