Chapter 925: Chapter 403: Ascending to the Pinnacle of the Great Dao

The Hongbo Fairy is dead.

Her death came too suddenly, beyond everyone’s expectations, so all the cultivators present, even the Daluo Golden Immortal, remained in shock for a long time.

The power of the Immortal Venerable Array has already dissipated and vanished; this array could only be controlled by the Hongbo Fairy alone. With her death, it naturally returned to peace.

"Did the Hongbo Fairy die at her disciple’s hand?"

"What exactly happened, Qi Yue Fairy is her only direct disciple."

"Undercover? Traitor?!"

Everyone was astonished.

Celestial Monarch Zuo Feng, Celestial Monarch Shi Teng, Chu Minggu, and others were momentarily shocked; the death of the Hongbo Fairy did not surprise them. What chilled their hearts was... the calculation by the Purple Fairy and the Dao Sect.

When did the Hongbo Fairy accept Qi Yue Fairy as her disciple? It should have been around three thousand years ago. So, does this mean the calculation by the Purple Fairy and the Dao Sect started three thousand years ago?

Spanning three thousand years, they finally led the Hongbo Fairy to her demise today.

This patience, this scheming, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would feel startled.

"There was actually such a backup plan; no wonder, no wonder!"

"In the heart of the Heavenly Court, a blade was inserted—how could the Hongbo Fairy not lose!"

"Indeed, such ruthlessness is comparable to Li Supreme of the past."

Ye Tiancan, Biyao Fairy, and Wan Xingzi suddenly felt relieved, their hearts full of complex emotions, frequently glancing toward Biluo Palace...

Daoist Sect Leader, An Li.

At this moment, in their eyes, An Li’s figure vaguely overlapped with the one who won everyone’s admiration back then, the Dao Sect’s Supreme.

"What a deep concealment."

Ye Cauldron couldn’t help but sigh.

"Li An’s chosen successor really is like him..."

Yunxi thought of something unknown and couldn’t help but smile.

Xiang Yuntian was dumbfounded for a long time, failing to understand why Qi Yue Fairy suddenly became a traitor to the Heavenly Court, an undercover agent for the Dao Sect.

His gaze was distant; how many things did An Li, this brat, do secretly without telling him?

Feeling uneasy under his mentor’s gaze, An Li couldn’t sit still. He stood up and smiled guiltily at his mentor.

When facing Xiang Yuntian, he would occasionally still show the demeanor of that young man from the past.

"Hmph, after this affair is over, explain it properly to me. It’s damn convoluted."

Xiang Yuntian shook his head. He wasn’t skilled in these machinations and plots, and at this point, he was too lazy to think about them. He turned around, raised the Ta’e Sword, and said, "Hongbo is dead; a new leader must assume position, Purple Fairy!"

His rallying cry echoed, and immediately, behind him, numerous cultivators from the Dao Sect, Biluo Palace, Treasure Cauldron Palace, Celestial Pearl Palace, and others shouted loudly, shaking the Ninefold Celestial Palace!

"Purple Fairy!"

"Purple Fairy!"

"Purple Fairy!"

The sound was like thunder, resounding everywhere, resembling an urging war drum, containing an intensively stirring spirit that truly moved people’s hearts. Many forces who were hesitant moments before now joined in the loud chants without delay.

Only the old figures like Celestial Monarch Zuo Feng and Celestial Monarch Shi Teng looked extremely displeased, remaining silent, merely on guard, appearing ready to leave at any moment.

Amidst the tidal wave of voices, the Purple Fairy seemed to turn a deaf ear. She walked to the front of the Hongbo Fairy’s imperial carriage, looking at Qi Yue Fairy who held a bloody small sword, with a trace of doubt in her eyes, asked, "What is your relationship with Li An?" ℯℯ𝑙.

Qi Yue Fairy stood up and said, "Reporting to the grandmaster, I am Ying Meng’Er from Yingyuan Island in the Southern Sea of the Spirit Realm. Later, I was saved by Master Li An. Before the chaos in the Spirit Realm, he ventured alone into danger. Before parting, he bestowed me the Dao name, Immortal Illusionist."

Pausing for a moment, she added, "Master said that in his life, he had three disciples: Senior Sister Lihua, Second Senior Brother Hidden Ink Master. Sadly, my Senior Sister and Senior Brother have perished over time, leaving only me now."

"After the chaos in the Spirit Realm, Immortal Illusionist went through many trials, faced a bleak future, and was on the brink of death. Luckily, I encountered Senior Shangguan Xiaoxiao. She recognized me, saved me, and found a still viable corpse, allowing me to reside in it and survive."

"It was from Senior Shangguan that I learned Master had been harmed by the treacherous Hongbo Fairy. So, following Senior Shangguan’s plan, I joined Hongbo’s sect, awaiting this day."

"Now I have finally avenged my master."

Upon hearing this, a complex expression appeared on Purple Fairy’s face.

Li An passed away four thousand years ago, yet today’s series of events still centers around him; too many consequences were due to the causes he planted.

The Tai’e Sword Saint protected the Dao Sect for years, merely because during the battle at Taiji Mountain, Li An defeated him with the fusion of his person and sword but spared his life and respectfully called him mentor. What kind of character is the Tai’e Sword Saint? Out of gratitude for Li An, he taught Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye for many years.

An Li in the Dao Sect was definitely not the most suitable candidate at that time. Above him were Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye. Below him were Li Nianxue and Li Qingran, all closely connected to Li An. Yet he let An Li inherit the position of Sect Leader. Indeed, An Li did not let him down, orchestrating the current situation.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao goes without saying. During the battle of Taiji Mountain, Li An used all his strength to ensure her escape alive. Everything she did was not for immortality but solely for revenge for Li An.

Even those allies of the Dao Sect among the heroes of the Immortal Realm, such as Yunxi and Ye Cauldron, are largely due to Li An.
