Chapter 330: Illusionary Dream Manipulation

Li Fan didn't rush to rescue the girl who was being tortured by pain.

Instead, he slowly comprehended the authority belonging to him as the master by sensing everything happening to Lu Xuejing.

"Mmm... I can vaguely sense the scenes around her body. I can even speak directly in her mind, issuing commands."

"In this case, the communication talisman earlier was redundant, and instead leaves a loophole."

"It's better to take it back."

Li Fan, calm and composed, slowly flew to Lu Xuejing's side.

After enduring prolonged agony, her beautiful face had turned as pale as a sheet of paper.

Her entire body seemed as if it had just been fished out of water, drenched in sweat.

Her exquisite figure was faintly visible beneath her wet, transparent clothing.

Li Fan held her trembling body firmly, circulating his spiritual energy within her body.

The other party's body seemed to be completely defenseless against him.

In the blink of an eye, Li Fan completed his exploration.

There were no more secrets left to reveal in Li Fan's eyes.

When Li Fan saw the Foundation Treasure in Lu Xuejing's dantian, he couldn't help but sigh.

A vast, snowy plain.

Many miniature cities and villages were even faintly visible.

A piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Earthly Treasure: Winter Crystal."

"As expected of a top-tier second generation cultivator of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, being able to establish a foundation at twenty-three years old and possessing an Earthly Treasure that complements both her physique and cultivation technique."

"Her life's starting point is an existence that ordinary cultivators cannot hope to reach even in a lifetime."

"Unfortunately, she's not very bright..."

Li Fan's gaze was ice-cold, devoid of any pity.

Li Fan continued his examination.

"There's only pure spiritual energy inside her body, without any other foreign energies. There are no traces of formations or restrictions..."

"The source of this pain..."

"It's as if it directly modified the body's underlying settings through the origin."

"Without the master, the foundation necessary for sustaining life is lost."

"This kind of means is beyond comprehension."

Combined with the recent pain akin to being in purgatory still fresh in her mind, Lu Xuejing couldn't muster the courage to resist.

She hesitated for a moment, then flipped over and gracefully knelt down to Li Fan, touching her forehead to the ground.

Without Li Fan's command, she didn't dare to move.

"You may go, patiently cultivate and await my orders," Li Fan finally spoke after a long time.

"I understand, Master." Lu Xuejing bowed her head again.

Then she got up and flew away, showing no signs of panic in her movements, and her face regained its previous proud expression.

"With Lu Xuejing's cooperation, my chances of entering the Five Element Subworlds have increased significantly. Whether I can succeed depends on how things develop."

"However, preparations still need to be made."

Watching Lu Xuejing disappear, after a moment, Li Fan's body also turned into streaks of light and returned to Tianyu City.

Before cultivating, Li Fan searched for information about Guan Xingxiu, the commander of the Tianyu Province Garrison Courtyard.

When Ji Hongdao uncharacteristically let him leave earlier, he had said not to worry about any accidents happening.

At that time, Li Fan had a premonition that the commander's fate might not be good.

At first glance, it was true.

First, he was dismissed and investigated.

Then, a conclusion was quickly reached: he was stripped of a major realm of cultivation and exiled to the remote Lanlin Province in the south.

The punishment was severe.

In addition to Guan Xingxiu, two other commanders were also severely punished.

Although it wasn't as cruel as stripping away cultivation, they were also transferred from their positions and had no chance of becoming the overall Chief Commander of the Garrison Courtyard.

"This is an aggressive method to inform those below that the determination to build the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation is firm."

"Whether you're wrongly accused or the person behind the conspiracy, as long as you're involved in this matter, you'll be severely punished."

"For the sake of contending for the position of Chief Commander, using some conspiracies is acceptable."

"But hindering the progress of the Tianxuan Spirit Lock Formation construction is not acceptable."

"..."

"With the unexpected withdrawal of the three candidates, the next inheritor of the position of Chief Commander has been basically determined."

"He was originally the least favored, didn't even take the election seriously before, and could be said to have won without a fight..."

"From Tianyun Province, Lu Junyi."

"Tianyun Province..."

Thinking of He Zhenghao, who was currently working in the Tianyun Province Garrison Courtyard, it seemed that one person's success could lift others to heaven.

Li Fan wondered if He Zhenghao would gain anything from this.
