Chapter 1536: Breaking the Ice (Part Two)
As Li Yan spoke, his gaze remained calm, but he glanced ahead.
The chaotic powers were still surging, filling the empty space. Once it was full, they would spread over again.
He guessed that as time passed and Elder Hao and the other calmed down, they would have had ample time to think.
Although they couldn’t be certain of his identity yet, their suspicions alone were enough to have him captured. Li Yan, of course, would not allow himself to be cast aside after he had served his purpose.
“Are you trying to threaten us?”
Elder Hao’s eyes narrowed.
Li Yan’s actions were very sudden. He had never expected that the other party would finally reveal his true colors so quickly.
A mere little Spirit Transformation cultivator dared to threaten Void Refining and Body Integration experts. If this were outside, he would have annihilated him with a single glance.
However, this Li Yan was also quite cunning. The timing he had chosen made Elder Hao feel a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, a very uncomfortable feeling as if he could only gasp for air.
The other party had seen that they were about to break through the passage and had immediately stopped.
Elder Hao also glanced ahead. He felt that with his cultivation, having reached this point, he had a certain chance of being able to force his way through this final distance.
But after the attempts a few days ago, he was still not sure how long this final distance was. He could not accurately guess the true situation behind this chaos based on the slight difference he had just seen.
The time he could last inside would not be too long!
More importantly, even if he passed through here, what lay beyond was not necessarily the outside world.
If there were other dangers, wouldn’t he be stuck in the middle? The most crucial thing was that the chaotic power here would soon regenerate and fill the entire passage again.
If he were to be trapped inside, unable to return and unable to get out, it would be certain death!
Just then, Li Yan suddenly formed another hand seal and actually cast a spell again. Seeing that the other party did not answer his question, but suddenly moved again…
After seeing the target of Li Yan’s spell, Elder Hao subconsciously pulled and led, and the piece of pure power that had just been fused by Li Yan was led away.
Then, Li Yan’s movements stopped again!
Then, he answered Elder Hao’s question.
“You can easily destroy me with a raise of your hands. What threat can this disciple pose? On the contrary, once we are able to leave this place, this disciple will be truly useless.”
On the other side, Elder Hao and Great Master Lan saw Li Yan, who had suddenly attacked and then stopped again, continue to speak calmly.
Looking at the place where he had just attacked, they immediately understood.
The place where Li Yan had attacked was where the chaotic powers were about to spread over. Li Yan was going to stand here and negotiate with them.
Thus, a strange scene appeared. Li Yan, while talking to the other party, would occasionally cast a spell.
And as soon as he cast a spell, someone on the other side would immediately act, clearing away that piece of spreading chaotic power again.
“You really are a foreign cultivator?”
Great Master Lan’s pair of purple eyes stared at Li Yan coldly. This time, she finally spoke.
Seeing Great Master Lan looking at him like this, a helpless expression appeared on Li Yan’s face. He suddenly bowed slightly to Great Master Lan and performed a solemn salute.
“Li Yan is deeply grateful for Senior’s kindness. But in order to get out, I will do so at any cost!”
“Moreover, this junior has never had the slightest disrespect for the sect. Although my purpose for entering the sect was not pure, I have never done anything to let the sect down.”
These words from Li Yan were undoubtedly a tacit admission that he was a foreign cultivator!
“You’ve never done anything to let the sect down, but what is the meaning of this?” Great Master Lan continued to press.
When she heard the word “sect” from Li Yan’s mouth, her expression also changed, and a complex emotion appeared. Li Yan still admitted that he was a disciple of the Soul-Suppression Palace.
And what he said was also very true. After entering the sect, Li Yan had not betrayed the sect. Even during the rebellion of the nine great powers, he had not only saved Tang Feng but also helped the two Supreme Elders escape.
No matter what his purpose was, even from the perspective of inheriting from the previous generation or passing on to the next, the role Li Yan played could even be said to have linked the lineage of inheritance. On the contrary, he had performed a great service.
“I don’t know if what’s behind this passage is truly the outside world. Perhaps we are all just getting our hopes up for nothing.”
“But when that time comes, no matter what, this disciple’s value will be greatly reduced, because your biggest problem will have been solved.”
“And then, you will have countless means to deal with this junior, such as planting a soul imprint and having me lead the way back for you, and so on!” Li Yan said lightly.
“Hehehe… are you reminding me? I can plant a soul imprint on you right now with just a thought!”
Hearing this, Elder Hao had a mocking expression on his face.
Before, although Li Yan’s cultivation method was a bit strange, it was still considered an explanation for them, and could be barely explained.
The most crucial thing was that Li Yan had been actively solving these chaotic powers, so there was no need for them to do anything. Wasn’t their purpose to break through here?
In any case, control over Li Yan was something that could be done anytime, anywhere, with just a thought from him.
But at this time, Li Yan had suddenly exposed himself on his own initiative, without even the last bit of concealment and disguise.
The other party obviously also knew that they might interrogate him carefully after getting out, so this young man was very sharp-witted and acted first.
Everything before him was not what Li Yan wanted. If he could continue peacefully like this, Li Yan would definitely not be doing what he was doing now.
Once the chaotic power was resolved, the other party would definitely look for the root cause. It was only a matter of time before he was completely exposed.
After hearing Elder Hao’s words, Great Master Lan also stared at Li Yan coldly. In her impression, Li Yan should not be such a stupid person.
Although she had been suspicious before, it was, after all, just suspicion. She thought that Li Yan should be able to guess this.
She was only planning to investigate Li Yan’s background after returning, or after resolving the matter at hand. For Li Yan to act so suddenly, was he so guilty that he had reached this point?
After speaking, Elder Hao still did not act immediately.
He was also somewhat surprised and uncertain in his heart. The feeling Li Yan gave him was that of a very smart person. Why did he choose to act like this?
Moreover, the current situation was indeed as he had said. He was a Body Integration Realm soul cultivator. Planting a soul imprint on a Spirit Transformation cultivator was really too easy.
It was just a matter of a thought. So, he wanted to see what this Li Yan really wanted to do. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to act.
In any case, Li Yan could not do any damage to this mountain cave, or anything here. That was something even he could not do.
Especially now, Li Yan was still clearing the area from time to time, as if he did not want to destroy the result of their hard work in breaking through to this point.
“I naturally believe in the terror of a Body Integration Realm cultivator, but this is just an avatar of mine. As for my main body, even if you want to find it now, it seems very difficult.”
“Moreover, this avatar of mine is only formed by an art and does not have a soul!”
At this moment, a smile appeared on Li Yan’s face.
But the smile that appeared on his face made Elder Hao and the other feel that it was quite strange!
