Li Fan didn’t rush to rescue the little girl who was being tortured by pain.
Instead, through sensing what was happening to Lu Xuejing, he slowly realized the authority of being a master.
“Hmm… I can vaguely perceive her surroundings. I can even directly speak in her mind, giving her commands.”
“It seems that the previous communication talisman was superfluous and would have left a loophole.”
“It’s better to take it back.”
Li Fan slowly flew to Lu Xuejing’s side in a leisurely manner.
She had been in prolonged agony, her pretty face pale as a sheet of paper.
Her entire body was drenched with sweat, like she had just been pulled from the water.
Her delicate body was faintly discernible under her translucent and soaked clothes.
Li Fan placed his hands on her, controlling Lu Xuejing’s trembling body. His spiritual power left his body and circulated within her.
Her body seemed completely defenseless to him.
In a blink of an eye, Li Fan finished his exploration.
In Li Fan’s eyes, the young girl no longer had any secrets.
Seeing clearly the Foundation Establishment Strange Object within Lu Xuejing’s Dantian, Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
A snowfield where everything was frozen for thousands of miles.
Even vaguely visible were many miniature scenes of cities and villages.
A piece of information flashed in his mind.
“Earth’s Wonders: Winter Ice Crystal.”
“As expected of the top Immortal Second Generation of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Not only could she establish her foundation at the age of twenty-three, but her Foundation Establishment Strange Object is an Earth’s Wonders that matches her physique and technique.”
“The starting point of her life is a position that ordinary cultivators could only dream of reaching in their entire life.”
“Unfortunately, her brain isn’t quite sharp.”
Li Fan’s eyes were icy cold, without any sympathy or pity in his heart.
Li Fan continued his research.
“Only pure spiritual energy within the body, no other types of strange energy. No traces of array techniques or restrictions.”
“The source of this pain seems like it directly modified the foundational settings of her body through the root source.”
“Without a master, she loses the basis for the continuation of life.”
“Such a method is unfathomable.”
Just as he was secretly marveling at this, Lu Xuejing, who had been tortured for a long time, was growing weaker. It seemed she was not going to make it.
She was almost on the verge of death, her struggle grew weaker, and her pupils started to dilate.
“Master… save me.” Lu Xuejing’s voice suddenly sounded in Li Fan’s mind.
At this moment, perhaps driven by the instinct to survive, she finally completely submitted to Li Fan.
Li Fan smiled faintly, his right hand gently stroking her head.
“Huff!”
Lu Xuejing’s body arched violently, as if she could finally breathe smoothly, panting heavily.
At the same time, maybe due to the aftereffects of her prolonged suffering, after a while, her body swiftly collapsed again, starting to convulse irregularly.
Li Fan never let go of his hand.
After who knows how long, Lu Xuejing finally started to slowly recover.
Her body and mind had reached their limits, and she fell into a deep sleep.
“She is too young and naive. If she returns in this state, she might spill the beans about her own life even if she doesn’t want to. ”
“I need to guide her further.”
Looking at Lu Xuejing, who was now unconscious and with an abnormal flush on her face, Li Fan withdrew his right hand and lightly pointed at her forehead.
Mistwater Mirage Technique, activate!
With his advancement to the Golden Core Stage, his spirit consciousness made a qualitative leap. The dreams Li Fan fabricates have become more real.
In the recurrent dreams, Li Fan took the role of the master, guiding Lu Xuejing through all possible scenarios she might encounter upon getting her memory back.
Within these dreams, weaved from Lu Xuejing’s memories, Li Fan gained a rough understanding of her mother, Lu Qixian.
She was immensely dominant, with a strong desire for control.
She had plotted Lu Xuejing’s path of cultivation early on.
Because of her busy official duties, she used a mere manifestation to keep an eye on her child, not her true person.
With unyielding decisions and no emotional communication with her child.
“Had it not been for me, the child could have completely lost her proper education.”
Li Fan shook his head in private.
When the sun set again, Lu Xuejing finally woke up from the endless illusion dreams.
The confusion in her eyes gradually faded. Upon seeing Li Fan, she instinctively called out, “Master…”
But she quickly realized the mistake.
Panic flashed in her eyes, but her body had already formed its instincts.
Combined with the endless purgatory-like pain she had just experienced, still vivid in her sight.
Lu Xuejing couldn’t summon any courage to resist.
After merely a moment of hesitation, she turned over, knelt down before Li Fan with her head bowed, not daring to move without Li Fan’s command.
“You may leave now and wait for my command while you quietly cultivate and recuperate.” After a long while, Li Fan finally spoke.
“This servant understands.” Lu Xuejing once again kowtowed with a loud thud.
Then she rose and flew away. Her actions didn’t reflect any panic, and her face reverted to its previous haughty expression.
“With Lu Xuejing’s cooperation, my chances of entering the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven has greatly increased. Whether it can be achieved or not still depends on how things unfold.”
“But preparations still have to be made.”
Li Fan watched Lu Xuejing disappear, and moments later, he too transformed into a beam of light and returned to Tianyu City.
Before cultivating, Li Fan first obtained some information about the Commander of the Tianyu State Garrison Command, Guan Xingxiu.
Ji Hongdao had already warned him, quite abnormally, that he had nothing to worry about anymore after he left.
At that time, Li Fan had a premonition that the end might not be very good for this commander.
As expected, it wasn’t.
First, he was dismissed and investigated.
Then swiftly concluded: Guan Xingxiu’s realm of cultivation was reduced by one whole level, and he was banished to the far south, Lanlin Province.
The punishment was indeed severe.
Apart from Guan Xingxiu, two other commanders were also heavily punished.
Although they were not robbed of their cultivation like Guan Xingxiu, they were indeed transferred from their posts and were no longer associated with the position of the commander of the Defense Institute.
“This is nothing but a thunderous declaration to the people below, demonstrating their determination to construct the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you are falsely accused or a schemer of the conspiracy. If one has any involvement with this matter, they will be severely disciplined.”
“For the position of the overall commander, some conspiracy tactics can be used.”
“But obstructing the construction process of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array is not allowed.”
“With the unexpected withdrawal of the three candidates, the successor for the next overall command is almost settled.”
“Initially the least expected, even he did not take the election seriously and could be said to have won without even trying…”
“From Tianyun State, it’s Lu Junyi.”
“Tianyun State…”
Li Fan recalled that He Zhenghao was currently serving in the Tianyun State Defense Institute. As they say, ‘when one man achieves Tao, his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven’.
He wondered whether he would get any benefits this time.
