Chapter 1454: Chanting in the Night, One Should Feel the Moonlight's Chill

Li Yan surveyed the scene. There were no dueling cultivators in the square below yet, but the seats high above were already buzzing with voices. However, in the area where Li Yan was, there were only a few dozen people at the moment, so the environment was still quite spacious.

As he looked around, his gaze soon fell on an area opposite them. There, the distance between each seat was actually forty to fifty zhang, making it look quite spacious and comfortable. At this time, only about forty to fifty people were sitting there. Behind them stood some people who looked like attendants or guards.

“That’s the area where only Spirit Transformation and Void Refining cultivators can enter!”

Tang Feng’s voice timely sounded in Li Yan’s ear.

Li Yan turned his head and smiled, nodding at Tang Feng. The other party knew that he was—

And just then, more than ten cultivators flew to their area. Li Yan didn’t pay much attention at first, but soon he noticed something was wrong.

When these ten-odd cultivators appeared and landed in their area, many people’s eyes lit up, and they all looked at these ten-odd cultivators.

Tang Feng was no exception. After these cultivators landed, they immediately dispersed.

Li Yan saw these people begin to go along each row of seats, whispering to each cultivator, and then showing them a bone plaque.

Before Li Yan could figure out what these people were doing, as he and Tang Feng were sitting at the starting end of a row of seats, a cultivator also walked quickly towards them, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

This cultivator was only at the Golden Core Realm. After arriving, he immediately bowed to the two of them.

“Seniors, are you interested?”

This person was also very discerning. Seeing Tang Feng and Li Yan sitting together, with the other cultivators in this row some distance away, he guessed that they had come out together.

Tang Feng already had a smile on his face.

“Show me!”

Upon hearing this, the Golden Core cultivator immediately stretched out his hand, also taking out a bone plaque, and then handed it to Tang Feng.

After handing over the bone plaque, the Golden Core cultivator immediately stood there with his hands clasped, not saying a word. Tang Feng, holding the bone plaque, tilted his upper body towards Li Yan.

“Fellow Daoist Li, let’s have a look together!”

Li Yan was completely bewildered. He couldn’t use his Divine Sense here, which was really troublesome. Hearing Tang Feng’s words, and seeing that he didn’t explain, but just held the bone plaque and tilted his body over, he also looked at the bone plaque in Tang Feng’s hand. After just a few lines, he immediately understood what these people were here for.

At the very top of the bone plaque was a line of words.

And below this line of text, it was divided into two paragraphs, the top one being.

“Profound Turtle, Great Perfection Golden Core cultivator, excels in defense, 17 battles, 13 wins, 4 losses. Three opponents killed. Cultivation method is…”

The bottom half was: “Nether Monkey, Great Perfection Golden Core cultivator, excels in speed, fierce cultivation method, 21 battles, 16 wins, 5 losses. Seven opponents killed. Cultivation method is…”

So these people were here to ask the soul cultivators present if they were willing to participate in the gambling duels!

After looking at the bone plaque, Li Yan felt that the dueling cultivators who would participate later probably didn’t use their real names, but were named after types of demonic beasts. This was probably to better and more directly reflect the characteristics of the cultivator’s cultivation method.

“How about it, Fellow Daoist Li, are you interested in playing a round first? If you bet on the right side, you can win a lot of Soul Crystal Sprouts.”

Tang Feng saw clearly—

“I plan to watch a round first, then decide!”

Li Yan had never been interested in gambling. In his view, these things were in the hands of others and were not reliable at all. He preferred to have all victories and defeats in his own hands. This was just his personality.

“Indeed, this is a gamble set up by the sect, but it’s also not very exciting. The winnings are just Soul Crystal Sprouts and Spirit Stones. If Fellow Daoist Li isn’t interested, you can walk around. There are also many people here who are privately setting up stakes to gamble. Their stakes are much more varied, with cultivation methods, medicinal pills, cultivation materials, and even some people betting their lives if there’s a grudge between them. However, those people are often weak themselves and want to kill their enemies. Nine times out of ten, no one will take the bet. It’s just an empty offer.”

Tang Feng explained.

As he spoke, he also gestured to Li Yan. Not far away, a few people were gathered together, as if discussing something. These people were all waiting for the bone plaque to arrive. After seeing the information on it, they would then decide how to bet.

Li Yan also shook his head at this.

“Hehehe… alright, then I’ll place my own bet!”

Seeing this, Tang Feng smiled at Li Yan.

He did not go over to where those people were gathered, but turned back and whispered a few words to the Golden Core cultivator, then handed him a Void Shadow bracelet. It seemed he had placed a large bet.

And just then, Li Yan discovered that in the special area diagonally opposite the square, many people were standing up.

“Look, even Great Master Lan is here today!”

“It’s true, Great Master Lan rarely shows her face…”

Some people also saw the commotion in the area diagonally opposite. After all, there were only a few dozen people in that area to begin with. The sudden rising of many people attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Li Yan’s gaze was also attracted by the other party, but in an instant, his body inadvertently trembled slightly.

This slight movement was seen by Tang Feng, who was right next to him. He chuckled softly.

“It seems Fellow Daoist Li has also heard of Great Master Lan’s fame. You see, although there are other Void Refining elders there, very few have such a reputation as Great Master Lan, which is known even to the Qi Condensation junior cultivators in the sect. She is a saint in the hearts of many disciples. Many disciples take reaching Great Master Lan’s achievements as their lifelong goal…”

Tang Feng also said with emotion.

Li Yan just nodded lightly, as if agreeing with his words.

His gaze was also fixed on the diagonal opposite, but no one knew that he had actually only glanced at Great Master Lan at the very beginning. After that, his gaze was fixed on a person behind Great Master Lan.

Li Yan had never expected that here, he would be able to see someone, someone who he had almost forgotten, but who would occasionally appear in his memories!

That person was standing behind Great Master Lan. Great Master Lan was already tall enough, but that person was actually half a head taller than her. The two of them were walking slowly over.

At this time, sunlight was just shining down from behind that area. The person’s tall figure seemed to come from within the halo of the rising sun. The expansion of the light and shadow behind her cast two exaggerated curves on the sides of her body. The waist cinched down, and the full buttocks formed a perfect arc.

Further down were two long legs that took up most of her body. The chain mail on her legs was tightly wrapped around her two long legs. Even through the chain mail, one could feel the roundness of her entire legs, as well as their astonishing elasticity.

Then, as the person walked forward, and the light changed, her entire face was revealed. Her whole person also seemed to walk out of the light and shadow, her appearance slowly becoming clear.

She wore a red-tasseled helmet, appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and had exceptionally delicate features. Her nose was high, and her pair of slanted phoenix eyes, as they glanced around, exuded a killing aura. Her lips were pressed tightly together, her pretty face was cold and arrogant, and her black armor was tightly fitted to her body. Below her round and perky chest, her small abdomen and waist were even more like a smooth streamline. Her whole person was like a straight spear.

It was in the instant he saw this person clearly that Li Yan’s body inadvertently trembled slightly.

“How can it be her?”

Li Yan felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning in an instant, his whole mind rumbling.

Tang Feng’s voice became ethereal in his ears, as if coming from a great distance, becoming somewhat familiar and strange.

Here, he actually saw someone he would never have thought of even in his dreams, the female Demonic General from the Black Demon Clan.

The one whose name he didn’t even know, but with whom he had a spring breeze encounter in the underwater Cave Residence!

Li Yan saw her, but the female Demonic General did not see Li Yan. One reason was that that area was special. It was because of the appearance of Great Master Lan that it had attracted a lot of attention.

In this “Soul Dueling Arena,” which was a hundred li in size, areas like Li Yan’s accounted for ninety percent. Although it couldn’t be called a sea of people, every area was also bustling with people.

And the female Demonic General’s gaze was just quietly looking ahead, with a cold and arrogant look. Of course, she would not see Li Yan’s side.

Li Yan was also a person with a strong mind. After just a moment of daze, he immediately returned to normal. Listening to Tang Feng’s introduction, his heart couldn’t help but stir, and he immediately withdrew his gaze.

“Fellow Daoist Tang, is the person behind Great Master Lan her disciple? Could it be that there is still an army here? She truly has the posture of a heroine!”

Li Yan immediately asked.

And in his heart, after seeing that female Demonic General clearly, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

He didn’t know why that female Demonic General had also come to the “True Earth Domain,” but behind Great Master Lan, only she followed closely, looking very familiar.

This made Li Yan’s heart cry out in bitterness. That female Demonic General knew him. Originally, Li Yan felt that even in the Immortal Spirit Realm, no one would know him. In the past, he had hoped to meet people he was familiar with, such as Zhu Luan and Mo Gu from the Malevolent Spirit Sect who had already left for ascension, but that was just a pipe dream.

Especially after coming to the “True Earth Domain,” Li Yan felt it was even more unlikely that he would be so coincidental as to meet someone he was familiar with.

So, he had only concealed his cultivation method and cultivation level, and had not changed his appearance. Because if a strong expert from the Soul Suppression Palace saw that he had changed his appearance, it would be counterproductive. It would become as if he had something to hide, a case of ‘no silver here.’

Unless he used a Verisimilitude Pill for a long time, but that kind of pill also had a time limit. What’s more, the Verisimilitude Pills he had could not withstand such long-term consumption.

As long as he couldn’t find a way to leave the “True Earth Domain” for a day, Li Yan had to stay honestly in the Soul Suppression Palace. Of course, it was best for him to enter the sect with his true appearance.

This was also the reason why Li Yan had not ambushed a disciple of the Soul Suppression Palace outside, pulled them into the “Earthen Patch,” and then entered in their place.

Impersonating someone who others knew had more drawbacks!

But now, he had unexpectedly seen that female Demonic General here, which made Li Yan break out in a cold sweat.

He immediately secretly rejoiced that Tang Feng had looked for him to come over today. Otherwise, if one day in the Soul Suppression Palace, he ran into that female Demonic General face to face, then he wouldn’t even be able to hide if he wanted to.

Through that one time in the underwater Cave Residence, the way this female Demonic General had attacked him, and some of the words she had said at the time, she knew that he was a cultivator from the Desolate Moon Continent. She also firmly remembered one thing: he had once destroyed the important treasure she was guarding at Windy Cool Mountain.

In addition to the ridiculous affair in the seabed of the Forsaken Continent, once this woman saw him, it was ninety-nine percent certain that she would want to kill him.

Although they were far apart, and Li Yan couldn’t sense the female Demonic General’s cultivation realm, he thought that at most she would be at the Spirit Transformation, or even just the Nascent Soul Realm. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be following so closely behind Great Master Lan, looking like a junior.

If such a strength were placed in the outside Immortal Spirit Realm, Li Yan wouldn’t be too afraid. At worst, if he couldn’t beat her, he would just run away.

But here, Li Yan couldn’t even run now. The plan he had worked so hard to conceal his identity and finally get into the Soul Suppression Palace had suddenly developed a huge loophole and was fraught with danger.

Thinking again about that Great Master Lan’s identity, Li Yan felt that he might have to run away again!
