Chapter 133 Slippery
Li Lan was like a fish in water underground.
As long as he wished, he could go anywhere in the earth.
As long as he held his breath long enough, diving deep wouldn't be a problem.
But at this moment,
Li Lan couldn't be happy at all.
Behind him,
a fiery light, like a bone-deep ulcer, clung tightly.
No matter how Li Lan dodged and weaved, he couldn't completely shake off the opponent.
Wang An's escape technique was in no way inferior to his own.
It was unrealistic to try to shake him off with a single Spell in a short amount of time.
His heart couldn't help but grow heavier and heavier.
This Earth Movement Escape was obtained from a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator and was a profound Spell.
Given his current Cultivation Realm, even if he hadn't fully unleashed the power of this Spell,
the consumption of magical power was evident.
At such an escape speed, Li Lan wouldn't be able to last much longer.
On the other hand, Wang An's
Realm was a level higher than his.
Although he didn't know the consumption of the escape technique the opponent was using,
it was clearly unrealistic for a Middle Stage Qi Condensation Cultivator to exhaust the magical power of a Late Stage Cultivator.
Wang An also seemed to have noticed this.
Seeing Li Lan flee for a long time without using any new Spells to escape,
he was convinced that the opponent had run out of tricks.
This was also in line with common sense.
As a Qi Condensation Cultivator, it was already very rare to have so many tricks and methods.
If he kept pulling out various escape techniques endlessly, that would be abnormal.
Thinking of this,
Wang An felt a little relieved and relaxed slightly.
While chasing closely, he even had enough energy to put psychological pressure on Li Lan.
"Fellow Daoist's identity is probably not as simple as the Su Family of Feixue River, is it?
I observe that the structure of your Puppet is extremely ingenious, even the craftsmanship of the Mo Family in Jiuhua County City can hardly compare.
What is Your Excellency's true identity, and who is your master?"
Li Lan's heart stirred slightly,
and he said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you have good eyesight. Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore.
I am Mo Gongcheng of the Mo Family. Although I am from a concubine's lineage, I am quite valued in the Mo Family.
If Your Excellency can leave now, I, Mo, will not inform my family elders about this matter, and I will have a generous gift to thank you in the future.
How about it?"
Wang An chuckled.
"Easy to say. Stop now and hand over all the good things on you.
For the Mo Family's Face, I will naturally let you live."
Li Lan's gaze sharpened, and his voice turned cold.
"We are all from the Righteous Path. Why must Fellow Daoist be so ruthless?
Show mercy when you can!
If Fellow Daoist pushes things to the extreme, aren't you afraid of the Mo Family elders pursuing this matter in the future?"
Wang An heard this and laughed even more wildly.
"Slippery brat, you're quite natural at switching identities.
But you can't fool me.
I have quite a few tokens from various Families and Sects in my hand.
There's no need to show off these old tricks of disguise that I've already played.
Moreover,
even if we take ten thousand steps back,
it has already come to this point, let alone a junior of the Mo Family.
What if you are even an attendant of the Human Emperor Hall?
I'm taking the things on you.
The only difference is whether you obediently hand them over yourself and keep your body intact,
or if you're captured by me and want to taste the suffering of Soul burning."
Wang An flicked his sleeve,
and more than a dozen Family and Sect Disciple tokens flew in front of Li Lan.
He looked closely,
and his brows couldn't help but twitch slightly.
The opponent was actually the same type of person as him.
This truly was a case of a strong person meeting an even stronger one, and a deceiver encountering someone who recognized deceit.
So, in that case,
was the opponent's identity as a Wang family Loose Cultivator not necessarily true either?
Li Lan, recognizing the situation, simply stopped fleeing.
He found a secluded forest,
and with a single wave of his hand, more than ten Spirit Bean Soldiers appeared in front of him.
However, unlike before,
these Bean Soldiers were not holding Spell-casting auxiliary materials,
but rather Formation Flags of identical appearance.
Wang An saw this and laughed in surprise.
"How can you set up a grand Formation temporarily in time?
Do you think I'll give you that chance?"
He formed a hand seal,
summoned a long spear Magical Artifact,
and was about to crush these Spirit Bean Soldiers, who were scattered about setting up Formation Flags, into smithereens.
However, just as he made a move,
a brilliant light descended,
and the long spear Magical Artifact lost its connection with him.
"? You really are related to the Human Emperor Hall?"
Upon seeing the iconic Judge Cui's Pen, which represented the Human Emperor Hall,
Wang An became a little unsettled.
His previous words contained an element of exaggeration.
In fact,
as long as they weren't Loose Cultivators without any background or reliance,
as long as they still wanted to survive peacefully in the Cultivation World, very few Cultivators would be crazy enough to provoke the Human Emperor Hall.
It wasn't that they couldn't contend, it was simply unnecessary.
Completely disrupting the current Cultivation World,
would bring absolutely no benefit to these Cultivators with foundations.
Only those individual Loose Cultivators who had no fixed Cultivation resources like Spiritual Veins or spiritual plants,
and longed to break the rules and reshape the order, would be willing to do so.
Wang An had now relied on the Wang family,
and was about to acquire his own Spiritual Vein resource.
He naturally wouldn't be willing to provoke the Human Emperor Hall and reshape the order again.
Even if there was a dying Early-stage Foundation Establishment attendant placed before him for him to pick up the spoils,
Wang An would probably have to carefully consider
whether the long-term free Cultivation qualification in an Immortal Cave with a Spiritual Vein was more important,
or the relics of an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator were superior.
Of course,
these thoughts only lasted for a few breaths before disappearing from Wang An's mind.
He quickly figured it out and regained his confidence and composure.
"No, you can't be a Cultivator of the Human Emperor Hall.
You said you were a Disciple of the Su Family of Feixue River, and now you've pulled out the Judge Cui's Pen.
Feixue River is located in the County South Region, and the two Human Emperor Hall attendants who previously possessed this treasure just happened to die in County South.
Given this, there's only one possibility:
Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to be so brazen as to actually dare to attack a Human Emperor Hall attendant.
Your Excellency truly fears nothing.
Are there no Cultivators or Families in Jiuhua County, or even the entire Cultivation World, that you care about?
No wonder you, a Cultivator from the County South Region, ran all the way to the County North.
No wonder you have so many strange Spells and exquisite Puppets.
No wonder you concealed your aura and didn't expose your Cultivation Realm.
Everything makes sense now."
Although it was just a wishful guess,
Wang An, with only some fragmented clues, managed to guess the general situation with remarkable accuracy.
Finally, he chuckled again and sighed:
"However, I must thank Fellow Daoist for this action, which created the current situation in Jiuhua County.
It gave a group of unknown small and medium-sized Families an opportunity,
otherwise,
my Wang family probably never would have imagined that one day we could also obtain our own Spiritual Vein.
Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will not expose this matter.
After all, I must properly keep this treasure for you."
Although the opponent's guess was very close to the truth,
Li Lan, compared to before, was not flustered at all, but rather exceptionally calm.
