Zhang Qianmo’s “I will be back soon,” took quite a while indeed.

Three days and three nights had passed without a trace of him seen.

Li Fan stands on Violet Sky Flying Cloud, in complete boredom, observing the Ningyuan City below him.

In the battle between Zhang Qianmo and Song Hesong, both Golden Core Cultivators, most parts of Ningyuan City had turned into ruins.

And the mortals who survived this unexpected disaster, have cried their voices dry, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

“Mr. Bai has spoken!”

“Those who still have strength, gather here. Let’s work together to dig and rescue those who are still alive!”

“Those with minor injuries, help collect water and food…”

“Everyone, place those with serious injuries in the small temple. Mr. Bai will treat them there!”

Just as the disaster victims fell into despair, sudden shouts rose from various places within Ningyuan City.

Listening to this, Li Fan found it interesting.

Because the owners of these voices, were surprisingly just a group of children in their early teens.

Dressed like beggars, their bodies frail.

But they possessed an extraordinary cleverness of the young.

The shouts of the children, like the light of dawn before sunrise, illuminated the darkness.

As if they had a backbone, the people gradually began to awaken from their numbness and confusion.

Eventually, they orderly began to save themselves.

Seeing this scene before him, Li Fan suddenly recalled the scene of organizing the rescue in the ruined Xuanjing City after his first encounter with Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi.

While caught up in his thoughts, a surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the Drunken Fairy Tower.

“It seems that Miss Chi Xia has successfully absorbed the aura,” Li Fan mused to himself.

As expected, Zhang Qianmo returned half a day later.

Although his face was still calm, the joy in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.

“Sorry for the wait, Junior Brother!” Zhang Qianmo apologized.

“Congratulations on solving one of your concerns, Senior Brother!” Li Fan said with a smile, “Is Miss Chi Xia not coming back with us to the mountain?”

Zhang Qianmo waved his hand: “Let’s wait for the decision of the Sect Leader Master.”

“Since we’ve waited this long, a little longer won’t hurt.”

“Haha, in my opinion, expecting those old fellows in the sect to accept this so-called new method in a short time might be a bit difficult.” Zhang Qianmo sneered.

Li Fan nodded in agreement.

With only three to four days left to stay in the Fallen Immortal Realm, Li Fan wasn’t in a hurry to return.

He wanted to take this opportunity to visit the Violet Firmament Sect.

He had long been attracted to the prosperous scene of the cultivators’ sect.

Unfortunately, the Violet Firmament Sect was quite far from Ningyuan City.

After traveling more than half the distance, Li Fan felt the surrounding scenery becoming blurry.

The image and sound were gradually getting farther away, and in a moment, Li Fan’s consciousness returned to the TianXuan Mirror.

A wave of heat suddenly surged in his brain, causing a slight sting.

Li Fan couldn’t help frowning, but quickly, he showed a delighted smile.

Upon recalling, the content of the “Violet Sky Soul Viewing Art” emerged in his spirit consciousness, clear as day.

“This method of ‘Equivalent Exchange’ really works.”

But the art of using the divine soul is not a technique.

So naturally, there is no hint about the number of cultivators it has been taught to.

With his experience in the Fallen Immortal Realm, Li Fan completely mastered it without much effort.

“With this soul-searching art, all that’s left is for Zhou Qingang to get those fifty top-grade spirit stones.”

He purchased some items in the TianXuan Mirror to make sure he was fully prepared.

Li Fan cultivated while patiently waiting.

Seven days later, sensing Zhou Qingang changing his appearance again and leaving Taian Island,

Li Fan also left Ten Thousand Immortals Island at the same time, concealed his figure, and headed toward the location of Zhou Qingang.

The place where Zhou Qingang had retrieved the spirit stone was also a place Li Fan had previously visited.

It was the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion on Youlan Island, where he had obtained the “Comprehensive Guide to the Hundred Veins Array”, a heritage left by He Zhenghao, during his twelfth reincarnation.

Li Fan didn’t follow Zhou Qingang inside, instead, he quietly ambushed outside.

Not long after, Zhou Qingang came out of Youlan Island in a grand and casual manner.

He headed towards a remote and uninhabited marine area, presumably to revert to his original appearance.

This move was exactly what Li Fan wanted, he quietly followed at a distance.

With the monitoring of the Formless Killing Machine, no matter what tricks Zhou Qingang played, he could not get rid of Li Fan’s tracking.

After more than half a day, Zhou Qingang felt safe.

He went underwater, found a set of ruins, and transformed back to his original appearance.

Feeling the top-grade spirit stone in the storage ring, worth fifty thousand contribution points, Zhou Qingang prepared to take a trip to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island first to clear his debts.

However, the moment he surfaced from the water, Zhou Qingang was horrified to discover that for some reason, his body had suddenly stiffened and he had lost control.

Moreover, the deafening sound of a copper gong exploded above his head at the same time.

Dizzy and ringing in his ears.

“Damn it!”

This thought flashed through in his spirit consciousness just before Zhou Qingang fainted.

Li Fan appeared and grabbed Zhou Qingang, and dove back under the water.

In the ruins, he found a building and set up some array techniques around it before darting in.

He threw the unconscious Zhou Qingang, who had lost both consciousness and the ability to resist, on the ground.

Then he took out thirteen cold iron nails from his storage ring and inserted them into Zhou Qingang’s body.

Only then did Li Fan start to use the Violet Sky Soul Viewing Art.

Zhou Qingang’s body convulsed violently.

Pictures flashed quickly before Li Fan’s eyes.

“Built the Tao Foundation with the [Heart of Sevenfold Subtlety], changed the face with the, [The Face Changes According to the Heart] …”

“I see.”

“No wonder he could infiltrate the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals as a spy, he does have some tricks.”

Li Fan was suddenly pleased.

Just as Li Fan was preparing to continue scrutinizing Zhou Qingang’s divine soul to check his higher-ups and the organization he served, as if he had triggered some kind of prohibition.

A terrible destructive force erupted from the depths of Zhou Qingang’s divine soul.

Li Fan’s face changed, and he immediately withdrew his divine sense.

However, he was unable to stop this force from destroying Zhou Qingang’s divine soul.

Even in his coma, Zhou Qingang let out a scream.

Then, Li Fan saw that his divine soul was wiped out in an instant.

Although the breath of life was still there, he was already like a living dead, becoming an empty shell.

“A security countermeasure…”

Seeing this, Li Fan wasn’t particularly surprised.

“What a pity, couldn’t find out more secrets.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan removed the traces of the array technique he had previously set up.

Then he took Zhou Qingang’s body and fled hundreds of miles away.

Came to a sea area densely populated with fish.

He threw Zhou Qingang towards the school of fish.

Although his divine soul had disappeared, the aura emanating from the foundation establishment stage induced a natural fear among these marine creatures.

All of them kept their distance from him, none of them dared to treat the body as food.

Seeing this, the Formless Killing Machine locked onto the strongest fish in the school.

He then retreated over a hundred miles again.

Activated the Formless Killing Machine targeted at Zhou Qingang..
