Chapter 1188: Chapter 397: The Abandoned Disciple of Dragon Tiger Mountain (Double-Length Chapter)

Lei Jun: "I believe he has related plans, but the Corpse Flea King is not an easy opponent, so he will likely be wary of this."

The world is unpredictable, and Li Bin has finally found an opportunity.

In the past few years, the Earth Sea has been closed to the outside, while the Jiuli continue their battles internally. The Corpse Flea King is already beyond help, and the contenders for control over him and Li Zhongding’s remains are Li Yuanheng of the Tanli and Li Bin of the Juli."

Li Tianqing and Wen Xi realized: "Li Yuanheng had already sensed it back then, so it’s no wonder he suddenly teamed up with ’Li Zhongding,’ triggering rampant Earth Sea tides that expelled all mortal cultivators."

Five years ago in that battle, Li Yuanheng and the Tanli, Wuli, Guangli, and Fuli tribes allied, were ambushed by a coalition led by the Wenli, suffering heavy casualties.

Coincidentally, Tang Xiaotang and other mortal cultivators charged into the Earth Sea, helping relieve pressure on Li Yuanheng and others.

However, later Li Yuanheng teamed up with ’Li Zhongding’ to trigger the largest Earth Sea tide, excluding Tang Xiaotang and other mortal cultivators.

Yes, indeed, both sides cannot be considered true allies.

Mortal cultivators are equally wary of Li Yuanheng and his people.

It was not surprising that they burned bridges after crossing.

But the timing was unexpected to almost everyone, including Lei Jun.

At the time, everyone was wondering, while burning bridges after crossing the river, had the injured Li Yuanheng safely crossed?

Looking back now, it seems Li Yuanheng had already discovered the secret of the Corpse Flea King and ’Li Zhongding’ then.

And the Great Witch of Gu Techniques, Li Yuanheng, even if injured, still had many peculiar methods.

In this state, he might not be able to deal with the real Li Zhongding.

But the situation of the Corpse Flea King controlling Li Zhongding’s corpse might present an opportunity for Li Yuanheng.

He wanted to make Li Zhongding’s remains and that Great Demon his own.

On the other hand, Li Bin, the patriarch of the Juli, had long had plans for the Corpse Flea King and Li Zhongding’s remains.

In terms of cultivation realm, he could not match Li Yuanheng, so initially, he was unable to deal with the Corpse Flea King.

But as Li Yuanheng struck at the Corpse Flea King, Li Bin also saw an opportunity.

"Although Li Yuanheng was injured, he was still in an advantageous position early on."

Lei Jun said: "When our sect’s Tang arrived, Li Yuanheng was not far from success."

Unfortunately, his efforts fell short.

Tang Xiaotang had long been devoted to thinking about the Earth Sea, which this time brought her rewards.

She arrived in time to spoil Li Yuanheng’s plans, causing his efforts to refine and control the Corpse Flea King and Li Zhongding’s remains to fail miserably.

But after Li Yuanheng’s earlier rubbing and exhaustion, the Corpse Flea King was now weak, which gave Li Bin an advantage.

The latest news from the Earth Sea reports that in the battle for Li Zhongding’s remains, Li Bin finally took the lead.

"Celestial Master, what about the other tribes in the Jiuli now?" Wen Xi asked softly, while Li Tianqing was deep in thought nearby.

Lei Jun: "Currently, the situation is quite chaotic. The Fu Li clan, led by their patriarch Li Xun, continues to support Li Yuanheng and the Tanli tribe.

On the side of the Lu Li, they have turned against Li Bin."

The new patriarch of the Lu Li clan, Li Jin, has always revered Li Zhongding.

Thus, when ’Li Zhongding’ re-emerged, Li Jin led the Lu Li clan to respond.

Who would have expected it to end this way."

"Thank you for the information, Celestial Master."

Li Tianqing remained expressionless and then said: "The current situation in the Earth Sea is chaotic, so I will stick to my original plan, entering the Earth Sea to lend a helping hand to National Master Tang. For the rest, we’ll see what happens."

Lei Jun: "Thank you, Li."

Li Tianqing appeared openly in the Southern Wilderness, attracting attention from all sides of the Witchcraft Sect.

However, the news that he had visited the current Celestial Master at Dragon Tiger Mountain earlier spread through Wen Xi.

The Witchcraft Sect heard this, their hearts slightly at ease, and with the Gepo Mountain faction as the lead, many cultivators from the Witchcraft Sect went to join Li Tianqing, under his leadership, to reopen the portal from the Mortal Realm to the Earth Sea.

Still, people had some misgivings in their hearts.

Because the true Sect Leader of the Blood River Sect, Xing Feng, is still missing.

However, as the Celestial Master Mansion and Mount Shu Sect, along with Mystery Observatory, also sent Daoist disciples carrying many Magic Artifacts to suppress and dispel the black fog of the Earth Sea to the Southern Wilderness, the Witchcraft Sect followers temporarily put aside their concerns.

With the endorsement of the Celestial Master Mansion at Dragon Tiger Mountain from the Tang Dynasty Daoists, their persuasive power is stronger than anything else.

The portal from the Tang Dynasty Mortal Realm to the Earth Sea reopened, with Li Tianqing leading mortal cultivators into it.

The Earth Sea Jiuli suffered another heavy blow.

Lei Jun stood on Dragon Tiger Mountain, silently watching the massive production of magic artifacts being rushed, then sent to Earth Sea.

The malevolent atmosphere in Earth Sea was temporarily suppressed, allowing the mortal world cultivators to perform more freely in this time period.

Subsequently, new information continued to be relayed back.

Upon learning the relationship between the Corpse Flea King and Li Zhongding, Tang Xiaotang actually felt less vengeful towards him.

Especially as the Corpse Flea King was repeatedly crushed by Li Yuanheng and Li Bin, Tang Xiaotang instead found herself gloating with amusement.

Therefore, Tang Xiaotang shifted her focus to the Tan Li clan leader, Li Yuanheng.

Li Yuanheng lost the opportunity to control Li Zhongding’s corpse and the Corpse Flea King, and though he was still injured, he found himself targeted by Tang Xiaotang. Despite his profound foundation as a Great Witch of the Nine Li clans with Ninth Heavenly Layer Perfection, he had no choice but to flee.

That day, when Tang Xiaotang returned from the Great Unity to the mortal world, the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures accompanied her at all times.

She possessed the Heavenly Heart Clarity Talisman, which generally ensured she would not encounter danger.

The only uncertainty lay in her nature and style, as she might knowingly walk towards danger despite understanding the risks.

Therefore, Lei Jun simply instructed Tang Xiaotang to continue carrying the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures along her journey.

Now, in the Earth Sea, Li Yuanheng was in a dire situation.

Without injuries, utilizing the geographical advantages of Earth Sea, he could still put up a fight against Tang Xiaotang.

In his current state, even fleeing was fraught with peril.

Due to all the previous events, the Nine Li clans in Earth Sea were on the brink of fragmentation.

Earth Sea was on the verge of changing hands.

Li Yuanheng was also a ruthless figure.

He directed the Tan Li clan to withdraw, meanwhile creating further chaos in the Earth Sea situation.

Once, Li Yuanheng personally led the four clans’ Great Witches against the group of demons from Luo Yuan, and this time, he personally reopened the Void Gateway from Earth Sea to Luo Yuan.

Two of the Ten Lands were once again connected.

On the other hand, Li Yuanheng had also prepared other escape routes.

He opened a secret portal from Earth Sea to another mortal realm.

"The mortal realm where the Great Song Dynasty and the alien Khanate are located?"

On Dragon Tiger Mountain, Shangguan Ning, Liu Xiao, and the other elders of the Celestial Master Mansion were quite surprised upon hearing this.

Lei Jun seemed thoughtful: "Although unexpected, it isn’t entirely without reason. That realm, due to various reasons, has fragmented mountains and rivers, forming numerous ghostly valleys and lightless territories."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ning was enlightened: "The people of the Nine Li clans from Earth Sea, going to the mortal realm, require such an environment to avoid the sunlight."

Li Yuanheng decisively led the Tan Li clan to depart.

Earth Sea was now like a sieve leaking from all sides.

However, Li Yuanheng had no time to be overly pleased.

Tang Xiaotang was single-mindedly watching him, directly pursuing him into the mortal realm where the alien Khanate was located.

"This change was slightly unexpected."

Lei Jun instructed Shangguan Ning and Liu Xiao: "Sister Tang has gone alone, the situation is unclear, and if necessary, I will go to assist. Meanwhile, I ask you, masters, to oversee the situation at the mansion."

Yuan Mobai was in seclusion, but Wang Guiyuan was still on the mountain.

In the Tang Dynasty mortal realm, there were also Empress Zhang Wantong and Xiao Xueting, so the Ancestral Court on Dragon Tiger Mountain was still stable.

Though the whereabouts of Blood River Sect’s Xing Feng were unknown, from what Lei Jun knew, Sun Li, who was also keeping a low profile, was still in the Tang Dynasty mortal realm at present.

In the midst of Earth Sea, Tang Xiaotang pursued Li Yuanheng toward the mortal realm of the alien Khanate.

Li Tianqing was engaged in a fierce battle with Li Bin, who was struggling to seize control of the Corpse Flea King.

The side entrance to Luo Yuan had reopened, making the situation in Earth Sea quite complicated.

Before Lei Jun left the mountain, he continued to organize various pieces of information, and a name he hadn’t seen for a long time suddenly caught his attention:

Chen Yi.

As far as the Celestial Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain was concerned, he was an exiled disciple who had never been settled with due responsibility because, for various reasons, the Dragon Tiger Mountain faction had never truly put efforts into eradicating him.

Chen Yi, for his part, also spent many years wandering outside, rarely contacting the successors of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Recently heard related news was that he had entered Luo Yuan.

This time, it was the warriors of the Divine Strategy Army of the Great Tang who discovered traces of Chen Yi at the reopening portal of Luo Yuan in Earth Sea. For unknown reasons, he had exited Luo Yuan and entered Earth Sea.

Recalling Chen Yi’s identity, the warriors of the Divine Strategy Army immediately reported, and the Great Tang side relayed the information to the Celestial Master Mansion of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
