Chapter 88

The divine consciousness shuttled through the colorful model, allowing one to feel as if they were personally touring the former Yunshuitian Palace.

But...

Apart from this, the *Yunshuitu Lu* seemed to have no other special functions.

"This *Yunshuitu Lu* might be more appropriately called *Yunshuitu Lu*."

"Or, is there some other secret hidden within it? Otherwise, why would someone offer a reward of 100,000 contribution points?"

Li Fan's heart was suddenly filled with many doubts.

But now was not the time to delve into it deeply.

Putting the colorful model into his storage ring, Li Fan bowed to the turtle-snake monster: "Ancestor Taiyi, please send me away from here. I still have matters to attend to with Junior Brother Baili Chen."

A moment later, Taiyi's aged voice sounded: "Mm, leaving is good. Leaving is good..."

It was the same reaction as when he sent Baili Chen away.

A blue light enveloped Li Fan.

Subsequently, Li Fan's figure also disappeared.

In front of the Taiyi Hall, a long silence ensued once again.

After an unknown amount of time, a strange sound broke the tranquility.

"Zzz..."

"Zzz..."

"Zzz..."

...

It sounded like swords being sharpened on a whetstone, or like a giant snake shedding its old skin.

Each time the sound accompanied it, countless sword shadows would appear from the void and pierce the turtle-snake monster.

"Boom!"

The Taiyi Hall suddenly sank, forcing the turtle-snake monster's limbs to retract.

The two black giant snakes at the head and tail let out a painful hiss, their fierce heads entwining as they returned to the Taiyi Hall.

"Pain..."

"Pain..."

Taiyi's aged and deranged voice, like thunder, echoed throughout the entire Yunshuitian Palace.

From the various buildings shrouded in white mist, various terrifying sounds seemed to come, echoing continuously.

The residual sword shadows fell like a torrential rain, suddenly intensifying.

"Roar!"

The turtle-snake monster's figure finally disappeared.

Only the empty Taiyi Hall and the increasingly vast forest of swords in front of it remained, silently witnessing Taiyi's eternal pain.

...

Congyun Sea.

Li Fan's vision blurred, and he felt himself return to the vast blue sea.

He had already left the range of the Yunshuitian Palace ruins in the central sea.

Sensing the positions of Sikong Yi and Baili Chen, Li Fan activated the *Ruying Suixing Jue* and closely followed them.

At the same time, the hidden *Wuxiang Shaji* suddenly activated.

Sikong Yi and the other two immediately encountered resistance, their speed greatly reduced.

Li Fan's speed, on the other hand, continued to increase.

The distance grew closer, and before long, he could faintly see their figures.

"Who are you? I've already given you the *Yunshuitu Lu*, why are you still纠缠着我们不放！" Sikong Yi's angry voice echoed.

Li Fan did not respond, only increasing his speed.

"Truly overbearing!" Seeing this, Sikong Yi abandoned his escape and turned to face Li Fan.

Golden sword auras appeared around him, undulating like dragons.

With a point of his finger, the sword auras surged, like flying dragons, attacking Li Fan.

Baili Chen, however, used some secret technique, and his speed suddenly increased several times.

He attempted to escape towards a distant island.

"Do you still want to use the same trick of the golden cicada shedding its shell? To use the island's teleportation array to return to the Ten Thousand Immortal Island?"

"Good idea."

"But I was prepared for this."

Li Fan watched the two, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable light.

Ever since he learned from Jiao Xiuyuan that Sikong Yi and Baili Chen often acted together,

To have a better chance of dealing with the two, Li Fan specially bought some targeted magical artifacts in the Tianxuan Realm.

For example, now...

A shield surrounded by flames appeared in front of him, blocking Sikong Yi's golden sword auras.

The Crimson Fire Shield, 350 contribution points.

It had a natural restraining effect on Sikong Yi's metallic sword auras.

Li Fan then took out a black chain from his storage ring.

One end aimed at Sikong Yi, the other at Baili Chen.

With a light toss,

The black chain rapidly extended, swiftly tying Sikong Yi and Baili Chen together.

The chain then contracted sharply.

Baili Chen, who was fleeing at breakneck speed, was suddenly yanked back towards Sikong Yi.

The Soul Binding Chain.

Li Fan spent 958 contribution points to have a Foundation Establishment-level alchemist from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance custom-make it.

Once the two were tied together, they could not be too far apart from each other.

Finally, looking at the two tied together, Li Fan took out an array diagram.

The Green Wood Purple Fire Array.

A full 1500 contribution points.

Its power was formidable; once activated, a typical Qi Condensation-stage cultivator would turn to ashes within a short time.

Li Fan's expression remained unchanged as he activated the array, enveloping Sikong Yi and Baili Chen.

Though it seemed long, from the moment Li Fan blocked Sikong Yi's golden sword auras to trapping the two in the array, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

The two had no time to react and became fish in a jar, unable to escape.

"Who are you?!"

Sikong Yi saw that each of Li Fan's moves was highly targeted.

He clearly understood that Li Fan had been planning this for a long time.

Li Fan did not respond, using the *Fuchong Shentong* to control Baili Chen.

Ignoring Sikong Yi's curses, Li Fan activated the array, burning Sikong Yi.

"Ah!"

Amidst the screams, Sikong Yi turned to ashes.

But...

There were no unusual phenomena in the sky above.

Then, as Li Fan had anticipated, a shadow slowly appeared beside Baili Chen.

The shadow writhed and gradually took on a solid form.

Sikong Yi, had revived!

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and activated the array again.

The screams continued.

Sikong Yi died once more.

This time, after reviving, his cultivation dropped from the late Qi Condensation stage to the middle Qi Condensation stage.

Li Fan seemed to understand something.

The purple flames flickered, and Sikong Yi faced a new round of death.

Sikong Yi's curses turned into pleas for mercy.

Then into tearful, painful entreaties.

But Li Fan remained unmoved.

Sikong Yi was mysterious and had extremely strong survival skills.

Having already taken the *Yunshuitu Lu* worth 100,000 contribution points from him, Li Fan had already made a mortal enemy of him.

Even if he couldn't force out Sikong Yi's secrets, Li Fan would never let him go.

The Green Wood Purple Fire Array was activated repeatedly.

Soon, Sikong Yi's cultivation had dropped to the early Qi Condensation stage.

His face showed a look of despair.

He collapsed and begged Li Fan for mercy.

To save his life, he chose to reveal all his secrets.

Li Fan listened silently, his expression constantly changing.

Finally, the purple flames flickered.

After dying three times in a row, Sikong Yi did not revive again.

Baili Chen, after Sikong Yi's death, also turned to dust and completely disappeared from the world.

At the place where Sikong Yi disappeared, a black token floated quietly in the air.

Li Fan picked up the token, and a piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.

The holder of this token shall command the Heaven-Swapping Sect.
